I Can Give Talent

Chapter 23 – Disciple



Chapter 23 – Disciple

"Hahaha! Multi-tasking sure feels good!" Leyvi was still enjoying the effect of Dual Mind.

He stopped laughing after a while and turned his attention to the Universal Language talent. Does this mean that he could understand all kinds of languages? This could be useful in the future. 

Wait a second, could he talk to animals too? He'll test this with Stripey later. Oh wait, there's a panda here beside him, maybe he could talk to this panda. Leyvi stared at Anda with a weird expression after he made a stupid joke in his mind.

Anda immediately sensed this. She pulled Levyi's ears and scolded him, "Hmph! I know this face! You must be thinking nonsense about me again! Confess! What is it this time?" 

"Ouch...ouch...Panda my wife...ooppss..Anda my wife, it's about my new benefits. The other one is Universal Language...Ouchh," Leyvi pretended to be hurt like usual.

"Oooohh...so you thought you could talk to THIS panda now huh?" Anda crossed her arms and stared menacingly at him.

While the two of them were about to start their usual weird role-play, Tal and Tanya started to wake up. They were twitching and letting some small groans, an obvious sign of people waking up from sleep.

Anda immediately fixed her posture and acted noble again. She didn't want the kids to see her acting weird with her husband.

Leyvi chuckled a bit seeing his wife like this. How long would she try to maintain this holy image in front of the kids? Sooner or later they would find out anyway. Oh wait, didn't they already see him getting scolded by Anda previously? Oh no..his mysterious image was gone.

A few moments later, the Tal and Tasya were fully awake. The first thing they noticed was that their body felt very energetic. They have never felt so healthy in their life. They could even feel a kind of mysterious energy around them. They instinctively feel that they have to absorb this energy.

 From a mortal who could never sense spiritual energy to a person with spirit roots, they would feel the difference between the two situations even stronger.

"Im-Immortal! Have we succeeded?" Tal stuttered a bit while asking for confirmation from Leyvi.

"You can test it yourself," Leyvi took out the aptitude-testing artifact again and gave it to Tal.

Tal nervously put his hand on the aptitude-testing artifact and he saw a reaction this time. He held back his emotions and gave the aptitude-testing artifact to Tasya first. He won't celebrate until his friend can become immortal too. 

Tasya put her hand on the aptitude-testing artifact without wasting any time. This time, a reaction appeared for her too. Both of them celebrated the fact that they could cultivate now. It was the best moment in their life. Tal and Tasya were holding each other's hands and were jumping around.

"Congratulations on overturning your mortal fate and opening the path to becoming an immortal. Tal, from now on, you will start your cultivation path as a disciple of me, Leyvi." He was still acting mysterious in front of them.

"Disciple Tal pays respect to Master!" Tal immediately kowtowed to Leyvi. He swore inwardly not to disappoint his master who bestowed a miracle upon him.

"Tasya, are you willing to be my disciple?" Anda asked her first softly. She had to maintain her holy image in front of the kids.

"Tasya is willing. Disciple Tasya pays respect to Master." She copied Tal's actions and speech when recognizing Leyvi as master. 

With the simple ceremony, Tal and Tasya are now officially the first disciples of Leyvi and Anda respectively.

"Tal, based on the aptitude-testing artifact you did just now, you have an Earth-attributed top-grade spirit root. This means that you will have more affinity toward Earth elemental things. Make sure to pick a suitable cultivation manual and martial skills based on your attributes later." Leyvi explained the most basic stuff to Tal. 

Leyvi took out a space bag and gave it to Tal. "In this bag, I put some money, Qi refining pills for your cultivation, other miscellaneous pills, and our sect basic cultivation manual. The cultivation manual is a universal one where anyone with any attribute could use it. This also means that it is not the best cultivation manual for you. If you want better ones that suit you, you can only depend on yourself understood?" Leyvi explained more.

Even he was still using this cultivation manual, how could he give Tal a better one? Even so, his disciple would definitely be able to get his hand on a better one before him because attributeless spirit root is very rare. Since it's rare, fewer people would study and improve the cultivation manual. Maybe one day when he was good enough, he would make a better one for the poor cultivator that shared the same fate as him.

He shifted his attention to Tasya. He saw the anticipation in her eyes so he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. "There is no space bag for you." Leyvi teased. The anticipation in her eyes was replaced by disappointment. She almost teared up. 

Suddenly a hand reached his waist and a piece of his meat was twisted. He immediately looked at Anda and saw her panda glare!

"HUSBAND! Are you trying to bully my disciple!?" An angry panda wife appeared.

"Ow..ow..owww. It hurts..I'm just joking okay! Her space bag is here." Leyvi surrendered. His face as a master is gone now. He took out a space bag that had the exact same content as the one he gave to Tal and gave it to Tasya. 

The space bags were the space bags he obtained from the bandits. Usually, a space bag can't be put in another space bag or both would be destroyed. However, Leyvi's internal storage room can keep them inside with no problem. Leyvi already imagined himself as a space bag collector when he found out about this convenience.

Tal and Tasya were both still dumbfounded by the scene they witnessed. Were their masters comedians? They keep doing comedy skits. Tasya snapped out and quickly thanked Leyvi. "Thank you Master's husband."

Leyvi resumed his act as a dignified master and explained to her, " Tasya, you have a Fire-attributed top-grade spirit root. Your master also has a fire spirit root so it will be easier when you ask her for advice later. If you want to learn Alchemy, that is also possible but you might get frustrated later when you can't reach her level. Your master is the best alchemy genius in the world!" While explaining to Tasya, he suddenly started to praise his wife.

"Master, is that true? Are you an alchemy genius?" She had heard a few things about the cultivation world. It was said that Immortals who practice alchemy have higher status and respect than other immortals. So she was quite excited.

"Yes, your master is an alchemist but he was just exaggerating. Ignore that." Anda tried to deny the genius claim. She wanted to appear humble in front of her disciple.

"Don't worry, a year later both of you can see whether Alchemy Master Anda is a genius or not. Alright, both of you come here. I will teach you basic Qi manipulations or you won't be able to access the space bag." Leyvi changed his tone and became a bit more serious.

He spent the next hour teaching Tal and Tanya how to absorb and control the Qi. Their dantian is not opened yet so the Qi they can use right now is limited to the spiritual energy they can absorb from the surrounding.

When they started cultivating using the sect's cultivation manual later, they would learn how to direct the spiritual energy to the dantian through the meridians and activate it after it reached a certain threshold. At this point, they would officially be considered cultivators of the early-stage Qi refinement realm.

However, right now, they need to depend on their aptitude as to how long it would take to open up their dantian. With his aptitude back then, it took him 3 months to open his dantian. Leyvi estimated that Tal and Tasya would need only a week to do it. After all, they have top-grade spirit roots now.

"All right, we will leave now. Your master is staying at the Flowing Inn. I will give you a day to do some shopping and prepare tomorrow, I already gave you some money. The day after tomorrow we will depart!" Leyvi and Anda immediately leave the room.

After Leyvi and Anda departed, The room instantly went dark. Tal and Tasya were still staring at the door. So many things had happened tonight. It was hard to believe it was real.

"This is not a dream right?" Tal asked in the darkness.

"I am standing beside you. It's not a dream." Tasya replied as she held his hand.

"Haha! That's right. Tomorrow we will buy a lot of new clothes and stuff. I already checked the space bag, master gave us a lot of money! After that, we would say goodbye to the people of the town. They are going to be shocked when they see you walk." Tal excitedly told her the plan for tomorrow.

"Tal, would you still give me a piggyback?" Tasya softly asked.
