Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Chapter 730 - 354: Bold Master; The Tower Ship Sets Sail (Part 2)

It now has the strength of a Fake Pill level, and when the time comes, it can definitely protect this little girl.

...

The Luoxiao Grotto Heaven will open in a month.

But one cannot rush into it and wait only until a month later to go to the Luoxiao Grotto Heaven.

Moreover, it is located in Hunyuan City in the central Yan Kingdom, a long distance away, and an eight-day journey from the Lingyin Sect.

Therefore, the sect usually prepares in advance, allowing disciples to temporarily stay in Hunyuan City in preparation for the opening of the grotto heaven.

On the Reception Platform.

A giant spirit stone ship is already moored there.

Beneath the ship, nine young cultivators clad in the core disciple attire of the Lingyin Sect stand solemnly.

Each has a stable aura, with cultivation levels ranging from the early to middle stage of Foundation Establishment, all of them geniuses of the sect, qualified to compete for the next generation of True Inheritors.

And the performance in this journey to the Luoxiao Grotto Heaven will greatly influence the selection of the next generation of True Inheritors.

When Chen Ye arrived at the Reception Platform.

The nine disciples simultaneously looked up, uniformly bowing in salute:

"Disciple greets Guardian Chen!"

No matter what they truly thought, at least they outwardly maintained a respectful attitude towards Chen Ye.

Chen Ye’s gaze swept over the young faces, nodding slightly:

"Rise."

This Luoxiao Grotto Heaven expedition is of great importance to the Lingyin Sect.

Besides the three disciples of Chen Ye’s lineage, the sect additionally selected nine core disciples, making a total of twelve, all heading to the grotto heaven to vie for opportunities.

And Chen Ye is the leading guardian of this Lingyin Sect team.

In fact, as early as four months ago, when Qing Jun had just begun closed-door meditation and slumber, Chen Ye had already been making preparations for this.

Luckily.

He had won a great victory in a magical battle against Zhao Shan, enhancing his reputation.

And after the magical battle, his cultivation broke through to the Sixth-Layer of Foundation Establishment.

With both achievements and cultivation, getting the qualification for the leadership was simply a breeze.

"Instructor Chen, these disciples, will be in your care."

In addition to the nine disciples, the Fourth Elder was also present on the Reception Platform.

She nodded at Chen Ye with a smile.

Beside the Fourth Elder, a delicate and pretty girl shot him a cold smile.

This guy...

Seeing Zhang Chuxi, Chen Ye felt nervous, fearing she would complain to the Fourth Elder.

Thinking so,

he looked at the Fourth Elder, feeling an inexplicable sense of unease.

He composed himself, cupping his hands towards the Fourth Elder:

"Rest assured, Elder. Since I have taken on this duty as a guardian, I will surely do my utmost to ensure the safety of the disciples."

The Fourth Elder smiled:

"I see that you have achieved Great Success in the Life and Death Profound Light, which is commendable. Although this is an ancient cultivation technique, there were great powerhouses in the Songyang Sect who practiced it and achieved the Golden Core. Do not underestimate yourself, cultivate well in the future."

"I will remember the Elder’s teachings."

"Alright, time is not early, set off now."

The Fourth Elder nodded in satisfaction, feeling that this person was not a fish in a pond, later leaping over the dragon gate, becoming a significant figure in the Lingyin Sect.

Subsequently, she secretly transmitted her voice:

"If any unforeseen events occur during this trip, you can also send a message to me."

Chen Ye’s eyes flickered slightly, feeling a delicate jade talisman in his sleeve.

He kept it in his palm without showing any signs of surprise as he sensed its presence.

It was a Third Tier jade talisman!

With this jade talisman, even if trapped within a barrier, he could still send a message back to the sect, seeking assistance.

But why was this jade talisman given to him?

Is this journey more dangerous than he thought?

Chen Ye became somewhat worried.

The Fourth Elder seemed to read Chen Ye’s thoughts, transmitting her voice again:

"Do not be impatient, this is a usual practice of the sect. You twelve are all pillars of our sect and cannot be lost."

"Thank you, Elder."

Chen Ye secured the jade talisman, feeling somewhat reassured.

In any case, it was also a life-saving trump card.

"Instructor Chen."

Behind the Fourth Elder, the individual who had been smiling insincerely finally spoke.

He saw the young girl with a delicate ribbon around her waist, a graceful figure, walking gracefully towards him.

Her face bore a proper and clever smile, with hands folded in front of her abdomen, bowing gracefully to Chen Ye.

