CHAPTER 914: CHAPTER 890: BECOMING AN APPRENTICE

Jiang Xiaoxiao was surprised. She had no idea that walking through this door would reveal such a scene, with so many people vying for just her.

Moreover, no one considered the Kunlun Secret Realm a secret; they spoke about it so openly to her, as if it were a matter of course.

Before entering the door, Jiang Xiaoxiao had no clue what the so-called Kunlun Secret Realm was; she only knew about Kunlun Mountain from facing Song Moting’s ethereal soul.

Of course, no one in West City is unaware of Kunlun Mountain.

In his impression, everyone worships and respects Kunlun Mountain.

It’s said that Kunlun Mountain is a forbidden land, and no one wants to go there.

It’s said that those who enter Kunlun Mountain never come out, yet these people keep saying things implying that some have come out from Kunlun Mountain, and more than one person.

"Alright! Each of you should say less nonsense, don’t scare this girl off. Girl, let me tell you, it doesn’t matter whom you choose. No one here can influence your decision."

Gu Yang shouted angrily, then suddenly turned with a gentle expression.

It was as if the old man who had just been puffing and glaring wasn’t him, changing faces quicker than flipping a book page.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, "Is choosing a teacher a privilege everyone has, or is it just me who has this privilege?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao naturally didn’t know what her score of 300 represented here.

Because she had no concept or point of comparison.

The Hao family hadn’t had anyone pass the first round in hundreds of years, so what exactly does this score mean?

"Upon entering the Medicine God Association, everyone chooses a teacher, but it’s usually the teacher who chooses the disciple, and the decision lies solely with the teacher. But we don’t want to trouble you, so we hope you’ll choose who will be your teacher."

Gu Yang smiled slightly.

He didn’t speak the truth. Indeed, every physician entering the Medicine God Association has a teacher to guide them in learning medicine, inheritance, alchemy, and even to cultivate their potential to explore the Kunlun Secret Realm.

But this selection is one-way, where only teachers select students, not students selecting teachers.

The only exception here is Hao Ruxue. She can choose which teacher will be hers, a first for the Medicine God Association in allowing a student to choose a teacher.

Gu Yang didn’t clarify as he didn’t want the girl in front of him to get arrogant.

Her journey was still long, and to continue, she needed humility, effort, and modesty.

If the girl is praised too highly at the start, there’s the fear that arrogance might affect her future development.

In a thousand years, rare geniuses must not be ruined by them; each genius is the hope of the Medicine God Association.

He’s lived so long.

Hoping to witness a true miracle during his lifetime was the hope for all of them, which is why so many teachers from the eight ancient medical families were competing to teach the girl.

Such joyous and lively times probably never occurred before.

Gu Yang personally hoped to be Hao Ruxue’s teacher.

To witness the miracles of the Kunlun Secret Realm.

Could they complete a miraculous leap across eras?

"Esteemed teachers! I know all eight of you are highly respected, key inheritors of the Ancient Medical World, and the best in medical skills. But choosing just one teacher indeed feels difficult. Could we discuss a possibility of me choosing more than one teacher?

I’m a diligent student, and I promise to learn well from whoever teaches me. Moreover, I think medical science should be inclusive and diverse, merging harmoniously, possibly creating new miracles."

It’s not that Jiang Xiaoxiao is greedy, but she didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

Additionally, she had inquired about the eight families, making this choice difficult. Jiang Xiaoxiao knew her goal was entering Kunlun Mountain.

She definitely needed to enter the Kunlun Secret Realm.

Logically speaking, the Wu family’s elder said he’s entered the Kunlun Secret Realm the most times and has the richest experience, which couldn’t possibly be false; otherwise, wouldn’t others rebut him?

It would be most beneficial.

But Jiang Xiaoxiao also knew she needed to obtain the Gu family’s Rejuvenation Pill, regardless of whether it would be effective for Song Moting; preparations are needed.

The problem is choosing the Gu family means she cannot choose the Wu family, and choosing the Wu family means she cannot choose the Gu family. This became a dilemma for her.

Expressing her wish might seem greedy, but she wanted both the fish and the bear paw.

How can you know if you don’t try!

Gu Yang was stunned, and the others exchanged glances.

Soon after, a gleam appeared in both Gu Yang and President Wu’s eyes.

Yes, why hadn’t they thought of letting her choose more than one teacher?

If everyone became her teacher, she could integrate their strengths, and perhaps this child would gain unique opportunities.

After all, the information and inheritance received by each one entering the Kunlun Secret Realm varies, and combining all their strengths gives a sudden realization they never expected, never thinking to understand this simple logic despite living so long.

Maybe they never figured out how to lift the curse inside the Kunlun Secret Realm because their thinking was stuck in a fixed pattern.

Unlike the younger minds now, which are more efficient and faster, it’s also because each has their private goals, wanting their own family strong.

And never considered collaborating significantly with others.

Furthermore, even with collaborative efforts, ultimately everyone would part ways for their benefit; it’s what results usually.

And now, Jiang Xiaoxiao opened for them a new door. Suddenly, the world before their eyes became different, refreshing with clarity.

"Good, good!"

President Wu laughed heartily.

Gu Yang and the others shared a smile.

Yes!

Having one teacher isn’t enough!

It’s already a divine presence, and if she learns from the eight presidents, absorbing their experiences, the results will surely excite everyone!

"Glad to meet you. Xiao Xue, as your future teacher, I’ll fully dedicate myself to teaching you."

Gu Yang reached out a big hand, teacher indeed!

Jiang Xiaoxiao shook hands with each of the eight elderly gentlemen, which also meant acknowledging them as her teachers.

Originally, Jiang Xiaoxiao intended to follow ancient manners and bow to the teachers reverently as a form of apprenticeship, but Gu Yang said that times were changing rapidly, and they no longer followed these traditions; although they were teachers, they didn’t require such formalities.

Jiang Xiaoxiao only needed to bow to them as a gesture of apprenticeship.

Starting tomorrow, Jiang Xiaoxiao would enter the Medicine God Association to officially commence her studies.
