Chapter 73 Red Thread Becomes an Apprentice
Just as the two were arguing, a hearty laugh rang out.
"Our Five Elements Sect is also very interested in this top-tier disciple with dual spiritual roots. Young friend Chu Nan, why don't you consider our Five Elements Sect? We are the number one sect in Jiangzhou!"
The newcomer was carrying a huge red gourd on his back; it was none other than the Daoist Wine Master.
However, a young scholar was also with him; he was the second Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Five Elements Sect.
But before he could finish speaking, Jian Chen, who was extremely frustrated by the rebuke from the Yin True Monarch, started to mock him.
"Old Drunkard, doesn't your Five Elements Sect only accept disciples with four or five spiritual roots? Can you even teach a genius with two spiritual roots properly?"
After Jian Chen finished arguing with the Drunken Daoist, the anger he had gathered from Han Yuqiu instantly subsided.
The wine connoisseur wasn't embarrassed by being teased; he'd gotten used to it over the years.
Still cheerfully, he said, "What does my taking on a disciple have to do with you? Young friend Chu Nan, don't be misled by Jian Chen. I mainly cultivate the Five Elements Technique, but my Five Elements Sect not only has the Water and Wood Wonders, but also the Spirit Replenishment Technique. Spiritual roots can also be replenished. With all five elements complete, it's hard to be restrained in combat. What a great advantage!"
Jian Chen wanted to refute, but what the Drunken Daoist said was true. The Five Elements Sect was able to become the number one sect in Jiangzhou not only because it had many disciples, but also because it was stronger in combat.
The wine-loving Taoist, who did not inherit the legacy of the ancient immortals, is no less powerful than him, the successor of the ancient immortal lineage.
"Hmph! You've mentioned the benefits of the five spiritual roots, but what about the drawbacks? Why don't you mention them? And what about the disadvantages of replenishing spiritual energy! Replenishing spiritual energy only yields a mid-grade spiritual root at best, which I consider useless! On the other hand, my Taiyin Yin Cultivation Method is purely Yin, yet Yin gives rise to Yang. Even at this level, I can still have all five elements, and the spiritual root I obtain will not be lower than my current grade. This is the truly wonderful method!"
The words of the Yin True Lord made the Wine Daoist scratch his head; he was indeed no match for him.
Feeling hopeless about taking on disciples, Jian Chen sent a telepathic message to Chen Chunan, who had remained silent all along: "Young friend, I suggest you choose the Taiyin Sect. Although Han Yuqiu has only recently established her sect, her strength is indeed the highest among the four of us. Moreover, she is very attentive to her disciples, having nurtured all seven of her direct disciples to the Golden Core stage. Furthermore, she has obtained an ancient immortal cave dwelling, so she lacks nothing in terms of resources, cultivation methods, supernatural powers, and spells. She is far superior to the Five Elements Sect."
Chen Chunan had previously felt that the Taiyin Sect's cultivation methods were more profound, as the principle of Yin giving rise to Yang was more in line with the natural way of Tao.
Upon hearing Jian Chen's telepathic message, he was already inclined towards the Taiyin Sect.
He then sent a telepathic message to the senior, thanking him: "Thank you for the reminder, senior."
Although he also hoped that his sister could follow him on the path of the Golden Core, the path of the Golden Core was indeed fraught with danger, and tribulations arose from the heart.
It is difficult for those who do not possess exceptional mental and spiritual qualities to attain enlightenment.
The red thread, with its top-grade dual spiritual roots of water and wood, has been confirmed to have exceptional talent in the realm of spiritual energy.
By suggesting that she switch to cultivating the Golden Core Dao, he was essentially gambling with a clear future for an unknown outcome.
Therefore, it's better to focus on cultivating spiritual energy first, and then switch to cultivating the Golden Core path later if one can reach that level.
Wuzhen said, "The magnificent golden elixir is formed in a single day."
If one can comprehend it, attaining enlightenment in a single day is not a rare occurrence; if one cannot comprehend it, even if one studies diligently for a lifetime, one will still only remain an outsider.
Just then, the red line also completely stabilized its realm.
Her newfound magical power made her feel that the world was very different from before.
I couldn't resist trying out the feeling of flying, and after successfully taking off, I couldn't help but let out a crisp laugh.
She then rushed out of the room to tell her brother the good news.
But as soon as he stepped out the door, he found that the Nascent Soul cultivator, Ji Yin Zhenjun, and three unfamiliar strangers were looking at him as if he were a precious treasure.
