Chapter 887: Second Apprenticeship

urst."Well, my uncle said the same thing, so he hasn't been to the institute lately. He's been at home, keeping an eye on my older brother all the time, and sent me here to school, saying I couldn't h...After Lian Yi finished her set of punches, Qiao Laozu's eyes lit up. This was a good prospect for cultivating his body, and he immediately said with a smile:

"Ripple girl, would you like to become my disciple and cultivate under my guidance"

Although he phrased it this way, he wasn't worried at all that his younger generations would refuse. With a powerful Celestial Immortal as their master, they wouldn't even be able to beg for it.

R ripples smiled and bowed slightly, then asked hesitantly:

"Ancestor, if I were to become your disciple and cultivate my body, would I also become as strong as you in the end"

The ripples were intentionally asked, after all, the original body was only sixteen years old, naturally more concerned about her beauty and graceful figure. Asking like this is normal.

"Haha, the little girl is still worried that practicing body refinement will make her look bad!"

Qiao Wanhai smiled heartily, after all, it's normal for a little girl to be worried like this.

"Body refinement seeks the ultimate of the physical form. When cultivated to the highest level, it allows you to change your physique at will, whether slender, muscular, or lean, depending on your preference."

Joe Wanhai immediately started painting a rosy picture, determined to bring this promising member of the family into his own fold.

Then ripples smiled, then knelt down solemnly and performed a kowtow to show her willingness to become the ancestor's disciple.

Joe Wanhai smiled, immediately giving Lianyi a storage bracelet as a gift of apprenticeship. Then, he revealed the formulas for Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stage body refinement elixirs to her on the spot.

"The spiritual plants, herbs and beast pills needed for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment body tempering elixirs are relatively easy to collect. You can find them yourself in the Trial Valley at the back mountain of the sect. As for a body cultivation method suitable for you, I'll have to find one for you. I took the path of vigorous entry myself, which isn't very suitable for someone like you."

Joe Ancestor knew in his heart that he wouldn't stay in the cultivation world for more than a hundred years. During this time, either someone in the family would break through to the Nascent Soul stage, or he himself would cultivate a successor well. Otherwise, once he ascended to the Spirit Realm, there would inevitably be turmoil on the family side.

Especially since Qiao Qianshan is still the head of Wuyun Zong, the relationships within the sect are intricate and complex. It's not that the Qiao family alone has dominance; rather, they are relatively low-key and avoid causing trouble among their disciples. After much back and forth between various factions, Qiao Qianshan was able to ascend to the position of headmaster. It can be said that it was a temporary solution.

Luckily, with this Transcended Deity ancestor watching over them, no one dared to trip up Qiao Qianshan. Thus, Qianshan remained steadily seated in the position of Sect Master.

If he had ascended, the situation would be different. So he has been looking for disciples a long time ago. However, as the Wuyun Sect primarily focuses on cultivating through methods, he hasn't encountered any disciples who truly resonated with him. His own juniors have given him an unexpected surprise though. Sometimes, accepting disciples really depends on fate.

Lian Yi immediately bowed and thanked him. Her ancestor would definitely not betray her, so Lian Yi pondered for a moment. The longevity fruit tree that the original owner had found in that dangerous place last time was best brought to show respect to her ancestor.

"Master, these spirit plants are all level one or two. I can find them myself."

Ripple said confidently.

"Well, since I've taken you on as my apprentice, I should hold a ceremony to let the old folks in the mountains know. It's also a good opportunity to get some gifts for you. They certainly didn't spare me when they took apprentices."

Joe Wan sighed with some resentment.

Lan Ri, hearing this, pursed her lips into a smile and then said solemnly:

"Master, as for entering your sect, only a few ancestors in the sect need to know. My father will naturally be informed too. It's enough to pass word within the family; there's no need to make a big announcement. I think it's better to keep a low profile."

Joe Wan Hai listened, raised an eyebrow, and saw that Lin Ri's face was serene. He then said:

"Okay, if you think there's no problem."

After finishing his speech, he opened the restrictions on his cave abode, carrying ripples with him to receive the gifts.

On the other side, Du Le also had established her foundation. She wanted to take a sect mission first and leave for a while. Whether she would come back depended on whether Yun Ru Bin would leave Si Gu Cliff in five years.

Du Le led went to the Administration Hall first, exchanged his identity card for the Foundation Establishment stage, and then received the rewards for the Foundation Establishment stage. A storage bag with a volume of thirty cubic meters, containing two hundred low-grade spirit stones, a low-grade flying sword, a bottle of Consuming Pills, and a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills, all of which were mid-grade.

Du led nodded in satisfaction, then turned and went to the task hall. As a sect disciple, after building a foundation, you must complete three sect tasks every year. If you don't complete them, your sect points will be deducted to offset it.

Of course, cultivators going into seclusion wouldn't be for just a year or two, at least three to five years is the bare minimum. In this kind of situation, you only need to report to the task hall once, and after coming out, you can collect sect missions to catch up on what you've missed.

Of course, if you go out on adventures with a team and achieve good results, handing them over to the sect can also offset your sect missions. After all, the sect provides shelter and support for its disciples' cultivation. When you have achieved success in your cultivation, it is natural to give back. This way, a virtuous cycle can be formed. Otherwise, if everyone only wants to take without giving, even the largest sect cannot withstand such consumption.

After Du led went to the task hall and looked for a long time, he found that there weren't many tasks that required leaving the sect, and most of them required teamwork. There were almost no individual tasks.

She is now at the early stage of foundation building, so it's not difficult to form a team. However, after looking around, she contacted two squads through communication jade slips initially. Both squads said that they didn't have enough people, but once they learned that she was Du LeLe, the other party politely declined.

"Du Shimei, I'm sorry, when I was contacting you just now, our team captain had already found the members and their cultivation level is at the mid-foundation stage, so..."

"Sister Du, I already have enough people on my side. It's mainly because my younger brother insists on being on the same team as me, and I couldn't refuse."

Both team leads were very diplomatic, but Du led still felt something was off. She couldn't believe it was such a coincidence.

According to someone I asked privately, her reputation among the inner disciples isn't good. Everyone thinks she's a cunning woman. Otherwise, how could two of the Sect Master's disciples have one voluntarily left the sect and wasted his cultivation, while the other is still stuck on Mount Reflection

They wondered if they had the profound cultivation of a core disciple. If they were targeted by such a woman, even those who were considered weak and likely to be exploited wouldn't be left unscathed. Therefore, their goal was to avoid confrontation whenever possible.

On one hand, people are still quite perceptive. Those who were targeted by Du Le'le didn't end up well, it's just that Lian Yi made a big fuss out of it, and more people got involved. Everyone isn't stupid, they can see that the real beneficiary in this whole affair is Du Le'le.

Du Li was furious, but she also knew that it would be difficult to change the opinions of her fellow disciples in a short time. Besides, no True Monarch within Wuyun Sect would take her as an apprentice. She couldn't make any underhanded moves under everyone's watchful eyes. Leaving temporarily was the best choice. Therefore, she quickly chose a solo mission and left the sect.y responsible for the autopsy. These matters are within the purview of the yamen officials. You'll need to ask them for specifics."Worry-free nodded, knowing she had asked the wrong person, and went...
