The highly anticipated Immortal Gathering of Lingjian School came to an end under the astonishment and disappointment of countless people.
The Immortal Gathering lasted for more than a month, which fully demonstrated the demeanor of the top five sects of the Wanxian League. More than a thousand elite youths from all over the Nine Regions were eliminated at the Golden Bridge. Except for those who were not determined enough and stopped at the Carefree Peak, the rest of the elite youths had to go through several tests on the Immortal Path. Finally, only three of them stood out and joined the Inner Court.
These three people's innate talent could not be considered excellent. Among them, Wen Bao surprisingly showed a second rank Earthly Spirit Root, while the rest were only third rank … However, after the Age of Chaos, natural spirit roots were scarce in the Immortal Cultivation World. Let alone first rank Heavenly Spirit Root, second rank and third rank were already extremely rare, so there was nothing to be picky about.
In addition to these three people, Hai Yunfan received a personal letter of recommendation from the Second Elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, and thus went to the Eastern border of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect. The rest of the more than ten participants who persisted until the last trial also had their own lucky chance — not long after they came down from the Spirit Sword Mountain, they were stopped by a large group of cultivators. All of them were Elders and elites from various major Immortal Cultivation Sects. Most of them were between fourth and fifth rank, and there were even two from second rank sects.
These people naturally came to pick up the leftovers. In the eyes of Lingjian School, these failed youths were still lacking in maturity. However, even the other four top sects saw this action of Lingjian School as a reckless waste of God's gift. These years, cultivators with natural talent were really rare. For the lower ranked sects, any one of these failed youths could be the hope of their sect.
For these failed youths, even if they couldn't be the tail of a phoenix, being the head of a chicken was not bad. In Lingjian School, they could at most become an Inner Court Disciple, but in other sects, they could become the Successor Disciple.
In addition to these people, the one who had the most lucky chance was Wang Lu.
After using the Firmament Cloud Ancient Coin, Wang Lu was able to enter Lingjian School as he wished. Moreover, his identity was impressively a Successor Disciple, which was much higher than an ordinary Inner Court Disciple.
However, there was a problem. His Master seemed to be a retard.
—
It wasn't the first time he met the Fifth Elder of Lingjian School.
The last time they met was at the end of the Path of Immortal Ascension. Wang Lu had pierced through the Icewind Valley with his sword. Then, this Elder had flown all the way to Wang Lu while crying.
At that time, Wang Lu didn't know that the white-robed woman in front of him was an elder of the Heavenly Sword Hall, nor did he know that he would form an indissoluble bond with her in the future. If one had to talk about feelings, the only feeling he had was that this fellow's brain had some kind of disease.
However, the Firmament Ancient Coin made him a true disciple, but he also had a retarded master. This fully reflected the truth of the Immortal Cultivation World.
After the Grand Immortal Ascension Ceremony ended, Wen Bao and the others were led away by a few black and white disciples to the area where the other inner sect disciples of the Misty Peak resided. Wang Lu, on the other hand, was thrown out of the hall like a wild dog. He spent the entire afternoon under a tree in the shade. Only when dusk fell did a woman in white walk up to him.
"Um … Hello?"
The woman in white had never considered accepting a disciple — the sect also didn't allow her to think about it, so she didn't know how to greet her own disciple. She looked at Wang Lu awkwardly. Seeing the latter's cold expression, she scratched her head awkwardly. "According to the Sect Leader, from now on, I am your master. However, this is my first time accepting a disciple, so please be gentle … Oh no, in short, let's make do with each other. "
Wang Lu stared at the Fifth Elder in front of him and began to guess in his heart, "Could it be that the Lingjian School deliberately sent a retard to mess with me?"
Of course, the Fifth Elder didn't deliberately come to mess with him. On the contrary, she came to be a legendary teacher, and vowed to bring Wang Lu to heaven … Oh no, to heaven!
The shortcomings of the Fifth Elder could be said to be too numerous to list, but she was very serious about her promise. Since she had promised the Sect Leader that she would personally train this child of destiny, then even if she had to abstain from alcohol and sex, she would still train Wang Lu, this child, into a talented person — even if Wang Lu didn't have the aptitude to cultivate.
With such determination, the Fifth Elder found Wang Lu and put on a gentle face that was enough to make her fellow disciples' hair stand on end. If, at this time, Wang Lu knew the water curtain recording spell and recorded this scene, he would probably be able to sell it for tens of thousands of spirit stones in the sect.
Unfortunately, at this time, Wang Lu didn't know how to cherish it. He just silently looked at his master, letting the awkward atmosphere spread.
The Fifth Elder sneered in her heart, but her face was still kind.
"Forget it, don't stand here like an idiot …"
While speaking, she untied the bamboo sword on her waist. The emerald green sword turned into a flat light, carrying the woman.
"Let's go to my Non-Phase Peak, I have already arranged a residence for you. From now on … you will follow me to cultivate."
With that, the woman stretched out her hand.
Wang Lu sighed and raised his own question.
