On the flying boat heading to the Qingyun Sect.

  Lu Jing and Lin Ke'er looked at Ye Chen with flushed faces, their eyes filled with unexpected joy.

  While they were waiting in the courtyard, they heard from the servants that Ye Chen had given the Qingyun Token to an outsider, angering the family head.

  The consequences were unimaginable.

  At that time, the two women were also startled.

  Lin Ke'er even pnned to run away on the spot and cut ties with Ye Chen.

  But unexpectedly, in just a short while, Ye Chen became the personal disciple of the peak master of Qingyun Sect.

  It was a dramatic turn of events, truly unbelievable.

  Although the two didn't fully understand how precious the identity of a personal disciple was, they were well aware of how rare it was to have a teacher at the te Foundation Establishment stage.

  Thus, the originally hesitant Lin Ke'er boarded the flying boat without hesitation.

  Willingly becoming Ye Chen's maid.

  The flying boat soon arrived at Qingyun Sect, briefly nding at the mountain gate. The elder at the gate, upon seeing Gu Yunyun in a red robe with an indifferent expression, hurriedly greeted, "Greetings, Elder Gu!"

  Gu Yunyun nodded, "Have someone from the Internal Affairs Hall register at Sword Peak ter; I have accepted a disciple."

  Upon hearing this, the gate elder was extremely surprised.

  Gu Yunyun actually accepted a disciple?

  Gu Yunyun had always been indifferent to anything outside of swordsmanship.

  Until now, she had never taken a disciple.

  Even geniuses with unique spiritual roots didn't catch her eye.

  Now that she's accepting a disciple, what kind of prodigy must it be?

  The gate elder dared not dey and quickly agreed.

  Gu Yunyun said no more and, once the formation opened, piloted the flying boat directly into the mountain gate.

  This left Ye Chen, sitting upright on the flying boat, full of emotion.

  He had always heard that entering the mountain required handling the procedures himself.

  Unexpectedly, after becoming a personal disciple, the Internal Affairs Hall came to serve him directly.

  The status of a personal disciple of the peak master was far higher than he had imagined.

  Within Qingyun Sect, the immortal aura was ethereal, the mountains stood like swords, and various celestial cranes and spiritual creatures flew about, resembling a paradise of the immortal realm.

  Even the spiritual energy was several degrees richer than the outside world.

  This opened the eyes of Ye Chen, Lu Jing, and Lin Ke'er, who were cultivators from the outside world.

  Soon, the flying boat nded on a mountain peak.

  "This is Sword Peak, and you are its only disciple."

  "That is my cave abode. If you encounter any problems in your cultivation, you may come there to seek my guidance."

  "Your talent is poor, but since you insist on cultivating immortality, I will still give you the status of a personal disciple. But whether you can keep it, whether you can break through to Foundation Establishment, depends on you!"

  Putting away the flying boat, Gu Yunyun looked at Ye Chen with indifferent phoenix eyes.

  She was actually dissatisfied with this sudden personal disciple.

  Firstly, she only loved swordsmanship and didn't care about anything else, nor had she ever thought of taking a disciple.

  Secondly, Ye Chen's talent was too poor.

  With third-grade spiritual roots, you could randomly grab ten rogue cultivators on the roadside, and five would be stronger than Ye Chen.

  Lastly, there was the female cultivator beside Ye Chen.

  Bringing a maid into Qingyun Sect clearly indicated he was not someone dedicated to hard cultivation.

  Poor talent and not diligent, indulging in pleasure.

  Destined to have no future.

  So Gu Yunyun had no expectations for Ye Chen.

  She only pnned to give him the status of a personal disciple.

  Letting him fend for himself, she estimated it wouldn't be long before Ye Chen left on his own.

  Ye Chen, hearing this, could sense his master's coldness.

  But he didn't mind at all.

  With the Lick Spirit System in hand.

  Ye Chen could even warm an ice mountain.

  Let alone a cold and alluring master with an explosive figure.

  The motivation was indeed abundant!

  So Ye Chen wasn't worried at all.

  Gu Yunyun nodded, "The Internal Affairs Hall will come ter to register your identity and introduce everything within the sect."

  "I'll be leaving now."

  After speaking, Gu Yunyun gracefully left.

  Ye Chen hurriedly bowed to see off his aloof master.

  Looking at his master's back, Ye Chen made a new discovery.

  That was, his master's waist was too slender.

  So much so that when looking at her back, he could see the outline of her front.

  Lu Jing's figure was also explosive.

  But she couldn't achieve this.

  No wonder his master could have a hundredfold feedback.

  Just her figure probably accounted for at least half of the multiplier.

  However, this master really didn't care about him.

  Just left him here.

  Didn't even bother to say a few more words.

  Fortunately, the people from the Internal Affairs Hall arrived quickly.

  A flying boat nded in front of Ye Chen and the two women.

