After the loud and direct Cao Xi left, the Xie Clan instantly became peaceful and quiet again. However, everyone in the clan — from the housewives to the children, and from the old servants to the elders — tiptoed around in a cautious manner, afraid that they would disturb Xie Shi as he rested.
For the past few days, everyone in the Xie Clan felt as if they were living in a dream. An old ancestor who had his name recorded in the Jiaxu genealogy book of the clan had suddenly appeared in front of them. This was an old ancestor who had lived for heaven knows how many years.
Among everyone in the clan, perhaps only the young boy with long eyebrows was able to remain relatively calm and composed.

When recruiting and teaching disciples, cultivators from the mountains placed heavy emphasis on the cultivation of one's mind. This was especially the case for Daoist terrestrial immortals. One's mind wasn't something that could be easily understood in a few years, and it was often the case that cultivators would travel around the world for dozens of years before being able to find a satisfactory disciple to whom they could pass their true teachings.
During these dozens of years, many cultivators would give their disciples all kinds of trials and examinations — wealth, perilous hardships, romance, and all varieties...
