Beast Taming Patrol

After the initiation ceremony into the sect, it was time to formally acknowledge a mentor.

Everyone had heard of this yesterday, and now, as Ji Qinghuan's words fell, the expressions on their faces instantly turned expectant.

For disciples just entering the sect, being accepted as a disciple by an epic-level Beast Tamer undoubtedly meant saving several years of hard work.

The senior disciples in the audience cast curious glances at the new disciples and the over two hundred epic-level Beast Tamers who appeared.

According to the situation of every previous initiation ceremony, about three out of ten new disciples could be noticed by the authorities and chosen as Direct Disciples right as they entered the sect.

Each batch had only about thirty individuals who could successfully acknowledge a mentor after the ceremony.

Who might be the lucky juniors this year?

Thinking of this, the disciples couldn't help but look towards Lin Su.

There was no doubt that Lin Su would certainly get a mentor.

The question was, who would take him as a disciple?

Several powerful authorities flashed through their minds, yet the disciples still felt it might not be enough.

Then, several people suddenly thought of something and looked warily towards Ji Qinghuan, who stood in the void before the Sect Master Hall.

Could it be...

At the thought of this possibility, everyone immediately felt that their trip was not in vain.

If it were true, then their decision to sign up and observe the ceremony was indeed correct.

On the side of the new disciples, due to their limited understanding of the strong figures within the sect, they did not have as many speculations as the senior disciples, but were more focused on their nervousness.

Amidst this tension, someone finally spoke up.

"New disciple Lin Su." Ji Qinghuan looked towards the new disciples below with a slight smile, "Are you willing to acknowledge me as your mentor and join my ranks?"

One word stunned the four seats.

Only the epic-level Beast Tamers present were unsurprised, as if they had long known.

The senior and new disciples were initially dazed, then suddenly widened their eyes.

Although some senior disciples had guessed this possibility, speculating and having it confirmed were obviously different things.

Now that Ji Qinghuan had personally mentioned it, their shock would not lessen in the slightest.

The acknowledgment of a mentor at the initiation ceremony, rarely did even a Star Lord directly choose a new disciple as a direct disciple.

But now, it was the Sect Master who had made a move.

The new disciples instantly felt a sense of envy; to be taken as a Direct Disciple by the Sect Master of the Immortal Phoenix Sect, one of the six top sects, and one of the most powerful individuals of the current age, was an immense honor!

Meanwhile, the senior disciples thought more of another matter.

Sect Master Ji Qinghuan had yet to take any disciple!

In other words, if Lin Su agreed to become Ji Qinghuan's disciple, he would become the sole disciple of the Immortal Phoenix Sect's Sect Master!

With this in mind, the way everyone looked at Lin Su immediately changed.

Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Su took a deep breath, stepped forward, and respectfully clasped his hands before Ji Qinghuan, "I am willing, Master."

"Good." Ji Qinghuan's smile deepened, and with a wave of her sleeve, an invisible force drew Lin Su to her side.

The next moment, the Sect Master Hall swiftly ascended back to its original position.

Watching the Sect Master Hall rise like the great sun, the new disciples were filled with envy.

It wasn't until a Star Lord walked out of the Star Lord Hall and began selecting the new disciple they valued that everyone snapped back to reality, focusing intently on anticipating the sect's authorities to choose them.

…

"Master, have some tea."

After three kowtows, Lin Su solemnly lifted a teacup and presented it before Ji Qinghuan.

Ji Qinghuan sat upright on the main seat, accepting the tea Lin Su offered, drinking it all, then slightly relaxed her posture and said with a smile, "Now that you have acknowledged me as your mentor, there's no need to be so formal."

Lin Su stood up, scratching his head, looking a bit at a loss.

After acknowledging a mentor, what should he say?

Awaiting answers online, quite urgently.

Seeing Lin Su's slight unease, Ji Qinghuan chuckled, tapping the table lightly with her hand, and three streams of light flew out from the Space Ring in her hand, hovering in mid-air.

"Since I've accepted you as a Direct Disciple, I, as your mentor, should not be stingy."

She stood up, walked over to Lin Su, and with a gesture, a stream of light flew over.

It was a phoenix crown, its entire body a glassy color, with a lifelike phoenix carved on it, the phoenix seemingly alive, with divine brilliance in its eyes, and faintly, phoenix cries could be heard.

Seeing Ji Qinghuan raise the phoenix crown, Lin Su quickly knelt on one knee, lowering his stance so she could reach his head.

Ji Qinghuan's eyes carried a bit more warmth as she removed the newcomer's crown from Lin Su's head, smoothed his hair, and placed this brand new crown on his head, "This is the Jade Glass Phoenix Crown, imbued with the power of one strike from Feng Venerable, serving as a life-saving trump card."

As Ji Qinghuan finished placing the phoenix crown on Lin Su, he slowly stood up, cupping his hands again, "Thank you, Master."

The power of an immortal-stage strike; such a gift was unquestionably significant.

With a smile, Ji Qinghuan gave a light wave, and another stream of light flew rapidly into her hand.

It was a Jade Ruyi, marked with leaf-like imprints, making it appear wrapped in a cocoon, with dazzling rays of light flashing beneath its lustrous surface.

Holding the Jade Ruyi with both hands, Ji Qinghuan attached it to Lin Su's waist, "This is the Jade Leaf Ruyi, containing the power of Rong Venerable, which can be activated when facing danger outside the sect to return to the sect."
