Gu Han looked at A'Yao who had suddenly burst in, then glanced at Liu Ruyan, who was full of shock.
For a moment, it was actually a bit awkward.
This form of address was indeed easy to misunderstand.
She cleared her throat, trying her best to maintain her composure as the Palace Master, and introduced her to Liu Ruyan:
"Her name is A Yao. She is the Eldest Disciple under my tutelage, and also your Eldest Senior Sister."
Then, she lowered her head and spoke gently to A Yao, who was looking over curiously with wide eyes:
"A Yao, this is Liu Ruyan. From now on, she will be your Second Junior Sister."
"Second Junior Sister?"
A Yao tilted her small head, seemingly finding this new title novel.
Holding the flowing light lotus platform, she took a few steps closer with her short legs and carefully observed Liu Ruyan.
Then she broke into a cloudless smile and shouted crisply:
"Junior Sister! Hello!"
Liu Ruyan was still immersed in the shock of the information "the Palace Master's daughter" and "Eldest Senior Sister."
At this moment, she was stunned again by this soft and waxy call of "Junior Sister."
Looking at this little girl before her, who was brimming with Spiritual Qi and had an exquisite appearance that didn't seem Mortal.
Thinking further about the Master's unfathomable cultivation and this Yaochi Immortal Palace that was like a fairyland... an incredible thought exploded in her heart.
This Eldest Senior Sister... is probably definitely not an ordinary person!
She might not even be of the Human Race!
Could she be the transformation of a legendary Immortal Treasure?
Or the descendant of an ancient Divine Beast?
To be able to become the Master's Eldest Disciple, she must be extraordinary!
She quickly collected her thoughts, suppressed the shock on her face, and respectfully bowed to A Yao:
"Ruyan greets Eldest Senior Sister."
A Yao seemed to find this very fun and giggled.
She wanted to imitate how Gu Han usually rubbed her head, standing on tiptoe to reach the top of Liu Ruyan's head.
Unfortunately, she couldn't reach!
She had to settle for patting her arm, trying hard to act like a little adult,
"Good Junior Sister~"
Gu Han watched this scene, a trace of a smile flashing in her eyes, then she looked at Liu Ruyan and said:
"Ruyan, since you have entered my Yaochi Immortal Palace, from now on, you are the Personal Second Disciple under my seat."
She paused, her gaze sweeping across the grand but empty palace, her voice calm but carrying an unquestionable authority.
"The Immortal Palace has just been established, and everything is waiting to be done."
"Although A Yao is your Senior Sister, she is still young and her mind has not yet matured. You need to take good care of her in the future."
"When other Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters enter the Sect in the future, you must lead by example, protect your fellow Disciples, and be a good role model as a Senior Sister."
Liu Ruyan's heart surged as she listened. The Master was treating her as the core of the Sect to be cultivated and entrusted!
A huge sense of responsibility and glory instantly overwhelmed all her previous emotions.
She bowed deeply once again, her voice trembling slightly with excitement, but exceptionally firm:
"Disciple Liu Ruyan obeys the Master's command!"
"I will certainly do my utmost to care for my fellow Disciples and never fail Master's high expectations!"
Gu Han nodded slightly and raised her hand to gesture for her to rise:
"Get up! Don't just kneel at every turn; having respect in your heart is enough."
Liu Ruyan stood up, the excitement in her heart still not subsiding.
She looked around and finally couldn't help but ask the question that was circling in her mind:
"Master, I wonder how many fellow Disciples are currently in the palace? And how many Elders are presiding over it?"
She thought that for a Sect with such an atmosphere, even if the members were few, they must be a collection of elites, and the Elders would likely each have heaven-reaching cultivation.
Hearing her question, Gu Han's expression turned slightly strange. She remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking:
"Currently, there are only the three of us: me, A Yao, and you."
"Ah?"
Liu Ruyan was completely stunned, almost thinking she had misheard.
Such an immortal's Immortal Cave, with such supreme atmosphere, actually... only had the three of them?
No other Disciples? No Elders?
No Deacons or Servants?
This was completely different from the massive, deep-rooted "Yaochi Immortal Palace" she had imagined!
But in the next moment, an even more burning, almost trembling ecstasy suddenly swept over her!
Three people! Only three people!
What did this mean?
It meant she was one of the only two Personal Disciples of the Palace Master!
She was one of the most original Foundations of this supreme Daoist Heritage destined for future glory!
Lin Fan's Mahayana Stage Master in his first life was merely an Outer Sect Elder.
And he hadn't even joined the Yaochi Immortal Palace yet.
But she was already the Palace Master's Personal Disciple!
Looking at the excitement and devotion almost overflowing from Liu Ruyan's eyes.
