The old man insisted on kneeling down. Guo Xingyue hurriedly said, "I really am not an immortal. I am Guo Xingyue. I lived on a small oasis called Tamo since I was young and learned some skills from the old people in the village. This time I came out to make a living in a big city." (The place name Tamo was obtained by Guo Xingyue from the mind of the white-clothed bandit. It is the name of the most remote small oasis. There was indeed a small village there, but it was all massacred by these Whirlwind Bandits.) A burly strong man on the side interrupted and said, "Father, why would those immortals care about our lives? This White Whirlwind has committed many evils. When have you ever seen an immortal take action to eliminate harm?"
The big man stepped forward, covered his chest with one hand and saluted, saying, "I am Mo Yang. Thank you, Brother Guo, for saving us." Guo Xingyue also imitated the big man's etiquette and replied, "Seeing injustice, draw one's sword to help. It's not a big deal." The big man laughed heartily and said, "Seeing injustice, draw one's sword to help. Well said! I, Mo Yang, make you my friend!" The people in the caravan around also came forward one after another to salute and introduce themselves. Guo Xingyue got to know everyone one by one. The leader of this caravan is Mo Yang's father, named Mo He. He is sixty years old. This was supposed to be his last time leading a caravan to transport goods. Unexpectedly, the White Whirlwind, which never appears in this desert, would show up here. If it weren't for Guo Xingyue's rescue, the caravan would surely be completely wiped out. At present, everyone cleaned up the battlefield and then drove the camel-like beasts towards the oasis. Guo Xingyue also sat on the camel-like beast and chatted casually with Mo He.
Mo He was always respectful to Guo Xingyue and answered every question. Perhaps in his heart, he didn't believe that Guo Xingyue was just a country person. He had traveled far and wide all his life and had been to many places. He could be considered well-informed. He had even seen immortals several times. But he had never seen a mortal with such high skills. He himself was also a martial artist. Just that he was old and couldn't wield a knife anymore, but his eyesight was still there. The martial arts used by Guo Xingyue were extremely powerful, but Mo He had never heard of them. In his opinion, Guo Xingyue could only be an immortal. Perhaps he was tired of the life in the immortal world (the high mountain where the three sects on Giant Horn Star are located is regarded as the immortal world by mortals) and came to the mortal world to roam freely. Moreover, in this desert, besides bandits, there are also various magical beasts. If not an immortal, who would dare to cross the desert alone?
Guo Xingyue was originally a killer. Of course, he was well aware of the flaws he had exposed. Seeing Mo He's attitude towards him, he knew that this old man was very shrewd. His identity as a cultivator was most likely impossible to hide from him. But he didn't care. He just casually asked about some situations on the oasis. Guo Xingyue had learned from the information in the minds of the white-clothed bandits that the oasis ahead was called Wangyuan Continent. It was the largest oasis on the entire continent, with an area of several million square miles. There were five major countries and dozens of small countries on it. There were often wars between countries. The largest city on this Wangyuan Continent was called Ganlu City. It was a free city located at the foot of the "immortal mountain". It did not belong to any country and was only under the jurisdiction of the "immortals". It was a distribution center for merchants from various countries. Guo Xingyue learned from Mo He that the "immortals" would accept disciples in Ganlu City every ten years. All boys aged five to fifteen could participate in the selection. If they were selected, they could cultivate immortality. Just that the "immortals" were very strict in accepting disciples. Very few people were selected each time. Sometimes there wasn't even one. But if someone was selected, his family could immediately move into Ganlu City and be protected by the "immortals", and then they would have no worries about food and clothing. Whenever it was time for the "immortals" to accept disciples, those who had children of the right age at home would find ways to rush to Ganlu City. Besides transporting goods, the main purpose of Mo He and his group was to take his several grandsons and some children of other relatives and friends to participate in the selection.
Guo Xingyue casually answered while secretly thinking in his heart: The three sects on Giant Horn Star are really not simple. They actually came up with such a good way to accept disciples. Well, I don't know which of the three sects is on this Wangyuan Continent. Since I can't blatantly attack them, this time when they accept disciples is a good opportunity. Those who come to accept disciples will definitely not be the masters of the sect. At most, they are people at the Out-of-Body stage. With my current cultivation, it should be no problem to catch a single Nascent Soul stage cultivator by surprise.
The two suns in the sky had both tilted to the west. It was about to get dark. The speed of the caravan naturally couldn't compare with Guo Xingyue's speed. According to the speed of the camel-like beasts, it would take at least five days to reach the edge of the oasis. The caravan stopped at the back of a large sand dune and prepared to set up camp. Guo Xingyue originally planned to help, but Mo He firmly disagreed, saying that he didn't dare to trouble the benefactor for such a small matter. Under helplessness, Guo Xingyue walked to the side of the sand dune and sat down to watch the people in the caravan busy.
Not long after Guo Xingyue sat down, Mo He led more than a dozen children of different ages over. Mo He said to the children, "Children. This is our benefactor. Come forward quickly and thank the benefactor for saving our lives." All these children covered their chests with both hands and knelt down, saying, "Thank you, benefactor, for saving us." Guo Xingyue quickly stepped forward and helped up the several children in front and said, "It's just a small matter. It doesn't deserve such a big ceremony. Everyone stand up quickly!" Among the children, there was a tall boy who looked somewhat similar to Mo Yang. Looking at Guo Xingyue, he said, "Uncle, you are so powerful. You defeated the White Whirlwind all by yourself. Can you teach us?"
Guo Xingyue pondered for a moment and before he could speak, Mo He who was standing aside said, "Mo Xin. How can you casually make such a request." Then he said to Guo Xingyue, "My child is speaking without proper restraint. Please don't take it to heart, benefactor."
Guo Xingyue's ability to observe people's expressions and understand their intentions had long been perfected. As soon as he heard it, he understood that Mo He hoped he could accept these children as disciples. Guo Xingyue had just scanned with his spiritual sense and found that none of these children had spiritual meridians and were not suitable for cultivating immortality. Although they could cultivate immortality through the transformation of the Foundation Establishment Pill, which Guo Xingyue had also refined some and brought with him, those without spiritual meridians and relying only on the Foundation Establishment Pill to transform their physiques would have limited achievements in the future. The possibility of passing the great tribulation was almost zero.
Cultivating immortality was a dangerous thing. If one was not careful, one would go astray and be destroyed. There would be no chance of reincarnation. Guo Xingyue didn't want to mislead others. Secondly, he didn't have the intention to accept disciples at present. Therefore, he didn't plan to teach them to cultivate immortality. But looking at the eager eyes of the children and the pleading eyes of Mo He, Guo Xingyue didn't know how to refuse for a moment.
Guo Xingyue thought: I can't teach them to cultivate immortality, but it's okay to teach them some martial arts from Pangu Star. So he said, "I can teach you some things. As for how much you can master, it depends on yourselves." All the children hurriedly knelt down and called him master. Guo Xingyue stepped aside and said, "I can only teach you. I can't be your master. You'd better call me uncle." All the children knelt on the ground and looked at Mo He. Seeing that things had come to this point, Mo He thought: As long as you are willing to teach, it doesn't matter whether you are called master or not. He quickly said, "As the benefactor wishes. Everyone quickly thank the benefactor for passing on skills."
