"Still thinking of running?" Lu Sheng carried Chen Yunxi to the door of the inner chamber. Wisps of invisible aura floated out of his body, and the loose black robe hanging on the side floated up and covered the two of them.
Although he could use his real body's armor as a cover, Chen Yunxi couldn't. The black robe was more to cover her body.
"… No … No more running …" Chen Yunxi used all her strength to slowly squeeze out these words. She was practically crying as she spoke.
The feeling of dying earlier was something she had never experienced before, and something she had always longed for. But that feeling was too strong … to the point that she was almost addicted to it, to the point of breaking down, and sinking into that magical joy.
Even now, she could still feel her body convulsing, and the slightest touch on her skin made her feel as if she had been electrocuted.
Hearing Chen Yunxi's timid reply, Lu Sheng laughed loudly and pushed the door open. Carrying her, he walked towards Chen Yunxi's courtyard.
News of Chen Yunxi's favor quickly spread throughout the entire Lu Family. After Lu Sheng sent Chen Yunxi back to her own courtyard, all sorts of people in the Lu Manor, including Lu Quanan, came to visit her.
For the next month, Lu Sheng stayed at home with his family. During this time, Chen Yunxi basically couldn't get out of bed. Even when she ate, she had to rely on her maidservants to feed her.
Soon, a doctor specially invited by Lu Sheng diagnosed the pulse of pregnancy from her body.
The Lu Manor was overjoyed, and the Prime Devil Sect also celebrated for several days. When Lu Sheng received the confirmation, he did some research himself, and finally confirmed that Chen Yunxi was indeed pregnant. He was also overjoyed, and bestowed many precious medicines specifically for nourishing the body. He also hung a Divine Weapon he had plundered in Chen Yunxi's room.
This Divine Weapon was specially used to nourish Chen Yunxi's body, and it was very obedient.
Now, Lu Sheng still had three Divine Weapons left in his hands, and they were all very obedient. Because the disobedient ones had already been destroyed by Lu Sheng, and stuffed into his stomach.
This divine weapon itself had the ability to control blood, which was extremely helpful in nourishing one's Qi and blood.
After dealing with Chen Yunxi, Lu Sheng headed to the World of Pain and completed a Divine Weapon retrieval quest that Shizi Xing had ordered him to do. He ate an additional Golden Leaf Divine Weapon that he had snatched. As soon as he returned, he received a request for an audience from one of the Three Great Clans, the Mu Clan.
…
Prime Devil Sect's conference hall.
The headquarters of the Prime Devil Sect was built outside of Autumn Moon County. It was a huge, pitch-black palace comparable to the Thousand Sun Sect's Dao Palace. The entire palace was divided into two parts. The upper palace was on the surface, and the lower palace was underground.
With several Demon King-level powerhouses around, it didn't take much effort to build this palace.
At this moment, Lu Sheng was in the Prime Devil Sect's Upper Palace, receiving the representatives of the Mu Family who had come from the Four Lives Province.
"Mu Qingye of the Mu Family, together with niece Mu Jueqing and nephew Mu Quening, greets Sectmaster Lu."
In the small hall, Lu Sheng sat in the main seat. On both sides were stone sculptures of ferocious black dragons. Dark-red wall lamps hung on the surrounding walls, making the Prime Devil Sect seem even more eerie and terrifying.
This was also a necessary condition. Lu Sheng planned to move the entire Prime Devil Sect here in the future. After all, half of the Prime Devil Sect belonged to ghosts, and ghosts didn't like too bright an environment. So this conference hall was actually built for the members of the ghost sect.
He sat in the main seat and looked down the stairs. What he saw was the little girl from the Mu Family, Mu Jueqing, whom he met when he was chasing after Xu Qi. Behind her was her cousin, Mu Quening.
Mu Quening's face was swollen, and his aura was extremely unstable. Clearly, he had many internal injuries from being beaten up.
"What's going on?" Lu Sheng asked, confused. He was now the sect master of the Prime Devil Sect. Although he didn't handle daily affairs, he wasn't someone ordinary people could meet. If it weren't for the fact that they were from the Mu Family, he wouldn't have met them in the first place.
Mu Qingye was a cold woman with a cool temperament. She looked like a Daoist nun, and maintained the most basic respect for Lu Sheng. When she heard Lu Sheng's question, she slowly explained the purpose of her visit.
"Sect Master Lu, you're a genius with great talent and bold vision. Your achievements in martial arts are astonishing, and the Mu Family of the Four Lives Province greatly admires you. My niece, Mu Jueqing, hopes to take you as her master and practice True Essence martial arts." Her words were a little abrupt and stiff.
Although Lu Sheng was strong, he didn't think that his name would spread to the Four Lives Province. Not to mention that he had fought with Xu Qi last time. Xu Qi probably had some connection with the Mu Family, so he wouldn't come all the way here to be his disciple.
It wasn't like the Four Lives Province didn't have any Divine Lords.
After some thought, Lu Sheng looked at Mu Jueqing, who looked a little uneasy and expectant. As if sensing Lu Sheng's gaze on her face, Mu Jueqing blushed and lowered her head bashfully. Behind her, Mu Quening's face was pale, and he seemed to be terrified.
Lu Sheng paused for a moment, then replied casually, "My sect has no intention of accepting disciples. Please leave."
"Sect Master, are you worried that Qing 'er isn't good enough for you? Qing 'er has the legendary Wood Spirit Body. She can achieve twice the results with half the effort when she practices any True Essence martial arts. She's already built a good foundation, and can step into the Three-Vein Realm at any time. "Mu Qingye took out a small red seed and showed it in her palm.
"Also, this is a gift from the Mu Family for taking you as my master. It's a Soul Reaping Seed."
