“I…” Gu Xiaochui glanced at the electric scooter parked not far away, her eyes filled with struggle.
Reason told him that finding a way to join a major sect was the right choice.
But……
He really wanted to study this special magical artifact!
Rong Zi noticed Gu Xiaochui's gaze and suddenly took out a drawing and handed it to him.
"My dear disciple, this is for you."
Gu Xiaochui took the blueprints and subconsciously glanced down at them.
However, after seeing what was drawn on it, his eyes widened instantly. "This is the blueprint for making this magical artifact?"
Gu Xiaochui was excited, carefully looking at the contents of the blueprints, completely absorbed.
"This design is absolutely ingenious!"
Rong Zi took out another blueprint, "This one is for you too."
"What...what is this?" Gu Xiaochui carefully took it.
"The paper talisman gun is still in the research stage. I have almost finished drawing the blueprints. I just need to gather the materials and start refining it."
She always felt that it was too troublesome to use spiritual energy to activate the talisman each time she used it, in order to accurately attach it to a target that was far away.
If we could create this talisman gun, and then make a magazine like a spatial artifact, we could stuff an unlimited amount of talismans into it.
When you need to use it, all you have to do is draw your gun, aim, and it's done in one smooth motion!
She's such a little genius!
As Gu Xiaochui looked at the parts and manufacturing methods drawn on the blueprints, his heart pounded faster and faster with excitement, and his eyes were practically glued to the blueprints.
It's perfect!
This is absolutely perfect!
This kind of ritual implement is completely unheard of and unseen.
The person who could design such a thing must be a genius among geniuses when it comes to weapon crafting!
Before Gu Xiaochui could recover from the shock of the two blueprints, Rong Zi threw another book into his arms.
"And this too."
Gu Xiaochui hurriedly took the book, and after seeing what it was, his legs went weak and he even stammered.
"The Mysterious Heaven Hundred Refinements? This is actually a high-level weapon-refining manual?"
Rong Zi didn't reply, but continued to throw books into his arms, "This one too..."
"The Divine Refining Manual? This...this is actually a Heaven-rank manual! You actually possess a Heaven-rank weapon-refining manual?!"
Even within the five major sects, cultivation techniques or secret manuals of the Heavenly Rank are absolute treasures and closely guarded secrets, and even direct disciples may not have the opportunity to access them.
Only the chief disciple of a sect, who is being groomed to be the next sect leader, has the honor of learning this skill.
And now, this rare and highly sought-after Heavenly Rank secret technique was casually tossed into his arms by Rong Zi as if it were a pancake...
Even more, Rong Zi kept throwing books into Gu Xiaochui's arms.
She frantically searched through the mountain of books in the Hongmeng Ring, handing him each book she found, saying, "This one, this one... and this one..."
As Gu Xiaochui held more and more books in his arms, he was so excited that his hands trembled like he had Parkinson's disease when he saw that they were all high-level or heaven-level books.
He swallowed hard. "Are all of these... a gift for me?"
What merit or ability does Gu Xiaochui possess?
He never imagined that, given his talent, someone would be so determined to take him as a disciple.
Thinking back to how even the gatekeepers of the Shuiyuan Sect looked down on him, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat.
Rong Zi shook her head.
Upon seeing this, Gu Xiaochui immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Was it not for him?
Did she just want him to see her?
Indeed, it's already very generous of Rong Zi to let him take a look at such a precious manual.
However, Rong Zi tilted his head and changed the subject, asking, "These are all for my apprentice. Are you my apprentice?"
Gu Xiaochui paused for a moment, trying to suppress his excitement, and said sincerely.
"Whether or not I give gifts is not important. The main thing is that I sincerely feel that we are destined to be master and disciple in this life."
He clutched the blueprints and books in his arms tightly, and called out to Rong Zi, "Master! From now on, I, Gu Xiaochui, am a member of the Rongling Sect in life and in death, and I will absolutely obey your orders!"
Rong Zi smiled with satisfaction, her eyes crinkling.
She stepped forward and reached out her hand to Gu Xiaochui, intending to pat his head just like she had patted Yun Jing before.
However……
He seems a bit short.
13-year-old Rong Zi is only about 1.5 meters tall.
And 16-year-old Gu Xiaochui has already grown to about 1.8 meters tall...
After her little hands touched nothing, Rong Zi frowned and glanced at the things in Gu Xiaochui's arms.
Gu Xiaochui followed her gaze and looked over.
He nervously hugged the thing in his arms even tighter, when suddenly a thought struck him. He bent down on his knees and lowered his head to Rong Zi's face.
"Master, come here, feel free to touch and rub me~"
A smile touched Rong Zi's eyes as she gently ruffled his hair. "So good~"
If she had known that this would be the way to win him over, she should have just used the weapon-refining manual to subdue him from the start.
After all, she has plenty of books.
...
Finally, Gu Xiaochui, completely satisfied, hugged the blueprints and manuals in his arms and happily became Rong Zi's apprentice.
That appearance...
She looks exactly like a bride who, after receiving an exorbitant dowry, has no eyes for the groom but only for the dowry.
The golden jade stone also successfully recognized its owner through a blood test.
