Chapter 453: Chapter 147: Younger Disciple of the Mansion Master, Golden Core Dao Method (10K votes needed)

The blazing sun hung high in the sky, and True Monarch Gu Lan emerged from an old cobblestone path in the forest. She familiarly strode into a small, fenced courtyard in front of her. Inside the courtyard, a towering Spirit Plant, reaching three or four dozen feet high, spread its branches wide, blocking off the strong sunlight.

A gray-haired old man was sitting next to a stone table under the tree, furrowing his brows as he stared intently at the arbitrarily scattered stones on the table.

It was not until True Monarch Gu Lan sat down next to him that the old man shifted his gaze. He relaxed his brows and turned to look at her.

The old man asked, surprised, “Didn’t you leave a while ago? How did you return so quickly?”

True Monarch Gu Lan glanced at the scattered stones on the table. With merely one glance, the world seemed to be spinning around her, as if the whole universe was about to turn upside down.

This weird sensation caused True Monarch Gu Lan’s complexion to change slightly, and she quickly averted her gaze.

She turned to the old man, smiled, and said, “I just returned. In fact, I returned yesterday and immediately came over to see you.”

The old man chuckled, shaking his head lightly and said, “You certainly are a clever girl. You always used to drop by on a whim, and every time, I would have to part with something from my stash.”

“Now, what is it that you want this time?”

True Monarch Gu Lan snorted lightly, discontentedly saying, “You never leave this mountain, those treasures of yours are just sitting around gathering dust. I am merely helping to relieve you of some of them.”

“Furthermore, I didn’t come here to ask you for something this time. Instead, I have brought you a treasure of an apprentice.”

The old man furrowed his brows, “A treasure of an apprentice?”

“I don’t want, I can hardly provide for myself, let alone an apprentice. I be damned if I take one in.”

“You mustn’t muddle along, girl. Even when our master asked me to take in an apprentice, I didn’t agree.”

The old man adamantly refused.

True Monarch Gu Lan gave a wry smile, “Please, don’t be hasty. During my recent trip to Dà Yuè Prefecture, apart from bringing my junior sister back, I also managed to recruit three geniuses for the Prefecture, all of them being at the Core Formation stage.”

“One of them practices the Ancient Sword Dao, and I plan on having her become You Ruo’s disciple, following You Ruo in practicing the Sword Dao.”

Upon hearing this, the old man nodded, saying, “You Ruo is proficient in Sword Dao, but someone is actually practicing the Ancient Sword Dao? It’s a challenging path. The person must be refined before the sword is, in the end becoming a sword immortal. The hardship along the way is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.”

True Monarch Gu Lan responded, “She’s just a young girl, whose character I’ve observed for some time, and it’s quite good. She was previously managing a sect in Dà Yuè Prefecture, and both her talent and ability are extraordinary.”

The old man smiled and said, “Then it seems You Ruo has found herself a gem.”

True Monarch Gu Lan also laughed lightly, then said, “Another one practice the Five Elements in unison.”

“Huh!?”

The old man was astonished at this and looked at True Monarch Gu Lan, saying, “There are still people practicing the Five Elements in unison these days? And in such a remote place too? How did he gain access to the method of practicing the Five Elements in unison?”

True Monarch Gu Lan shook her head, saying, “I’m not sure. However, he does indeed possess the mana of the Five Elements, and he has even reached the fourth level of the Golden Core stage.”

She looked at the old man and said, “This young lad is a country boy. Despite being just over a hundred years old, he practices the Five Elements in unison and has reached the fourth level of the Golden Core stage. His Dao foundation is a testament to the fact that he’s achieved a first revolution Golden Core.”

The old man was slightly taken aback, “A first revolution Golden Core?”

Instead of replying, True Monarch Gu Lan continued, “In addition, he practices Alchemy, Talisman Technique, and Puppetry Technique. His mastery in these three techniques should have reached the middle tier of the third rank.”

The old man’s eyes bulged wide, looking at True Monarch Gu Lan with disbelief. He said, “Gu Lan, you don’t have to deceive me that way if you want me to take in an apprentice.”

Only Core Formation stage fourth level of cultivation!

Just over a hundred years old!

Practicing the Five Elements alone is fine, but could he really refine Alchemy, Talisman Technique, and Puppetry Technique to the middle tier of the third rank!?

How monstrous must one be to achieve that!

True Monarch Gu Lan gave the old man a disdainful look and said, “Would I dare to lie to you, old man? Besides, if this were a lie, wouldn’t it be easily exposed? With your level, you should be able to tell if he is truly talented or not with just a glance, right?”

The old man came back to his senses and nodded, “Indeed, that’s true.”

After some thought, a look of struggle appeared on the old man’s face. His reluctance to take an apprentice had its reasons. Given his current situation, he did not have much of his lifespan left.

He initially wanted to live out his remaining days quietly on Mount Dayu.

However, True Monarch Gu Lan’s arrival had made a small crack in his earlier decision to not take in an apprentice.

Practicing the Five Elements in unison!

Walking on the same path that the legendary Daozi had tread in the Ancient Era!

And he’s already a first revolution Golden Core, with a nearly perfect Dao foundation. No need for him to worry about teaching or assisting him in Foundation Establishment!

In addition, he’s an Alchemist, a Talisman Master, and a Puppet Master. He’s reached the middle tier of the third rank in three different techniques!

With the cultivation of the Core Formation stage fourth level and being just over a hundred years old, reaching the middle tier of the third rank, his talent is undoubtedly at the level of monstrous prodigy!

He’s in no way inferior to me!

‘Did Fate send me this disciple? Does Fate want me to have a disciple to inherit my Dao before my life comes to an end?’ Taoist Tianyu’s face went through several changes.

Seeing this, True Monarch Gu Lan subtly narrowed her eyes but stood up, saying, “Oh well, since you’re not keen on taking in an apprentice, I’ll be on my way. After all, I still need to find him another master. I can’t afford to delay.”

Taoist Tianyu quickly reached out to stop her, “Wait a minute, wait a minute. What’s the rush? I’m still contemplating, aren’t I?”
