Unknowingly, Wang Lu had been in the Spirit Sword Mountain for two years. During this period of time, his life seemed ordinary, but the path of an Immortal was different from that of a mortal. This so-called ordinary life was something that he had not experienced in the past twelve years.
Too many new things poured into his mind, so much so that Wang Lu's memory, which he had always been proud of, could not hold too much of the past. His leisurely life in the Wang Family Village was only left with a few iconic symbols … Even the Immortal Gathering, which he relied on to become famous, had gradually faded.
However, when he thought about the box of handicrafts that he bought two years ago in the Spirit Creek Town for three thousand five hundred taels of silver, it still remained in his mind, like a bouquet of brilliant flowers — just like the bright and beautiful smile of the girl in front of him, which would never fade.
"Hey, Lady Boss, good afternoon."
Wang Lu casually greeted her, and his face was brimming with a very warm smile.
Speaking of this Lady Boss, she was an extraordinary person in the mountain, and her identity was not trivial. Specifically, there were three points.
First, entering and exiting the Spirit Sword Mountain was like entering and exiting her own backyard. Speaking of which, there were hundreds of townspeople in the Spirit Creek Town, but so far, Wang Lu only met the Lady Boss who could pass through the mountain gate and enter the Spirit Sword Mountain. Two years ago, the Lady Boss joked that she would meet Wang Lu again on the mountain, and now, they often met each other on the mountain, which was not a lie!
Second, the Lady Boss was very popular on the mountain, and most of the disciples were familiar with her. Even the Elders would smile when they saw her … The most incredible thing was that his own Master, the Fifth Elder, even affectionately called her little Ling 'Er, and claimed that they had a deep sisterly relationship!
However, when he asked about the Lady Boss's identity in detail, everyone was vague. The Elders obviously knew the truth, but they did not say it. The disciples' answer perfectly highlighted the Lingjian School's upright and outspoken spirit. "I see that the Elders are very polite to her, so how could we, the younger generation, dare to act rashly?"
Third, and also the most crucial point, the Firmament Cloud Ancient Coin, which Wang Lu used to turn the tables in the Immortal Gathering two years ago, was personally given to him by the Lady Boss! After entering the mountain, Wang Lu was very clear about the value of the ancient coin. According to common sense, unless the lady boss was the illegitimate daughter of the Sect Leader, there was no other way to explain the origin of the ancient coin. But looking at it, there were two points that didn't make sense. First, the dignified daughter of the Sect Leader ran to the Spirit Creek Town to run an inn? The son of an official was really too curious. Moreover, after knowing her for two years, Wang Lu could tell that the Lady Boss did not have the slightest bit of cultivation in the Immortal Dao. She was completely an ordinary person, completely different from the Sect Master with the Astral Spiritual Root. Secondly … her Master, the Fifth Elder, addressed her as a sister. If the Lady Boss was the illegitimate daughter of the Sect Leader, wouldn't the Fifth Elder be lowering her seniority? Based on Wang Lu's understanding of his master, that was absolutely impossible.
Thus, the Lady Boss became a peerless genius with an unfathomable origin. Fortunately, although her origin was strange, she was a good person. In his two years of dull Immortal Cultivation life, this Lady Boss from the Spirit Creek Town was a rare wonderful embellishment. Every three to five days, she would go up the mountain alone, carrying a box full of farm food, to improve the food for Wang Lu, who had been tortured by the Starry Sky Chef.
Therefore, when he saw the Lady Boss, Wang Lu's sadness about his lunch disappeared. He quickly walked to the tree, looked at the food box in the girl's hand, and let out a lascivious smile.
The girl sighed. "Your smile can easily cause a scandal."
Although she said that, she still invited Wang Lu to sit under the tree and opened the food box. Just like two years ago, it was just some ordinary farm food.
In the Spirit Sword Mountain, a place full of immortal vegetables and spirit meat, any kind of unimaginable food could be tasted — of course, it was in the cafeteria of the Carefree Peak, or in the private kitchen of some Elders. However, at this time, Wang Lu really felt that the Lady Boss's farm food was invincible.
