Chapter 137: Accepting Han Li as a Disciple
Amid the excitement of the crowd, the sun slowly faded away. Zhong Weiniang and Liu Jing hurriedly ran towards Li Huayuan, excitedly telling him everything that had happened before.
Patriarch Linghu flew towards the daytime, his face full of joy.
“May our ancestors appear, and may God bless our Huangfeng Valley! Junior brother has risen up against the will of heaven in the most critical moment, and our sect has once again welcomed the dawn of hope. Hahaha~ Let’s go, junior brother. Let’s go to the main hall and have a detailed discussion. We must hold a grand celebration ceremony so that no one will look down on our Huangfeng Valley!”
Ancestor Linghu said happily.
He extended his hand and invited Bai Tian to enter the hall.
Bai Tian naturally did not refuse. Surrounded by Lei Wanhe, Ning Hai and others, he slowly walked towards the core of Huangfeng Valley.
Han Li, Nie Ying and the Murong brothers looked at each other and followed behind. The four of them had the strength of the peak of the early Jindan stage, so they were naturally the Jindan elders of the sect, and they would definitely participate in such a major event.
"Senior Brother Bai is cultivating so fast. We haven't even reached the middle stage of the Golden Core yet, but you're already in the Nascent Soul stage. Do you think it will be possible..." said Murong Hu, one of the Murong brothers. The other one is the eldest brother, named Murong Long.
The four of them walked behind and whispered to each other.
Nie Ying said:
"Master Bai... Uncle has obtained the Longevity Fruit Tree. I guess the fruits are ripe, so he can cultivate so fast. I won't talk about it now. You will understand everything later."
The group walked towards the main hall.
Bai Tian looked around and found that the number of Jindan elders was much larger than before because of the presence of Han Li and his four companions. Lei Wanhe, Li Huayuan, Hong Fu and others were all there, and two others were on a mission and had not appeared yet. Someone had been sent to notify them, and Bai Tian would be there later.
"Why is there only one chair at the main seat? Add more quickly."
"Brother, since you are not a member of our sect, please sit down first. I will stand and wait for a while." Patriarch Linghu said enthusiastically, and put himself in a humble manner, pulling Bai Tian to sit down first.
Bai Tian naturally would not sit down immediately, but waited for Lei Wanhe to place his chair behind Linghu Patriarch, and then they sat down together. As Bai Tian's nominal master, Lei Wanhe had no problem giving up his chair, which could be considered as helping his apprentice out of trouble.
However, I can no longer call him a disciple, according to the rules of the immortal cultivation world and Huangfeng Valley: the one who achieves success comes first.
He either calls Bai Tian "elder" or "uncle master".
Wait until later, and I will definitely make proper arrangements during the day.
Seven Jindan and two Yuanying sat down in a joyful atmosphere. Bai Tian naturally became the core figure, and all eyes were on him. Lei Wanhe was beaming with joy, while Hong Fu beside him had a complicated expression.
"I heard that Xuan'er liked Bai Tian in the past. Not long ago, she even kidnapped Han Li to inquire about Bai Tian's whereabouts. She was really foresighted and took notice of Bai Tian in advance. Alas, I am not even as good at cultivation as Xuan'er!"
Hongfu admired in her heart.
Not long ago, she heard Han Li say that her daughter was just being unreasonable.
The current situation is so chaotic, he may have already fallen, why is he still obsessed with it? As a result, not long after, the former nephew Bai slapped him in the face, not only did he come back intact, but he also returned to the sect as a Yuanying ancestor. She was narrow-minded.
After everyone was seated, Patriarch Linghu spoke first.
"You have returned at the right time, brother. My time is coming to an end. While I can still do something, I will hand over the Yellow Maple Valley to you. The inheritance cannot be cut off! This is the highest token of the Supreme Ancestor. You can use your free time to practice it. I will mainly assist you in the future."
Without saying anything, Linghu Patriarch handed the highest token of the Yellow Maple Valley to Bai Tian, and said in a low-key manner that he would only assist in the future and would no longer decide major matters. It was another short courtesy, and in the face of Linghu Patriarch's strong request, he had to put it away first. It is speculated that Linghu Patriarch may ask him to take care of some people, otherwise he would not be so self-conscious.
"Hahaha, good! Listen carefully, everyone. From now on, all matters within the sect will be decided by the Grand Elder himself during the day, and no one is allowed to disobey. Did you hear that?"
Patriarch Linghu said with a serious face that this was equivalent to completely handing over power, and from now on, Bai Tian would be the highest decision-maker in Huangfeng Valley.
"As ordered!"
Han Li, Lei Wanhe and others stood up in unison and spoke respectfully to Bai Tian.
