Chapter 0009 The Mountain of Di is Yours

As the intricate pattern dispersed, a vast passage suddenly emerged within the sea of clouds, and the azure talisman flew into it, causing Gu Min to no longer see the surrounding scenery

He had heard many things about practitioners in the city of Yingdu, but never had any storyteller mentioned these matters

The old man slowly scrutinized Gu Min for a few moments, then smiled and said: "Indeed remarkable, just in terms of appearance, you are quite similar to how I looked in my youth. I believe your innate talent must not be lacking either, destined to achieve something great in the future. A young man like you is perfectly suited for Di Mountain. I would like to ask you, are you willing to join my Di Mountain, to take me as your master and become a disciple of Di Mountain?"

Dying on the eve of dawn is the most painful thing

At that moment, the old man also realized the problem. He looked at the green bead in Gu Min's hand, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes. Immediately, he wished he could slap himself twice, wondering how he had made the mistake again

It is Asang

What does this thing eat, grass or something else

Gu Min did not go to see her, but Kuo Xue kept staring at Gu Min, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable. He turned his head, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Senior Sister, you..."

The old man merely glanced at him, did nothing else, and was already about to speak of accepting a disciple, which seemed quite hasty

Gu Min felt somewhat bewildered, but he quickly knelt down and said to the elder: "Disciple Gu Min wishes to join the Di Mountain sect, to diligently follow the master's orders, devote himself to cultivation, and promote the Di Mountain."

He raised his head to look at his master, a look of confusion on his face

Gu Min noticed her, but he had no intention of paying her any mind, as there were still unresolved grievances between them

Gu Min stood up and roughly realized that the elderly man before him was his master, whom he had never met before

Although Asan had mentioned earlier that the Master of Dishan intended to take him as a disciple, he had not yet formally accepted him. It is possible that there are still some tests to undergo. If he were to immediately address him as Master upon arrival, it would undoubtedly leave a very poor impression.

There is also a fish soaring in the sky

Fortunately, nothing unexpected occurred with that blue talisman, as it gently descended onto the open space in front of the thatched cottage at the mountain's peak

Turning his head to glance behind him, Gu Min calmed his mind and began to reflect on the events that had transpired since leaving the city of Yingdu. He slowly recounted everything, starting from his first encounter with Luo Xue, followed by being pursued by the ghostly cultivator. As he went through it all, he furrowed his brow when he reached the moment when Zhu Youzhu had unleashed an unparalleled sword strike. It seemed he had recalled something.

He had considered this matter before and even went so far as to bring many gold ingots. However, when he encountered that ghostly cultivator, the situation became critical, and he threw all the gold ingots away. Now, he is left with nothing and has no money to pay the entrance fee.

The best timing should be when Gu Min has achieved a small level of mastery in his practice, at which point the master bestows this item upon him to demonstrate the importance placed on Gu Min, thereby allowing him to develop a greater sense of belonging

Both senior sisters are practitioners, so they can jump around freely, but he is not one of them and does not wish to meet an untimely end here

As he spoke, the old man reached into his bosom and quickly took out a green bead. He handed the green bead to Gu Min and said with a smile: "This item is called the Hunyuan Pearl, its power..."

This is a stony mountain devoid of vegetation, with only rocks of varying sizes scattered across it, along with several rivers winding around the mountain like ribbons

This is the true world of practitioners, Gu Min murmured

"Good little junior brother." Luo Xue smiled, her eyes resembling two crescent moons, their beauty beyond measure, yet Gu Min could only feel a headache coming on.

Listening to Asang's final words, Gu Min did not respond. He did not understand why that unknown master would place such importance on him. As for these practitioners, Gu Min still only had a superficial understanding, and naturally, he would not know the extent of their supernatural powers.

Speaking human words and the like are merely very simple matters

Gu Min said honestly: "Previously, I heard from Senior Sister Asang and Senior Sister Luoxue that the treasure of Dingshan is the Zhu Youzhu."

Is this a fish

Gu Minyi was taken aback, entrance fee?

Concentrate the mind

"That is a mullet, a fish raised by the master," Luo Xue explained understandingly to Gu Min. In this world, various sects of cultivation often keep some exotic beasts within their mountain gates. Most of these beasts are used to guard the gates, but there are also some that have developed intelligence and become cultivators within their respective sects.

How can one produce a sound similar to that of a cow mooing

... ...

He did not know what his master was thinking and could only go along with his words.

