Chapter 484 Extra Chapter: Yu Sheng X Chi Jinhan Extra Chapter (Part 3)
Seeing that Chi Jinhan was stammering and couldn't give a coherent explanation, Yu Sheng rolled her eyes, poked his chest hard with her fingertip, and said, word by word, "Mind your own business!"
Yu Sheng turned and left under Chi Jinhan's stunned gaze. By the time Chi Jinhan came to his senses, Yu Sheng was nowhere to be seen.
Only the faint warmth remaining on my chest testifies to what had just happened.
He frowned and scoffed in the direction Yu Sheng had left, "It's not like anyone wants to talk to you..."
However, not long after, someone proved them wrong.
At the apprentice-acceptance ceremony, he immediately recognized Yu Sheng, who was hiding in the crowd. He silently walked to Yu Sheng's side and poked Yu Sheng's arm.
"Hey? If you really want to cultivate immortality, how about considering becoming my disciple? Following me is much better than following that swindler upstairs."
Yu Sheng glanced at him indifferently, her eyes filled with blatant disdain.
"No way, what kind of look is that?! Am I, a dignified disciple of the Immortal Sect, not worthy to be your master?"
"That old man up there is at most a Golden Core cultivator, and a heretical one at that. Do you want to be his disciple so he can drain your life force and make you a quick reincarnation?"
Besides, he looks much better than that old, ugly, and lewd evil cultivator above, doesn't he?
Being Chi Jinhan's disciple is not a bad deal. Even if someone has the most useless five spiritual roots, he can use rare and precious materials to help them reach the Golden Core stage. If this were in the cultivation world, a lot of people would be eager to become his disciples, but he wouldn't even look at them.
No, if I and Yu Sheng become master and disciple, wouldn't that be incest?
Could it be that this is why he refuses to become his apprentice?
Chi Jinhan once thought he had found the truth.
Yu Sheng found it very noisy, with endless chatter in her ears. Was this person born as a crow?
Chi Jinhan covered his mouth sullenly, and after realizing what had happened, he was so angry that he was about to explode.
What a spineless fellow!
You just believe whatever people say, right?
Not to mention Yu Sheng, even Chi Jinhan himself felt ashamed.
Yu Sheng sighed and whispered in Chi Jinhan's ear, "I also have cultivation. I came to Liaocheng this time for two reasons: first, to hone my skills and temper my mind; and second, because of this evil cultivator. Evil cultivators harm the people and must be eliminated!"
"Fellow Daoist is also a disciple of a celestial sect. May I ask which sect or school you belong to?"
"A rogue cultivator, without any sect or faction."
"What a coincidence, me too~" Chi Jinhan's voice was languid, and his gaze towards Yu Sheng carried an unreadable emotion. "My name is Chi Jinhan, may I ask how you should address me?"
The name surprised Chi Jinhan.
Seeing this, Yu Sheng emphasized, "It's Yu who spares no effort."
Chi Jinhan breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought it was the famous Immortal Venerable Yu Sheng from the Sword Sect. It seemed that it was just a coincidence of names and surnames, and definitely not the same person.
Although it was a pseudonym, Yu Sheng didn't put much thought into it. If anyone had been more careful, this disguise would have been exposed.
As for why Chi Jinhan dared to use his real name, it was because nobody knew him at all.
He Chi Jinhan is the Three Immortal Venerables.
No one has ever heard of him, seen him, or recognized him; he even gave himself the title of Immortal Venerable.
On stage, Xie Xiu was still eloquently recounting the glorious history of his sect, but in reality, Yu Sheng and the others had never even heard of the sect he was talking about.
"I have calculated with my fingers and found that Liaocheng is destined for me, and my destined disciple is among you!"
Xie Xiu scanned the crowd one by one, and finally his gaze inadvertently landed on Yu Sheng and Chi Jinhan.
After all, these two people were simply too conspicuous among the crowd of excited and envious ordinary people.
"Immortal Master, may I ask where your esteemed disciple is now? We will certainly treat you well, but we only ask that you consider taking on a few more disciples..."
“What the city lord says is true. That is only natural. Since I came here for my disciple, it also shows that I have a connection with Liaocheng. In that case, why not take in a few more children with spiritual roots?”
In this way, he was able to raise his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm using a secret technique.
Xie Xiu almost burst out laughing when he thought about it.
He took out a spirit-testing stone and looked at his future sustenance... no, his future disciples with a smile.
"I'll go first!" The young master of a wealthy merchant, dressed in white, waved a white jade fan, exuding an air of importance.
He glanced disdainfully at the crowd below the stage, then carefully placed his hand on the spirit-testing stone, which flashed yellow, red, and blue.
"Earth, Fire, and Wind spiritual roots, not bad, not bad. Although it's a three-elemental root, one of them is a mutated spiritual root. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Fu Shang was extremely excited and solemnly performed the apprenticeship ceremony, saying, "Disciple Fu Shang greets Master!"
With Fu Shang taking the lead, the others also eagerly joined in.
However, this is, after all, the mortal realm where spiritual energy is scarce. It's already good enough for ordinary people to have spiritual roots, let alone geniuses with single spiritual roots. After all that effort, only one person with dual spiritual roots and two with triple spiritual roots emerged. The rest had four or five spiritual roots.
Xie Xiu's brows were so furrowed they could trap a fly.
He had guessed that there would be few talented disciples, but he hadn't expected there to be so few. He had only taken in fifteen disciples with spiritual roots in total, which made him look rather unwell.
If it weren't for the strict investigation by the Immortal Cultivation Alliance and the major sects, he wouldn't have had to come to the mortal realm to recruit disciples.
He accepted all those with spiritual roots.
Even a small mosquito is still meat; every little bit of improvement in cultivation is a little bit better than nothing.
Xie Xiu's gaze fell on Chi Jinhan and Yu Sheng, who had been watching. These two hadn't come up yet, and he had a feeling that they might have spiritual roots.
Meanwhile, Chi Jinhan was harassing Yu Sheng.
"Sheng Sheng, when are we going to make our move? I've been annoyed with that old man for a long time..." He kept staring at him and Sheng Sheng, and I really wanted to gouge his eyes out.
"How can you take action without evidence? The people here clearly support him. What if you accidentally hurt them if you take action now?"
Chi Jinhan nodded repeatedly, "Sheng Sheng, you're so amazing!"
Yu Sheng: Ha, isn't this the time when you were mocking me before?
"Why don't you two young friends try to see if you have any affinity for immortality?" Xie Xiu finally decided to target Yu Sheng and Chi Jinhan.
"I'm too lazy to cultivate immortality. This thing is exhausting, requiring early mornings and late nights. Whoever wants to go can go, but I'm not going! Besides, they're all people with three, four, or five spiritual roots. If they're lucky, they might even be able to cultivate to the Golden Core stage before they die!"
But by then I was already an old man with a white beard, and I was still thinking about getting married, so I didn't get involved.
Chi Jinhan's few words infuriated Xie Xiu.
Xie Xiu reasonably suspected that Chi Jinhan was implying something about him, but he had no evidence.
Yu Sheng: Don't worry, he's just implying something about you.
Fu Shang flicked his sleeve and sneered, "How can there be such an unambitious and lazy person as you in this world! You deserve to be an ordinary person your whole life!"
