The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Zhou Qing smiled indifferently, "Being cautious never hurts. Instead of sneaking around, I thought it better to directly join the Shen Family."

"Join the Shen Family?" The second uncle was taken aback, then his eyes widened.

"Address the root cause." Zhou Qing’s gaze was like a blazing light, and his aura suddenly changed.

"Since I’ve decided to pursue her, I should understand everything about her. Wouldn’t it be perfect if I could help her resolve the crisis?"

The second uncle looked into Zhou Qing’s resolute eyes, and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Good! You have a sense of responsibility, understand boundaries, and know how to protect your beloved. It feels like a fun plan, but..."

He rubbed his chin, "The Shen Family’s threshold is not low. What identity do you plan to join with?"

"Array Master."

"Array Master?" The second uncle was initially stunned, then shook his head, "It’s indeed a good breakthrough point, but for a noble family like the Shen Family, an ordinary Array Master might be... Good heavens!"

Before the second uncle finished his words, he was suddenly dumbfounded, speechless with astonishment.

He saw countless Spirit Seals suddenly emerge around Zhou Qing, dense as if surrounded by a galaxy.

With the second uncle’s eyesight, he could immediately tell—there were at least thirty thousand Spirit Seals!

"This... this this..." Coming to his senses, the second uncle took several steps back, his face full of disbelief.

Back in the day, to explore the few coffins in the Taiqing Sect Grotto Heaven Forbidden Area, he specially went to the White Jade Taixu Courtyard and became a disciple under Lin Daochen.

Later, he even "coaxed" Zhou Qing to study, and both became Master Lin’s most proud disciples.

He still remembers when Master Lin personally introduced them to meet the reclusive expert Weng Yunqi, to gain support for them.

But now...

The second uncle looked at Zhou Qing, surrounded by Spirit Seals, and was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

He himself has cultivated until now, barely managing to condense five thousand Spirit Seals, just enough to become a third-level Array Master.

Yet, Zhou Qing has already condensed thirty thousand Spirit Seals, just two hundred thousand won more to become a Fifth-level Array Master.

Throughout the Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty, you can count the Fifth-level Array Masters on one hand.

Such talent is truly astonishing!

"Good! Good! Good!" The second uncle advanced in excitement, trembling all over, "I’ve truly underestimated you!"

Zhou Qing’s lips curled into a smile.

If it weren’t for the second uncle, how could he have obtained the roots of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree in the Peng Emperor’s cave?

If it weren’t for the second uncle, how could he have quickly gathered the rare materials needed to activate it in the Grotto Heaven Forbidden Area?

Thus achieving what he has today!

"Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, it’s truly extraordinary!" The second uncle patted Zhou Qing’s shoulder, his eyes glowing brightly.

In mere decades, this kid not only broke through to the Spirit Severing Realm but also condensed thirty thousand Spirit Seals. This talent is astonishing.

"With your cultivation at the Spirit Severing Realm and three thousand Spirit Seals at such a young age, if the Shen Family isn’t blind, they’ll surely treat you as an honored guest!"

Zhou Qing nodded slightly.

With his current mastery in Array Dao, joining the Shen Family is indeed a piece of cake.

"Wait!" The second uncle suddenly slapped his thigh, a cunning gleam in his eye, "I have a brilliant idea!"

"What idea?" Zhou Qing asked in confusion.

"We join the Shen Family together!" The second uncle rubbed his hands excitedly, "I’ll pose as your disciple!"

"What?" Zhou Qing was stunned.

The second uncle rubbed his hands and laughed, "Look, you have thirty thousand Spirit Seals, I have five thousand, doesn’t this master-disciple pairing fit perfectly?"

Zhou Qing showed a troubled expression, "This... doesn’t seem proper, does it?"

"What’s improper about it!" The second uncle waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Back at the Taixu Courtyard, I was still your senior. It’s just a change of identity. I’ve always disregarded these empty titles."

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment, then gently nodded.

Without entering the tiger’s lair, how can one get tiger cubs? With the second uncle’s assistance, things will certainly be more secure.

The second uncle suddenly turned solemn, lowering his voice, "Since they dare to hire Blood Contract Pavilion assassins for an attack, they likely know Miss Shen’s details."

"So you’ll need to change your name and appearance."

Saying this, he cautiously looked around to ensure no one was watching and lightly patted the entirely emerald-green Storage Bag at his waist.

The bag was embroidered with complex silver patterns, faintly circulating Spiritual Qi, with the opening tied by golden threads.

As he moved, the bag slightly trembled, and a little toddler wearing a red bellyband poked its head out.

It was indeed a transformation-level Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing was amazed; wasn’t it said that Storage Bags couldn’t contain living beings?

How was this managed?

Seeing Zhou Qing’s confusion, the second uncle explained, "This thing is called a Spirit Beast Pouch, with a pocket world inside, generally capable of housing basic living creatures. At that time, leave the old hen to me."

Saying this, he smiled mischievously at the Blood Ginseng, "Little Blood, give me another one of those, will you?"

The Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng first tilted its head toward Zhou Qing, a hint of bewilderment flashing in its crystalline blood-red eyes.

But soon, as if recognizing this old acquaintance, the ginseng’s head twitched.

Yet, upon hearing the second uncle’s words, it immediately pouted its rosy little lips, and its ginseng tendrils drooped.

It tightly hugged its ginseng body with its little short arms, hesitating for quite a while before reluctantly squeezing out a crystalline blood-red bead from between the tendrils.

The bead was entirely blood-red, with liquid seeming to flow inside, emanating a faint medicinal fragrance.

"Thanks a lot!" The second uncle smiled broadly, accepting the bead while taking out an exquisite white jade bottle from the Storage Bag.

Seeing this, the Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng instantly shook its tendrils with excitement, hugged the jade bottle like it was a treasure, and shrank back into the Spirit Beast Pouch.

Under Zhou Qing’s perplexed gaze, the second uncle assumed a solemn expression.

He then began forming hand seals, and a layer of a hazy azure light suddenly emerged around him.
