I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, Toyokawa has arrived." The guard stood outside the main hall and reported solemnly.

"Bring him in!" A clear yet authoritative voice echoed from inside the hall.

"Yes," the guard replied, then led Toyokawa into the main hall.

They stopped in front of a woman in white.

"Sect Master." The guard bowed respectfully.

Upon seeing this, Fengchuan immediately cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Disciple Fengchuan greets Sect Master."

"No need for formalities," Bai Linglong replied, then turned to the guard and said, "You may leave now."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." The guard replied and then withdrew.

At this moment, Bai Linglong turned her head and looked at Fengchuan.

Bai Linglong: "You're Feng Chuan?"

Toyokawa: "Reporting to the sect leader, this disciple is indeed the one in charge."

Bai Linglong: "How's your cultivation lately? What realm have you reached?"

Fengchuan: "Reporting to the sect leader, I haven't made any significant progress yet; I've just entered the bone tempering stage."

Unaware of the sect leader's intentions and fearing that his secret would be exposed, Fengchuan falsely reported his current cultivation level.

This is a rough estimate of progress made by Toyokawa based on the records in the book and his own aptitude, and it should not arouse any suspicion.

Besides, he has specifically cultivated the "Silent Spirit Technique," so surely no one will notice anything amiss?

But little did Fengchuan know that the person before him was fully aware of his cultivation level.

Don't tell me you've practiced some kind of concealment technique.

In the eyes of high-level cultivators, this level of cultivation makes no difference whether they have cultivated it or not.

It will still be crystal clear to you at a glance.

Besides, Sect Master Bai doesn't even need to look at it.

We've already sent people to monitor us around the clock, 24/7, from all angles!

It's just that one day, Sect Leader Bai might get interested and want to know what kind of underwear you, Fengchuan, wear, and what color it is.

It's just a matter of saying a few words.

Bai Linglong sneered inwardly when she heard Feng Chuan's reply.

'This kid, still trying to play dumb with me?'

For a moment, he stared at Toyokawa with a strange look in his eyes.

Feng Chuan felt a little uneasy after being stared at by Bai Linglong for a while.

'I hope they won't find out?' Toyokawa thought to himself.

Bai Linglong thought to herself, "This kid is quite cautious. He knows how to hide his true abilities!"

However, it's good to be cautious. Among those who cultivate themselves, how many careless people can survive for more than two episodes?

However, Bai Linglong had no intention of letting Feng Chuan off the hook and directly undermined him.

"Oh, really?"

The sect leader has heard that since the new disciples officially began their cultivation, many of them have made quite good progress.

However, some individuals, after three months of practice, made absolutely no progress.

The key point is that, according to the qualification inspection results, this should not have happened!

I wonder if someone has become lax, or if there's some other problem?

However, the sect has never interfered in the disciples' cultivation matters.

So nobody paid any attention.

But for some reason, I heard today that someone's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds recently, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's progressing by a thousand miles a day!

One realm per day, nine realms in nine days!

I was shocked for quite a while when I heard this news.

At the time, I was thinking, who could have such great ability?

As the sect leader, I must take a good look and reward him handsomely.

What do you think, Toyokawa?

Listening to Bai Linglong calmly recount her every move.

Toyokawa couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, cold sweat pouring down his back.

'They have no sense of martial ethics! They actually sent people to spy on me!'

As the head of a sect, why would you target an unknown disciple like me?

Isn't anyone going to do anything about this?

Is there no justice left? Is there no law left?

I am just a beginner disciple.

What did I do to deserve this? Me!

Toyokawa was filled with turmoil and unease.

Is this something humans do?

But he couldn't fight city hall, and Toyokawa immediately backed down, bowing and explaining himself.

"Reporting to the sect master, I misspoke just now."

When one first begins spiritual practice, it is easy to get confused about the different stages of spiritual development.

The disciple is not in the bone-tempering stage.

The disciple has reached the stage of transformation.

I'm about to advance to the Innate Realm!

Please forgive my slip of the tongue, Sect Master!

Bai Linglong: "Oh~, why aren't you mixing anymore?"

Toyokawa: "Thanks to the sect leader's reminder!"

Bai Linglong: "Really? Did I remind you? I just said there was someone, could it be you?"

Fengchuan: "Sect Master, please forgive me. It was indeed your disciple who should not have deceived you."

Bai Linglong: "Hehe, okay, I'm not teasing you anymore!"

Toyokawa, it's been a long time!

You might think you've never seen me before.

But I saw you ten years ago, when you were just a three-year-old toddler.

"In the blink of an eye, you've grown so much."

After saying that, Bai Linglong waved her hand, and a beam of azure light flew out from Feng Chuan's chest and landed on Bai Linglong's palm.

Bai Linglong: "Look, this spiritual energy was left in your body when I met you!"

