Chapter 17 The Ceremony of Apprenticeship

Chang Suining knew he had lost, but he did not want to honor the bet.

"Of course I remember, but you cheated! If Thunder Lord hadn't protected you, you might not even be able to survive the thunder tribulation!"

Karen Ji glanced at Chang Suining's frustrated look and suddenly smiled.

"Cheating? When you went through the calamity, Senior Sister Chang was by your side. Doesn't this count as cheating? When you were practicing, you took a lot of elixirs and herbs, so how can you be fair?"

"If you are willing to gamble, you must admit defeat, otherwise, your credibility will be wiped out!"

Chang Suining couldn't stand other people's pointing fingers, and Karen Ji was so irritated to her, her mind became hot, and she announced directly in front of everyone.

"I lost today! I am willing to admit defeat!"

"I, I volunteer to stay in Shangyuan Hall and be... an outer disciple for ten years!"

After Chang Suining left, Ji Karen stepped down from the training platform leisurely.

She didn't have to go through the calamity, which could be regarded as indirectly confirming Lei Gong's identity.

The cultivation detection is still going on.

After more than 400 people have completed their detection, the next question is where the disciples will go.

According to the rules of Guiyuan Sect, disciples with good qualifications must be selected first by the elder with the highest cultivation level.

The elder with the highest cultivation level in the Guiyuan Sect is Elder Bai Yuan. His cultivation level may have reached the Dongxu realm now, but he has been practicing in seclusion, rarely appearing, and never accepting disciples.

The person ranked second in cultivation is Ye Yongfeng.

"Elder Ye, do you like any of these disciples?"

Ye Yongfeng, a late-stage cultivator in the Dividing God Realm, has only seven disciples. He does not attend every apprenticeship ceremony, and even if he does, he will not accept more than one disciple.

But this time, he made an exception.

"Shen Yu!"

"Zhou He!"

"Ji You!"

Among the three of them, two have Heavenly Spiritual Roots and one has Mutant Spiritual Roots, so they can be considered the best among the new disciples.

Karen Ji's favorite candidate is actually Elder Ding Hua, but since Elder Ye chose her first, she has no reason to openly refuse.

"Disciple Shen Yu, disciple Zhou He, disciple Ji You... have met the master!"

The three of them knelt down and paid homage to Ye Yongfeng on the stage.

"Get up."

After the three stood up, they stood directly behind Elder Ye. The other disciples were envious when they saw this.

In terms of cultivation level, after Elder Ye, there is Elder Chengyi who is in charge of Lingcao Mountain. He only accepted Mu Yang as his disciple.

By analogy, only six out of twenty people were lucky enough to become disciples of the inner sect, while the rest all stayed in the outer sect.

-

After the ceremony, Karen Ji and the others followed Ye Yongfeng directly back to Jade Crane Peak.

Yuhe Peak is on the west side of Longwei Peak. There is only one palace on the peak - Taicheng Hall.

The luxury of Taicheng Palace is no less than that of Shangqing Palace, and in the huge palace, there are only a few masters and disciples of Ye Yongfeng and a dozen servant disciples.

"Li Yuan, your senior brother; Qin Feng, your fourth senior brother."

There are seven senior brothers, five of whom are in retreat.

After Ye Yongfeng's introduction, Karen Ji, Shen Yu and Zhou Hechao came to greet them in turn.

"I've met senior brother, I've met fourth senior brother."

Li Yuan looked back at his master.

"Master, my vision is pretty good, right?"

Ye Yongfeng had a smile on his face, and he really liked the new apprentices in front of him.

"You three were recommended to me by your senior brother. He has always been very accurate in his judgment of people. As for my criteria for accepting disciples, good looks and quality are only one of them. Good moral character is the most important."

"So, before you practice cultivation, you must first learn how to be a human being. If you can't even be a human being, how can you talk about becoming an immortal?"

Karen Ji and others were trained.

"Thank you, Master, for your teaching."

Li Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked his master.

"Master, how do they rank among them?"

"Shen Yu is eighth, Zhou He is ninth, and Ji You is the youngest."

Ye Yongfeng did not hesitate. Ji You was the first female disciple he accepted. If she was made the youngest, her senior brothers would naturally take more care of her.

"Okay, let your two senior brothers take you to the Spirit Weapon Pavilion to pick out a useful spiritual weapon."

"Thank you, Master!"

-

There are many categories in the Spiritual Weapon Pavilion.

Zhou He and Shen Yu each picked a sword, one named Songyou and the other named Yuzhan. They were mid-level and fairly powerful.

Karen Ji picked around and didn't like anything, so she randomly chose a Qiankun bag.

After that, Li Yuan took them to Sikong Pavilion and distributed fifty high-level spiritual grasses and fifty high-level spiritual stones to each of them. He then helped them measure the size and asked the handyman disciples to deliver them. Went to Fengyuan Hall.

"There are two vacant rooms in the Warm Wind Pavilion in the back hall, Xiaoba and Xiaojiu. That will be your residence from now on."

"There are also several vacant rooms in the Nuanyun Pavilion in the side hall. Xiao Shi can choose any one to stay in."

Being a direct disciple of the elders has just this benefit: you can have enough food, live well, and your salary is much higher than that of ordinary inner disciples.

Karen Ji just settled down in Taicheng Hall.

During the day, Elder Ye would teach them and answer their questions. When Elder Ye was away, the senior brothers would do the work for them.

And her comprehension ability is as good as ever. Elder Ye taught her the Flame Palm, and with a little guidance, she can understand it and use it smoothly.

The Talisman Technique and Teleportation Technique that she chose also went hand in hand.

Even Shen Yu and Zhou He, who were extremely good-looking, couldn't help but look at her differently.

"Xiao Shi, are you... really some kind of god descending to earth?"

In the past three months, Karen Ji, Shen Yu, and Zhou He, although they were in Shangyuan Hall together, had never said a word to each other. After coming to Taicheng Hall, they studied and practiced together every day, and naturally they became familiar with each other.

Compared to Shen Yu, who was cold and taciturn, Zhou He was much more lively than him, and would occasionally joke with her.

"When I go through the calamity, can you say hello to Thunder Lord and ask him to spare my life?"

"You can say hello, but I can't guarantee whether he will listen to me."

Karen Ji agreed in a joking tone.

Others said that she had a close relationship with Mr. Lei. If she didn't agree, it would appear that they were at odds with each other.

"I should have experienced the disaster before me. How about you..."

"Need not!"

Zhou He also had good intentions, but Shen Yu refused directly.

"I can do it myself!"

"Come on, pretend I didn't say anything!"

-

A month later, Shen Yu's thunder disaster came.

Karen Ji didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when she thought that she hadn't done any system tasks for a long time, she decided to be a good junior sister again.

The Thunder Tribulation at the Foundation Establishment Realm is actually not very powerful. If an elder with high cultivation level helps, he may not even be hurt.

When Karen Ji rushed to the back mountain, Li Yuan and Qin Feng had already built a formation for Shen Yu.

She hurried closer and joined them.

The thunder struck for half an hour and then gradually dispersed.

Shen Yu only suffered some minor injuries.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, and Junior Brother...Junior Sister."

Zhou He replied with a playful smile.

"Isn't it true? We are brothers. Helping each other and staying together is the purpose of our Taicheng Palace."
