She, Ji Ruyan, would be the master's last disciple, for the Blazing Flame Space had acknowledged her as its master, and she was not permitted to pass on her Medical Skills to anyone.
What was wrong with that?
She was by no means a pushover; why would she take on disciples?
Thus, she raised her left hand and swore, "I, Ji Ruyan, hereby swear to heaven and earth that from this day on, I shall not accept any disciples. Should I break this oath, may my body's meridians shatter and lead to my death, my soul scattered never to reincarnate!"
Her oath surprised the strange old man, "Foolish child, how can you make such a severe oath? Never to reincarnate... that..."
"Master above, please accept your disciple's bow!"
Ignoring his advice, Ji Ruyan knelt with a thump before him and began to kowtow obediently.
