Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 135: Discusion about the Quota

Seeing that the situation was optimal, Fu Xian pushed the matter he had considered prior, directly asking, "Elder Di," he asked, implying he wanted the opinion of the Di family elder, not the general, "I wonder, what do you think of the Immortal City?"

Di Tushan raised his eyebrow, not expecting this question.

He didn’t reply right away but considered the deeper meaning behind this question for a moment. After all, Fu Xian could casually comment because he was a citizen of the Immortal City, but he, an outsider, can’t do that.

After a few seconds he replied, "The Immortal City is the greatest rogue-cultivator alliance known in the spirit world’s history. There have been alliances, unions, and so on, but no one has remained for long.

The history of the Immortal City is longer than that of our Nanhu Kingdom, and also longer than that of the Ning Dynasty.

Naturally I think the Immortal City is great!"

"That is indeed the case," Fu Xian nodded, "then I want to ask. Why haven’t any nobles from the Di Family entered the city?

I presume there should be a few from the Nanhu Kingdom, but it doesn’t seem like anyone from the Di Family has entered." He thought about it and knew that if they had anyone in the city, they wouldn’t need to ask the help of Huoling.

Di Tushan smiled wryly when he heard this, "Although we are a sixth-stage family, even we can’t enter the city just because we want to. In fact, in the whole Central Region, less than 1% of the organisations have a member enter the city and still remain a member.

It’s not that we don’t want to, but in the end, the Immortal City is a rogue cultivator force.

The city only recruits rogue cultivators, and the cultivators also only recruit rogue cultivators or those that have separated from any outside force. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

After all, there is always the danger of losing influence."

When he heard this, Fu Xian gained a new understanding of how rare Senior Ruan’s and sister Ziling’s openness was.

But everything was decided already and he had the quotas to invite people.

He became serious and looked around the table –

Besides the Di family, there were several families who had come to celebrate, mostly vassal families.

Since he got Mu Yan as a clone, Fu Xian knew better about the human dao. Together with brother Longbao telling him about the human dao, he knew that every family but their own might be a spy.

"Is it possible to talk in private?" he asked, his eyes looking over to the other people.

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, the general nodded.

"Let’s talk after this banquet."

Fu Xian agreed and continued to chat.

Besides him, Huoling gave him a questioning look but didn’t ask about it.

Time passed and Fu Xian saw the grandeur of a noble family – spiritual treasures and others abounded, everything at least of the third rank.

He ate his plate and felt his spiritual power fill up.

A few hours later, most people left.

Fu Xian went to a different room with the general and Huoling.

When he was about to leave the banquet hall, he saw that Teihun was waiting at the door.

"Fellow daoist Teihun, are you waiting for me? This matter coincidentally is linked together, so why don’t you come with us?"

Teihun looked over and saw that his father was leading Fu Xian away.

Hearing this, he was curious so he walked forward, behind the three.

The way was rather quiet with no words spoken.

Once in the other room, Fu Xian saw that the three directly turned to him.

"Let’s take a seat. This matter can be serious and also casual, no need to be too shocked."

He first looked over to Huoling, a thought passing through their minds – ’Don’t act surprised, just play along.’

Then he turned to Tushan, "As you know, senior, I am a member of a neighbourhood together with sister Huoling.

It’s like this – my eldest senior sister just advanced to the fifth stage, which opened up a few positions in our neighbourhood.

I, as a junior brother, have gotten the quota and mission to invite fellow cultivators into our neighbourhood.

Sister Huoling has mentioned you and I thought about it.

Initially I didn’t think it was suitable, as you said, outside forces, especially those stronger than the neighbourhood, can’t really be invited.

But today I saw fellow daoist Teihun," as he said so, he looked at the scholarly young man next to him.

"Since fellow daoist Teihun has arrived here with a carriage and took a different path than that of senior, I can only assume he has left the family registry of the Di family."

When Tushan heard about the quota, a look of excitement appeared on his face!

Especially when he heard Fu Xian ask about his son, he knew this was the chance for his branch!

"Indeed, Teihun isn’t in the family registry. Or rather, he isn’t in the main family.

In the Di family, only the lineages that had a sixth-stage cultivator, whether alive or passed, are part of the main lineage.

My own lineage isn’t part of the Di family registry.

After reaching the fifth stage, all family members are officially part of the main family. Sometimes, the talented members at the fourth stage may also enter.

But my son, Teihun, who is only at the third stage, is indeed not part of the family."

"Then I can assume that the only connected and responsible elder would be senior?" Fu Xian asked directly.

"This..." although Tushan wanted to answer with yes, he knew that once this matter came out, the family would definitely want to get involved.

"I’ll be direct. If fellow daoist were to stay in the family, I can see him advance to the fourth stage, but the fifth stage... senior knows himself that it will be difficult.

I can’t say for sure that entering the Immortal City will make things easier, but there will definitely be a higher chance.

In our Immortal City, creation artists have always been honoured.

They safely reach the fourth stage with age, and the fifth stage is also possible.

Based on the contributions to the neighbourhood, our neighbourhood leader would even be willing to personally give him an item to advance.

So senior, I’ll be honest.

The path for Teihun to advance up to the fifth stage is clearer in the Immortal City rather than in the martial arts Di family."
