Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Become a Disciple
"This, this, this... The Ladder to Heaven is our sect's most precious treasure. How can we give it away so casually? Even if we want to give it away, we shouldn't give it to a young girl who has just joined the sect. How old is she? How can she handle such a magical weapon at her age? This will only harm her!"
"I'm different. I'm older and more accomplished. I'm the one who can best grasp the situation. Why didn't you take a closer look at me, Old Ancestor? Oh my, Old Ancestor, you're so confused!"
Tian Laokou quickly recovered from his shock, slapping his thigh and lamenting, as if he had missed out on 100 million spirit stones.
His voice called back everyone's attention. The other peak masters and elders were originally shocked, but after hearing Tian Laokou's shameless lament, they were left speechless.
Shui Yaoguang sat back in her seat, her hands resting on the armrests of the chair, and glanced at the fat old man with her phoenix eyes.
"Save your energy. The old lady has passed away. Even if you have more to say, she won't be able to hear you."
Everyone fell silent again after hearing this. The last wisp of soul dissipated, and the ancestor Feng Yin had completely disappeared between heaven and earth.
On the other side, Huo Xin and the others who understood the meaning of Tian Laokou's words were all shocked, among whom Guan Dahai and Gao Zhu were the most shocked.
Good god, they were just worried about Yun Miao, but not only did she suddenly have an epiphany, but that weird old ancestor even gave her the Ladder to Heaven?!
Previously, Yun Miao had earned a thousand spirit stones on the boat with a piece of scrap paper, traded a wilted wild flower for a wolf cub from Senior Sister Leng Mo, and with a few words, helped Tan Xiaobai attain enlightenment and earned all his spirit stones as a tribute. They could barely understand all of this, but now they were truly baffled.
That’s a ladder to heaven!
Although their limited knowledge didn't allow them to understand how precious the Heavenly Ladder really was, they knew it was definitely not an ordinary item. Yun Miao had made a fortune this time!
Isn't it said that people should keep their feet on the ground and not always dream of making a fortune? Master Yun, do you think this situation is reasonable?
Several other new disciples were also shocked to the point that their pupils trembled. One of the girls swallowed her saliva and unconsciously played with the big-mouthed golden toad pendant hanging around her waist.
"Is there such a good thing in the world?"
She is also a new disciple. Ancestor, please treat her equally and be kind to her!

"Ding-ling-ling~"
Yun Miao was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone, but when she opened her eyes, she found it was pitch black. She was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was so sleepy that she fell asleep while playing games last night. She even forgot to take off the holographic helmet and slept sitting on the sofa all night.
Like every internet-addicted teenager, Yun Miao felt a wave of shame and regret for wasting his time. He quickly removed his helmet and stood up to stretch his body. Instead of the expected numbness and soreness in his limbs, he felt refreshed and relaxed.
Weird? Why do I feel a little better?
Could it be that she has suffered from brain disorder, nervous disorder, and endocrine disorder due to staying up late?
So Yun Miao, like every fragile college student who cherishes his life and stays up late every day, picked up his phone and started an online consultation for himself with a serious face.
'What are the dangers of sleeping with a holographic helmet on?'
"I slept on the sofa with a holographic helmet on all night, and I woke up the next day feeling a little better. What's going on?"
"Will sleeping in a holographic helmet overnight damage your brain?"
"Will I die if I sleep in a holographic helmet overnight?"
'Wear……'
…
Answer: Since Miaomiao Group independently developed the first generation of holographic helmet basic chips, holographic helmets of various brands have emerged like mushrooms after rain in recent years.
The internal chips of all holographic helmets currently on the market are all produced by subsidiaries of Miaomiao Group. They have a built-in sleep mode, and wearing them to sleep will not damage the brain. Instead, it will improve sleep quality.
Yun Miao, surprised by this, picked up the holographic helmet from the sofa and tapped the touchscreen. After unlocking it with his fingerprint, the dark touchscreen immediately lit up, and a copper-green simplified Chinese character pattern flashed across the screen. It looked very similar to the bronze sundial in the animation for the game "Asking the Three Thousand Questions."
This is the brand trademark of Miaomiao Group. "Ask the Three Thousands" is a game developed by a game company under Miaomiao Group. The holographic helmets given away in the official raffle of "Ask the Three Thousands" are also produced by a holographic helmet research and development company under the group, so they all have this trademark pattern.
Yun Miao habitually ignored this icon, tapped the touch screen a few times, and quickly found the record of 'the system detected that you have entered sleep state and automatically changed to sleep mode' last night.
She was immediately amazed: there really is a sleep mode! Modern technology is truly amazing. If this continues, even if someone flew past her window on a jet-powered flying sword one day, she wouldn't be surprised.
An hour later, after taking care of the problems of washing and breakfast, Yun Miao put on the holographic helmet again, putting aside all the intermittent shame and regret.
Anyway, it's summer vacation now. How can studying be more important than her successfully joining the Xuantian Sect?
When her Taoism skills are perfected, she will sneak into the school and cross out all the eight morning courses, hehehe!

As soon as Yun Miao opened his eyes after coming back online, he found himself sitting on the top of a misty mountain, with a thousand-foot cliff just a step away.
