Chapter 89: The Matriarch’s Approval
With teaching materials secured, the entire Zhen Yan Sect buzzed with renewed activity. To welcome Instructor Qiu Zhang, You You convened a full assembly of disciples, formally introducing the floating teacher to everyone—even contacting those away on missions.
Qiu Zhang began lecturing immediately. Though startled at first by a spectral instructor explaining cultivation methods, the disciples gradually grew accustomed. Yuan Qi proposed stabilizing Qiu Zhang’s residual soul through formations, followed by soul-based cultivation. Higher cultivation levels would extend his existence, potentially leading to physical form or ascension—though this path proved harder than ordinary cultivation.
Thrilled by this unexpected second chance, Qiu Zhang embraced his dual role: instructing disciples by day and cultivating in Yuan Qi’s formation by night, working with bee-like diligence. You You felt capitalist guilt witnessing his tireless efforts, contemplating additional support.
“Yuan Qi,” she asked, “are there other ways to stabilize his soul besides formations?”
The golden-haired man passed her a teacup. “Pills could assist. Though bodiless, he can absorb refined pill essence. Ghost cultivators use similar soul-refining methods, though his residual state makes it harder.”
Nodding, You You mentally inventoried their Spiritual Plants reserves when a disciple announced Kui Bi’s arrival.
The newly-minted Nascent Soul Master strode in, transformed from the jaded sixth-tier alchemist they’d first met. Radiating vitality, he performed disciple’s etiquette despite not being formally inducted.
“Congratulations on your advancement,” You You greeted.
Blushing fiercely, Kui Bi stammered through his petition: “Noble Lady… I… I wish to propose to Shui Yan! We’re fated—I’ve loved her since first meeting centuries ago. When she fell, I searched endlessly…”
You You blinked. “Why tell me?”
Yuan Qi whispered explanation: “As sect master, you’re guardian to parentless disciples. Marital vows require your approval.”
Appraising the flushed petitioner, You You summoned Shui Yan. The transformed disciple arrived promptly—no longer the broken seductress but a Golden Core cultivator glowing with vitality, her gaze burning when addressing You You.
“Disciple Shui Yan greets the sect master!”