  Dozens of stewards from the Internal Affairs Hall disembarked.

  Among them was even an elder with white hair and beard.

  "Where is Elder Gu?"

  The elder looked at Ye Chen and asked.

  Ye Chen saluted, "Greetings, Elder. Master has gone back to rest and asked me to wait here for the Internal Affairs Hall to handle the procedures."

  This was indeed Gu Yunyun's style.

  The elder wasn't surprised, instead, he looked at Ye Chen with interest.

  Gu Yunyun was proud and focused solely on swordsmanship.

  The sect master had mentioned it several times, even recommending a disciple with unique spiritual roots.

  But Gu Yunyun still didn't accept.

  Now suddenly bringing someone back was indeed curious.

  What kind of prodigy could this be?

  "I am Elder Chen from the Internal Affairs Hall, here to register you."

  "Name?"

  "Ye Chen!"

  "Spiritual root attribute?"

  "Non-attribute, third-grade!"

  "Uh... huh?"

  Elder Chen was stunned. The common imagined spiritual roots were non-attribute.

  From first-grade to ninth-grade.

  But besides that, there were various unique spiritual roots, like fire spiritual roots, water spiritual roots, and so on.

  These spiritual roots had great limitations, only able to cultivate matching attribute techniques and learn spells of that attribute.

  But because they focused on one path, they cultivated faster.

  Moreover, their spells were more powerful.

  The possibility of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage was greater.

  It could be said that anyone with unique spiritual roots was an outstanding genius.

  But Ye Chen, personally brought back by Gu Yunyun, was only a third-grade spiritual root?

  How was that possible?

  Elder Chen couldn't believe it and immediately had a steward take out the array disk for testing spiritual roots.

  Ye Chen pced his hand on it, watching as three beams of light appeared.

  Both Elder Chen and the other stewards fell silent.

  It really was third-grade?

  To be honest, in Qingyun Sect, seventh-grade spiritual roots were just the bottom.

  To stand out, at least eighth-grade was needed.

  Ninth-grade spiritual roots could be considered small geniuses.

  As for third-grade?

  To be honest, most of the stewards in Qingyun Sect hadn't encountered it.

  After all, Qingyun Sect didn't accept weaklings.

  Elder Chen looked at Ye Chen with a complex expression, "Are you a retive of Elder Gu?"

  Ye Chen knew what the other was thinking and didn't hide it, "A senior has a connection with my master, so my master accepted me."

  Elder Chen suddenly understood.

  So it was through connections.

  Such things happened even in Qingyun Sect.

  After all, elders were human too, and there were always some favors hard to refuse.

  However, a peak master could only designate one personal disciple.

  The rest were just ordinary elder disciples.

  They just had more resources, without extra benefits.

  To be willing to give a personal disciple position, it seemed Elder Gu owed a significant favor.

  Elder Chen immediately lost interest, instructing his stewards to record Ye Chen, not bothering to say another word.

  Once the recording was complete, Ye Chen received his token.

  Elder Chen then spoke, "The benefits of being a personal disciple of the peak master are many..."

  "For example, every three years you can get a spot to cultivate in the Five Elements Cave."

  "And there are spots in the sect's secret realm, with personal disciples having a higher chance of obtaining them."

  "Upon reaching the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, the sect will issue a low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. If you participate in the sect competition and win first pce, the low-grade can be upgraded to high-grade."

  "There are also many sect facilities, with restrictions for ordinary disciples, but none for personal disciples."

  "And the allocated pills are all high-grade."

  "Details are written in the booklet provided."

  Ye Chen's eyes lit up as he listened to the introduction.

  He couldn't help but ask, "Can these spots be given to others?"

  Elder Chen was taken aback, given to others?

  The Five Elements Cave could purify and compress all mana, washing the body with invisible force.

  Entering once greatly enhanced both mana and body.

  And the opportunities in the secret realm were numerous.

  Who would give them away?

  Could it be...

  Elder Chen looked at Ye Chen, roughly guessing why Ye Chen would ask such a question.

  Ye Chen was only at the sixth yer of Qi Refining, with third-grade spiritual roots.

  He was probably afraid of being robbed, which was why he asked.

  Although he was a connection, Elder Chen still seriously said, "The spots are yours, so you can give them to anyone you wish."

  "But only if you willingly give them."

  "If someone tries to take them, it is absolutely impossible."

  "Our Qingyun Sect is a righteous sect, encouraging competition among disciples, but it must be fair and square. Private plundering is absolutely not tolerated, even if other personal disciples do such things, they must pay the price, even having their cultivation abolished and being expelled from the sect."

  "So rest assured!"

  Subsequently, Elder Chen saw Ye Chen reveal a relieved smile.

  This made Elder Chen shake his head.

  A dignified personal disciple, yet afraid of having resources taken away.

  It seemed the weakest personal disciple in Qingyun Sect was born.