Toyokawa: "Oh my, I never expected that I would have such a connection with the sect leader!"

Now that I've become a disciple of the sect leader, it's truly a double blessing.

This is truly a blessing and a great fortune for this disciple!

Bai Linglong: "Alright, enough with the nonsense! We're not that close yet!"

Toyokawa felt as if a thousand mythical beasts were stampeding through his mind.

Damn, how can it change its face so suddenly? Even the weather in the cultivation world wouldn't dare to change like that.

But Bai Linglong's next words almost made Feng Chuan fall to the ground.

Bai Linglong: "Feng Chuan, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

What's wrong with this?

You just said you weren't that familiar with them yet, and then you asked them to become your apprentice?

This really gives me the feeling of 'They used to call her "sweetie," but now they call her "old hag"!'

However, having a beautiful woman as a master, and even the head of a sect, isn't entirely unacceptable!

Therefore, Toyokawa was especially devoted to his heart.

He knelt down on both knees.

"Disciple Fengchuan greets Master!"

They'll kneel down without hesitation, without wasting a single moment.

Fengchuan kowtowed three times, completing his apprenticeship.

Bai Linglong truly didn't expect Feng Chuan to be so decisive.

They knelt down when told to, and kowtowed when told to, without any hesitation.

Okay, since the apprenticeship ceremony is already done.

I asked it myself.

There is no room for maneuver.

So Bai Linglong had no choice but to accept it.

But she was still very happy.

After all, Toyokawa's qualifications are what matter.

With such an extraordinary disciple, who wouldn't be happy?

"Yes, my disciple, please rise. From now on, you will be my personal disciple."

Before you, I had another disciple named Murong Ziling.

When you see her in the future, call her "Senior Sister," and you should all get to know her better.

After Bai Linglong accepted him as her disciple, she gave him instructions.

Toyokawa: "Yes, Master. I will obey your command. I have remembered it!"

If anyone else were here and saw this, they would probably be completely astonished.

Are you really going to be this careless?

Taking on an apprenticeship? Can you be a little more serious and earnest?

Such a hasty apprenticeship is rare throughout history!

One dared to worship, and the other dared to accept the offering!

I'm really impressed by you two old fools!

Bai Linglong: "Since you, Chuan'er, have already become my disciple, then I cannot be stingy."

"Well, these two treasures were a gift from Ancestor Xingyun, so I'm giving them to you."

Upon hearing this, Fengchuan stepped forward and asked, "Disciple thanks Master!"

But Master, what exactly is this treasure?

Bai Linglong: "Why don't you just open it and see?"

Upon hearing this, Fengchuan carefully opened the two jade boxes on the table.

I looked at it carefully for a second, and confirmed it several times.

Uh, I don't know him.

Fengchuan looked at Bai Linglong with a puzzled expression.

Bai Linglong could tell from Feng Chuan's expression that he didn't recognize him.

So he said, "These two things are things you need right now and are very precious."

That fruit is the Empty Bright Fruit.

The other flower is called the Thousand-Year Jade Flower.

Toyokawa: "What? The Void Fruit, and the Thousand-Year Jade Flower?"

Master, this is far too precious; this disciple dares not accept it!

After hearing Bai Linglong's introduction, Feng Chuan was filled with shock and disbelief.

He only learned about these two treasures today.

Before coming here, I had seen related records in the library.

Both of these are top-tier natural treasures specifically mentioned in the book for opening up the dantian.

These two items alone, if taken out at random, could cause countless people to fight tooth and nail over them.

And his master bestowed it upon him so easily.

So touching, what a wonderful master!

Are there any more? I'd like a dozen more of such a wonderful master!

Bai Linglong: "It's alright, this is a gift from Master to you. Please accept it."

Fengchuan: "But Master, you said this was a gift from the Ancestor. Is it really okay to give it to me?"

Bai Linglong: "It's alright. What the Ancestor bestowed upon me is mine. I have the right to dispose of it as I see fit, so you can accept it without worry."

Fengchuan: "But Master, will there really be any problems if I take it? After all, there are quite a few people in the sect with better talent and aptitude than me."

Bai Linglong was somewhat annoyed by Feng Chuan's question, and said, "Do you want it or not?"

"Yes, how could I refuse? This disciple is just worried about causing trouble for Master!"

As he spoke, Fengchuan expertly closed the jade box, carefully tucked it into his bosom, and kept it close to his body for safekeeping.

Bai Linglong: "Hmph~, I thought you were going to say that you were exceptionally talented and didn't need to use your talents!"

Toyokawa: "Hehe, Master is really good at judging people! He even saw my unparalleled talent."

Bai Linglong rubbed her forehead, looking helpless, and said, "Get lost~"

Toyokawa: "Sigh~, this disciple will leave now. This disciple takes his leave."

Bai Linglong: "Wait, come back!"

Toyokawa stopped, walked closer, and asked, "Master, is there anything else you need to say?"

