Chapter 6 Master's Wife, Master, Can I Lend You My Hand?
Chapter 6 Master's Wife, Master, Can I Lend You My Hand?
"You would expel your disciple from the sect?" That shouldn't be the case. In the dream, that kid left Yunfeng only after he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Gu Yunzhou kicked the boy out because he refused to give Liu Yan the reward he received in the sect competition.
Based on the timeline, it should take another five years.
Later, he went to the Weapon Forging Pavilion. Because of his talent in weapon forging, he was appreciated by the sect leader and was occasionally given guidance.
In the dream, they didn't interact much, except that her father would sometimes send him over to deliver some magical artifacts.
After her death, her father was devastated.
He accompanied her father, venturing into one secret realm after another, slaying one monster after another.
They were trying to find her body and capture her soul.
If she were in the Nascent Soul stage, she might still be able to retain her divine soul.
However, she first fell to the Foundation Establishment stage, and once she died, she was dead.
To avoid being discovered, Gu Yunzhou had the bone exchange done in a secret realm that only opens once every hundred years.
How could her father possibly find her?
However, considering that the boy later stayed with her father, she was willing to take him on as her personal disciple.
"That kid is ungrateful. Junior Sister Yan kindly prepared food for him, but he actually went to the kitchen and complained about what Junior Sister Yan had prepared."
The master said that since he looked down on Yunfeng, then he would be considered not accepted as a disciple. He's currently raising spirit beasts in the outer sect.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. He's just a nobody. Jiang He, how many do you want to take in?"
"These disciples are the ones you've chosen. You can keep them; I won't take what belongs to someone else. I'll go check out this batch of new disciples and see if there are any I like."
Anyway, I just want to find someone to watch over my house and protect it.
Since she's not here, there's no need for her to stay any longer.
"Jiang He, why did you leave like this?"
Gu Yunzhou wanted to stop her and talk about the congratulatory gift.
"Master, let's go back for dinner first. Since Master's wife has already returned, we can invite her to Master's birthday banquet later."
Seeing that her master was about to chase after his mistress, Liu Yan stopped him.
She didn't want her master to pursue her master's wife.
"Yan'er is right. We'll invite her over at my birthday banquet."
After the meal, several new disciples and Liu Yan meditated in the training room.
Gu Yunzhou specially set up a spirit-gathering array here so that they could cultivate more efficiently.
However, instead of focusing on their cultivation, the group spent their time fuming with resentment.
"Senior Sister Yan, is that Jiang He the master's wife you mentioned? Just as you said, she's really annoying."
“We were all specially selected by our master for our exceptional talent, yet she still looked down on us.”
"Hmph, we're not even willing to be her apprentice."
"I heard that Hefeng is just a barren peak, nowhere as comfortable as Yunfeng."
"Didn't she say she wanted to find someone to guard the house? She's probably looking for a watchdog."
"I wonder what kind of torment I would suffer if I stayed with an old woman like that."
"When I was alive, I heard that some old women liked to torment children."
"Did you guys see the look in her eyes just now? It was like she wanted to eat us alive."
"I was terrified when she touched me."
Liu Yan was in a great mood because she saw that everyone disliked Jiang He.
"I'll make you some delicious snacks later."
"Senior Sister Yan, you're so kind."
"Senior Sister Yan is still here, and I can't bear to leave her."
"Senior Sister Yan, I will work hard to cultivate and protect you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Master will protect us."
"Sigh, you're all incredibly talented, but I'm utterly useless."
Liu Yan was there sighing and complaining.
The younger disciples quickly tried to comfort Liu Yan.
"Senior Sister Yan, don't worry, our cultivation level won't surpass yours, so you won't be at the bottom anymore."
"We will give all the spirit stone resources we obtained to Senior Sister Yan."
"When the time comes, Senior Sister Yan will definitely be the first place in the sect's new disciple competition."
"Yes, yes, the first place must belong to Senior Sister Yan. I heard from Senior Brother that the first place prize in the last sect competition was the Nine-Leaf Golden Lotus Pill."
The rewards for the next sect competition will definitely be great. When Senior Sister Yan receives the rewards, she'll be able to quickly improve her cultivation.
"I hope so. Everyone is very good, and I may not be able to win."
