Therefore, he must kill all the Crimson Palace-level spirits to prevent them from secretly attacking and prematurely killing those talented young cultivators who excel in the competition.

'One of them...'

'Oh, this one too?'

Song Yan muttered as he drank.

The differentiation of the aura went smoothly.

Among the sixteen Crimson Palace cultivators of the Mo Sword Sect, surprisingly, three were spirits; two at the Early Stage Crimson Palace and one at the Middle Stage.

He identified them but didn't rush to act, quietly seeking opportunities to plant a Divine Soul tracking aura before returning to the cave mansion.

...

...

The next morning...

The Outer Sect Steward of Mo Sword Sect led a young maiden to the stone gate, knocking respectfully.

As the stone gate rumbled open, Song Yan walked out yawning, and the steward hurriedly said, "Brother Song, see if this maidservant is suitable?"

Then, the steward hurriedly handed over a dossier, which recorded the maiden's family background, origins, even what her parents did, and detailed family assets.

Song Yan didn't even look at it, pushing it back with a wave of his hand, and glanced at the maiden.

She had a sweet appearance, clothed in snow-white attire, with a fluffy fox tail wrapped around the collar, enhancing her snow-white, pinkish face.

Her small face quietly lifted at his gaze, but upon realizing the cultivator was a young man, she secretly felt relieved...

"Immortal Sect Maid" holds no status in the Immortal Sect but can bring great benefit to the family in the mortal world.

However...the immortals recruiting maids are not necessarily young; many are middle-aged or even...old men.

If an old man, there wouldn't be much choice; but how can they compare to young ones?

"Zuo Yuzhu greets the Immortal,"

The maiden gracefully bowed.

Song Yan looked at her and said, "Follow me from now on. If I can go to the Northern Land through the Hidden Dragon Association, you will accompany me."

The maiden named Zuo Yuzhu didn't know what "Hidden Dragon Association" was, but it seemed a great opportunity, making her even more delighted, "I am willing to follow the Immortal."

Song Yan took out a handful of Little Profound Jade Beans and tossed them to the steward, saying, "Thank you for your effort."

The steward chuckled, "You will surely pass, Brother Song. Everyone knows you are a genius."

Zuo Yuzhu listened with eager ears, her joy growing upon hearing the word "genius."

The next moment, her joy turned into a gasp, as the cultivator suddenly lifted her up and quickly hurried to the depths of the cave mansion.

The stone gate rumbled closed.

The maiden was tossed onto the bed.

Her garment slipped off, revealing a curvy body.

Seeing the Immortal pounce, she diligently complied and started moaning...

...

...

Over the following half month, nearby cultivators of Mo Sword Sect learned that "Song Han" had recruited another maidservant. Meanwhile, Song Yan, under the guise of "going out to train," followed the Ancient Race's flying palanquin, identifying the spirits in the other four sects similarly.

Timing it right, he returned to the sect.

The Hidden Dragon Association was underway.

On the performance stage, contestants took turns.

Refining Profound cultivators stepped up one after another in the duel.

Various profound artifacts displayed dazzling brilliance!

Song Yan was watching when he suddenly felt someone looking at him. Glancing back, he saw a young cultivator in a brocade robe.

The cultivator was similar in build and coldly smiled at him, then arrogantly raised his head, showing extreme disdain.

Song Yan searched his memory to see if there was any grudge between him and the cultivator.

Upon finding it, he was speechless.

This cultivator named Dongfang Sheng was a typical "second-generation Immortal genius," who had little regard for "talents born in poverty" like him. The difference in status, along with being fellow talents naturally sparked some minor conflicts.

As Song Yan pondered, his name was already called on the other side of the stage.

The other name was Dongfang Sheng.

Both stepped onto the stage.

Dongfang Sheng sneered, "Ants should know their place. If you stayed in your hole, I wouldn't care. But if you stand in my way, prepare to be humiliated."

Song Yan coldly retorted, "Not necessarily."

Then the two unleashed their flying swords, swiftly engaging in battle.

After a long fierce fight, one mistake, along with Dongfang Sheng suddenly pulling out a bell-shaped treasure, caused Song Yan's flying sword to fall.

Seizing the opportunity, Dongfang Sheng, holding the bell-shaped treasure, fiercely activated it.

Dong~~~

A dull sound wave rapidly approached, striking Song Yan.

The protective aura shattered, sending the youth flying backward, lying among the crowd spitting blood, unable to get up.

Dongfang Sheng gave him a faint smile, then bowed towards the Ancient Race observers above.

High above...

Tang Yi sat at the top, nodding lightly at Dongfang Sheng's victory, commenting, "Not bad."

The Immortal Mother of Apricot watched speechlessly as her master lay in the dust, unable to stand.

She had expected to see her master triumphantly beat opponents today, so she could immediately hint to her son that she fancied this youth upon receiving orders, naturally integrating him beside them and bringing him back once her son secluded himself for training; then she could fully assist the master's recovery...thus securing her and her son's position.

Instead, she witnessed this scene...

The deeper meaning here was beyond her comprehension...

But she knew her master would not act in vain.

Elsewhere, a Demon Monk's Purple Mansion servant in the crowd discreetly removed "Song Han" from the "Hidden Dragon Association winners" list.

No matter how promising his victory was before, now...he lost, ensuring he could no longer be that formidable elder.
