Women in the Biluo Realm are even cheaper than those in the Immortal Realm, especially those without cultivation strength, like Fairy Zixia, such a lofty person, but she has to marry a two-hundred-year-old rotten old man, and compete with hundreds of women for favor.

This is the fate of women. In fact, some women who are more lofty than Fairy Zixia, ultimately also marry old men who are several hundred years old, because you have to know that those who hold powerful strength and have vast influences are all people who have cultivated for hundreds of years.

Unless they are extraordinary talents, otherwise the strong and profound cultivation is built up over time.

However, Fairy Zixia is not a woman who accepts her fate, she would never agree to it.

Now, Fairy Zixia understood everything, why Beardless Daoist Master summoned her so quickly to the Biluo Realm, it turns out it was to marry her to that King of Eastern Mountain.

When one person attains enlightenment, even chickens and dogs rise to heaven. You have to know, if she marries the King of Eastern Mountain, Beardless Daoist Master, as her mentor, will rise in status in the power of the King of Eastern Mountain, not only thriving but getting promoted, becoming the Sect Leader of the Tri-Element Sect.

"Ugh..." Fairy Zixia responded despondently, she didn't dare to refuse immediately.

She must know that the sect rules of the Tri-Element Sect state that the marriages of all male and female disciples are controlled by the Tri-Element Sect,

meaning that Fairy Zixia's marriage is not up to her, but up to the sect. If she dares to marry on her own or disobey the sect arrangement, she will be eradicated.

Fairy Zixia's attitude was long expected by Beardless Daoist Master, so he wasn't too surprised, merely stating sternly and indisputably, "Alright, Zixia, I've cultivated you so that you can hopefully achieve great things in the future. Every gain comes with a loss, there are no perfect things in the world... Go back and think it over, I'll give you three days, answer me after three days..."

"Yes." Fairy Zixia responded and was just about to turn and leave when Beardless Daoist Master added, "Oh right, you can tell your friend Wang Xiaoqiang to come see me. Rest assured, as long as you agree to the matter with the King of Eastern Mountain, even if Wang Xiaoqiang is a good-for-nothing, I will take him as my disciple."

Fairy Zixia nodded and left without looking back.

Watching Fairy Zixia leave, Beardless Daoist Master touched his bare chin, eyes flashing with a sly light, secretly muttering, "Zixia, don't blame your mentor for being hard-hearted. If you don't marry the King of Eastern Mountain, my daughter Xiuchan will have to marry him. I don't want my daughter marrying a two-hundred-year-old rotten old man..."

…

Fairy Zixia returned to the cave abode despondently. She slumped onto a soft mat and said nothing, her face ashen, as if she had suffered a severe illness.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang and Ding Chunqiu knew something big was happening, and their hearts sank.

After hesitating a bit, Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "Fairy, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Fairy Zixia lifted her gaze and exhaled lightly, eyes flickering, "Little Qiang, go find my mentor, Beardless Daoist Master. He will take you as his disciple."

Wang Xiaoqiang's face was complex, saying nothing.

"I won't go there, I'll let the Immortal Crane take you." Fairy Zixia said, whistling, instantly the guarding Immortal Crane flew in. Fairy Zixia stretched out her hand, and the crane's long foot landed on her hand.

"Go, take my friend to find Beardless Daoist Master." Fairy Zixia instructed.

The Immortal Crane bowed slightly and chirped lowly, then took to the air, turned to Wang Xiaoqiang, chirped again.

Wang Xiaoqiang stood up and followed, accompanying the Immortal Crane, out of the Purple Mist Cave Mansion, arriving at Beardless Daoist Master's cave abode.

When Wang Xiaoqiang stood before Beardless Daoist Master, he felt a huge pressure enveloping him. Wang Xiaoqiang knew the other was using Divine Sense to lock onto him, but ultimately found that the other's Divine Sense couldn't lock onto him at all, only forming a layer of pressure.

Yet even this layer of pressure made Wang Xiaoqiang's body somewhat sluggish, not as agile as usual.

Suddenly…

Boom!

The pressure exploded, Beardless Daoist Master withdrew his Divine Sense, smiling at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Hehe. Is it Wang Xiaoqiang?"

"It's me. You must be Fairy Zixia's mentor, Beardless Daoist Master...?" Wang Xiaoqiang replied neither arrogantly nor humbly.

He had already used Divine Sense to probe the other's strength and secretly compared his own strength with the other's; the other's Great Luo Golden Immortal Third Liquid Realm cultivation was a full realm higher than his own.

But that was just Qi Refining Cultivation. In Body Refining Cultivation, he possessed the Undying Golden Body, the other seemed to have no Body Refining Cultivation.

Moreover, his Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique's five realm killing moves made both sides evenly matched. If a real fight broke out, the opponent might not be able to kill him.

"That's right, it is indeed me." Beardless Daoist smiled and said, "I heard that you, Wang Xiaoqiang, became a Supreme Celestial Genius in the Immortal Realm. Truly a remarkable hero..."

