Under Gu Hanyu's guidance, the three of them stepped forward, each giving Master Danding a respectful cup of tea, before following the customary ritual of paying homage to him as their spiritual master. Only after this, seating themselves cautiously in their new master's presence, did they wait for ensuing questions.
"There are not so many rules here, you don't need to be overly formal." Master Danding glanced at the three of them, speaking in a neutral tone, "I already have a general idea of your alchemy capabilities. However, now that you have become my disciples, I need to understand more about your cultivation progress in order to give proper guidance. Please introduce your cultivation statuses."
With that, he turned his gaze to Qian Xuefu.
"You can go first."
