Jiang Linglong Takes a Disciple

"It seems I should also focus my energy on deducing the 'Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword."

Thinking of the many wonderful uses of the Demon-Refining Immortal Sword, Chen Nianzhi said with a sigh.

After he finished speaking, he thought of Gu Lanshan and said, "Hermit Qingci and his wife have a daughter who actually possesses the Three-Yin Body. He asked me to help him get that girl to become your disciple."

"Oh?"

Jiang Linglong's eyes flickered slightly. The Three-Yin Body was Bu Fan talent, the kind of talent Nascent Soul True Lord. If nurtured properly, its potential was truly immense.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Linglong said, "His Dao Body physique Bu Fan; he is indeed worthy of being taken as a personal disciple."

Having decided to take on disciples, Jiang Linglong wasted no time, and the two of them directly took Teleportation Array to the Yan Kingdom.

After meeting Hermit Qingci, Jiang Linglong examined Gu Lanshan's aptitude and nodded with a smile, saying, "Indeed, she possesses the Three-Yin Body."

Both Qing Ci and his wife showed joy. The Dao Body physique was extremely rare, and such talent would be considered quite outstanding even among Nascent Soul True Lord.

The Fairy Qingyan suppressed her joy and looked at Jiang Linglong with some concern, asking, "I wonder if my daughter's Spirit Root can be fully restored?"

"If she had Four Element Spiritual Root or Five Element Spiritual Root, then I might not be able to remove the extra Spirit Root for her."

Jiang Linglong smiled slightly and then said, "But she has Two Element Spiritual Root, so my Heaven-Mending Secret Art will be useful to her."

"That's good." Fairy Qingyan was overjoyed and excitedly pulled Gu Lanshan forward, saying, "Why don't you quickly become my disciple?"

"Greetings, Master."

Although Gu Lanshan was nearly seven years old, she was already well-behaved and sensible, and quickly said in a sweet voice.

Overjoyed to have gained such a talented disciple, Jiang Linglong helped Gu Lanshan up and said with a smile, "Then you will be my second personally taught disciple from now on."

A teacher for a day is a father for life. In the cultivation world, the importance of the master-disciple relationship is no less than that of biological parents.

It's one thing for cultivators to accept Registered Disciple, but when it comes to recruiting personal disciples, they usually need to undergo multiple tests.

This involves considering the other person's character, as well as their Lineage and parents. Only after evaluation will they consider whether to accept them as a disciple.

Because direct disciples inherit part of the mantle, they are treated as one's own children and require a lot of effort to cultivate.

The reason why cultivators train their own disciples is that they believe the other party's potential is at least as good as their own, or even surpasses their own.

The reason why they painstakingly cultivate their disciples is mostly because they feel that they themselves may not become immortals. If their disciples can indeed cultivate to a high level in the future, they will naturally not forget the kindness of their painstaking cultivation.

It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, when the Purple Yin Realm was still incredibly glorious, the first thing every Immortal did after achieving immortality was to find the reincarnation of their master and repay the karmic Karmic Retribution for guiding them to enlightenment.

Countless Lineage would want their most prized daughters to become disciples of a top-tier cultivator like Jiang Linglong, but they often fail to meet her approval.

Because she herself possesses the potential to become an immortal, her painstaking efforts and resources to mentor disciples might actually hinder her own cultivation.

She agreed to take Gu Lanshan as her disciple, mainly because, besides Gu Lanshan's Bu Fan talent, Chen Nianzhi personally recommended her.

Getting back to the main point, after Gu Lanshan performed the grand ceremony, she was ultimately accepted as Jiang Linglong's second personal disciple.

Jiang Linglong brought him back to Spirit Lake Isle, taught him Cultivation Method and the Heaven-Mending Secret Art, and personally taught him for three months before entrusting Gu Lanshan to Lin Qianshu for care.

The cultivation of Qi Refining realm and Foundation Establishment realms is not particularly difficult, and it is already quite rare for Lin Qianshu, a Golden Core True Person, to personally enlighten her.

All Jiang Linglong needs to do is check the students' homework every now and then.

Aside from their daily cultivation practice, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong focused their main efforts on deducing Spirit Treasure and Divine Ability.

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, the Old Clan Leader personally came to Spirit Isle Lake, which surprised Chen Nianzhi.

Chen Nianzhi poured her Old Granduncle a cup of tea, then asked with a smile, "Great-uncle, you came in such a hurry today, is there something you need?"

"Something terrible has happened! The Qian Clan has been wiped out!"

Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi, the Old Clan Leader's face turned ashen.

Chen Nianzhi's pupils contracted slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "The Qian Clan was, after all, Golden Core Immortal Clan. How could they have been wiped out so suddenly?"

"I've had someone investigate; the Qian Clan..."

The Old Clan Leader, his expression somewhat cold, handed a letter to Chen Nianzhi halfway through his sentence: "Take a look at this first."

"Oh?"

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly as she picked up the letter and glanced at it, her expression quickly turning cold.

After reading it, he handed the letter to Jiang Linglong and said with a sneer, "This Qian Clan is really courting death."

According to the investigation results described in the letter, the Qian Clan's extermination can be considered as their own doing.

It turns out that sixty years ago, the Qian Clan found a Medium Spirit Stone Vein in the territory of the Earth Lion Province.

The Earth Lion Province was conquered primarily by the Chen Clan and Jiang Linglong, with Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong accounting for 80% of the credit.

The payment for the Azuregreen Immortal Sect 'Taiwu True Person who participated in that battle was paid by him and his wife, as was the payment for the Golden Core realm sects that were responsible for restraining the other Demon King.

As agreed, the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan received a great deal of rewards that year, including Spirit Mountain and mineral veins.

When the Qian Clan, as Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, participated in the war, they didn't even have a single member at the Purple Mansion Late Stage. Among the dozens of the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan who participated in the war, their battle achievements didn't even rank in the top ten.

Therefore, although the Qian Clan discovered this medium-sized mine, their strength and contribution were not significant, and Da Tou and his group were not qualified to occupy it.

However, money can corrupt people's hearts. In order to covet this Tier 4 mine, the Qian Clan did not report it to the Heavenly Ruins Alliance, but instead concealed it and secretly mined the mine.

To prevent the Heavenly Ruins Alliance from discovering the operation, the Qian Clan family didn't even use any of Lineage mortal members, but secretly dispatched two thousand Qi Refining Cultivator to mine the land.

They mined like this for a full sixty years, and obtained more than eighteen million Spirit Stone.

The reason Qian Xinghe was able to break through to the Golden Core realm realm was because of the enormous benefits brought by this Spirit Vein.

It is said that in order to prevent the Chen Clan from discovering anything amiss, Qian Xinghe even secretly went outside of the Ji Continent and to the Heavenly Hut Continent to purchase Golden-Core Formation Pill.

After Qian Xinghe broke through to the Golden Core realm, he continued mining the Spirit Stone mine for several years. Until two or three years ago, he still had tens of millions of Spirit Stone in his possession.

Therefore, in order to further cultivate Golden Core realm cultivators, Qian Xinghe once again secretly took a huge amount of Spirit Stone to the Heavenly Hut Continent.

This time, he broke through to the Golden Core realm realm, and his courage and strength increased greatly. Little did he know that he had long been targeted by a ruthless person.
