Chapter 393 Becoming a disciple? My master can't bear the consequences!

Low Grade... Acquired Spirit Treasure??

Hearing this unfamiliar term come out of Lin Xiyue's mouth, countless giant question marks popped up in Gu Zhiyun's mind.

"Sister Yue, what's with these incomprehensible terms again?"

"What is an Acquired Spirit Treasure?"

The title of Acquired Spirit Treasure was something she had never heard of in the Cangxuan Great Realm.

She had only heard of Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, Saint Weapons, Emperor Weapons, and the like...

Where did this "Acquired Spirit Treasure" come from?

"As expected, the system of an otherworldly realm is quite different from my hometown!"

"Even the ranking and classification of Magic Treasures exude an incomprehensible profundity."

Gu Zhiyun muttered to herself, feeling that her horizons were truly being broadened!

Li Fan, standing to the side, was naturally also in a fog, not knowing the weight of this Acquired Spirit Treasure.

Therefore, he could only turn his gaze toward his well-informed Revered Master.

"Old Sword, have you heard of this so-called Acquired Spirit Treasure?"

However, this time, even Old Sword shook his head with a solemn expression.

"I haven't heard of it."

"This is not the Magic Treasure system we are familiar with."

"But I can see that this is a supreme treasure far surpassing an Emperor Weapon!"

"Because back then, I also witnessed several Emperor Weapons. Although their power could destroy heaven and earth, I am certain those Emperor Weapons do not have the qualifications to be mentioned in the same breath as the chessboard before us!"

Old Sword's eyes were fixed intently on the yin-yang chessboard floating beside Lin Xiyue, his voice filled with deep shock.

"Holy crap, far surpassing an Emperor Weapon!"

"Now I understand!"

Hearing this extremely easy-to-understand evaluation from Old Sword,

Lin Xiyue instantly understood the value of this thing!

But after understanding, a surge of extreme shock and even a sense of unreality suddenly rose in her heart.

"Good heavens..."

"I just entered this Secret Realm and happened to glance at the chessboard on the stone table."

"How did I inexplicably obtain a supreme treasure that stands above Emperor Weapons?"

"Could it be...!"

"Am I actually like my brother, the kind of Protagonist of Destiny who can pick up Divine Artifacts just by walking? A Child of Luck hiding in plain sight?"

Lin Xiyue's imagination ran wild, her mind filled with uncertainty and surprise.

At that moment, the Big Yellow Dog walked over with a complex expression.

"I didn't expect..."

"Revered Master's yin-yang chessboard would actually take the initiative to recognize you as its Revered Master..."

The Big Yellow Dog's voice carried a trace of unavoidable helplessness.

One must know, this yin-yang chessboard wasn't just placed on the table as a decoration!

It was actually a trial left behind by its Revered Master back then!

According to the Revered Master's settings, if a descendant could sit here for a hundred years and successfully solve the endgame on the chessboard,

They would be considered to have passed the trial, thereby becoming the Revered Master's Personal Disciple and inheriting everything in this Dao Field.

But the problem now was...

The person before it didn't solve any endgame at all; she hadn't even touched a single chess piece!

She just stood there, took one look, fell into an Epiphany,

And then this yin-yang chessboard proactively threw itself at her, automatically recognizing her as its Revered Master?!

This was like the Revered Master setting up an extremely tight firewall,

Only for Lin Xiyue to not even bother cracking the password, but instead just walk off with the mainframe and casually reformat it!

She wasn't following the rules at all!

She basically flipped the table!

But what was it, the watchdog responsible for proctoring the exam, supposed to do?

"Uh... sorry about that, Senior Dog."

Seeing the Big Yellow Dog's conflicted and complex look, Lin Xiyue also felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, blatantly walking off with someone else's treasure right in front of them did seem a bit wrong.

"No, no, no!"

"Young Miss is too polite!"

Who would have thought that as soon as Lin Xiyue called out "Senior Dog,"

The Big Yellow Dog would jump as if its tail had been stepped on, retreating repeatedly with its front paws waving frantically in the air.

"Just call me Big Yellow! Big Yellow is fine!"

"Revered Master used to call me that!"

The Big Yellow Dog was truly panicked now.

If it were before, if Lin Xiyue called it Senior, Grandfather, or even Old Ancestor,

It could have accepted it comfortably and with a clear conscience.

But now?

Even with ten times the courage, it wouldn't dare!

After learning of Lin Xiyue's identity as the 'dao ancestors spokesperson,' it now felt immense pressure facing her!

Putting on airs and acting like a Senior in front of the Dao Ancestor's spokesperson?

Wasn't that like an old man eating arsenic—tired of living!

"Eh?"

Seeing the Big Yellow Dog's submissive and even somewhat respectful and fawning appearance, Lin Xiyue was stunned.

This dog... outside the courtyard, wasn't it calling itself 'Dog Master' and acting all high and mighty?

How did its attitude toward her change so much in the time it took for her to have an Epiphany?

Not only was it no longer arrogant, it even seemed to have... a tendency to be a lickspittle?

