"Disciple?"

Yao Yuan thought that he had heard wrongly.

Early in the morning, before he could even wash his face, the old man had arrived.

"Old man, don't joke around. I can't stand joking around. If you scare me like that, then you'll be responsible."

Yao Yuan knew that the identity of this old man must not be simple. After all, to be able to casually order around people in such a high level of Cloud Gate, a single person would know that this person must not be simple.

"Alright, stop calling me old man. Just call me Taoist Dazzling."

The old man said with a smile.

After all, he knew what was special about him. If he really had to say something, then a beating could be counted as something.

With just this kind of special ability, he was able to make a person with status like Daoist Voidwave take care of him? Yao Yuan really couldn't think of any reason.

"I still feel that it's strange that he's a disciple."

Yao Yuan laughed and then spoke of this matter in an extremely awkward tone.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just tell me your thoughts, and if you are willing, then you will be my disciple right now, but you don't have any special status. I will still treat you the same way the other disciples treat you, understand?"

Taoist Xu Hua said calmly.

Yao Yuan hesitated for a while, after all, this kind of thing was like a pie dropped from the sky, making it hard for people to believe that this was true.

Taoist Xu Hua would not harm him, this was something certain, but Yao Yuan still looked at him and said, "Is what you said true?"

"There was once someone who said that if I were to meet a person who was about to die and bring them back, I would have to accept them as my disciple. Thus, there is nothing I can do. It is fated."

Yao Yuan didn't know if what the Taoist Xu Hua said was true or false, but thinking back to when Liu Neng had found him, perhaps there really was some sort of mysterious power arranging everything.

"Alright, if that's the case, then I don't have any objections. I'm just afraid that your other disciples might be unhappy."

When the Taoist Xu Hua heard what Yao Yuan was worried about, he laughed out loud. "There's no need for you to worry about that, what you need to do now is to follow behind me properly and recover your current strength."

Indeed, even if the Yao Yuan right now could move, but if they were to fight, no one could beat him. After all, all of the spirit energy had been absorbed, and the current him could only be considered a shell.

"What should I do?"

Yao Yuan did not have a clue, since he was only half-way through the training. If there were any instructors, it would only be Ling Miao and the others who had said a few words, but if it was professional training, he really did not know anything.

"Follow me."

Perhaps because Yao Yuan's straightforward acceptance had caused Taoist Xu Hua to be pleasantly surprised, the latter was wild with joy. He didn't care whether Yao Yuan had eaten or not as he directly brought Yao Yuan to a small wooden house not far away.

Xiao Huan followed closely behind, guarding the door and not allowing anyone to enter.

"This Xiao Huan is..."

Yao Yuan was very curious, ever since the first time he had met Xiao Huan, the latter had always been acting very humbly, but Yao Yuan could clearly feel that the energy in Xiao Huan's body might be many times stronger than his own.

"Don't worry about it for now. Follow me in."

The voice of the Taoist Xu Hua was extremely intimidating. Yao Yuan followed closely behind his, passing through many mechanisms, even riding on the elevator. They arrived at an unknown distance, and said while pointing forward.

"This is where you recovered your strength."

Yao Yuan looked at everything in front of him in shock. He could not believe it for a moment, and stammered: "Master, are you sure?"

After Yao Yuan had nodded his head earlier, Yao Yuan and Taoist Xu Hua had a master-disciple relationship. However, Taoist Xu Hua did not want to do some random ceremony of taking in a master, so Yao Yuan kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to him a few times.

Taoist Xu Hua laughed: "You didn't see wrong."

Shouldn't you give me some martial arts manuals or some mental cultivation methods?

Yao Yuan's suspicions were not unreasonable, in fact, what appeared in front of Yao Yuan were only people covered in golden powder... " People?

He wasn't sure if the nine people standing in front of him were human, but he could tell at a glance that they were no different from real people. In fact, his eyes were even more solemn.

Yao Yuan tremblingly walked in front of the nine people, and used his hand to poke their faces. Realizing that it was a golden touch, he turned around to look at Taoist Xu Hua and said, "Fake?"

The Taoist Xu Hua smiled and slowly walked to Yao Yuan's side. He nodded and said, "That's right, a fake."

"These nine mannequins are the intelligence of our entire Cloud Gate. Don't just look at the nine Golden Man, their strengths do indeed reach the realm of Sea Sand. No matter what realm they are in, they can all find a suitable level of strength here."

The Taoist Xu Hua said slowly, caressing Yao Yuan's head, he smiled.

"Stay here and defeat these nine Golden Man. It will be when your strength recovers."

Heavens, he started with such a tough move?

Yao Yuan never thought that his cheap master's first lesson would actually be like this. He did not know whether to laugh or cry and said: "I will stay here?"

Initially, he thought the Taoist Xu Hua would comfort him with something, or give him some magical items. However, the reality was cruel, and the Taoist Xu Hua was right.

"Yes, of course, I've already told you that you are just my new disciple, similar to those outer disciples. You don't have any special privileges."

Taoist Xu Hua was right, and Yao Yuan couldn't find any reason to refute.

"Alright, I won't say anymore. I'll find someone to contact at your home, cultivate properly here. When you reach the three star Pond Fish realm, come out and see me again."

Taoist Xu Hua said lightly.

However, Yao Yuan, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbstruck. Only after a long while did he come back to his senses and say, "Master, you're messing with me. I've already been practicing for several months with three stars in my Pond Fish, and there are no signs of me advancing at all."

Taoist Xu Hua was walking back when he suddenly turned around to look at Yao Yuan. He said in a daze, "This is the perfect time for you to level up."
