Chapter 140: The Heavenly Serpent Technique!
"Teacher!"
Gu He was drinking tea in the pavilion when Xiao Yi Xian brought Qing Lin over.
Gu He put down the teacup, looked at the two, and said with a smile, "Have you chosen the rooms?"
"Yes, Junior Sister's room is right next to mine," Xiao Yi Xian nodded, her face filled with a smile. Since Gu He's return, her smile had never disappeared.
"Very well," Gu He nodded in agreement. Then, he looked at the timid little girl and said gently, "Qing Lin, this will be your home from now on. I and Senior Sister Yi Xian are your family. There are no strict rules here, so don't feel constrained."
Hearing this, Qing Lin obediently nodded. She held hands with Xiao Yi Xian, and it seemed like she had grown closer to her. During the room selection process earlier, Xiao Yi Xian had taken care of her in every way possible, and Qing Lin had gradually accepted her as her second senior sister. She was also starting to feel a sense of belonging to this home in Yun Lan Sect.
Xiao Yi Xian held Qing Lin's hand and walked into the pavilion. She proficiently poured tea for Gu He and said softly, "Teacher, this time when you've returned, you won't leave again, will you?"
Gu He slightly nodded, "Hmm, in the short term, I don't plan to go out. I already have three disciples now, so I don't have any immediate plans to leave."
Of course, he hadn't forgotten his agreement with the Queen Medusa. Three months later, he would find time to visit the Serpent People's territory and lend her the Heavenly Flame.
Thinking of Queen Medusa, Gu He looked at Qing Lin, hesitated for a moment, and took out a scroll from his storage ring. The scroll was none other than the Dou Qi Cultivation Technique of Queen Medusa, the Serpent Spirit Art.
"Qing Lin, come here," with the Serpent Spirit Art scroll in hand, Gu He waved to Qing Lin.
Qing Lin hesitated for a moment but then obediently walked over. A trace of confusion flickered in her emerald eyes.
"Master promised you three gifts. The Dou Qi Cultivation Technique scroll is the third gift," Gu He handed the Dou Qi Cultivation Technique scroll to Qing Lin.
Qing Lin extended her small hand and accepted the scroll from Gu He. Originally, Gu He had intended to give her this scroll after she reached the Earth-Rank Dou Fighter level. However, he thought about the third opportunity to trigger the ten-thousand-fold return mechanism among the three promised gifts. Since he didn't know what else to give her, he decided to give her the Dou Qi Cultivation Technique now. If he gave it later, he would waste an opportunity to trigger the mechanism.
"Teacher, you mentioned this matter to the sect master?"
"If there are no surprises, you will soon have another junior sister." Gu He looked at Xiao Yi Xian with a smile, clearly in a good mood.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian was slightly stunned. After a moment of silence, she said, "I see."
She had figured it out. It seemed that her teacher had some sort of habit of taking on disciples. From herself to Qing Lin, and now Nalan Yanran, every time her teacher went out, it seemed that he had to bring back a new disciple. Even the sect master's personal disciple, Nalan Yanran, wasn't spared. Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but wonder why her teacher was taking in so many disciples.
As for herself, Xiao Yi Xian had pondered on it for some time. Why would her teacher, who was renowned as the Pill King of the Gamma Empire, choose her? The only explanation was her unique Poison Body. Her extraordinary physique was the reason she could enter her teacher's tutelage.
Regarding Qing Lin, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but wonder if her junior sister also possessed some unique physique, similar to her own. However, the question remained – why would her teacher accept Nalan Yanran as a disciple? Nalan Yanran didn't seem to have any extraordinary physique.
Despite her many questions, Xiao Yi Xian didn't harbor any ill thoughts. In her opinion, as long as her teacher had genuine intentions towards her, that was enough. During this time, her teacher's care and guidance had been meticulous, and she was deeply grateful for it. If it weren't for her teacher accepting her as a disciple, she would likely still be a small-town doctor. How else could she have become a third-rank alchemist in such a short period?
