Chapter 5 Master's Wife, Master, Can I Lend You My Hand?
Chapter 5 Master's Wife, Master, Can I Lend You My Hand?
The sect leader investigated Jiang He's strength.
"You have already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, good, good, good."
Wait a moment, I'll prepare some ritual implements for you.
"Why don't you wait two days before going into seclusion? I'll refine these demonic beasts into magical artifacts, which will ensure your success in the tribulation."
The sect leader was very pleased to see that Jiang He's strength had improved to a new level.
But the thought of his daughter about to undergo the tribulation of lightning made him very worried.
He needed to quickly prepare some magical artifacts for his daughter so that they could also protect her from the lightning tribulation.
"Father, don't be in such a hurry. You've already given me quite a few magical artifacts."
"Can this tribulation be the same? You're not allowed to secretly go into seclusion; you must wait for me."
"Alright, alright, I'll wait for you for two days. I'll go into seclusion after two days."
If she doesn't wait, her father might cry in front of her.
"By the way, since you weren't here during the sect's general election, I had Yunzhou select two disciples for you. Would you like to go and take a look?"
Or you can look inside to see if there's anything you like.
Now that you're almost at the Nascent Soul stage, it's time to take on a few disciples.
"Okay, let me see."
Jiang He remembered that she did indeed take on two disciples in her dream.
"You agreed?"
"Then I can refuse."
"You've already agreed, so you can't go back on your word. Both of them are quite qualified; take a look and see if you like them."
If it suits them, then accept them; if not, then observe this batch of new disciples in the inner sect.
No matter what, you should at least accept one.
I'd even be willing to be your housekeeper.
The next sect election will be in five years. You can then choose a few people who suit your taste.
Look at the other senior brothers and sisters, they all have taken on a bunch of disciples.
"If they don't accept any, the Qingyun Sect will suffer a complete collapse."
Jiang He nodded; she would accept it, she would definitely accept it.
She had already made up her mind to take the child in.
Jiang He went directly to Yunfeng.
Seeing the scene at Yunfeng, Jiang He was surprised to find that it had become so lively in just ten years.
A new spirit beast garden has been built on this cloud peak, where some spirit beast cubs are kept.
There's also a spirit herb garden, where some, well, spirit herbs with little spiritual energy, have been planted.
These are mostly herbs that are only a few months old, with only a few that are several years old. What kind of spiritual energy could such herbs possess?
Oh, and there's another garden, filled with all sorts of ordinary grasses.
Because it was planted in this location, it has a thin layer of spiritual energy on its surface. However, it doesn't actually possess any spiritual energy.
There were also all sorts of random, non-spiritual things.
What is Gu Yunzhou up to?
This means abandoning spiritual practice and instead experiencing the mundane realities of life.
Why not just go live in the human world?
This is even more down-to-earth than what I saw in my dream.
Jiang He felt that the spiritual energy of Yunfeng had a strange smell.
In one place, the smell was so foul it could only be described as stench.
Gu Yunzhou sensed Jiang He's arrival.
Jiang He is back? Jiang He is back!
Jiang He has been gone for ten years, a full ten years.
Jiang He owes him a birthday gift for ten years.
We also need to make up for the housewarming gift we gave him back then.
Oh, and his breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm is also something to celebrate.
Gu Yunzhou was unhappy because Jiang He left without leaving anything behind, so he held his breath and broke through from the early stage of Golden Core to the middle stage.
He is now at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, just like Jiang He.
Gu Yunzhou stood up excitedly.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Everyone was eating when they saw their master suddenly stand up excitedly.
"Quickly, Jiang He is back. Come with me to greet her."
"Master, who is Jiang He?"
The new apprentice asked curiously.
He hadn't finished eating yet, and when Jiang He arrived, they couldn't eat anymore; they had to go outside to greet her.
He'd never heard of this Jiang He before.
"Jiang He is your master's wife. Quickly, your master's wife will prepare a gift for you to meet her later."
The newly accepted disciples had not yet met Jiang He.
Perfect timing, let Jiang He give the gift at the same time.
Oh, right, he also helped her take in two disciples.
With pressure from the sect leader, Jiang He will definitely have to take one in.
These two disciples are about the same aptitude, so Jiang He can choose whichever he prefers.
He helped Jiang He raise his disciples for five years, and Jiang He had no choice but to thank him.
Resources for training disciples should also be provided.
