: The second update of the point will be updated, please support me!!

Ling Xiao looked around at the forty-eight people, almost all between thirty-five and forty-five years old, and only five were under thirty years old, and overall they seemed a little aged.

This is already a master who has gathered half of the mercenaries and adventurers in Meteorite City.

"You all want to follow me, you all want to become stronger, you all want to become a spiritual master like a single eagle and a cold snake?" Ling Xiao asked lightly.

"Yes, Master Ling" forty-eight people responded in unison.

"Then tell me, what reason do I have to accept you?" Ling Xiao asked.

Forty-eight people looked at each other, and immediately a forty-year-old high-level Xuanshi stepped forward and said, "Master Ling, I can help you kill someone. As long as Master Ling wants to kill anyone, even if I fight my life, I will kill the other party."

"What's your name, uncle?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Return to Master Ling, my name is Canto," the middle-aged man replied.

"Kanto, do you think you are more powerful than Duying?" Ling Xiao asked back.

"This..." Canto was so speechless when asked. He could kill people, and Duying could also kill people, and Duying was much stronger than him. Why did he want him to do it?

"Master Ling, I can do anything for you, as long as you are willing to accept me as a servant," said a thin low-level Xuanshi aloud.

"Okay, then you can kill yourself and see in front of me." Ling Xiao nodded and said.

As soon as these words were said, the low-level Xuanshi retreated guiltily and did not dare to say more. It is right that he wants to become stronger, but how can he become stronger if he has no life?

For a moment, everyone was so stunned that they couldn't speak. They all felt that Master Ling was clearly making things difficult for them.

At this time, a crisp voice sounded, "I can die for Master Ling."

What came out was a woman with a disheveled face. Her voice was crisp and pleasant, and her figure was graceful, but her face was covered by her beautiful hair, so she couldn't see clearly.

"Can you really die for me?" Ling asked with a smile and narrowed his eyes at the woman.

"Yes, Master Ling" the woman responded without saying nonsense, pulled out the cold blade she carried with her, and wiped it towards her neck without hesitation.

"Enough!" Seeing that the cold blade was about to touch her neck, Ling Xiao stopped him and shouted.

Although Ling Xiao spoke in time, the cold blade still scratched her neck and a few traces of blood flowed out. It is undeniable that if Ling Xiao called him a little later, she might have died in front of Ling Xiao.

"Come here," Ling Xiao waved to her and said.

The woman put away the cold blade and passed by Ling Xiao.

"Raise your face up" Ling Xiao ordered.

The woman's body trembled slightly, and she would have to raise her head.

Ling Xiao spread her hair covering her face, and several hideous scars appeared in front of her.

The woman's face was scratched by more than a dozen times, and her whole face was as ferocious as a grimace, but her eyes were still clear and moving.

Ling Xiao took a breath and asked lightly, "What's your name?"

"Others call me Gui Sanniang," the woman responded.

At this time, the mercenaries and adventurers next to them changed their faces. Obviously, they all knew the title of Gui Sanniang.

"You stay," Ling Xiao put down her hair and said lightly.

"Master Xie Ling" the woman knelt down and thanked.

Then, Ling Xiao asked these mercenaries and adventurers with strange questions, and finally picked out seven people with strong willpower and good potential to stay, and no one of the others was left.

These mercenaries and adventurers may be a good force in Meteorite City, but their qualifications are limited, so they can only serve as a guard for the Ling family if they stay.

Now there is a Supreme Elder in the Ling family. In the past two hundred years, no one dares to provoke the Ling family's Yan Wei, so Ling Xiao doesn't have to raise these people with little potential.

The reason why he picked eight more people was to make plans for his future. After all, his eyesight was not limited to Meteorite City. Xuanling Continent was vast and there were many strong people. Meteorite City was just the most backward and remote town. When he went to the mainland in the future, he must have a group of loyal assistants.

Therefore, the eight people in front of you will become Ling Xiao’s right-hand man in the future.

"In another three days, I will go to Zitian Sect to run for the outer disciples. I will let you stay now. I will not be able to give you any benefits in a short period of time, but I will give you three years to consider whether you must follow me. In the past three years, you will serve as a guard in the Ling family and practice more in your spare time. If you can still stay in the Ling family after I return in three years, then what you want will definitely get what you want," Ling Xiao said to the eight people in front of him.

"We swear to follow Master Ling to the death." The eight people knelt down on one knee and sweared.

"Okay, you will never regret this choice in the future." Ling Xiao smiled with satisfaction.

The eight people in front of them didn't know that they chose to follow Ling Xiao, so that they would become the eight powerful war generals around Ling Xiao in the future, and would be famous in Xuanling Continent.

Ling Xiao ordered Duying and Leng Snake to temporarily lead the eight of them and let them act as nurses in their homes first.

In a blink of an eye, another day passed, and in two more days it was time to leave Meteorite City.

Ling Xiao came to the place where the Supreme Elder of the Back Mountain practiced.