Bai Tian gestured for everyone to sit down, and he had already taken over the Yellow Maple Valley. He was calm and composed. There was no excitement or complacency on his face. He was young but not arrogant or impatient, and his emotions were not revealed on his face, which made Li Huayuan and others admire him.
Next, the Grand Elder would naturally say something during the day.
He spoke calmly:
"I am naturally aware of the situation that the sect is facing. I don't think there is any need for a grand celebration. Just invite the six sects to watch the ceremony. You can invite the rest of the guests as you wish. I have a clear plan for the future of Yellow Maple Valley. We can discuss the details later."
"My recent focus is to vigorously train promising disciples. Talent is the key, there is no doubt about that. I plan to recruit Han Li, Nie Ying, and the Murong brothers as my personal disciples and guide them in their cultivation. Don't rush to respond, go back and think about it carefully, and tell me the result after you are sure..."
As Bai Tian slowly told the story, Han Li and the other three were stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed.
Watching the mysterious man defeat Nanlong Hou, they dreamed of having an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage as their master, which would definitely save them a lot of detours. God is really merciful, and whatever you wish for comes true.
A short time passed.
The old monster had no master, but the young monster's master was within reach. As long as he made his statement in three days, he could claim to be a direct disciple of someone's Nascent Soul when he walked around. If anyone wanted to harm him, he had to consider whether he could withstand the wrath of a powerful Nascent Soul.
"Elder Bai, Nie Ying is the first one to agree."
Nie Ying had already used up the two longevity fruits in his hand, and had barely raised his strength to the peak of the early stage of the Golden Core. It would be extremely difficult to improve in the future, and he had to find a new opportunity. Now, Elder Bai showed up and took the initiative to accept him as a disciple, so he naturally did not miss the great opportunity.
The most crucial point.
Nie Ying believed that Bai Tian and them had been through life and death together, and had stolen the longevity fruit between life and death, so they trusted each other and their character was very reliable. With this special experience, Nie Ying believed that Bai Tian would not harm him.
Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to give her two longevity fruits.
Han Li and the Murong brothers were only concerned with picking the fruits for themselves. Only Elder Bai thought of her at the critical moment, otherwise he would have risked his life and made a wasted trip.
"We two brothers are willing too!"
Murong Long and Murong Hu stood up, hoping to become disciples immediately.
Han Li hesitated for a moment, then respectfully expressed his willingness to become Bai Tian's apprentice. The reason why Han Lao Mo was a little hesitant was that he had a big secret, and secondly, his experience in Qixuanmen made him cautious about becoming a disciple.
Han Li indeed thought so.
In the end, he agreed with Nie Ying's idea. Elder Bai was able to keep the secret by keeping his mouth shut. The five of them had gone through life and death together, and no one abandoned anyone at the critical moment. His character was extremely reliable. With such a master who knew him well as a backer, there would be absolutely no problem in the future.
If you change someone else.
After obtaining the treasure, if you reveal the secret to the Demon Flame Sect during the day, you will definitely receive a huge reward.
Take advantage of both ends and sell everything that can be sold.
This is the current real situation in the world of immortal cultivation. However, it is not the case during the day and everyone is living in peace.
"Disciple Han Li is willing too!"
Realizing that Bai Tian was very reliable, Han Li decided to become Bai Tian's apprentice.
The master-disciple relationship between him and Li Huayuan had been automatically terminated when Han Li advanced to the Golden Core stage, but he was still nominally Li Huayuan's disciple. Li Huayuan had almost died due to injuries, and had long since cut off his immortal path and faded out of the sect, taking care of some ordinary things.
"Very good! But becoming my disciple is a big deal. I'll give you three days to think about it carefully."
Bai Tian nodded, showing satisfaction with the four people's reactions.
Then they learned about the specific situation and talked in detail for a day before they dispersed. Lei Wanhe invited Bai Tian to sit in the cave. He naturally did not refuse. After some empty greetings, he sat in the main seat at Lei Wanhe's request.
The youngest and only nominal disciple made great progress. He actually taught a Nascent Soul ancestor. Needless to say, Lei Wanhe was very surprised.
Who will dare to look down on me when I go out in the future?
Just one sentence: "Have you taught a Nascent Soul disciple?" can make the cultivators of the same level speechless and drop their jaws in shock.
Bai Tian thought that Lei Wanhe was very good to him and gave him extremely rare talismans in the world of immortal cultivation, as well as the Thunder Spirit Talisman that he made by himself, so he naturally returned the favor and brought him a gift as well.
