Immortality and cultivation begin at age forty, starting with Foundation Establishment.

A big shot has arrived in the Demon Wolf Legion.

He is a Golden Core cultivator from the Yu family.

Chen Ying happened to be bringing four Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Song family to the Demon Wolf Battle Group to discuss plans for the next war.

The two Golden Core cultivators happened to meet outside the camp.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Yu." Chen Ying had never heard of Yu Mochou, but she noticed a Yu family mark on Yu Mochou's apricot-yellow Taoist robe.

Perhaps because they were both women, Chen Ying had a good first impression of Yu Mochou.

Unfortunately, Chen Ying miscalculated. Yu Mochou didn't have much affection for her, just like the disgust she felt when she first saw Chen An. Now, she was also disliked.

Yu Mochou nodded without responding and continued walking towards the Demon Wolf Legion's camp.

She had heard of Chen Ying's name; it had been a hot topic among the lower-level cultivators in the sect for the past decade—a green wooden sword that severed the bonds of love.

Chen Ying's sword, the Green Wood Sword, is a piece of art that few disciples in the entire sect haven't seen. The male and female disciples at the lower levels all envy Chen Ying's reputation as a prodigy, as she was able to break through to the Golden Core stage before she was even sixty years old.

Yu Mochou knew that Chen Ying was just a vessel for others to use in their attempts to break through to the Nascent Soul stage; otherwise, the Song family wouldn't have spent so much effort to cultivate Chen Ying.

In Yu Mochou's eyes, a furnace without any autonomy is not qualified to address her as senior or junior sister.

If it were another Golden Core cultivator from the Yu family, they might have been more diplomatic, chatted casually with Chen Ying, and even offered her some resources to show goodwill towards the Song family.

But Yu Mochou's attitude was very direct. Her expression was as if she had written several big words on her face: You dare to compare yourself to me?

Chen Ying clenched her fists, feeling a surge of anger she couldn't let go of.

The four Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Song family who were nearby quickly stepped forward to comfort her. Chen Ying didn't recognize the Golden Core cultivators from the Yu family, but the four of them knew all the Golden Core cultivators in the entire sect.

Yu Mochou was a cold and aloof person in the Yu family.

When Yu Mochou was in the Foundation Establishment stage, she was forced by her elders to marry into the Shangguan family. On her wedding night, she killed the groom from the Shangguan family, and the Yu family compensated the Shangguan family with a lot of resources.

The marriage between Yu Lanhua and Shangguan Longhui was also intended to ease the feud between the two families.

Later, through her own efforts and with the support of her family's resources, Yu Mochou successfully condensed her golden core at the age of 140.

As soon as Yu Mochou improved her cultivation, she began to take revenge, arresting the elder who had forced her to marry and sending him to the Yu family prison.

The Golden Elixir is the principle, and the strong are the principle.

Even now, there are still cultivators who have taken special longevity medicines and live in the Yu family's prison. As long as Yu Mochou lives, they will always be prisoners.

Chen An and Yu Peiyao went out to greet them, bowing respectfully to each other.

Yu Peiyao then adopted a fawning expression, took out a storage bag from her bosom and handed it to Yu Mochou, saying, "Uncle Mochou, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!"

Yu Mochou accepted the storage bag, not out of greed for resources, but because she admired Yu Peiyao, a junior. Back in the family, due to her personality, few of the younger generation were willing to pay their respects to her.

Only Yu Peiyao was willing to bring some small gifts when she visited her grandmaster Yu Mochou, and she never asked for anything in return.

Yu Mochou never gave resources to her juniors, including Yu Peiyao, who never received any resources from her.

Yu Peiyao's persistence only earned her a few words of guidance, but even so, she was deeply grateful.

The item in the storage bag was a huge beast bone that Chen An had also acquired when he harvested the Soul-Nourishing Grass. Chen An had studied this beast bone for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Besides its pungent odor and poisonous nature, Chen An had no way to use the bone in the short term, so he gave it to Yu Mochou as a gift when he became her disciple.

The Yu family is skilled in crafting weapons, so they must know the special properties of animal bones.

The reason Chen An was willing to offer such a valuable treasure was because the Yu family had sent word that they would forge him a magic weapon and a one-time life-saving magic weapon.

The one-time magic sword that Wang Rulong used to deal with third-tier demonic beasts was also obtained from the Yu family, and that magic sword was just an ordinary item in the Yu family's inventory.

This time, the items the Yu family gave Chen An were a magic treasure personally crafted by a Golden Core cultivator and a one-time life-saving magic treasure, which was definitely a sign of the Yu family's high regard for Chen An.

Chen An's apprenticeship ceremony was also an expression of goodwill.

Yu Mochou looked Chen An up and down and asked curiously, "You're Chen An? You don't have any special abilities, so how come you're so troublesome?"

"First, you established a demon-hunting team, then you found the Soul-Nourishing Grass, and you even had Senior Brother Qingchen cover for you and help you take a female cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root as a concubine."

"The battlefield is no quiet either. Are those Qi Refining disciples, Yan Gang and Wang Kui, really as amazing as the legends say? That they can make you gain a lot of resources even while you're in seclusion on the battlefield?"

"To break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage before the age of fifty, forcing those old fogies in the Yu family to take you seriously, is truly astonishing."

"So, are you willing to become my disciple? Pei Yao has already told you about my situation. Apart from my mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, I don't have much influence in the Yu family."

"If you want to form your core in the future, you'll still need to rely on your own efforts."

"Disciple greets Master." Chen An bowed respectfully, indicating his willingness to become a disciple.

In fact, for Chen An, Yu Mochou was a very suitable person to become his apprentice, more suitable than any of the other elders of the Yu family.

When Chen An and Yu Peiyao were talking about the elders of the Yu family, they discussed the issue of taking on a master. In the entire Yu family, only Yu Mochou had no other juniors who needed to be trained.

As for Yu Mochou's lineage, it was managed by Foundation Establishment stage elders, and Yu Mochou herself held the position of a Golden Core stage elder.

Chen An doesn't lack the support of Foundation Establishment cultivators; he needs a Golden Core cultivator as a backer. Chen An is well aware that the other elders of the Yu family may not be as willing to support him unconditionally as they would their own direct descendants.

Yu Mochou is the best candidate. The resources of Yu Mochou's lineage will not be given to Chen An, but Yu Mochou herself is enough.

Moreover, Yu Mochou's favorability rating reached forty as soon as they met, even higher than when they first met Yu Peiyao.

Outside the Demon Wolf Legion, Chen Ying remained, her face ashen with rage. Just moments before, she had felt utterly humiliated.

But Chen Ying had no way to respond.

Yu Mochou is in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. She is the senior sister and a senior, so she has the right not to respond.

Under the persuasion of the four elders of the Song family.

Chen Ying turned and left.

Chen An's apprenticeship went smoothly. Yu Mochou was easier to talk to than he had imagined, and his favorability rating rose to fifty in a simple chat.

High-level cultivators rarely have a high degree of goodwill towards low-level cultivators.

There are many cases similar to Chen Ying's back then.

Because high-level cultivators don't need to care about the thoughts of low-level cultivators.

If a low-level cultivator fails to deliver results that satisfy a high-level cultivator, they should be ignored and disliked.
