Qin Bao'er looked on with envy. Just now, the spiritual energy around Lu Ling surged, which was obviously a sign that she was about to form her core. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Elder Fang, what kind of cultivation technique did you give Lu Ling?"

“Low-grade Heaven Rank. Her cultivation level is a bit low right now. I’ll upgrade her to top-grade Heaven Rank when she reaches the Nascent Soul stage.”

"Top quality?"

Qin Bao'er suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Fang Ruotang with longing.

"Elder Fang, do you think I meet the standards for disciples of your Tianyi Sect? I am a single-elemental metal-type cultivator and a sword cultivator."

"But aren't you the young patriarch of the Qin family? How can you join my Tianyi Sect?" Fang Ruotang looked at Qin Bao'er in confusion.

Qin Bao'er said with a serious expression, "Lu Ling is also the heir of the Lu family and can go to the sect to study. This does not affect anything. Although I am the young patriarch of the Qin family, I can also be a disciple of the Tianyi Sect."

"This isn't a good idea! Your father won't have any objections, will he?" Fang Ruotang was a little embarrassed, but not much, since she was already trying to poach members from other sects to expand her sect.

If the heirs of the Qin and Lu families both become disciples of my Tianyi Sect, I have a feeling that these two families will become subordinate to my Tianyi Sect in the future.

You're not mistaken.

【Really? 】

[Really! If you like her, just take her. You've already come to the Cloud Depth Continent, how can you not have a few powerful followers! Actually, I think the Supreme Elder of the Qin family would be quite good; you could have her as your little follower!]

Fang Ruotang: ...

You really dare to dream!

"How about you ask your family? If they agree, I'll take you in."

"OK."

Qin Bao'er was a woman of action. She immediately took out a communication talisman and contacted the Qin clan leader. She didn't mention that Lu Ling had joined the Tianyi Sect, nor did she mention that Fang Ruotang had a powerful cultivation technique. She simply sent a single sentence.

“Father, I want to join Elder Fang’s Tianyi Sect as an inner disciple. She said that this matter requires your consent, so I’m informing you.”

"Alright, you can decide about your cultivation."

"good!"

Qin Bao'er cut off the communication talisman and immediately bowed to Fang Ruotang.

"Master, please accept my bow."

"...Is it really that simple?"

Fang Ruotang blinked, feeling a little uncomfortable.

When my fifth brother was studying, my grandfather even took him to visit several prestigious academies before finally settling on one.

"By the way, now that you've joined my sect, you have to take on the responsibilities of the sect's fourth senior sister..." Fang Ruotang hadn't finished speaking when Qin Bao'er looked up and asked, "Isn't she the third senior sister?"

"Huh?" Fang Ruotang's face was full of surprise. "Isn't Third Senior Sister Lu Ling? She even accepted my cultivation technique. She wouldn't have really run away, would she?"

She looked at the Retrospective Mirror and thought this person was quite good, especially since she had a rare mutated ice spirit root, which is why she quickly and decisively decided to take her in.

Aside from placing too much importance on Qin Bao'er's existence, there were basically no major problems, but in Fang Ruotang's view, this issue was also related to her environment.

If she had such a comparison group from childhood, and even though she was also exceptionally outstanding, her parents still praised the other person while belittling her, she wouldn't like that person either.

“But she didn’t become an apprentice, but I did! Master.” Qin Bao’er finished speaking and kowtowed again.

Fang Ruotang was speechless, and said with a laugh, "It seems you don't disregard her either! Why are you unhappy about her being your junior sister?"

"This title of 'Senior Sister' will last for five hundred years with our current lifespans, while with our aptitudes, it will last for at least three thousand years. Furthermore, in terms of strength, I am currently stronger than her."

"Okay! You're the senior sister, and she's the junior sister."

Fang Ruotang thought for a moment, and didn't say anything about Qin Bao'er. Putting aside the two people's strength, it was indeed Qin Bao'er who knelt here first and called her Master.

"Should I give you an apprenticeship gift?" Fang Ruotang rummaged through the magic bag in the small mirror and said to Qin Bao'er, who was still kneeling in front of her, "Stand up first!"

"If you are a sword cultivator, you can learn this Jade Balance Sword Technique! I'll also give you this Jade Balance Sword. Although this sword technique is only a low-grade Heaven Rank, when used with the Jade Balance Sword, its power is no weaker than a mid-grade or high-grade Heaven Rank. This Jade Balance Sword already has a sword spirit, so you can subdue it yourself!"

When Fang Ruotang took out these two items, Qin Bao'er's eyes lit up. She accepted them respectfully and kowtowed loudly.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Alright! Get up!"

"yes!"

Qin Bao'er then stood up, her eyes fixed on the Jade Balance Sword, looking as if she couldn't put it down.

"In your sects, do the senior sisters help the master teach the junior brothers and sisters?"

"Our masters here are basically the same as you were just now. They give a sword technique and let the disciples practice it on their own. As for the basic cultivation methods, each sect will set up a hall or courtyard for passing on skills. There will be a person in charge who will organize the disciples to practice and learn. On weekdays, the elders of each peak will also come to teach when they have time."

"Oh, okay! So, who do you think would be a good person to take charge? Recommend someone to me." Fang Ruotang didn't know anyone in the Cloud Deep Continent, let alone who to ask.

"It's just basic introductory spells. Senior brothers and sisters in the Foundation Establishment stage can do it, and so can I." Qin Bao'er thought for a moment. Although she didn't have any experience learning in a sect, she knew more than Fang Ruotang.

"How about I?"

Although she had just reached the Golden Core stage, she felt that she was competent enough. However, seeing Fang Ruotang's outstanding performance in everything, she was a little worried that Fang Ruotang would look down on her cultivation level.

"Are you free? It would be even better if you could."