She turned her head to look at Asang

Asang's expression remained unchanged, yet a faint smile could be discerned at the corners of his mouth

Asang also sensed the strange atmosphere; she looked at her master and silently sighed within. The Zhu Youzhu had already recognized its master, and as long as Gu Min did not betray and escape from Di Mountain, the Zhu Youzhu would naturally belong to Gu Min in the future. However, it should not have been bestowed upon her at the time of initiation.

Three people are standing in front of the thatched cottage

Gu Min looked at the bull's head, and gradually a strange thought began to form in his mind

... ...

The atmosphere became somewhat delicate for a moment

Gu Min sighed inwardly, always feeling that his future days would not be easy to endure

Disciple, do you know what my most treasured possession is? Since it has already been taken by mistake, it would not be appropriate to ask for it back, the old man said, accepting the error.

The old man nodded and smiled, saying: "Indeed, it is this object in your hand. I learned about you through the Candlelight Pearl long before your encounter with Luo Xue. After observing you, I found that you are truly a good young man with feelings and loyalty. Therefore, today I bestow upon you the Candlelight Pearl, and the hope for the revival of the Yashan sect, as well as the position of the next leader, all rest upon your shoulders!"

Before long, Asang stood up and jumped directly off the talisman. Luo Xue glanced at Gu Min and also jumped down. With no one at the helm, the talisman began to sway in the wind. Gu Min clung tightly to the talisman, not daring to move.

Rubbing his forehead, Gu Min wanted to continue pondering some matters, but he noticed that Luo Xue had already approached. However, this woman merely stared at Gu Min without saying a word

He contemplated this matter, then looked at the old man with a peculiar expression

Equally unbelievable is Gu Min, who, by a stroke of luck, was able to meet Luo Xue. It is already a fortunate event that he could join Di Mountain, but how is it that on the very first day of entering the mountain gate, his master entrusted him with the mountain's greatest treasure and the position of the next sect leader?

She sat before the azure talisman, and at this moment, she extended her hand, drawing an extremely intricate pattern in the sea of clouds. It resembled a talisman, yet the aura it emanated was remarkably gentle

In a state of chaotic thoughts, Gu Min, who had suddenly begun to wander thousands of miles away, suddenly heard a voice

In the end, Asang let out a hum, and the old man then spoke: "Hahaha, my disciple, do not be anxious. I am merely joking with you. As practitioners of the Dao, we do not concern ourselves with worldly wealth. As long as you devote yourself to your cultivation in the future, it will be the best reward for your master. Today, as you enter the sect, I also have a gift for you as a token of your initiation."

The eyes are filled with infinite expectations

Apart from the two senior sisters, Asang and Luoxue, there was an elderly man with white hair and a wrinkled face. The man was tall and wore a long white robe, exuding an air of a transcendent being with an ethereal presence.

The answers to these matters will gradually be revealed by him later, but not now

After a moment, everything suddenly became clear, and what came into view was a mountain and a picture book

Gu Min stared at the bizarre fish with the heads of cattle, bodies of fish, and tails of snakes, which also had wings, his eyes wide open

The blue talisman floated slowly forward, occasionally accompanied by one or two fish that would fly beside it, their curious eyes observing Gu Min.

He took a few steps forward, approached the old man, bowed to him, and said: "I have met the venerable elder!"

Although the junior brother is handsome, isn't it inappropriate for him to take the position of the senior sister as the leader just like that

Gu Min took the green bead and immediately recognized that it was not a mixed sky bead, but rather a candle swimming bead. That familiar feeling was unmistakable to him

I fear that no other exotic beast from any other family is as unfortunate as the catfish from Dushan.

It turns out that this woman had been staring at him just so he would call her "Senior Sister," allowing her to respond with "Junior Brother."

The latter, however, always smiled and made eye contact with him

However, I heard before that this Candlelight Pearl is a treasure of the Dingshan Mountain. Why is it that now the master has casually bestowed it?

but not quite sure

Hearing that the position of the sect leader of Dishan is to be passed to her junior disciple, Luoxue gaped in disbelief, as it had previously been said that it would be given to the senior sister.

However, Luo Xue has not yet discovered anything particularly special about the fish in the Dushan Mountain. Instead, her master, whenever he has free time, would catch one and grill it by the stream to eat

Regardless of whether the practice is for the sake of Mount Di, it must be stated this way at this moment

The old man laughed heartily, reached out to support Gu Minshuang's arms, and pulled him up. He was very pleased, saying, "Good, good, good, Asang, take your junior brother to pay the entrance fee."
