Chapter 277

Wang Yu followed Ximen Mei into the hall and saw at a glance a golden-robed old man with a strange face, sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall, still playing with two purple walnuts in his hand, with a giant golden toad the size of a calf lying beside him.

The giant toad was shining with golden light, as if it were purely made of gold, but its two eyeballs were emerald green and crystal-clear, as if they were two green gemstones.

This was the legendary third-rank spirit beast Tianchan!

Wang Yu looked at the giant golden toad twice more, and immediately followed Ximen Mei to bow to the golden-robed old man:

"Mei'er has met Grandfather."

"Disciple has met the Old Ancestor."

The two said in unison.

"Get up. You are Wang Yu?" Tianchan Old Ancestor looked at Wang Yu twice and asked indifferently.

"Reporting to Old Ancestor, it is this disciple." Wang Yu replied respectfully.

"Mei'er has mentioned you several times in front of me, saying that with your great help in the secret realm this time, she was able to obtain the Blood Origin Mushroom." Tianchan Old Ancestor finally revealed some smiles and said.

"Disciple merely exerted a meager effort. If it hadn't been for Lin Lin Shijie Ximen's formation attainments and talisman treasure to cover our figures, this disciple would likely not have been able to approach the central area of the secret realm." Wang Yu naturally declined repeatedly in his mouth.

"Grandfather, Junior Fellow Disciple Wang is being polite. If it hadn't been for Junior Fellow Disciple Wang Yu's help in this trip to the secret realm, I would definitely not have been able to obtain the Blood Origin Mushroom alone. Besides, he once saved my life before, and he has always been respectful and yearning for Grandfather. Why don't you accept him, Grandfather? I know you have had the intention of accepting another personal disciple recently." Ximen Mei walked to the side of the golden-robed old man in a few steps and smiled sweetly.

"Talking nonsense? At my status, the position of a personal disciple involves who knows how many interests, how can it be accepted just by saying so? As for the credit Wang Yu has established, this old ancestor will naturally reward him separately." Tianchan Old Ancestor heard this, but his brows wrinkled and he said.

Wang Yu saw this, and his heart felt cold.

However, he had never said he wanted to become a personal disciple of this Golden Core ancestor, he just wanted a temporary nominal disciple status!

Wang Yu had some doubts in his heart.

Ximen Mei, however, pouted slightly, and although she didn't say anything more, she walked behind Tianchan Old Ancestor and began to hammer the old man's shoulders very cleverly.

"Alright, you little girl, stop acting clever. This matter is absolutely impossible."

Tianchan Old Ancestor narrowed his eyes, seeming to enjoy Ximen Mei's shoulder-hammering technique very much.

"Grandfather, I heard that you encountered the Yuan family brat in the secret realm and even saved his life. Is there such a thing?" Tianchan Old Ancestor narrowed his eyes, seeming to enjoy Ximen Mei's shoulder-hammering technique very much.

"Grandfather, you are talking about Yuan Huatian? I did encounter him in the Jialan Secret Realm and even saw him being captured by the people of the Joyous Palace. If it hadn't been for Junior Fellow Disciple Wang and me taking action to help, I am afraid he would have become a guest of the Joyous Palace long ago." Ximen Mei snorted and replied with a look of disdain.

"Hehe, this Yuan Huatian brat is somewhat interesting. Alright, let's not talk about other things. Where is the Blood Origin Mushroom? Let me see if it can truly be used." Tianchan Old Ancestor chuckled, stopped mentioning Yuan Huatian's matter, and instead revealed a solemn look and asked.

"It is here. Junior Fellow Disciple Wang came to send this spiritual medicine to me immediately upon hearing that I had returned." Ximen Mei blinked, stopped her hand movements, took the black box from her body, and handed it to Tianchan Old Ancestor.

Tianchan Old Ancestor did not say anything, took the box and opened it, and immediately saw three Blood Origin Mushrooms and a talisman on top.

