"I am named Zhao Kang. I passed through this place to accept you as my disciple!"
Zhao Kang looked at Li Qingyi and smiled gently.
He also took the opportunity, with the system's enhancement, to scan the stunning female sword cultivator before him.
[Name: Li Qingyi]
[Identity: Daughter of the Li family in Anluo City, absolutely beautiful, devoted to the sword path]
[Martial Talent: Saint-level]
[Root Bone Quality: Innate Formless Sword Body, Bearing of a Sword Emperor]
"What...? Senior Zhao wants to accept me as a disciple?"
Hearing this, Li Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
"Now Qingyi's cultivation has been ruined, and my talent is no longer what it once was. Today... I'm afraid Senior Zhao has misjudged."
Li Qingyi spoke with desolation, revealing a trace of sadness and bleakness.
She understood in her heart that Senior Zhao possessed such a transcendent and otherworldly temperament, plus that miraculous killing technique just now.
He definitely wasn't an ordinary person!
So how could such a godlike figure take interest in her, whose cultivation was now ruined?
Could it be because of her appearance?
To be honest, Li Qingyi had seen countless young talents.
When they saw her, some would stare lecherously, unable to look away, making disgusting displays.
Others would pretend to be calm, deliberately not staring at her while their peripheral vision never left her, utterly hypocritical.
But this refined and transcendent Senior Zhao was different.
His gaze was clear and pure, she couldn't detect a trace of impurity in it - he definitely wasn't a lecher.
"Your meridians are indeed severely damaged. Let me investigate thoroughly!"
Without waiting for Li Qingyi to speak, Zhao Kang pointed a finger at Li Qingyi's forehead.
[Ding! Li Qingyi's meridians contain large amounts of nameless sword energy, her extraordinary meridians are seriously damaged]
[If combined with specific supreme techniques and supreme pills, they can be repaired and even improved further]
At this moment, the system notification sound rang in Zhao Kang's mind.
"Heh... excellent!"
Zhao Kang's slightly furrowed brow immediately relaxed...
"Senior Zhao... your hand?"
Seeing Senior Zhao close his eyes and remain silent for a long time, Li Qingyi reminded him.
"Hehe... I was lost in thought while considering the problem."
Zhao Kang came back to his senses, withdrew the two fingers still pointing at Li Qingyi's forehead, and smiled awkwardly.
"Let me put it this way, Qingyi. Your injuries can be healed, and I can guarantee that after healing, you will definitely surpass your former self!"
"So... are you willing to become my disciple?"
Zhao Kang stood with his hands behind his back, looking unfathomably profound.
Hearing this, Li Qingyi's delicate body trembled slightly, and an excited gleam immediately rose in her beautiful eyes.
Injuries healed...?
This was something she didn't even dare dream of!
Surpassing the past after healing...?
This was like a fantasy!
Woman's intuition told her that this refined and mysterious Senior Zhao wasn't deceiving her!
Perhaps he truly possessed heavenly abilities to help her defy fate!
Thinking of this, Li Qingyi directly knelt on both knees and performed the formal discipleship ceremony to Zhao Kang with utmost solemnity!
"Master above, please accept disciple Li Qingyi's... three bows!"
"Very good. I, Zhao Kang, accept you as my disciple today. You shall be my eldest disciple."
Zhao Kang nodded with satisfaction, chuckling as he gently raised his hand from a distance to help Li Qingyi up.
Afterward, the two returned to Longkou Mountain.
.....
At this moment, at Longkou Mountain, behind Tanxuan Peak.
By the cliff's edge, at a stone table, Li Qingyi served her master Zhao Kang a cup of fragrant tea.
Then she stood quietly to one side, ready to listen to her master's teachings.
[Ding! Disciple acceptance task completed, first-time disciple acceptance super gift package activated, do you want to open it?]
At this moment, the beautiful system notification finally rang in Zhao Kang's mind.
He was secretly delighted but kept his expression unchanged.
"System, open it."
[Ding! Congratulations host on receiving rewards: Purple Heaven Sword (Ancient Sacred Artifact), "Primordial Sword Scripture", one bottle of "Nine-Turn Creation Pills"]
[Critical hit reward triggered!]
[Ding! Congratulations host on additional rewards: Bodhi Divine Tree, Master-Disciple Reward Points (two thousand points)]
[Rewards have been placed in system storage space]
A series of system notifications rang in his mind, and Zhao Kang's heart immediately filled with joy.
Just looking at the names of these reward items, one could see they were all divine objects!
There was the legendary Ancient Sacred Artifact Purple Heaven Sword, and even the innate treasure Bodhi Divine Tree!
Good heavens!
With just these existences, they would probably be enough to suppress the strongest beings in this world!
Whoosh!
With a wave of his sleeve, the Ancient Sacred Artifact Purple Heaven Sword appeared in Zhao Kang's hand.
The sword body was engraved with the ancient and weathered characters "Purple Heaven."
Purple sword energy permeated it, dao rhythm flowed, and natural emanated!
Zhao Kang held the Purple Heaven Sword and casually swung it twice, immediately sending two streams of primordial purple energy whistling out!
"Boom...!"
A mountain peak five li away was directly collapsed by the primordial purple energy!
"Such terrifying power!"
"What realm is master exactly? With just a casual wave of his hand, he can collapse mountain peaks five li away!"
"Such methods are frightening. Even Nirvana realm mighty ones probably couldn't do this!"
Seeing this scene, Li Qingyi couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on her forehead.
But her heart was also extremely excited - today could truly be called turning misfortune into blessing.
She had actually gained such an unfathomably deep immortal master!
In this way, she really should thank those assassins for their ambush, as it allowed her to obtain such a heaven-defying opportunity!
"This sword is quite good, very comfortable to use."
Zhao Kang nodded slightly.
Just now he had merely swung it extremely casually, not using any cultivation at all, yet still shattered a mere mountain peak!
This showed the sword's extraordinary power. If enemies disturbed his cultivation, he could directly kill them with a single distant sword strike!
At this moment, Fairy Li looked at her master Zhao Kang's handsome and refined face, and couldn't help but mutter to herself in her heart.
"Master looks so young... he must have used some supreme secret technique to specially preserve his youthful appearance."
"After all, to have master's level of power, he must be an old immortal who has lived for thousands of years..."