"Cultivate? Cultivate what? With my spirit root attribute, can I really cultivate? "
Although his identity as a Successor Disciple was already set in stone, the change of identity could not change his spirit root attribute. In today's Immortal Cultivation World, the Void Spirit Root was almost equal to a waste spirit root … A professional adventurer could not ignore the reality and dream about his own big dream.
Therefore, even if Wang Lu could use the Firmament Cloud Ancient Coin to exchange for a miracle, in front of him, it was still a road leading to a bottomless abyss of death. When the crowd dispersed and those familiar and unfamiliar faces found their respective homes, Wang Lu's heart gradually cooled down and once again faced this unsolvable problem.
If one were to say that he was disheartened, it was indeed a little … He still remembered that when he was three years old, he had read about the spiritual roots of cultivation in an ancient book for the first time. The book had written that there was a kind of person in this world who could naturally sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. To others, this mysterious and unfathomable spiritual energy was clearly reflected in their eyes. For them, cultivation was as natural as breathing.
That was the possessor of the Heavenly Spirit Root. After the last Age of Chaos, the Immortal Cultivation World was almost extinct.
And it just so happened that Wang Lu could always sense the so-called Heavenly Spirit Root. Moreover, the sense was even clearer than what was written in the book … He once thought that this was a blessing brought by the comet, but now, it seemed that if the comet was deliberately created by someone, then it must be full of malice.
It gave him an unprecedented spirit root, but it made him born in this kind of era. It was as if he had arranged for a fairy-like, gentle, virtuous, and well-off fiancée for himself, but he had also arranged for a homosexual identity for himself …
There was nothing more tragic than this in the world, and the only thing he could do was to struggle for the Firmament Cloud Ancient Coin. Cultivation? With this spirit root, what could he cultivate? An expert mascot tutorial?
"Oh? It's rare to see an arrogant person like you show such a weak face. "
Wang Lu immediately became hostile, "What the hell, you crazy girl, what are you saying to a twelve year old boy?"
"Hmph, I'm cheering you on." The girl in white smiled, as if she didn't hear the comment of the crazy girl.
"You don't have to worry about cultivation at all. Since that idiot Sect Leader entrusted you to me … No matter what, I will let you embark on the path of cultivation. A mere Void Spirit Root is not a problem for me."
Although the girl in white made Wang Lu think that she had a brain disease, but at this time, after listening to her comfort, Wang Lu's mood was a bit better.
"Oh, well, I hope so. I am Wang Lu, from now on, I will cultivate with you. "
Then, Wang Lu firmly held the hand of the girl in white.
The girl in white smiled sweetly, "I am Wang Wu, from now on, I am your master."
—
A bamboo sword turned into a green light, carrying the master and disciple to Non-Phase Peak.
The speed of the flying sword was not fast, so the master had enough time to briefly introduce some things to the disciple.
The girl in white stood on the flying sword, stretched out her hand, and said, "The Spirit Sword Mountain that our Lingjian School occupies is the place where the spiritual energy in the Blue River Region converges. From the outside, the Spirit Sword Mountain looks like a straight sword, isolated, but the inside is divided into twelve peaks. Each peak is a paradise that cultivators yearn for, especially the Stellar Peak, Brilliant Peak, and Misty Peak, which are the highest, followed by the Non-Phase Peak. However, at present, there are only two of us in the Non-Phase Peak, so it doesn't matter if the spiritual energy is a bit poor, it's enough for you."
Hearing this, Wang Lu's heart thumped. Whether the spiritual energy is rich or not, let's not talk about it … there are only two people in the Non-Phase Peak? In other words, before this Immortal Gathering, this girl lived alone? Even if the Lingjian School had always been famous for its withered population, wasn't her popularity a bit too bad?
However … in any case, having a bigger per capita housing area was not a bad thing. Moreover, Wang Lu didn't think that he would like to have a lot of people. One of the important reasons why he chose to participate in the Immortal Gathering of the Lingjian School was that, among the top five sects, the Lingjian School had the least number of people.
The Fifth Elder's flying sword was not fast, but before long, it passed the Misty Peak and entered the boundary of the Non-Phase Peak.
At first glance, it was a surprise.
People often said that the Immortal Cultivation World's paradise was too beautiful to behold. From the Golden Bridge at the foot of the mountain, along the Immortal Path, Wang Lu also appreciated the scenery of the Carefree Peak and the Misty Peak. The green trees were like a carpet, and the clouds and mist were luxuriant. It was indeed like a paradise on earth. Originally, he thought that the Non-Phase Peak would be more tranquil and natural with only one person, but unexpectedly, what greeted his eyes was actually a dilapidated scene!
What Wang Lu saw was a mottled, messy, and bare mountain. The green vegetation that should have covered the surface seemed to have been fiercely gnawed by some Taotie evil beast, revealing ugly yellow-brown scars. Compared with the other peaks around the Non-Phase Peak, it looked like a desecrated corpse.