Of course she knew what the reward was for the last sect competition; her senior brother had given her the Nine-Leaf Golden Lotus Pill.
She advanced from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level by taking a pill.
Later, her master found her some other pills, which helped her advance from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level.
She hasn't reached the fourth level of Qi Refining yet.
The higher her level, the slower she levels up.
Because she is too unqualified.
While others had already leveled up by taking the same pills, she remained stagnant.
Several junior brothers, with their good aptitude, have already reached the second level of Qi Refining without taking any pills.
She was unwilling to accept that her aptitude was so poor, so she coaxed them into making her the worst.
Jiang He approached the deputy sect leader, hoping to find a disciple from among the outer disciples to guard her He Peak.
"If Xiao He has taken a liking to that disciple, just take him away."
"Uncle-Master, isn't this outer sect under your jurisdiction? I was taken away by someone, so I didn't know I needed to let you know."
"Haha, Xiao He, do you want someone more mature and stable, or someone more quick-witted?"
"Uncle-Master, isn't there a batch of new disciples? I'll choose some from among them."
"I haven't taken on any disciples yet, so if you catch my eye, I'll offer you some pointers."
"Didn't the sect leader have Yunzhou take in two disciples for you? Didn't you like them?"
“That’s what he’s set his sights on. He’s been nurturing it for so many years, so I won’t take what’s his.
Anyway, there will be another sect election in five years. If I want to take on disciples, I'll see then.
Furthermore, I'm about to go into seclusion, so I won't have time to teach apprentices for the time being.
"I see you've already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. Are you preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"
"I have that plan."
"I saw the sect leader hurriedly go into seclusion to refine magic treasures. He must be preparing a defensive magic weapon for you."
Take these pills.
The deputy sect leader gave Jiang He a storage bag, which contained some pills that he had refined.
The Nascent Soul cultivator's tribulation mainly depended on Jiang He himself; all he could do was offer some healing pills as silent support.
"Thank you, Uncle-Master."
Jiang He accepted the pills.
Soon, all the new disciples from the outer sect gathered together.
"I am Jiang He from Hefeng. Some of you may have heard of me."
I've been away for ten years, and I've just come back.
I want to find someone to go back and look after my house.
I spend most of my time in seclusion cultivating, and there's no one else in Hefeng, so there are quite a few trivial matters to attend to.
Anyone who wants to go to Hefeng, please step forward.
The disciples below were discussing among themselves.
Entering Hefeng is like stepping into the inner circle.
Although they weren't formal disciples, even a little bit of information that Jiang He peeked through his fingers was a tremendous opportunity for them.
Although He Feng is only one person, he has to be busy with all sorts of chores and errands, essentially making him He Feng's personal handyman disciple, but he is still very attractive.
Only those who are confident in their abilities and believe they can enter the inner sect in a couple of years do not want to waste their time at Hefeng.
It would be better to spend two years in the outer sect and then successfully become an inner sect disciple.
At that time, you can also choose to become an alchemist, weapon refiner, talisman maker, or magic array master.
The sect leader of Qingyun Sect is a weapon refiner, and the deputy sect leader is an alchemist; they are both role models for them.
Some are content with the status quo, finding it quite easy and comfortable to manage the spirit herb garden and feed the spirit beasts in the outer sect.
However, many people still kept moving forward.
Jiang He glanced around and found the child, Wen Siyuan.
"You're the one. Come with me." Jiang He stood in front of Wen Siyuan.
Wen Siyuan looked up at Jiang He with excitement.
"Disciple Wen Siyuan greets Elder Jiang."
"Uncle-Master, I think he's quite pleasing to the eye, so I'll choose him."
"This child has good potential. Since you like him, you should take him back with you."
The deputy sect leader remembered Wen Siyuan, who was chosen as a disciple by Gu Yunzhou during the sect's general election.
However, he was later expelled from the sect by Gu Yunzhou and ended up in the outer sect, where he now feeds spirit beasts in the spirit beast garden.
However, outstanding children will shine no matter where they are.
Even though the outer sect has poor cultivation resources and little time for cultivation, Wen Siyuan is already at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
It is estimated that in another five years, he will be able to establish his foundation and enter the inner sect.
"Thank you, Uncle-Master."
"Let's go." Jiang He took out two spirit beasts.
