Chengming Palace.

There were more than ten people inside the hall at this time, and these people were on both sides of the hall.

And in the very center seat was Gu Qianqiu.

At this moment, there was a person kneeling in front of Gu Qianqiu.

"Shi Yi, from now on you will be my sixteenth official disciple."

"I hope you will continue to cultivate diligently in the future and not waste your talent for cultivation. In this way, you may very well attain immortality and live a carefree life."

"The path of spiritual practice is long and arduous; only with perseverance and determination can one achieve something."

Gu Qianqiu looked at Shi Yi, who was kneeling on one knee, and spoke of his expectations for Shi Yi.

His previous disciples had said the same thing.

He then helped Shi Yi up.

He was naturally satisfied with the disciple before him.

"Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will keep them in mind."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi replied with a serious expression.

Within a sect, the master-disciple relationship is very close, sometimes even surpassing the bond between family members, because it is the one who can inherit and continue the lineage.

Just like the position of peak master of Gu Qianqiu, his descendants may not be qualified to obtain it, but as Gu Qianqiu's formal disciples, they have the opportunity to strive to become the next peak master.

Of course, this is extremely difficult, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.
"Before you, I had fifteen disciples."

“Your senior brother and second senior sister are true disciples of our Ancient Moon Peak. They are not currently in the sect. Their cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, and they are traveling abroad seeking a breakthrough. They will not be returning for some time.”

“Your fifth senior brother, seventh senior sister, and eighth senior sister are core disciples of Guyue Peak. The three of them have taken on a sect mission together and will not return to the sect for some time. You can take the initiative to visit them then.”

"The remaining ones are your tenth senior brother Lin Wenze, your twelfth senior brother Qu Xiujie, your thirteenth senior sister Chi Daihe, and your fifteenth senior sister Ji Peipei."

"As for the remaining few, they perished on their cultivation path!"

"On the path of cultivation, tribulations such as human tribulations, spiritual tribulations, and inner demon tribulations are all obstacles on the path of cultivation. Only by overcoming them can one make further progress; if one cannot overcome them, one will die and one's cultivation will be extinguished."

"I hope you will all keep these things in mind."

Gu Qianqiu looked at the four people beside him and introduced them to Shi Yi one by one.

These four are all elite disciples who cultivate within the sect and have not taken on any external missions.

On the path of spiritual cultivation, some people are perfectly fine one day, but the next day they die and their spiritual essence dissipates during the cultivation process!

While Shi Yi's path of cultivation was smooth sailing, some people went astray during their cultivation, ultimately dying and losing their cultivation.

Even though these people were Gu Qianqiu's disciples and were exceptionally talented, some of them still perished.

Having a master take you on as a disciple and enlighten you doesn't mean you won't encounter any tribulations. Some tribulations are external, while others are internal. Having a master to guide you can help you avoid detours, but sometimes you still inevitably encounter some detours. If you want to get through them, you can only rely on yourself!
Having high talent in cultivation doesn't guarantee a long journey; many die halfway through.

Gu Qianqiu has said these words many times.

"Junior brother Shi Yi greets Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Qu, Senior Sister Chi, and Senior Sister Ji."

Shi Yi then took the initiative to greet them.

These people don't have strong qi and blood; they're all at the warrior level.

However, this is quite normal. When Shi Yi entered the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm before, the elite disciples he met were basically all at the warrior level in terms of martial arts cultivation.

On the contrary, it is very rare to see a master of bone refining martial arts with his level of martial arts cultivation.

The four people responded to Shi Yi warmly, telling him that he could ask them for help if he encountered any problems, and that he could also tell them if he needed assistance.

The courtyards where the people lived were close to each other and not far apart.

As for the remaining people in the main hall, they were people invited by Gu Qianqiu to serve as witnesses.

Shi Yi had become a formal disciple after being a nominal disciple, and he already held a certain weight in Gu Qianqiu's heart.

However, he hadn't yet reached the level of a direct disciple or core disciple, so the apprenticeship ceremony wasn't very grand.

If Shi Yi is promoted to a true disciple in the future, Gu Qianqiu will have to invite even more people to witness it!

Because the emergence of a true disciple in a sect is no small matter.

After the apprenticeship ceremony was completed, Gu Qianqiu kept Shi Yi behind alone.

Seeing this, the others wisely left.

"The Golden Crow Carrying the Sun Diagram you practiced before was not a complete technique."

"As my disciple, you may now cultivate this book, 'Golden Crow Carrying the Sun,' which can lead to the stage of meditation. This technique must not be passed on to others."

"If you wish to obtain the cultivation method for further advancement to the realm of immortals, then you will only be able to obtain the subsequent cultivation method once you become a true disciple or your cultivation of Daoist arts reaches the level of 'sitting in oblivion'."