Wang Lu looked at it for a long time, trying to figure out the meaning of this scene … Was this another way to verify the truth that the Immortal Path was impermanent? Or …
"Oh, you mean the vegetation on the mountain? A few years ago, I had a headache because of the debt, so I chopped down the spirit plants on the mountain and sold them. Because the wholesale price was cut too much, it made people feel bored. When I came back, I was too lazy to spend money to buy seeds to cultivate new ones. As a result, it became like this … But it doesn't matter, in any case, it's a place where spiritual energy converges. After three or five hundred years, it will naturally recover. No need to worry, no need to worry. "
No need to worry your sister, so this dog gnawing on the peak is your doing!? As a peak master, you actually destroyed your own wall!? This is basically the behavior of urinating and defecating in your own home, no wonder no one wants to accompany you. A dignified elder has been reduced to a leftover woman!
The Fifth Elder suddenly sneezed, "Wang Lu, are you scolding me?"
"No, your way of doing things is so hateful, obviously, someone else is scolding you."
"Mm, your analysis is also very reasonable …"
Following the tragic mountain path, the two of them soon saw a piece of flat land between the valleys. A simple and unadorned hut stood alone in the middle of the mountains. Rather than calling it a residence, it was more like a prison cell.
"Well, this is my home … Well, now it's also your home. Later on, you will live here with me. The conditions are relatively simple, but immortal cultivators don't care so much."
The Fifth Elder's reason was high-sounding, but after experiencing the dog gnawing on the mountain, how could Wang Lu guess that even if this was originally a luxurious small town, it would still be wasted by this woman.
Fortunately, although the remaining hut was simple and crude, at least it could be separated into several separate bedrooms, so that a dignified Successor Disciple would not have to sleep in the woodshed. After settling Wang Lu in the bedroom, the Fifth Elder thought for a moment, "Why don't you introduce yourself first?"
There was nothing much to say about Wang Lu's resume. He was just the son of a rich farmer from a mountain village in the Great Ming Country. Apart from having a special spirit root and a strange way of thinking, compared to those who were born in rich families and experienced a lot at a young age, he was not worth mentioning.
As for the Fifth Elder herself, she seemed unwilling to talk about it.
"You already know my name. At present, there are ten Elders in the Heavenly Sword Hall of the Lingjian School, and I am ranked fifth, which can barely be considered as neither high nor low … What I cultivate is my self-created Non-Phase Method, which is also the name of the peak that I am in charge of. "
Upon hearing about self-created Heart Sutra, Wang Lu could not help but feel puzzled. Although he didn't know much about the Immortal Cultivation World of the Nine Regions, only a few thousand words from the ancient book that he read when he was a child — and most of them were outdated. However, he had always heard the story of flying immortal flying sword told by some storytellers. This Immortal Cultivation World had always been more powerful the older it was. Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, each and every cultivator in the Nine Regions had an incredible magical ability that could move mountains and fill the seas. In contrast, in today's famous Wanxian League, perhaps there were only a few dozen great cultivators who could move mountains and fill the seas.
As one of the top five sects, the Lingjian School's history was not that long, but the founder of the school obtained the inheritance of an ancient great cultivator. Moreover, after thousands of years of accumulation, how could this dignified Fifth Elder cultivate a self-created Heart Sutra? Was she looking for novelty?
"Uh, Master, your disciple has a question. What is your cultivation level? Roughly what is it?"
His Master very generously smiled and said, "Daoist Master King Pill! Are you scared? "
"…"
Wang Lu was indeed scared. How could there be a Spirit Sword Sect Elder with such a low cultivation level!?
Even though he didn't know much about the Immortal Cultivation World, after being with Hai Yunfan for so long, he was imperceptibly influenced by him, so he still remembered some common sense.
Today's Immortal Cultivation World was not like the time before the Age of Chaos when there were as many Yuanying Stage cultivators as dogs. In the entire Nine Regions, the number of Deity Stage and above (not including) experts could be counted. Yuanying Stage cultivators could be called old monsters … but that was only limited to those remote places. No matter how weak the Immortal Cultivation World was, there were still experts.
At present, it was known that the one with the highest cultivation level was the Sect Leader of Shengjing Sect, Hetu Daoren, who was already at the peak Unity Stage, one step into the Mahayana Stage, and his immortal tribulation was just around the corner. Among the top five sects, the leaders of Ten Thousand Arts Sect, Kunlun Immortal Sect, and Royal Soldier Sect were also at the Unity Stage. Only the Lingjian School's Feng Yin Daoist Master had a slightly lower cultivation level, but in any case, he was still a Deity Stage expert.
The Sect Leader had a Deity Stage cultivation level, so even if the strength of the other Elders was one level lower, they should still be at the peak Yuanying Stage. This Fifth Elder was in the middle of the Elders … This King Pill's cultivation level was really eye-catching. Could it be that during menstruation, his strength was halved?
"Then … Master, what is the cultivation level of the other Elders?"
Facing Wang Lu's suspicious eyes, the Fifth Elder was completely unaware of it. "Yuanying Stage. Except for that old fool Sect Leader, there's no other Deity Stage, really shameful."
You, a King Pill cultivator, have the nerve to say this!?
