Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 26 Apprenticeship
Gu Shihan felt depressed. The first one to be cannon fodder was Gu Shihan, who shared the same name as her.

Gu Shihan felt that the Heavenly Dao was too blind. How could the Heavenly Dao approve of Gu Yufei's methods?
I misspoke. Gu Yufei really is dead. You could say she was taken by heaven.

Gu Yufei is currently just a soul from another world. How could Gu Yufei ascend? Is it because she is a soul from another world that she was chosen by Heaven to be the chosen one of destiny?
Clearly, the path she cultivated wasn't truly righteous; on the contrary, it resembled evil cultivation methods. How could she possibly withstand the tribulation and ascend to immortality? Gu Shihan sighed…

"Little girl, you're awake?!" Gu Shihan was startled by the voice and jumped up quickly, looking around warily.

"Heh, quite vigilant! Not bad, not bad!"

This was an extremely simple house, with three men and one woman inside. Gu Shihan recognized one of them as Mo Yu.

The other three were clearly highly skilled cultivators. Looking at the wary Gu Shihhan, one of them chuckled and said, "Haha... It's alright, you still have plenty of energy!"

The moment Gu Shihan saw Mo Yu, her heart sank back into her stomach. She was relieved to be alive and breathed a sigh of relief. She bowed and said, "Gu Shihan greets all the seniors!"

The woman's eyes flickered, and she asked, "Are you a member of the Gu family?"

“Ah! No! It’s just that we share the same surname as the Gu family!” Gu Shihan replied.

She comes from another world and shouldn't be considered a member of the Gu family in the spirit world. Besides, she really doesn't want to have anything to do with the Gu family. As for the female lead, Gu Yufei, she'd rather stay as far away as possible!
"Gu Shihan, would you be willing to join my Wuhua Sect and become a disciple?" The man in purple robes sitting next to the female cultivator asked.

Gu Shihan was overjoyed, not expecting that she could complete the task this way, and quickly said, "I'm willing!"

"Ding! Mission updated. Become a disciple of any one of them and receive +10 Fate-Changing Points; failure results in -20 Fate-Changing Points."

Gu Shihan took a deep breath to calm her inner turmoil and secretly sized up the people in front of her.

The female cultivator wore a light blue robe, beautiful yet not vulgar; on the contrary, she exuded a sense of aloofness and heroic spirit.

The male cultivator beside her was dressed in a purple robe, exuding an aura of someone who had long held a high position. His gaze was piercing, and he radiated an imposing presence without even trying to be angry.

There was another man dressed in a brown robe with faint gold and five-colored patterns on the sleeves. He looked to be about forty years old and had a friendly smile on his face. He was the most amiable of the group and the first to speak.

"Yes! I am Hua Tian, ​​the sect master of the Five Flowers Sect! These are our sect's Supreme Elders, Venerable Dan Hua and Venerable Miao Yin!" The man nodded and waved his hand.

Mo Yu took out a spirit testing disc and walked towards Gu Shihan: "Junior Sister Gu, let's test your spiritual root!"

"Testing spiritual roots?!" Gu Shihan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, a fleeting look of confusion crossing her eyes.

The Chaotic Pure Body must never be exposed, so what spiritual root should I use to show others?
Gu Shihan thought for a moment, then placed her hand on the spirit-testing plate. Two beams of light, one red and one green, shot into the sky, covering the entire plate.

"Not bad, dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, with full spiritual root quality, excellent aptitude!" Hua Tian, ​​the sect master of the Five Flowers Sect, said with a smile.

Gu Shihan was also stunned. She had only thought about showing off her dual fire and wood spiritual roots and had forgotten about the spiritual root quality.

"Gu Shihan, would you be willing to become my disciple? I am Danhua! You have dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, making you a promising candidate for alchemy!" asked the brown-robed male cultivator, Venerable Danhua.

