Chapter 4: Ye Dafu
More than a month later, Xiao Nanfeng had left Tianshu Empire and appeared in a small town by the East Sea.
The second floor of a teahouse in the town had an area where a large number of books were displayed for sale.
Xiao Nanfeng was currently standing next to the book counter, picking out books one by one.
"Customer, don't you want to take a look at these techniques? The gongfa we have here are all first-class superior gongfa, although they are a bit more expensive, but, they can allow you to increase your cultivation as soon as possible." The owner of the teahouse was endlessly selling the gongfu to Xiao Nanfeng.
Xiao Nanfeng was too lazy to pay attention to it, he was going to worship the Immortal Sect, so if he didn't learn the techniques within the Immortal Sect, he would not learn the techniques of this small teahouse. He didn't even glance at those best-selling gongfu, and only picked a pile of old books that were covered in tons of dust.
"These Taoist scriptures seem to be a bit worn out, huh?" Xiao Nanfeng frowned.
The teahouse owner's face was ugly for a while, "Those are special books, my grandfather's previous collection of orphaned books, from my grandfather's generation has been placed here, have been turned over for decades, naturally a bit worn, if not for my grandfather's rules that do not allow the replacement of this, I would not sell this thing."
These Taoist scriptures, obscure, illusory, and not gongfu, placed here for decades have not been sold, the teenager in front of him should also be asked to play, right?
"How to sell these books?" Xiao Nanfeng asked.
The teahouse owner looked stunned: "You want it? Oops, great, one or two gold, take them all."
"Boss, this books of yours, you can't even sell them after decades, and you want one or two gold?" Xiao Nanfeng frowned.
"This is the rule set by my grandfather, it can't be changed, you won't really buy it, right?" The teahouse owner said in shock.
"What do you say?" Xiao Nanfeng took out one tael of gold and shook it.
"Hahaha, guest atmosphere, I'll give you today's breakfast free." The teahouse owner was instantly surprised.
These broken books had taken up a lot of space in the bookcase, and now that they were cleared out, they could finally shelve some new best-selling books.
Holding a dozen or so unread Taoist scriptures, Xiao Nanfeng walked to a window seat, summoned Xiao Er to order some food, and flipped through the scriptures.
Just as Xiao Nanfeng was eating his breakfast and reading intently until he reached the highlights, a derisive whisper suddenly came from the neighboring table.
"That fool, actually spending a tael of gold on a pile of trash, tsk tsk."
"Boss, I think he can't afford a cultivation technique and wants to pick up the pieces and hit the jackpot."
"Boss, he's definitely a pauper."
...
But the neighboring table sat twelve gorgeously dressed young people, at this moment the stars of the moon to compliment one of the white man, the white man shook a white paper fan, face proud, mouth without a cover to the people around the constant review, the other people are all compliments, so that he is more and more complacent.
Xiao Nanfeng looked at this group of people, rather speechless, which came out of a group of psychopaths? Don't you guys worry about getting into trouble for being so rude? It's none of your business if I buy a book.
Xiao Nanfeng directly ignored this group of people, and continued to bury his head in the Taoist scriptures, feeling the subtleties.
"Boss, Taiqing Immortal Sect's ship, will it really come today?" A person at the neighboring table asked the white-clothed youth.
The youth in white shook his white paper fan somewhat tartly and said, "What? You guys don't believe my Ye Dafu's words?"
"I'm just a little excited, we definitely believe you ah. All of our clans follow you Ye Dafu, and all of us young family heads, we definitely all look up to you." The man complimented.
Ye Dafu pointed out the window with satisfaction, "See the carriage outside?"
The crowd looked out the window, and sure enough, the town was extremely lively at the moment, with countless gorgeous carriages coming from all directions, gathering towards the outskirts of the pier not far away, blocking the surrounding roads.
"These carriages are full of people who have come to snatch the master worship quota from us?" The crowd of followers immediately looked offended
"How powerful is the Taiqing Immortal Sect, wouldn't it be normal for it to be sought after by people from all over the world? You should know that even the Human Emperor of my Tianshu Empire is from the Taiqing Immortal Sect." Ye Dafu exclaimed.
"We must become Taiqing Immortal Sect disciples." A follower said with anticipation on his face.
"Taiqing Immortal Sect's disciples are divided into two types, one is a formal disciple and the other is a miscellaneous disciple, and it depends on each one's ability as to what kind of disciple one can become. Anyway, I will definitely become a formal disciple." Ye Dafu said with incomparable confidence.
"Huh? There are two types of disciples?" The crowd was curious.
