Chapter 1150: Chapter 634: Third Generation Storefront Chapter 1150: Chapter 634: Third Generation Storefront I should have tested her Spiritual Root first.

Now that I’ve spoken, as the Sect Leader of the largest sect in the Eastern Wilderness, I can’t just go back on my word and change my mind on the spot.

Forget it, my own face is more important; I can’t lose face in front of my two disciples.

Chen Mobai thought about it and repressed his desire to take on a new disciple. His dignified and authoritative persona, his word being as invaluable as gold, couldn’t be tarnished by this little girl.

“Master, what’s wrong?”

Luo Yixuan, who was by his side, had her attention fixed on Chen Mobai. Upon seeing him stare at the palm of his hand, lost in deep contemplation and displaying a conflicted gaze, she couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s nothing…”

Chen Mobai shook his head, about to store the Spirit-Testing Instruments back into his Storage Bag when suddenly, something occurred to him, and he looked straight at Luo Yixuan.

“Master?”

Luo Yixuan, feeling somewhat uneasy under his gaze, worried that there might be something wrong with the Ghost Pill she had condensed, her eyes beginning to show a hint of panic.

“Xuan, you’re not getting any younger. Now that you’ve achieved Core Formation, your cultivation has reached a peak. Haven’t you considered taking some disciples to carry on the lineage of your master’s Xiao Nanshan and enhance its glory?”

Chen Mobai couldn’t afford to slap his own face, but it seemed a pity to let such an outstanding Fire Spirit Root talent slip through his fingers without making an effort.

Upon seeing Luo Yixuan, the solution came to him at once.

They lacked a third-generation Eldest Disciple in the Xiao Nanshan Lineage who could uphold the sect’s prestige. So why not let her, who had just formed her core, take Han Zhiling as a disciple? It would be killing two birds with one stone.

Liu Wenbo, who was to one side, couldn’t help feeling a little surprised after hearing this.

But even more astonished was Han Zhiling herself.

She had never anticipated such a turn of events. Although she couldn’t become a second-generation disciple directly under Chen Mobai, the possibility of becoming a disciple of Luo Yixuan, who had also achieved Core Formation, filled her with unexpected joy.

After hearing this, Luo Yixuan hesitated.

The thought of Chen Mobai asking her to take on disciples had genuinely never crossed her mind.

Although she was obedient, according to the Xiao Nanshan rules, once she accepted disciples, she would be responsible for them for a lifetime.

Luo Yixuan didn’t think she was as responsible as Chen Mobai. If she accepted Han Zhiling as her disciple and later failed to teach her diligently, Chen Mobai would find out and punish her.

So, she quickly thought of an excuse and tactfully declined.

“Master, I’m actually still young… and neither the Eldest Disciple nor Senior Sister Zhuo have taken any disciples. If I were the first, wouldn’t that be presumptuous?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai didn’t insist. After all, under his own leadership, everyone in the Xiao Nanshan lineage held the master-disciple relationship in high regard.

Moreover, Luo Yixuan’s temperament was indeed not suited for teaching others. If Han Zhiling were put under her care without constant supervision, she might indeed stray from the path.

“Wen Bo, what do you think?”

Since Luo Yixuan did not want to take on disciples, Chen Mobai could only offer the opportunity to the Eldest Disciple present.

“If Master instructs, I naturally obey, but as I spend ninety percent of my time traveling throughout the Eastern Wilderness, having Han as my disciple might hinder her cultivation.”

Liu Wenbo spoke truthfully. As the leader among the second-generation disciples, Chen Mobai trusted him the most with matters, but taking Han Zhiling as a disciple might indeed lead to more delays.

He couldn’t let her simply tag along with Liu Wenbo in his business ventures; after all, she hadn’t yet reached Foundation Establishment and was at a critical phase of Qi Cultivation and establishing her foundation.

Meanwhile, Han Zhiling’s emotions surged. From excitement to disappointment, then hope and disappointment again, her feelings fluctuated.

Her tenacity, nurtured since childhood, began to wane slightly as her lips pursed and her eyes reddened.

As expected, the Sect Leader’s standard for taking disciples was too high, and she had not captured the attention of either Uncle Liu or Uncle Luo.

Just as she felt dejected and doubtful of herself, Liu Wenbo spoke up again.

“How about, let her go farming with Shimei Zhuo?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but agree.

Considering Zhuo Ming’s temperament, Han Zhiling following her would actually be the best fit.

Not only would she be able to stay and cultivate within the sect, but she could also help to take care of the Spirit Fields, alleviating the increasingly heavy burden on Zhuo Ming.

“Han girl, you were the first student I selected personally from the Longevity Academy, and we’ve met here at the Flying Dragon Pool, showing the deep fate between you and my lineage,” Chen Mobai said.

“However, I don’t take Qi Cultivating Disciples. If you’re willing, after completing your watch duty at the end of the year, come to Xiao Nanshan and follow Ming’er for a while.”

“If you get along well and Ming’er has no objections, I will personally oversee your initiation ceremony. How about that?”

Chen Mobai’s tone made Han Zhiling feel an unprecedented sense of respect. The eminent Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect was actually considering the wishes of a mere Qi Cultivating Disciple like her.

She immediately nodded her head repeatedly, indicating she would comply with the Sect Leader’s arrangements!

“Hahaha, good, Wen Bo, stay behind and introduce the rules of Xiao Nanshan to Han and find a new watcher for these two Green Charm Spiritual Trees planted at the Dragon Vein Tributary. Also, after that lad at Dragon Horn Trench finishes drawing the Qi of Dragon Vein, think of a reason to call him back; deal with it as you see fit,” Chen Mobai said.

Liu Wenbo, understanding the unspoken parts about the Restoration Society, nodded in acknowledgment.

“Xuan, back to the sect!”

As Chen Mobai spoke, a multi-colored glow rose beneath his feet, quickly transforming into a cloud.

Luo Yixuan floated up gracefully, looking like a celestial being as she landed on the “Red Misty Cloud Silk.”
