The reason for choosing Reverend Shen was not because she only had one disciple.

Rather, it was what Master Zheng said when they had been arguing with each other that touched Gu Dan.

Yuanying Venerables also need to practice, and this level of practice is truly like 'there is no sun or moon in the mountains, and the cold ends without knowing the years'.

Venerable Shen is still relatively young among the Nascent Soul Venerables and has room to grow. It is impossible for him to teach his disciples as wholeheartedly as Venerable Zheng.

What others see as a disadvantage is actually the biggest advantage in Gu Dan's eyes.

It would be best if after we become your apprentices, you just take care of your own things and I take care of mine, and we shouldn't disturb each other except for necessary contact.

"Good! Very discerning!"

After hearing Gu Dan's choice, Venerable Shen immediately laughed. This smile was like a thousand flowers blooming, and his pretty face was like a fully bloomed flower stamen.

To be fair, Venerable Shen is indeed a beauty. Strictly speaking, it is difficult for a truly successful cultivator to be ugly.

Being able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage not only brings about an improvement in cultivation, but also an improvement in the essence of life.

This kind of improvement will passively increase your charm in the eyes of others. That aura that belongs only to the superior is genuine. The higher the level of practice, the more "perfect" you will be.

A beautiful woman in the mortal world is no different from a piece of dry bone in the eyes of a powerful cultivator, but if he is a cultivator of the same realm, he will not have such an idea.

This is also the biggest reason why there are very few powerful cultivators who go to the mortal world to abuse their power. The reason is that everything in the mortal world is nothing to the truly powerful cultivators and is not worth their attention at all.

Only a Qi-cultivating cultivator who has no talent and cannot achieve immortality would go to the mortal world to become a rich man. Otherwise, even if you were a foundation-building cultivator, he would most likely look down on mortal women.

To use a not-so-appropriate metaphor: although they are all human beings, they are like clay figurines and fine porcelain and cannot be generalized.

As for the Yuanying Venerable, it has directly risen from the level of exquisite porcelain to the level of a national treasure with superb craftsmanship!

This kind of beauty is not simply external beauty, but one of the auras emanating from an extremely powerful monk from the inside out.

After Gu Dan announced his choice, except for Venerable Shen, who reacted the fastest and was the happiest, the expressions on the faces of the other Venerables mostly remained unchanged.

Except that the expression on Reverend Zheng’s face was really not very good.

"Although I have many disciples, I have the time and ability to train a large number of disciples. Young people should not make decisions rashly based on beauty. If you are not careful, you will ruin your life."

Reverend Zheng said with some displeasure.

Although he has many disciples, who would think that there are too many disciples with heavenly spiritual roots? As long as they are carefully trained, given the right resources, and do not die halfway, they are very likely to achieve Nascent Soul.

By then, it would be a real help. The relationship between a master and a disciple in the world of cultivation is probably second only to that between a Taoist couple, or even better! After all, the master may also influence the Taoist couple chosen by his disciple, and few Taoist couples can influence the master.

As soon as these words were spoken, Master Shen's face immediately darkened.

This is a word that attacks the heart!

In the world of immortal cultivation, there are quite a few Kun cultivators.

However, the number of Kun cultivators who can reach a high level of cultivation is still much smaller than that of Qian cultivators.

It is a fact that when at a low level, Kun Xiu, who has low strength, is indeed at a disadvantage in some aspects.

But after becoming stronger, Kun Xiu can often get more care and attention - who doesn't want his Taoist partner to be powerful and able to accompany him forever?

As a Kun cultivator without a Taoist partner, Shen Jiangyue did have many suitors, including some Yuanying masters from the Changsheng Sect and even some courageous Jindan cultivators.

However, although some Kun cultivators do have special hobbies and like those cultivators whose strength is far lower than their own, she does not have such ideas and hobbies.

Venerable Zheng used her identity as an excuse, which was already an insult to her.

Shen Jiangyue was about to fight back, but Gu Dan spoke first, "Your Excellency Zheng is wrong. I chose Your Excellency Shen as my master, and it has nothing to do with gender. Although Your Excellency Shen is indeed a beauty that makes people feel ashamed. But as a cultivator, we are naturally devoted to the Tao, so why would we have so many unnecessary thoughts?"

It was a soft but actually hard counterattack, and Gu Dan was not being polite.

After all, he has already chosen his master and it is impossible for him to change his mind.

When Master Zheng used roundabout ways to insult others at this time, he was also insulting him at the same time.

