"Luo Xianxiu, would you like to become my disciple?"

"Yes! I would, Miss Immor-Vheena!"

While following the Miss immortal on trivial shopping errands, as Marquis Feng Tuo mentioned it was her disguise, Luo Xianxiu suddenly heard the miss ask her to become a disciple. Hearing this, she immediately agreed.

Originally, Luo Xianxiu had secretly followed the Marquis because her father, who was sick, wanted to marry her off. She never imagined that this boring journey would lead to her being accepted as a disciple by an immortal.

Even after parting ways with the Marquis and her troublesome servants, who would return to the kingdom leaving her and her master behind, Luo Xianxiu still couldn’t believe what had happened. She even asked her master why she had been chosen. Her master replied that it was because she possessed extraordinary talent (money).

When they reached her master's mysterious house, which astonished her upon sight, her master told her to rest for the night as it was already late. Forced to sleep in the room her master provided, she struggled due to her excitement. All she could think about was the amazing life she would live as an immortal's disciple.

Awakening in the morning after a sleep she barely noticed, Luo Xianxiu left her room upon hearing the sound of dishes. Seeing her master preparing food, she wanted to help, but her master refused and told her to sit.

Seeing the simple home-cooked meal that didn’t look particularly special, Luo Xianxiu remembered that her master was an immortal, so surely the food her master made would be highly beneficial. Taking a bite with her chopsticks, she was shocked by the effects of the meal.

The food had an effect similar to the fruit she had bought from her master, but much stronger. Her entire body and qi were strengthened and restored, and she felt the energy from her master's hands infusing the food, clearing her mind of negative thoughts, purifying her soul from impurities, and even sharpening her thinking.

Because of these miraculous effects, she devoured the food enthusiastically, unaware of her master’s strange gaze. After breakfast, her master led her to the backyard. Once there, her master asked her to display her strength.

“Ahem, Xianxiu, since you’re a new disciple, I want to see what power you possess so I can create a suitable technique for you. Show me any technique you have.”

“Yes, Master.”

‘Since I’m a new disciple, surely Master wants to see my cultivation technique. I’ll show the family cultivation technique, which I’m proud to say is one of the best on the Fellow Sun continent. Master will definitely praise it.’

Sitting in meditation as her family’s cultivation technique instructed, Luo Xianxiu was unaware of her master's surprised expression at her choice. After a while, Luo Xianxiu opened her eyes, seeking her master's guidance.

“Xianxiu, where did you learn this cultivation technique?”

“This cultivation technique was passed down from my family's ancestors, who created it for their descendants. Is there a problem with it, Master?”

‘Could it be that my family’s ancestral cultivation technique is flawed? Did it surprise Master to the point of asking such a question?’ Luo Xianxiu thought anxiously, seeing her master question the technique.

“Hmm… yes, this technique has a lot of deficiencies. I’m sure those in your family who practiced it faced limitations when they reached a higher level of cultivation, correct?”

“M-master is correct. The Xianxiu family’s cultivation technique only allows practitioners to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. According to the family, breaking through to the Body Integration stage is impossible. Only the family's ancestor managed it, and even then, only after consuming many treasures. The family believes the cause is the lack of natural qi in the Fellow Sun continent. Do you, Master, know how to improve the technique?”

After responding, Luo Xianxiu hoped that her master would be willing to improve her family’s technique, but sadly, her master had something else to say.

“Xianxiu, you should give up on that technique. I’m hesitant to say this, as it may hurt your feelings. Are you sure you want to hear it?”

‘I never expected Master to tell me to abandon my family’s cultivation technique. Since that’s the case, I’ll hear all the weaknesses in this technique.’

“It’s okay, Master. I can accept whatever you say.”

After saying that, Luo Xianxiu watched as her master nodded and then explained all the shortcomings of her family's technique. She was shocked by everything she heard.

‘The technique created by my great-grandfather is trash? Is Master’s statement true? As I recall, my father once said that the three major sects recognized our royal family’s cultivation technique as one of the strongest on the Fellow Sun continent. Could the cultivators from the three sects have lied? No, they didn’t lie. It’s because their cultivation level was low compared to Master’s, so they assumed our technique was one of the best. The problem is that Master is an immortal, far stronger and more knowledgeable. I hope the bad effects of this technique haven’t impacted my body too much, making it harder for Master to teach me.’

Reflecting on her master's words about the harmful effects of her family’s technique, Luo Xianxiu felt only sadness. She didn’t want her future cultivation to be hindered because of this technique. Not wanting to be mediocre, Luo Xianxiu bowed her head to her master, asking for help.

“You’re right about the bad effects of my family’s technique, Master. Will that cause any issues for you in teaching me? Do you think the technique can’t be fixed? If it can’t, will you give me a new cultivation technique?”

“…Rest assured, the negative effects of that technique won’t affect your training under me. As for your family’s technique, even if I could fix it, it would only double the cultivation level of those practicing it. But it would still require a place rich in natural qi and many treasures for study. Since you’re my disciple, of course, I won’t let you continue with a flawed technique. I’ll give you a new cultivation technique that will help you become an immortal easily.”

‘…Truly, I’ve found a great master. Not only will Master fix my family’s technique, but she’s also giving me a cultivation technique that can turn me into an immortal. Such techniques are usually divine-level treasures, but Master is giving it to me so easily, even though I’ve just become her disciple. Master’s kindness makes me want to cry.’

Her master’s words deeply touched Luo Xianxiu. Holding back her tears, she raised her head to thank her master sincerely and then took out her family’s secret cultivation technique book to offer to her.

“T-thank you, Master. I thought you would only fix my family’s technique. I didn’t expect you to give me a divine-level technique just for being your new disciple. I’m truly grateful, Master. Also, this is the secret cultivation technique of my family, Master.”