"I look forward to your future performance."

With a slight thought, Gu Qianqiu summoned a scroll that floated in front of Shi Yi.

This is the main cultivation method of the Guyue Peak lineage.

A complete cultivation technique can lead to the realm of immortals. However, in Guyue Peak, not many people can obtain a complete main cultivation technique because the requirements for obtaining a complete technique are very high, and many people cannot meet these requirements.

However, within Guyue Peak, each additional person who obtains the complete main cultivation technique represents the emergence of a high-ranking figure within Guyue Peak, and also signifies an increase in Guyue Peak's combat strength.

Gu Qianqiu's words were actually giving Shi Yi a goal and expressing his expectations for him.

Gu Qianqiu was very optimistic about Shi Yi's current talent for cultivation.

However, what the future holds depends on Shi Yi's future performance!
"Disciple, thank you master."

Shi Yi accepted the book and expressed his gratitude.

Previously, he did not have the subsequent cultivation method of the "Golden Crow Carrying the Sun" painting, and at that time, his cultivation was mainly focused on consolidation.

In this situation, his cultivation of Dao techniques could advance even further on this foundation, thanks to the effects of the Heavenly Fire Golden Pill. However, once the effects of the Heavenly Fire Golden Pill were exhausted, his cultivation progress slowed down.

Although Shi Yi wanted to obtain the subsequent cultivation methods at that time, he also knew that this matter could not be rushed. After he completed the advancement assessment, he would naturally be able to obtain the subsequent cultivation methods. Originally, Shi Yi thought that at the very least he could obtain a cultivation method at the Yuan Dan level, and if he was lucky, he could obtain a cultivation method at the Dharma Aspect level.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qianqiu directly gave him a cultivation method that led him to the level of "sitting in oblivion," which was more complete than he had anticipated. Now, all he lacked was a cultivation method for the realm of immortals.

However, it also shows how much the sect values ​​elite disciples like them, and how highly Gu Qianqiu regards him; otherwise, he wouldn't have done so.

All of this made Shi Yi feel a chill in his heart.

"Your Taoist cultivation is progressing very quickly, and I have even higher expectations for you. I hope you can go even further."

"Your Taoist cultivation is advanced, and you have the Golden Crow Divine Fire for offense, which has good destructive power. However, you have not yet cultivated any defensive Taoist techniques, which is a major deficiency."

"This Glazed Eight Desolations Shield Protection Technique is more compatible with our cultivation of the Golden Crow Carrying the Sun Diagram, and its defensive capabilities are also very strong. It is a gift from your master, and I hope that this protection technique can help you go further on your cultivation path."

“When fighting against Taoist masters, while relentless attack may be useful, it is too extreme. Only by combining offense and defense can one go further.”

As soon as Gu Qianqiu had a thought, another scroll flew to Shi Yi's side.

This was also a protective technique he had prepared.

Shi Yi became his disciple, giving him a more comprehensive main cultivation method, but only providing a little help. This protective Taoist technique was something he had specially prepared.

He was very clear about Shi Yi's situation because he had watched the whole thing when Shi Yi was competing in the inner courtyard.

At that time, he discovered that Shi Yi was skilled in Taoist arts, with ample offensive capabilities, but lacked defensive measures.

Within the inner courtyard, there are not many disciples with strong abilities. Therefore, Shi Yi was able to secure a place in the top ten of the inner courtyard with his powerful Taoist cultivation and offensive Taoist techniques. However, after Shi Yi was promoted to an elite disciple, these abilities became somewhat insufficient.

Because disciples at this level have mastered more and more complete Taoist techniques, it is very difficult for them to win by relying solely on offensive Taoist techniques.

This is especially true when you're traveling, because you never know when an accident might happen.

Some extreme individuals might even choose to fight to the death, in which case relying solely on offensive techniques would not be enough.

As he knew, Shi Yi was in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm. According to Qin Yao, if Qin Yao hadn't intervened, Shi Yi might have met his end at Qu Sheng's hands.

This is the result of not cultivating protective techniques; otherwise, Shi Yi would have been able to hold out for much longer and would have been safer!

Knowing all this, Gu Qianqiu would naturally help Shi Yi make up for some of the shortcomings. This was one of the ways he, as Shi Yi's master, could offer him some assistance.

The Glazed Eight Desolations Shield he chose for his protective Taoist technique is extremely famous. When combined with the Golden Crow Visualization Divine Technique, it can exert an even stronger protective effect.

This Taoist technique is very powerful for self-protection, but it is also very difficult to cultivate. It is not an easy thing for an ordinary person to achieve success in cultivating it. However, he believed that Shi Yi could achieve success in cultivating it.

