My little sect, which disappeared a thousand years ago, has become a sacred site!

Gu Changyuan saw all of Jun Anshi's little actions. A faint smile flickered across his lips, but he didn't point it out. He simply raised his hand slightly.

A gentle spiritual energy slowly descended, enveloping the two siblings and instantly healing all their wounds, even restoring the disordered spiritual energy within their bodies to its original state.

Not only that.

Even their tattered, blood-stained clothes were restored to pristine condition by the flow of spiritual energy.

Jun Mukong looked down at his perfectly intact hands, then touched the robes on his body that looked brand new, his eyes filled with shock.

Jun Anshi was also stunned, and she gently moved her wrist.

There used to be a deep wound there, exposing the bone, but now it's smooth as new, without even a scar.

The two exchanged a glance, then turned and bowed deeply to Gu Changyuan.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Gu Changyuan waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be so polite.

His gaze swept over the two of them, and he asked casually:

"It's a small matter, don't worry about it."

"By the way, which sect do you two belong to? If it's inconvenient, I can escort you back to your sect."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Mukong and Jun Anshi were both stunned.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly reflecting a myriad of thoughts.

After a moment, they gave stiff smiles, and Jun Mukong spoke:

"Reporting to senior, we are all independent cultivators now and do not belong to any faction."

That smile, though maintained with effort, carried a hint of undisguised bitterness.

Gu Changyuan looked at them but did not ask any further questions.

He simply nodded, and then said:

"Then, are you willing to become my disciples and join my forces?"

Upon hearing this, the two were instantly stunned.

Becoming an apprentice?

This senior, whose strength is unfathomable, actually wants to take them as his disciples?

They were well aware of their own talents—in this world of cultivation, they were merely of average ability, or even mediocre.

In those major sects, no one would even give them a second glance.

Why did this senior choose to take them in?

Jun Mukong frowned slightly, his mind churning with thoughts.

Jun Anshi didn't think that much about it.

She simply looked at the man in front of her, feeling the gentle yet powerful aura emanating from him, and his gaze that was completely devoid of any malice.

I thought about becoming his disciple in the future and seeing him often, instead of just this one chance encounter.

Some of Junan Shi's customers, who were obsessed with appearances, didn't think much of it and responded:

"Yes, Senior, I am willing!"

Jun Mukong: "???"

He stared wide-eyed at his usually lively but also quite composed younger sister, who had agreed so readily? Wasn't that a bit too fast?

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he only sighed softly.

Forget it.

This senior was, after all, their savior, and given his strength, if he truly had any ulterior motives towards them, he wouldn't need to be so roundabout.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed in greeting.

"Yes, senior, I'm willing too."

As they spoke, the two exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with the same unwavering determination.

Then--

They knelt down directly on the gravel-strewn ground.

Without any hesitation or delay, their movements were perfectly synchronized.

"Knock knock knock".

He kowtowed three times, and it was a truly hearty kowtow.

Gu Changyuan watched the two of them act so decisively and swiftly, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

That was decisive.

There were no empty excuses or tests.

He gently raised his right hand, and a soft aura lifted the two of them from the ground.

At the same time, the spiritual energy gently brushed across their foreheads, instantly erasing the red marks left by the impact, leaving not a trace.

"it is good."

Gu Changyuan looked at the two of them, a hint of satisfaction in his voice:

"From today onwards, you will be my thirty-first and thirty-second disciples."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his right hand in a gesture.

Two streams of light flew out from his palms and condensed in the air into two palm-sized tokens.

The token is entirely black with a gold border around it.

The front is engraved with an ancient character "天" (heaven), while the back bears the exclusive mark of the sacred land of heaven and man.

The token floated to the front of the two siblings and hovered silently.

Jun Mukong and Jun Anshi reached out and took the token, their eyes fixed on it, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

To be able to become a disciple of such a powerful figure is naturally an immense opportunity.

But—wait a minute.

Thirty-first? Thirty-second?

The two of them froze, their joy instantly turning to dust.

They looked up at their new master, their eyes filled with confusion and shock.

what?

More than thirty disciples?

Master, just how large is your power? How can you take in so many disciples all by yourself?

Is it in this river?

Countless thoughts flashed through Jun Mukong's mind in an instant.

Could it be one of those evil forces that use the guise of taking on disciples to actually do some shady things?

Jun Anshi was in a similar situation; her beautiful eyes were filled with the thought, "Have we fallen into a trap?"

Gu Changyuan couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the two men's expressions change so dramatically.

He didn't explain, but simply tilted his head slightly and softly called out to the sky:

"Qingxue, Lingxi, come down."

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures, as beautiful as celestial beings, gracefully landed on either side of him.

Upon suddenly seeing two women with extraordinary temperament and stunning beauty, Jun Mukong and Jun Anshi were completely stunned.

So beautiful.

It's not the kind of beauty that's superficial, but a beauty that radiates from within, as if it resonates with the great principles of heaven and earth.

Especially Jun Anshi—her attraction to good looks wasn't limited to men. Seeing her two stunningly beautiful senior sisters, she was completely stunned.

Of course, she is straight.

But that doesn't stop her from appreciating beauty.

Gu Changyuan introduced them to the two:

"These two are your eldest senior sister and fourth senior sister—Ye Qingxue and Yue Lingxi."

Senior Sister? Fourth Sister?

Upon hearing that these two fairies were actually their senior sisters, the two were shocked.

They quickly composed themselves and bowed respectfully to Ye Qingxue and Yue Lingxi:

"Greetings, Senior Sister! Greetings, Fourth Senior Sister!"

Ye Qingxue nodded slightly, a faint smile on her face:

"Rise. Now that you've joined Master's sect, you're family. No need for formalities."

Yue Lingxi stepped forward and gently helped Jun Anshi up, smiling as she said:

"If you have any questions in the future, just come to your senior sister."

Gu Changyuan nodded in satisfaction as he watched this scene.

"Alright, now that the matter is settled, let's head back to the Central Region."

Upon hearing that he was to return to the Central Region, Jun Anshi immediately became curious: which faction did his master belong to?

Jun Mukong hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but speak:

"Master, may I ask... what our sect is called?"

Gu Changyuan smiled slightly and uttered four words calmly:

"A sacred land for celestial beings".
