“Okay. Don’t bother with this false courtesy. Why did you come to see me?”
Han Shu hurriedly got up. “Grandmaster, this disciple really has something important to see you. I went out to meet a cultivator today. This cultivator has a great relationship with me. His purpose this time is to become a disciple under you. He asked me to bring you an apprenticeship gift. He also said…”
Yu Xiao was surprised. His grand disciple was actually begging. He said with a smile, “Will you help someone who wants to be our uncle? Do you want to have one more elder?”
Han Shu was torn, but she told the truth because she didn’t want to receive her grandmaster. “Grandmaster, didn’t I say that someone in the secret realm came to my rescue so that I could escape safely and survive until the secret realm was closed? The person who came this time is one of those two people.”
“He said that Grandmaster must see it. After seeing the apprenticeship gift, if you aren’t satisfied, then he will have no choice but to leave. By the way, there are also some pills he personally refined. He also wants Grandmaster to take a look.”
Yu Xiao secretly thought that this cultivator who wanted to become his disciple was very courageous. But considering that he had rescued his grand disciple, it was no wonder that Han Shu made this trip. She still had to give him this face.
He reached out his hand. “Let me take a look first to see why this kid has so much confidence.”
It was fine as long as he was willing to take a look. Han Shu sighed with relief and quickly presented the box and jade bottle to Yu Xiao.
Of course, Yu Xiao first looked at the so-called apprenticeship gift. He found that the sealing formation on the box wasn’t simple. Of course, it wasn’t a problem to break it with his current cultivation.
With a few bursts of energy, the box in front of him opened. The well-preserved spiritual plant came into view. Both of them looked shocked.
Han Shu exclaimed, “Soul-condensing grass?”
Yu Xiao hadn’t expected there to be a soul-condensing grass lying in front of him. He waved his hand, closed the box again, and sealed it.
“Yes, it is a sixth-grade soul-condensing grass. It is quite a generous gesture.”
It really touched his heart. At this point, there weren’t many things that could make his heart beat, but the soul-condensing grass was one of them.
Han Shu added, “Grandmaster, didn’t I say that the Wen and Wu brothers gained a sixth-grade spiritual plant at the last moment in the spiritual plant garden? It should be this one. No wonder why I felt that my soul power was consumed at that time. It was restored, but the time was too short for me to identify it.”
“Grandmaster, do you want to accept it?”
Han Shu hoped that her grandmaster would accept it. She knew how hard-won this grass was. If he missed it, she didn’t know when he would find the next one.
To be honest, it was difficult for Yu Xiao to refuse. However, he was a principled person. He took his eyes away from the box with difficulty and said, “Let me take a look at the pill he refined. If his talent isn’t good, it is difficult for him to knock on my door.”
Han Shu knew her grandmaster. However, she felt that since Feng Ming was confident, he should be good at alchemy.
What Yu Xiao thought in his heart was that as long as Feng Ming’s talent in alchemy wasn’t bad, he would reluctantly accept Feng Ming as long as it was average. After all, the soul-condensing grass really touched his heart.
This person saved his grand disciple in the secret realm. This passed the test of character, and there was no need to think about this factor.
The moment he opened the jade bottle and the fragrance of the pills wafted out, both Yu Xiao and Han Shu were stunned.
Then Yu Xiao quickly poured out a few pills from the jade bottle and held them in his hand. Han Shu exclaimed, “Grandmaster, this is a top-grade pulse opening pill. These are all top-grade pills!”
Yu Xiao had good eyesight. He could see at a glance that the medicinal power of this pulse opening pill was quite pure. The vital energy contained in it was also relatively rich. It was a well-deserved top-grade pill, which was really a surprise.
He quickly checked the status of the pills in several other jade bottles. He found that they were all top-grade pills. He couldn’t find any medium-grade ones.
Was it because the middle-grade pills were withheld and he saved up enough top-grade pills or was it that the proportion of top-grade pills that appeared during his refining process was already high?
Han Shu was so shocked that she couldn’t speak. She knew that there would be no accidents in this matter. She was about to have a junior uncle. This junior uncle was even younger than herself. This seniority made her speechless.
Yu Xiao showed joy. “This kid is really good at refining medicine. Girl, go and tell him that I, Yu Xiao, will accept this disciple. After I go to the dean to get his admission quota, I can arrange for him to be admitted and become my disciple.”
“Okay, Grandmaster. Congratulations to you for accepting another disciple.”
“Haha.” Yu Xiao was in a good mood. “Girl, you have a lot of junior uncles. You have to work harder in the future, so as to not be defeated by your junior uncle.”
Han Shu didn’t know what to say. Was it okay to be teased like this by her grandmaster?
“Grandmaster, there is another situation. Junior Uncle didn’t come alone. He also has a husband who wants to enter our academy together.”
Han Shu gave a reminder because she knew that with her grandmaster’s temperament, he wouldn’t be too interested in understanding the current excitement outside.
Yu Xiao was surprised. “At a young age, he found himself a husband? What is the identity of this husband?”
Before the apprenticeship ceremony was held and the name officially determined, her grandmaster was already caring about the other half of his little disciple? This was the thought that came to Han Shu’s mind.
