The three of them were extremely anxious. They did not care about the astonished gazes of the other customers in the restaurant and hurriedly paid the bill. Then, they pulled the big guy with a horned beard out of the restaurant and left in a hurry.

At a table near the window in the restaurant, after listening to the discussion of the four just now, Sang Yiting's kind personality started to act up again. She said to Yi Yan somewhat unwillingly, "Sigh, that General Si Bailing is actually quite pitiful too.

Yi Yan was also interested in this fellow. For an illusory legend, he actually went and kneeled in front of every famous mountain and river. This kind of perseverance was not something an ordinary person could possess.

Therefore, after hearing Sang Yiting's words, Yi Yan smiled slightly, and said: "This little fellow is indeed quite unfortunate, but I value his perseverance more. In any case, I'm not in a rush to return, so it's better for me to go meet this little fellow.

Sang Yiting nodded in agreement.

Yi Yan's immortal sense spread out, covering the entire planet.

Under his deliberate search, he soon saw a lonely figure at the foot of a boundless mountain.

After releasing his true essence to wrap around Sang Yiting, Yi Yan teleported to the top of the mountain range.

Sang Yiting immediately released her spirit sense to search for the pitiful Great General Si.

The people at the foot of the mountain were very young, and the fur on their lips had yet to completely fade. They looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.

However, her delicate and pretty face was filled with resolution, and her clear eyes revealed a vicissitudes that were out of proportion to her age.

At this moment, the young man was kneeling on a rocky beach at the foot of the mountain. The knees of his black uniform had been worn out.

Not far from the young man was a basket made from tree branches. The basket was filled to the brim with wild fruits and water. It seemed like this was the young man's daily diet.

Yi Yan and Sang Yiting floated in the air after disappearing, quietly sizing up the young man kneeling on the ground. Now, Yi Yan was becoming more and more interested in this little fellow.

A dozen days later, as if he had already knelt here for a month, the young man propped himself up on the ground with both hands. His blood-stained legs trembled as he climbed up from the rocky beach, picked up his basket, and walked away with difficulty.

Despite the fact that his body was already weak and weak, despite the constant piercing pain from his knees as he raised his leg, and the fact that he couldn't even walk steadily, the young man proudly straightened his back, refusing to let himself stoop down.

It was as if that was the source of his motivation to persevere.

Facing the setting sun, the young man slowly and firmly walked down.

The golden rays of the sun painted his body with a brilliant halo of light. Long shadows trailed behind him, making his back seem even straighter.

From afar, the figure looked desolate and lonely, but very proud.

Sang Yiting's eyes reddened, and she could not bear to look away. She did not dare to look at that back anymore, as she was afraid that she would cry out loud.

But when Yi Yan looked at the young man, the praise in his eyes seemed to become even stronger.

Three years of time had passed while that young man was trudging between the mountains and rivers while kneeling at the foot of the mountain.

Along the way, Yi Yan and Sang Yuting were silently observing this young man called Si Baolin.

Not only did Sang Yiting secretly send out a few batches of ferocious beasts to prevent him from becoming the beast's food, she even secretly placed a few Spirit Fruits in's basket when he was looking for wild fruits to fill her stomach. If not, Si Bailing would have died from the pain long ago.

In these past three years, Si Bailing had already gone through all the famous mountains and rivers in the Da Tong Kingdom. Yi Yan was a bit expectant of what he would do next, and what should he do next?

Unexpectedly, Si Bailing did not choose either of these paths. He once again returned to the mountain he had once knelt to, and once again kneeled down. Furthermore, he had knelt down for three months just on the first mountain.

Yi Yan couldn't help but be a little astonished, as he quietly probed the Immortal Consciousness into Si Bailing's mind. He really wanted to know the reason behind Si Bailing making such a choice that had no effect in his eyes.

A moment later, Yi Yan opened his eyes in understanding. Other than praise, there was also a trace of pity in his eyes when he looked at Si Bailing.

Originally, Si Bailing felt that the reason why the great deity didn't appear to take him in as a disciple was entirely because of his lack of sincerity.

Hence, he made a decision to kowtow to every place he had visited from the beginning and extend the time he could kneel!

If he still could not fulfill his wish, then he would just extend it once more!

If three months wasn't enough, then half a year. If half a year isn't enough, then one year is enough.

As for the two choices that Yi Yan had guessed at, Si Bailing had never even considered them.

He was a proud and aloof man. Since he had dismissed everyone in the manor, there was no reason for him to go back.

At the same time, he also had deep feelings for Da Tong Kingdom. If he went to another country, he would definitely be recruited by his Emperor.

He, Si Bailing, was unable to do something that he had forgotten about. If he rejected, he would definitely be chased down and placed into a dilemma.

Therefore, Si Bailing stubbornly insisted on his opinion, and was determined to achieve his goals within the Da Tong Kingdom.