"Oh??!" Lu Sheng was slightly moved when he saw the vermilion seed. The Soul Assimilating Seed was a kind of Heavenly Variant. Legend had it that it existed in the Devil World's Devil Abyss. Once it was planted, it could simulate the conversion of Essence Qi and produce extremely pure Devil Qi.
This was the best gift for Devil Arts cultivators who practiced Devil Essence. One seed was worth at least two Golden Leaf Divine Weapons, and there was no market for it. This was because the Soul Reaping Seed was too rare, and Divine Weapons fell from the World of Pain every year.
"How generous!" Lu Sheng's mind spun. He knew that Mu Qingye had figured out what he needed. If the Prime Devil Sect wanted to grow, it needed more experts. Right now, it could only rely on these few experts to support it. In reality, it was already at its limit.
And the Soul Reaping Seed was the key to accelerating the growth of the sect's experts.
After a moment's hesitation, Lu Sheng looked at Mu Jueqing again. Fortunately, the Great Yin didn't discriminate against Devil Arts. As long as they could make it clear that they weren't on the side of the Devil World, the Great Yin wouldn't care what technique they practiced. Moreover, Lu Sheng could slowly tell that the Devil Essence and Devil Qi cultivated from Devil Arts were two different things from the real Devil Qi and Devil Essence of the Devil World.
The Great Yin had an Artifact that could easily distinguish between the two, so it didn't matter.
"Wood Spirit Body, huh?" He tapped the armrest of his chair and fell into deep thought. At his current level, it was almost impossible for him to increase his strength in a short period of time.
No matter how much Mental Energy he had, he couldn't quickly increase the quality of Death Flame to the level of Origin Power.
The Infinity Technique could at most increase a portion of Death Flame's power. Lu Sheng had tried to extrapolate further, but it also involved studying the Origin of Death Flame.
He lacked information in this area, so after two extrapolations, the result was only a small increase in strength. The amount of Mental Energy consumed was not proportional to the increase in strength. He also needed to fulfill all sorts of conditions to increase it.
After a few tries, Lu Sheng gave up completely, and focused on studying the various methods of Death Flame.
Putting in Mental Energy was definitely effective. He could feel Deep Blue rapidly analyzing Death Flame with Mental Energy, but the amount needed was far from enough.
Right now, he had a lot of time to collect Divine Weapons and accumulate Mental Energy. Apart from expanding the Prime Devil Sect's influence, he should also leave some future security for himself, the Prime Devil Sect, the Crimson Sun Sect, and his family.
That way, when he went far away one day and wasn't here, there would still be people to help him guard his sect. Help his descendants. To achieve this, the people in the Prime Devil Sect didn't have enough potential.
Seeing that Lu Sheng seemed to be moved, Mu Jueqing spoke up.
"Perhaps Teacher doesn't know my potential, but my Wood Spirit Body is the most compatible with wood-type Divine Weapons. As long as it's a wood-type Divine Weapon, it will definitely like me. In other words, if I can break through the Bind level, my chances of becoming a Weapon Master are almost 100%! Even in the main family, there aren't many people with my potential. "
Lu Sheng was still unmoved. At his level, a Weapon Master could only protect himself. To protect his sect, he had to be at least a Divine Lord.
He looked at the little girl below him. To become a Divine Lord, one needed an extremely strong spirit and willpower, capable of deceiving the world and interfering with reality.
He suddenly remembered that the Wood Spirit Body had an advantage that other Spirit Bodies couldn't. Once a Weapon Master became a Weapon Master and wielded a wood-type Divine Weapon, the lifespan of such a body could be extended to thousands of years, even longer than a Divine Lord's.
'I'll just take it as a pawn.'
As the thought flashed through his mind, Lu Sheng finally nodded slowly.
"I will observe you for a while. If you can pass my test, then I will take you as my disciple. If you can't, then don't even think about it."
Mu Jueqing's face was instantly filled with joy, and her cheeks flushed. She quickly bowed slightly to Mu Qingye, as if to express her gratitude, then took a step forward while holding her cousin's hand.
"Don't worry. Since I was young, there's nothing that can stump me!" She showed an extremely confident expression.
"I hope you're telling the truth." Lu Sheng shook his head slightly, and looked at this little fellow with amusement.
"Then, I'll take my leave." Mu Qingye lightly released the Soul Absorbing Seed in her hand, and let it fly in front of Lu Sheng.
"Sect Master Lu, actually, Qing 'er privately asked me to bring her here. If she doesn't pass the test …" Mu Qingye suddenly showed a helpless expression.
"Aiya, stop talking!" Mu Jueqing hurriedly jumped up and covered Mu Qingye's mouth, but it was too late.
Originally, her family had arranged for her to go to the vicinity of the Yin Capital, and become the disciple of a peak Divine Lord who was on good terms with the Mu Family. That person was famous for being a good teacher, and had taught two powerful Divine Lords. But for some reason, Mu Jueqing was stubborn, and insisted on coming to the Prime Devil Sect and becoming the disciple of the newly risen Lu Sheng. No matter how her family tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen.
After a while, Mu Jueqing impatiently left her family, and found Mu Qingye, who was closest to her, and brought Mu Quening to the Autumn Moon County.
The Wood Spirit Body was an orthodox and powerful Spirit Body. It was different from the Ferocious Moon Body that Lu Sheng had been mistaken for. It was only one level weaker than the Ferocious Moon Body. If someone with this body could break through to the Earth Prime level, they would have a 100% chance of becoming an Earth Prime Weapon Master.
Therefore, Mu Jueqing was highly regarded in her family. Since she insisted on becoming Lu Sheng's disciple, the Mu Family could only give up. After all, he was also a Divine Lord. Although he wasn't at the Divine Intellect level, the difference wasn't that big for Mu Jueqing.
