Chapter 397 Background Material in Cultivation Novels 1
At the annual sect's disciple-acceptance ceremony, the ethereal fairy, who has never accepted disciples before, is about to take on one.
This is the most senior fairy in the Immortal Sect. If the Heavenly Ladder hadn't been destroyed, she would have ascended to the Upper Realm long ago.
Several top-quality single-elemental disciples emerged at this apprenticeship ceremony, with one top-quality mutated lightning elemental disciple being highly sought after by everyone.
Because he is only twelve years old, he already has the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment. Given time, he will definitely become a famous genius in the cultivation world.
Everyone knows that those with mutated lightning spiritual roots have no difficulty advancing in cultivation levels; the lightning tribulation is simply a benefit for them.
Just then, the ethereal fairy descended from the sky, dressed in black with an otherworldly air. Everyone in the Immortal Sect lowered their heads after just one glance at her, and a strange feeling arose in their hearts: a sense of shame.
"Welcome, Grandmaster Uncle."
"(Welcome, Ancestor.)"
The sect leader of Xianwu Sect was the first to return to his senses and bow to the ethereal fairy.
The others followed suit and bowed.
The sect leader brought out a table and chairs, served spiritual fruits and tea, and invited his grandmaster uncle to sit down.
Ning Yan didn't stand on ceremony. After sitting down, she raised her hand and said, "No need for formalities. I've been having some free time and am planning to take on a disciple. Please continue."
The disciples were all incredibly excited. Everyone knew that the Immortal Sect's Misty Ancestor had lived for nearly ten thousand years and was the number one cultivator in the cultivation world. If they could become her disciples, wouldn't they be able to walk sideways in the cultivation world?
"Grandmaster Uncle wants to take on disciples? Then these disciples will naturally be chosen by Grandmaster Uncle."
"This one, his name is Mei Yixing, he has a top-grade lightning spiritual root, and he's already at the Foundation Establishment stage at only twelve. Grandmaster Uncle, please accept him as your disciple; he certainly won't let you down."
Ning Yan glanced at the other party. The boy was cold, and his eyes lacked the confusion and curiosity of a new disciple, and even the fear. They were dark and boundless.
She turned her head to the side. "You guys were having a good time grabbing it, so I won't fight you for it. Let's see what happens."
Mei Yixing suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with confusion. He was clearly the most outstanding among the new disciples, so why wouldn't the patriarch accept him as a disciple?
The sect leader dared not disobey this master's wishes, as this was the strongest fighting force of their Immortal Wu Sect. Although the grandmaster seemed ethereal and easy to talk to, she was not an easy person to talk to at all.
"Alright, then let the remaining new disciples come over so that Grandmaster Uncle can make his selection."
Ning Yan didn't object, mainly because she didn't want to waste time here.
One by one, the new disciples stepped forward and introduced themselves. The first one was a dazzlingly beautiful girl, "Disciple Sheng Xinyue, with a top-grade wind spirit root."
Ning Yan remained unmoved. When Sheng Xinyue saw that the fairy did not choose her, tears welled up in her eyes. Fortunately, the sect leader and other elders fought over her, and in the end, she became the personal disciple of True Monarch Minghua.
After a long while, it was announced, "Disciple Lin Fenghan, Fire and Wood Heaven-grade Spiritual Root."
After Lin Fenghan finished speaking, he stepped back. If so many top-grade disciples with single spiritual roots didn't even look at him, then they would look down on him even less.
Unexpectedly, Ning Yan easily pulled him close with a flick of her fingers. "Lin Fenghan, are you willing to be my only disciple?"
Lin Fenghan was completely dumbfounded. How could he be the only disciple? Did the fairy mishear? He has dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, not a single spiritual root of the highest grade.
"What? You don't want to?"
The fairy's voice was still so gentle, but he could clearly hear a chill in it.
“Brother, I am willing.”
He was truly willing, almost ecstatic! Such a beautiful immortal venerable being actually taking him as a disciple—was he dreaming?
"That's more like it. Let's go back to Misty Peak with me."
Ning Yan ignored the expressions of the other disciples and waved her hand to use her spiritual power to wrap Lin Fenghan and return to Misty Peak.
"This is my territory. Apart from the main hall for receiving guests and my sleeping quarters, you may choose any other place as your residence."
Lin Fenghan's eyes lit up: "Then can I sleep next to Master?"
Ning Yan nodded: "Of course. However, there are too few people on Misty Peak, so I need to select a few handymen disciples to take care of you. Please wait a while."
"Master, I can take good care of you."
Ning Yan: "No, you can't."
I don't know what the original owner was thinking. Why would she choose the most difficult life instead of having someone to serve her? I don't know what she was after.
She took out a communication jade slip and sent a message to the sect leader. The sect leader didn't care about the disciple-acceptance ceremony anymore and immediately selected twenty outer disciples to personally send to Misty Peak to take care of his grandmaster.
After examining the faces of these people, Ning Yan dismissed four of them and then gave each of them a token for entering and exiting the formation.
"From now on, your task is to serve me and my disciples. Are there any of you who can cook?"
A female cultivator quickly raised her hand, "Fairy, this disciple is Diao Zui. This disciple can cook, this disciple is an expert cook."
Ning Yan nodded in satisfaction. "Of course you can cook. After all, you have the God of Cooking System. Otherwise, why would I have kept you here?"
"Alright, from now on, the small kitchen on Misty Peak will be under your management. When you get back, draw up some rules: anyone who wants to eat at your place will have to pay with spirit stones. With spirit stones, your cultivation level will improve faster."
The higher one's skill level, the better the food they make. Wouldn't she be the one to benefit?
"Your disciple obeys."
Ning Yan then pointed to four outer disciples, "You will be responsible for miscellaneous tasks on Misty Peak. If you do well, I will reward you."
Of the remaining eleven people, four female cultivators stayed in the main hall to serve her, one was the manager of Piaomiao Peak, and the other six took care of Lin Fenghan.
After arranging everything, Ning Yan asked Lin Fenghan to come forward and said, "Stretch out your hand."
This kid is very hardworking. He has dual spiritual roots and has already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining at the age of sixteen. Although he is not as good as Mei Yixing, he is much better than many others.
"Your previous cultivation method was too poor, which affected your advancement speed. Your master is now giving you two options: one is to abandon your spiritual power and start cultivating from scratch, and the other is to give you the most suitable cultivation method."
Secondly, your master will help you modify your practice method, and you can continue practicing, but you may have to endure some hardship, such as taking medicinal baths every day to change your physical constitution.
Of course, you can maintain the status quo, although your cultivation level will improve more slowly. But steady progress is also good, and your master won't put too much pressure on you or force you to grow too quickly.
Lin Fenghan replied almost without thinking, "Master, I want to become stronger and bring glory to you. I choose the first path!"
From the moment his master chose him instead of Mei Yixing, he had a firm belief: he must never let his master lose face.
What's wrong with having two spiritual roots? He will definitely work hard to cultivate and never let his master down.
Ning Yan: I will not be disappointed, because my disciple is no worse than anyone else.
He took out three pills from his storage ring and said, "Eat these, and your master will watch you lose your cultivation."
Don't worry, you won't feel anything, it won't hurt at all.
Lin Fenghan ate it without hesitation. He believed that his master would never harm him, because his master could deal with him as easily as crushing an ant.
"Let's sit cross-legged and meditate."
However, at the mere Qi Refining stage, it's easy to lose one's cultivation.
