Chapter 66: Recruiting Disciples

  Qin Xuan's courtyard was named Yunxiu Garden, derived from the meaning of 'clouds have no intention to come out of Xi'. Zi Xi lived in the left front side of Yunxiu Garden, where there was a separate small yard, which was a courtyard within a courtyard. The rooms were complete with living room, alchemy room, spiritual medicine field and so on.

  Originally, Zi Ye could build a cave on the peak by himself, but Yunxiu Garden was the main residence of the Peak Master. Except for the main courtyard where Qin Xuan lived, there were four small courtyards that were empty, so Qin Xuan let Zi Ye move directly into Yunxiu Garden from the outer gate. Most Peak Masters also made such arrangements, and after their disciples formed a dan, they would be asked to move out and build another cave.

  Looking at the three characters on the door frame of Zi Ye's small courtyard - Qing Feng Ju, Luo Yu was taken aback, "Isn't there another small courtyard called Ming Yue Ju?"

  "Yes, the small courtyard on the right front is called Mingyue Residence."

  Zi Ye has already treated his wound, taken the healing medicine, and can move freely after just a short rest. However, it will take several days to fully recover. At this time, the three of them sat in the courtyard chatting.

  Wang Bin praised: "Master Qin is indeed a refined person! When I built my cave, I wanted to give it a resounding name, but I couldn't think of one, so my cave still doesn't have a name until now."

  "Hehe, to make up for my mistake to Brother Wang, I've thought of a name for your cave abode. Do you want to hear it?" Luo Yu said with a smile, this making up naturally referring to the Hidden Symbol matter, her little thoughts were clear as day to Wang Bin after all these years, he just didn't bother to expose her.

  "Let's talk about it."

  "One is called Weimingju, and the other is called Yimengfu, which one do you like?"

  "Unnamed residence? Reside in the unnamed time; ——One Cry Mansion, if not cry then nothing, one cry shocks people. Hmm, both are good, which one to choose?" Wang Bin released Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, which one do you think is better!"

  Wang Wang, Xiao Hei started barking as soon as it came out. At this time, it was already second-order, but for Wang Bin who had already built his foundation, it didn't help much in battle.

  "What, you say it's not domineering enough, and want to call it the Heavenly Dog Mansion? No way, if I hang up this sign, my fellow disciples will laugh me to death, absolutely not! ... What, the Overbearing Heaven Mansion, no way, wasn't this name eliminated a long time ago? I was 50 years old when I built my foundation and barely qualified to enter the inner sect, but no Golden Elixir True Person was willing to take me as their disciple. If I hang up this name, I'll be killed by everyone in the entire sect..."

  At this time, the Luo Yu siblings only knew that it wasn't that Wang Bin couldn't think of a name, but rather he and his demonic pet Xiao Hei had differing opinions, and these two had quarreled many times over the matter of names.

  "Alright, Xiao Hei, you said the name I chose was too mediocre. I think the one you chose is too... Our opinions are always at odds, why not listen to Luo Yu's suggestion and call it 'Unnamed Residence', low-key yet luxurious."

  Hehe, she casually came up with a name, and it was actually highly praised by Wang Bin. Luo Yu was very pleased and decided to go all out to support him.

  "Unnamed - Unnamed, the dragon is hidden in the depths! Xiao Hei, look at how good this name's meaning is. I thought about it for a long time before coming up with it. Originally, I was going to save it for my own cave, but since I still have some time before building my foundation, I won't be using it anytime soon, so I'm offering it to you."

  "Woof woof!" Xiao Hei barked at Luo Yu twice, then lay down on the ground to sunbathe, wagging his short-haired tail back and forth.

  Without waiting for Luo Yu to ask, Wang Bin explained: "Xiao Hei said that the Hidden Dragon in the Abyss is not good, he hates dragons the most. However, if it's changed to Heavenly Dog in the Abyss, he can barely accept it."

  With a snort, Luo Yu laughed, this stinky little black thing.

  Just as they were chatting and laughing, a man in green clothes floated into Qingfeng Residence.

  "Pay respects to Master!" "Pay respects to the True Man!" Zi Yun and the other two stood up simultaneously and performed the disciple's ritual.

  "No need for formalities!" Qin Xuan swept his sleeve and the three of them stood up in unison.

  This was the first time Luo Yu saw Qin Xuan in person, but seeing him tall and slender, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his appearance was not inferior to Song Ning. However, the aura surrounding the two of them was vastly different, one cold and one warm.

  "I heard you were injured. Is it serious?" A concerned sentence came out of Qin Xuan's pale pink lips, her tone flat, as if it was just a routine inquiry.

  Zi Yun naturally knew his master's temperament, he wasn't unconcerned, it was just a habit of speaking like that.

  "Thank you for Master's concern, I'm fine, I've taken the wound-healing medicine and will fully recover in a few days."

  Qin Xuan's figure flashed and appeared in front of Zi Yun, grabbing his wrist with one hand, examining it briefly before releasing it.

  "Your internal organs have been injured, this is a bottle of solid foundation and nourishing origin elixir, take one pill every day, and you will be fully recovered in three days." As he spoke, he tossed out a jade bottle, the elixir inside was naturally much better than the one Zi Xi had.