Gu Han thought to herself that this newly recruited Second Disciple had a good Heart-Nature; her obsession was deep, but she also knew how to be grateful.
She didn't dwell too much on the turmoil in Liu Ruyan's heart and, with a thought.
The "peerless immortal seed" gift pack in the System warehouse quietly opened.
["Ding! 'peerless immortal seed' gift pack (Liu Ruyan) opened successfully!"]
["Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Samsara Dao Scripture!"]
["Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one heaven and earth creation pill!"]
["Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 10,000 mastery value points!"]
["System Tip: Detected that Disciple Liu Ruyan has undergone three lives of Reincarnation, and her Soul deep down contains the imprint of the Reincarnation Law, allowing for the preliminary awakening of her Reincarnation Dao Body (Hidden)."]
Gu Han's gaze swept over these rewards, and she understood in her heart.
The Samsara Dao Scripture sounded extraordinary just by its name, and it perfectly matched Liu Ruyan's special experience of being a "suspected Rebirth-er."
The heaven and earth creation pill was a supreme treasure pill that seized the creation of heaven and earth to cleanse the marrow and forge the bones.
It had miraculous effects on improving Aptitude and solidifying the Foundation, perfectly solving Liu Ruyan's current Foundation issues.
As for that Reincarnation Dao Body... Gu Han's gaze toward Liu Ruyan carried a bit more depth.
No wonder the System rated it as "Hidden 10 Stars"; to be able to go through three lives of Reincarnation without being extinguished.
The seeds of the Reincarnation Law had already been imprinted in her Soul; this potential was indeed extraordinary.
"Ruyan."
Gu Han's cold voice brought Liu Ruyan back from her excited thoughts.
"Disciple is here!"
Liu Ruyan immediately collected her thoughts and responded respectfully.
"Since you have entered my tutelage, I will grant you an introductory gift."
As Gu Han spoke, she extended her palm, and Spiritual Light gathered above it, slowly revealing two items.
On the left was a dark grey Jade Slip, its surface flowing with a strange dao rhyme; it was precisely the Samsara Dao Scripture.
On the right was a small jade bottle, the body of which was warm and moist, and inside, a Dragon-eye-sized Medicinal Pill could be seen floating quietly.
The fragrance of the pill was restrained, but it caused the surrounding Spiritual Qi to spontaneously wrap around it; it was precisely the heaven and earth creation pill.
Liu Ruyan's gaze was instantly attracted, although she didn't know exactly what these two things were.
But the dao rhyme and pill fragrance that rushed toward her, far exceeding her level of cognition, made her realize that these were definitely supreme treasures!
"This is the Samsara Dao Scripture,"
Gu Han pointed to the Jade Slip, her voice calm but carrying a majesty that pointed directly to the Great Dao,
"It is a supreme method that aligns with your fate. I hope you will study it diligently and not fail me."
Samsara Dao Scripture!
Could it be related to her experience of Rebirth?
Liu Ruyan's heart pounded wildly, almost leaping out of her chest.
The Master had actually seen through her essence at a glance and even bestowed such a fitting Cultivation Technique!
This... this was simply tailor-made for her!
"This one is the heaven and earth creation pill,"
Gu Han then pointed to the jade bottle,
"It can cleanse your marrow and forge your bones, reshaping your Foundation and making up for the deficiencies in your past Cultivation. After taking it, refine it well."
Cleanse the marrow and forge the bones, reshaping the Foundation!
This was exactly what she needed most right now!
In her previous two lives, she was limited by her talent; no matter how she Cultivated, the highest she could reach was only the Nascent Soul Stage!
Now with this Medicinal Pill, she would surely be able to break this curse in this life!
Liu Ruyan looked at the Medicinal Pill in her hand, her heart full of excitement, and she wanted to kneel again.
"Disciple... thanks Master for the generous gift!"
Gu Han lightly raised her hand, and a gentle force supported her.
"Since you have become my Disciple, this is the introductory gift I give you."
She pushed the Jade Slip and the jade bottle toward Liu Ruyan.
"The Samsara Dao Scripture is obscure and profound. When you Cultivate, you must perceive it slowly and progress step by step; do not be greedy for quick success."
"The medicinal power of the heaven and earth creation pill is vast. Go to the Quiet Room in the Side Hall to take and refine it; I will act as your Protector."
"Yes! I obey the Master's command!"
Liu Ruyan solemnly took the Jade Slip and the jade bottle with both hands, as if holding a peerless treasure.
However, at this time, she did not know that it was precisely because of this Cultivation Technique!
That while she would possess Heaven-Defying combat power in the future, she would also become a Witch whose name made everyone turn pale with fear!
Of course, that is all for later!
