"A person like me doesn't show mercy to enemies. If I really wanted to harm you, I would have done it the first time we met. I just didn't want to see a kind person like you being deceived by Long Aotian, so I repeatedly impersonated Long Aotian to get close to you..."
Before Bai Lan could finish writing, Xue'er separated a wisp of her own natal soul and excitedly said, "Master, you don't need to say anymore, I believe you!"
"..." With lightning speed, Bai Lan took away Xue'er's soul, then took a deep breath and slowly said, "Wait, what did you just say to me? Say it again?"
"Master, Master... Can't Xue'er ask this? Or does Master not acknowledge me as your disciple...?" Xue'er blinked, her face full of confusion.
Hearing others call him that is one thing, but with the True Person Qing Xuan Qingxuan preceding him, Bai Lan felt somewhat reluctant to accept this title.
So, is there some old tradition that the position of Peak Master of Jade Purity Peak is addressed as "Master" by his disciples? That's terrifying!
"..." Bai Lan smiled kindly and patted Xue'er's shoulder, "Listen to your teacher and change how you address me."
After making a trip to the outer sect, Bai Lan casually took on a disciple, who turned out to be the granddaughter of the Carefree Sect's patriarch. Although she ended up with a Long Aotian, the trip was still worthwhile!
The current cultivation level of the Carefree Sect's patriarch Wang Youzi, is the Mid Nascent Soul. He has remained at this level for several hundred years, and judging by the time, he will soon break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
The Carefree Sect currently has no other Nascent Soul Cultivator, unlike the two patriarchs of the Azure Origin Sect who are free-spirited and rarely seen. Wang Youzi powerful and wealthy, and he can be said to have absolute power within the Carefree Sect.
Even without considering the Carefree Sect's assets, the Black Market industry that Old Ancestor Wang You Wangyou built throughout the cultivation world is enough to make Lan envious.
According to Xue'er, Wang Youzi originally intended for his granddaughter Meng Xue'er, to become the future successor of the Carefree Sect, given that she was his direct descendant and possessed Single Spiritual Root. However, he never expected Xue'er to be so wavering in her resolve, and she was misled by Long Aotian. Xue'er still cannot forget Long Aotian and has lost all interest in cultivation, unable to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, becoming a laughingstock of the sect.
Perhaps because he had completely lost hope in Xue'er, Wang Youzi allowed her to run around and cause trouble at the Azure Origin Sect, essentially letting her run wild.
But Bai Lan felt that Xue'er was still a child who could be saved. It was definitely not because of the Carefree Sect or the Black Market industry; it was simply out of compassion that she wanted to save people from dire straits.
Therefore, it seems that as long as Xue'er is strong enough to satisfy Wang Youzi, she still has a chance to inherit the Carefree Sect.
This is a good starting point. As long as the Carefree Sect takes action, the other two Child of Destiny' lovers will become insignificant.
"What did you say?! Meng Xue'er is going to become your disciple? Really? Junior Sister, are you joking?" On Tongming Peak, True Lord Lingxiao on the table and stood up after learning that Bai Lan was about to take on a disciple.
Bai Lan calmly took a sip of tea. "I know you're in a hurry, but senior brother, please don't rush."
"Do you know who her ancestor is? He's Nascent Soul stage..."
"I knew at the time that Xue'er was the granddaughter of Senior Wang Youzi. With Xue'er's status, she could even be considered on par with other Core Formation cultivators in the Carefree Sect." After saying this, Bai Lan sighed, "But Xue'er insists on becoming my disciple. What can I do? I can't just refuse her, can I? If word gets out, people will say I look down on the people of the Carefree Sect and have offended Old Ancestor Wang You ..."
He encountered his clingy disciple Meng Xue'er on the road, and despite his best efforts, he could not break free and had no choice but to accept her as his disciple.
True Lord Lingxiao took a deep breath, looking at the innocent-looking Bai Lan across from him, his teeth itching. It was one thing for her cultivation to break through so quickly, but why was it that she could take on disciples so smoothly... Although it was he who initially proposed that Bai Lan take on disciples, now that she had actually done so, True Lord Lingxiao suddenly fell silent again.
Regardless of Meng Xue'er's qualifications, just her background alone is enough to make many people rush to Wang Youzi, Nascent Soul Great Expert.
Fortunately, he was worried Bai Lan this disciple with Five Spirit Roots would have difficulty Foundation Establishment in the future, so he eagerly sent him things when he was in the Qi Refining stage.
Later, after she reached the Foundation Establishment, he worried that she might die during her training and rushed to give her talismans. Now it seems that these things should not have been given to Bai Lan. They should have been kept in his Storage Bag to soothe his wounded heart! It would have been better to feed them to his cheap disciple Ji Feng. Did Yu Bai Lan really need these things in the first place? True Lord Lingxiao asked himself this question and felt a pang of heartache.
"Actually, Junior Sister, I came here today just to ask Senior Brother, it seems that the sect has an extremely complicated and lengthy process for accepting personal disciples. I am averse to trouble, and this kind of apprenticeship ceremony is too time-consuming and laborious, so perhaps we should skip it. These days, I want to go into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation before the invasion of Demonic Cultivator. Xue'er has been stuck at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining stage for too long, it's time for her to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
True Lord Lingxiao waved his hand silently, his tone heavy. "Whatever you say, whatever you say."
He doesn't really want to talk to Bai Lan right now.
In fact, he had already prepared to Nascent Soul breakthrough stage, but he just couldn't make up his mind. He always felt that he was missing a certain opportunity and needed to give himself a push to achieve a breakthrough naturally. Only in this way could he succeed.
But now, True Lord Lingxiao felt that the opportunity to break through the bottleneck had arrived. It was entirely forced out by Bai Lan. Whether he broke through sooner or later, it was still a breakthrough. He might as well make a push before the arrival of the Demonic Path. If he failed, it would be over. If he succeeded, he could become a senior uncle again!
"By the way, Senior Brother Ling Xiao, while I was training outside, I unexpectedly encountered two Nascent Soul Dao Lords from the Azure Cloud Sect. True Monarch Qingxia and True Monarch Yunxia, these two Core Formation True Person, gained fortuitous opportunity during a training trip and successively advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm." Bai Lan suddenly remembered something and turned to look at True Lord Lingxiao.
An accident? He didn't think it was an accident at all... True Lord Lingxiao closed his eyes, his surprise mixed with a sense of helplessness. Why did they all seem to want to break through to a higher realm before the war between the righteous and demonic factions started?
