Mortals, and even my disciple Han Li, don't mess with me!

As soon as Wu Yun sat down, Liu Yu offered him tea.

Do you know why I asked you to stay behind and talk to me alone?

After taking the tea and taking a small sip, Wu Yun then asked in a leisurely and pretentious manner.

"It must be that the junior possesses something that the senior needs."

Liu Yu answered very respectfully.

"Indeed, she's a clever girl."

Wu Yun nodded with considerable appreciation upon hearing Liu Yu's answer.

"Then, may I ask what it is about this junior that you have taken a fancy to, senior?"

After saying this, Liu Yu was also very nervous and uneasy. Her face turned pale, and she lowered her head, not daring to meet Wu Yun's gaze or even look at him.

After much thought, she realized that apart from her figure and appearance, and the virginity she had preserved that might be of some use to Wu Yun, she seemed to have nothing else.

However, Wu Yun had just finished the dual cultivation ceremony, so logically and emotionally, even if he was extremely lustful, he couldn't possibly make a move on her at this time.

Moreover, as far as she knew, Wu Yun did not seem to be the kind of person who was lustful.

He just enjoys taking on apprentices.

"Could it be that you want to take me as your apprentice?"

This thought lingered in Liu Yu's mind, filling her with a mixture of unease and secret joy and anticipation.

Being able to become a disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator is definitely a good thing for her, even though she comes from the Spirit Control Sect.

Wu Yun's answer surprised her, but also disappointed her.

"I've heard that you possess a savage spirit insect called the Six-Winged Frost Centipede. This insect is somewhat useful to me, so I'd like to make a deal with you. If you give me this insect, I can grant you one request. Whether it's elixirs, magical treasures, or anything else, as long as you ask, I will absolutely not refuse if it's something I can do."

"Six-winged Frost Centipede! I do indeed possess this spirit insect, but it is merely a larva. If you wish, Senior, I can bestow it upon you. As for my request, I wish to become your disciple."

If Wu Yun hadn't killed Shattered Soul True Person with a single strike, proving his terrifying and unparalleled strength and supernatural abilities, Liu Yu would never have made this request, because it would have been tantamount to betraying the Spirit Control Sect.

Although the Yuling Sect is not as powerful as the Hehuan Sect, it is still the second largest sect in the demonic path. Betrayal there will definitely not end well.

She would never betray someone unless absolutely necessary.

But now things are different, because Wu Yun has shown strength that is no less than, and even slightly surpasses, that of the Yu Ling Sect.

If you don't seize the opportunity to cling to Wu Yun's powerful backer at this moment, you'll miss your chance.

But what she didn't know was that as soon as she finished speaking, before Wu Yun could even think of how to refuse, the system's familiar voice rang in his mind.

[The "Teacher-Oriented Immortal Cultivation System": The system has detected that the character Liu Yu wishes to become an apprentice. The host may accept him as a disciple. Reward 1: Three Nascent Soul stage Six-Winged Frost Centipedes! Reward 2: One percent True Dragon Bloodline, capable of wielding the True Dragon Armor, which can withstand attacks from cultivators of the same realm and is unharmable except by attacks of the Heavenly Treasure level. Reward 3: One level 10 Demon Core, one top-grade spirit stone, and one Immortal-Slaying Pearl. Reward 4: Divine Transformation level Divine Sense Power. Reward 5: Five Nascent Soul Pills. Reward 6: One late-stage Nascent Soul puppet. Current choice—Choose two out of six!]

After hearing about the reward, Wu Yun fell into deep hesitation.

In Liu Yu's view, Wu Yun was considering whether or not to take her as his apprentice.

Of these six rewards, the True Dragon Bloodline is a must-have, even though it only grants a 1% chance.

However, the True Dragon bloodline is undoubtedly the most superior bloodline among all True Spirits.

In particular, the supernatural abilities he can unleash give him more ways to save his life.

Therefore, there is no doubt that a choice must be made. As for the remaining four choices, they put Wu Yun in a dilemma.

Because each of these things plays a significant role for him right now.

The six-winged frost centipede at the Nascent Soul stage and the puppet at the late Nascent Soul stage can both become his help in the future.

The divine power of a Nascent Soul level cultivator can greatly increase his strength.

In this way, in terms of divine power, no one in the entire Tiannan cultivation world can compare to him.

If someone were to secretly plot something in front of him, it would be virtually impossible. He could also anticipate the enemy's moves, which was a great help to him.

He didn't care much about the level 10 demon beast cores; he also didn't care much about the top-grade spirit stones. Instead, he cared more about the Immortal Extermination Pearl.

This is also a great help, and his own strength combined with this Immortal-Slaying Pearl is enough to threaten even a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The last five Nascent Soul Pills can greatly reduce the time it takes for him to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

But to be honest, this thing is actually the least useful to him, because he already knows about the Spirit Candle Fruit and the Creation Pill.

Both of these pills can also help him reduce the time it takes to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

In addition, he also knows who refined the Infant Nourishing Pill. Once his strength has improved further, he can go to the Great Jin Dynasty to find the person who refined it.

As for breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage, that's still a long way off and doesn't need to be considered now.

After much deliberation, Wu Yun finally decided to choose one percent of the True Dragon bloodline and the divine power of the Nascent Soul stage.

This caused his divine power to surge, and his physical body also became stronger.

Because he also possessed another treasure, the Ox Talisman.

The Ox Talisman can further increase his physical strength, making his body incredibly powerful.

He was even confident that he could withstand the attacks of other Nascent Soul cultivators' magical treasures with his own body.

However, this idea remained just a thought.

His divine sense power at the Nascent Soul level allowed him to perceive the surrounding noises more clearly.

Furthermore, the ability to anticipate the enemy's moves is a significant advantage.

"Alright, I can take you as my apprentice."

After deciding on his options, Wu Yun accepted Liu Yu as his apprentice.

After all, this apprentice was quite intelligent and could help him manage many things.

"Disciple Liu Yu greets Master!"

Upon hearing Wu Yun's words, Liu Yu immediately bowed to his master.

"Alright, no need for formalities. Come, let's go see your senior brother and have him prepare a small gift for you. He has quite a few good things on him; even I might not be able to compare."

Wu Yun chuckled, then got up and took Liu Yu to find Han Li.

Faced with Wu Yun's words, Liu Yu was somewhat taken aback, but she obediently followed behind Wu Yun to find Han Li and the other person.

After finding the two, Wu Yun immediately told Han Yunzhi about Liu Yu's apprenticeship, which greatly surprised her.

But she didn't say much in the end, only congratulating Liu Yu on finding a good teacher.

"After you return to your sect, simply answer the questions truthfully with this jade slip. If your Grand Elder has any objections, he can come to me."

Wu Yun handed the prepared jade slip directly to Han Yunzhi, and comforted her with a smile.
