Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Facing Fairy Fang Qiong's question, Chen Tian didn't dare to hide anything and hurriedly replied, "Just now, this junior made a momentary mistake and allowed Lu Yonghao to release a carrier pigeon for help. At that time, this junior felt that it was over. However, after the time it takes to burn three incense sticks, the grandmaster that Lu Yonghao spoke of didn't arrive. This made this junior start to feel doubtful. After thinking it over and over, this junior felt that only you, Fairy, have the ability to resolve this matter for this junior. Therefore, this junior believes that it was you, Fairy, who secretly helped just now."

Chen Tian spoke out the reasoning he had been contemplating in his heart.

"Eh…"

Fairy Fang Qiong exclaimed in surprise after hearing this. She stared at Chen Tian for a good while before nodding and smiling, "You are indeed as rumored, an extremely intelligent person. That's right, I did secretly take action just now. The carrier pigeon that Lu Yonghao released can send a distress signal to his sect as long as it rises to an altitude of one thousand kilometers. At that time, the grandmaster in the Xuanqing Sect who has cultivated to the凝海境 (Condensing Sea Realm) will rush over. He is an extremely protective person, and he will definitely kill you without saying a word. So I secretly chased after it and intercepted the carrier pigeon."

As she said this, Fairy Fang Qiong stretched out her left hand, which she had been holding tightly. In her palm, a paper-folded carrier pigeon was enveloped in a ball of pink soft light. The carrier pigeon wanted to flap its wings and fly high, but it was unable to break through the encirclement of the pink light, and could only mechanically flap its wings, pretending to fly.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Although Chen Tian had already guessed that Fairy Fang Qiong had helped him just now, what Chen Tian also felt puzzled about was, what exactly was Fairy Fang Qiong's purpose in doing this?

Initially, when Chen Tian heard that Lu Yonghao and his disciple were brought here by Fairy Fang Qiong, Chen Tian secretly became wary of this woman, thinking that she was also a person who couldn't distinguish between right and wrong, and was his enemy.

However, when Chen Tian later realized that Fairy Fang Qiong had secretly helped him, Chen Tian was completely bewildered.

One moment she brings Chen Tian's enemies, the next moment she secretly helps Chen Tian defeat his enemies.

What exactly does this Fairy Fang Qiong want to do?

'Could it be that this woman is a bit crazy?'

After thinking it over and over, a strange thought arose in Chen Tian's mind, which made him slightly raise his head and look at Fairy Fang Qiong with a puzzled expression.

"You seem to be looking at me with some kind of sinister gaze?" Fairy Fang Qiong obviously noticed Chen Tian's gaze and immediately smiled charmingly, teasing him.

Chen Tian was startled after hearing this and hurriedly lowered his head, respectfully saying, "This junior wouldn't dare, this junior is just…"

"Just what?" Fairy Fang Qiong still asked with a gentle smile.

"Just… just…" Chen Tian was a little afraid to continue speaking.

Seeing his hesitant appearance, Fairy Fang Qiong covered her mouth and chuckled, saying for him, "Just very strange, why would I harm you one moment and help you the next, right?"

Hearing Fairy Fang Qiong ask the question that was in Chen Tian's heart, Chen Tian's body trembled. He didn't speak, but deeply nodded his head.

To be honest, Chen Tian felt that from the first moment he met Fairy Fang Qiong, his thoughts were seen through by her. This made Chen Tian not dare to say any lies in front of Fairy Fang Qiong, and everything became extremely respectful.

Fairy Fang Qiong smiled upon seeing this and said, "Actually, everything I've done is just a test for you."

"Huh?" Chen Tian's gaze narrowed after hearing this, and he also followed Fairy Fang Qiong's line of sight.

"Haha… Wonderful… Wonderful! Truly wonderful! Junior Sister Fang Qiong, you indeed haven't recommended the wrong person."

At this moment, the clouds behind Chen Tian trembled for a while, and then, three figures flew out.

Leading the way was a slovenly old man. He was holding a red jade wine pot in one hand and a piece of purple watermelon in the other, taking a sip of wine and a bite of watermelon, with an extremely lewd smile on his face. It was precisely the slovenly old man previously called 'Real Person Fang Zhu'.

Behind the old man were the pair of child servants.

They were each holding a silver plate in their hands, following behind the slovenly old man. As soon as the slovenly old man spat out a watermelon seed, they would nervously follow up and catch the watermelon seed with the silver plate.

The slovenly old man flew to Chen Tian's side, circled around him once, and then nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Alright, you have passed this old man's assessment. I can count you as one."

"Uh?" Chen Tian was even more surprised after hearing the old man's words.

Test?

Passed the assessment?

What is all this about?

Of course, Chen Tian wouldn't be muddled in the dark just like that, so he cupped his fists and opened his mouth in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "May I ask the two seniors to explain to this junior, what exactly is happening?"

"This old man isn't very good at talking. Junior Sister Fang Qiong, you should explain it." After circling around Chen Tian once, the slovenly old man left with his wine and watermelon.

Fairy Fang Qiong shook her head slightly upon seeing this, and then explained to Chen Tian, "Actually, it's like this, my senior brother wants to go to a place, but that place is too dangerous. It is necessary to have multiple people helping each other to ensure safety. Therefore, Senior Brother is searching everywhere for talents to form a team. The matter just now was a test for you. It is gratifying that you have passed the assessment of me and Senior Brother, and he has decided to formally absorb you into the team."

"Huh?" Hearing Fairy Fang Qiong's words, Chen Tian really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How did it suddenly start with a test?

However…

Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something, turned his head and glanced at the corpses of Lu Yonghao and Long Zaitian floating on the sea surface. The smile on his face gradually faded, becoming incomparably solemn.

To actually use a聚灵期 (Gathering Spirit Realm) cultivator and an引灵期 (Guiding Spirit Realm) cultivator to conduct a test, isn't such a scale a bit too large?

Furthermore, behind this Lu Yonghao stands a Xuanqing Sect, but looking at the appearance of these two people, it is clear that they don't put the Xuanqing Sect in their eyes at all. Isn't this also too strange?

Chen Tian's gaze flickered rapidly, and he began to think about the implied meaning within.

First of all, what can be confirmed is that the place the slovenly old man wants to go to is definitely not an ordinary place, but an extremely dangerous place.

Secondly, through this test, it can be found that the talents he wants to find must all be extraordinary.

After understanding these two points, Chen Tian's expression couldn't help but become solemn, and he spoke again, "May this junior first ask, where exactly does senior want to go?"
