Chapter 1748 - 1745: The Ceremony of Apprenticeship

Chapter 1748: Chapter 1745: The Ceremony of Apprenticeship

Yang Qingchan only felt that the gaze of this senior was gentle and approachable.

It’s just that upon their first meeting, the other party wanted to take her as a disciple, leaving her a bit confused and unable to react immediately. She could only turn her head to Yang Fei: "Un...uncle."

Yang Fei was initially wary of Xiao Yixian proposing such a thing to Yang Qingchan. At this moment, seeing Yang Qingchan seeking his help, he chuckled: "Qingchan, don’t be afraid. Although this Elder Xiao Yixian is from Wangxian Sect, I’ve heard about him. His character is as noble as my master’s and is well-respected by other cultivators in the Southern Domain’s cultivation world. Being taken as his disciple is a tremendous blessing for you."

Xiao Yixian was pleased and grateful when he heard Yang Fei say this and glanced at him thankfully.

The gaze of Guanglingzi, Qiu Tianshu, and Shen Qingyang also fell on Yang Qingchan, all initially slightly surprised.

This girl indeed seemed to have good talent and a spiritual nature, but she wasn’t such a prodigious genius either.

Given Xiao Yixian’s status, even if he were to take a disciple, he would choose someone with talent like Yang Fei. Why would he be so attentive to this girl?

Only when Yang Qingchan called Yang Fei "Uncle" did Guanglingzi and the others comprehend.

Could it be a deliberate friendly gesture towards Yang Fei?

Trying to use this as a way to get closer to Yang Fei?

But how did Xiao Yixian see the relationship between her and Yang Fei?

Yang Qingchan, upon hearing Yang Fei’s answer, couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Was Uncle suggesting she agree to become this Xiao Yixian’s disciple?

But he was from Wangxian Sect! Didn’t Uncle always resent Wangxian Sect? Why let her join Wangxian Sect?

"Father," Yang Qingchan looked towards Yang Hao.

Yang Hao swallowed and said, "Everything follows your uncle’s decision."

He genuinely had no opinion on the matter.

Although Yang Qingchan was his daughter, such a significant decision felt more suitable for Yang Fei to make.

With her father’s response, Yang Qingchan cautiously said to Xiao Yixian, "I... I’ll listen to Uncle."

Xiao Yixian looked at Yang Fei: "Yang Fei, my young friend, though I have three direct disciples, I truly feel a connection with your niece today and wish to take her under my wing. What do you think?"

Yang Fei glanced at Xiao Yixian and laughed: "Considering the status of an elder like you, if Qing Chan can apprentice under you, becoming your direct disciple is an unparalleled blessing for her. But..."

Xiao Yixian said, "Are you worried because I’m from Wangxian Sect?"

Yang Fei replied candidly, "Indeed. After all, I am a disciple of the Shang Qing Sect, and the actions of Wangxian Sect truly leave me in disdain."

Xiao Yixian frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Perhaps Wangxian Sect’s behavior has been a bit excessive, but the cultivation world is survival of the fittest, filled with deceit and schemes. There is no definite right or wrong. From Wangxian Sect’s standpoint, to rise, it would naturally seize every opportunity to suppress competitors."

As he spoke, he glanced at Qiu Tianshu and Shen Qingyang, continuing, "The Yan Family and Shifang City are similar. Every decision is made based on their benefits."

Yang Fei remained silent.

Xiao Yixian sighed, "I genuinely feel a connection with this girl. If you don’t want her to be my apprentice, I won’t force it. But I hope you consider her best interests. Even if she joins you at Shang Qing Sect, there might not be a formidable person like me to take her as a disciple."

Guanglingzi opened his mouth but eventually said nothing.

Taking a disciple is not just lip service.

In the cultivation world, for any cultivator, taking a disciple means intervening in the disciple’s cause and effect, genuinely investing their time and effort in cultivation.

For powerful figures like them, generally, they no longer take disciples.

Even if they did in the past, it was mostly for sect development, intending to cultivate more talent for the sect, essentially to fulfill the sect’s legacy tasks.

Moreover, Yang Qingchan’s aptitude seemed just average. Even if it was excellent, it wasn’t enough to have a late-stage peak Divinity Transformation expert take her as a disciple.

Yet Xiao Yixian was willing to accept her as a true disciple. This was definitely a monumental opportunity for Yang Qingchan.

Yang Fei noticed Guanglingzi’s expression.

In his heart, he wanted to refuse.

But as Xiao Yixian said, for Yang Qingchan’s future, becoming his disciple was akin to reaching the heavens in a single bound.

With a late-stage peak Divinity Transformation figure to protect her, Yang Qingchan could virtually traverse the Southern Domain Cultivation World unhindered.

"Qingchan, what do you think?" Yang Fei threw the question back at Yang Qingchan.

Yang Qingchan glanced at Xiao Yixian, suddenly showing a determined expression, "Uncle, I... I want to give it a try."

Yang Fei nodded, "Then follow your heart, do as you wish."

Yang Qingchan turned to Xiao Yixian, kneeling respectfully: "Master above, disciple Yang Qingchan offers greetings."

Having heard about some cultivation world etiquettes, she performed the grand gesture of three bows and nine kowtows to Xiao Yixian.

Without tea at hand, she acted on her feet, retrieving a small bottle of genetic liquid medicine from her storage bag, respectfully presenting it to Xiao Yixian: "Disciple offers genetic liquid medicine as tea, to honor Master."

The corners of Guanglingzi’s, Qiu Tianshu’s, and Shen Qingyang’s mouths twitched, their eyes wide.

Even though it was merely a thumb-sized, one or two-centimeter tall glass bottle, it was indeed real genetic liquid medicine.

They felt Xiao Yixian had gained a great advantage.

Even Xiao Yixian himself was briefly taken aback, never expecting Yang Qingchan to offer genetic liquid medicine to him. But being who he was, with a wave of his hand, he accepted the small bottle of genetic liquid medicine.

"Hahaha, good, good. From now on, you are my disciple under Xiao Yixian. As this is our first meeting, I must also give you a meeting gift."

With that, he flipped his palm, and like magic, a Purple and Blue Treasure Sword appeared in his hand.

Guanglingzi and Shen Qingyang’s expressions slightly changed, not expecting Xiao Yixian to be so generous, gifting this Purple and Blue Treasure Sword to the girl.

Yang Fei’s heart skipped a beat, feeling that even though the sword hadn’t been drawn, it still gave him an immensely dangerous feeling.

This was definitely not an ordinary item.

"This sword has accompanied me for over 1,700 years. In the past, I relied on it to dominate the cultivation world, slaying countless adversaries. Today, I pass it on to you. In the future, when you travel abroad, seeing this treasure sword, others will not easily trouble you," said Xiao Yixian.

Yang Qingchan only needed one look to fancy this treasure sword. Naturally knowing that a magic sword collected by a notable figure like Xiao Yixian must be extraordinary, she hurriedly thanked him and accepted it with both hands.

Xiao Yixian also said to Yang Fei: "Now that she’s my apprentice, I can ensure she will at least reach the mid stage of Nascent Soul. As for whether she can achieve greater accomplishments in the future, it depends on her own destiny."

Yang Fei was overjoyed, hurriedly cupping his hands, "Thank you, Elder."

Yang Qingchan was equally thrilled inside.

She was only at the Qi Refining Fifth Stage, and the Foundation Establishment seemed like an insurmountable peak to her. Now, hearing Xiao Yixian say he could guarantee her cultivation to the mid stage of Nascent Soul, she naturally felt ecstatic.