"Come on, no matter how much you praise me, I can't come up with any new tricks, let alone free your meal … Today, I came to find you because …"
Without waiting for the other party to finish, Wang Lu has consciously fished out a few bunches of spirit grass from his pocket and handed them over.
The Lady Boss revealed a smile. "Okay, in two days, I'll come to you after I've exchanged the money … Speaking of which, you're really willing to do it, the middle-rank spirit grass on the Non-Phase Peak has almost been squandered by you."
Wang Lu snappily said, "My scoundrel Master has been with me for two years, but she didn't even give me a penny of pocket money. Even the Sect's subsidy for the Successor Disciple has been deducted by me. So, I can only rely on myself, right? Moreover, if I don't waste these spirit grass, should I leave them for that idiot? The natural scenery of the Non-Phase Peak has almost been wasted by her! In any case, when she dies, this Non-Phase Peak will be in my pocket, so it's only natural that I get a little inheritance in advance. "
"… You and your Master really have a deep master-disciple relationship." The Lady Boss, while gnawing on a pig's trotter, sincerely sighed with emotion.
Wang Lu also said, "Ai, fortunately, the Lady Boss is also in the business of selling stolen goods, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sell so many treasures that I dug up on the Non-Phase Peak."
The Lady Boss chuckled. "Nonsense, Lingjian School is, after all, one of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League, how could there be a circulation of gold and silver within the school? It's all spirit stones and sect's points. "
Wang Lu said, "The problem is, for a Body Refining Stage rookie, even if you give me top-grade spirit stones, it's still useless. It's better to get some silver and go down the mountain to buy some mortal tools …"
The Lady Boss dropped the bone that she had chewed and casually asked, "Speaking of this, how is your recent practice?"
Wang Lu immediately asked, "May I ask the Lady Boss, how is your recent business in the inn?"
"… The two of us are really in the same boat." The Lady Boss sighed. "Two years ago, I was still a business elite with a daily income, no, a daily income of ten million taels of silver. Unexpectedly, my inn is now deserted, a plummet!"
Nonsense, two years ago, it was a rare gathering of idiots. You used a hundred pots of boiled radishes to catch all the idiots in one fell swoop to earn ten million a day. Are you planning to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs to catch the fish?
"Speaking of which, do you still keep in touch with your gay friend?"
Wang Lu really wanted to spit out the rice in his mouth on the Lady Boss's face. "How could I have a gay friend? Don't casually smear other people's innocence. I and little Hai are just pen pals! That grandson abandoned me and ran to the Ten Thousand Arts Sect to become a genius cultivator. A year ago, he was able to draw spiritual energy into his body. Yesterday, he just wrote a letter saying that he has broken through to the Seventh Level Cultivation Stage. His flaunting face is exceptionally hateful! "
The Lady Boss nodded in agreement. "Reaching the Seventh Level Qi Cultivating Stage in two years, the Ten Thousand Arts Sect is really a family of spirit root hunters, specializing in all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous spirit root. The potential of Hai Yunfan's soft wind and weak water spirit root has been excavated to the limit. In contrast, our several inner court disciples are far behind. Even Zhu Qin, who has the fastest progress, has just drawn spiritual energy into his body, yet he also has a third rank spirit root. Sure enough, it's the system problem! Lingjian School is indeed worthy to be the disgrace of the Five Uniques. It highly reflects the current situation of the Sect Leader's fatuous and incompetent, and his private life is rotten. "
Wang Lu was amazed by the Lady Boss. "Your tone of saying that it's all the system problem seems familiar."
The Lady Boss pursed her lips. "However, in any case, compared to your Void Spirit Root that can only run for two years, they can still be considered to have worked hard …"
"Damn, I, your father, am a top student, please show some respect."
However, even Wang Lu himself said this in a weak tone.
In the Immortal Cultivation Sect, no matter how much emphasis was placed on quality education, the foundation was still the immortal cultivation. However, the progress of Wang Lu's immortal cultivation was simply appalling.
Now, let's talk about it in detail.
