Chapter 150: Immortal Venerable × Meow Meow Cat (5)
The Myriad Mirror Array's detection was very fast, taking no more than half an hour.
The results from the Myriad Mirror Array would remain visible in the air for about an hour. Chi Junluo couldn't possibly go out with such a large, colorful rune on her back. Fortunately, the Xianyuan Sect was very experienced in handling such matters.
Behind the Myriad Mirror Array was a council hall. Before the colorful rune on Chi Junluo's back dissipated, she was asked to wait inside this hall.
Chi Junluo's outstanding test results meant that her acceptance as a direct disciple of Immortal Venerable Qingyun was a foregone conclusion. Based on Immortal Venerable Qingyun's usual style, she would never waste extra time daydreaming in the council hall. She had originally turned to leave, but seeing the child curled up obediently on the chair in the council hall, Immortal Venerable Qingyun's heart softened for some reason, and she stopped. Yun Qian, who had already settled Chi Junluo, was by Immortal Venerable Qingyun's side, intending to leave with her, but suddenly saw his Immortal Venerable stop.
Yun Qian, his eldest disciple, turned back with a confused expression. He saw the child who had been fierce and feisty in the array just moments ago, now curled up on the chair with her legs tucked in, looking innocent. Her face was a picture of obedient cuteness, and her seemingly tear-filled eyes held a hint of loneliness and pitiable helplessness.
At first glance, she looked like an abandoned little beast.
Immortal Venerable Qingyun gazed at the child, who resembled a little beast, and her heart stirred. She didn't even realize her fists were slowly clenching.
It seemed that this girl, whose origins were unknown but had passed the sect's test, shouldn't have such an abandoned expression on her face.
A voice in her heart kept saying that she deserved to be loved.
She shouldn't be abandoned.
And so, under the astonished gaze of her eldest disciple Yun Qian, Immortal Venerable Qingyun turned her head slightly and said, "Yun Qian, you go back first. I'll stay here with her."
Yun Qian, who had always been cold and aloof, was utterly shocked to hear Immortal Venerable Qingyun say she wanted to stay with a child. As he walked out of the council hall, he questioned his life. When he first came to the mountain, why hadn't he received such treatment?
He felt that his master was acting unusually today.
Seeing Yun Qian leave the hall, Immortal Venerable Qingyun waved her sleeve and closed the distant door.
The council hall here had no windows. It was originally designed to shield the anomalies of talented disciples from outside attention. Now, with the door closed, the room darkened.
Fearing that the young cub would be afraid of the dark, Immortal Venerable Qingyun snapped her fingers, using her magic to illuminate the council hall. The candlelight on the walls flickered to life. Instantly, the moderately sized space became bright.
When she could see again, the small child had already shrunk into a chair in the corner.
Seeing the girl hugging her knees and looking at her quietly, with her big, watery eyes, Immortal Venerable Qingyun's heart melted completely.
She quickly walked over, sat beside Chi Junluo, and pulled her into her arms. This time, she didn't miss the tremor that ran through the child when she reached out.
Immortal Venerable Qingyun remained vigilant but didn't pry.
Leaning in the embrace of the heroine, Chi Junluo closed her eyes, refusing to look at the color of the heroine's clothes. Soon, the body calmed down and stopped trembling. She pondered what excuse she could use to get the heroine to change out of that white outfit.
Perhaps it was due to the energy expended in the array, but Chi Junluo actually fell asleep leaning in the heroine's arms.
Listening to the even breathing of the person in her arms, Immortal Venerable Qingyun also felt a sense of peace. It was as if as long as the person in her arms was well, she was content.
After the colorful light on Chi Junluo's back completely dissipated, and since Chi Junluo was still asleep, Immortal Venerable Qingyun didn't want to wake her.
She carefully picked up Chi Junluo, cradled her in her arms, and walked out leisurely.
The main peak of the Xianyuan Sect was bustling with people. Many disciples witnessed a scene that almost made their eyeballs pop out. Their aloof Immortal Venerable Qingyun was now tenderly and carefully holding a frail little girl whose face was unclear, emerging from the Myriad Mirror Array and heading straight for the Xianyun Hall. Xianyun Hall was a relatively quiet place on the main peak, only opened when the Xianyuan Sect or elders recruited new disciples. Normally, it was just guarded by disciples on rotation.
What was Immortal Venerable Qingyun doing taking a little girl to Xianyun Hall? It was quite obvious.
Soon, the entire Xianyuan Sect was abuzz with new gossip.
Qingyun Peak. Immortal Venerable Qingyun. Has accepted her second direct disciple!
Rumors of the eldest disciple Yun Qian losing favor spread like wildfire throughout the Xianyun and Xianyuan Sects.