"Later on, it's just a preliminary selection, there are three docking points along the coast, and the Taiqing Immortal Sect's sea ships will dock at each of them, bringing disciples who meet the criteria of the preliminary selection on board, and sending them to Taiqing Island, and then the people who specialize in recruiting disciples will carry out a second screening, and only then will they be able to determine what kind of disciple they will be. " Ye Dafu explained.
"It's still Boss who's great and knows everything." A follower complimented.
"That's of course, my Ye family already has someone who worships Taiqing Immortal Sect ah, naturally I know this matter very well.Taiqing Immortal Sect's sea ship, it comes once a year, if you miss today you will have to wait for another year, so you guys must behave yourselves well later on." Ye Dafu proudly said.
"Don't worry boss, we will definitely not disgrace the boss." A group of followers rubbed their fists.
"Coming, Taiqing Immortal Sect's sea ships are coming!" Steeply, a surprised shout came from outside the teahouse.
Ye Dafu's group of followers were so excited that they peeled themselves at the window to look out, and Xiao Nanfeng also twisted her head to look out the window above the sea in the distance.
It was then seen that a sea ship as huge as a palace sailed in. On the hull of the ship, the word 'Tai Qing' was written in ancient script, very imposing.
The reason why the large pier was empty today was because all the fishing boats had to give way to this Taiqing Immortal Sect's ship.
"Welcome Immortal Master Taiqing!" Voices of awe rose and fell.
However, it was seen that the sea vessel was slowly docking, and at the edge of the deck stood a group of men in Taoist robes, who were currently standing tall and looking down on the respectful worshippers gathered outside the pier.
"But do you want to worship the Taiqing Immortal Sect?" a man in Daoist robes asked in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The people near the pier immediately responded respectfully.
"Those within ten years of age whose physical cultivation reaches the sixth level of the ACQUIRED Realm, and those within twenty years of age whose physical cultivation reaches the INNATE Realm can board the ship free of charge and without trial." The dao-robed man let out a loud drink.
The sound of the loud drink reached the restaurant not far away.
"Boss, let's quickly go over there, don't let the immortal masters wait for a long time." A follower said excitedly.
"What's the rush, the ones on board are just miscellaneous disciples of the Taiqing Immortal Sect." Ye Dafu breezily said.
"What did he mean just now when he said that those who reach the sixth level of ACCREDITED REALM within ten years of age, and those who reach INNATE REALM within twenty years of age, can board the ship for free without trial?" A follower couldn't help but ask.
"It's a standard of measurement, people with this kind of talent are basically formal disciples when they enter the Taiqing Immortal Sect, so they can naturally act recklessly, and they, the miscellaneous disciples, naturally don't dare to make things difficult." Ye Dafu explained.
"In that case, Boss, you can get on board anytime you want?" A group of followers said enviously.
Ye Dafu revealed a hint of smugness, "That's natural."
In the distance, the dao-robed man on the large ship looked around and continued, "Everyone else, those who wish to worship the Taiqing Immortal Sect need to be under the age of thirty, undergo a talent and age screening, and be sorted at this pier, and only the first three hundred will be taken, and receive a license to board the ship!"
"Yes!" A crowd of people from all directions answered and shouted.
At once, those who met the requirements headed to the pier to undergo the test.
"Boss, then we'll go over first." A group of followers impatiently said.
"Good, with your talents, you should be fine." Ye Dafu said confidently.
The group of followers quickly left most of them, and only two of them stayed behind to accompany Ye Dafu as he continued to eat.
"Huh? Boss, you see that poor guy seems to be boarding the ship as well?" One of the followers said in surprise.
"Huh?" Ye Dafu turned his head to look.
He only saw Xiao Nanfeng take out the package and unhurriedly pack the special books he had just bought into his luggage.
"Boss, thanks for the hospitality these past few days, I'm leaving." Xiao Nanfeng spoke.
"I wish the guest a good trip to Taiqing Immortal Sect and worship a famous teacher." The teahouse owner also smiled and said politely.
Ye Dafu and his two followers glanced at each other.
"This poor guy, he looks like he's only 16 or 17 years old, right? He's also going to board the ship? And, he actually didn't go for the ship entry audit?" A follower said in surprise.
"We didn't go for the audit because we've already reached the exemption standard. That poor guy, who is like three or four years younger than us, could he also be?" Another follower was surprised.
"His physical body cultivation has reached innate realm? "Ye Dafu's pupils also shrank.
Ye Dafu's cultivation talent was extremely high, he was highly expected by his family, and was even touted by countless people over the years, and had always felt that his cultivation talent was hard to beat, but the teenager in front of him reached innate realm at such a young age, could it be that he is even more talented than me?
