Chapter 84 Shi Qinghan Becomes a Disciple

"Shi Han, let's become sworn sisters!" Shi Qinghan suggested.

"Okay! Since we're from the same hometown, we're practically family in this cultivation world!"

Gu Shihan took out incense and lit the candles, and the two knelt down to worship facing the clear blue sky and bright sun.

"The fertile earth bears witness, and the bright sun is our testament!"

"I am Shi Qinghan!"
I am Gu Shihan!

"We voluntarily become sworn siblings! Shi Qinghan will be the elder brother, and Gu Shihan the younger sister! We will support each other on our path of cultivation and never betray each other!"

Gu Shihan and Shi Qinghan bowed three times to the heavens and the earth before getting up.

"Hello, brother!"

"Hello, little sister! From now on, we're family." Shi Qinghan's eyes sparkled, as if something had changed.

“Brother, since that’s the case, I’ll be frank. In my previous life, I was from H country. However, I had some complicated experiences from a young age. I joined an al-Qaeda organization and became a mercenary. After retiring and returning to my hometown, I encountered a plane crash and transmigrated here.”

Gu Shihan briefly explained her past, and there was no need to delve into it further.

A look of relief flashed in Shi Qinghan's eyes as he said, "My experience is rather ordinary. In my previous life, I was the CEO of a company. I ended up here in a car accident. If it weren't for you, little sister, I would have a 99% chance of not surviving. Little sister, I will work hard to cultivate in the future and protect you!"

"Alright! Big brother, what are your plans for the future? Should we investigate the Shi family? Talking about revenge is just empty talk. Since you've used someone else's body, shouldn't you do something for him?"

“Little sister, you’re right! We need to get to know the Shi family, and we should take revenge if we can. Of course, I’m a person who distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and I’ll also make sure I know right from wrong. I won’t act recklessly.”

Gu Shihan nodded. From Shi Qinghan's words, she could tell that her newly recognized elder brother was indeed of good character.

"Brother, go and practice this. If you master it, you'll have a better chance of survival. We'll go hunt monsters again in ten days."

Gu Shihan thought for a moment, then took out the Shadow Splitting Technique manual and had Shi Qinghan practice it.

Shi Qinghan didn't put on airs. He was quite aware of his own capabilities and knew that Gu Shihan didn't leave because she was worried about him, since he was too unfamiliar with the cultivation world.

After several days of practice, Shi Qinghan successfully mastered the first level of the Shadow Splitting Technique.

After getting ready, the two plunged into the forest. When they encountered monsters or anything like that, Shi Qinghan would handle them, while Gu Shihan would only intervene when Shi Qinghan was in mortal danger.

The opponents she chose for Shi Qinghan were all high-level demonic beasts, because one's potential often explodes at the moment of life and death.

Shi Qinghan's aptitude and comprehension are indeed quite good, and his combat ability has improved rapidly. Before he knew it, the advantages of this body had become apparent.

After several battles, he naturally began to use his footwork. Shi Qinghan was overjoyed and began to practice it by feeling.

It wasn't that he was too arrogant; it was just that he knew in his heart that he couldn't miss this opportunity, because if he missed it, he might never feel it again.

Gu Shihan noticed Shi Qinghan's unusual behavior and gave him a reassuring look, keeping a close eye on his safety.

Whenever he encounters a crisis, she will intervene without harming the monsters he is fighting.

Half an hour later, Shi Qinghan finally killed the demon beast with a single sword strike.

"Congratulations, elder brother! Your footwork has reached a minor level, and your swordsmanship has improved!" Gu Shihan stepped forward quickly, smiling. "Thank you for protecting me, little sister! I've gained a lot today, and I'm confident I can surpass what I've achieved before! Let's continue!"

The two stayed in the Soul Devouring Forest for more than three months before deciding to leave the forest and return to the Five Flowers Sect.

The real reason is that Shi Qinghan is about to form his core, and it's always unsafe to do so outside. If he could go to the Thunder Tribulation Garden, things would be different.

In the main hall of the Wuhua Sect, Gu Shihan looked at Sect Master Huatian and said, "Senior Brother, this is an elder brother from Qingluo's hometown, Shi Qinghan. Qingluo recommended him to join the Wuhua Sect."

"Well, our sect welcomes those with ambition, but you must swear an oath to your inner demons, refraining from doing anything that harms the Five Flowers Sect, from cultivating evil or demonic arts, and from indiscriminately killing the innocent. Shi Qinghan, can you do that?!"

The majestic voice of the Hua Tian Sect Master rang out, and a faint pressure descended upon Shi Qinghan.

With clear eyes, Shi Qinghan solemnly made his vow.

"Good! My Five Flowers Sect has gained another prodigy. I wonder if anyone is willing to take him as a disciple?!" The Sect Master of Hua Tian looked at the peak masters and elders present.

Venerable Miaoyin and Venerable Danhua exchanged a glance and said, "Shi Qinghan, would you be willing to become my disciple, Miaoyin?"

“Your Excellency, Shi Qinghan is willing! Master, please accept my bow!” Shi Qinghan quickly stepped forward, knelt down and bowed.

Shi Qinghan never dreamed that he could become an apprentice, and that his master was the Supreme Elder of the Wuhua Sect, a Nascent Soul Venerable.

Venerable Danhua smiled and handed over a storage bag. After exchanging greetings, Venerable Miaoyin's third disciple, Wuchen, took Shi Qinghan away.

“Junior brother, my secular name is Bai Yu, my Daoist name is Wuchen, and I am Master’s third disciple.”

My master is Venerable Miaoyin of the Immortal Sword Peak of the Five Flowers Sect. My eldest brother is Wen Lan, whose Daoist name is Wuwei, and he is at the late stage of the Golden Core realm. My second sister is Liu Qingshuang, who is at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and her Daoist name is Wuhui. My brothers and sisters are all out training and have not yet returned from their missions.

"Junior brother, those peaks are our accommodations. You can stay on one of those peaks!" Wuchen introduced as they walked.

"Senior brother, do you mean I live alone on a mountain peak?" Shi Qinghan was stunned.

"Yes! This is a perk for us direct disciples, and of course only the disciples of Master and Senior Uncle Danhua have this privilege."

"Junior brother, there are accommodations at the summit of the mountain. The area above the halfway point needs to be managed by you, or you can hire someone to manage it, but we mostly manage it ourselves."

"Senior brother, you're going to manage such a huge place all by yourself? Isn't this way too big?" Shi Qinghan looked at the vast medicinal herb fields, his eyes flickering, unsure if he could really manage them.

Wuchen looked at his junior brother. This was the first time he had complained about having too many things. He decided to stop teasing him and said seriously, "Junior brother, you can use a puppet. It's just that I don't have any extra puppets. Otherwise, I could give you one."

"Senior brother, it doesn't matter, I'll just go buy one!" Shi Qinghan said with a smile, unconcerned.

"Buy it! Junior brother, this depends on luck. Good puppets only appear occasionally, but Junior Sister Gu has several. You can ask her for one. This is my Core Formation experience. Take a look; it might be useful to you. Take some time to reflect before you start cultivating. Farewell!" Wuchen said with a smile.

"Oh?! I understand, thank you, senior brother! I've got it. Take care, senior brother!"

Shi Qinghan quickly got ready and watched Wuchen walk away, feeling at ease.

Having a place to stay means having a nest of your own in this strange world, and a super big one at that, many times larger than your own large apartment.
