Chapter 603 A Gift for the First Meeting! Yang Jian Becomes a Disciple!
Upon hearing Yu Ding Zhenren's words, Yang Jian looked completely bewildered.
Seeing his appearance, Master Yuding quickly explained:
"Yang Jian!"
"Senior Brother Niu Ben is the top disciple of the Sanqing Sect."
"Besides that, he was also the first sage in the primordial world!"
"Isn't it a blessing from several lifetimes that you were able to become his disciple?"
Upon hearing what Master Yuding said, Yang Jian's expression changed drastically.
He had heard of sages, who were the most powerful beings in the primordial world.
To Yang Jian's surprise, the Niu Ben before him was actually the first sage of the prehistoric world.
Seeing Yang Jian's shock, Jade Cauldron Immortal smiled, then with a flick of his hand, a crystal-clear fruit appeared in his palm.
As soon as the fruit appeared, a rich, refreshing fragrance wafted out.
Yang Jian took a sniff and immediately felt refreshed.
Then, Master Yuding handed the fruit to Yang Jian and said with a smile:
"Yang Jian".
"This is a ginseng fruit, which can prolong life and enhance one's cultivation."
"Consider this... a small gift from your senior brother/aunt."
Just now, Niu Ben said that he wanted to take Yang Jian as his disciple.
Although Master Yuding was here on orders, he dared not object in front of Niu Ben.
Yang Jian was about to become Niu Ben's disciple, and as his senior uncle, it would be somewhat unreasonable for him not to offer a small gift.
This ginseng fruit was a gift from Zhen Yuanzi, who had sent one of his servants to pick it during one of his previous travels when he passed by the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.
Even the Jade Cauldron Immortal himself had never been willing to take it, so giving it to Yang Jian now shows his thoughtfulness.
"Ginseng fruit?"
"It can prolong life and increase cultivation level?"
Yang Jian looked at the ginseng fruit handed to him by Jade Cauldron Immortal, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he didn't dare to accept it.
After all, he had only met Master Yuding for the first time. As the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit, so how could he accept such a valuable spiritual fruit?
Seeing that Yang Jian remained motionless for quite some time, Master Yuding smiled slightly and said:
"Yang Jian, you're welcome to take this!"
"Didn't you still want to rescue your mother?"
"With this ginseng fruit, you can save a lot of time in your cultivation."
Upon hearing Yu Ding Zhenren's words, Yang Jian was immediately moved. He took a deep breath, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.
Right now, what he needs most is to increase his own strength.
One day, I hope to rescue my mother, Yao Ji.
With this in mind, Yang Jian no longer stood on ceremony and accepted the ginseng fruit from Jade Cauldron Immortal's hand, then bowed deeply and said:
"Thank you so much for your generous gift, Master!"
Seeing this, Jade Cauldron Immortal waved his hand, ignoring Yang Jian, and turned his gaze to Niu Ben:
"Senior Brother."
"There's nothing for me here, so I'll return to Penglai to report!"
Niu Ben nodded and said:
Go!
Then, Master Yuding did not linger and soared away on a cloud.
After Master Yuding left, only Niu Ben and Yang Jian remained at the scene.
At this moment, Yang Jian was staring intently at Niu Ben.
Just now, Master Yuding said that the person in front of us is the eldest brother of the three religions and the first sage in the primordial world.
Although Yang Jian was inexperienced in the ways of the world, he knew that the First Sage meant a sage.
After a moment of silence, Niu Ben smiled slightly and said:
"Yang Jian".
"Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
As soon as Niu Ben spoke, Yang Jian blurted out without thinking:
"I do!"
He was just waiting for Niu Ben to ask that question.
With that, Yang Jian knelt down with a thud and kowtowed deeply to Niu Ben:
"Disciple Yang Jian greets Master!"
Seeing this, Niu Ben smiled with satisfaction and said:
"it is good."
"From this day forward, you are my disciple!"
Get up!
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, Yang Jian finally stood up from the ground.
While others might not know about Yang Jian, Niu Ben knew him very well.
This child will be a key figure in the future Investiture of the Gods.
That's why Niu Ben showed up and stopped Yu Ding Zhenren from taking Yang Jian as a disciple. He had to keep such a person under his control!
Besides, Niu Ben can also see this.
Yang Jian here possesses extraordinary talent, and there is a faint radiance flowing between his brows, indicating that his third eye has not yet been opened!
Just then, a system notification sounded in Niu Ben's mind:
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, host! The apprentice recruitment task is complete!]
[Reward: Substitute Doll x1.]
[Note: A substitute doll can take the brunt of one fatal attack and prevent one death in place of its host. It disappears after use.]
"What?"
"A substitute doll?"
Upon hearing the system notification, Niu Ben's heart skipped a beat, and he was somewhat surprised.
Earlier, after the Sage Zhunti removed the seal that shielded the heavenly secrets of Guanjiang Estuary, Niu Ben triggered a god-level choice mission.
Should we accept Yang Jian as our disciple?
If you choose yes, you will receive an unknown treasure.
If you choose not to accept Yang Jian as your disciple, you will be rewarded with a Primordial Spiritual Treasure.
To Niu Ben's surprise, the reward given by the system was actually a substitute doll.
"Could you take a fatal attack for me and die in my place?"
Niu Ben muttered to himself, feeling both amused and exasperated.
After thinking it over, he calmed himself down.
"The substitute doll sounded like he was giving a wry smile."
"But its effect was significant; it was like giving me an extra life!"
Niu Ben said quietly.
You must understand, he is a Primordial Great Luo who has attained enlightenment, unlike other saints in the primordial world.
After he successfully attained the Primordial Chaos Realm in the Underworld, it meant that he was no longer bound by the power of the Heavenly Dao.
That is why, if Niu Ben were to die, he would not be able to be resurrected like other saints, relying on the power of Heaven.
If he dies here, then he is truly dead.
Now, the system has rewarded him with a substitute doll that can die in his place once.
This reward is certainly extraordinary!
"Master?"
"Are you...are you alright?"
Just as Niu Ben was lost in thought, Yang Jian, who was standing nearby, called out softly, noticing that something was off about Niu Ben, who suddenly stopped moving.
Hearing Yang Jian's call, Niu Ben finally came to his senses and smiled faintly:
Let's go!
"Come with me to the Bull Tribe!"
Without waiting for Yang Jian's reply, Niu Ben waved his hand, and an invisible magical force immediately enveloped Yang Jian.
When they looked again, the two had already transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
"Master, after I achieve success in my cultivation, will I truly be able to rescue my mother?"
On the way to the Bull Clan, Yang Jian couldn't stop asking questions.
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben smiled faintly and replied:
"Of course!"
"No matter what you do, you must first have confidence in yourself."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian nodded heavily and said:
"Yes, Master!"