"This is..."

Tianchan Old Ancestor was slightly surprised and looked at the young woman beside him.

"Grandfather, this is..." Ximen Mei moved her mouth slightly and transmitted the sound over, while pointing at Wang Yu with her finger, seeming to explain the purpose of this sound transmission talisman.

Tianchan Old Ancestor heard the sound transmission, looked at Wang Yu again, and his gaze carried a hint of surprise. Following that, he flicked his sleeve, and a pale yellow wooden stick appeared in his hand.

The wooden stick was covered with cyan-green spiritual patterns, layer upon layer, looking like a second-rank artifact.

Tianchan Old Ancestor merely used the wooden stick-shaped artifact in his hand to point at the three Blood Origin Mushrooms in the box.

"Puff" sounds came, and three circles of green halo rippled from the three blood-red mushrooms respectively, with one circle of halo being the most dazzling, and the other two slightly inferior.

"Not bad, not bad. All three Blood Origin Mushrooms can be used, and all have thousand-year medicinal properties, especially one of them seems to have a medicinal age of one thousand two hundred years." Tianchan Old Ancestor saw all this, finally revealed a happy expression on his face, put away the wooden stick-shaped artifact, re-covered the black wooden box, and carefully put it away.

"As for your reward..."

Just at this moment, Ximen Mei gently began to knead the golden-robed elder's shoulders again, while her mouth moved slightly as she continued to transmit some words:

Just at this moment, Ximen Mei hammered the old man's shoulders again, and at the same time, her mouth moved slightly, continuing to transmit some words over:

"Nominal disciple?"

The golden-robed old man seemed to have heard some words that surprised him.

"Yes, Junior Fellow Disciple Wang can not ask for other rewards, only a nominal disciple status is enough, and it is still temporary.

These Blood Origin Mushrooms can also be considered brought out of the secret realm by Junior Fellow Disciple at the risk of his life. This request is not too much, right?" Ximen Mei said with a smile. These words were no longer transmitted, but instead spoken directly with a somewhat louder voice.

"Wang Yu, are you sure you want to exchange the Blood Origin Mushrooms you brought back this time for only a nominal disciple status from this old ancestor? If you cannot establish your foundation in the future, this status will also be taken back." Tianchan Old Ancestor's gaze flickered several times, and after frowning for a moment, he finally asked Wang Yu slowly.

Tianchan Laozu seemed to feel the sincerity in Wang Yu's reply, but only after a moment of contemplation did he make up his mind and say:

Tianchan Old Ancestor seemed to feel the sincerity of Wang Yu's answer, but after pondering for a moment, he finally decided and said:

"Logically speaking, a mere Qi Refinement late-stage inner sect disciple fundamentally cannot enter this old man's sect.

But these Blood Origin Mushrooms are indeed of great use to this old man. Besides, you once saved Mei'er before. These two merits can be combined together.

I heard that you also beheaded three demonic path true disciples in the secret realm this time, which shows that your own strength is outstanding among this generation of Qi Refinement disciples. Then this old ancestor will give you a chance. I can accept you as a nominal disciple, but I will not actively announce this matter to the outside world, only tacitly acknowledge it.

In addition, I will give you another twenty years of time. If you succeed in establishing your foundation during this period, you can become this old man's true disciple. But if you cannot establish your foundation for such a long time, it means you and this old man have no master-disciple fate, and the nominal disciple status will also be taken back. Do you have any other opinions on this?"

"This disciple naturally has none. Many thanks to Old Ancestor for your grace in accepting this disciple!" Wang Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this and replied without thinking.

"Junior Fellow Disciple Wang, you still call Grandfather Old Ancestor, shouldn't you change your address?" Ximen Mei saw this scene, also beamed with joy, and reminded Wang Yu with words.

"Lin Lin Shijie is right. Disciple Wang Yu, pays respects to Master."
