Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

In the grand hall, a pin drop could be heard.

Even the well-experienced elders couldn’t help but gape at Qin Yu.

Not to mention the group of young girls standing outside.

They looked at Qin Yu with eyes full of light.

If it weren’t for the fear of intruding into the hall, they might have already surrounded Qin Yu.

Sect Leader Su Xihe surveyed the scene, gazing at those disbelieving eyes, and couldn’t help but feel an indescribable satisfaction.

Such things shouldn’t just burden her alone as the sect leader.

Now it was evidently much more comfortable.

If she were incompetent, then those present wouldn’t even be a match for incompetence.

”Elders, do any of you still have doubts?!”

She spoke softly, yet her voice flowed like clear spring water, penetrating every corner of the grand hall.

The elders abruptly awoke, but the shock in their eyes still hadn’t diminished in the slightest.

”This is truly a blessing for our Cyan Mountain Sect!”

The Great Elder sighed with emotion, his voice tinged with a touch of wistfulness and relief, and everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing his words.

He continued, addressing Qin Yu, ”Qin Yu, if you have any requests, feel free to bring them up.”

Qin Yu was momentarily taken aback, then bowed respectfully, speaking sincerely, ”The achievements I have today are all thanks to the meticulous teachings of my mentor. I’m eternally grateful, how dare I ask for anything more?”

He again attributed the credit to the sect leader.

Although he knew it was merely flattery, Su Xihe still found it pleasing.

Especially in front of a group of elders.

Watching her smug-faced good sister, Liu Zixiao was speechless.

Clearly it was Qin Yu’s own extraordinary talent and exceptional comprehension, yet she shamelessly claimed credit.

”I think we should elevate Qin Yu’s treatment...”

The speaker was the Second Elder, who never used to give the sect leader a pleasant face, but now he was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.

After Su Xihe directed her gaze at him, the Second Elder spoke to Qin Yu, ”I have a granddaughter, fourteen years old, with an Upper Grade Spirit Bone. If Qin Yu does not mind, let her take charge of your everyday needs...”

His words instantly widened the sect leader’s eyes.

What a shameless old fellow!

What do you mean by taking charge of everyday needs, it’s practically sending his granddaughter straight to Qin Yu’s bed!

Before she could reprimand, the Fourth Elder also stepped forward, ”I have a disciple, beautiful at sixteen, good at alchemy as well. How about letting her be your Alchemy Child...”

This undoubtedly redefined what an Alchemy Child means.

When there are drugs, let the child practice, and when there aren’t, practice the child.

Saying this even stirred Qin Yu’s interest, these... seem to be what he’s lacking.

Currently, it’s Lin Qianqian and Yin Qinghe who handle his everyday needs; if there’s a maid following, it would indeed be more convenient.

”I also have a junior...”

The elders all began to speak, seemingly competing for Qin Yu’s favor.

Even if Qin Yu had the inclination in this regard, it was impossible to accept them all.

Not to mention whether the body could endure it, too many people would definitely disturb the cultivation.

Alchemy requires not only the enhancement of cultivation but also vast amounts of time to research techniques, naturally making it impossible to dedicate so much time to... pleasures.

”Enough!”

Just as the sect leader angrily wanted to reprimand them, the Great Elder stood out, his expression serious, eyes sharp, glancing over the elders, ”This is the Immortal Sect’s main hall, how unbecoming is it for you elders to clamor endlessly?!”

”Hmpf!”

The sect leader echoed with a light snort of agreement.

She already felt Qin Yu was wasting his cultivation at night. If there were more Dao Companions, does it mean no need to cultivate during the day?!”

Once the hall quieted down, the Great Elder turned to Qin Yu, his sternness subtly melting away, ”Qin Yu, you are new to the Immortal Sect and might not be very familiar with it. I have a pair of twin daughters, aged thirteen, gentle in nature, quite knowledgeable about the sect inside and out. If you are free, they could accompany you around the sect to familiarize you with the environment...”

”...”

Everyone’s gaze in the hall instinctively focused on the Great Elder.

This old fox!

His offer was indeed ruthless, double the delight, who could resist?!

Unbelievable.

Saying so, the Great Elder shamelessly gestured, calling in the pair of youthful, tender girls.

They were indeed naturally beautiful, hard to hide their radiance.

Moreover, the two were ninety percent alike, their gaze towards Qin Yu like bright autumn waters, brimming with unspeakable emotions.

Qin Yu, too, seeing such gorgeous sister flowers for the first time, felt a subtle stir in his heart, unconsciously taking another glance.

Really, just one glance!

The Great Elder saw this and couldn’t help but add more happiness, instructing, ”You two, step forward and meet Qin Yu, Alchemist Qin.”

”Alchemist Qin.”

The two girls advanced, their steps as light as willow in the wind, their voices clear and melodious, like mountain springs, soothing and lingering, making the heart melt.

”Great Elder, this cannot be, absolutely not, how could Qin Yu trouble the two fairies...”

Qin Yu hastily waved his hand, cursing inwardly.

Just because he glanced once, he sensed that his mentor’s face had turned a few shades darker, and he needed to find a way to salvage the situation.

Although the young girls were appealing, the mentor was much more cherished!

Qin Yu didn’t expect the reason he was called to the hall was for such matters.

While the elders spoke euphemistically, as long as they secured the opportunity to be with Qin Yu, some things quite naturally had a higher chance of happening.

And this Great Elder, who usually appeared benevolent, was unexpectedly the most outrageous.

Only thirteen years old!

Is this the marriageable age?

Isn’t this asking for trouble?!

Could they give him some respite?

”Qin Yu, do not have any concerns, actually, the elders merely express their genuine affection, additionally, you all young ones of the Cyan Mountain Sect represent the future glory and hope of the Immortal Sect. Getting to know one another shouldn’t be a problem...”

The Great Elder smiled amicably as he spoke.

”...”

Qin Yu’s gaze carried a hint of pleading and quietly shifted to the sect leader.

Though he was the sect leader’s direct disciple, he couldn’t outright refuse the elders’ goodwill, could he?

At this time, it would be best if the sect leader spoke.

But unexpectedly, Su Xihe ignored him, maintaining her composure, sitting calmly as if entirely unconcerned.

Qin Yu’s mouth inadvertently twitched slightly; although his mentor appeared indifferent, he was sure that if he dared agree, his days ahead would be troublesome.

He had seen his mentor clenching his fists several times just now.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu immediately became resolute, taking a deep breath, and said, ”Thank you all for your kindness, but Qin Yu is currently focused on the path, unwilling to be lax in the slightest...”
