Gu Shengyin never expected to hear such words from her young disciple’s mouth.
She paused for a mont, looking at Gu Yansui’s lowered head, as if he was always prepared to accept her punishnt, she finally sighed.
With a child like this, it’s really impossible to harden one’s heart against him.
"Yansui, rest assured, master will not take any other disciples. You are the most special."
Accepting this disciple was a result of various influences. Teaching one disciple was already enough to consu her energy, Gu Shengyin admitted she didn’t have the ti to raise more children.
Hearing her words, a happy smile appeared on Gu Yansui’s small face.
"Alright, don’t be too happy just yet, let’s find a place to settle down first." Gu Shengyin interrupted his silly joy.
The two rented a courtyard in East Cloud City.
In addition, Gu Shengyin also had Gu Yansui buy three slaves from the market, two big strong n, and a healthy middle-aged woman, specifically responsible for his daily needs.
These three were bought with a death contract, aning their lives and deaths were entirely under Gu Yansui’s control.
However, Gu Shengyin was not reassured by such a death contract.
It’s rely a paper constraint. What if those people had any ill intentions? Though she was confident they couldn’t harm them, it’s better to be safe than sorry, isn’t it?
Therefore, on the first day of bringing them back, Gu Shengyin disguised herself as a mysterious powerful guard of the young master and gave the three a severe warning.
Not only that, she forced them to make a master-servant oath, so if any of them harbored rebellious thoughts in the future, the contract would take effect imdiately, leaving them dead with no place to be buried.
When it cos to managing subordinates, it’s always a stick first, then a sweet date. Gu Shengyin understood this well.
After they made their vows, she rewarded them with three Low-Rank Cultivation Techniques.
These were simple Body Tempering Techniques. Even those without cultivation talent could use them to strengthen the body, but few could advance further using it.
This cultivation technique was almost a textbook existence in the Ancient Era, available for everyone to learn.
But today, it is considered a lost ancient item.
In the current True Cultivation World, any technique, even a Low-Level, unranked one, is treated like a treasure, not to ntion this?
The three treated it as if they had received a precious treasure, kowtowing to Gu Yansui, showing no hint of resentnt for being forced to make the vow.
Gu Shengyin was generous, and the courtyard she bought was large.
Gu Yansui stayed in the innermost inner courtyard, the cook lived in the East Wing, while the two strong n stayed in the outer courtyard.
Gu Yansui had already made it clear that they were not allowed into the inner courtyard on regular days. The cook was to prepare als daily and bring them in, and as for the two guards, they just needed to watch the gate when there was nothing to do.
It really was quite relaxing.
The three were anxious when they were bought, not expecting the new owner to be so easy-going. For a mont, they were deeply grateful to Gu Yansui. Unwaveringly loyal.
And within the inner courtyard, Gu Shengyin began the journey of altering Gu Yansui’s Root Bone.
In the True Cultivation World, the ti before a child turns ten is the best period for laying the foundation.
Children from the great sects, with good conditions, might even have powerful cultivators infusing Innate True Qi daily into the womb to accumulate Root Bone for the unborn child.
After birth, they’re supplented with Miraculous Elixirs and dicines internally, and dicinal baths externally to temper the body, establishing a solid foundation.
Gu Yansui started with a disadvantage compared to others by more than a notch.
But it didn’t matter because he had a master who was the only one in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage in the entire True Cultivation World.
Gu Shengyin was certain that in the original plot, Shi Lingshi would never be this attentive to Qiao Qiao as she was to Gu Yansui.
Her disciple, Gu Shengyin’s, of course, wouldn’t be inferior to anyone!
...
So, this is a world where master’s prowess matters. A long-awaited early morning update, though it’s just two short Chapters... but Gao Lengzhi will continue diligently writing, striving to work hard for early morning updates as a diligent branch.
