Chapter 27 Understanding the Wuhua Sect

As Mo Yu led Gu Shihan along the way, they encountered many disciples who came forward to greet him and sized up the beautiful female cultivator beside Mo Yu. Their whispers occasionally reached Gu Shihan's ears.

Gu Shihan remained calm, while Mo Yu smiled and said, "Junior sister, they meant no harm, don't take it to heart! The disciples of our Five Flowers Sect are generally quite harmonious, though there are occasional squabbles."

Mo Yu never dreamed that his master would take him as a disciple. A while ago, he saw Gu Shihan suddenly faint and didn't know what to do, so he sent a telepathic message to his master, Venerable Danhua.

Upon hearing that the little girl had fallen from the sky, Venerable Danhua immediately contacted Venerable Miaoyin, one of the only two Nascent Soul cultivators in the Five Flowers Sect, and Sect Master Huatian.

Venerable Danhua is the only ninth-grade alchemist and array master in the Spirit Realm, and is considered a god-like figure in the Spirit Realm.

There were countless people who wanted to become his disciples, but he never accepted them easily. When Mo Yu was five years old, Dan Hua brought him back to the sect and he became his first disciple.

Everyone assumed that since Venerable Danhua had already accepted his first disciple, it would be natural for him to accept more disciples.

Twenty years have passed, and there has been no further news of any intention to take on apprentices. Many prominent families have sent their outstanding scions to them, only to be dismissed with the excuse that there is no affinity between them as master and apprentice.

Mo Yu looked at the girl beside him. Today, his master, Venerable Danhua, had taken on another disciple, and she was a female cultivator of unknown origin. This was too illogical.

Mo Yu didn't hesitate for long. Now that she had become his junior sister, it was only natural that he should care for and cherish her. With that in mind, he offered his advice.

Gu Shihan smiled radiantly, following obediently beside Mo Yu, which earned her even more approval from Mo Yu.

Upon seeing Mo Yu, Elder Liu of the Deacon Office hurriedly and respectfully asked, "Grandmaster Mo, is this the Venerable One's youngest disciple?"

"Yes, I brought her here to get her identity card and receive her disciple allowance!" Mo Yu said calmly.

"Understood. The Venerable One has informed me that this is the identity jade tablet for this junior grandmaster. He can simply bind it with his blood. There is also his disciple allowance. Please check it." Elder Liu smiled broadly and was extremely respectful.

Gu Shihan accepted the gift and thanked him. She then checked the disciple's allowance with her divine sense and found that there were indeed quite a few items.

“Junior Grandmaster Uncle, a disciple’s allowance can be received monthly, semi-annually, or annually. This time, I have decided to give you a semi-annual allowance.”

"New disciples don't need to do sect tasks in their first year. After a year, they will have corresponding tasks to do. There are jade slips containing sect rules and regulations in their storage bags, which Junior Grandmaster Uncle can view," Elder Liu explained with a smile.

"Thank you, Elder, I understand! From now on, the allowance will be collected every six months! Senior Brother, let's go!" Gu Shihan smiled and nodded, saying.

Mo Yu left with his men, and the office became lively as many disciples gathered around to inquire.

A strikingly handsome man entered the office; he was Zhao Mingyu, the beloved son of Zhao Tianyou, the peak master of Golden Lotus Peak.

Zhao Mingyu looked in the direction where Mo Yu and his senior brother and sister had left, and asked with a smile, "Elder Liu, who was that beautiful woman just now? I've never seen her before."

"Uncle-Master Zhao, that is Gu Shihhan, the newly accepted disciple of Venerable Danhua," Elder Liu said with a smile.

"What? The Venerable One has taken on a disciple? How can he take on a disciple?!" A shrill female voice rang out, and the office fell silent.

"Bai Ling, who do you think you are? Does Venerable Danhua need your permission to accept disciples? So what if you have a fire spirit root? Venerable Danhua said you two have no master-disciple relationship!" Zhao Mingyu sneered.