Gu Yunzhou was already thinking about how much stuff Jiang He should send over, all of which would be appropriate.
Liu Yan felt very sad when she saw her master's excited expression.
She usually loved seeing her master smile, but his smile now felt so jarring.
Does Master care that much about Master's wife?
Why did my master's wife come back after ten years of absence?
Can't she just never come back?
Gu Yunzhou walked out, and his disciples followed closely behind.
"Jiang He, you're back?"
Jiang He nodded.
"You've been gone for ten years, that's too long. Did you encounter any opportunities during this training trip? I'm already at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm."
Jiang He probed Gu Yunzhou's cultivation level. Had he just entered the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm? His cultivation didn't seem very stable.
I remember ten years ago, I was in the early stage of the Golden Core realm and was about to break through to the middle stage.
Did Gu Yunzhou really take ten years to achieve this breakthrough?
Moreover, none of Gu Yunzhou's headdress, jade pendant, sachet, belt, or shoes seemed to possess any spiritual energy.
Hmm? Jiang He looked closely and found that they were indeed ordinary objects without spiritual energy, not high-level magic treasures that concealed their aura.
Is it that defensive magical artifacts aren't good enough? Or has Gu Yunzhou become so stubborn that he no longer cares about these defensive magical artifacts?
This robe is probably the only thing on his body that offers any form of defense.
However, this robe is not very defensive; it can only withstand one attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator before being destroyed.
Most importantly, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and has the properties of being dustproof and stainproof, so that cultivators do not care about the external environment and do not need to consume spiritual energy at all times to maintain the bright and shiny appearance.
Jiang He thought that if she made a move now, she could kill Gu Yunzhou in a few sword strikes.
While Jiang He was sizing up Gu Yunzhou, Gu Yunzhou was also sizing up Jiang He.
He realized that he had not been able to detect Jiang He's cultivation level.
Wasn't Jiang He at the same mid-stage Golden Core realm as him? Could it be that she's already at the late-stage Golden Core realm?
The smile on Gu Yunzhou's face faded considerably.
"By the way, you weren't here during the sect's general election, so the sect leader asked me to take on two disciples for you." Gu Yunzhou didn't want to hear Jiang He say that she was now at the late Golden Core stage.
He then summoned his five newly accepted disciples to come forward.
"These five are my newly accepted disciples. Take a look and see if any of them catch your eye. If you like them, you can take them back with you."
Jiang He looked at the five disciples in front of her. Hmm, where is the child from the dream?
But I did see those two ungrateful wretches she had taken in during her dream.
She took in two disciples, and seeing that Gu Yunzhou had four disciples, she sent them to Gu Yunzhou to study together.
Anyway, they are all sword cultivators, and their basic training is the same.
Whether Gu Yunzhou's eldest disciple brings four or six disciples, it's still the same.
She prepared a lot of cultivation resources for them, and to thank Gu Yunzhou, she also sent him a lot of resources.
However, those two disciples ultimately stood firmly by Gu Yunzhou and Liu Yan's side, swindling a lot of resources from her and giving them to Liu Yan. In the end, they even felt that her innate talent should be given to Liu Yan.
These two traitors are too lenient to be killed with a single sword.
I don't know how Gu Yunzhou teaches his disciples. It's been five years, and all five of them are still only at the second level of Qi Refining.
Ten years have passed and Liu Yan is still only at the third level of Qi Refining. Aren't they equally incompetent?
If she doesn't provide resources, none of them will be able to cultivate anymore.
Jiang He stepped forward and, while examining the individuals' physiognomy, gave them some nice gifts.
There are countless ways for someone at the peak of the Golden Core stage to deal with a few Qi Refining Stage 2 kids; hopefully, they'll like this one.
She could clearly see the hostility in their eyes.
The hostility shown upon first meeting can only be due to certain words spoken by certain individuals.
Are these the only five?
"Hmm? You think it's not enough?" Could it be that Jiang He has her eye on them all? If she wants to take all five disciples with her, that's fine too; we can discuss the resources.
Moreover, all the resources can be given to Yan'er.
Yan'er's aptitude is indeed somewhat lacking. If Jiang He could provide her with more cultivation resources, Yan'er should be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage sooner.
Is there anything else?
"Master's wife, Master did indeed take in six at first, but the other one has already been expelled from the sect by Master." Seeing that Master did not want to say more, the eldest disciple stepped forward to explain.
