Chapter 1856: Chapter 925: The Immortal Gate’s Foundation (Part 2)

After Chen Mobai communicated with Qing Nu, he mentioned another method.

This method has another advantage, which is that the infant girl, by consistently absorbing gold spiritual energy from a young age, will grow and adapt, thus possessing the most perfect golden spirit body that facilitates her cultivation later with half the effort.

“However, this requires constant supervision. If the child gets restless and removes the sword pill, something could go wrong.”

Qing Nu, considering it from a physician’s perspective, pointed out the possible situation.

When encountering such situations, the Immortal Gate typically opts for conservative treatments, just like Zhou Shengqing’s approach, directly applying a talisman to ensure she reaches adulthood first.

“Then let the parents decide.”

After Chen Mobai spoke, Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang turned their gaze toward Shi Pengyi and the others.

Being watched by three Nascent Soul Ancestors, they couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

“Ancestor, may I go home and ask my wife about this matter?”

The taciturn Shi Xuan suddenly stepped forward and said a word, because Guo Wanlan was still very weak from childbirth and hadn’t come up with them.

Chen Mobai naturally nodded, and soon Shi Xuan returned.

“Ancestor, we hope for the second method!”

This was not unexpected; in the Tianhe Realm, ninety-nine percent would choose the more powerful method.

Chen Mobai thought that this child was destined to be a strong sword cultivator, so he took a thumb-sized piece of rank-5 mysterious nether cold iron, condensed it into a glass-like sword pill using stat fire, and threaded it with a four-rank dragon tendon extracted from the corpse of the Poisonous Dragon Ancestor, personally hanging it around the infant’s neck.

“What is this child’s name?”

After setting up the restriction for the sword pill to absorb gold spiritual qi, Chen Mobai asked Shi Xuan and the others beside him.

“She hasn’t been formally named; we’ve only given her the nickname Jin Ling’er.” Shi Xuan replied.

“Please grant a name, Sect Leader!” Seeing Shi Pengyi was more insightful, he immediately said this.

Chen Mobai thought for a moment; the nickname Jin Ling’er already sounded very nice, and he couldn’t think of a better formal name. But in this situation, not giving a formal name seemed inappropriate.

“Let my wife do it.”

Finally, seeing Qing Nu deep in thought, he handed the task over to her.

“Bell chimes with celestial music, jade tinkling sounds, how about ‘Yu Ke’?”

Indeed, Qing Nu’s cultural expertise was much better than Chen Mobai’s, and she quickly came up with this excellent name from a line of immortal gate lore.

“Thank you, Sect Master’s Wife, for granting the name!”

Shi Pengyi, his son, and Guo Hongmin immediately expressed their gratitude.

After they went down, Chen Mobai discussed with Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang about Jin Ling’er’s future.

According to Chen Mobai’s idea, with Jin Ling’er’s talent certainly she should be placed under Mo Douguang’s tutelage for proper guidance.

“If she wishes to learn swordsmanship in the future, why not let her be under the sect leader’s tutelage? My sword dao is far inferior to yours.”

However, Mo Douguang directly refused.

Zhou Shengqing surprisingly agreed with this. After all, he had witnessed Chen Mobai’s sword leading a heavenly tribulation to slay the poisonous dragon; although Mo Douguang was also very talented in sword dao, compared to Chen Mobai, it was like night and day.

To prevent delaying this genius, they both felt it would be better if Chen Mobai took her in.

“I already have four disciples; adding more would make it difficult to manage.”

But Chen Mobai, aware of his own circumstances, realized his sword dao realm was built on empowerment and Mo Bao Sword Scar from the White Light Ancestor, lacking any foundation.

How could he teach?

To avoid misleading disciples, he immediately found an excuse, expressing limited energy and choosing not to take on more students.

Moreover, Jin Ling’er clearly had an outstanding metal attribute talent, which made Mo Douguang more suitable to teach her.

“I recall that you haven’t accepted a disciple yet. Since the sect brother Xiao Nanshan’s line is quite full, why not let Jin Ling’er join your Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion when she grows up, considering you chose her name?”

Zhou Shengqing indeed believed Chen Mobai’s words and immediately thought of a compromise. He had his own considerations: Qing Nu comes from an extraordinary background, and her alchemy skills are phenomenal. Although she is now paired with Chen Mobai as daoist couple, accepting a disciple from the Five Elements Sect would strengthen those ties further.

Hearing this, Qing Nu appeared genuinely moved. After discussing with Chen Mobai, knowing they wouldn’t have children until the divinity transformation stage, she didn’t mind accepting this talented and cute child as a disciple born right under her nose.

“This is not impossible. But let’s wait until the child is grown; respecting her own choice is important as she might have greater creations in her future.”

Chen Mobai, noticing Qing Nu’s expression, decided on it temporarily.

However, in Mo Douguang and Zhou Shengqing’s eyes, the greatest creation for Jin Ling’er was being able to enter the tutelage of Chen Mobai and Qing Nu.

“As this child grows, I will have to trouble Brother Mo to look after her.”

Chen Mobai said to Mo Douguang, as within the Five Elements Sect, his accomplishments in metal attribute techniques were the highest.

Mo Douguang naturally didn’t refuse, stating he would help establish the child’s foundation but refrain from teaching specific sword techniques or cultivation methods to avoid misleading her.
