Chapter 41: Personal Disciple

Shen Qingyi did not expect that after her previous hope had just been extinguished, a new opportunity now arrived.

Becoming a disciple under a Nascent Soul True Monarch of one of the Daoist Faction’s Five Great Sects was the best possible outcome for her at this moment.

Even though this person was very famous in the Cultivation World.

In a moment of excitement, she quickly nodded in agreement.

“Your disciple is willing!”

By the time She Zijiang led Shen Qingyi into Luohong Hall on Tianshui Peak, she was still somewhat dazed.

Seeing this, She Zijiang found it a little amusing.

But then he thought of his own appearance when he first entered the Sect, and he held back his laughter.

After all, a girl’s face was naturally a bit thinner.

“What’s wrong? Still not fully back to your senses?”

Shen Qingyi was pulled back from her thoughts by She Zijiang’s voice.

“This disciple… this disciple…”

She Zijiang reached out and gently patted Shen Qingyi’s head.

“Here on Tianshui Peak, although we are Master and disciple, you don’t need to worry about those formal courtesies. Just treat me as a Senior from your family.”

But as soon as the words left his mouth, She Zijiang remembered the Jade Slip he had seen, the one detailing Shen Qingyi’s circumstances.

Now that this pitiful little girl had become his disciple, the tenderness in his heart inevitably grew a bit more.

Before he could offer any words of comfort, however, Shen Qingyi had already nodded.

Her eyes held no trace of distress, which finally allowed She Zijiang to relax a little inside.

Although there were too many unfortunate people in the Cultivation World, and many had their lives ruined by childhood experiences, if Shen Qingyi could be free of a dark past, her future cultivation would at least be easier regarding the Inner Demon.

“After a full day today, you must be tired, Qingyi. The Jingzhe Courtyard beside Luohong Hall will be your Cave Abode for cultivation and rest within the Sect. Your several Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters live there as well. You can choose a Cave Abode that suits your liking there. If there is anything unsatisfactory, you can also ask your Senior Brothers or Sisters to help make modifications. Of course, you could also go to the External Affairs Hall to find the manager.”

“As you are now a Personal Disciple of Tianshui Peak, you have that right. Naturally, once your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will also need to complete certain Sect missions.”

“These are all recorded in the Jade Slips issued by the Sect. Later, after you select your Cave Abode, place a drop of your blood on the Formation Array outside the abode. That will activate it. From then on, no one except you can enter that Cave Abode without your permission. Of course, in the Cultivation World, this excludes those with significantly higher strength.”

“However, you can rest assured. That Formation Array can withstand three strikes from a high-stage Golden Core Stage Cultivator. On the Yunze Continent, Golden Core Stage cultivators are not common weeds.”

Moreover, within the Sect, anyone above Golden Core was almost always a notable figure.

“And our Tianshui Peak also has a protective peak Formation Array, capable of withstanding three Nascent Soul strikes.”

She Zijiang led Shen Qingyi towards the Jingzhe Courtyard, carefully explaining things along the way.

Many of these matters actually didn’t require She Zijiang’s detailed explanation, as they were almost common knowledge in the Cultivation World. Even ordinary mortals without Spiritual Power could inquire about them.

But thinking of his disciple’s past nine years, She Zijiang patiently explained each point.

“After you bind with that Formation Array, a light will activate at the External Affairs Hall. Then, a designated disciple will deliver the Sect-issued robes, some Sect records, and the Jade Slip I just mentioned.”

“There’s no need to rush. You have just entered the Sect. The adaptation period the Sect grants you is half a month. During these fifteen days, you can learn the basic knowledge and common sense bit by bit.”