Looking down along the cliff, she could see that the mountain was hanging high in the sky, and right below it was the large lake surrounded by dragon veins that she had seen before.
Beneath her was an extremely wide platform, occupying almost half the mountaintop. The platform's floor seemed to be paved from a single block of white marble, devoid of any color or seams. Atop it stood nine towering stone pillars inscribed with wild cursive script.
The clouds and mist on the edge of the cliff flow gently on the floor tiles of the platform like water, and then slowly flow down along the white marble steps beside the platform. People standing on the platform feel like they are standing in the clouds.
At this moment, a series of system prompt boxes quickly flashed in front of her eyes.
[The player has successfully absorbed Qi into his body, breaking through to the first level of Qi Refining Stage.]
[The player binds the magic weapon to the ladder and it is automatically equipped. ]
[The player breaks through to the second level of Qi Refining Stage.]
[The player breaks through to the third level of Qi Refining Stage.]
[Player…]
…
[The player breaks through to the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage.]
Yun Miao was shocked. She had clearly been trapped in the Heavenly Ladder before she went to sleep, but how could she have instantly transformed from a mortal into a cultivator at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage upon waking up? Even the Heavenly Ladder was hers? Was this a bug?
The prompt boxes in front of her appeared and disappeared quickly. At the moment the last prompt box disappeared, she suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing on her face, and the next second a white-bearded old man stood in front of her.
The old man had white hair and beard, and his hair was tied into a Taoist bun with a wooden hairpin. He wore a yellow Taoist robe with large talismans painted on it. He looked quite immortal as he smiled and stroked his beard in the wind.
"Good disciple, congratulations on passing the test. Your master and the other peak masters and elders have been waiting for you for a long time. Come with me into the hall."
Yun Miao stood up in confusion: "Where is this place?"
Sect Master Chang: "On the Guanyun Terrace on Xuantian Sect's main peak."
Yun Miao: "Who is your disciple?"
Sect Leader Chang: "Of course it's you."
Yun Miao: "Then who is my master?"
Sect Leader Chang stroked his white beard and said, "Of course it's me."
Yun Miao was even more confused: "When did I pass the test, and when did I become your disciple? Why can't I remember?"
"Don't remember? Then do you still remember what you said to the ancestor?"
Sect Leader Chang briefly recounted the story of Yun Miao sitting in meditation for three days and three nights in the Ladder to Heaven, and pointed out the identity of Patriarch Feng Yin and the gift she gave to Yun Miao.
"You should know that this Heavenly Ladder has always been kept by the successive leaders of my Xuantian Sect. Now that it has fallen into your hands, what's going on..."
Yun Miao replied seriously, "So, I will become the next leader of Xuantian Sect?"
"Disciple, you misheard. The Sect Master has the right and responsibility to keep the Ladder. It doesn't necessarily mean that anyone who possesses it will be the Sect Master. Also... I, the old Taoist priest, have no plans to abdicate for the time being."
Sect Leader Chang looked at the young girl in green before him and sighed, "Originally, after your senior brother Qi Shubai, I had no intention of accepting any more disciples. I never thought that this master-disciple fate would come and be unstoppable."
"Once you become my disciple and the headmaster's personal disciple, even if others know you hold the Ladder to Heaven, they won't be able to say anything. And I've also gained a peerless genius disciple whose character and understanding are both top-notch. One day, he suddenly realized something and leaped directly from a mortal to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage. It's truly marvelous! Magnificent!"
He grew happier as he spoke, finally bursting into laughter, his beard twitching as he could. He could already see himself showing off with his talented apprentice, and the envy and jealousy of some old immortals.
However, Yun Miao's words instantly interrupted his fantasy: "What's the benefit of having you as my master?"
"What?"
Sect Leader Chang thought he had misheard.
Yun Miao calmly repeated her question and said, "The elder on the immortal boat said that if I accepted her as my disciple, she would steal the unique skills from you and the elders of the major peaks and teach them to me."
Sect Leader Chang: ...
Tian Laokou and the others, who seemed to be sitting in the hall with dignity, were actually eavesdropping with their spiritual senses: ...
Everyone silently turned their heads to look at Ge Yan.
Tian Laokou complained: [Yan'er, won't you explain?]
Ge Yan lowered her head and seriously studied the pattern on the armrest of the chair, seemingly not hearing Tian Laokou's question at all.
At the same time, Sect Leader Chang straightened his clothes and hummed softly.
"I'm the headmaster. Do you know what a headmaster is? He's the boss of everyone. My junior sister can only steal the unique skills of other peaks first and then come back to teach you. But I'm different. I can take you to learn directly in front of them."
"If you get into trouble, I'll cover for you. If you're bullied, I'll back you up. As long as you hold the title of the Sect Leader's personal disciple, everyone will give you some respect for my sake. If you're willing to perform well, you might even have a chance to run for the next Sect Leader."
"There are so many benefits, it's impossible to describe them all in a few words. In a nutshell, as long as you become my disciple, you can walk freely in Xuantian Sect!"
The author has something to say:
----------------------
The new disciple said shyly: Grandmaster, please love me...
Patriarch Feng Yin calmly raised his hand and slapped him in the face: "Does it hurt? If not, I'll give you a few more slaps for free."
New disciple: QAQ
