At the Star Gate, Chu Wanwan's arrival was like a dazzling star, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Chu Wanwan's identity quickly spread throughout the Star Gate. She was Lin Mo's god-sister, a gifted little genius who ascended from a spiritually barren place in the lower realm at the tender age of five.
Moreover, his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the Condensation Realm from the Ascension Realm in just a few days. This news caused quite a stir within the Starry Sky Sect, with disciples flocking to witness the prowess of this young genius.
The leader of the Starry Sky Sect, Qingxuzi, an elderly man with white hair, was also moved upon hearing the news. He personally met with Chu Wanwan and conducted a spiritual root test on her.
When Qingxuzi saw the golden light shining on the spirit-testing stone, his eyes widened in surprise.
"This—this—this is a divine spiritual root? Heavens! A divine spiritual root! With such a spiritual root, no wonder he was able to ascend from the spiritually barren lower realm at the age of five! Hahahaha… Our Starry Sky Sect has struck gold!"
Qingxuzi suddenly burst into laughter, his face filled with joy. He knew that Chu Wanwan, possessing a divine root, was destined for limitless achievements. This was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity for the Star Sect.
A chance to turn things around.
Thinking of this, Qingxuzi stroked his beard, squatted down, and smiled at Chu Wanwan, saying, "Little girl, would you like to cultivate at the Starry Sky Sect?"
"Yes! Grandpa, would you like to take Wanwan in?" Chu Wanwan tilted her little head and asked in a childish voice.
Qingxuzi had no children and never thought he particularly liked children, but seeing Chu Wanwan, this cute and delicate little girl, a feeling of affection welled up in his heart. He smiled kindly and nodded gently: "Of course I'm willing, little girl. You are exceptionally talented, and your future achievements will surely be extraordinary. The Starry Sky Sect will devote all its resources to nurturing you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Wanwan's little face blossomed into a bright smile, as warm and comforting as the spring sunshine. She bowed deeply to Qing Xuzi and said sweetly, "Thank you, Grandpa! Wanwan will definitely work hard in her cultivation!"
"Don't call me grandpa! Wanwan! I'm planning to take you as my last disciple. Are you willing?"
Qingxuzi looked at Chu Wanwan with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.
"No! I have a master, Wuyouzi, who was my master in the human realm. He will also be coming to the Star Gate in a few days. I swear in this life that I will only recognize him as my master!"
Although he may not be able to teach me now due to his current abilities, a teacher for a day is a teacher for life.
"If the old man wants to take on a disciple, how about my master? My master also ascended from the lower realm. To be able to ascend to the upper realm from such a place with scarce spiritual energy is quite extraordinary!"
Chu Wanwan shook her head and answered Qingxuzi earnestly. Although she understood Qingxuzi's good intentions, she felt that Wuyouzi was her master for life.
Besides, she didn't think the old man in front of her could teach her anything better than what the ancient gods had left behind in her space.
Upon hearing Chu Wanwan's answer, Qingxuzi was first taken aback, then a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected this young girl to be so steadfast in her beliefs, and her loyalty and respect for her master filled him with even greater respect.
He smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, since you already have a master, I won't insist. However, I can accept your master as my last disciple. Then you will be my grand-disciple, and you will have to call me Grandmaster."
Chu Wanwan blinked her bright eyes and thought the suggestion was good. She knew that with her master's qualifications, he was just an ordinary person in the Third Heaven.
Even if one could enter one of the ten great immortal sects, it would be impossible for them to become the sect leader's personal disciple.
So she sweetly called out, "Greetings, Grandmaster!"
Upon hearing this, Qingxuzi laughed heartily, his affection for Chu Wanwan growing even stronger. He knew that this seemingly petite girl was not only exceptionally talented but also possessed a resolute character, destined for greatness.
"Lin Mo, take Wanwan to Purple Bamboo Peak and choose a place for her to stay!" Qing Xuzi said to Lin Mo.
"Yes! Sect Leader, this disciple will take her there immediately..." Lin Mo said, bowing and leaving with Chu Wanwan.
Qingxuzi chuckled and instructed his disciples to convene a meeting with the elders of each peak.
Although he didn't succeed in taking the child as his disciple, he did manage to take her as his grand-disciple. In a way, he gained a top-notch talent for the sect.
He wanted to convene a meeting to discuss how to help Chu Wanwan level up quickly. Perhaps in a few years, Chu Wanwan would soar to the top in the sect competition and bring glory to their Starry Sky Sect.
Lin Mo brought Chu Wanwan to Purple Bamboo Peak, one of the places with the richest spiritual energy in the Starry Sky Sect, which regarded it as an important place for cultivation.
On Zizhu Peak, the bamboo forest is lush and green, and a gentle breeze caresses your face, making you feel as if you are in a tranquil fairyland.
"Wanwan, what do you think of this place? Do you like it?" Lin Mo asked, pointing to the several exquisite bamboo houses in front of him.
Chu Wanwan blinked, looked around, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "This place is so beautiful! Brother Lin Mo, I love it here."
"Then choose a room you like to stay in," Lin Mo said with a smile.
Chu Wanwan walked to a bamboo house, pushed open the door, and went inside. The bamboo house was simply yet elegantly furnished, with a wooden bed, a desk, and some basic furniture. Outside the window was a lush green bamboo forest, and sunlight filtered through the bamboo leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
"This place is very nice, thank you, Brother Lin Mo," Chu Wanwan said sweetly.