According to Wang Lu's initial expectation, as a successor disciple of one of the Five Great Sects, it was reasonable to say that every meal should have heavenly treasures. After the meal, a senior Elder would open up his meridians and transfer his power to him. Then, he would flip through the top secret books and cultivate the first rank or even the transcendent rank ancient immortal method. After that, he would spend three years in Qi Cultivating Stage, three years in Foundation Establishment, and three years in Xudan … After ten years, he would become the Daoist Master of King Pill. However, in fact, that was just a daydream.
First of all, the first step was completely wrong. In the first two years of Lingjian School, there was nothing but basic skill. As a well-known ancient sect in the Immortal Cultivation World, Lingjian School's basic skill requirement for its disciples was extremely strict. In general, the cultivators of the Immortal Cultivation Sect would directly start from the Qi Cultivating Stage, drawing the spiritual energy into the body, circulating it through the meridians … until the Qi Cultivating Stage was completed, and then they would try to build the Foundation Establishment. However, in Lingjian School, there was an additional Body Refining Stage before the Qi Cultivating Stage. As the name suggested, it was to temper the body. The new cultivators had to refine their body to the level of a Xiantian Master before they could start to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and officially cultivate. The reason was also very simple — to lay a solid foundation.
This step was not considered rare among the ancient sects. For example, Kunlun Celestial Mountain and some sects with deep foundations all did this. In any case, it did not take long. In the mortal world, even the top martial arts sects needed ten years to train a disciple with first-class aptitude to become a Xiantian Master. However, the Immortal Cultivation Sects were naturally much faster. The Five Uniques of the Wanxian League were even faster. The black and white disciples of the Misty Peak could usually complete it in two to three years.
As the successor disciple of Lingjian School, Wang Lu's cultivation speed should be faster than the black and white disciples. However, after two years, other than his super strong endurance, Wang Lu did not seem to have changed much. He could not use his fists and feet to crack stones, nor could he walk on snow without leaving a trace, or cross a river on a reed.
This was also nonsense. Whose martial arts hero was a long-distance runner? At least, he had to do one hundred push-ups and sit-ups, and after three years, he could become a one-punch superman, right? However, this was the nonsense part. The other black, white, blue and white disciples could at least receive the teaching from the senior disciples of the sect. Occasionally, the Elders would come to teach them a public lesson. What Subduing Demon Arhat Fist, Eight Desolation Six Directions Method … The martial arts that the mortal world yearned for were as common as potatoes and cabbages in the Spirit Sword Mountain.
However, Wang Lu could not do it. As a successor disciple, in addition to the cultural class, the rest of the cultivation was completely taken care of by his Master, the Fifth Elder! And it was impossible for the Fifth Elder to diligently teach and actively educate people.
In the past two years, Wang Lu had witnessed with his own eyes that the black and white disciples of the same age had gradually evolved from the youth A, B and C to the youth Fang Shiyu. Some time ago, the one with the fastest progress, Zhu Qin, had even mastered the eighty-eight Subduing Dragon Palms, and his fighting strength was even better than the average Xiantian Master! As for Wang Lu himself, his best achievement was relying on his unparalleled endurance and mountainous running ability to paralyze a wild monkey on the Non-Phase Peak...
Whether this gap was because his Master, the Fifth Elder, was too stupid, or because his Master, the Fifth Elder, was too stupid, in short, the current situation was that, among the disciples who entered the Spirit Sword Mountain in the year 6343 of the Nine Regions Calendar, Wang Lu had become the most exotic existence. His status was the highest, but his cultivation was the lowest. Moreover, he was a top student. Under the influence of envy, jealousy, hatred, and many other reasons, it was inevitable that he would bump into each other. The small group headed by Zhu Qin ridiculed Wang Lu as a waste of Immortal Cultivation, while Wang Lu unceremoniously criticized them for their lack of brain capacity, saying that in the future, they were only fit to be human cauldrons or slaves … In short, they were just shooting their mouths at each other. Of course, when it came to shooting their mouths at each other, Wang Lu's record was far ahead, but he really didn't think it was fun.
