Chapter 1: Poor and penniless, he came to recruit disciples
When the sun was about to rise, a donkey-riding man who looked like a quack doctor came from the main road east of the village.
If you look closely, you will find that it is a skinny donkey with dead hair all over its body. The new hair is bright and the dead hair is dark. It looks dirty as if it has leprosy.
The donkey is so ugly, but the quack doctor who leads the donkey is extraordinary. He wears an exquisite Taoist hat and a neat Taoist robe. He shakes a golden copper bell in one hand and holds a green hemp rein in the other hand. He greets the early risers with a smile.
The beautifully dressed Taoist priest and the extremely ugly donkey attracted the attention of the villagers, and the villagers came up to chat with him.
"Master, your donkey is not young, right?"
The Taoist replied with a smile: "Good eyes, fellow villager, it is almost a hundred years old."
After saying that, he reached out and touched the donkey's head. Feeling the Taoist's touch, the donkey raised its head and snorted like a horse.
"Hey, Master, don't joke with me. Donkeys can only live for twenty years at most. How can they live for more than a hundred years?" The villagers asked suspiciously.
The Taoist smiled and said nothing.
This smile made the villagers feel that the Taoist was unfathomable. Some villagers asked: "Master, where do you practice?"
The Taoist said: "It's in the Qingshan Sect of Daqing Mountain not far from your village."
The villagers were in awe. They didn't expect that this Taoist priest actually came from the immortal sect?
Even the villagers who were busy farming all year round knew that any place with "zong" was a great sect. It was a place where immortals with magical powers gathered. The status of this Taoist priest from there was naturally extraordinary.
Seeing the Taoist leading the donkey away, several people looked at each other hurriedly, exchanged glances quickly, and conspired with their eyes.
One person went straight to the village chief's house, one went straight to the homes of several village elders, one went straight to the family private school in the village, and one went forward to entangle the Taoist.
…
Li Qingyun felt the movement behind him and showed a successful smile on his face. His trick really worked. He was a hermit, well-dressed, and righteous. He didn't believe that these people would not send their children to him as apprentices.
Humph, this is much more effective than going to them to arrange it with a flattering face.
Li Qingyun walked and calculated. This village is a big village. All the people in the village are surnamed Wang. There are at least 3,000 people. 3,000 people... There is a great hope that he can recruit another good seedling.
Thinking of this, Li Qingyun couldn't help but feel sad.
Others who traveled through time all had extraordinary talents. Even if they didn't, they were once the second generation of immortals. But he traveled through time and became the young master of a ruined sect. The key point was that his parents died. When the tree fell, the monkeys scattered. Except for him, the entire sect was disbanded and only an old gatekeeper and the old donkey under his crotch were left.
It has been almost a month since he traveled to this world. Li Qingyun probably already understands the rules of this world, which is a world of cultivating immortals.
It's just that this world is too big. Before Li Qingyun had time to appreciate the customs and customs of various places, he was assigned tasks by a system that came from nowhere.
Of course, for Li Qingyun, who could accept such an outrageous thing as traveling through time, it was not difficult to accept the system.
"The sect cultivation system is open, the main task: become the strongest sect in history!"
"The first task is to recruit 2 disciples under the age of 16 with a comprehensive score of three stars or above."
"Deadline, one month."
"Task reward: random sect props
Failure penalty: If the first task fails, it means that the host is not suitable for this system, then this system will make a decision to destroy the host!"
The simple and rough system made Li Qingyun have nowhere to complain. Now he looks calm and steady on the surface, but in fact he is as panicked as the villagers behind him who are chasing him in a hurry.
The task will expire in three days. I am still as handsome and healthy as in my previous life. I can still cultivate immortality. I don't want to die!
The villager Wang Ergou finally caught up with Li Qingyun and stood on one side, breathing heavily.
"Brother Ergou, don't worry." Li Qingyun mobilized his spiritual power and gently brushed Wang Ergou, and Wang Ergou's rapid breathing turned into a gentle sound.
Ergou swallowed his saliva: "Master, you are so powerful... No! How did you know my name is Ergou!"
Li Qingyun smiled mysteriously again and said nothing.
In Wang Ergou's heart, Li Qingyun's status was once again raised to an unprecedented level. He had seen age, physical condition, and even family situation guessed, but he had never seen a name guessed! It was simply a magical method!
In fact, Li Qingyun just used the system to check Wang Ergou's qualifications.
"Name: Wang Ergou
Age: 30 years old
Qualifications: single spiritual vein, root bone 1, understanding 2, blessing source 1, heart 7, total score 11
Cultivation: None
Star: Not in the grade"
It is said that this is only the basic function of the system. Li Qingyun smiled. I wonder what the non-basic functions of the system are?
Wang Ergou said cautiously: "Master, my elder brother asked me to stop you just now and not let you go too far. Our village chief will come to see you later and said he wants to show his hospitality as a host."
"I appreciate your kindness, but I have a tight schedule, so I won't waste time on these formalities." Li Qingyun still looked mysterious and said lightly.
Wang Ergou was immediately anxious: "Master, don't misunderstand me. I think they have something to ask you. According to my guess, they may want to bring the children of school age in the village to be disciples of the Master!"
"This..." Li Qingyun frowned, looking embarrassed, as if it was very difficult for the villagers to send him disciples.
Wang Ergou said anxiously: "Master... you... you... you wait here, I will be back in a while!"
After that, he ran away.
Not long after, Wang Ergou led a group of people to rush over. Yes, they rushed over. No matter young or old, they all ran forward.
An old man with gray beard in front was carried by a strong young man. His raised goatee was bumped up and down by the rapid running.
Even so, the old men still looked up and shouted: "Master, don't leave, listen to what I have to say."
Li Qingyun turned around and left as if he didn't hear anything.
But as soon as he turned around, he felt the old man leaning forward excitedly. The young man had no time to stop him and was about to fall to the ground...
"Alas..." Li Qingyun sighed deeply.
The next moment he appeared beside the old man and gently supported him.
"Come on! Come on! Since I came here, I have a fate with you. Then I will take a look at your children!"
After Li Qingyun helped the old man up, he stood proudly in front of everyone. The breeze blew, and his sleeves fluttered gently, just like a Taoist master with immortal style and bones.
The old man grabbed Li Qingyun's sleeves and cried like a child: "The immortal is really kind-hearted."
The villagers behind him also echoed:
"Yes, thank you, immortal master!"
"Thank you for giving us the blessings of the younger generation!"
"Thank you, great mercy..."
Some people even knelt down with their knees weak.
Li Qingyun used his magic power to hold up the people who wanted to kneel down: "Excuse me, everyone, please take me to see the child first."
"Yes, yes, don't delay the immortal, let's go to the private school to see the child first."
"I'll lead the way!" Wang Ergou ran to the front diligently and said proudly to the people around him: "Thanks to my timely report, right? If I hadn't said good things to the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest would have left."
