Yun Family Immortal Abode.
After Ye Qiye rejected "Gu Zhenren," his "Dihua Poison" worsened. He had completely abandoned his "Abyss" stance.
From today onwards, I am one of Master’s people, living and dying as Master’s person. I will sever ties with the "Abyss" and wholeheartedly serve Master.
"Master, I must become your disciple!"
Ye Qiye roared in his heart.
This obsession was etched into the depths of Ye Qiye's bloodline, making him unable to extricate himself!
Bang!
Ye Qiye’s knees hit the ground, and he knelt heavily.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple!"
Ye Qiye spoke with utmost sincerity!
Then…
The void trembled.
The majestic voice of "A Certain Master" boomed across the skies of the "Yun Family Immortal Abode."
"I refuse!"
The rejection was swift and decisive, leaving no room for appeal!
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiye was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
Excellent!
So happy!
…
A certain cave.
A Certain Master
o( (⊙﹏⊙) )o
What in the world?
He had rejected me clearly, so why was Ye Qiye so happy?
May I ask what your "thought process" is?
[Ding! Your friend "Ye Qiye" is thinking in his heart: Master actually responded to me personally, what does this mean? He values me greatly! He has been paying attention to me!]
Valuing me… what nonsense!
"A Certain Master" complained madly.
I am rejecting you, rejecting you, rejecting you!
Important things are said thrice!
[Ding! Your friend "Ye Qiye" is thinking in his heart: Master values me so highly, yet he says he won't accept me as a disciple, what does this mean? Master wants to test my sincerity and perseverance!]
A Certain Master

No, not at all!
My rejection is simply a rejection, in the literal sense. There is no test for you, don't overthink it!
[Ding! Your friend "Ye Qiye" is thinking in his heart: Okay, I will prove my sincerity and perseverance with practical actions!]
A Certain Master
Angry face.jpg
There is no need to prove your sincerity and perseverance!
Hurry up and give up on becoming my disciple and return to the "Abyss"!
[Ding! Your friend "Ye Qiye" is thinking in his heart: Right, I know a secret: there are seven "Innate Stars" on the ground, and three of them are stored in the same place. I will go and find them to present to Master, and that will prove my sincerity and perseverance!]
Three "Innate Stars"?
A Certain Master
ヽ(￣▽￣)ﾉ
Ah, tempting!
Admittedly, this time, Ye Qiye hit a nerve with Hao Ren.
Hao Ren's "Oriental Star Chart" had a total of "seven Innate Stars." He had already collected "four Innate Stars" and was still missing the final "three Innate Stars."
If he could collect all "seven Innate Stars," Hao Ren's "Oriental Star Chart" would be restored to its peak glory and become a true "Innate Spiritual Treasure"!
An "Innate Spiritual Treasure"!
Awesome!
Up to this point, Hao Ren had never truly possessed an "Innate Spiritual Treasure"!
Tempting!
Irresistible!
The temptation of "three Innate Stars" was too great, and Hao Ren could not refuse it at all!
Ye Qiye stepped forward and said loudly.
"Master, if I bring back the three Innate Stars, will you accept me as your disciple?"
Hao Ren remained silent, offering no commitment!
He wanted the "three Innate Stars" but did not want to accept Ye Qiye as a disciple. Accepting Ye Qiye would be like poking the "Abyss," a "hornet's nest"!
What if there was a possibility that Ye Qiye would retrieve the "three Innate Stars" and then *not* become a disciple?
Hao Ren fell into deep contemplation!
Ye Qiye received no response from Hao Ren for a long time. Instead of getting angry, he was incredibly happy.
"Excellent, Master has tacitly agreed!"
No objection means "tacit agreement"!
Ye Qiye said with immense joy.
"Master, please rest assured, I know an Abyss secret technique that allows me to track the location of those three Innate Stars in real-time. I will definitely bring them back!"
An Abyss secret technique?
A Certain Master
(￣ェ￣；)
Hey, hey, hey, Ye Qiye, you've already revealed your "Abyss spy" identity!
Ye Qiye himself did not care. He was filled with joy, only thinking about finding the "three Innate Stars" as quickly as possible and then becoming a disciple of the "Mysterious Master."
Unbeknownst to Ye Qiye, in a certain cave, "A Certain Master" was letting out a sinister laugh like a "fox stealing a chicken."
Hahaha…
"Ye Qiye, this Master did not agree to you. Everything is your own assumption!"
"When you bring back the three Innate Stars, this Master will still refuse you!"
"As for those three Innate Stars, this Master will exchange them with you for acquired spiritual treasures, the Qing Yuan Immortal Swords. Three Qing Yuan Immortal Swords for one Innate Star, you won't be at a loss, hahaha…"
"A Certain Master" was almost impressed with himself.
Am I too "shameless" for doing this? Hahaha…
Ye Qiye, completely unaware that he was being "schemed against," happily prepared to set off in search of the "Innate Stars."
At this moment, a group of cultivators looked at Ye Qiye with envy.
This guy was truly "blessed by misfortune"!
He actually had a chance to become a disciple of "Master," how enviable!
Becoming a disciple of "Master" was the dream of almost every cultivator present.
Even if you asked "True Lord Chunyang" and "Ancestor Fang Que," these two "Nascent Soul Ancestors," they would undoubtedly answer that they also wished to become a disciple of "Master"!
The charm of "Master" was that great!
Master is light, Master is electricity, Master is the only legend…
On the judging panel.
Li Xiaoyao looked at Ye Qiye with bright eyes.
His gaze was incredibly complex.
Envy!
Longing!
And a hint of "restlessness"!
…
However, Li Xiaoyao was ultimately a restrained and rational man. He suppressed the "impulse" in his heart and returned to his seat.
What he didn't know was that "Ling'er," standing beside him, had witnessed his every move.
"Ling'er" stood up and said in a deep, resonant voice.
"Husband, darling, Brother Xiaoyao, you have something on your mind!"
Li Xiaoyao didn't want to waste words with her, waved his hand, and said dejectedly.
"No!"
"No, you do! You want to become a disciple of Grand Cult Master like Ye Qiye!"
"Uh, how did you know?"
Li Xiaoyao was struck by "Ling'er's" accurate guess, his eyes widened, and he looked at "Ling'er" in disbelief.
"Ling'er" let out a heroic laugh, revealing her bulging muscles, and said in a deep, resonant voice.
"Because, I and you have a telepathic connection!"
Uh…
"I," this style is very "Water Margin."
"Telepathic connection," this style is very fresh and artistic.
"Water Margin" and fresh, artistic style together, it's too incongruous!
Li Xiaoyao grumbled in his heart!
At this moment, "Ling'er" stepped forward.
With her hands on her hips, she said proudly and spiritedly.
"Grand Cult Master, my husband, darling, Brother Xiaoyao also wants to go and search for the three Innate Stars. I hope you will accept him as your disciple then!"