Hiding behind a rockery, listening to the outer disciples chatter about the rumors of him losing his master's favor, Yun Qian's face was covered in dark lines.
Setting aside the issue of losing favor, as the eldest disciple of Qingyun Peak, he had been on the mountain for 15 years. He had never seen his master, who was as cold as an ice block, express any affection towards him. What kind of gossip were these outer disciples listening to instead of cultivating properly?
A somewhat unhappy Yun Qian raised his palm behind his back. A fierce wind suddenly whipped up behind the rockery, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Seeing this display, the outer disciples knew they were in trouble. They had been gossiping behind someone's back and had been overheard. The group of outer disciples immediately scrambled away. Once everyone had dispersed, Yun Qian let out a cold snort, turned, and flew towards Qingyun Peak on his sword.
Chi Junluo woke up when the sky had already darkened.
She was still lying on that soft bed, in that strange wooden house that had no roof but didn't leak wind.
When she got out of bed and saw the heroine again, she realized that while she had been asleep, this body had become Immortal Venerable Qingyun's true disciple, the second disciple of Qingyun Peak!
Chi Junluo was slightly stunned. So, the heroine of this world either wanted to be her mother or her master.
Was this the legendary "You treat me as a disciple, but I want to sleep with you"?
Chi Junluo looked down at her small arms and legs, then at her small frame. She reluctantly accepted the current reality that she wouldn't be able to do "pleasant things" with the heroine for a while.
Chi Junluo called out to the Heavenly Dao in her sea of consciousness, but only received a vague response. It sounded as if it was very tired, so Chi Junluo didn't bother it further. She would take things one step at a time; there was still plenty of time. She would deal with whatever came her way!
Perhaps it was because this body belonged to an ancient divine beast, its recovery was exceptionally fast. The next day, upon waking, Chi Junluo could clearly feel that she was full of strength. The weakness of the past two days seemed like a mere illusion.
Immortal Venerable Qingyun conducted a simple examination of Chi Junluo's body. After confirming that Chi Junluo was completely fine, she began to teach Chi Junluo cultivation.
The Myriad Spirit Root was a legendary ancient heaven-defying spirit root.
Although it was said to be capable of cultivating all things, in all these thousands and tens of thousands of years, no sect had ever encountered someone with the Myriad Spirit Root.
It was truly impossible, or rather, almost impossible, to find a cultivation method suitable for the Myriad Spirit Root in a short period.
Immortal Venerable Qingyun could only temporarily teach her disciple some basic introductory cultivation content.
For ordinary people, the entry-level cultivation was Body Refining. However, Chi Junluo was, after all, an ancient divine beast at the Hunyuan Stage. Even in her current state, she wouldn't have to start from the Body Refining stage. Thus, in Immortal Venerable Qingyun's eyes, her little disciple truly lived up to the Myriad Spirit Root. In less than an hour, she had already surpassed the Body Refining stage, learned Qi Induction, and successfully reached the Qi Refining stage. For ordinary disciples, even those with mediocre talent, the Body Refining stage alone took several years. Even for someone with excellent talent like Immortal Venerable Qingyun, it took a full three months to complete the Body Refining stage back then.
Her newly acquired little disciple's talent was extraordinary. Perhaps she was indeed the fated person Immortal Venerable Qingyun had been searching for.
After Chi Junluo successfully achieved Qi Induction, she truly embarked on the path of cultivation.
Immortal Venerable Qingyun attempted to teach her her own cultivation method, but the results were clearly not ideal.
It seemed that the cultivation method for the extremely rare Myriad Spirit Root was indeed different from that of ordinary people. She might need to search the Scripture Pavilion more thoroughly for information on this matter. If she couldn't find any records or scrolls in her own Xianyuan Sect's Scripture Pavilion, she might have to personally visit the Scripture Pavilions of the other major sects to stretch her muscles.
Immortal Venerable Qingyun reluctantly handed Chi Junluo over to her eldest disciple, Yun Qian. After repeatedly giving instructions, she reluctantly flew away on her sword, looking back three times.
In just these few days, Immortal Venerable Qingyun's attitude towards this new direct disciple named Chi Jun had shocked him to the point of numbness.
Yun Qian, dressed in black, respectfully agreed. The two watched their master fly away from Qingyun Peak on her sword.
Yun Qian looked at his increasingly unreliable master's receding figure with a headache. He didn't realize that his somewhat "dispirited" appearance was being misinterpreted by Immortal Venerable Qingyun's jealous little disciple.
Chi Junluo was so jealous she ground her teeth.
She stared intently at Yun Qian, who, with his golden aura shining above his head, was gazing deeply at his wife's departing back. She thought fiercely, "Young man, even if your black robes avoid this body's sensitive points, I, Chi Junluo, will not let you, a toad who dreams of eating swan meat, off the hook!"
