Don't take it, I switched to the ruthless way

Chapter 429

Wan Yanzong.

In order to ensure that the sect's inheritance would not be cut off, Feng Jun'an, Shen Zhihai, and a group of Nascent Soul elders discussed and decided: new disciples who have just joined the sect will have the opportunity to worship Yuanying Zhenjun as their master as long as they pass the numerous tests. They no longer need to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage before they can worship a master as per the previous rules.

However, whether the new disciple can really become the disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun after passing the assessment depends on whether Yuanying Zhenjun is willing to accept him as a disciple.

If he passes the assessment but no Yuanying Zhenjun is willing to accept him as a disciple, then he will automatically become an inner disciple and enjoy the treatment of an inner disciple.

All the disciples who fail the assessment will become outer disciples, whose treatment is much worse than that of inner disciples. The first and foremost point is that the spirit stones they can receive every month are only a small fraction of what inner disciples receive.

The assessment location for new disciples is set up in the Recruiting Hall, and the content of the assessment includes spiritual root aptitude, mentality, comprehension, character, hard work, etc. Every new disciple will undergo such an assessment, and the assessment process will also be recorded in detail with a recording stone, so that the Yuanying Zhenjun can watch it in the future and select the disciples they are satisfied with.

So Lu Yan chose his first disciple: Ye Shuqiu.

Ye Shuqiu was already a twelve-year-old girl. She was taller than her peers, but very thin and with a yellowish complexion. She was obviously very malnourished. Her eye sockets were sunken, making her brown-bronze eyes, like glass, appear even bigger.

Ye Shuqiu originally failed the assessment and was not qualified to be accepted by a Nascent Soul cultivator, but Lu Yan made an exception and accepted her.

This is because Ye Shuqiu was already a very outstanding killer when she was in the mortal world, and she was also a killer who used a sword.

But this was not the only reason why Lu Yan accepted her as her apprentice. The most important reason was Ye Shuqiu's tearful cry when she failed the test:

"Why! Why don't you let me pass the test?! Why can't I be full of anger just because I'm young? Why can't I be too murderous just because I'm young? Everyone I kill deserves to die! I'm vindictive, but what's wrong with killing my enemies?! You don't even know what I've been through since I was a child. This kind of test is unfair! I don't accept it! I don't accept it!!!"

It turns out that Ye Shuqiu was originally the daughter of a general who guarded the country in the mortal world. One day, the general was framed by a villain and ended up with his entire family being executed.

Ye Shuqiu was rescued by the general's subordinates, and later joined a killer organization. In the end, she single-handedly slaughtered the entire family of villains who had killed her family.

Of course, there is still one last murderer who has not been dealt with, and that is the emperor who was afraid of her father's powerful military power.

Therefore, the hatred in Ye Shuqiu's heart could not be eliminated, and she was filled with such hostility and murderous intent that she could not pass the assessment for new disciples of Wan Yanzong.

When Lu Yan understood the whole story, she immediately decided to take her as her apprentice.

Lu Yan said to Ye Shuqiu, "My sword path emphasizes killing. You are full of hostility and murderous intent, which is in line with my way of killing. But there is one thing I need to make clear to you first. Once a cultivator has established his foundation, he has officially entered the immortal path. From then on, he cannot interfere with anything in the mortal world at will. If he causes unpredictable serious consequences by interfering with the mortal world, it will be a violation of the master's sect, and his cultivation and spiritual roots will be abolished and he will be expelled from the sect. Do you understand?"

Ye Shuqiu listened silently and gritted his teeth, "If the disciple has not yet advanced to the foundation-building stage, can he use the means of the secular world to resolve the grudges in the secular world?" Even a fool can be taught!
Lu Yan nodded in appreciation and continued, "But you must be careful not to use the methods of cultivators to deal with mortals in the secular world at will. This is not only the rule of the sect, but also related to your state of mind in future cultivation... I will slowly guide you when you practice in the future. Now, you can kowtow and become my disciple!"

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"

"Good!" Lu Yan grinned, thinking that he had finally accepted a satisfactory disciple, and his heart was suddenly filled with great excitement and endless expectations.

So Lu Yan immediately took Ye Shuqiu to practice, and personally taught her many small details of practice such as drawing Qi into the body.

Ye Shuqiu has both earth and wood spiritual roots, is hardworking and hardworking, and is a hard-working person. He successfully drew Qi into his body that day. However, this is also due to the fact that the spiritual energy in Wanyan Sect is very rich now, and the spiritual energy in the peak where Yuanying Zhenjun is located is even more abundant.

On the second day, Lu Yan was still patiently and enthusiastically instructing Ye Shuqiu in his cultivation, and from time to time she also went to instruct other disciples of Jianfeng in their daily cultivation.

While guiding Ye Shuqiu in her cultivation, Lu Yan suddenly had some realizations. She seemed to feel that as a sword cultivator, she could be even more pure...

Just when Lu Yan was about to fall into deep thought, he suddenly received an order from the sect leader.

So she could only regret that the fleeting insight disappeared without a trace, and after giving Ye Shuqiu a few instructions, she flew towards the direction of Heming Palace.

When Lu Yan arrived at Heming Palace, the first person he saw was not Feng Junan, but a tall male cultivator.

Lu Yan's pupils trembled, and she said in surprise: "Brother Zhuo! You're back!"

At this time, Zhuo Ping was already a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but Lu Yan was used to calling him Senior Brother, and for a while he hadn't had the chance to change his words and call him Uncle Master.

Zhuo Ping didn't care about it and smiled gently, "Junior Sister Lu, I heard that you have accepted a satisfactory disciple. Congratulations!"

“Alas!” Lu Yan waved his hands, having recovered from his surprise. “You have now advanced to the Divine Transformation Realm, that is cause for celebration! From now on I must call you Uncle-Master!”

As he spoke, Lu Yan bowed solemnly to Zhuo Ping: "Disciple greets Uncle Master Zhuo!"

Seeing Lu Yan's mischievous smile, Zhuo Ping shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Nephew Lu, there's no need to be so polite!"

Lu Yan put down her hands, looked up, and smiled at Zhuo Ping.

At this time, Feng Jun'an personally stepped forward and said to Lu Yan: "Now that you have finished reminiscing about the past, I will start talking about business."