Han Shu truthfully explained the situation in the secret realm and what happened after it was closed, as well as the identity of Feng Ming’s husband. No, it should be his former identity as the proud son of the Kunyuan Sect.
But this was already a thing of the past. Now he was the formation genius being rumored about outside.
Yu Xiao was surprised again. His young disciple actually found such a famous figure as his husband. He was very moved when he heard Bai Qiaomo’s experience.
Most importantly, the once destroyed dantian was actually repaired. How many adventures would be required to repair it, or did this kid know another method?
However, in general, it was good to fix it. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a hindrance if his little disciple had a husband who couldn’t cultivate? It would be better for the two of them to move side by side.
“If he has such an identity, there will be no problem with him being admitted. I believe that the dean will be eager to snatch him after knowing his identity. Don’t worry, go ahead and tell them. I will go to the dean right now.”
Yu Xiao couldn’t wait. Before Han Shu could leave, he hurriedly left the cave and went to the dean to ask for a special quota.
There was a young disciple he had taken a fancy to and a formation genius who had stirred up the surrounding area. It was estimated that he might be fourth-grade. There was no reason why the dean wouldn’t approve this quota.
Yu Xiao was more focused on alchemy, so he paid less attention to the outside world.
Meanwhile, the dean was different. He had ears in all directions. How could he miss the large noise caused by the Wen and Wu brothers in the secret realm?
In particular, he secretly paid attention to the formation genius called Wu Hai.
He thought that once he found this person, he would bring Wu Hai to Sihong Academy for protection as much as possible to prevent such a genius from being destroyed. It was just like how Sihong Academy protected Yu Xiao.
However, all parties searched to no avail. The dean had no choice but to give up. The most recent concern was about Jiang Qian. He was planning to go find Jiang Qian and discuss accepting the academy’s employment.
At this time, Yu Xiao came. Seeing Yu Xiao, the dean thought of the formation genius he had been thinking about.
Yu Xiao got straight to the point. “Dean, I need two specially approved admission places. One is for the young disciple I will accept. The other is for the young disciple’s husband. By the way, they are the Wen and Wu brothers who made a disturbance in the Xuanyue secret realm not long ago. These names are pseudonyms.”
“What? The Wen Wu brothers are here? Where are they? Show me.”
The dean laughed loudly. He had been worried about not being able to find the whereabouts of the formation genius and that something would happen. He didn’t expect the person to come to his door. There was such a great thing in the world. The dean was very happy.
“Dean, don’t worry. Approve the quota first. Then I will bring them in.”
The dean glared at Yu Xiao. “How come you don’t know how to do things? This type of formation genius can just be brought in directly. Okay, it is just two places. It doesn’t matter if I give you a few more. I will approve it for you now. Quickly bring the people in, or I will go with you.”
Yu Xiao knew that the dean wouldn’t let go of such a talent. He said with a smile, “Don’t worry, he is my little disciple’s husband. The person can’t run away.”
He also reminded, “Dean, you should know that this person is the genius Bai Qiaomo, who was deposed by the Kunyuan Sect not long ago.”
“Wu Ha is Bai Qiaomo?” The dean was shocked when he heard this.
“Yes, it is the news brought by my grand disciple, Han Shu. Han Shu was saved by them in the secret realm. It is absolutely true.”
The dean became even more excited. “Then we have to bring him into our academy. The Kunyuan Sect is too unreasonable.”
Yu Xiao reminded him, “Don’t forget who was behind the destruction of this proud man, Bai Qiaomo. This person is still in our academy.”
The dean secretly screamed that it wasn’t good. Of course, he had heard about it because he also paid attention to Bai Qiaomo. He felt sorry for Bai Qiaomo after he was abolished.
After checking, he found that it was indeed related to Wu Yingyan from this academy. However, due to the relationships behind Wu Yingyan and the lack of clear evidence, he couldn’t take any evidence to drive the person out.
Sihong Academy recruited many civilian students every year and faced considerable pressure.
Bringing in the children of aristocratic families and powerful people not only relieved financial pressure but also reduced the pressure on them from the Royal Cultivation Academy.
The academy had received a lot of benefits from the Wu family when Wu Yingyan entered. Therefore, the dean couldn’t punish him as long as he didn’t violate the academy’s regulations.
It was a bit troublesome now. Compared to Wu Yingyan, the former genius Bai Qiaomo, who currently was a formation genius, was more important.
The foundation for the academy to survive and develop was the strong cultivators it had continuously cultivated. After they left the academy, they would use their strength and influence to give back to the academy.
Therefore, one Bai Qiaomo could stand up to ten Wu Yingyans.
How could Wu Yingyan affect Bai Qiaomo’s admission to the academy?
The dean thought for a while before saying, “Then you should quickly take your young disciple in first. Isn’t it said that he is your young disciple’s husband? With your disciple here, it is impossible for Bai Qiaomo to go elsewhere. Let’s settle the person down first.”
Yu Xiao secretly thought that the dean was cunning. The dean actually planned to target his young disciple.
Well, he actually also knew that his young disciple wanted to enter the academy in order for the academy to protect them. After all, their net worth was indeed quite eye-catching.
