Chapter 17 - Without a male disciple, then I am the only seedling

Chapter 17: Without a male disciple, then I am the only seedlingGu Liuyun gazed at the diamond-shaped crystal in front of him, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Venerable Tianxuan chuckled and explained, “This is a little gadget I crafted during my free time. It can accurately access various aspects of a person’s aptitude, much better than conventional methods.”

Upon hearing this explanation, Gu Liuyun suddenly understood why he hadn’t encountered it in his previous life. It turned out that the sect leader had invented it himself.

Seeing that Gu Liuyun had no further questions, Venerable Tianxuan continued, “Place it on the palm of your hand, drop a droplet of blood essence, and then infuse your thoughts into it to get the results.”

Gu Liuyun nodded. He took the diamond-shaped crystal, produced a drop of blood essence, and let it fall onto the crystal. Then, he concentrated his mind and slowly channeled his thoughts into it. As thought power continued to flow, the blood on the crystal’s surface gradually merged into it, and the crystal started emitting a faint glow. Subsequently, blood-written characters gradually appeared on the facets of the rhombic crystal.

[Root Bone: Perfect Innate Foundation.].[Spiritual resources: Congenital perfection.].[Comprehension: Congenital perfection.].[Aura Affinity: Perfect!].[Harmony of Dao Melodies: Perfect!].

Looking at these inscriptions, Venerable Tianxuan, despite being mentally prepared, couldn’t help but tighten the hand stroking his beard, and his lips trembled.

“Heavenly genius! Heavenly genius! Patriarch bless you, may the Taoist Palace flourish!”

Tianluan and Murong Qianxue, standing nearby, found the suzerain’s reaction quite amusing. They responded similarly when they first learned of Gu Liuyun’s talent.

After Tianxuan Taoist was excited for a moment, he sighed softly. “It’s a shame, it’s a shame.”

Tianluan, noticing his reaction, furrowed her brows and asked, “Old man, what do you mean by ‘it’s a shame’?”

Taoist Tianxuan waved his hand and said regretfully, “If only his cultivation were a bit higher, even if he had reached the Divine Mansion Realm, our Taoist Palace would have a good chance of winning the top spot in this year’s Ascension to Immortals Conference.”

Tianluan rolled her beautiful phoenix eyes at him and said, “Liuyun has just started his cultivation journey. Instead of hoping for his Divine Realm, you might as well have some expectations for my disciple, Qianxue.”

Taoist Tianxuan chuckled and said, “You’re right. I was being too greedy.”

He then turned his palms over, took out two simple rings, and handed them to Gu Liuyun and Murong Qianxue.

“These are the Nascent Void Rings, containing a trace of my spiritual avatar. In times of crisis, they can protect your lives.”

[Ding! Obtain a Nascent Void Ring!].[Nascent Void Ring: Storage space +100! Contains a ray of primordial spirit from a cultivator of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, which can block the fatal blow of the highest cultivation level of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm!].

Looking at the Nascent Void Ring in their hands, Gu Liuyun and Murong Qianxue were pleasantly surprised.

The Nascent Void Ring was already a rare treasure, as most cultivators typically use storage bags, which have limited space. The Nascent Void Ring, on the other hand, provided a much larger storage capacity, making it highly valuable.

What excited them even more was that the Nascent Void Ring contained a trace of the suzerain’s spiritual avatar. He was a super-strong individual who had reached the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, just one step away from entering the Great Dao Realm. With this ring, their safety was almost guaranteed as long as they didn’t provoke formidable beings.

Gu Liuyun and Murong Qianxue took a step back, bowed, and expressed gratitude, saying, “Thank you, Sect Master, for your generous gift.”

Taoist Tianxuan waved his hand and replied, “You are Luan’er’s disciples, which makes you like my grandchildren. You can call me Shigong in private or refer to me as the old man.”

Murong Qianxue then respectfully saluted and addressed him as “Master.”

Gu Liuyun, scratching his head, realized that the sect leader had a completely different temperament from Master Tianluan, and he found the leader very amiable. He grinned and called him “old man.”

Taoist Tianxuan laughed heartily at Gu Liuyun’s response, overflowing with joy.

[Taoist Tianxuan’s favorability towards you has increased significantly. Favorability +150!].

He patted Gu Liuyun on the shoulder, saying, “Good child! In the future, you must diligently cultivate. When you reach the Divine Mansion Realm, I will appoint you as the sect’s Holy Son.”

Gu Liuyun enthusiastically agreed and promised to focus on his cultivation. With this matter settled, Tianluan led Gu Liuyun and Murong Qianxue back to her peak, Tianluan Peak.

Tianluan Peak was located very close to the main peak of the Taoist Palace, making it the second-highest peak after Tianlong Peak. The peak was abundant in spiritual energy, with vermilion fruit springs scattered throughout.

But what excited Gu Liuyun the most wasn’t the peak’s natural beauty. On the way, he noticed that the entire Tianluan Peak, from top to bottom, was inhabited by beautiful women.

Gu Liuyun had heard in the main hall that Master Tianluan had never accepted male disciples in the past, which made him even more excited.

From now on, he was the sole male disciple of Tianluan Peak!

Murong Qianxue, noticing his peculiar smile, asked, “What are you laughing about again?”

Gu Liuyun quickly adjusted his expression and shook his head, saying, “It’s nothing… Huh? Why did you say ‘again’?”

Murong Qianxue furrowed her brows, thinking that her junior brother, although good-looking, always had this strange habit of smiling oddly. She wondered if he had some personality issues since most geniuses tended to have eccentricities, and she wasn’t particularly fond of interacting with strangers.

Gu Liuyun, however, had no idea what was going through his senior sister’s mind. If he did, he might have rolled his eyes.

Upon arriving at the main hall of Tianluan Peak, Tianluan beckoned for Gu Liuyun to approach, which he did promptly, asking, “What instructions do you have, Master?”

Tianluan waved her hand and said, “I don’t have any specific instructions. I brought you here to teach you a technique.”

Gu Liuyun’s eyes lit up with excitement. As Tianluan held such a high status within the Taoist Palace and had formidable cultivation, the technique she was about to teach him was bound to be exceptionally powerful.

He eagerly stepped closer and asked, “What kind of technique, Master?”

Tianluan’s slender fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of her chair, and her phoenix eyes sparkled as if she had just thought of something.

“I’ve got it. I’ll teach you a powerful divine technique,” Tianluan replied.
