Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 448 - 414: Who Could Possibly Resist This?
Master Mao’s sharp gaze was fixed on Hong Xuanji’s hand.
After a moment, Hong Xuanji hid the Wine Gourd in his sleeve.
Master Mao’s gaze followed to the cuff of Hong Xuanji’s sleeve.
It seemed his gaze would burn through Hong Xuanji’s sleeve, so Chen Xu timely stepped forward.
At the same time, he took out a second Wine Gourd from his Storage Pouch.
This second Wine Gourd was naturally meant for Master Mao, as a token of apprenticeship.
Chen Xu raised his hand to dust his sleeves and solemnly bowed:
"Master, this wine is called Intoxicated Spirit Wine. I have nothing else, only this Intoxicated Spirit Wine is worth presenting.
My elder brother has it, so naturally, my master should also have it. It is not an apprenticeship gift, just something for Master to enjoy in leisure, I hope Master won’t mind."
He stood in the hall, like a jade tree, offering the Intoxicated Spirit Wine.
His words were calm and clear, possessing an ancient elegance as if brightly illuminating the space like the moon and stars.
Master Mao’s intense gaze suddenly moved away from Hong Xuanji’s sleeve, he was momentarily stunned.
He doubted his own hearing, yes, what did he just hear?
"My elder brother has it, so naturally my master should also have... it?"
Yes, it was this sentence!
Master Mao, originally moved by talent, suddenly had the idea of accepting a disciple.
As for the disciple’s personality and character, Master Mao was actually not clear.
He was not in a hurry to find out.
Encounter such a talented individual, naturally, accept first and consider later.
If issues arise in the future, there would be ways to handle them.
But Master Mao never expected that the real Chen Xu would be like this—
He said: My elder brother has it, so naturally my master should also have it!
Which master could resist these words?
Good! Good! This is my good disciple.
Chen Xu’s innocence and first-class character made him one of the best people in the world.
Master Mao laughed heartily, raised his hand to take the Wine Gourd Chen Xu offered, no longer looking at Hong Xuanji’s sleeve.
He repeatedly said, "Good, excellent, my beloved disciple’s sincerity, how could Master not accept it?
Good disciple, I will accept your wine. Do not fret about the apprenticeship gift, our Shence Sect does not insist on apprentice gifts.
On the contrary, the Master must give you an excellent meeting gift!
Come, come..."
He gingerly hung the Wine Gourd on his belt, then stretched out his palm into the air, and a wondrous treasure resembling golden sand appeared.
The treasure appeared light and delicate, resting in his palm as if it were nothing, folded to merely three inches long and wide.
At first glance, it was challenging to identify what exactly the item was.
At this moment, Chen Xu heard the sound of Zhou Hou’s hissing gasp from behind.
Zhou Hou recognized this item?
This item must be extraordinary!
Indeed, only heard Master Mao say, "Good disciple, this item is named Seven-Star Golden Armor, a treasure-grade Inner Armor.
Turn back and refine it to acknowledge ownership, and you can wear it intimately.
Though it feels weightless, its material can at least withstand a lethal strike from the Nascent Soul stage.
If your cultivation reaches that, injecting True Yuan into it, its protective power will be more sustained.
It is resistant to ordinary fire and water; they cannot invade this item. Wearing this armor, daily cultivation will increase the rate of extracting Spiritual Qi by at least half a percent."
Saying this, Master Mao paused slightly.
He glanced pridefully at Hong Xuanji, his demeanor reserved.
The fan beside him floated automatically without needing to be held, making a whirring sound.
Zhou Hou exclaimed in wonder at the side:
"Seven-Star Golden Armor, Ancestor’s grand gesture, it’s the first Inner Armor type treasure Ancestor personally refined when he first achieved Nascent Soul.
Legend has it all its Spiritual Materials were personally extracted from the obliteration door, defeating demons and mining.
Back when Sect Master wanted to exchange it with the Ancestor when accepting Brother Shao as a disciple, Ancestor never agreed to part with it...
Oh! Look at me, this is unreliable gossip, what am I blabbering about?
Ah, my mouth can’t be guarded, it’s my fault, my fault."
With that, Zhou Hou lightly tapped his mouth.
But Master Mao laughed heartily again.
He laughed freely, the armor in his hand shining brilliantly.
Chen Xu accepted the armor, folded in his palm, it’s less than half a hand’s size but has an indescribable ethereal charm.
Imagine if the treasure unfolded, it would surely expand in the breeze as in myth tales.
At that time, naturally, it would display another spectacle.
Chen Xu’s face showed emotion, about to kneel and formally worship his Master.
Master Mao held him up, hurriedly saying:
"Good disciple, first record in the Spiritual Register, formally establish our master-disciple status.
As for the initiation ceremony, wait a few months until your Sect Master elder brother concludes his solitary cultivation, then he will preside over it."
Master Mao’s implication seemed to propose an extravagant initiation ceremony for Chen Xu?
Chen Xu couldn’t help but pause, saying: "Master, is this... too grand?"
"Why grand? My disciple is deserving!" Master Mao waved his hand, his eye once more sweeping over Hong Xuanji.
Hong Xuanji sat in his wheelchair, what more could he say?
Thus, he could only sigh and helplessly said: "Congratulations Ancestor on gaining an excellent disciple."
Master Mao laughed heartily.
In the hall, Zhou Hou’s eyes were full of envy, Ye Ningzhen’s eyes darted around.
Ji Yang was pleased and excited, happier than winning a prize himself.
Only Shao Jiliang lay on the ground, with nobody to support him, looking utterly bitter and desolate.
Does anyone still remember, Ye Ningzhen initially stepped forward because he was injured by Liao Zhenfeng? To stand up for him?
Cultivators have tough skin, minor injuries aren’t fatal.
Yet being forgotten so thoroughly truly indicated his excessive uselessness and misery.
Thereafter Chen Xu recorded in the Spiritual Register, obtained the disciple token, and wrote his name behind Master Mao.
As the fifty-fifth generation Inner Sect disciple of Shence Sect, Nascent Soul Ancestor Master Mao’s personal disciple!
Master Mao’s personal disciple, but not the sect’s True Disciple.
To become a True Inheritor requires adequate merit Spiritual Grains, and passing several specific task evaluations.
Not mentioning merit Spiritual Grains, specific task evaluations are exceedingly challenging.
But the treatment for True Disciples is unusually beneficial.
Only now, Chen Xu realized True Disciples in Shence Sect can own industries!
For instance, Ye Ningzhen possesses a hundred acres of Ninth Grade Spiritual Field and a storefront in Immortal City allocated by the sect.
So Ye Ningzhen is not just not poor; she should indeed be considered wealthy.
Yet for some reason, this senior sister always appeared are stingy as if her money never suffices.
In any case, starting today, Chen Xu officially joined Shence Sect.
He apprenticed under Master Mao, firstly receiving a monthly sect stipend of three hundred Spiritual Grains.
Also he chose a Xuanling Cave Mansion halfway up the mountain as his residence.
This place is nearby the True Disciple residences, essentially the True Disciple living area.
But Chen Xu hadn’t yet had a chance to examine his cave abode closely before Master Mao took him to the sect’s martial field.
Master Mao said: "Good disciple, now you’ve apprenticed, I must adequately assess your cultivation."
He is incredibly responsible as a master, never accepting disciples only to become an absentee.
He even set a target for Chen Xu directly:
"At least three to five months remain until your Sect Master elder brother concludes his solitary retreat, this period is perfect for you to strive to pass the evaluations and attain the sect’s True Inheritor status."