He has no interest in refusing to accept the consequences.

I don't eat a dime of their food. If you don't give me face, why should I give you face? He came to Changsheng Sect to be the pride, not to be a punching bag. He had to endure being bullied by others.

It is true that he wants to join the Changsheng Sect, but that does not mean that the elders of the Changsheng Sect can order him around. A genius has to have the temper of a genius.

Venerable Zheng's face darkened. It was fine that Venerable Shen didn't give him face, but how could a junior who wasn't even a Golden Core dare to be so rampant in front of him?

"Boy, is this how you talk to the elders?"

"I came to the Changsheng Sect to learn the Dao, not to be scolded. If Elder Zheng is willing to teach the younger generation, why not pay attention to your own disciples? You don't need to bother with my affairs."

Gu Dan bowed and spoke very politely.

"you"

"Zheng Zun, calm down. If you can't get a disciple, you can't take it out on other people's disciples, right?"

The youngest-looking Venerable Bai spoke up immediately, interrupting Venerable Zheng.

Some people have been in high positions for a long time, and no matter what the situation, they like to use a tone of teaching.

Thanks to his own strength and status, others often dare not fail to give him face.

If this situation continues for a long time, he will start to take it for granted, as if it is sensible for others to bow their heads in front of him.

As a senior elder of the Changsheng Sect, Reverend Zheng is undoubtedly that kind of person.

It is true that after his own strength has almost reached a point where he cannot make any progress, he has devoted all his extra energy to teaching the younger generation, but this kind of overbearing attitude is really unpleasant.

Ordinary disciples are fine, but the reason why geniuses are geniuses is that, in addition to their own talents, they often have extraordinary tempers.

As the saying goes, extraordinary people often have extraordinary qualities. Can a genius without temper still be considered a genius?

He just became my disciple and we couldn't help but give him a lecture. It's really embarrassing for Changsheng Sect. If you don't know, you might think everyone in Changsheng Sect likes to play this trick.

The apprenticeship has not yet been completed. What if the other party feels that the Changsheng Sect has a bad atmosphere and turns to choose another immortal sect? Wouldn't it be a loss of talent because of a mistake in words? "Yes, apprenticeship is not only based on one's own strength, but also on fate and affinity. It is best if the temperament is similar. It seems that Master Zheng has no fate with this little guy."

Venerable Liu also spoke up to help.

"Alright, alright. We've lived for thousands of years. How can we still get angry over such a small matter?"

Venerable Xu tried to smooth things over, saying, "Everyone else who has nothing to do should go back first. Accepting disciples is a matter of mutual consent. It would be great if it works out, but it's also natural if it doesn't. There is no such thing as forced buying or selling. Our Changsheng Sect is a place where reason prevails. If you are beneficial to the sect, you will be rewarded, and if you are not beneficial to the sect, you will be punished. This will never change, no matter who you are!"

These words already had a slightly scolding tone.

Because Venerable Xu himself is a senior elder of the Changsheng Sect, and in terms of seniority, he is no less senior than Venerable Zheng.

Other venerables might not be able to speak directly due to their status and dignity, but he did not have that concern.

This was both speaking for Gu Dan and warning Zun Zheng to stop playing those tricks on me, as it was simply annoying.

"snort!"

A warning with a hint of dissatisfaction actually led to such a series of sarcastic rebukes, which made Master Zheng ashamed. He flicked his sleeves, glared at Gu Dan, and left without looking back.

"This old guy has quite a temper."

Venerable Xu said helplessly: "Venerable Zheng has a bad temper, but he is not a petty person. He has also made great contributions to the Changsheng Sect. You don't have to take it to heart. He won't deliberately make things difficult for you because of it."

"The juniors understand."

Gu Dan clasped his fists and bowed to thank Venerable Xu for standing up for him.

"Okay, everyone else can go back, only Shen Zun and Kong Zhai can stay."

Venerable Xu waved his hand, and the other venerables did not continue to pester them. Although Kong Zhai was unwilling to worship them as his master, he had joined the Changsheng Sect after all, and was considered a family member. The meat would eventually rot in the pot.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After the other venerables left one by one, Venerable Xu said, "I will not stay here to be an eyesore anymore. You two can discuss it among yourselves."

Having said that, Venerable Xu left the place very decisively, leaving only Shen Jiangyue and Gu Dan in the room.

The two looked at each other, and after their eyes met for a moment, Gu Dan bowed and said straightforwardly: "Disciple Kong Zhai, I pay my respects to the Master."

