After the three of them completed the master-disciple ceremony in the main hall with their respective masters, they were officially accepted as disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully becoming a disciple of the Qingyun Sect. You have obtained Unrivaled Insight, allowing you to comprehend the Heavenly Book and practice Daoist Magic as easily as drinking water or breathing.]

The System notification sounded at this moment.

After the ceremony, the Peak Lords of each peak left one by one. Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan, the two orphans from Caomiao Village, also bid farewell with their masters.

Finally, Shui Yue led Su Changqing out of the hall. Shui Yue summoned a Flying Sword, first using Spiritual Energy to support Su Changqing before he ascended, then leaping onto the sword herself.

"Chang Qing, hold onto my sleeve tightly. Don't look around, or you might fall off."

Shui Yue instructed, then flicked her sleeve. The sleeve extended a few inches further, landing perfectly in Su Changqing's hand.

Su Changqing nodded and then tightly gripped the sleeve, standing obediently behind Master Shui Yue. However, his eyes were constantly observing how Master Shui Yue controlled the Flying Sword.

Seeing her disciple's obedient demeanor, Master Shui Yue felt pleased.

Even though Su Changqing's innate talent was not exceptional, he had a good temperament and was very obedient. Bringing him back to Little Bamboo Peak might not be a bad thing.

With a whoosh, the sword flew towards the mountain range of Little Bamboo Peak.

In a short while, the Flying Sword gradually landed steadily from high in the sky. Unlike other peaks, the mountain range of Little Bamboo Peak was covered with various flowers and plants, blooming beautifully and exuding a pure fragrance.

"Disciple, we have arrived."

After Master Shui Yue helped Su Changqing off the Flying Sword, she followed him down. The two walked into a small hall within the mountain range one after another.

Upon entering the hall, the fragrance intensified. What greeted their eyes were over a hundred female cultivators of Little Bamboo Peak sitting inside, practicing their Cultivation Methods.

"Master!"

Hearing the sound, all the female cultivators turned their heads and greeted Master Shui Yue in unison.

Then, they noticed a young boy standing behind their master. Everyone was surprised, as men rarely came to Little Bamboo Peak, let alone a boy brought back by their master, who was known for her aversion to men.

"Mmm."

Master Shui Yue nodded in response to her disciples. She didn't explain their surprised gazes and led Su Changqing towards the front of the hall.

"Who is this little boy? Could he be Master's nephew?"

"I've never seen this boy in the sect before. Perhaps he's a new disciple accepted by another peak, and Master brought him over for us to see."

"This little brother is about the same age as our new Junior Sister Lu Xueqi. He looks delicate and well-behaved, truly adorable."

Su Changqing followed closely behind Master Shui Yue, the low murmurs around him incessant. However, Su Changqing didn't pay much mind, merely observing these Senior Sisters with his pure, clear eyes.

Indeed, cultivating also depends on looks.

Not a single female cultivator on Little Bamboo Peak was unattractive. In his past life, any of them could have been a star. Several of them were even more stunning, like the most vibrant blossoms in a field of flowers.

One young girl, around Su Changqing's age, remained as calm as still water when faced with his appearance, showing no ripple of emotion. After a single glance at Su Changqing, she turned back to her own cultivation.

Let Su Changqing guess, she's probably the heroine from that story.

As Su Changqing followed to the front of the hall, Master Shui Yue sat on the main seat, and Su Changqing stood before her, quietly awaiting her instructions.

"All my disciples, this little boy is named Su Changqing. He is a new disciple I accepted today, and from now on, he will be your Junior Brother. He will live and grow on Little Bamboo Peak for a period of time."

Master Shui Yue first introduced Su Changqing's identity. Then, she solemnly instructed, "Cultivators value purity of the six senses. Therefore, you need not be concerned that he is a boy. Focus on practicing your own Daoist Magic. Senior and Junior siblings should look after each other. Do not deliberately exclude him. Do you understand?"

"Disciples understand!"

The female cultivators responded in unison.

However, they were all inwardly shocked. This little brother was actually a disciple accepted by Master? When did Little Bamboo Peak start accepting male disciples?

Didn't Master always keep her distance from men? This was actually breaking the tradition of Little Bamboo Peak, which had never accepted male disciples. It was truly unbelievable.

Yet, many disciples felt a surge of joy. Little Bamboo Peak had always been composed of senior and junior sisters. Now, there was a junior brother, and he looked so well-behaved and cute.

Forget excluding him, they couldn't wait to dote on him.

Of course, they couldn't say that out loud, or they'd surely be punished if Master heard them.

"Alright, Chang Qing, these are all your Senior Sisters from now on."

"I have a total of one hundred and forty-two disciples. Excluding those who have already descended the mountain to cultivate, there are one hundred and twelve disciples remaining in the mountain. I won't introduce them to you one by one. You'll know how to address them once you interact with them."

Master Shui Yue said to Su Changqing.

"Yes, Master."

Su Changqing bowed slightly in response.

"Today, you are my disciple. The sect has twelve rules and twenty prohibitions. Your Senior Sister Wen Min will teach them to you later."

After speaking, Master Shui Yue cast a glance at Wen Min, who nodded in acknowledgment. Master Shui Yue then continued, "The Daoist Magic of our sect places great importance on foundation. As you are just starting, I will first teach you the basic Daoist Magic. You must remember it firmly and practice it yourself. If you have any unclear points, you can ask me, or you can ask your Senior Sisters. Do you understand?"

"Disciple understands!"

Su Changqing nodded, feeling a little excited inwardly.

Master Shui Yue smiled back, pointed to a meditation cushion beside her, and motioned for Su Changqing to sit. She first taught him how to meditate, then gave a brief explanation of the human meridians and the circulation of vital energy. Finally, she imparted the cultivation method for the first level of 'Taiji Xuanqing Dao' to Su Changqing.

Following Master Shui Yue's instructions, Su Changqing first sat on the cushion and silently circulated the method. After just one cycle, he noticed something was wrong.

He circulated the Daoist Magic himself, and it seemed more profound and powerful than what Master Shui Yue had taught, requiring greater finesse for the flow of spiritual energy through his meridians.

With this, Su Changqing discovered that his dantian was like an egg cracking open, directly reforging itself. The surrounding Spiritual Energy also began to be drawn towards Su Changqing at this moment, guiding into his body and flowing towards his dantian.

Could this be considered truly stepping onto the path of cultivation?

[Host is cultivating the Daoist Magic 'Taiji Xuanqing Dao', triggering Unrivaled Insight, and has successfully improved 'Taiji Xuanqing Dao'. The host is now cultivating 'Wuji Xuanqing Dao'.]

Su Changqing felt a slight shock in his heart. Was this Unrivaled Insight truly this terrifying?

Although 'Taiji Xuanqing Dao' was the foundational Daoist Magic of the Qingyun Sect, according to the stories, it was also considered a supreme Daoist Magic of the highest caliber in the world. Yet, it could still be directly improved by his own insight.