The Fourth Elder looked on with eyes full of affection.

No wonder she was her daughter!

With extraordinary talent and a Golden Core Mother like her, yet humble and gracious, dignified and polite.

"The journey to Hunyuan City is long, and we must trouble Instructor Chen to take care of these young geniuses of our sect."

Zhang Chuxi’s voice was soft and gentle, her eyes glistening, appearing to hold great respect for Chen Ye as an elder.

However.

Chen Ye looked at this young lady whose smile was as charming as a blooming flower, but his eyelid twitched slightly.

If it were someone else, they would definitely be deceived by this facade.

But he had experienced this girl’s methods.

"Nephew Zhang is too kind, it’s just my duty."

Chen Ye maintained the demeanor of a senior and smiled faintly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chuxi’s smile deepened a bit more.

She took a subtle half-step forward to close the distance with Chen Ye, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Chen Ye with her innocent starry eyes, her cherry lips slightly parted:

"Instructor’s skills, Chuxi naturally trusts. After all...last time in Baopu Hall, Chuxi put in such effort, but Instructor’s expression didn’t change. That terrifying composure is something Chuxi still remembers vividly; my palms are still hot."

This guy!

Sweat was about to drip from Chen Ye’s forehead.

In his mind, the scene from that day instantly emerged.

Behind the podium, a certain instructor appeared upright and focused, frowning while studying the Dao Scripture and preparing his lesson.

But no one knew, under the podium, crouched the most obedient and dignified disciple of Baopu Hall...

Chen Ye’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, he cleared his throat:

"Ahem, bygones should be bygones. Nephew Zhang should focus more on cultivation."

Seeing Chen Ye backing down.

Victory flashed through Zhang Chuxi’s eyes with a hint of pride, she bowed to Chen Ye once more and said brightly:

"Instructor’s lesson is right, Chuxi will remember. I wish Instructor a safe journey."

"This girl..."

The Fourth Elder, not understanding, smiled at Chen Ye and said,

"This child always admires capable people, it seems Instructor Chen carries significant weight in her heart."

Chen Ye’s mouth twitched, he could only forcefully acknowledge: "...Yes, Nephew Zhang greatly respects her teacher."

...

After bidding farewell to everyone in the sect.

Chen Ye turned around, waved his large sleeve, and shouted to the disciples behind him, who were already prepared:

"Board the ship!"

"Yes!"

The nine core disciples responded in unison and ascended one by one.

Qing Jun cheerfully pulled Jin’er along to follow the elder brothers and sisters onto the ship.

As for Zhiwei...

Chen Ye looked back and saw a girl with black hair slightly turning her head, her gaze glanced at Zhang Chuxi on the Reception Platform.

"Zhiwei?"

Chen Ye called out.

"Ah, Master..."

Zhiwei instantly came to her senses, stepped forward, gently supported Chen Ye’s arm, and said softly,

"The wind is strong, Master, be careful underfoot."

"You girl, your Master is not an old man..."

Chen Ye covered his forehead.

He was, after all, a Sixth-Layer cultivator in Foundation Establishment! How come in the eyes of his eldest disciple, he seemed like an incapable old man...

Zhiwei pouted, rarely acting coquettish: "Disciple just wants to support Master..."

"Alright, alright, I will comply with you. But later, you must be mindful, this journey is not just about you and me as master and disciple, we also have brothers and sisters from the sect."

Chen Ye advised.

Privately, he allowed his disciple to behave as she wished, but if outsiders saw a disciple serving him like this, who knows what they might think!

"Disciple understands."

Zhiwei smiled helplessly, she wasn’t someone who didn’t know her limits.

The one who didn’t know their limits,

Was clearly Master...

Earlier, Zhang Chuxi took advantage of the courtesy to get close to Master, she saw it all.

Zhiwei understood her Master well.

As long as her Master had the slightest emotional disturbance, she could discern what her Master was thinking.

Just now.

Wasn’t her Master reminiscing?

No, definitely reminiscing.

What exactly was he reminiscing about?

It’s really hard to guess...

Could it be reminiscing about Zhang Chuxi?

Zhiwei thought her Master was bold, daring to flirt secretly with the Fourth Elder’s closest daughter.

Such a daring Master would eventually learn a lesson. She was certain of it.

Once everyone had boarded the ship.

"Woo——"

The massive ship’s array activated, emitting a low horn sound.

Then, spiritual light flourished around the ship, transforming into a giant cloud-breaking beast, shattering through the clouds, carrying the future hope of Lingyin Sect, speeding toward the stormy Hunyuan City!