"By the way, did Zhu Qin come looking for trouble with you recently?"
"Last time, he was showered with dog blood by me. Before the shadow in his heart disappears, he shouldn't come looking for abuse, right?" Wang Lu held his chopsticks and looked up at the sky, recalling the spectacular scene not long ago, when he spat out a lotus flower with his tongue, causing Zhu Qin and his numerous henchmen to vomit blood and faint.
The Lady Boss put down her bowl and said, "It's really funny. They clearly know that the result of provoking an inner court disciple is to be badly beaten, so why bother? Just based on the difference in the color of the robe, no matter how fast their cultivation progress is, it's meaningless. In case they provoke you and report it to the Disciplinary Elder, they will suffer a big loss. "
Wang Lu shook his head and said, "It's not a deep hatred, it's just that they can't stand each other and shoot their mouths at each other. However … every time we win by shooting our mouths, it will make us look incompetent, not to mention snitching. Our reputation will be ruined in the long run, and if we get trampled on in the future, we can only blame it on our bad luck. After all, the Immortal Path still depends on one's cultivation. No matter how good we are at cursing, we can't withstand being struck by lightning. "
The Lady Boss was slightly surprised and said, "You're quite understanding, I thought you felt invincible after obtaining the identity of a True Disciple."
"… That also depends on whose True Disciple it is, right? If it's the Sect Leader's True Disciple, then it's fine, but with such a Master, to be honest, I'm very worried that I'll be implicated by her in the future … To be honest, right now I feel that Martial Uncle Liu Xian's attitude towards me has been somewhat discounted. "
The Lady Boss nodded and said, "En, Liu Xian and Fang He hate your Master the most, it's inevitable that they hate the house and its crow."
"Damn, aren't those two the two Elders with the most real power in the sect, apart from the Sect Leader? My beloved Master, you're really too awesome to be able to blacken those two for a lifetime. "
After exclaiming in admiration, Wang Lu clicked his tongue and said, "These days, it's really not easy."
When the Lady Boss heard this, she was also somewhat worried about Wang Lu's future. When they first met two years ago, the young man was in high spirits, and she, who was used to seeing the so-called young talents of the Immortal Cultivation World, was also attracted to him. However, after two years, Wang Lu's fate was really bleak …
"Ai, how about this, you learn martial arts with me."
"Learn martial arts?" Wang Lu also put down his bowl and frowned, "What do you mean?"
The Lady Boss patiently explained, "In any case, you're currently in the Body Refining Stage and haven't officially stepped into the Immortal Cultivation World. If you learn martial arts from the mortal world with me, not only will it strengthen your physique, but it will also speed up your cultivation in the Body Refining Stage, and it will also give you a few more life-saving skills. In the future, when Zhu Qin and his gang come looking for trouble, you will be able to fight back fair and square. Don't look at Zhu Qin's Qi Gathering Stage, if he meets a truly brilliant Martial Arts Master, beating him is like stepping on an ant!"
With regards to the Lady Boss's bold words, Wang Lu did not doubt her words at all. In the past, this young girl disguised herself in black and fought with her bare fists. Her peerless heroism was still unforgettable to Wang Lu! After knowing each other for two years, although they had tacitly avoided some sensitive topics, there was no doubt that the Lady Boss had unique skills.
However, Wang Lu was slightly hesitant, "This, will it interfere with other aspects of cultivation?"
The Lady Boss patted her chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, there will be no problem. The martial arts I teach you absolutely do not have any side effects. You can rest assured and boldly practice it. When you become a peerless master, you can step on Zhu Qin! If you can really step on him, it will be Non-Phase Peak's victory over Misty Peak. It can also be considered as making your Master proud. "
"Damn, I practice peerless martial arts just to step on dog shit to make my Master proud? But … in any case, I have nothing to do. Lady Boss, oh no, Master, please accept this disciple's worship! "
Wang Lu said. With a serious expression, he inserted a pair of chopsticks into his bowl and kowtowed!
"Damn! Don't burn incense for me! "