"I'm calling you by your name for the last time. From now on you can call me Elder Lei during the day. The sect's rules must not be violated. If you need any help, just tell me." Lei Wanhe said seriously, deciding to change his name.
Act according to ancestral rules.
Bai Tian did not refuse and agreed immediately.
"Elder Lei, during my training outside, I obtained a treasure made from a divine object of heaven and earth. I will give it to you for self-defense. This treasure is most suitable for us Lei cultivators."
Bai Tian said as he slapped his storage bag, took out an exquisite box and placed it in front of Lei Wanhe.
Lei Wanhe, Ning Hai and the other two disciples, hearing about the treasure made of the gods of heaven and earth, stared at the exquisite box with curiosity, wanting to know what was inside? To be praised by the Yuanying ancestor, it must be extraordinary.
What a rare treasure it is!
"Hahaha~ Elder, you are too polite. A treasure refined from the divine objects of heaven and earth? I would like to see it!" Lei Wanhe refused, but his inner surprise was already written on his face.
With curiosity on his face, he opened the box with a click.
In an instant, a golden arrow about seven inches long appeared.
Although the shape of the golden arrow is remarkable, there are occasionally silver arcs of lightning jumping on it, emitting powerful and pure spiritual thunder power, which is very magical.
Even Lei Wanhe has never seen it.
During the day, Lei Wanhe did not take the initiative to introduce himself. He just looked at the golden arrow with his eyes closed and thought.
After a while.
Suddenly he opened his eyes, his face full of horror. He stood up, staring at the golden arrow with wide eyes, his breathing quickened, and his whole body trembled.
He lost his voice and said, "It is said that one of the three great sacred trees, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, refined the Devil-killing Divine Arrow!"
Lei Wanhe cried out in surprise, and a huge wave of emotion surged in his heart. He had never expected to receive a gift of a peerless magic weapon made from the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.
He had heard that the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo's own divine thunder that could ward off evil spirits could have extremely strong destructive power against cultivators of the demon and ghost paths, but the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo had long since become extinct and was considered a legendary treasure.
Unexpectedly, I had great luck during the day and obtained a magical weapon made of a sacred tree during my training.
This time, Lei Wanhe was really stunned.
It feels like a dream.
My former apprentice is so generous!
As for the more advanced Golden Thunder Bamboo, he would not think that he had it during the day. It was an even rarer sacred tree of heaven and earth that could only evolve after ten thousand years. Even the old monsters who had reached the state of transformation might not have seen it.
For a moment, Lei Wanhe stared at the Demon-Killing Arrow motionlessly.
He was breathing heavily and couldn't look away for a long time.
During the day, he gave the demon-killing arrow obtained from the ancient cave to Lei Wanhe.
This was a gift that had been prepared long ago. He already had thirty-nine golden thunder bamboo flying swords and a set of lightning and lightning needles made from golden thunder bamboo. The Demon-killing Arrow was no longer necessary.
It is suitable as a gift.
I originally wanted to give it to Han Lao Mo as a gift, but this guy has the Longevity Fruit Tree in his hand, and if he is brave enough, he can basically exchange it for any treasure. I will find an opportunity to give him the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Root in the future, and Han Li should know how to do it. Of course, I can't give it to him in person, but I have to disguise myself.
Lei Wanhe took out the Demon-Slaying Arrow and admired it in his hand. He thanked it sincerely without any hesitation and put it into his storage bag. As an old monster who had practiced for hundreds of years, he knew that his relationship with his junior brother during the day was over and he had to rely on himself in the future.
What followed was an even more joyful scene, as Ning Hai and the other two also received gifts.
The exquisite elixir purchased from Chaos Star Sea can effectively improve the cultivation of foundation-building disciples and is very suitable for the three of them to take. Especially the once beautiful third sister, now an old woman, was extremely excited to hold the elixir in her hand.
Now, I finally have the opportunity to achieve perfection in foundation building.
I shed tears of joy on the spot.
During the three days, he learned about the war between the Nine Nations Alliance and Mulan Fashi in detail. Lei Wanhe personally found the location and built the cave, which was located on the most dense mountain. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw the unpredictable and beautiful sea of clouds, which was the best place for cultivation after Linghu Patriarch.
Bai Tian was quite satisfied with the cave and could see that Lei Wanhe put a lot of effort into it.
Not only are all the secret rooms fully equipped, but the hall is spacious and beautifully decorated, which is more in line with daytime tastes. The most surprising thing is that a brand new villa has been built outside the cave, which can be used to entertain guests.
The utmost luxury and the best treatment.
When they walked into the brand new and luxurious reception room, Han Li and the other three were already standing respectfully, waiting quietly.
When he saw Bai Tian appear, he immediately saluted with a solemn expression.
