A useless person with five spiritual roots? I sacrificed the proud daughter of heaven.

"When I first met the elder, I felt that he was handsome and had the appearance of an immortal. Later, when the elder spoke up for justice, Shenghe knew that the elder must be a person who understands the principles of things and is deeply righteous."

"Such a person is exactly the kind of person that Sheng He admires. If I could have such a master, it would be the greatest fortune of my life. Therefore, I earnestly request the elder to accept me as his disciple."

After Sheng He finished speaking, the room was silent for a few seconds. Just as Sheng He was feeling uneasy, a hand with distinct knuckles landed on her shoulder.

Sheng He looked up and saw Tian Yu wiping away tears with emotion on her face.

"I never knew I was such a great person in your eyes. Don't worry, Xiao Shenghe, I'll talk to the sect leader. It's not easy to find a disciple as discerning as you. Even if it violates the sect rules, I will definitely take you as my disciple!"

"Heh...hehe, then thank you very much, Master."

Sheng He smiled awkwardly, once again questioning his decision.

Tianyu suddenly became serious. He rummaged through his storage bag and found a jumble of rare and precious materials filling the room.

Sheng He examined them carefully: Dragon Saliva Grass, Ice Crystal Stone, Illusion Flower...

When Sheng He saw the green plant that was casually tossed in the corner, emitting a faint light, his eyes lit up instantly.

It is a thousand-year-old green vine, a spiritual herb that tempers the wood spirit root!

Legend has it that the thousand-year-old green vine only grows in the Pure Moon Secret Realm, and only grows an inch in a hundred years. It is also guarded by a green-eyed serpent.

In her previous life, Sheng He was just a menial disciple who didn't even have the qualifications to go to the Pure Moon Secret Realm. Later, she finally managed to become an outer disciple through her own efforts, but she was targeted by Zhao Yanran and her qualification to go to the secret realm was taken away.

Left with no other choice, Sheng He had to find a substitute, the Green Wood Essence, which could also be used to temper the Wood Spirit Root, but the effect was much worse.

I never expected to find green vines here in Tianyu!

Seeing that Sheng He was staring at the green vine, Tian Yu understood what she was thinking, so he generously waved his hand.

"Who told you to be my first apprentice, and to hold me in such high esteem? Sigh!"

Tianyu shook her head; her charm was simply irresistible!

"Here, these are all the possessions I've accumulated over the years. Take whatever you like, but don't let anyone look down on my disciple, Tianyu."

Tianyu turned her head away arrogantly and started fanning herself again, but her eyes kept glancing at Shenghe out of the corner of her eye.

This can also be considered a test for Sheng He. Among the pile of things on the ground, there are many things that look fancy but are actually useless to sword cultivators, such as that gold crystal stone, which is a material needed by alchemists.

If Sheng He is not greedy enough or lacks self-control, even if she admires me greatly, I would give those things to Sheng He out of consideration for our affinity, but I would absolutely not accept them from her.

After all, Tianyu is one of the most outstanding figures in the cultivation world and a pillar of the Qingyun Sect. He can't just take in just anyone.

Sheng He looked at the magical treasures scattered on the ground, then pointed at herself incredulously: "Me? Can I really do that?"

Tianyu waved his fan, his tone nonchalant: "Hurry up and choose, consider it my gift to you."

Sheng He calmed his excited emotions and respectfully bowed to Tian Yu: "Thank you, Master."

Then, Sheng He carefully picked up the thousand-year-old green vine from the ground, held it in his arms, and made no further moves.

Tianyu looked at Shenghe in confusion: "That's it?"

Sheng He was equally puzzled: "This is enough."

Tianyu was shocked. Tianyu rubbed his forehead. Tianyu was furious.

"I have so many treasures, and you only picked a Green Wood Vine? Did you see that one? That purple one, that's a defensive umbrella personally crafted by my master, your grandmaster. No one below the Nascent Soul stage can hurt you. You don't even want that?"

"And this is a teleportation talisman. If you encounter someone you can't defeat, you can escape instantly!"

"And this, this sword... this pill... I have so many treasures here, and you only picked a Green Wood Vine? Are you looking down on me? Hurry up and pick some more!"

Tianyu urged him on, even that woman was drooling over his storage bag, and Shenghe actually only picked a green vine, this was simply a disgrace!

Sheng He scratched her head. It wasn't that she didn't want to take it, but in her heart, a thousand-year-old green vine was already worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, and she was too embarrassed to take it.

But since Tianyu had said so, Shenghe didn't stand on ceremony anymore. She caught a glimpse of a short flute out of the corner of her eye and picked it up out of curiosity.

This short flute is the only oddity among this pile of treasures, as it has no spiritual energy attached to it and the materials used to make it are very ordinary.

Just as Sheng He was about to take a closer look, the short flute was snatched away by Tian Yu.

"This...this is a gift from your Uncle Jinglan. It's not of any use to you, so don't bother choosing this one."

Tianyu quickly stuffed the short flute back into his storage bag. How did he accidentally take this out?

Without a doubt, if Jinglan found out that this thing had been given away to someone else, she would definitely skin him alive.

Seeing Sheng He's suspicious gaze, Tian Yu guiltily touched her nose: "Hey, why are you taking so long to pick something out? Here, take this, this, and this too."

Tianyu casually picked up a few treasures that Shenghe might need in the future and stuffed them into her arms until Shenghe could no longer hold them all. Only then did Tianyu reluctantly nod and say, "That's all for now. I'll find more for you when you need them later."

"Here, this is a storage ring. Enter a trace of your spiritual power into it and it will automatically recognize you as its owner. There are one hundred mid-grade spirit stones inside. Use them for now, and if you need more, ask your master."

Tianyu casually tossed a ring to Shenghe.

Sheng He's eyes widened. One hundred mid-grade spirit stones!

You should know that one high-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, and one mid-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

In the Qingyun Sect, outer disciples can only receive one mid-grade spirit stone per month, and even personal disciples can only receive fifteen mid-grade spirit stones per month.

In her previous life, she worked tirelessly like an ox, doing tasks and collecting spiritual herbs everywhere. Before she died, all she had left were a little over two hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

It turns out there are so many benefits to becoming an apprentice! Tianyu isn't as unreliable as she imagined!

Sheng He looked at Tian Yu with a touch of emotion: "Master..."

Tianyu put one hand behind his back, waved the other casually, and said in a deep voice:

"No need to thank me, this is what I should do as a master. Go on, it will take you two days to reach Qingyun Sect, which should be enough time for you to refine the Green Wood Vine. When we arrive at Qingyun Sect, I will personally explain to the sect leader that I will take you as my disciple. At that time, you can just come with me to Sword Peak."

"Thank you, Master."

Sheng He bowed again and slowly left Tian Yu's room.

Tianyu only dared to open his right hand, which had been behind his back, after he saw the door to the room completely closed.