Beardless Daoist's tone carried a hint of sarcasm, yet it was well-concealed, not sounding offensive.

Wang Xiaoqiang laughed at himself and said, "A Supreme Celestial Genius in the Immortal Realm, but in the Biluo Realm, it's just like an ant, hardly worth mentioning."

"Haha, you are too modest." Beardless Daoist came over, patted Wang Xiaoqiang on the shoulder, and said, "I heard you want to join my Tri-Element Sect."

Beardless Daoist said this, obviously regarding himself as the Sect Leader.

He wouldn't dare to say this before because he wasn't the Sect Leader. Now it's different; he is certain that Fairy Zixia will marry the King of Eastern Mountain. Relying on the King of Eastern Mountain's influence, he will definitely become the Sect Leader of the Tri-Element Sect. Hence, his tone carried a bit of pretentiousness.

"That's right." Wang Xiaoqiang replied.

He hoped to join the Tri-Element Sect, not to take a master, but to obtain the cultivation resources provided by the Tri-Element Sect. Besides, as someone from a Lower Plane, in this perilous Biluo Realm, without a cultivation power as a backing, he would quickly be killed.

"Good, very good. However, entering the Tri-Element Sect requires one condition, which is to open three Immortal Veins. Actually, no matter which sect you enter, you need to open three Immortal Veins. If you can't, then it proves you're a waste; no one will take you. This is an unspoken rule in Biluo Realm." Beardless Daoist coldly said.

"Open Immortal Veins?" Wang Xiaoqiang murmured, finding it quite new yet a bit dismissive,

Back when he first arrived in the Immortal Realm, he was tested for his Spirit Root, and it proved he had none, labeled a waste. Yet, in the end, he unified the Immortal Realm, becoming its leader,

Now in Biluo Realm, he has to open Immortal Veins again, truly an endless variety of trials. But he was not afraid; his cultivation relied on the Five Elements Spirit Spring, unrelated to Spirit Root or Immortal Vein.

"Yes, the human body contains Immortal Veins, but they are usually closed off. Only when opened can they function. Immortal Veins are different from meridians; Spiritual Energy can travel through meridians, but Spiritual Liquid cannot. Spiritual Liquid can only pass through Immortal Veins,

When an Immortal Emperor advances to Daluo Golden Immortal, they transform Qi into Liquid, turning their inner Spiritual Energy into Spiritual Liquid. Therefore, anyone aiming to step into Daluo Golden Immortal must open Immortal Veins. If the Immortal Veins can't open, then their journey ends at Immortal Emperor Ninth Qi Realm..." Beardless Daoist finished, then asked, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and said, "I understand."

"Good that you understand. Generally speaking, opening one Immortal Vein allows entering Daluo Golden Immortal, but the cultivation speed will be extremely slow, like a snail's pace. Two veins are the same, just slightly faster, but in the future, you'll definitely have no great achievements...

Such people are considered waste; only by opening three Immortal Veins can one be considered of ordinary aptitude, eligible to enter various cultivation sects. Of course, if you can open four or five, that is medium aptitude. If you can open six or seven, that is upper-medium aptitude. If you can open eight or nine, that is high aptitude. If you can open ten Immortal Veins, you are of genius aptitude."

Beardless Daoist explained in detail for a while, and Wang Xiaoqiang felt a bit irritated listening, but he roughly understood. Immortal Veins and Spirit Root aptitudes are not much different; nothing extraordinary,

It didn't matter to him.

Because his inner Spiritual Energy relied on the Five Elements Spirit Spring, not the Dantian, so his inner Spiritual Energy could operate without meridians, and when transforming Qi into Liquid, Spiritual Liquid also didn't require Immortal Veins.

However, to cover up, he still said, "Then I'll trouble the Daoist to open my Immortal Veins..."

"Alright, then endure it. Opening Immortal Veins is a bit painful." Beardless Daoist's lips curled into a cold smile, then with a flick of his hand, he took out a thumb-sized, drill-shaped black Magic Treasure. It gleamed with a dark light.

"Immortal Drill, open my Immortal Veins!" Beardless Daoist waved his hand, tossing the drill-shaped Magic Treasure towards Wang Xiaoqiang, and immediately the drill-shaped Magic Treasure surged towards Wang Xiaoqiang.

Swoosh!

That drill Magic Treasure was indeed powerful; it actually pierced into Wang Xiaoqiang's Undying Golden Body at once, entering his body, then wriggled around like a loach, drilling to and fro inside Wang Xiaoqiang,

Wang Xiaoqiang felt both uncomfortable and painful, thinking that if he didn't have the Undying Golden Body, he would faint from the pain. Opening Immortal Veins was truly no joke.

The Immortal Drill wriggled inside Wang Xiaoqiang for quite a while, suddenly withdrawing on its own, flying back into Beardless Daoist's hand. Beardless Daoist stared at Wang Xiaoqiang, with a hint of disdain and amusement on his face. He snickered coldly.