"ha."

Shen Jiangyue smiled softly. She was quite satisfied that Gu Dan had spoken for her despite the pressure from the elders of Changsheng Sect.

However, "This cannot be considered a formal apprenticeship. Since you are my direct disciple, I must hold a grand banquet and invite many fellow disciples to be witnesses.

However, the sect in Yuantian Realm has not yet settled down, and fellow Taoists from all sides are busy with their own affairs. In addition, it is the time when the demon race is killed, so the banquet can be postponed for a while and held after everything is settled. "

Shen Jiangyue said quite seriously.

As a Yuanying Master, he must have some status when recruiting disciples.

It's not just about bowing in a room and calling someone "Master".

Teaching in person is no different from teaching from one’s own family, and the real skills are passed on.

In the secular world, it is equivalent to adopting a son or daughter. If you really value them, you will definitely call all your relatives and friends to join in the fun.

At that time, fellow Taoists from all sides will come to be witnesses, and of course they will also give a gift to her disciple for her sake.

"Master, what you said is very true."

Gu Dan naturally nodded obediently, and then said: "Zhai has never taken a master since he started practicing in the mortal world. Today I pay my respects to the master, and I also have a gift for the master."

"oh?"

Shen Jiangyue was quite curious, her eyebrows slightly raised. What was the little fellow who hadn't even reached the Golden Core stage going to give her? As a Nascent Soul Master, let alone things at the Foundation Establishment level, even good things at the Golden Core level were mostly useless to her.

However, it is naturally good for the apprentice to have this kind of heart.

Gu Dan directly handed over a storage bag.

Shen Jiangyue reached out to take it, and glanced at it with his mind. His eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"I wonder if this gift is to the Master's liking?"

Gu Dan asked with a smile.

"Is this the Dragon King you worked so hard to kill?"

I have to say that this gift is quite significant, at least Shen Jiangyue herself didn't expect it.

After building his foundation and defeating the Dragon King, the dragon's corpse naturally belonged to Gu Dan.

As we all know, the dragon race is full of treasures, let alone the body of a giant dragon at the Jindan level? The value of this giant dragon's body is not even inferior to the contribution points that Gu Dan can get. It can be said to be his most precious thing, but he gave it to her as a gift without hesitation.

"I have nothing of value. After thinking it over, I can't think of anything that can impress Master. Only this dragon may be of some use to Master. It also has a special meaning to me."

Gu Dan said.

"What's the meaning?"

Shen Jiangyue stared at him and asked with some curiosity.

"When I was alone, I could still build my foundation and defeat the Dragon King with my own efforts. Today I am your disciple and I hope to be able to defeat the Nascent Soul with my Golden Core in the future. Only in this way can I live up to the expectations of my master and my own practice."

Gu Dan said without hesitation.

"Okay, so you were waiting for me here!"

Shen Jiangyue understood Gu Dan's "little thoughts".

Before becoming his disciple, he had achieved the foundation-building stage and defeated the Dragon King through his own efforts. Now that he has the guidance of his master, if he cannot defeat the Dragon King after reaching the Golden Elixir stage, would that be a disgrace to himself or to his master?

If you really want to calculate, the difficulty of building the foundation to attack the golden elixir and the difficulty of the golden elixir to attack the primordial infant are completely different.

There are very few people who can do the former, but it is not impossible. However, there are really few who can do the latter. There are only a few in the world of immortal cultivation.

Even Zhen Chi didn't do it alone.

Gu Dan's words not only pointed out her as his master, but also showed his own pride and ambition. It was very individual and original.

"I believe that with the guidance of my master, I will be able to surpass him. It will not be an empty talk to defeat Yuanying in the future."

Gu Dan would naturally not admit that he was putting pressure on his master.

The Dragon King's body was good, but it was of little use to him to keep it.

Instead, it is better to treat it as a gift for apprenticeship. Firstly, it is valuable enough, and secondly, it has extraordinary meaning.

His disciple was willing to show such great sincerity. As a master, it would be difficult for him to be dismissed with a few small gifts, right? If this was the case, Gu Dan could also see clearly what kind of person Shen Jiangyue was. At most, he could stay away from Shen Jiangyue after getting the chance of the flawless golden elixir. In any case, he would not lose out.

It is difficult to talk about how to deal with people in society, but this is how it works in practice.

"Good, good, very motivated."

Shen Jiangyue put away the storage bag and said, "In that case, I will accept this unique gift. As for the gift for you..." (End of this chapter)