After Yi Yan told this to Sang Yiting using the Immortal Consciousness, the sentimental her could no longer control her emotions, and she pleaded for Si Bailing: "Big Brother, just help this child, he's too pitiful. There are no cultivators on this planet. If this goes on, he will die! "

At this time, Yi Yan had more or less understood Si Bailing's personality. He immediately nodded, appeared together with Sang Yiting, and landed behind Si Bailing.

After kneeling for three months in Dong Wu Shan, Si Bai Ling was in a very poor state. He tried several times but failed to stand up, and instead fell heavily on the ground.

Suddenly, Si Bailing felt his vision blurred, his entire body was sore, all the bones in his body seemed to have been cracked.

After struggling on the ground for a while, he finally couldn't stand up. He lay on the ground and panted heavily.

Sang Yiting's eyes flashed with a trace of helplessness, and she was about to step forward to help him up.

Yi Yan blocked her, and the Immortal Consciousness said: "Don't go, let him crawl himself. If you can't even overcome this bit of difficulty, then he isn't worthy to be my disciple."

Sang Yiting suddenly stopped in her tracks, and looked at Yi Yan happily. She did not expect his big brother to actually have the thought of taking him in as a disciple.

However, she also had a good impression of this young man called Si Bailing. Not only did she sympathize with his plight, she also admired his strong perseverance.

The reason why Yi Yan wanted to accept Si Bailing was actually because of this kind of thought.

In the cultivation world, cultivators usually took in disciples to examine their aptitude, talent, and comprehension ability.

Talent is very simple, as long as one has an Aurous Core Stage cultivation, it is very easy to tell whether a person is suitable for cultivation, and talent and comprehension ability will have to go through a period of cultivation before they show any difference.

Therefore, most cultivation sects divided their disciples into core disciples and ordinary disciples. Their standard was their cultivation speed and potential.

This was because there were many people with poor aptitudes, who had extraordinarily high comprehension abilities, or who had good aptitudes but had a poor brain, and could only display their abilities after a period of training.

However, other than these three points, what Yi Yan valued the most was a person's will.

As far as he was concerned, the difference in talent was nothing. Within the Cultivation Realm, there were many cultivators with very high and mediocre aptitudes.

Only with strong perseverance and unyielding fighting spirit can one achieve success.

This was the case for Xie Yunlei. The reason why Yi Yan was so satisfied with him and gave him everything, aside from the fact that his talent was outstanding, was also because he knew what he had to do.

Although he was sometimes cynical, he was always trying to achieve his goals.

Now, Yi Yan saw the same characteristics as Xie Yunlei.

Si Bailing's aptitude could only be considered to be barely good, and was obviously weaker than Xie Yunlei's, but his willpower was even more resolute than Xie Yunlei's.

Especially the courage and boldness of someone who, in order to seek immortality, would not hesitate to expend all of his family's wealth, use all of his wealth to cut off his own path of retreat. This made Yi Yan praise him from the bottom of his heart.

Every time he struggled, he would fail again and again. Even Si Bailing himself could not remember just how many times he fell.

On his deathly pale face, beads of beads of sweat constantly dripped, and a layer of the ground beneath his feet had already been wet.

Sang Yiting had already turned her head away. She could not bear to look anymore, she already treated Si Bailing as her own disciple.

Yi Yan, however, remained unmoved, as if he had a heart of stone. Only, his slightly clenched fists revealed that he was as nervous as Mu Yurou.

It was not because he was worried about Si Bailing's life. With Yi Yan there, it would be hard for him to die even if he wanted to.

What Yi Yan was worried about was that he could not rely on his own strength to stand up, if he gave up, the stubborn arrogance in his heart would dissipate, he was afraid that he would never be able to achieve anything in his life.

At that time, Yi Yan would have no choice but to give up on his disciple.

After countless failures, Si Bailing heavily crashed onto the ground. The excessive exhaustion caused golden stars to appear in front of his eyes, and his consciousness had already entered into a semi-unconscious state, and had not recovered for a good while.

Yi Yan's eyes revealed a trace of disappointment as he softly sighed in his heart. Yi Yan took out a Origin Returning Pill from the Storage Ring and walked forward.

Although they were not fated as master and disciple, Yi Yan could not watch Si Bailing die in front of him.

Just as he took two steps forward, Yi Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks, and stared fixedly at Si Bailing's right hand. Just now, a finger had moved with difficulty, which brought hope to Yi Yan's heart once again.

As expected, after that finger, Si Bailing's entire right hand also moved a little. Then, his left hand, and both his arms …

Although his head was lowered, although his body was trembling nonstop, as if a gentle breeze could knock him down, Si Bailing, the teenage boy, when his consciousness was in a semi-coma, used the air in his chest, as well as his own strength, to stand up again!
