I Have A Bunch Of Saint Apprentices

The cold wind of winter was so cold that his tender skin felt as if it was being pricked by needles.    

Shen Jun was dumbfounded.    

He had traveled the world for many years, and he had seen countless kinds of illusions before and after his resurrection.    

Therefore, Shen Jun was very sure that he was not in an illusion.    

He had really transmigrated again and returned to the young him from more than 800 years ago!    

In the cold wind of winter, Shen Jun shivered.    

But it was not because of the bone-chilling wind.    

It was because of the terrifying and heaven-defying technique of the Time Shrine!    

He took a deep breath, and his lungs felt cold.    

He patted his face hard, and his skin was in pain.    

The bustling sounds of the merchants in front of him and the common appearance of the mortal town in front of him were all very familiar to him.    

He looked at his Storage Ring. It was gone, and the Wasteland Small World in his body was gone as well. His cultivation was gone as well.    

The current Shen Jun was just an ordinary eight-year-old child.    

It was too real at this moment.    

Shen Jun even had the illusion that the years he had spent in the Azure Wood Continent, Extraterritorial Battlefield, and Upper Realm were more like a realistic dream.    

After he completely woke up, Shen Jun's mood became even heavier.    

This damned Time Shrine had sent him back to Lone Desert City eight hundred years ago and made him return to his eight-year-old body.    

What was he trying to do by putting in so much effort?    

How difficult was this trial?    

Very quickly, the ethereal voice of the Temple of Time replied to Shen Jun's doubts.    

"Trial 1: In three days, take Xie Qi Lan as your disciple."    

What?    

The moment Shen Jun heard the contents of the trial, he almost stumbled into the snow.    

This... This Temple of Time must have something to do with the system, right?    

Otherwise, why would it give him such a similar mission!    

However, the system back then was still quite considerate. The time limit was 30 days, not three days.    

However, Xie Qi Lan had been very obedient to Shen Jun back then, so she was not willing to lie down.    

Back then, Shen Jun had spent a lot of effort to take her in as his disciple.    

Shen Jun was so anxious that he almost jumped into the river on the last day of the 30-day time limit. Xie Qi Lan had to kowtow three times and sincerely acknowledge Shen Jun as her master.    

Back then, Xie Qi Lan had wandered the outside world when she was just able to remember. She had seen all the vicious people in the world and experienced all the hardships in the world.    

After countless times of escaping death, she had gained an ice-cold shell.    

Even now, other than Shen Jun and his junior brothers and sisters, she had never truly trusted any outsiders.    

To take in Xie Qi Lan as her disciple back then was no different from transforming a tiger into an orange cat in three days.    

"What if I fail the trial?" Shen Jun asked in his heart.    

"Then I will never be able to come back," the ethereal voice replied indifferently.    

It was really cruel.    

Shen Jun sighed and took the first step.    

With his cute appearance of eight years old, he first inquired about some information from a few vendors.    

The first was the issue of the timeline.    

According to his own experience, he should have received the mission from the system half a year later and found Xie Qilan and took her as his disciple.    

Before taking Xie Qilan as his disciple, he did not have any cultivation at all.    

It was not that Shen Jun was lazy and did not want to cultivate.    

It was that he really had no way to cultivate!    

If his aptitude was poor, then at most, his meridians would be slightly clogged.    

Shen Jun's entire meridians were full of stuff.    

Not even a bit of spiritual energy could enter.    

Only after taking Xie Qilan as his disciple did the system reward him with some meridians to open up. Only then did he officially embark on the path of cultivation.    

Walking on the streets of Lonely Swan City, Shen Jun was very confused.    

The trial of the Temple of Time only gave him three days.    

If his cultivation was still there, then these three days would definitely be more than enough.    

But the current him was just an eight-year-old child!    

Lonely Swan City was so big. He was just an eight-year-old child. Just walking around the city would take a full day.    

It would have taken him three days to find this girl, not to mention taking her in as a disciple.    

As he strolled aimlessly, Shen Jun began to recall all the things about Xie Qi Lan.    

Where did he meet this girl back then?    

He remembered where, but that was half a year ago. It would be useless to find that place now.    

Did Xie Qi Lan tell him any clues?    

Shen Jun's eyebrows were about to twist into a knot. After recalling for a long time, he still couldn't think of anything.    

Damn it!    

He had been afraid that talking about this would reopen the scar on her face, so he had deliberately avoided the topic.    

If he had known that this would happen, he would have at least asked her indirectly.    

Wait a minute!    

Shen Jun, who was cursing in his heart, suddenly thought of a scene.    

When the Time Shrine had stimulated him, it had shown him a scene.    

It was when Xie Qi Lan was on the street covered in snow and was being beaten by a group of children.    

Xie Qi Lan was definitely in Lone Desert City.    

The scene was covered in snow, and it was snowing now.    

Could it be...    

Shen Jun couldn't care less about the bone-piercing snow. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to carefully recall the details of the scene.    

He remembered that it was at the intersection of a crossroad. The road was slightly wider, enough for two or three carriages to pass side by side.    

Other than that, there were no other obvious characteristics.    

There were four such places in the entire Lonely Swan City.    

Search them one by one!    

Shen Jun immediately got up and rushed towards the nearest crossroad.    

It was indeed a bit vulgar to save a beauty with a hero.    

But Qi Lan was only six years old. A girl at this age should still be used to this kind of thing, right?    

He should leave a good impression on her the first time they met. It would be much more convenient to ask her to accept him as a disciple later.    

In just ten minutes, Shen Jun ran to the first location while gasping for breath.    

However, he didn't see Xie Qi Lan.    

Shen Jun, who was already half dead from exhaustion, didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately rushed to the next location.    

In his anxiety, Shen Jun had completely forgotten one thing.    

He was no longer that False Immortal expert.    

His eight-year-old body had not even fully grown hair.    

The seven or eight brats who bullied Xie Qi Lan were all around fifteen or sixteen years old.    

Their arms were thicker than his thighs.    

Even if he really could find Xie Qi Lan who was being bullied, would it be so easy to save her with a hero?    

Hard work paid off.    

After running for ten miles and searching through three crossroads, he still didn't find anything.    

At the fourth, which was also the last intersection.    

Shen Jun, who was half dead from exhaustion, finally saw that familiar face.
