Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1956: Recruiting Disciples Broadly

Although missing Qin Yaorao, in any case, the return of Fang Bai and others this time is a rare reunion for the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace.

Therefore, for several consecutive days, the hundreds of disciples of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace were all full of joy.

Through the recent offensive and defensive battle, Fang Bai discovered that the defense of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace still had many shortcomings, so he continually improved and refined it, making the formation more powerful.

Meanwhile, Xuan Feng Venerable led Wu De and others to mine the newly discovered large Spirit Stone veins, then gradually transferred the mined Spirit Stones to be stored within the body of Qiankun Peak.

In just a few months, the cultivation resources amassed by the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace equated to a century’s accumulation of a top-tier sect.

This was a huge fortune for the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, which had only hundreds of disciples. Just the cultivation resources within the mountain body were enough for their ten years of cultivation needs, not to mention the large Spirit Stone vein that could provide a continuous supply of Spirit Stones.

According to Fang Bai’s expectations, with this large Spirit Stone vein, the hundreds of disciples of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, even those with lower cultivation levels, with his careful guidance and teaching, could advance to the Thunder Tribulation Realm within one or two years.

As for those like Lu Liyu, Xia Chenyu, Su Linglong, Ye Wumei, Ghost Hand, and Xiong Yingxiong, who had innate Spiritual Roots, Fang Bai focused on cultivating them, enabling them to all reach or surpass the fifth level of the Thunder Tribulation Realm within a year.

As for Xuan Feng Venerable, already at the ninth level of the Thunder Tribulation Realm, although Fang Bai explained the Immortal Rank cultivation techniques to him, due to the limitations of his talent and aptitude, he might not achieve a breakthrough in a short time.

However, Xuan Feng Venerable still had at least a century of lifespan, and Fang Bai predicted he might ascend to immortality within sixty years, so he was not in a hurry.

Besides, Fang Bai also focused on teaching the hundreds of disciples of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace to form various large and small formations to enhance their strength and confront powerful opponents.

These formations, both offensive and defensive, ranged from large formations formed by hundreds of people to micro formations partnered by two. Once formed, each one could unleash unimaginable power.

The large formation formed by hundreds of people was called the "Thousand-Armed Buddha Formation," which Fang Bai had created years ago in the Immortal Realm, referencing the Five Hundred Arhat Formation of the Great Thunderclap Monastery in the Western Heavenly Domain.

Currently, the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace conveniently had about five hundred disciples, each with two arms, making a thousand arms in total, perfectly forming such a large formation.

According to Fang Bai’s idea, if all five hundred disciples of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace advanced to Thunder Tribulation experts, the power of their Thousand-Armed Buddha Formation could trap at least ten times their number of Thunder Tribulation experts.

Fang Bai taught the large and small formations to hundreds of disciples and then let them practice on their own. Once the formation practice became proficient, the overall strength of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace would make a qualitative leap, and Fang Bai was filled with expectations.

Previously, when hundreds of thousands of strong intruders invaded the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace and ended up defeated, after this battle, the prestige of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace echoed throughout the entire Western Desolate Continent.

Especially Fang Bai and Xuan Feng Venerable, who were key figures in the battle, playing a crucial role at the last moment that led to a decisive collapse and thus became admired figures of many strong individuals on the Western Desolate Continent.

Consequently, tens of thousands of loose cultivators came attracted by the name, gathering outside Qiankun Mountain, hoping to join the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace.

"Recently, every day, a large number of strong loose cultivators from all over the Western Desolate Continent come to pay respects and wish to join our sect. Let’s discuss whether we should accept them or not?"

That day, upon receiving a report from the Mountain Guarding Disciples, Fang Bai summoned Xuan Feng Venerable and other high-level members of the palace to the Palace Master Hall for discussion.

"I think if we want the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace to become a great and powerful sect of the time, we must not only recruit more disciples but also as many as possible!"

Xuan Feng Venerable stroked his beard and said seriously.

He had traveled through the three thousand great worlds and had seen many top strong sects, often having tens of thousands of disciples, or even more.

Granny Yu strongly agreed with Xuan Feng Venerable’s words and also said, "I agree with the Supreme Elder. A sect with too few disciples cannot become a strong or great sect! For example, in the previous battle, if our Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace had ten thousand disciples, there would have been no need to stay curled up within the Defense Array, and we would have had the strength to fight the opponents!"

Granny Yu had once wandered the three thousand great worlds with Tang Wenrou, and later suffered severe injuries to protect Tang Wenrou.

After meeting Fang Bai and receiving his treatment, not only did her injuries heal, but she also gained from the misfortune, with Fang Bai’s guidance, advancing her cultivation from the fifth level of the Thunder Tribulation to the current sixth level.

Subsequently, Granny Yu, together with Tang Wenrou and others, came to the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace and naturally joined, becoming the second strongest presence after Xuan Feng Venerable, and took on the role of Elder.

Seeing both Xuan Feng Venerable and Granny Yu, two esteemed strong individuals in the palace, approve of recruiting more disciples, the others present had no objections.

"With more disciples in the palace, our cultivation resources might not suffice!"

Wu De scratched his head and said.

Fang Bai said, "If we lack cultivation resources, we will just continue to search. In these vast three thousand great worlds, cultivation resources are abundant!"

Both he and Wu De had a keen sense for cultivation resources, plus the Bixie Immortal Beast within the Five Elements Space Ring; as long as they searched diligently, the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace would not worry about the lack of cultivation resources.

"Since everyone agrees on recruiting wide disciples, then Brother Xuan Feng, please join me at the mountain gate to personally screen them. We will only accept disciples based on two points: those with poor character or ill temperament shall not be accepted; those with too poor aptitudes shall not be accepted!"

After saying this, Fang Bai and Xuan Feng Venerable walked out of the Sect Master Hall side by side.

Granny Yu, Lu Liyu, Xia Chenyu, and other high-level members of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, with nothing to do, followed suit down the mountain.

Before they reached outside the mountain, they saw that there were already over ten thousand gathered on the plaza outside the mountain gate, with more continuously arriving, a spectacle that made them smile.

Those strong loose cultivators wishing to join the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace came from all over the Western Desolate Continent, and some were even strong individuals from other continents. Seeing the crowd surrounding Fang Bai and Xuan Feng Venerable, they guessed the two might be the legendary Fang Bai and Xuan Feng Venerable, who had made their name with a single battle, causing a stir.

"I am Fang Bai, the first Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace; beside me is Xuan Feng Venerable, the current Supreme Elder of the palace."

Fang Bai glanced over the dense crowd ahead and said loudly, "Those who wish to join the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace can line up in front of the Ruyi Stone for a test of cultivation and aptitude, after which the Supreme Elder and I will assess their character and temperament. Those with poor character or ill temperament, please leave."
