Chapter 1440: Elder Tan
Tan Shaoting wished he could start cultivating immediately, but he calmed down.
He held his wife as they sat down to study the cultivation technique together.
Even though the two spent every day together, their thoughts could synchronize, but their understanding of the cultivation technique differed.
After discussing, Tan Shaoting listened to Su Yuanyuan’s understanding and felt enlightened.
"I plan to go into seclusion after the ceremony ends."
Su Yuanyuan thought for a moment, "That’s fine, you can go into seclusion in my space too."
Tan Shaoting shook his head with a smile; he didn’t want his wife to see him in a vulnerable state.
Opening up another dantian within oneself would undoubtedly be painful.
"I’ll just go into seclusion in the room."
Su Yuanyuan considered, "Alright, I’m advancing too; I’m afraid my spiritual power will be unstable."
Three days later, the family was still wearing the Xuantian Sect’s disciple robes as they appeared in the square.
They each stood in their respective groups.
Liu Yan Yue approached Su Yuanyuan, "I’ll go there after it’s over."
Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded. She still didn’t know about Liu Yan Yue and Sun Qi’s relationship.
The Sect Leader personally came over to commend all the cultivators going to battle and explain the rewards given to them.
There were extra rewards for the top three. First, the rewards for the Qi Refinement Realm.
Qi Wen was now at the Foundation Establishment Stage. The second and third place cultivators did not appear; they were both in Foundation Establishment.
At the Foundation Establishment Stage, there were only two storage bags, one each for first and third place. The sect smiled at the calm and composed Su Yuanyuan, feeling impressed.
"Due to Su Yuanyuan’s outstanding performance, I have decided to let her visit the Treasure Pavilion. Whatever she can take from there will be determined by her fortune."
All the cultivators knew about the Treasure Pavilion, an immortal artifact of the sect filled with good things—at its lowest tier were spiritual artifacts. However, not many could take items from it.
The artifact spirit of this immortal artifact was extremely stingy. One could enter, but not take anything out.
Su Yuanyuan smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Sect Master."
Yu Huping chuckled, "Whether you can take something out and what you take out depends on your fate.
Moreover, your performance in the ranking match was excellent.
In the future, if you have any questions about arrays, you can directly go to Array Peak and find True Monarch Fangcun."
"Thank you, Sect Master. Thank you, True Monarch Fangcun."
Next was the distribution of rewards for the Golden Core Stage, with Yu Huping specifically praising Tan Shaoting a few sentences as well.
Overall, most were quite impressed; a Golden Core Fourth Layer cultivator managed to defend the arena. Although later a Foundation Establishment cultivator took the spotlight, that was their capability.
The steward had already informed Su Yuanyuan that she could head to the Treasure Pavilion immediately.
Just as they were about to disband, suddenly an elderly man with an aura of the immortal appeared beside the Sect Master.
All disciples did not know this person, but the Sect Master paid great respect. "Disciple greets Elder."
In their hearts, all speculated about which elder this was. At their level, chances to meet elders were very few.
As the Sect Master called him Elder, all the disciples paid great respect.
"No need for formalities. Tan Qiweng, step forward."
Qi Wen hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward. "Disciple Tan Qiweng greets Elder."
"Mm, you’re quite good. I am willing to accept you as my disciple, what do you think?"
Qi Wen hesitated for a moment. She didn’t want to accept a master, knowing her age and physical disadvantage.
Yu Huping saw that this young woman hadn’t immediately accepted. He thought she might not know this Elder.
"Tan Qiweng, this is the Supreme Elder, Mahayana Cultivator Muti Celestial of our Xuantian Sect."
Qi Wen did not feel much about it, but the disciples below had their eyes turn red.
A Mahayana cultivator, the pinnacle of existence on this continent.
"Tan Qiweng, why do you hesitate?" Muti smiled and asked.
"I wasn’t hesitating; I was just thinking that with you being so excellent, I fear embarrassing you."
Su Yuanyuan now knew this person had no bad intentions. He truly considered Qi Wen outstanding and thought their master-disciple relationship was fated.
"Haha, you won’t embarrass me. You can do whatever you want outside; your master is behind you."
The disciples below understood this meant support from the Elder. This meant that she could do whatever she wanted moving forward.
Qi Wen pondered that such an identity provided protection, didn’t it?
She knelt down. "Disciple Tan Qiweng pays respect to Master."
Muti Celestial was already in front of Qi Wen, using spiritual power to help her up.
"Good disciple. From now on, you will be my only closed-door disciple."
What does this imply? It means that Qi Wen’s seniority in the Xuantian Sect is equal to Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch. Throughout the continent, her seniority is second because there is only one Mahayana cultivator.
Though the cultivation world respects strength, she doesn’t need to be strong because she has the strongest master. In this era, a master is like parents.
Su Yuanyuan felt genuinely happy; her daughter now had a powerful backing. Listening to the sincere heart of Muti Celestial, she realized he was a truly upright person. Her daughter’s cultivation path would be smoother.
She didn’t worry about any psychological obstacles for her daughter. This young woman’s heart was open.
Yu Huping smiled broadly, "Congratulations to the Grand Elder for accepting a brilliant disciple. Disciple greets Elder Tan."
The disciples below all addressed her as Elder Tan, except for her parents, who weren’t required to.
Qi Wen, thick-skinned, felt a bit embarrassed. "Sect Master, it makes me uncomfortable."
"Elder Tan, don’t worry; this is a joyous occasion for our Xuantian Sect, and the Elder is also our senior."
The disciples below all lowered their heads, thinking she might not be strong, but she has backing.
"Sect Master, announce across the entire continent that Tan Qiweng is my disciple."
"Yes. When shall we hold the grand ceremony for the elder accepting a disciple?"
"There’s no need for that. Let it be known that Tan Qiweng is the disciple of Muti."
"Yes, Grand Elder."
"My disciple, you go home with your parents today. Tomorrow a steward will pick you up."
"Thank you, Master."
In the blink of an eye, Muti Celestial vanished. But Tong Sect Master remained to announce the end of the ceremony.
As a family of three walked together, no cultivators were within a mile of them.
Qi Wen fervently complained to her mother. Su Yuanyuan’s face showed no emotion, but inside she was laughing.
The family didn’t head home but went directly to the Treasure Pavilion.
A steward was already waiting there. "Greetings, Elder Tan."
"No need for formalities." Qi Wen was out of patience, thinking—isn’t this big seniority also an advantage?
Tan Shaoting and Su Yuanyuan then paid respects to the Nascent Soul True Monarch.
"No need for formalities, both of you."
Su Yuanyuan handed over her identity token, and once verified, she could enter.
The father and daughter waited outside; they knew they couldn’t enter even if they wanted to.
Su Yuanyuan looked at the ordinary house of the courtyard, and after properly knocking three times, she pushed the door open.
