Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

"Senior was unaware of the details, which is why you intruded into my residence. This item is far too precious for me to accept!"

When Hongyun saw Qin Ming casually take out a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes, and at the same time, she became even more determined in her heart.

Qin Ming is a powerful being who was born at the beginning of creation. If he could become the disciple of such a powerful being, his path to enlightenment would be much smoother in the future.

Thinking of this, Hongyun continued, "Senior's cultivation is profound and your supernatural powers are vast; this junior truly admires you!"

"If you do not despise me, senior, I am willing to become your disciple and serve you faithfully from now on!"

Hearing Hongyun's words, Qin Ming smiled inwardly, but feigned difficulty on the surface: "This..."

"I have no plans to take on any disciples anytime soon!"

Upon hearing this, Hongyun became anxious: "Senior, do you perhaps feel that I am not qualified enough and are unwilling to accept me as your disciple?"

"No, your talent and foundation are both excellent, but..."

"Fine, if you truly wish to become my disciple, then promise me that after you take human form, you will sever your connection to the destiny of this cave. Otherwise, you shall accept this Glazed Heart Lamp, and from then on, we shall have no further connection!"

After pondering for a moment, Qin Ming revealed his purpose.

"Sever the connection with the destiny of this cave?"

Hongyun was taken aback. Why would Qin Ming do this?

Could it be that Qin Ming has taken a fancy to this cave dwelling?

Thinking back, Qin Ming mistakenly believed that this was an unclaimed cave, which is why he had entered it.

Could it be that a powerful figure like Qin Ming doesn't even have a decent cave dwelling?

Sensing the suspicion in Hongyun's primordial spirit's eyes, Qin Ming offered no explanation.

For him, taking Hongyun as his disciple was simply a matter of fate.

But in this world, you have to give something in order to gain something.

By taking Hongyun as his disciple, he could save Hongyun from the calamity of being killed in the future.

However, if he is unwilling to give up this cave, even if he helps Hongyun escape a life-threatening situation once, there will be a second and a third time.

And each time it was more terrifying than the last.

Given this situation, why would he want to cause trouble for himself?

He takes on disciples so that they can serve him in his affairs, not so that he can be their babysitter.

Therefore, the choice is entirely up to Hongyun herself.

Seeing Qin Ming with his eyes closed, resting and without any expression, Hongyun was filled with inner turmoil.

Although he had never taken human form, he knew that such a top-tier blessed land was hard to find in the prehistoric world.

If he gives up, wouldn't he be like a rootless duckweed after he takes human form in the future?

But his intuition told him that if he didn't become Qin Ming's disciple today, he would definitely regret it later.

How to choose?

After a long while, as Qin Ming and the others grew impatient, Hongyun finally made a decision: "Senior, I swear that after I take human form, I will definitely sever all ties with the Fire Cloud Cave. Please accept me as your disciple!"

"Haha, you've made the right choice!"

"Today, I will accept you as my second disciple!"

"My sect doesn't have many stinking rules, only two!"

"Firstly, fellow disciples must not kill each other!"

Secondly, when traveling, you must not suffer losses!

"Above you is your senior brother, whose true form is the Bodhi tree. His roots and talents surpass yours. I hope you will work hard in the future and not disgrace our lineage!"

"I will certainly live up to your expectations, teacher. Please accept my three bows!"

As she spoke, Hongyun manipulated her true form, transforming it into the appearance of a Dao body, and respectfully bowed and kowtowed three times to Qin Ming!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for accepting Hongyun as your disciple. The cultivation system has been activated. You are rewarded with the Nine Revolutions Fire Cloud Scripture and the supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Fire Cloud Glazed Fan!"

"Ding! The host has accepted a second disciple. For each breakthrough in the disciple's cultivation, the host can receive a corresponding amount of Law Enlightenment (Note: This can be claimed individually or collected nine times in total; the Law Enlightenment will double after nine collections)!"

Nine Revolutions Fiery Cloud Scripture: By practicing the Scripture nine times, one can achieve the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal status.

