Chapter 10: Wang Yi Enters the Immortal Sect

Old Man Dao circled around Younger Brother twice, assessing him from top to bottom. Stroking his beard, he inquired, "What is your name?"

"I am Wang Yi," Younger Brother replied, bowing respectfully.

"Do you wish to join the Taihao Sword Sect and cultivate Immortal Techniques under my guidance?" the old Daoist asked.

Simultaneously, he reached into a small cloth bag at his waist, producing a radiant small sword. The sword, initially about a foot long, elongated in the wind, reaching several feet in length after a moment.

Pointing towards a large stone in the distance, Old Man gestured, and the massive sword, resembling a bolt of lightning, slashed towards the stone.

"Boom!"

The mountain-like stone immediately shattered into pieces.

The sword danced in the air for a moment, then shrunk back to a foot in length, landing in Old Man's hand.

Younger Brother's mind was in disarray from the sudden and overwhelming display. He was unable to react immediately. Old Man seemed satisfied with Younger Brother's stunned expression and waited patiently, stroking his beard. The others were also in a state of shock.

"An immortal! I've only heard legends before. I never thought I would have the chance to see one in person. I can boast about this for a lifetime!"

"If I could seize this opportunity to join the immortals, I would become an Immortal Master myself in the future."

"Why isn't this kid agreeing already? I'm getting anxious for him."

After a moment, Wang Yi finally recovered and turned to look at Wang Hong. He asked the Immortal Master, "May Immortal Master also accept my elder brother?"

Following Younger Brother's gaze, Old Daoist found Wang Hong. Wang Hong, torn between his desire to join the immortal sect and concerns about burdening his younger brother, looked conflicted.

Old Daoist shook his head, saying, "Is this your elder brother? His aptitude is too poor; he has Four Elements Spiritual Roots. I don't have the authority to admit him to the sect. Only the Golden Core Elders have such privileges. Unless you can persuade a Golden Core Elder in the future or achieve Golden Core cultivation yourself which, given your Single Element Spiritual Root aptitude, shouldn't be a problem."

Due to the restricted access for outsiders at the academy, various people lurked around the entrance these days, trying to gather information.

On the second day, Wang Hong swallowed the immortal pill. Holding onto such a precious item drew many curious onlookers who wanted to see and even smell the pill. They wished they could devour Wang Hong too. Fortunately, Wang Hong still carried the title of an immortal senior, and for now, no one dared to forcibly snatch it. The wrath of an immortal was something nobody wanted to endure.

In front of some people, Wang Hong swallowed the pill in one go. His face immediately turned red, and he staggered back to his room, seemingly drunk on the power of the pill.

Wang Hong felt the pill turn into a warm energy upon entering his stomach, spreading throughout his body. It felt like soaking in warm water, leaving him with a pleasant warmth all over.

Quickly entering a meditative state, Wang Hong guided the internal energy, directing the warmth into his dantian. The internal energy accumulated more and more in his dantian, causing it to swell as if on the verge of bursting.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" inside his body. The flow of energy from the dantian seemed to find a release point, descending through the Yin channel, passing the tailbone's strong acupoint, running along the spine through the Governing Vessel, pausing briefly before rushing through the Mingmen acupoint, ascending through the Yang channel, directly surging to the Fengfu acupoint at the back of the head. Wang Hong calmly guided the internal energy, allowing it to ascend. In just a few breaths, with a "buzz," the internal energy surged through the Fengfu acupoint into the upper dantian.

The internal energy didn't stay in the upper dantian for long. Wang Hong guided it downward through the Ren and Du meridians to the lower dantian, completing a small circulation. This marked the completion of the Microcosmic Orbit, signifying Wang Hong's official entry into the Acquired Stage as a martial artist.

Wang Hong had only been practicing internal energy for a few days, but with a single immortal pill, he had become a martial artist in the Acquired Stage. The methods of the immortal were indeed extraordinary. This pill alone could replace five years of cultivation.

Moving gently in the room, Wang Hong felt his senses sharpened, his mind clear, and his spirit refreshed. Clenching his fist, he felt a surge of strength throughout his body. Generally, when a martial artist entered the Acquired Stage, their strength could reach six hundred kilograms.

Wang Hong was considering finding a place to test his strength when he heard a "knock, knock, knock" on the door.

Opening the door, a student in academy attire stood outside. "Wang Hong, the dean is looking for you."

Wang Hong asked with some confusion, "Do you know what it's about?"

"I have no idea. You'll find out when you go."

"Alright, thanks! I'll go right away."
