"I am willing to be your apprentice and follow your rules. If I break them, may the heavens punish me."
The young girl's expression was serious and her tone was powerful.
Hearing this, Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. The reason why he wanted to take her as his apprentice was because the young girl was outstanding. She was talented and determined. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a beautiful piece of jade?
For two, he wanted to leave behind an inheritance. After all, the road ahead was full of obstacles. If something happens to him, at the very least, he would leave behind an inheritor.
"Very good."
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. After a moment of silence, he said, "Since you don't have a name and I am your Master, then let me give you a name."
"Please give me a name, Master." The young girl lowered her gaze. Her gentle demeanor was completely different from the little hedgehog from before.
"Hmmm …"
Ling Xian paused and smiled, "They say women are like water. Let's call you An Qiu Shui."
"Yes, from now on, my name is An Qiu Shui." The corner of the young girl's lips curled up, as if she was happy that she had a name.
"Then from now on, you will have to call me Master." Ling Xian grinned. He didn't think there would be a day when he would become a Master.
"Yes, Master." An Qiu Shui softly called out, her face full of joy.
"Not bad."
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. But he was troubled as to how to teach her. He had no experience teaching. Throughout his journey of cultivation, nobody has taught him.
Therefore, he shook his head helplessly. He took out the Shang Qing Technique from his storage pouch and a bunch of bottles filled with medicinal Dans. He threw them all to An Zhi Shui.
"To be honest, I have nothing to teach you. I don't have the time right now. Therefore, I can only give you extraordinary techniques and resources. The rest is up to you. "
Ling Xian softly smiled and pointed at the jade scroll, "This technique is called the Shang Qing Technique. It is the highest level of inheritance from the Shang Qing Sect. It is enough for you to train until you reach the original level."
An Zhi Shui's eyes brightened. She had just started cultivating and didn't know what the Shang Qing Sect was. She also didn't know what the Shang Qing Technique meant. But she knew that Ling Xian's methods were extraordinary. Why wouldn't she be happy?
"These are pills that I refined in my spare time. Although they are not perfect, they are at least ninety percent complete. Coupled with the wondrous effects of the Shang Qing Mantra, that 10% of the impurities can be completely removed. "
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Alright, I will give you this much for now. Train hard and don't disappoint me."
"Yes, Master!"
An Zhi Shui's face was full of determination. She knew how difficult it was to become Ling Xian's apprentice. She also knew that this was an opportunity that many people could only dream of. Why wouldn't she treasure it?
"Very good."
Ling Xian nodded in satisfaction. "Then you can stay here and train. I have other business to attend to. I need to leave the Wan Jian House."
"You're leaving just like that?" An Zhishui's eyes flashed with disappointment.
Seeing this, Ling Xian rubbed her little head and smiled, "It's not like I'm not coming back. I'm just leaving temporarily. Just stay here and cultivate in peace. If you encounter any problems, go to the Main Peak to look for the Sect Master. He will help you resolve it. "
With that, he turned around and walked out of the cave.
When he returned this time, he had to make a trip back to Qing City. Plus, he wanted to give the Holy Spirit Water to Ling Tian Xiang as soon as possible.
Therefore, after Ling Xian walked out of the cave, he tore apart space and headed towards the City of Qing.
…..
Ten days later, Ling Xian arrived at the City of Qing when the moon rose.
Luckily, Ling Tian Xiang was currently in isolation at the Ling Clan.
Therefore, under Ling Tian Qing's shocked and happy gaze, Ling Xian left behind many cultivation resources. Then, he arrived at Ling Tian Xiang's place of isolation and saw Ling Tian Xiang, who was wearing all black.
The moment she saw Ling Xian, this woman, who was in a state of consciousness, began to cry. She couldn't stop mumbling, "I knew you wouldn't die."
Only after a long while did she regain her composure. Then, she wiped away the happiness in her eyes and said softly, "You are back."
"Yes, I am back." Ling Xian softly sighed.
It was a very dull and uninteresting conversation. Because the two of them were feeling very complicated. Therefore, after some small talk, they were speechless.
Only after a long while, did Ling Xian break the silence.
"I have a question in my heart. How did you and those women know I was in danger?"
"About that."
Staring at the round moon in the sky, Ling Tian Xiang's black robe fluttered in the wind. She whispered, "I heard from Feng Jiu Ge that you have a contract with her. When your connection was cut off, she sensed it and realized that you might be in danger. "
"Then, she and Bai Xiao Qi used the portal you left on the Trading Island to come to Yunzhou."
"You know how famous you are in Yunzhou. After asking around, they found the people you are connected to. Then, we went to Yuezhou and found out you were trapped in the Forest of Heavenly Trees. "
"And this is also what I am surprised about. I didn't think that more than half of the people you are connected to are women and they are willing to sacrifice their lives for you. "
Then, Ling Tian Xiang looked at Ling Xian with a complex expression. It was unclear if it was bitterness or something else.
This made Ling Xian chuckle and he coughed, "Ehem … ehem … I see. I was wondering why people like you who have nothing to do with each other would get together."
"Who said we have nothing to do with each other?"
Ling Tian Xiang rolled her eyes at Ling Xian and said softly, "We all fell in love with a man named Ling Xian."
"Aye …"
Ling Xian sighed deeply, unsure of how to respond to this.
"You don't have to feel bad. Me liking you is my own business. It has nothing to do with you."
Ling Tian Xiang played with her bangs and said softly, "Seeing that you have returned safely, I am no longer worried. Okay, if you have nothing else to do, don't disturb my training. "
"Training your demonic technique?"
Ling Xian frowned and took out the Holy Spirit Water from his storage pouch, "This is called the Holy Spirit Water. You should know its effects. If you drink it, you will be able to wake up from your demonic state. "
"You can get your hands on such a heavenly item?"
Ling Tian Xiang's eyes flashed with strangeness. Naturally, she knew the effects of the Holy Spirit Water. Every time she wakes up, she has been searching for it.
"It was a coincidence." Ling Xian grinned, "Take it. Don't turn yourself into a killing machine."
"I don't need it."
Ling Tian Xiang said softly, "Today, I can control it. Every time I feel like I am possessed, I lock myself up. After a while, I can regain my consciousness. "
"But this is not a long term solution. You should wake up completely." Ling Xian frowned.
"If I drink this, my strength will decrease by half, if not all," Ling Tian Xiang said softly, "So, I refuse."
"Without strength, you can train slowly. But if you lose your mind, then you will no longer be you."
Ling Xian sighed, understanding what Ling Tian Xiang was thinking. Then, he stuffed the small jade bottle into Ling Tian Xiang's hand, "I am giving you the Holy Spirit Water. You decide if you want to drink it or not."
Then, in a flash, he floated away.
"You think I don't know that?"
Watching Ling Xian leave, Ling Tian Xiang sighed, "But without strength, how can I help you when you need help?"
