Chapter 614: Chapter 607: Elder Ming’s Little Thoughts

“Taking disciples is a matter of one leading to two and two to three.

Anyway, since there was already a precedent, taking a few more wasn’t unacceptable to Chen Hai.

Of course, his standards were quite high, he wouldn’t just accept any Tom, Dick, or Harry as his disciple.

For example, Zhang Tianci, apart from his astonishing talent, the incredible fortune he possessed left even Chen Hai somewhat astounded.

Having such a person against the heavens as his disciple…

Chen Hai felt that this would not disgrace him.

“Senior Chen, are you willing to take disciples?” Ouyang Ming, thinking of something, felt enlightened upon hearing Chen Hai’s words.

Hesitantly, he ventured to ask Chen Hai for confirmation.

“Indeed, I’m somewhat interested, but taking a disciple also depends on fate!” Chen Hai nodded in response.

“I wonder, what requirements must one meet to become your disciple?”

“Are you willing to accept disciples who come with skills?”

Seemingly plotting something, Ouyang Ming pressed on with his questions.

“I assess disciples primarily based on talent and fortune.”

“Generally speaking, those rare cultivation geniuses, if I take a liking to them, shouldn’t have much problem becoming my disciple.”

“Coming with skills? Even better, I certainly wouldn’t mind that!”

After some thought, Chen Hai explained.

His Essential Cultivation Method, compared to the methods of other Sects in West Barbarian Mountain Territory, was more profound, several levels higher.

Such a method, Chen Hai could cultivate on his own. He wouldn’t dream of teaching it to others, and even if he could, he wouldn’t pass it on.

As for inheriting Cultivation Techniques, he had none at the moment and could only think of creating a new one.

Truth be told, his realm was not low.

On the day the Desolate Heavenly Demon Sect invaded and after killing Sun Jitian, all their lineage’s accumulated wealth and essence fell into Chen Hai’s hands.

At the Bloodthirsty Sect, Chen Hai had already perused almost all the scriptures stored in the Scripture Pavilion.

After all, with his strength combined with the extremely secretive Nether Shadow Step, not to mention sneaking into the Scripture Pavilion, even if he wanted to abduct a few people, nobody would notice him.

Given such a foundation, creating an Essential Method seemed not utterly impossible!

Moreover, even if he lacked foundation, he could simply visit other Sects to take a glimpse of their inherited treasures.

Now within West Barbarian Mountain Territory, he could freely enter and exit Medicine King Valley, what couldn’t he do and which other Sects could stop him!

“Senior Chen, I am one of those rare cultivation geniuses.”

“Don’t judge me by my current status, stuck only at Nine Realms Heavenly Tribulation. It’s not because my talent is lacking, but mainly because the Dharma Methods in the Bloodthirsty Sect are incomplete and have a low ceiling.”

“Since you’re willing to accept disciples with skills, may I ask…”

Hearing Chen Hai’s response, Ouyang Ming got excited and bowed deeply to Chen Hai before he hurriedly spoke.

“Get lost…” Before he could finish, Chen Hai, with a sullen face, abruptly cut him off.

If within the Bloodthirsty Sect there existed geniuses like Zhang Tianci, who wanted to switch to his Sect, Chen Hai might truly consider it.

But at this moment, it was clear that Ouyang Ming harbored the notion of not letting outsiders benefit; he even nominated himself to join Chen Hai…

Regarding this, Chen Hai truly had no words.

With a wave of his hand, Ouyang Ming, who was in front of him, lost control and was sent flying until he staggered and landed near the archway at the entrance of the Bloodthirsty Sect.

It was just that Chen Hai had no intention to harm him; he sent Ouyang Ming flying mainly because he found the man annoying and wanted him to get far away. Otherwise, his condition would surely have been more than just staggering.

“Elder Ming, what is this…” Just at this moment, Ye Qingqing, wearing a majestic purple palace dress, walked out from the gate.

“It’s nothing, Qingqing, I just accidentally twisted my foot.”

“You are now the Sect Master, so stop calling me Elder Ming; I really can’t take it!”

Seeing Ye Qingqing, who had almost become his wife, in front of him, Ouyang Ming quickly spoke up to explain.

“All is well then!” After nodding and calling out to Ouyang Ming, Ye Qingqing strode toward where Chen Hai was.

It had not been long since she had parted from Chen Hai, leaving his other residence.

Chen Hai had given her the Longevity King Fruit and some pills suitable for her use. Initially, she planned to retreat for a while to assimilate these gains.

Gui Wuya and Fang Qingshan had come to her, talking about Chen Hai opening up a cave mansion outside the sect gate, which quite surprised Ye Qingqing.

After all, Chen Hai had not mentioned any of this when he was with her.

Gui Wuya and Fang Qingshan, one a former Sect Master and the other her master.

Facing their sincere requests, Ye Qingqing, as the current Sect Master, found it difficult to refuse them outright, both emotionally and rationally.

“You, why have you suddenly stopped being a Guest Elder and gone outside to open a cave mansion?”

Having landed near Chen Hai, Ye Qingqing gave him a reproachful look.

“Living in the Guest Elders’ area isn’t convenient for our private meetings.”

“Everywhere in the sect, there are rumors claiming that you are keeping me and that I am a freeloader.”

“Rumors are dreadful. When there are too many, they begin to have an impact on us, more or less.”

“I opened the cave mansion here, just a stone’s throw from the Bloodthirsty Sect’s gate.”

“It’s quiet here, and we won’t be disturbed in whatever we do. You can come over whenever you want.”

“I think placing the cave mansion here is quite good. You aren’t here to talk me into going back to the sect, are you?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Hai explained with a smile.

“It is indeed Gui Wuya who came to ask me to persuade you to return.”

“But he has already stepped down. Now that I am the Sect Master of the Bloodthirsty Sect, why should I act according to his wishes.”

“I came here only because I was curious about you establishing a cave mansion outside the gate, nothing more.”

“Since you think placing the cave mansion here is good and you are happy, I really don’t care much about what you do.”

With an inexplicable smile on her face, Ye Qingqing exhaled as she leaned in close to Chen Hai and spoke softly.

As far as she was concerned, it didn’t matter where Chen Hai stayed.

Having shared joys and sorrows for so many years, she trusted the feelings between them.

After all, when she had become old and frail, looking nothing like her younger self, Chen Hai had always stayed by her side, faithfully.

Now that she had regained her youth and become beautiful and charming again, Chen Hai was even less likely to leave her suddenly and without reason.

She came here purely out of curiosity and some confusion in her heart.

Now that she understood the reason why Chen Hai did so, and found his reasons acceptable, Ye Qingqing naturally would not interfere with his decisions.

After staying and chatting casually with Chen Hai for a while, she greeted him and returned to the sect.
