11: Chapter 11: Master, Hong Fu!
"Senior Sister, you aren't joking, are you? Haven't you always detested handsome men the most? And that newly entered Disciple's appearance, looking across the entire Sect, is among the top one or two of the many male Disciples. Such a handsome and dashing male Disciple, why do you still want to take him as your Disciple? Isn't this a joke?"
Upon hearing Hong Fu say she wanted to take Zhao Changsheng as her Disciple, the one among the Core Formation Stage Cultivators present who could least sit still was Lei Wanhe, who had the most fiery temper.
After all, he was the person among those present who most wanted to take Zhao Changsheng as a Disciple.
Or rather, not a single one of the many Core Formation Stage Cultivators present did not want to take Zhao Changsheng as a Disciple.
"So what? If I take him as a Disciple, he will surely be able to inherit my mantle. In the future, if the Dong Family lacks a Core Formation Cultivator, he can also help them out a bit. Although he is handsome, I observe that his temperament is acceptable, so I don't dislike him too much. If there's an opportunity in the future, I wouldn't mind playing matchmaker between him and that descendant of mine. It could be considered killing two birds with one stone."
Once Hong Fu finished saying this, not a single one of the Core Formation Cultivators present, even her fellow Disciples, had a good expression on their faces.
It was because their cultivation Realm, strength, and status were all inferior to Hong Fu's.
To put it simply, not one of them could surpass this Eldest Senior Sister, Hong Fu, in any aspect.
Therefore, no matter how much reluctance they felt in their hearts, they could only brace themselves, grit their teeth, and agree, and even had to speak words of congratulation.
"Then congratulations to Senior Sister for taking in a Disciple with such excellent Aptitude."
Li Huayuan was the first to speak up in congratulation.
Hearing Li Huayuan's words, the other Core Formation Cultivators could only follow suit and offer their congratulations.
After all, their strength was inferior, and their skills were inferior; since that was the case, there was no need to compete with her further.
And Hong Fu naturally did not forget to voice her thanks. A bit more of a smile appeared on her face, causing the Evil Qi between her brows to diminish quite a bit, making her look much more pleasant... "Disciple Zhao Changsheng pays respects to Revered Master!"
Half a month later, in the Discussion Hall, Zhao Changsheng bowed to Hong Fu before him, his expression and tone incredibly respectful.
In truth, he had never imagined that he would end up under Hong Fu's tutelage.
It seemed that as long as one's Aptitude was sufficient, then regardless of how much prejudice or dislike the other party held in their heart, they would still take him as a Disciple.
It was mainly because of this face of his, which was truly too handsome and dashing.
During this period, he had indeed attracted the attention of many female Disciples, causing many of them to find ways to strike up a conversation with him, while also revealing their desire to become his Dao Companion.
It wasn't just because of his face, but even more so because they knew his Spiritual Root Aptitude was a Heavenly Spiritual Root, a rarity seen only once in a century. With such Spiritual Root Aptitude, as long as no accidents occurred, he would inevitably become a Core Formation Stage Cultivator in the future.
He was equivalent to a perfectly extreme blue-chip stock; in his previous life, he would be a future billionaire. One might ask, which woman wouldn't be moved, wouldn't want to become his Dao Companion?
Fortunately, this was the Cultivation World; one wouldn't have half their cultivation taken away after a divorce.
"Rise. For now, since you have not yet reached Foundation Establishment, you can only be considered a Named Disciple of mine. Only after you reach Foundation Establishment can you be considered my formal Disciple. Do you understand?"
Hong Fu's voice carried the solemnity of a teacher, causing Zhao Changsheng to immediately nod, indicating his understanding.
"Disciple understands. Revered Master, please rest assured, I will definitely succeed in Foundation Establishment as soon as possible."
"You don't need to be too anxious about this; after all, too much is as bad as too little. Just take your time. However, it is best if you can succeed in Foundation Establishment before the age of twenty, as this will be of great benefit to your future formation of a Golden Core. If you can successfully form a Golden Core before the age of one hundred, then the hope of forming a Nascent Soul and advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future will be greatly increased. This is of immense benefit to your future, remember that."
"Disciple understands, Revered Master can rest assured!"
Hearing Hong Fu's somewhat cliché teachings, Zhao Changsheng immediately indicated his understanding, so she needn't say more.
"It's good that you understand; then I shall say no more. Because you have a Heavenly Spiritual Root Aptitude, you may open your own Immortal Cave, or you may Cultivate by my side; these are all up to you."
After Hong Fu said this, Zhao Changsheng was stunned for a moment. If he remembered correctly, there was a location with a Spirit Eye Spring within this Taiyue Mountain Range.
Although it was only a small Spirit Eye Spring, it was enough for him.
However, with his current status, if he really found that Spirit Eye Spring, he would certainly become a target of public criticism, and it was very likely to be borrowed or seized by those Core Formation Elders.
Thinking of this, Zhao Changsheng decided not to look for that Spirit Eye Spring for now.
"Disciple wishes to Cultivate by Revered Master's side, so as to be able to consult Revered Master on difficult problems in Cultivation at any time."
Zhao Changsheng found a suitable excuse, but to this excuse, Hong Fu shook her head.
"I have many matters to attend to, so it's impossible for me to teach you at all times. Moreover, you have a Heavenly Spiritual Root Aptitude; you will not face any Bottlenecks before Core Formation, so you only need to Cultivate well. Furthermore, besides myself, there are several of your Senior Sisters in the Immortal Cave. They are already Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, and two of them have even reached the Late Stage Foundation Establishment. If you have any questions, feel free to ask these Senior Sisters; I believe they won't refuse. If they are busy, they will hand you over to someone else for guidance, so you don't need to worry about having no one to guide your Cultivation. If all else fails, you can also directly seek out the Sect Head for advice."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Sect Head of Yellow Maple Valley, who had been watching from the side, nodded repeatedly and said:
"Exactly, exactly. If Junior Brother has any questions regarding Cultivation, feel free to come here and find this old man. I will definitely teach you patiently and will absolutely hide nothing."
"Then I shall thank Senior Brother in advance."
After hearing this, Zhao Changsheng also immediately bowed to both of them, expressing his gratitude.
"Junior Brother is too polite; this is just a small matter, a small matter. Teaching Junior Brother well is the most important matter for the entire School."
"As long as Junior Brother can grow up as quickly as possible and form a Golden Core, then it will be the greatest blessing for the entire Sect."
The Sect Head of Yellow Maple Valley was speaking the truth.
The addition of another Core Formation Stage Cultivator was a massive blessing for any School, as it would provide the School with another pillar of support.
Not to mention he was a Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator, who had hope of forming a Nascent Soul in the future, definitely surpassing other Spiritual Root Cultivators.
Under these circumstances, Zhao Changsheng's safety was absolutely of the utmost importance. It could be said that unless an accident occurred, Zhao Changsheng would not be allowed to leave Yellow Maple Valley.
To put it bluntly, as long as Zhao Changsheng was nurtured well, then in the future, it would be equivalent to having an additional Core Formation Stage Cultivator.
