Lu Sulan had already expected this scene the moment Jiu Shen told her to protect Can Ye. Even so, she was still curious about what was so special about this junior brother of her that even her master decided to take him as his disciple. 'Looking at junior brother's face, he should be around forty years old, but he's cultivation is surprisingly at the late stage of the 6th-rank King. Although that kind of cultivation speed can only be considered as 'not bad', it must be mentioned that Can Ye didn't have a noteworthy background, making it even harder for him to advance in level. Master might have discovered that he has some talent...' Lu Sulan thought.
A few hours later, Theia closed the store's entrance to end the day's business. She then took a glance at the four Earth Origin Dragon Trees and nodded her head internally. "These four spiritual plants bore fruits just this morning, but to think that it didn't even take much time for them to ripen. In a few hours, they can already be plucked." Theia muttered to herself as she walked towards Jiu Shen. The moment she was reincarnated to this place, the first person she saw was Jiu Shen. There was also something within the depths of her soul that compelled her to serve him faithfully, but in truth, even without that, she will still stay by Jiu Shen's side. She didn't know why she felt that way, but there was something inexplicable about Jiu Shen that made her want to be with him.
"Can Ye, this is your senior sister Lu Sulan. She is the sect mistress of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect. She is also much younger than you but her strength is already at the early stage of the 8th-rank Divine realm, and it won't be long for her to advance by another minor realm. You need to work hard if you want to catch up to her." Jiu Shen said indifferently.
Hearing her master's praise, Lu Sulan could not help but blush while looking at Jiu Shen coyly.
Can Ye clenched his fists tightly with a determined look as he nodded his head at Jiu Shen. "Don't worry, master. I will not disappoint you."
"Good! I will also be giving you guys your presents for taking me as your master." Jiu Shen muttered calmly.
'I already have a suitable present for Can Ye, but I don't have anything else to give for my senior disciple. And it has been quite a while since I have promised to give her a present, so she might feel despondent if I don't give her anything now...' Jiu Shen sighed in his heart.
"Can Ye." Jiu Shen called out.
"Master." Can Ye bowed respectfully and looked at Jiu Shen expectantly. Just what kind of item would I receive from master? Considering his strength and identity as an Alchemy Saint, his gift shouldn't be ordinary.
Jiu Shen took out the Supreme Eternal Knife Set that was still sheathed state on an ordinary-looking wooden block. The moment it was taken out from his space earring, an oppressive aura enveloped the whole store, causing Can Ye and Lu Sulan to pale in fright. Even Hestia and Theia furrowed their eyebrows as they glanced at the Supreme Eternal Knife Set in Jiu Shen's hands.
If one would look close, there was an empty slot in the knife block. Indeed, it was the slot for the huge knife in Can Ye's possession.
Can Ye could hardly stand up from the overpowering aura and even staggered. This! What kind of godly weapon is this?!
Jiu Shen waved his hands, instantly removing the immense aura that weighed down on everyone. "This is the Supreme Eternal Knife Set. The huge knife in your possession is part of this set. Each knife from this set is an Immortal Weapon, and the complete set is a God Weapon. With your cultivation, you don't have the power to control the full set yet. As of the moment, you can only use one knife. Take it and brand it with your blood." Jiu Shen handed the knife block to Can Ye with an impassive look. He had no use for this since he already a weapon. Furthermore, Hestia was the cook of his store, so the Supreme Eternal Knife Set was now useless to him. Aside from that, he still had two more kitchen tools, the Divine Devil Skull Frying Pan and the White Tiger King Griller. However, he decided to keep it as a reward for his disciples.
Can Ye's breathing intensified as he stretched out his shaking arms to receive his master's gift. Although he didn't know what an Immortal Weapon or a God Weapon was, he believed that it must be awesome especially after recalling that frightening aura earlier. "Master... Thank you..." He bowed solemnly at his master and vowed to work harder in his cultivation.
Lu Sulan was also shocked, but she merely smiled happily for her junior brother. "Congratulations, junior brother! You must cultivate well so that you can use the weapon's full potential."
Can Ye smiled at Lu Sulan and replied humbly. "Yes, senior sister. I won't disappoint you and master."
Lu Sulan then turned her gaze to Jiu Shen and asked with a stern look. "Master, in the history of Nuar, there are only three levels of weapons, the Earth Weapon, the Divine Weapon, and the Saint Weapon. So what are this Immortal Weapon and God Weapon that you speak about?" She grew curious about it the moment it left Jiu Shen's mouth and because of this, she also became even more suspicious about Jiu Shen's origins.
Can Ye furrowed his eyebrows and was similarly curious, so he glanced at Jiu Shen, waiting for him to speak.
Jiu Shen looked at his two disciples and sighed after shaking his head. He didn't want to tell them about his identity, but since they were already his disciples, it might be good for them to know who he was. "Since the both of you are curious, I might as well tell you a bit about me. Hestia, Theia, you two can listen as well."
After gathering his thoughts, Jiu Shen spoke in a cold voice.
"I came from the Primordial God Realm."
