Chapter 599: Chapter 480: Master Hanmu

Hai Shuangyao’s words shocked everyone; how could a Golden Core Master accept disciples so haphazardly?

This is not an empty statement. The deep bond between a master and disciple is akin to that between a father and son; from then on, the two are like family. Even if the master teaches nothing, the disciple, bearing the title of Golden Core True Inheritance, would be treated by others as they would their master.

Moreover, this is a mysterious, extraordinary late-stage Golden Core!

At that moment, they all began to wonder if Hai Shuangyao understood the implications of accepting disciples. After all, the impression they had of this Zhenren was that of a whimsical young girl, full of curiosity and excessive eagerness to explore.

Lin Le and Jiang Baitao were also dumbfounded. After a few breaths, facing the tiny Zhenren who stood proudly with hands on her hips, Lin Le hurriedly shook his head: "Zhenren, we are disciples of Yunshan Sect and have already inherited a Dharma Lineage. We cannot change sects."

Hai Shuangyao clicked her tongue, "What’s the big deal? I don’t mind. Why are you thinking so much? Just treat me as a Loose Cultivator."

Wang Yu’s heart stirred; treating her as a Loose Cultivator implies she is not one.

What she said was feasible—sects’ members, if they had the opportunity, could worship a Loose Cultivator as a master, and inheriting the Loose Cultivator’s Dharma Lineage was acceptable. Moreover, this inherited Dharma Lineage would also become a part of the sect’s inheritance.

Just like Wu Yan had also taken Jichuan Profound Monarch as her master.

However, the origin of this Golden Core Master is unclear and likely not simple. Moreover, the enemy entangled with her earlier was very peculiar. If Lin Le and Jiang Baitao took her as their master, would it bring trouble to Yunshan Sect?

Lin Le apparently had the same thought as Wang Yu. He was about to politely refuse when Jiang Baitao blinked: "Senior, could we switch?"

Amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd, Jiang Baitao strode forward and cheerfully grabbed Jiang Qingfeng.

"Senior, this is my sister Jiang Qingfeng. She cultivates the Ice Technique, making her the perfect disciple for you."

"Xiaolin and I both give up this opportunity, trading two for one. How about trading for my sister?"

Is this even possible? Could one haggle and switch targets when accepting a disciple? Everyone’s jaws nearly dropped.

However, they evidently weren’t on the same wavelength as Hai Shuangyao. Indeed, Hai Shuangyao started to seriously contemplate.

Jiang Qingfeng was filled with emotion. She patted Jiang Baitao’s head and was about to speak when suddenly Hai Shuangyao spoke.

This adorable little Golden Core Master hesitated, saying, "That makes sense, but I don’t want to take your sister as a disciple. I’m not familiar with her, and she’s not interesting at all."

Is your criterion for accepting disciples really that peculiar?

Jiang Qingfeng actually sighed in relief, yet the next moment, Hai Shuangyao had already shifted before her, gently tapping her own forehead.

A palm-sized, bright blue six-pointed ice crystal coalesced, shimmering like crystal under the moonlight.

"I don’t want to take a disciple, so I’ll give you this." Hai Shuangyao handed the ice crystal to Jiang Qingfeng. "This is a bit of my comprehension on the Ice Technique, consider it a pointer from me."

Jiang Qingfeng was both surprised and delighted, hurriedly receiving the ice crystal, feeling that though it seemed light, it weighed like a thousand jun, making her hands tremble slightly.

Amongst the Profound Monarch’s Collection, there were numerous Ice Technique insights, but they were all ancient. However, the ice crystal before her contained an up-to-date comprehension from a Golden Core Master.

Everyone had witnessed Hai Shuangyao’s adeptness in the Ice Technique during the battle; she was arguably the strongest Cultivator Jiang Qingfeng had encountered so far.

These insights are crucial for advancing her cultivation in the Ice Technique.

This truly was an unexpected joy—initially just hoping to connect with a Golden Core Master, who would have thought she’d end up with such a treasure after a series of events!

Taotao was the key contributor, and Lin Le also deserves credit!

Thus Jiang Qingfeng cautiously accepted the gift, bowing to express her gratitude in the manner of accepting a master’s teaching.

"Elder Hai, may I know your Daoist Name?" she cautiously inquired.

Hai Shuangyao unabashedly accepted her bow with a carefree manner: "I am Master Hanmu, from the Immortal Fall Islands."

Hearing "Immortal Fall Islands," everyone was internally shocked.

It also explained Mi Mengyin’s previous condescending attitude toward this place.

It turns out she is a Cultivator from that Immortal Spirit Paradise!

In the Primordial Realm, originally there were seven continents, named after the Big Dipper. The Yunshan Sect’s current location is the Alioth Continent.

But two thousand years ago, during the True Immortal Calamity, an alliance of twenty-three Immortals fought a world-shattering battle against the initially ascended ten Celestial Monarchs. The heavens and earth were torn asunder, the sun and moon darkened, ocean waters surged, and life was devastated.

One of the seven continents, Mizar Continent, shattered entirely, with most of it sinking into the Star Sea, while the remaining fragments became today’s vast Immortal Fall Islands on the Star Sea.

It is said over ten Immortals perished there, scattering Immortal Spirit Qi and transforming the region, bestowing it immense Spirit Veins and an abundance of Spiritual Objects, with Rare Treasures as numerous as the stars.

Among the six continents, including the Alioth Continent, the overall level of resources and Cultivators is roughly equivalent. However, the Immortal Fall Islands possess far superior cultivation resources, raising the average Cultivator level by a significant degree!

Of course, given its limited total area, even with its overcapacity support for numerous Cultivators, its overall number and strength cannot rival the vast continents.
