348: Chaos liquid porridge, daughter calls brother

"Sect Master, I want to train them to be external teachers. Would that be possible?"

Nalan Nuo slowly said.

What did 'external teachers' mean? The women were confused.

However, as the name suggested, it seemed to imply they would be unofficial disciples of the Boundless Divine Sect, not formal disciples.

"Yes!" Gu Qing nodded.

The Boundless Divine Sect had so few people. If they wanted to establish a Starry Sky Academy and spread their teachings across the world, they would definitely need to recruit a large number of teachers.

"Then, I also want to recruit some more disciples. Does the Sect Master have any requirements for disciples?"

Nalan Nuo continued, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

There were so many prodigies outside the main gate.

The Boundless Divine Sect was in need of people, so why wasn't Gu Qing opening the mountain gate wide and recruiting disciples extensively?

Gu Qing glanced at the women; each one was fair-skinned and beautiful, with an ethereal bearing and powerful talent.

In the outside world, they would definitely be considered Heavenly Maidens, goddesses pursued by all.

Many of them even possessed the potential to become Profound Gods.

Among them, there were even two protagonists.

The women's hearts were extremely tense; Gu Qing's decision concerned their fate.

Whether they would soar to great heights, backed by the Boundless Divine Sect, living long and free, or whether they would become mediocre, depended on Gu Qing's decision.

"Sect Master, your rule of only accepting children is too arbitrary."

At this moment, You Kui spoke.

Previously, he had been so captivated by the grand blueprint described by Gu Qing that he hadn't had time to think carefully.

After years of contemplation, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Gu Qing's rule of only accepting children was inappropriate.

What if they encountered a monstrous talent with the potential of an Immortal King? Would they also have to give up on them?

Gu Qing pondered in silence.

He naturally knew that for a force to grow and expand, it couldn't set rigid rules; otherwise, it would be tying its own hands.

But he didn't want his sect members to have overly complex backgrounds, to prevent disciples from parasitizing the sect to benefit their families.

Or from bringing unwarranted trouble to the sect, causing mischief everywhere under the sect's banner.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Gu Qing had made such a sweeping decision.

In any case, the Boundless Divine Sect had profound foundations and countless Lands of Creation; even a mortal with ordinary bones could be cultivated into an peerless genius.

"The Sect Master merely wishes to recruit like-minded individuals and intends to cultivate them from childhood."

"However, special circumstances should be handled on a case-by-case basis. As the saying goes, 'Heaven's will is fifty, but one escapes,' which is a glimmer of hope."

"How about this: let them serve as teachers first, and if they pass through layers of assessment, then they can be accepted as formal disciples?" You Kui suggested.

He looked at Gu Qing with eager eyes, his plea not too obvious.

"Sect Master, I think Elder You Kui's words are reasonable. Leaving a glimmer of hope aligns with the Great Dao."

Nalan Nuo had listened for a long time and finally understood why Gu Qing hadn't opened the mountain gate to recruit disciples. She immediately urged him as well.

"Alright."

With the discussion having reached this point, Gu Qing also felt it was quite reasonable.

As a person in power, the most taboo things were stubbornness, arrogance, and blind self-confidence.

When errors were found, they should be corrected in a timely manner.

"However, I still maintain that talent is secondary; the main thing is character. Those with poor moral character, no matter how good their talent, cannot be accepted," Gu Qing said sternly.

"The Sect Master is wise."

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and excited.

Gu Qing had good talent, was willing to invest heavily, and listened to advice; he was simply their ideal Sect Master.

They firmly believed that under Gu Qing's leadership, the Boundless Divine Sect would surely reign over all heavens and become a colossal existence.

As for those with poor moral character, even if Gu Qing didn't say it, they wouldn't want them either.

No one liked turncoats.

"Then it's settled. You all draft the specific plan and then submit it to me for review."

Gu Qing waved his hand.

"Yes!"

The women retreated with joyful expressions.

You Kui hesitated for a moment, then asked, "When does the Sect Master plan to take on disciples?"

Gu Qing was startled, then shook his head: "We'll see. For now, cultivation is paramount."

He didn't even have enough time for his own cultivation, so how could he have time to teach disciples?

"That's fine too!"

You Kui hesitated, then nodded, instantly dropping the idea of having Gu Qing take on disciples.

That child with astonishing talent, it seemed, was fated to be with him.

You Kui rushed off to find his daughter.

"What are you doing here? Get out."

Mei Xueyan glared at him coldly.

"Wife, calm down. Fellow Daoist seems so urgent, there must be something important."

Left Cloud Star took her hand, signaling her to be patient.

You Kui's breath hitched, his face extremely grim, and he said stiffly, "I'm here to see Zuo Yu'er."

"Zuo Yu'er is our daughter; she has nothing to do with you." Mei Xueyan's body emitted a world-shaking sword intent.