“Zhao Mingyu, you’re no different. No one can take you under their wing, so you have to become your own father’s apprentice. Tch!” Bai Ling rolled her eyes and retorted.

"I have a father to take as my master, and I'm proud of that. You may have a single fire spiritual root, but you're still just an inner disciple. You even thought you could choose your own master, but in the end, you got nothing. Doesn't that make you feel disheartened?!" Zhao Mingyu unleashed his venomous tongue. Bai Ling was the granddaughter of the head of the prestigious Bai family, possessing a single fire spiritual root. She entered the Wuhua Sect ten years ago.

Bai Ling has excellent spiritual root aptitude, and several peak masters want to take her as a disciple. However, Bai Ling has been pampered since childhood and is determined to become a disciple of Venerable Dan Hua of Danjian Peak, rejecting all those who have extended olive branches to her.

Venerable Danhua disliked her temperament and was unwilling to accept her as a disciple. She caused a scene at the disciple-acceptance ceremony, which angered Venerable Danhua so much that he turned and left.

The other people who had initially thought highly of her also gave up their plans to take her on as a disciple. After all, when it comes to taking on a disciple, one must consider fate, character, and aptitude.

Thus, the Five Flowers Sect produced a genius with a single fire spiritual root, but he did not become an inner disciple or even obtain the title of a nominal disciple.

Bai Ling doesn't know what she was thinking, believing that one day Venerable Danhua would accept her as a disciple, since Venerable Danhua currently only has one disciple.

The reason she was so certain was that one of her great-uncles was an elder in the Tianji Sect. He had once divined for Venerable Danhua, saying that he was destined to have two disciples, one male and one female.

"Zhao Mingyu, shut up! What makes that Gu Shihan worthy of being Danhua Venerable's disciple? Danhua Venerable can only accept me as his disciple, and Mo Yu can only be my senior brother! Hmph, just you wait!" Bai Ling's eyes were sinister, her face ashen, and she left in a huff.

"Uncle-Master Zhao, Junior Sister Bai is acting strangely! Could she be going to cause trouble for Junior Uncle-Master Gu?" Elder Liu asked worriedly.

“That’s quite possible! Bai Ling is a reckless and ruthless person. It’s clear that Venerable Danhua doesn’t like her character if he doesn’t accept her as a disciple. I’ll send a message to Uncle Mo right away and tell them to be careful.”

Zhao Mingyu took out a communication talisman and told Mo Yu what had just happened.

Mo Yu frowned. He was very familiar with Bai Ling, a spoiled and domineering woman who was said to be ruthless. Looking at his obedient and gentle junior sister, he secretly rejoiced that his master had not accepted Bai Ling.

"Senior brother, what's wrong? Who is Bai Ling? Why would she be hostile to me?" Gu Shihan had barely finished speaking when Bai Ling's information appeared on the transparent panel.

Spiritual Root: Fire
Qualification: Superior

Constitution: Ordinary

Comprehension: Medium (Blue)

Appearance: Superior (Blue)

Fate Attribute: Gray Robe++, Inner Disciple of the Five Flowers Sect, died at the hands of the Lady of Destiny during the early Golden Core stage.

"Junior Sister, it's alright. Your senior brother will protect you. Let's go back to Danjian Peak," Mo Yu said gently.

Mo Yu did not take Gu Shihan on his sword, but instead introduced her to the situation in the sect as they walked, avoiding crowded paths most of the time.

The Five Flowers Sect is the second largest sect in the Spirit Realm, with only about 100,000 fewer disciples than the largest sect, the Heavenly One Sect.

Tianyi Sect is a large sect with a million disciples, but Wuhua Sect is no less impressive. In fact, Wuhua Sect is even stronger than Tianyi Sect in alchemy and formations, since the only ninth-grade alchemist in the Spirit Realm is in Wuhua Sect.