"Uncle-Master, you're going to take on a disciple?!" Sect Master Hua Tian exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, I only have one disciple, Mo Yu, unlike you guys who have a whole string of disciples. Mo Yu is too lonely, it wouldn't be bad to find him a companion!" Venerable Danhua said with a smile.

Gu Shihan wasn't one to be pretentious; she immediately bowed down, saying, "Disciple Gu Shihan greets Master!" "Ding dong, quest to join the sect completed, quest to become an apprentice completed, Fate-changing value +20."

Gu Shihan felt relieved; another task was completed. She respectfully kowtowed, and Mo Yu, who was beside her, brought her a cup of spiritual tea.

Gu Shihan accepted the tea, thanked him, and offered it with both hands: "Master, please have some tea!"

"Haha! Not bad, not bad!" Venerable Danhua took the tea and drank it all in one gulp. He then took out a storage bracelet and handed it to Gu Shihan, nodding and saying, "A gift for becoming a disciple!"

"Thank you, Master!"

"Yes, come and pay your respects to your Martial Uncle, Venerable Miaoyin, and your Senior Brother, Daoist Huatian!" Venerable Danhua said with a smile.

Gu Shihan politely bowed to the two of them, accepted the two storage bags, and then bowed to Mo Yu.

"Young Mo, take your junior sister to the affairs hall to collect her identity token and disciple allowance, then return to Danjian Peak and arrange her accommodation!" Venerable Danhua instructed.

After Gu Shihan and Mo Yu left, Sect Master Hua Tiandaojun asked, "Uncle-Master, why...why did you suddenly decide to take on a disciple? This girl's background is a bit unclear. Is this a good idea?"

Venerable Danhua looked at Miaoyin and asked, "Junior Sister, what do you think?"

“Senior brother, I can’t see through this little girl. Her secrets seem to be hidden. Whether she is the chosen one or a variable is still uncertain. Is this why you took her as your disciple?” Venerable Miaoyin asked.

"Not entirely. When I examined her body, I sensed the power of merit. How could a child with a bone age of less than fifteen have so much merit? Since she has merit, it means she is not a malicious person. If she is a chosen one, that would be even better."

If not, it's a variable, but based on her merits alone, it's still a good thing for our Wuhua Sect.

Now, heretical cultivators are stirring, and demonic cultivators are eyeing us covetously, yet everyone is misled by the peaceful times, failing to make progress and instead hindering each other, making the future uncertain. We need to plan ahead!

"Yes! Martial Uncle, the Heavenly Mystery Sect mentioned visitors from outer space, I wonder if this counts? Never mind, since Martial Uncle has accepted her as a disciple, then she is a disciple of our Five Flowers Sect, and we Five Flowers Sect will protect her. May I ask when Junior Sister Gu's apprenticeship ceremony is scheduled?" Hua Tian nodded and asked.

"Three days later, Danjian Peak!" Venerable Danhua waved to the two of them and returned to Danjian Peak, leaving Venerable Miaoyin and the sect leader with helpless bitter smiles.

"Uncle-Master, what are your thoughts?" Hua Tian asked.

"No, our sect's recruitment day isn't far off, is it? Hopefully we can recruit a few good candidates."

"Uncle-Master, are you also thinking of taking on a disciple?" Hua Tian asked with a smile.

"Hmm, I have some ideas! If I see someone I like, I'll take them on as my last disciple. Bai Yu and the others have already reached the Core Formation stage." Venerable Miaoyin said with a distant look in his eyes.

Venerable Miaoyin actually had only three disciples: her eldest disciple Wen Lan, who was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm; her second disciple Liu Qingshuang, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm; and her third disciple Bai Yu, who was in the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

The three of them are currently training outside and haven't returned to their sect for over a year.

Hua Tian, ​​the sect leader of the Five Flowers Sect, is the senior brother of Venerable Miaoyin and Venerable Danhua, Venerable Yaoyang. Hua Tian is his only disciple and ascended to immortality five hundred years ago.