Fiery Cloud Glazed Fan: A top-grade innate spiritual treasure that can unleash a sky full of purple extreme heavenly fire, burning the heavens.

Upon hearing the system notification, a look of satisfaction appeared on Qin Ming's face.

Although the reward wasn't as much as when I received the Bodhi seed, it was still pretty good.

"Now that I have accepted you as my disciple, I should naturally impart to you cultivation techniques. This is the Nine Revolutions Fiery Cloud Scripture, and this is the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Fiery Cloud Glazed Fan. I pass these on to you today, hoping that you will be able to cultivate well in the future!"

As he spoke, Qin Ming sealed the Nine Revolutions Fire Cloud Scripture and the Fire Cloud Glazed Fan to a level that Hong Yun could withstand, and then injected them into Hong Yun's body.

"The student thanks the teacher for imparting the cultivation technique and bestowing upon him the spiritual treasure!"

Feeling the power of the cultivation technique and the spiritual treasure, Hongyun was filled with excitement and repeatedly thanked Qin Ming.

"No need for thanks. Now, I will preach to you. Listen carefully!"

With that, Qin Ming sat cross-legged on the ground and began to preach to Hongyun.

While practicing her cultivation technique, Hongyun listened attentively to Qin Ming's sermon.

With Qin Ming's Daoist aura, Hongyun quickly transformed her previous magical power into the power of the Nine Revolutions Fire Cloud Scripture.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed.

At this moment, Hongyun had reached his limit, and upon seeing this, Qin Ming immediately stopped preaching.

"Alright, you should cultivate here diligently. Once you have taken human form, I will come to fetch you back to the Three Immortal Islands!"

"This crystal lamp is also bestowed upon you to help elevate your state of mind!"

Qin Ming stood up and looked at Hong Yun, giving her earnest advice.

"This disciple thanks the teacher!"

Although Hongyun was reluctant to part with him, she knew that she was still a long way from transforming into human form, and Qin Ming also had many things to do, so she couldn't stay here with him forever.

Therefore, even though she was reluctant to part with him, she could only force herself to bow to Qin Ming and watch him leave.

As for Qin Ming, after leaving the Fire Cloud Cave, he did not hesitate at all, used spatial teleportation, and sped towards Buzhou Mountain.

The vast wilderness stretched endlessly, with each continent seemingly without boundaries.

Even though spatial teleportation is extremely powerful, it still took Qin Ming three hundred years to barely reach Buzhou Mountain.

Looking at the majestic mountain, a look of disbelief appeared in Qin Ming's eyes.

He took human form from here back then, endured the Nine-Nine Heavenly Punishment Divine Light Tribulation, fought against the God of Rebellion, and befriended powerful figures like Hongjun and Yang Mei. This was his starting point in the prehistoric world.

Now that he's back here again, Qin Ming naturally feels a sense of disorientation.

"Halt! This is the sacred ground of our Qilin clan. Unauthorized persons are not permitted to enter!"

Just as Qin Ming was preparing to climb Mount Buzhou, an arrogant voice entered his ears.

"Ha, when did Buzhou Mountain become the territory of your Qilin clan?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's face revealed a cold smile.

"How dare you! My Qilin clan rules over the primordial land, and all things on this land belong to our Qilin clan. Who are you to dare utter such arrogant words!"

The Qilin clan cultivator was furious, pointing his finger at Qin Ming's nose and shouting angrily.

"Hehe, very good!"

Seeing this, Qin Ming did not hesitate. With a wave of his right hand, the dense Purification Law carried immense power and directly purified the Qilin Clan cultivator who was pointing at him into nothingness!

Having done all this, Qin Ming began climbing Mount Buzhou as if no one else was around.

The news spread quickly.

When the powerful figures of the Qilin clan learned that Qin Ming had openly and blatantly killed members of their clan, they were furious. Led by the Grand Elder, they quickly rushed towards Buzhou Mountain.
