Chapter 99 Becoming an Apprentice: Poison Never Dies
Feeling the unreserved guidance from Du Busi and his heartfelt appreciation for talent, Huo Yutong felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
She exchanged a glance with Brigitte and saw the gentle encouragement in the latter's eyes.
She took a deep breath, stepped back, straightened her robes, then faced Poison Undying and solemnly bowed deeply.
"I am deeply grateful for the guidance of the Poison Sect Master. The Poison Sect Master is a master of all knowledge and a leading figure in the path of the Body Martial Soul. I humbly request to become a disciple of the Poison Sect Master, to observe the proper etiquette of a disciple, and to devote myself to cultivation. I hope the Poison Sect Master will grant my request!" The girl's voice was clear and melodious, and her tone was sincere and firm.
Poison Immortal was taken aback for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter: "Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! I have devoted my life to studying the secrets of the body, and to have such a fine disciple is truly my greatest fortune! I will accept you as my disciple!"
He stepped forward and gently helped Huo Yutong up. "From this day forward, you, Huo Yutong, are my personally trained disciple, Poison Undying! All the sect's resources are at your disposal; I will impart all my knowledge to you and help you reach the pinnacle!"
"Congratulations to the Poison Sect Master on gaining a beloved disciple!" Bi Ji said with a smile at the right time. "It is Yu Tong's good fortune to have won the Sect Master's favor."
I, Bi Ling, am also honored by the Spirit Tower. And some things, Bi Ling will say frankly.
Poison Undying was in a great mood and waved his hand, saying, "Elder Huo Biling, please speak freely." Biji smiled and said, "The Poison Sect Master is a top expert in this world, with extensive knowledge and extraordinary cultivation."
Our Spirit Transmission Tower is newly established and is in dire need of capable individuals. We especially need a strong figure like you, a pillar of strength, to guide us. I, Bi Ling, would like to take the liberty of representing the Spirit Transmission Tower to sincerely invite the Sect Master to serve as a guest elder of our tower.
This position does not require permanent residence within the tower, nor does it restrict the sect leader's freedom. It only hopes that the sect leader can provide valuable experience and insights to our tower in major decisions such as sect affairs and future development.
Of course, the Spirit Pagoda will also be used to honor the elders with the highest standards, and its resources, including elixirs and soul-guiding technologies, will be given priority access to the sect leader and the main sect.
Upon hearing this, Du Busi stroked his beard and pondered. He knew that the position of Guest Elder meant a closer alliance, and the potential and resources shown by the Spirit Pagoda were extremely attractive to both him and the Body Sect.
Furthermore, having just accepted Huo Yutong as his disciple, their relationship was already different. Although Du Busi was a man of strong emotions, he also possessed the charisma of a sect leader.
After a moment, he laughed loudly, "Good! Elder Huo Biling is a man of few words. If I were to refuse again, it would seem pretentious! I will accept this position as a guest elder!"
"If the Spirit Pagoda ever needs anything in the future, as long as it does not violate the sect's code of conduct, this old man and the Body Sect will certainly provide our full assistance!"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the council chamber was extremely harmonious.
With the apprenticeship ceremony completed and the position of guest minister secured, the atmosphere in the council hall became increasingly harmonious.
After everyone was seated again, Brigitte's expression turned serious, and she steered the conversation toward a deeper level of cooperation.
"Poison Sect Master, now that we've cooperated, Bi Ling will speak frankly about the poisonous fog in Sunset Forest." Her tone was solemn. "This poison is extremely insidious, capable of directly eroding the source of life and soul power; it is by no means an ordinary poison."
One of my elders in the Spirit Pagoda, whose strength is no less than that of the sect leader, was forced to retreat even after conducting an in-depth investigation, as he could not hold out for long.
Poison Immortal's gaze suddenly sharpened. As a connoisseur of poisons in this world, he understood better than anyone what "eroding the source of life" meant—it went beyond the scope of ordinary poisons and touched upon the level of rules.