The Yin True Lord could no longer restrain himself when he saw Chen Hongxian, who was still in the form of a little girl.
"Young lady, how old are you?"
The wine connoisseur spoke a moment too late, and then looked expectantly at Chen Hongxian.
Hongxian had little contact with outsiders since childhood, and now she was somewhat panicked and hid behind Chen Chunan.
Chen Chunan gently patted her back to comfort her.
She then answered on his behalf: "Hongxian is 10 years old this year, and will celebrate her 10th birthday in July."
"By the Five Elements Ancestor! A Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 10! And a superior-grade Foundation Establishment at that! This talent is so great that even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator wouldn't be out of reach!"
The Daoist was flushed, overwhelmed with excitement.
The Yin True Lord Han Yuqiu stirred up a storm.
As a child, she was fortunate enough to enter an ancient immortal cave and cultivated the ancient immortal's true method. In terms of spiritual roots, she was also a top-grade water and wood dual spirit, but she did not reach the Foundation Establishment stage until she was 16 years old!
That's a difference of six years!
The resources she enjoys are far beyond what this girl in front of her can compare to.
Thinking about this, she was filled with deep regret.
If only she had paid more attention to Chen Chuchu's family back then.
Since we're both in the Cold Moon Cave, I could easily take advantage of my proximity and bring his sister under my wing. Why would I need to compete with these old guys?
Seeing that the Five Elements Sect's Daoist was still in shock, she quickly interjected, "Red Thread, is it? I am Han Yuqiu, the leader of the Taiyin Sect, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and also possess dual spiritual roots of water and wood. Your spiritual roots and talents are truly perfect for cultivating my sect's wondrous Taiyin Refinement Technique. Would you be willing to become my disciple? My sect is a legacy of ancient immortals. Although I cannot guarantee that you will also become an immortal, achieving the Nascent Soul stage is merely a matter of course!"
Han Yuqiu's words were not an exaggeration. She established the Taiyin Sect by inheriting the legacy of an ancient immortal, but she was already at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm when she was just over a hundred years old.
And aren't people like Jiu Daoren and Jian Chen old men who have lived for thousands of years?
Hearing that Han Yuqiu had acted without regard for martial ethics and taken the initiative first, the Drunken Taoist also became anxious.
"Young lady, although my Five Elements Sect is not an ancient immortal lineage, it is the largest sect in Jiangzhou."
"The Five Elements Sect is the number one sect? Do you even consider my Taiyin Sect a threat? Your brother was there during the battle at Pingjiang. Ask him who was truly superior."
Chen Chunan: ...
Why don't you two go outside and have a fight? Find out who's better and then come back.
Seeing the two arguing, Chen Chunan had already made up his mind.
Becoming a disciple of the Extreme Yin Sect is indeed an excellent choice.
If you find a master who cares about his disciples, your future achievements will be quite good.
The Golden Elixir has a lifespan of a thousand years, and the Nascent Soul has a lifespan of three thousand years. After a thousand years, one should be able to become an immortal, right?
If the Red Thread doesn't become an immortal by then, it won't be too late for me to help her become one myself.
Thinking of this, Chen Chunan pulled the red thread and whispered a few words to her.
Having experienced a major upheaval in her family, Chen Hongxian is no longer the naive child she once was.
She knew very well that her family had provoked an enemy they couldn't afford to offend, which was why they had to run so far. If they could become disciples of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, her brother could also receive a great help.
Moreover, her brother also said that if he were to attain enlightenment in the future, he would guide her to the Golden Core Path and help her achieve the status of a Celestial Immortal.
After thinking it over, he immediately knelt down before Han Yuqiu: "This disciple is willing to join the Taiyin Sect and serve Master!"
Han Yuqiu beamed with joy: "Good, good, good, my good disciple. This is a treasure your master used before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, called the Qiankun Pad. It contains a world within itself, capable of storing items and defending against enemies. Ordinary Golden Core cultivators cannot break through it. This is..."
Watching Han Yuqiu take things out one by one, Chen Chunan was completely relieved.
It wasn't that he coveted any magical treasures or elixirs, but rather that you could tell whether a master truly cared for his disciple by how he treated him.
The Wine Daoist looked at the red thread and chose Han Yuqiu, feeling a pang of jealousy: "You really got lucky. Such a good seedling, as long as he doesn't slack off, reaching the Nascent Soul stage is just around the corner."
Han Yuqiu was very happy to hear this, but then she remembered that Qiu Feng had not yet been beaten.
He quickly said, "My disciple has just become a disciple of our sect. Shouldn't you two, as elders, offer your support?"
