"Thank you for your generous gift, teacher!"
The three bowed in unison, their voices filled with sincere gratitude. They deeply appreciated the immense benefits of having their master's school behind them, and only now did they truly understand the essence of the inheritance.
Qing Huan turned his gaze to Kong Xuan, his voice becoming more solemn:
"Kong Xuan, from this day forward, you will be my first disciple."
You need to set an example for your younger schoolmates and take on greater responsibilities.
Since your Five-Colored Divine Light can sweep away anything, ordinary spiritual treasures no longer offer you much benefit. Therefore, I have decided to teach you the Four Symbols Grand Formation.
This formation requires the essence of the Four Symbols Origin, which you lack. It must be set up using the corresponding Innate Spiritual Treasure as its foundation, and cannot be broken without the Sage."
After speaking, a beam of azure light containing supreme array principles entered Kong Xuan's sea of consciousness.
Kong Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He bowed deeply, his voice filled with excitement and gratitude:
"This disciple sincerely thanks Master for bestowing upon you such a powerful protective array!"
Kong Xuan was filled with thoughts. If he could integrate this formation with his own Innate Five Elements Origin and evolve it into a new formation, then even when facing Sage- level being, he might not be unable to hold his own.
Upon hearing this, the other four all showed expressions of admiration. They knew full well the weight of the six words, "Only Sage can break this."
With this powerful backing, Senior Brother Kong Xuan's title as the number one person below the Sage of the Primordial Wilderness world is practically secured.
Qing Huan's gaze shifted to Winged Immortal, a mischievous smile flashing in his eyes:
"Winged Immortal, your great opportunity will not arrive for some time."
In terms of magical treasures, you possess two high-grade and one mid-grade item, which is quite substantial.
Therefore, I will not bestow any further gifts upon you; you only need to wait patiently."
The Winged Immortal blinked her bright eyes, her face full of curiosity and anticipation:
"Master, I am already satisfied. But... could you please reveal a little about what kind of treasure or extraordinary encounter that opportunity was?"
Looking at his adorable expression, Qing Huan couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.
"The opportune moment has not yet arrived, and the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. You should calmly comprehend the Great Dao; when the time comes, you will naturally know."
Winged Immortal had no choice but to suppress her cat-like curiosity and obediently nodded.
"Gui Ling."
Qing Huan looked at his calm and composed third disciple.
"Today, your master bestows upon you a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure — the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd. I hope you will make good use of this treasure."
As he finished speaking, a gourd floated up in front of the Gui Ling.
Red sand was faintly visible on the gourd, its malevolent aura subtly concealed, exuding a mysterious and unpredictable aura.
The Saint Mother Gui Ling Spirit was deeply shaken; she never expected that her teacher would bestow upon her such a precious treasure!
In the Primordial Wilderness, countless Innate Deities dreamed of obtaining a supreme spiritual treasure, yet could not.
The Gui Ling solemnly bowed and thanked him:
"This disciple will certainly follow Master's teachings and will never fail to live up to the power and expectations of this treasure!"
This gourd had already been reforged by Qing Huan with supreme Magic Power, incorporating rare materials such as malevolent energy, the Southern Bright Lihuo Essence, and One Yuan Heavy Water, which increased its power several times over.
Even Quasi-Sage level expert who falls into it will inevitably perish and lose a layer of Dao Cultivation if he is not protected by a supreme treasure.
"Four Unlike."
Qing Huan's gaze softened.
"I have already bestowed upon you the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Qilin Staff, to help you gather the Qilin's legacy."
At the same time, I will also bestow upon you a wisp of divine fire essence to align with the fire laws you have comprehended.
Today, I bestow upon you another Innate Spiritual Treasure — the Nine Dragon Fire-Quenching Cover.
This treasure contains the essence of the Nine Dragons' Fire, possessing immense power, and it complements your Great Dao fire element.
As he finished speaking, a small crimson shield slowly descended.
Nine dragons coiled around the body, and flame runes flowed endlessly, radiating a scorching and powerful aura.
The Four Unlike creature was overjoyed and respectfully accepted the Nine Dragon Fire-Quenching Cover, its voice filled with gratitude and determination:
"I sincerely thank my teacher for his generous gift! I will diligently cultivate myself and live up to the name of the Qilin, and even more so, I will live up to my teacher's high expectations!"
How precious are Innate Spiritual Treasure that conform to one's own laws? In the past, there were very few of them even within the Qilin Clan, and they were mostly held by the clan elders.
It is truly an immense honor and a stroke of good fortune that I have now been able to obtain such a precious treasure.
Finally, Qing Huan's gaze fell upon his youngest disciple Saint Mother Wudang.
He smiled gently, his voice revealing a hint of doting affection:
"Wudang, your master has already bestowed upon you the Diagram of Heaven and Earth to comprehend the Great Dao of Universe."
Today, I bestow upon you another Innate Spiritual Treasure — the Phoenix Cloud Crown.
As he finished speaking, an exquisite crown, shimmering with rosy light and adorned with Phoenix Feather, slowly emerged.
Wudang was even more astonished. His teacher had already bestowed upon him the Diagram of Heaven and Earth, which was an immense Creation, but now he also possessed the supreme spiritual treasure Phoenix Cloud Crown?
The teacher's wealth... is simply too profound! Of Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure she has ever seen, including this Phoenix Cloud Crown, the teacher has already brought out three! What generosity and magnanimity!
"Alright."
Qing Huan's expression turned solemn as he earnestly gave his instructions.
"Now that you have become my disciples, you must always remember:"
The path of cultivation lies in drawing upon the Primordial Wilderness essence of the universe to achieve one's own perfection.
However, when one's Dao Cultivation reaches a certain level in the future, one must also give back to the Primordial Wilderness and maintain the cycle of heaven and earth.
This is the great law of Karma, and also the most fundamental precept of my school! Remember it well!
Qing Huan waved for the disciples to leave, "Go then. Four Unlike, you will go with Kong Xuan to the Seven Views Immortal Island and choose a Cave Mansion as your Dao Field."
"Since Gui Ling and Wudang have not yet Transformation, they should remain in the Chuyuan Palace for now to cultivate in seclusion. We will make further arrangements for them when they have completed their cultivation."
"Your disciple will obey your orders!"
The five disciples bowed in unison, and then Kong Xuan, Winged Immortal, Four Unlike three of them respectfully withdrew from the main hall.
Meanwhile, the Saint Mother Gui Ling and the Saint Mother Wudang remained where they were, continuing to immerse themselves in their profound cultivation.
Qing Huan's figure vanished like smoke and mist within the hall, and the next moment he appeared atop the highest peak of Yingzhou Immortal Island.
His Spiritual Sense spread out like a tide, taking in all the myriad creatures on the island.
Finally, their gaze fell upon the innate white jade beside the One Yuan Heavy Water, which was greedily absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.
With a gentle flick of his fingers, he cast two beams of Pure Light onto the center of the deep pool, One Yuan Heavy Water, and onto the white jade.
A six-petaled blue lotus stands tall and graceful, full of vitality.
As she moved, the Pure Light gradually merged into the blue lotus, which then swayed gracefully and transformed into a girl of about four or five years old.
The little girl's face was as pink and delicate as a lotus, and her temperament was ethereal and otherworldly. She spoke in a childish voice:
"Qinglian greets Master and thanks you for your guidance!"
Her voice, though young, carried a cool, lotus-like quality.
Qing Huan nodded slightly and said, "Since you have been enlightened by me, I will bestow upon you the Daoist name 'Yuan Lian'."
"Yuan Lian thanks you for bestowing this name upon me, sir!" the girl replied respectfully.