He asked, "Oh? Even Elder Guita is helpless? Elder Huo, could you explain the source of that poisonous fog in detail?"
"That's the key," Brigitte continued. "Before the elder withdrew, he sensed that the source of the poisonous fog was a huge barrier."
It was the existence of this barrier that distorted and drained the life force of the entire Sunset Forest, transforming it into this venomous miasma of annihilation.
"A barrier?" Incredulity and extreme solemnity flashed in Poison Undying's eyes.
"Exactly." Biji continued, "Breaking the barrier is beyond our current capabilities. The most urgent task is to prevent the poisonous fog from spreading further and harming the surrounding creatures, especially your sect's territory."
Therefore, on behalf of the Spirit Pagoda, I propose that the Snow Demon Sect, which is most familiar with the area, be responsible for regularly monitoring the fluctuations of the poisonous fog and establishing an early warning mechanism.
At this moment, the Snow Demon Sect Master, who was standing to the side, looked troubled: "Elder Huo, it is not that we are shirking our responsibility."
Monitoring the poisonous fog requires sending elite disciples close to the dangerous area year-round. In the long run, the sect will be under immense pressure…
"We understand the sect leader's concerns," Bi Ji said gently and sincerely. "Since the Spirit Pagoda has proposed this idea, it is bound to take responsibility."
Our tower is willing to regularly provide the Snow Demon Sect with a batch of specially made antidote pills and financial support, which will be used specifically to ensure the safety of the disciples and maintain the operation of the early warning system.
"In addition, the elixirs and soul guides inside the tower can also be supplied to your sect with priority." She paused briefly, then explained with a hint of apology, "It's just that my Spirit Transmission Tower has only recently entered the mortal world and its foundation is still shallow. We simply cannot spare enough manpower to stay there for a long time. This matter still needs to rely on your sect's hospitality and sense of responsibility."
After a moment of contemplation, Du Busi had made up his mind.
The source of the poisonous fog piqued his great interest, and the so-called barrier was a secret he longed to explore.
Having the Snow Demon Sect oversee things here is equivalent to establishing a forward observation post at the entrance of the Body Sect.
The resources provided by the Spirit Pagoda are of great benefit to the development of the sect.
"Our Body Sect will take on this matter," Poison Immortal finally spoke. "This poisonous mist is indeed strange, and I am quite interested in it as well."
The Snow Demon Sect will immediately arrange personnel to establish surveillance posts. As for the supplies provided by the Spirit Pagoda…”
"Sect Master, rest assured, the first batch of support will definitely arrive within a week." Bi Ji smiled and agreed, then took out a beautifully crafted storage soul tool, "This contains some antidote pills and a token from the Spirit Pagoda, as a token of our sincerity."
"Alright! It's settled then!" Poison Undying took the soul tool, scanned it with his spiritual power, and knew that the materials inside were quite valuable. His expression softened slightly. "The details of the cooperation will be discussed by my disciples later."
Next, Du Bu Si mentioned the arrangements made by the Heavenly Soul official regarding the area surrounding Sunset Forest some time ago. It can be said that recently, the sects near Sunset Forest have all participated in the evacuation of civilians.
Upon hearing this, Bi Ji praised, "The Poison Sect Master is truly righteous."
Huo Yutong also admired him.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Huo Yutong stepped forward and respectfully said to Du Busi, "Teacher, there are actually two other Soul Masters inside the Spirit Pagoda who possess their own martial souls. They are sisters whose martial souls are hair, and they also possess a martial soul fusion skill. This disciple would like to ask on their behalf how they should plan their future cultivation path?"
"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Or between the original Martial Souls?" A glint flashed in Du Busi's eyes; this was an unexpected delight.
Soul Masters with their own Martial Soul are already rare, and those with Martial Soul Fusion Skills are even rarer. "Tell me about their situation in detail."