The biggest regret of her life was becoming Dao Companions with You Kui, and even more so, enduring You Kui for hundreds of thousands of years.

If You Kui dared to snatch her daughter from her, she would rather die than let him succeed.

Left Cloud Star also fell silent.

Although Zuo Yu'er was not his biological daughter, she was like one to him.

"Hmph!"

You Kui took a deep breath and slowly said, "The Sect Master bestowed an Immortal King Artifact and allowed Zuo Yu'er to enter the Land of Creation for nurturing."

"What?"

Both their expressions immediately changed, their pupils widening.

What kind of heaven-shaking fortune was this?

"Is it true?"

Zuo Yu'er, who was secretly listening in her room, heard this and immediately darted out.

"Of course it's true. How could your old dad lie to you about such a major matter? Dad never lies to you."

You Kui stroked his daughter's small head, his stern and cold face showing a rare trace of a smile.

He immediately took out the Seven Stars Sword.

Although it had a sealing force, it still made the few people feel the destructive power contained within it.

If even a wisp of sword qi leaked out, they would surely be annihilated, body and soul.

"Senior Brother is so good to me." Zuo Yu'er pursed her red lips, then paused and added, "You're good too."

"Hahaha, good, these three Tongtian Dao Fruits are also for you."

...On the other side, on Wangyue Peak, Nalan Nuo gathered everyone and repeated Gu Qing's words.

A group of Little Fairies, usually calm and aloof, instantly transformed into social butterflies, their expressions excited, chattering non-stop.

Nalan Nuo and Fang Ling listened quietly, with gentle, motherly smiles on their faces, their eyes soft as they watched the women discuss.

Having looked after them for countless years, the two had already come to regard them as their own family, like biological daughters.

Seeing them have the opportunity to climb to higher peaks of the Great Dao, with their future achievements infinitely enhanced, the two couldn't be more relieved.

However, there weren't enough fortuitous opportunities to go around. They had to find a way to distribute the fortunes without hurting anyone's feelings...After handling his affairs, Gu Qing stepped into the Boundless Heavenly Palace.

"Hehe! Mommy can't catch me, nah nah!"

In the garden, Xian'er nimbly weaved through the flower bushes.

"Xian'er, be good, drink your porridge before you play."

"No, I'm not hungry."

"Just a little, just a little."

Oh no... Gu Qing rubbed his forehead helplessly. Jiang Yu really treated Xian'er as her own daughter.

When Zhi Meng came out of seclusion, she would probably explode.

Gu Qing glanced at the porridge in Jiang Yu's bowl, and his pupils immediately widened in shock.

Making porridge with Chaotic Origin Fluid, damn it, as expected of a super big shot.

He wanted to drink this porridge too.

Gu Qing flashed to the table and sat down, serving himself a large bowl.

Chaotic Origin Fluid, that was a precious liquid containing Chaotic Laws, countless times more advanced than innate divine water.

It had the miraculous effects of reshaping foundations, reshaping Dao Fruits, and increasing cultivation.

Gu Qing gulped it down, rapidly refining it. Infinite insights surged into his mind, and his cultivation soared at the speed of a rocket.

If he drank it every day, he would only need ten thousand... no, one thousand years to break through to Xuan Shen Peak.

Wasn't this much faster than his own painstaking cultivation?

"Big brother, why are you snatching my porridge?"

Xian'er nestled in Jiang Yu's arms, her eyes full of confusion at the sudden appearance of this person.

As soon as Gu Qing appeared, she felt a sense of closeness.

But seeing Gu Qing snatch her porridge, she immediately pouted unhappily, looking as if she was about to cry.

"Pfft!"

Big brother???

Gu Qing's expression cracked.

"Hehe, Xian'er, yes, he is your brother. He's so naughty, he actually snatched your porridge. Drink it quickly, or he'll finish it all."

Jiang Yu laughed uncontrollably, her eyes twinkling as she brought the spoon to Xian'er's lips.

Xian'er was no longer picky. She gulped it down and said angrily, "Mommy, I want to drink it, don't let big brother drink it!"

(｀Δ´)

The Chaotic Origin Fluid porridge tasted very good, but she drank it every day, every meal, and had long grown tired of it.

But she would absolutely not allow anyone to snatch anything from her.

"Alright, alright, it's all for Xian'er."

Jiang Yu knew Xian'er was very protective of her food, but she really hadn't expected her to be so protective.

After one mouthful of Chaotic Origin Fluid porridge, the immense energy contained within it was restrained by a force.

The little bit of liquid that diffused out nourished Xian'er's physique and strengthened her origin.

Xian'er's cultivation foundation improved without her even realizing it.

"???"

Gu Qing was stunned.

It didn't matter that his daughter called him 'brother,' since she didn't know him.

He would let his daughter experience what it meant for a father's love to be like a mountain, and as vast and deep as the ocean, surging like ocean tides...

But his daughter actually wouldn't let him, her old father, drink the porridge. This was too much.
