Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

The transmission within the token was brief, devoid of any world-shaking secrets.

I should have expected as much.

A token so distinctive, it is unlikely to involve the secrets of the Emotion Crossing Sect.

However,

there is a title within it that Chen Ye could not ignore.

”Divine Child... her essence blood can actually be treated as a reward?”

He squinted slightly, pondering secretly.

Once upon a time.

He had learned various messages about the Emotion Crossing Sect from Xu Changfeng, including those about the Duqing Divine Son.

Legend has it,

the lifespan of the Duqing Divine Son is merely a century, but within that century, she must be able to form a core.

”Logically, the Duqing Divine Son should hold a high position within the sect, presumably just below the three Divine Venerables... Yet, her essence blood is distributed as a reward to cultivators. Quite peculiar.”

Chen Ye found it rather absurd.

Calling her a Divine Child, it’s more apt to say she’s a treasure medicine in human form.

Surely, the cultivators of the Emotion Crossing Sect wouldn’t dare treat the future Golden Core True Man as mere treasure medicine... Wouldn’t they fear her forming a core and coming back for revenge?”

”Forget it, the matter of the Duqing Divine Son is shrouded in mystery everywhere, such as the less than hundred years lifespan... The secrets here are beyond the reach of a mere instructor like me.”

Chen Ye shook his head and put the token away.

He planned to hand this token over to Bai Susu later, perhaps she could uncover something from it.

However,

Chen Ye could somewhat understand Bai Susu’s peculiar personality.

This girl is Bai Li’s only daughter, combined with her extraordinary talent, since birth, she has been the pride of the Lingyin Sect.

But fortune and misfortune are intertwined, accompanying this, is the hostility from rival sects.

To date, she has undergone countless assassination attempts...

”To wear a crown, one must bear its weight...”

Chen Ye sighed.

The seemingly glorious Spirit Hidden True Inheritance, each step they take is walking on the edge of a cliff.

He thought no more about it and carefully stored the token engraved with ”Emotion Crossing”, beginning to meditate and adjust his breath.

This time in combat.

Chen Ye only depleted his divine sense without suffering much injury.

This was because Li Min’s overwhelming sea of blood offensive was mostly endured by the loyal King Vine.

Now the emerald King Vine was drooping lifelessly on his arm.

”You’ve suffered.”

Chen Ye gently comforted the vine.

Fortunately, King Vine is a spirit plant, naturally with a weak sense of pain.

Coupled with its remarkable recovery capabilities, Chen Ye infused a few strands of vitality to nourish it, believing in just months of recuperation, it would be as good as new, and even through this trial, its resilience could further improve.

Besides,

Chen Ye also owns the Wood Element Tao Stele, which to spirit plants, is a supreme treasure, aiding King Vine’s rapid recovery.

...

On the next day.

Though a distinguished guest was present in the valley, Chen Ye did not forget his promise to the disciples.

Early in the morning, he led the three apprentices grandly to the back mountain.

The current back mountain had already become a forbidden place in Lisong Valley.

Chen Ye placed the Wood Element Tao Stele in the back mountain, prohibiting anyone from entering.

After all, once this treasure is exposed, it would bring Chen Ye endless trouble.

He didn’t arrange for any guards, but within the mountain, the Vine-Eater clan guarded fiercely, ensuring nothing would go wrong.

”Master...”

Walking on the mountain path, Zhiwei couldn’t help but glance back, her fingers rubbing the gourd at her waist, seemingly casually asking,

”True Inheritor Bai... isn’t she joining us?”

Hearing this, Qing Jun, who had been hopping around, suddenly pricked up her ears, and even the usually timid Jin’er raised her head quietly, looking nervously at Chen Ye.

Bai Susu’s formidable aura was displayed there.

If this young lady joined them, their master-disciple outing would probably change considerably.

Chen Ye paused slightly.

Hm hm!

It was time for Chen Ye to perform.

As an expert in dealing with young girls, he knew well that disciples had a slight envy regarding Bai Susu’s presence, and now was a perfect opportunity to soothe their feelings!

Chen Ye smiled gently, the corner of his lips curling, saying warmly:

”Silly girl, what are you thinking?”

”Master promised to bring you here to play, it’s the time for us four, master-disciple, certainly excluding others.”

”In Master’s mind, what I promised you is the most important.”

The disciples were taken aback by their master’s sincerity.

Zhiwei’s cold little face was tinged with a hint of blush, hurriedly lowering her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito: ”Mas... Master’s matters are the most important...”

Qing Jun, on the other hand, excitedly waved her fist, cheering ”Master is the best.”

And Jin’er was also filled with gratitude.

In their master’s heart, disciples are unique!

Even for her, having become a disciple, she too holds a position in Master’s heart!

Watching the disciples’ joyous expressions, Chen Ye remained composed.

But inwardly, he chuckled:

”Heh, sweet words really are effective... Instantly all three little ones got flustered.”

In truth.

The real reason was Bai Susu requiring healing, and early this morning, there was no way she could leave.

But this did not hinder Chen from easily boosting the disciples’ favorability.

After all,

One can never have too much favorability.

Chen Ye, in the future, would still want to lean on the disciples, so without high favorability, how could they show filial piety to him?

...

Soon, the group arrived deep into the back mountain.

Here, it was a waterfall.

Chen Ye once practiced swordsmanship here, as well as disciplined Zhiwei with the Bone-Scraping Whip.

And now,

Under the waterfall, lay an ancient and weathered stone monument.

Around it, dense and nearly tangible spirit essence of plants swirled.

This spirit essence was washed by the waterfall, flowing into the river and subsequently into Lisong Valley.

Currently,

The output of Lisong Valley has greatly increased, even capable of cultivating Second-Tier Spirit Plants used for refining Divinity Refining Pills, largely because of the spirit essence brought by the Wood Element Tao Stele.