Now there were only Bai Tian and the Murong brothers and others, and outside was Hong Fu, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, witnessing the four people's apprenticeship.
"Disciples Han Li, Nie Ying, Murong Long, and Murong Hu, pay their respects to the elder!"
Several people lined up, stood facing the daytime, and gave their names one by one, waiting to formally become his apprentice.
"Ah, very good!"
Bai Tian nodded.
"Have you thought about it? I am accepting you as my personal disciple. Once you are my teacher, you are my father for life. You must not disobey your superiors, betray your teacher and destroy your ancestors, do you understand?"
It’s a bit serious during the day, so let’s make the rules clear first.
Even if you cultivate to the level of a Heavenly Venerable, you still have to call me Master and respect me like your father.
After hearing this, the four of them immediately expressed their opinions.
"Han Li understands!"
"Nie Ying understands."
"Murong Long must respect his teacher!"
"Murong Hu will never bring shame to Master!"
Looking at the four people's firm and sincere statements, Bai Tian felt satisfied.
At this moment, Hong Fu stood up and said with a smile:
"You guys are really lucky. You must remember what I said now and always protect the dignity of the master. Kneel down and pay homage to the master! Then present your gifts."
"Master, please bow to me, my disciple!"
Han Li and others knelt on the ground and paid homage to Bai Tian, kowtowed nine times.
Then they each presented a big gift.
"Very good! From now on, you are my direct disciples. Remember to help each other." Without checking what the gift was for the time being, Bai Tian stood up and thanked Hong Fu.
And gave Hongfu a beautiful box.
The woman opened it with curiosity and found that it was a fifth-level demon beast's inner elixir. She was delighted. She quickly closed the box and kept thanking. She said goodbye and left the courtyard with a smile on her face.
"You all get up."
Sit back down and gestured during the day.
Nie Ying and the others stood up and looked at Bai Tian with respect. They were not nervous at all, but felt friendly standing in front of Bai Tian. What could be more memorable than the friendship of going through life and death together?
"This is a gift from the Master to you."
"Han Li stepped forward."
He stopped talking during the day and started giving gifts to his disciples.
"Yes, Master." Han Li was the first to step forward, wanting to know what the gift was.
Bai Tian personally handed him a beautiful box.
He took it and opened it, and saw a beautiful jade bottle inside. In the jade bottle was a dazzling elixir, and a strong medicinal fragrance came. Han Li looked at his master Bai Tian with curiosity.
Even though he collected many rare prescriptions, he still had never seen it.
Daytime slowly spoke.
"This is the Heaven-Repairing Pill refined by an ancient cultivator. It can cleanse the innate spiritual roots of a cultivator who has formed a Dan. The effect of absorbing spiritual energy is doubled, making it easier to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in the future. You must remember to refine it more often and don't slack off!"
Bai Tian explained simply.
When these words were spoken, Han Li, the Murong brothers and the other three were shocked. A peerless elixir that could help one advance to the Nascent Soul stage?
Master is so generous!
You have to know that anything with the word "Infant Formation" in it cannot be purchased with spirit stones, you have to fight for it desperately. It may even lead to the extermination of the clan.
In an instant, Nie Ying and the other three were stunned.
Han Li has always been a cunning person. When he heard that the Pill had the effect of refining spiritual roots and accelerating cultivation, he took out the Bu Tian Pill and swallowed it in one gulp without hesitation, for he was worried that his master would suddenly change his mind and he would lose the chance to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
The gift of the Bu Tian Dan was made from 500-year-old Bu Tian Zhi. After a period of refining, one could obtain an additional 100 years of cultivation results. It was a very precious and rare elixir. Countless people had died and injured in the Chaos Star Sea for a Bu Tian Dan, so you can imagine how precious it was.
Since Han Li's spiritual roots are relatively poor, it is most appropriate to give it to him.
"Thank you Master!"
After Han Li took it, he found that the skills were running automatically and his magic power was slowly increasing. He immediately realized that his master was not lying and that it was truly a peerless treasure.
Immediately express your sincere gratitude to the daytime.
How could an ordinary master easily give away a precious pill that can increase the chance of forming a baby? He was in awe of Bai Tian and decided to listen to his master and cultivate one or two rare thousand-year-old spiritual medicines as a tribute to him.
"You should step down now and remember your teacher's teachings."
"Nie Ying, come forward!"
Bai Tian finished speaking and called the name of Nie Ying.
Han Li, with great joy in his heart, bowed respectfully and stood aside.
Look at Master again during the day.
I couldn't help but feel awe and felt extremely cordial.
In the dangerous world of cultivating immortals, I finally have a backer!
