Jade Screen Peak.
Above, the Lunar Rites at Cloud-Resting Terrace occasionally draws the moonlight to its source; in the middle, the mountain-guarding banner at Green Vine Grotto transforms evil into good fortune; and below lies the second-tier mountain-guarding formation, the [ Cloud-Water Azure Vine Earth-Covering Grand Formation ].
In just four short years, things have changed dramatically.
The Spiritual Qi within the peak reached an extraordinary level, even surpassing the spiritual peaks at the core of the Jade Spring Sect...
In recent years, disciples from the Expenditure Hall or the Evil Hunting Hall have occasionally come here looking for Chen Shuangbai.
Putting everything else aside, just being in this spiritual peak and feeling the abundant and pure spiritual energy made me feel completely comfortable, as if staying a little longer would allow me to break through my cultivation level.
Several times, the disciples who came to deliver messages lingered, reluctant to leave, hoping to stay a little longer.
Chen Shuangbai didn't pay any special attention to it.
In this way, the news spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred... Gradually, many disciples in the sect learned that their youngest Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, Chen Shangxiu, lived in the Cuiping Villa outside the sect, which was a rare and Higher Vehicle peak.
Many disciples tried various methods to inquire whether there was a chance to become Chen Shuangbai's disciple.
It's just a pity... Chen Shuangbai has been in seclusion for the past few years, so he hasn't had much time to mentor disciples.
Only when he occasionally went to the Scripture Transmission Hall to fulfill his duty of assisting in the teaching of Dao of Alchemy alchemy could he be considered to have shown this side of himself.
but...
He is currently the youngest Foundation Establishment Late Stage in the sect, and is Golden Core True Person in the future.
The future is so bright it's almost keeping you up at night!
Regarding whether or not to take on apprentices... Chen Shuangbai didn't actually need to put in much effort.
His advancement to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage was met with great excitement, not to mention the other cultivators, especially the advanced Foundation Establishment cultivators within the sect.
Those who already had Lineage sought out people early on to ask if they could send one or two of their direct descendants to become disciples of Chen Shuangbai, so as to secure a future for themselves and their Lineage.
Not only his senior uncles and aunts, but even Master Yi Chongyue personally sent someone to ask Chen Shuangbai if he had any thoughts about taking on disciples.
Chen Shuangbai wasn't particularly opposed to taking on apprentices.
If someone can carry forward and promote his legacy, it would be a testament to his own cultivation.
Jade Spring Sect.
After handling the official business of the Evil Hunting Hall for the month, Chen Shuangbai first went to Verdant Hills Stream and gave some pills to the two servants guarding the cave abode as encouragement.
He then went to Deer Deep Waters Peak to pay his respects to his master Yi Chongyue.
Deer Deep Waters Peak.
Looking at Chen Shuangbai, whose divine light was restrained yet whose magical light flowed, Yi Chongyue couldn't stop smiling.
"Excellent! Perhaps the first Golden Core in our lineage will start with you, Shuangbai!"
Chen Shuangbai joked, "Then Master also needs to work harder. If the teacher is surpassed by his disciple, he'll probably lose face, won't he?"
Who said that?
Yi Chongyue's face was flushed, and he said loudly, "The more successful you are, the more proud I am!"
"Ignore these idle gossips and boldly move forward. Your teacher will support you in everything!"
Yi Chongyue has not neglected his spiritual practice in recent years.
In previous years, the sect only had two second-level Alchemist. He and Yan Nanlai Dao of Alchemy heavy responsibilities and needed to contribute to the sect's alchemy.
Now Gongye Chun arrived...
This old True Person and no longer cultivates much. He devotes himself entirely to Dao of Alchemy, hoping to cultivate a third-level Alchemist for the Jade Spring Sect before his death, so that his lineage can gain more protection.
Yan Nanlai Yi Chongyue have made great progress in their Dao of Alchemy skills in recent years, and Chen Shuangbai has also made considerable progress, thus solidifying their position as the third second-level Alchemist of the Jade Spring Sect.
However, the sect did not force Chen Shuangbai to refine pills because... Chen Shuangbai's talent in cultivation clearly surpassed his talent in Dao of Alchemy.
The master and disciple rarely met, and they chatted for a while about Dao of Alchemy and cultivation.
As they chatted, Yi Chongyue steered the conversation toward taking on apprentices.
He has taken on another apprentice in the past few years.
He is a new disciple of this year, a genius with first-class aptitude, possessing both water and fire Spirit Root, and even a rather special spiritual body, making him very suitable for alchemy.
It was because his lineage produced Chen Shuangbai, who gained more influence within the sect, that this person was invited to join.
Chen Shuangbai, this junior brother whom I have never met before, is still training and cultivating in the inner sect. This is the first time we have met.
"Have someone bring Tang Yu over here!"
Before long, Uncle Zhong came out of the side hall, followed by a young man dressed in the robes of inner disciple. He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a broad forehead and wide ears, and was clearly a very fortunate-looking man.
His cultivation level should be around the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining.
Chen Shuangbai couldn't help but sigh, "Grade A aptitude... is still better than Grade B aptitude."
The young man strode forward and bowed respectfully. " Tang Yu greets Senior Brother!"
"I have long admired your reputation, Senior Brother. It is truly an honor to meet you today!"
His voice was clear and bright, and when he looked at Chen Shuangbai, his eyes were full of curiosity and admiration.
It's not really his fault.
Simply because Chen Shuangbai's reputation within the sect... oh no, it should be his reputation in the Jing Kingdom, is just too great.
Since becoming Yi Chongyue's disciple, Tang Yu had heard many stories about Chen Shuangbai, whether willingly or unwillingly, and felt both excited and apprehensive.
Now that I've finally met True Person, and heard that this senior brother is already a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, I feel like I'm going to go numb.
Yi Chongyue pointed at the young man and said to Chen Shuangbai, "Your junior brother has a good character and is quite insightful in the path of Dao of Alchemy, but he is a bit too impulsive and needs to be tempered."
Chen Shuangbai nodded, a gentle smile on her face as she looked at Tang Yu, and said softly, "Being accepted as a disciple by Master proves that Junior Brother's talent and character are extraordinary. Given time, he will surely achieve great things."
Upon receiving such praise from this legendary senior brother, Tang Yu felt his Qi and Blood rush to his head, and his face became burning hot.
He stammered a few words, and after receiving a high-grade magic Law Artifact as a gift from Chen Shuangbai, he withdrew.
Chen Shuangbai then withdrew his gaze and smiled, "My junior brother... his talent is truly extraordinary!"
The close contact made Chen Shuangbai realize his junior brother's talent in Dao of Alchemy.
Yi Chongyue nodded and said, "Originally, I wanted to send him directly to Martial Uncle Gongye... but he said he was no longer willing to accept disciples, so he became my disciple."
"This child is promising; he is the successor of our lineage."
Chen Shuangbai nodded and then shared her thoughts.
"As for taking on disciples, I am not opposed... but Master knows me well. I am very busy and may not be able to keep my disciples by my side at all times. Therefore, even if I were to take on disciples, they must be those with a firm Daoist heart and pure character."
"If Master has the time, could you please help me with the selection?"
Yi Chongyue replied, "I understand."