"When I was having my Epiphany... did I miss some exciting plot development?"

Lin Xiyue was completely baffled.

"Girl Lin, just listen to Fellow Daoist Dog."

Just as she was full of doubt,

Old Sword gave her a subtle look.

That look carried the meaning of "I've already settled everything, just follow along with the act."

Lin Xiyue was incredibly clever and understood instantly!

Although she didn't know what method the Old Grandfather had used, clearly, this Big Yellow Dog was now intimidated.

"Alright, Big Yellow."

Understanding this, Lin Xiyue didn't stand on ceremony and went right along with it.

She pointed at the yin-yang chessboard beside her and asked tentatively:

"Since this chessboard is a relic of your Revered Master, how about... I return it to you?"

"No, no, no! Absolutely not!"

Hearing this, the Big Yellow Dog shook its head like a rattle.

"The fact that Young Miss could make it proactively recognize you as Revered Master is your own ability and the honor of this supreme treasure!"

"In fact, this chessboard was originally a trial my Revered Master intentionally left behind to select a successor."

"I just didn't expect Young Miss's Comprehension Ability to be so Heaven-Defying that you skipped the trial entirely..."

The Big Yellow Dog hesitated, finally letting out a helpless sigh.

In the Face of the Dao Ancestor spokesperson's illogical and Heaven-Defying Aptitude, the rules set by its Revered Master had clearly become mere decorations.

"Selecting a successor?"

"Oh, I see."

Lin Xiyue rubbed her chin and followed the lead quite well.

"Now that I've obtained this supreme treasure..."

"Next, do I need to take your Revered Master as my teacher?"

"Would that make it official?"

Lin Xiyue thought the Big Yellow Dog was hinting for her to go through the motions of a Revered Master-disciple ceremony.

She wasn't against this at all.

After all, various signs indicated that the Big Yellow Dog's Revered Master was definitely a taboo powerhouse with unfathomable strength.

Taking such a big shot as a teacher was something she was not only willing to do but also felt would give her a lot of Face!

Besides, this big shot had clearly already fallen.

Even if she took him as a Revered Master, it would just be bowing and acknowledging the title.

But in exchange, she would officially inherit all the good things in this mysterious Dao Field!

This deal was practically a massive profit with no loss!

Thinking of this, Lin Xiyue made a move to find a place to perform the Revered Master-disciple salutation.

"Stop, stop!!!"

"Young Miss has misunderstood!!"

Who would have thought that upon seeing Lin Xiyue's action, the Big Yellow Dog would react as if it had seen something terrifying, shuddering violently and rushing forward to stop her.

What kind of joke was this?!

Letting a spokesperson of a Dao Ancestor take its Revered Master as a teacher?

Perhaps this Little Ancestor herself was the Personal Disciple of some Dao Ancestor!

In terms of status and standing, she was an existence that could leave its Revered Master several star-rivers behind!

Where would it get the courage to let such a great figure lower herself to bow and take its Revered Master as a teacher?

This kind of Karma, which was absurd to the extreme, even though its Revered Master had already fallen,

They would never dare to touch even a shred of it!

"With Young Miss's nobility, my Revered Master does not have the qualifications to accept you as a disciple!"

The Big Yellow Dog had a bitter Face, almost kneeling to Lin Xiyue.

"My... nobility?"

Now, Lin Xiyue was completely bewildered.

How was she so noble that even a powerhouse who left behind something surpassing an Emperor Weapon wasn't worthy of taking her as a disciple?

However, looking at the Big Yellow Dog's terrified expression, as if it were about to have a heart attack at any moment, combined with Old Sword's frantic hinting earlier,

Lin Xiyue could roughly guess some clues.

The Old Grandfather must have set up some incredible, Heaven-Defying persona for her while she was in her Epiphany!

In that case, she naturally wouldn't expose it, but would instead go with the flow and maintain this unfathomable air to the end.

"Then what should we do now?"

"Can I still take this Opportunity?"

Lin Xiyue spread her hands and asked with some helplessness.

"Of course you can!"

Regarding this question, the Big Yellow Dog's answer was very straightforward!

"Although Young Miss has not joined my Revered Master's sect,"

"Since the yin-yang chessboard has recognized you as Revered Master, it is equivalent to receiving my Revered Master's highest recognition from the beyond."

"So now, all the Legacies and treasures my Revered Master left in this Dao Field..."

"Will all be inherited by Young Miss!"

The Big Yellow Dog raised its head, its gaze sweeping across this vast starry sky Dao Field.

Although its Revered Master had instructed it back then to strictly guard the gate and help find a successor with excellent Heart-Nature,

In this situation, the person not only had Heaven-Defying comprehension but also had an unspeakable 'Dao Ancestor' standing behind her!

How could it, a mere dog, be the one to decide?

"Revered Master, oh Revered Master."

"It's really not that I, Big Yellow, am not doing my job..."

"It's truly because..."

"The Karma she carries is too heavy; you really cannot afford it!"

The Big Yellow Dog sighed faintly in its heart.
