Chapter 167 Metaphysical True and False Bronze Inscriptions: False Gold 17
Shen Qianyu had prepared the items needed for the apprentice-acceptance ceremony last night.
Inside the basement, a quiet and solemn atmosphere prevailed. Directly in front stood a plaque bearing the four large characters "Xuanzhen Immortal," written in sharp, vigorous strokes.
Below the plaque is an antique offering table with a gilded eight-legged incense burner on it. Three incense sticks are inserted into the burner, and the smoke from the burning sticks floats straight up in the air.
Shen Qianyu said solemnly, "Immortal Xuanzhen is my master, and will also be your grandmaster in the future. From now on, you two will become my disciples and must abide by the sect rules and diligently cultivate."
The Way of Metaphysics is vast and profound; it requires careful understanding and cannot be neglected in the slightest.
Shen Chumo and Cheng Tianqi replied in unison, "Disciples will obey Master's orders."
Shen Qianyu nodded slightly, then picked up three sticks of incense and handed them to Cheng Tianqi and Shen Chumo.
"Place this incense stick into the incense burner, then kowtow three times. This completes the apprenticeship ceremony."
Cheng Tianqi and Shen Chumo accepted the incense sticks and respectfully walked to the incense burner to insert them.
Then they knelt down and solemnly kowtowed three times, each kowtow filled with respect.
Shen Qianyu nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, from now on you will be disciples of my Xuanzhen Sect."
Then, Shen Qianyu took out two items and handed them to Cheng Tianqi and Shen Chumo respectively, saying, "These are gifts for becoming disciples. Please accept them."
Cheng Tianqi held a copper coin, while Shen Chumo held a jade ring with intricate lotus patterns carved on it, making it look exquisite.
Shen Chumo gently stroked the jade ring, feeling its warmth to the touch; this jade was a fine thing.
Cheng Tianqi looked at Shen Chumo's jade ring, then at the copper coins in his own hand. There was no harm without comparison.
He said with a pained expression, "Master Shen, why is mine a copper coin?"
Shen Qianyu said mysteriously, "This copper coin is no ordinary object. It can ward off evil and disaster. If there is an evil thing within five meters of you, it will warn you."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Tianqi quickly put the copper coin away and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master. I really like this copper coin."
Shen Qianyu nodded, a hint of unease flashing in her eyes. In reality, the copper coin was just an ordinary copper coin; the effect it had was simply due to a spell she had cast on it.
However, these copper coins are still very useful to Cheng Tianqi now.
Shen Chumo held up the jade ring and asked, "Master, what about mine?"
Shen Qianyu smiled and looked at her, saying, "This jade ring is a ring space. After you drip your blood, it will recognize you as its master."
Shen Chumo's eyes lit up. Although there was space within the system, it was somewhat troublesome to operate through Tuanzi every time it was used.
This ring could be used directly by her. Shen Chumo gently pricked her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the jade ring.
She saw the jade ring flicker slightly, and then she felt a strange connection with it.
Shen Chumo closed her eyes and focused on sensing the space within the ring. The space wasn't very large, but it was still about ten square meters. With this ring space, things would be much more convenient.
Shen Chumo smiled brightly, "Thank you, Master. I really like this jade ring."
When Cheng Tianqi heard that Shen Chumo's jade ring was a spatial ring, his eyes widened in surprise. My God, a legendary spatial ring! That's something you only see in novels. He wanted one too!
He looked at Shen Chumo with a hint of envy and jealousy. They were both disciples, so why was there such a big difference in their apprenticeship ceremonies?
Cheng Tianqi sighed, suddenly feeling that the name Shen Chumo sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Cheng Tianqi frowned, trying hard to recall. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he exclaimed incredulously, "Shen Chumo? You're Shen Chumo from the Shen family, the adopted daughter of my master's family, Shen Chumo?!"
Shen Chumo blinked at him and nodded. "Yes, I am Shen Chumo, so what?"
Cheng Tianqi knew about Shen Qianyu's background. When he learned that the Shen family preferred their adopted daughter to their biological daughter, he...
He cursed the entire Shen family, especially Shen Chumo, whom he cursed the most, and he was determined to teach her a lesson if he ever met her again.
As a result, Shen Chumo became his fellow disciple in the blink of an eye?
Cheng Tianqi looked at Shen Qianyu anxiously and said, "Master, she is Shen Chumo!"
Seeing Cheng Tianqi's reaction, the four demons standing to the side were also a little curious. So what exactly happened to Shen Chumo?
Shen Qianyu crossed her arms. "So?"
"No...you...no...that..." Seeing Shen Qianyu's attitude, Cheng Tianqi suddenly became somewhat incoherent.
What the hell is this?
Shen Chumo chuckled, her beautiful eyes lifting slightly.
“Junior Brother Cheng, I know you know some of the things the Shen family has done, but you just need to remember that they are them and I am me. I am Master’s disciple Shen Chumo, not the Shen family’s daughter Shen Chumo, understand?”
Cheng Tianqi was still a little confused. What was going on? Wasn't it the same person?
He glanced at Shen Qianyu's calm expression and scratched his head.
"Alright, since Master has no objections, I have nothing more to say. But don't cause Master any trouble, or I won't be so polite."
Shen Chumo smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for Master. I hope Junior Brother Cheng will take good care of me in the future."
Cheng Tianqi snorted, "We'll see how you do."
Although she said that, Cheng Tianqi knew in her heart that since her master had accepted Shen Chumo as his disciple and given her such a good gift for becoming a disciple, she must have something special about her.
Moreover, judging from their interaction just now, Shen Chumo doesn't seem as annoying as he imagined.
"But why am I the junior brother? Shouldn't I be the senior brother?" Cheng Tianqi said indignantly.
Shen Chumo linked arms with Shen Qianyu, leaning softly against her shoulder, her beautiful eyes holding a hint of playfulness.
"Master, tell me, which of us is the senior sister and which is the junior brother?"
Shen Qianyu coughed lightly, her eyes filled with a smile, "You became a disciple earlier, so you are the senior sister, and Tianqi, you are the junior brother."
"Did you hear that, Junior Brother Cheng? From now on, you'd better call me Senior Sister."
Cheng Tianqi stared in disbelief as Shen Qianyu and Shen Chumo leaned against each other.
"No, how could you cheat?"
Does that mean girls can just get close to Master Shen like that? Disgusting.
And this scene is damn pleasing to the eye.
Shen Chumo chuckled softly, "Not convinced? If you can beat me in the future, I'll make you my senior brother, how about that?"
"Really?"
Shen Chumo nodded, "Of course it's true."
Cheng Tianqi laughed and said, "Then don't say I bullied you if you lose."
Shen Chumo's lips curled up slightly, her eyes sparkling with confidence: "Then give it a try."
Cheng Tianqi was unaware that Shen Chumo was already far superior to ten of him in metaphysics.