Bai Linglong: "Feng Chuan, are you aware of your own aptitude?"

Toyokawa didn't understand why his master asked, but assumed that his boasting had piqued his master's interest, so he answered truthfully.

Fengchuan: "Reporting to Master, the disciple roster lists me as having a dual Yin-Yang spiritual root, mortal level, earth grade."

Five Elements Spiritual Root, Mortal Level, Mortal Character.

However, nine days ago, the disciple underwent a transformation.

The speed at which I sensed the flow of spiritual energy increased by more than 10%.

It is now estimated that someone possesses a spiritual root that has reached the Heavenly Grade level.

Bai Linglong: "What? Your last transformation wasn't just a physical transformation? Your spiritual root transformed along with it?"

Toyokawa: "Uh~, Master, you misheard me. I didn't, I didn't say that, I don't know."

'Damn it, I let it slip. My mouth is really cursed!' Toyokawa thought to himself.

Bai Linglong: "Do you think I'm deaf? Speak up, tell the truth!"

Toyokawa really wanted to slap himself right now.

But since the words had already been spoken, there was no going back, so I had no choice but to reply truthfully.

Fengchuan: "I dare not deceive Master. Yes, my spiritual root has also undergone a transformation!"

Even before Fengchuan replied, Bai Linglong released her divine sense, sensed for a moment, and then waved her hand to create a soundproof barrier.

Upon receiving a positive reply, Bai Linglong was overwhelmed with emotion.

What kind of physique is this?

I've never heard of this before, not even in the past.

Not only can it transform the physical body, but it can also transform the spiritual root.

It's simply defying the heavens, defying the heavens to the extreme.

Bai Linglong: "Fengchuan!"

You must remember this: never mention this to anyone again!

What I'm about to tell you is very important, extremely important, and top secret!

After you hear this, I will cast a spell on you to ensure you are not exposed.

Actually, I had already spoken with the senior surveyor beforehand, before the survey qualifications were verified.

If you encounter a disciple with exceptional talent, cover for them.

When you examined it, the magical artifact showed that your aptitude was exceptionally high.

Therefore, the part was covered up by the elder on duty.

Your actual qualifications at the time were:

Yin-Yang dual-elemental spiritual root, King-level, peak Heaven-grade.

Five Elements attribute spiritual root, minister level, peak of Earth grade.

Born to be king, do you know what that means?

This is a top-tier talent that appears only once in ten thousand years.

Faced with such qualifications, no sect dared to make them public.

They were all kept hidden away and quietly nurtured.

And you are one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred thousand!

As the saying goes, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind; a person who stands out from the crowd will be criticized by the crowd."

That's why I lowered my ranking by several levels on your disciple list.

After that, I made sure to keep a close eye on you.

One reason is to keep track of your progress in cultivation.

On the other hand, it is also to secretly protect you and prevent you from being plotted against by those with ulterior motives.

Another point is to prevent you from taking detours.

And now you say that your spiritual root aptitude has undergone a transformation and has become of higher quality.

This is something that the cultivation world can no longer comprehend.

It now appears that the problem stems from your special spiritual entity.

So remember this: under no circumstances should you reveal your secret.

You must understand that this is the world of cultivation.

Although the spirit cannot be taken away, there are methods such as possession and soul-destroying.

Rebirth through transmigration is not a rare occurrence!

Feng Chuan listened silently to Bai Linglong's long speech, and was genuinely shocked by what he heard.

Holy crap, this level of talent isn't just amazing, it's absolutely incredible.

I just want to ask: "Who else?"

This made Toyokawa think of his friends again.

They all thought I was on the third floor, but I'm actually on the fifth floor. Just thinking about it makes me feel so good.

Toyokawa: "Yes, Master, I will remember! Please use your magic to ensure that the secret is not leaked."

Bai Linglong didn't mince words; she immediately began to dance with her hands, her finger gestures appearing like illusions.

In a short while, a massive runic array was constructed directly in the void.

Then it slowly descended from above Toyokawa's head, gradually shrinking until it became a point of light and disappeared into Toyokawa's brow.

At this moment, Toyokawa felt as if a shackle had been placed on his mind.

As long as one wants to reveal their secrets, shackles will imprison their mind, preventing them from speaking.

What kind of tactic is this? That's impressive.

Toyokawa: "Then, Master, this disciple will go down."

Bai Linglong: "Wait a minute, although you are now a direct disciple, it cannot be made public for the time being."

I will have someone secretly send you your monthly salary as a direct disciple.

You can still receive the monthly salary of an inner disciple.

If you encounter any questions in your spiritual practice, you can come and ask me secretly.

There are also some spirit stones here that you should be able to use when you open up your dantian.

Okay, that's all, you can go now!

Toyokawa: "Yes, thank you, Master. This disciple will take his leave."