Now the Supreme Elder has regained his old age and advanced to the throne, and his life span has increased greatly, so he no longer guarded the Xuanji Pavilion like before. He also sent a previous elder to guard and spend his time practicing.

"Old man, I wonder what happened if you asked me to come?" Ling Xiao came outside the cave and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, the Supreme Elder walked out of the cave, and his whole body seemed full of energy.

"The day after tomorrow is your day to go to Zitian Sect?" asked the Supreme Elder.

"Yes, old man," Ling Xiao replied.

"Are you reluctant to leave?" asked the Supreme Elder.

"I'm a little reluctant, but I want to leave even more," Ling Xiao replied firmly.

"Okay... I want to leave even more," the Supreme Elder patted Ling Xiao's shoulder and smiled, and then he said, "Since you can practice mysterious power again, I feel that your mind has become more tenacious, so I chose to let you be my successor. But I didn't expect that Tianbin would be so amazing. It seems that Meteorite City can no longer trap you, the dragon."

"Of course, I don't look at whose disciple I am," Ling Xiao said flatteredly.

"Little Jackie, today I asked you to tell you something about Zitian Sect and listen carefully to me. This will be good for your future." The Supreme Elder cursed lightly.

Ling Xiao immediately became serious. He really didn't know anything about any sect.

"First of all, let me tell you about the division of sects. In our continent, it is divided into 1 to 9th grade sects. The lowest level is, and the higher the level, the stronger the strength, the greater the reaching 5th grade or above, the higher the level, the super sects are, and the division of each major sect has its own definition. There are three ** sects in the northwest of our country, among which Zitian Sect ranks eighth among the 36 sects and is very powerful. It is said that there are countless Xuanshi in the Zitian Sect, and spiritual masters can be seen everywhere, and there are several king-level strong men sitting in the formation." The Supreme Elder said lightly.

After hearing the words of the Supreme Elder, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a little upset.

He never expected that Zitian Sect was so big that it had several king-level powerful men in the formation.

You should know that reaching the Xuanshi level in Meteorite City is already considered a master, and the spiritual master level is already the top strength. If the Supreme Elder did not break through by luck, I am afraid that there is no strong man in Meteorite City yet.

No wonder the masters and elders of the family competition were so respectful to the two deacons of the Zitian Sect. This is really a big deal!

What a royal powerhouse exists? As long as they send one person to Meteorite City, they can massacre all families in Meteorite City.

"The Zitian Sect has been established for more than two thousand years. Our Meteorite City is under the jurisdiction of the Zitian Sect. As early as before, they would send people to Meteorite City every once in a while to select the younger generation of elites to run for the quota of outer disciples. However, every time the people selected by Meteorite City fail to pass the outer disciple test. Over time, Zitian Sect gave up going to Meteorite City to select outer disciples. But I don't know why Zitian Sect appeared again this time, which is really puzzling," said the Supreme Elder.

"So that's it." Ling Xiao suddenly realized. He thought this time must be the opportunity Yun Mengqi had won for him.

"Don't worry, Mengqi, you will be mine sooner or later." Ling Xiao realized Yun Mengqi's painstaking efforts and thought in his heart.

"No matter what, it is a good thing that Zitian Sect can come to Meteorite City to select disciples. This time it depends on whether you can pass the election and set a precedent for our Meteorite City." The Supreme Elder said expectantly.

"That's natural. I will definitely pass it smoothly if it's difficult for me to have a mere outer disciple." Ling Xiao said confidently.

"I also believe that you can do it. Even if your martial arts power is not good, your identity as an alchemist is enough to make Zitian Sect a guest of honor." The Supreme Elder praised, and then he said, "Now that internal and external troubles have been eliminated, it is time for me to travel around to see if I have the ability to go further in this life."

"The old man is getting stronger, of course there is no problem," Ling Xiao said.

"To be honest, if it weren't for your drop of Milk of Ten Thousand Years of Tree Milk, I would have gone to see the King of Hell. In fact, when I was young, I had many hidden diseases in my body to practice the Five Variety of Vajra and rush around. This is also the reason why I have never been able to break through. Fortunately, I chose you as a little guy when my life is approaching. You are destined to be the lucky star of my destiny and also the lucky star of our Ling family!" The Supreme Elder said with emotion.

Indeed, if it weren't for Ling Xiao's Milk of Ten Thousand Years Tree, he would have died long ago. He has always been glad in his heart that he had chosen such a good successor.

The cheeky Ling Xiao felt a little embarrassed when he was praised by the Supreme Elder.

He opposed it in his heart and thought, "I am the lucky star of many beauties!"

After talking with the Supreme Elder for half a day, Ling Xiao went to see his grandfather Ling Cang again, so naturally he couldn't help but nag.

This made Ling Xiao grateful to both the old men. He would never forget his roots when he became stronger in the future.

The next time we agreed with the deacon of Zitian Sect is here.