After all, Shi Yi didn't spend much time cultivating the Golden Crow Divine Fire technique, and he reached a very high level of cultivation.

On this point, he actually had a lot of confidence in Shi Yi, which is why he took out this protective Taoist technique.

"Thank you, master."

Shi Yi accepted it with both hands again, his face full of excitement.

He had naturally seen the protective Taoist techniques before, and according to the relevant records, those famous protective Taoist techniques not only required a certain status to exchange for, but also required a lot of sect contribution points.

Among these protective techniques, Shi Yi naturally wanted one that matched the "Golden Crow Carrying the Sun" painting, as this would allow him to unleash even greater combat power.

However, after Shi Yi learned about the exchange conditions, he realized that it would be very difficult for him to get what he wanted, so he was prepared to choose a less desirable defensive technique.

However, now that Gu Qianqiu has given him the Glazed Eight Desolations Cover, he has achieved his goal in one step!

This Glazed Eight Desolations Shield might not be much to Gu Qianqiu, but for Shi Yi, it was a very suitable protective Dao technique. At the same time, it saved him a lot of sect contribution points and fulfilled the exchange conditions, and also gave him a wider range of choices when selecting other auxiliary Dao techniques in the future.

"As for magic weapons, you already have the Thunder Tribulation Magic Sword. This type of magic weapon is very rare even within the sect. I can't give you anything better."

"With your current level of Taoist cultivation, having too many magical artifacts won't be of much help to you."

"However, you can use this token, along with your previous contributions in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, to ask the people in the Weapon Refining Hall to help you reforge the Thunder Tribulation Sword."

"Your original forging method was too ordinary. With your previous contributions in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, plus some refining materials, you can ask the Refining Hall to help you upgrade the Thunder Tribulation Sword in your hand into a magic weapon. At that time, it can be nurtured in your sea of ​​consciousness to allow it to advance further."

"With your current level of Taoist cultivation, nurturing a magic weapon is just right."

“If you can cultivate spirituality, it will be of even greater help to you, but it will be much more difficult.”

Gu Qianqiu took out another token and slowly said.

After being promoted to elite disciples, they all have a quota to exchange for magical artifacts, and Gu Qianqiu can increase some authority to allow Shi Yi to choose relatively better ones.

Even so, it would be difficult for Shi Yi to obtain something surpassing the Thunder Tribulation Sword in his possession.

Among elite disciples, the Thunder Tribulation Sword is an exceptionally outstanding magical artifact, especially given the destructive power of thunder it contains, which is extremely rare.

However, it is not better to have more ritual implements, because using them requires the use of Yin spirits.

Therefore, at the level of cultivation of Daoist arts, Shi Yi basically only had one magic weapon, because having more magic weapons would be useless if he couldn't use them.

On the contrary, Shi Yi's transformation of the Thunder Tribulation Sword from a magical artifact into a magic weapon greatly enhanced his abilities.

Unlike magical artifacts, magical treasures can be nurtured in the sea of ​​consciousness. During this process, the power of the magical treasure will also increase along with the user, which will raise the attack limit of the Thunder Tribulation Magic Sword in Shi Yi's hand.

Unless one's cultivation level reaches his level, a master of the Sitting Meditation Realm, with numerous thoughts and the ability to divide them into many, is required to control multiple magical artifacts. However, at his level, the effectiveness of the magical artifacts becomes somewhat diminished.

Furthermore, for those who cultivate the Tao, the greater the power they unleash, the more they are in harmony with the Taoist weapon in their hands.

Some cultivators prepare for this from the very beginning of their practice. As their cultivation of Taoist techniques grows, the Taoist weapons in their hands also improve, providing even greater assistance.

Within the Taiyi Sect, the requirements for forging magical artifacts are extremely high, requiring numerous conditions. Gu Qianqiu's statement at this moment was intended to provide Shi Yi with some assistance, consume Shi Yi's previous contributions in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, and supplement some materials, so that the Refining Hall could help him refine the Thunder Tribulation Sword in his hands into a magical artifact.

The conditions are quite stringent.

However, it is very difficult to forge magic weapons in the first place, let alone a magic weapon like the Thunder Tribulation Magic Sword in Shi Yi's hand!

After all, within the Taiyi Dao Sect, those who possess magical treasures are generally Daoist masters at the Dharma Aspect or Meditation levels. There are very few people who possess magical treasures at the Yuan Dan level.

This shows just how difficult it is to obtain a magical artifact.

"Thank you for your help, Master."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi spoke excitedly once again.

He had been wondering why he hadn't been able to get the rewards from the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, but now, after hearing Gu Qianqiu's words, he understood what had happened.