  "Thank you, Master!" Zi Ye's voice trembled slightly. He had lost the match, but instead of blaming him, his master not only didn't scold him, but also gave him a medicinal pill. He felt both grateful and ashamed in his heart.

  "Go back to the house and sit down." Qin Xuan nodded slightly, rolled up Wang Bin and Xiao Hei, only said a sentence "You come with me this time.", and then disappeared from view.

  Zi Ye and Luo Yu looked at each other, immediately understanding that Qin Xuan wanted to talk to Wang Bin alone about something, so they took him away directly. It seemed they had gone to the main courtyard of Yunxiao Garden.

  "I haven't even had a chance to introduce you to Master yet!" Zi Ye was filled with regret.

  "Brother——" Luo Yu shook her head, "There will be opportunities in the future. However, I think Wang Da Ge might have good luck."

  "You're saying Master might have taken a liking to Wang Bin and wants to take him on as an apprentice!" Zi Ye's face was filled with incredulity. He had spoken highly of his sister to Qin Xuan many times, but she hadn't shown any interest. Could it be that she wanted to take Wang Bin on as an apprentice just from one meeting? That's impossible!

  Looking at Zi Yun's stunned expression, Luo Yu burst out laughing: "Brother, you'll soon have a junior brother, and he's your iron buddy, isn't that great!"

  "Yes, if Wang Bin can be accepted by Master, it's naturally a good thing. But how did you see it?" Zi Yun still couldn't fully believe it, but his face showed joy.

  "Qin Zhenren looked at Wang Dage with a scrutinizing gaze, yet without malice, so I guessed that he might take Wang Dage as his apprentice."

  "This is just your guess, if it becomes a natural thing, it's good, but why didn't Master see you?" Zi Yun was very entangled, his expression changing back and forth.

  "Alright, brother. Becoming a disciple is not something that can be rushed, it's all about fate. If we're not meant to be, no amount of begging will work, so don't trouble Qin Zhenren for my sake from now on."

  Seeing Zi Ye about to speak, Luo Yu didn't give him the chance. "Don't say anything else, you need to take care of your body now and I also need to prepare for our upcoming match, so I have to go. If there's any news from Wang Da Ge, just send me a message."

  Three days later, Luo Yu received messages from both Wang Bin and Zi Xi at the same time. Qin Xuan had indeed accepted Wang Bin as his disciple, but since he wasn't the first disciple, there was no need to specially invite the Golden Elixir True Person of the sect to witness the ceremony. Only the Sect Leader Liu Changqing and Zi Xi were present. Of course, if they wanted to make a big deal out of it, they could have made it more grand. However, Qin Xuan was a calm and collected person, and if not for the sect's rules, he would have handled things as simply when he accepted Zi Xi as his disciple initially.

  The transmission symbol did not specify the reason why Qin Xuan accepted Wang Bin. After the end of the small comparison between the schools, Luo Yu went to visit Zi Yun and Wang Bin, and only then did he learn that Wang Bin was originally a pure yang physique, but had never been well utilized, so his cultivation speed was not fast. The utilization mentioned here is naturally not referring to xxxx, and if that method were adopted, it could also accelerate the cultivation speed.

  In the air, apart from spiritual energy, there is also yang energy, dead energy, lunar power and so on, which are similar to spiritual energy but have their own differences. Practitioners with a pure yang body have a special method for absorbing yang energy, which can be converted into spiritual energy, increasing the speed of advancement.

  Yang energy is a more intense form of energy than spiritual power, so absorbing yang energy can also have the effect of tempering the body. If one absorbs enough yang energy, they can temper their body to be as solid as that of a cultivator at the same stage. However, the divine abilities cultivated by a cultivator are not something that a pure yang cultivator should hope for. At the same time, if a pure yang cultivator practices body refinement, they will naturally advance faster than ordinary people.

  Luo Yu's face was filled with envy: "Congratulations, Wang Ge!" Then she tilted her head, looking at Wang Bin with interest: "I heard that people with pure yang physique are all handsome and unparalleled, but Wang Ge, you..."

  Wang Bin is quite good-looking, tall and strong, with a square face, wide mouth, thick eyebrows and big eyes, very majestic, but has nothing to do with the so-called handsome.

  "Hehe——" Wang Bin scratched his head, "Master also said that there are exceptions to everything, and my appearance is indeed very deceptive."

  The master is handsome, but he has always shown a cold and calm demeanor to others, perhaps with an intention to conceal. Otherwise, the female cultivators would have swarmed around him, how could he cultivate in peace? Hehe, it's better for me this way, no one pays attention to me, no disturbance, however, I heard that female cultivators who have cultivated special techniques can actually tell...

  Little Hei wagged his tail in the sunlight, thinking to himself, "I've found a great partner, no way can I have any regrets!" This is just like finding a good master! A few days ago, Master gave me a bottle of second-grade beast spirit pills, with 100 pills inside. He told me to finish them before going back to ask for more. Alas, when I was following Wang Bin, in one month I could only eat a few first-grade beast spirit pills. It's hard for me to have even reached the second grade, just thinking about it makes my face covered in blood and tears!
