I changed the world.

Wuling Mountain is located in the suburbs of Zhongxiang City, Zhongzhou Province. Legend has it that Taoist practitioners once practiced alchemy and cultivation in the mountain.

Zhongxiang is a famous historical city. As the birthplace of the entire Zhuxia culture, Zhongxiang has an extremely diverse collection of historical relics and ancient sites. For thousands of years, there have been countless legends like these. Therefore, if Wuling Mountain were in another city, it would be a well-known scenic spot. However, in Zhongxiang, because there are many other more famous attractions, not many people visit Wuling Mountain every day.

Especially today, the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, with the holiday over and most companies resuming normal operations, the mountain path was quiet, with hardly anyone passing by, as it was not a well-known tourist spot.

Zhuque Cave is located near the summit of Wuling Mountain. Not far away is a star-gazing platform. Although it is called a star-gazing platform, it is actually just an ordinary rock platform. However, locals have added a legend that immortals once observed the celestial phenomena here at night.

Zhuque Cave is a naturally formed cave. Some statues were once carved on the cave walls, but due to the passage of time, the statues have become blurred and indistinct. The cave walls are blackened, which is a remnant of the incense that was once offered here, but that has long since ceased.

There is a clear spring inside the cave, and you can vaguely see many discarded coins in the spring. Occasionally, hikers come here to collect water, and the water quality is said to be quite good.

Starting from the early hours of that day, Wei Chengguang and Zhu Yingwei arrived near the Vermilion Bird Cave. Since they were unsure when the immortal they had encountered on Sulu Island would arrive, they decided to be on the safe side and, carrying supplies, began waiting at midnight the previous day...

However, it was almost 20:00 PM, and they still hadn't seen the immortal. The two didn't dare to complain. Perhaps the immortal was already observing from somewhere they couldn't see. After all, that's how it's written in those stories. Immortals don't just casually accept disciples; they always have to examine their character and such.

The more they thought about it, the less careless they became. They sat side by side on a rock not far from the Vermilion Bird Cave, pretending to be resting tourists.

Although they appeared to be sitting and resting, the two were actually listening intently to every sound and movement around them. However, after more than ten hours, especially since they hadn't really slept since the early hours of the morning, they were still ordinary people and both looked tired.

"Good, everyone has arrived." A peaceful, aged voice suddenly came from in front of me.

Both of them were startled and hurriedly looked up, only to find that an old man and a young man had appeared in front of them at some point. Both were dressed as Taoist priests, but in Wei Chengguang and Zhu Yingwei's eyes, the faces of the two people in front of them were blurry, as if they were looking through a layer of frosted glass.

Chapter 294 New Disciples' Initiation

This is the person they've been waiting for!

"Disciple Wei Chengguang (Zhu Yingwei) pays respects to the two immortal masters." The two hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to the ground.
