Chapter 2: 2. First Disciple

Chen Wentian was excited by his great idea and couldn't wait to get started. He decided to visit the closest town to test his luck and find his first disciple.

It was around lunchtime. The streets of the small farming town were bustling with activity as shops and stalls hawked their products for the residents. Chen Wentian playfully displayed a bit of his immortal power as he descended. The streak of blue fire behind him instantly attracted a lot of attention.

"Look!"

"Kyaa!"

"It's an immortal!"

People in the streets screamed in excitement. Only an immortal could fly!

They ran to the town square where he landed and gathered around. He looked around the crowd in satisfaction and enhanced his voice to speak.

"Citizens of Lin Town, please calm down. I am Immortal Blue Dragon, Chen Wentian!"

"Waahhhh!"

"He's so handsome!"

"He's so young!"

"That's amazing!"

Chen Wentian felt surprisingly happy inside. It actually felt this good to be flattered and praised! He enjoyed the applause and adulation a little more before continuing.

"I am going to create a new sect, and those that are destined and fortunate will become my first batch of disciples! Now, I will conduct an examination, anybody that wants to pursue the road to immortality can step forward."

The square immediately exploded in even more excitement. Amazing! Seeking disciples! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. All mortal cultivators were stuck at some level or other. What they lacked was not enthusiasm or dedication but a good teacher to lead them in. What they wished above all else was an immortal master!

The townspeople started pushing and shoving as they tried to crowd around him. Everyone wanted to be first as if that would somehow increase their chances.

He frowned and turned to a pompous looking fellow who managed to get beside him, "Town mayor, I presume? I request you form them into lines. My test is quick, everybody will have a chance."

"Sir immortal, I am and I will accomplish it!" The town mayor bowed.

He quickly directed his men to form the crowd into lines and some semblance of order and calm gradually returned.

Meanwhile, a young maiden named Lin Qingcheng was out at the market shopping with her mother. She had just turned eighteen recently. She was the only daughter of the town mayor and the undisputed distinguished young maiden of the town. She learned cultivation in a local sect and achieved some decent progress. Her mother thought that given a couple more years, she can find a good match for her daughter with some young master in the nearest city. That way, her mayor husband would have opportunities to increase his rank.

Lin Qingcheng heard about the immortal seeking disciples just like everybody else and was excited as well. She grabbed her mother's hand and they also headed over to join the fray. By the time they arrived, there was already a very long line that wrapped around the town square several times. Lin Qingcheng got in line while her mother left to seek her father.

Chen Wentian sat in the middle, screening each person one by one. He really only needed to study each person with spiritual sense for a few seconds to gauge their age and cultivation level. He also took into factor their appearance.

He was excited at the beginning but quickly realized how stupid this idea for seeking disciples was. There were around a few thousand hopefuls in line and at this rate, it would take him a few hours!

He sighed, slumping in his chair as he tried to make it go as fast as possible.

"Age thirty, 7th level Body Refinement, Fail!"

"Age thirty-five, 9th level Body Refinement, Fail!"

"Age twenty-eight, 5th level Body Refinement, Fail!"

"Age forty-one, 10th level Body Refinement, Fail!"

This town was truly trashy. He hated himself even more. What kind of stupid idea did he have? Did this town not have a single talent?

"Age twenty, 2nd level Body Refinement, Fail!"

"Age twenty-two, 2nd level Body Refinement, Fail!"

...

"Age eighteen, 3rd level Body Refinement, Wait!"

Finally, Chen Wentian broke out of his stupor as he opened his eyes to study the person in front of him. It was a handsome looking male youth. He had a slightly smug face, probably due to his appearance and constantly being the center of attention.

The mayor pitched in, "Sir immortal, this one is Yue Wuque, a young master from a prominent merchant family. His talent is one of the best in Lin Town."

"Fail!" Chen Wentian closed his eyes again. He smirked to himself as Yue Wuque, with a wronged and devastated expression, was pushed off the stage by the guards. No dirty men were allowed in his sect!

The test continued endlessly and he finally ran out of patience.

"Mayor, I have some prior engagements, this is taking too long. I apologize for my earlier method." He then turned to the crowd and increased his voice. "Everybody remain calm. Stay where you are and don't move, I will fly over and inspect each one of you. It will be faster this way."

He flew up and expanded his spiritual sense. He hovered above the line and inspected each person as he went. He grew more and more frustrated as he neared the end. There really was nobody good in this entire town. The only decent one was a dude! Unacceptable, what an inauspicious start to his immortal career.

He finally reached the very last person and stopped in surprise and delight.

"Age eighteen, 3rd level Body Refinement?"

He stared at the pretty maiden in front of him and was a bit stunned. She was a stunningly cute girl with almond-shaped eyes that had a hint of makeup. She had small red lips, a face white as jade, and glossy black hair held up in a couple of elegant but simple knots. Two adorable bangs framed her face which was accentuated by a charming dimple on her right cheek.

He was instantly attracted to her. He was an immortal for crying out loud but he couldn't stop his stomach from fluttering. The crowd parted as he landed in front of her.

He told her to follow and led her to the center. The mayor was crying in happiness when he saw as he knew his family had finally made it!

"Sir immortal, this is my daughter, Lin Qingcheng." He managed to say between happy sobs.

Chen Wentian laughed. "Good! An excellent name. We are fated to meet! Maiden Lin Qingcheng, I, Immortal Blue Dragon Chen Wentian, wish to take you as my disciple. Do you accept?"

Lin Qingcheng was stunned, an immortal's disciple! She had never imagined something like this would happen to her. Her simple life had only involved sleeping, eating, playing, and dreaming of a dashing future husband. She stared up at Chen Wentian and found him extremely handsome. She blushed pink and muttered something incoherent. Her father even had to kick her.

"Ow," She quickly bowed down, "This disciple accepts master's grace!"

Her parents also followed and bowed to the ground in gratitude.

Chen Wentian smiled at her, "Great, we shall have great adventures on the path of immortality. You'll be able to contact your parents as you wish and even visit them when you are strong enough. As a reward for raising a good daughter, here..."

He drew out some mortal money from his spatial bag. Mortal money was not that useful to him so he carelessly took out 10,000 taels of gold. It was a small mountain of gold. It was an amount was greater than the entire wealth of city lords and more than a hundred times what Lin Qingcheng's bride price would have been in a best-case scenario.

Watching her parents cry in joy, Lin Qingcheng was extremely appreciative of her new master. Chen Wentian was a bit surprised when she voluntarily took his hand but also incredibly happy. This was the first time a beautiful woman willingly held his hand!

"Time to go," He finally said.

"Goodbye, father, mother, Qingcheng will return as an immortal to bring more pride and joy upon my family!"

"Daughter, train hard!"

Chen Wentian spread his spiritual energy around Lin Qingcheng and they flew off into the sky.
