The pride of Kunyun City, Wu Shaoqian, had been crippled! Not only had he fallen from the clouds to the mud overnight, but his soul had also been dispersing, on the verge of death.
Feeling em...
Chapter 82 Opening the Invitation
Wu Shaogan had no expression, but when he learned that there was no next level, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, in accordance with the rules, he swore not to reveal any information about the assessment.
A door appeared silently on the side.
Wu Shaogan strode inside.
The other cultivators watched him go in silence.
Wu Shaogan walked very fast.
The other cultivators had mixed feelings, but since they were still in the assessment, they closed their eyes and calmed their minds to continue visualizing the lines.
The comprehension test lasts for a total of twenty-four hours, and there is still more than half of it left.
They refused to believe they couldn't grasp it!
·
After stepping out the door, Wu Shaogan appeared directly in a grand hall.
The palace gate was open, leading directly into the inner perimeter of the barrier formation.
Wu Shaogan walked faster and faster.
In the blink of an eye, he had completely walked out of the martial arts assessment hall.
At the same time, Wu Shaogan's gaze swept quickly across the crowd.
In an instant, he saw the handsome young man squatting on the ground, pulling weeds, looking utterly bored.
The two seemed to be on the same wavelength.
When Wu Shaogan looked over, the boy looked over as well.
Their eyes met, and they couldn't help but smile.
·
Zhong Cai waited so long it felt like an eternity, and she would feel anxious and flustered every now and then.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a pang of fear and then involuntarily headed in a certain direction.
Zhong Cai's eyes immediately lit up.
Old Wu!
It's Old Wu who's out!
Zhong Cai couldn't wait to stand up and rushed there at her fastest speed!
·
Wu Shaogan moved swiftly, quickly moving outside the barrier formation—he was genuinely worried that if A Cai ran too fast, she might accidentally bump into the formation.
Zhong Cai did indeed run so fast that he left afterimages.
The moment Wu Shaogan stepped out of the fray, Zhong Cai had already leaped in front of him and jumped onto him without hesitation.
"Old Wu!"
Wu Shaogan hugged him tightly.
But the next moment, Zhong Cai seemed to remember something and quickly nudged him.
Wu Shaogan tightened his grip, reluctant to let go.
Zhong Cai pushed it again.
Wu Shaogan finally slightly reduced his strength.
Zhong Cai broke free from Wu Shaogan's embrace and, without saying anything more, circled around Wu Shaogan three times.
Wu Shaogan understood, and openly opened his arms, letting A Cai observe him.
Zhong Cai tugged at Wu Shaogan, sometimes making him turn around, sometimes making him take a few steps.
Wu Shaogan did exactly as instructed.
Zhong Caicai finally nodded in satisfaction and praised, "Well done."
Anyway, Lao Wu will definitely pass.
Ideally, you'd be able to get through without getting hurt!
Wu Shaogan had gentle features and a gentle smile.
Then, Wu Shaogan opened his arms to Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai lunged forward again.
This time, the two hugged each other happily.
Zhong Cai snuggled against Wu Shaogan's chest and rubbed against him twice, only feeling somewhat satisfied after inhaling a sufficient amount of his familiar scent.
Wu Shaogan didn't make many movements, but the tip of his nose twitched slightly, as he felt the restlessness deep inside him being slowly soothed.
It's really strange not being able to see the other person at all during the assessment.
·
The two spent a long, intimate time together before preparing to return to their residence in Jade Dragon City.
Xia Jiang silently bowed to the two of them.
Zhong Cai then remembered Xia Jiang and called out to him, "Let's go back first!"
Xia Jiang quickly responded.
Zhong Cai thought for a moment and then said, "Don't worry, Dong Xiao will come back safely."
—The protagonist is a pretty hardworking one, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Moreover, those who came out before were at most seriously injured, and weren't they all given pills by the temple guards to keep them alive?
Xia Jiang thanked him gratefully.
He understood the reasoning, but he was genuinely uneasy.
Although it was somewhat inappropriate, after spending so many days together, deep in his heart, in the most secret place... he actually regarded the young master as his own child.
After smiling, Zhong Cai took Wu Shaogan's hand and walked away happily.
Wu Shaogan let himself be pulled and looked intently at Zhong Cai, his eyes full of smiles.
·
After Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan left, Xia Jiang sat down again.
He felt many strong gazes sweep over him.
There was no malice in their gazes, but most of them carried a mixture of curiosity, surprise, amusement, and subtlety...
As a death guard, Xia Jiang is quite perceptive when it comes to discerning emotions.
Xia Jiang felt a bit uneasy.
However, Xia Jiang knew that these gazes were not actually directed at him, but rather at the young master and Master Zhong.
And the reason...
Naturally, it was because of the intimate atmosphere between the two, where no one else could intrude.
However, this was, after all, a family matter between those two, and many cultivators were already in line, so they only glanced at it unconsciously.
Xia Jiang sat quietly, pretending not to have noticed anything, and those gazes quickly shifted away.
He thought that the young master and Master Zhong were getting closer and closer, which was indeed something that many Daoist couples could not compare to.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan walked down the street in high spirits.
The two of them huddled together and had endless things to talk about.
Because the assessment was not yet over, Wu Shaogan could not disclose the information to the outside world, so he did not go into details, but gave a general overview of his performance.
Zhong Cai chuckled and then recounted the pills he had refined and the pills he had come to understand.
Since there were no restrictions on the alchemist's side, Zhong Cai didn't need to hide anything and spoke with great enthusiasm.
Wu Shaogan loved to see every aspect of Zhong Cai, but he especially loved this flamboyant and cheerful one.
He tilted his head slightly, listening patiently and happily.
·
After walking for a while, Zhong Cai saw a very magnificent restaurant and couldn't bear to leave.
Wu Shaogan understood and said with a smile, "Ah Cai, we haven't eaten for days, shall we go and get something to eat first?"
Zhong Cai had no objections whatsoever and said excitedly, "Let's go!"
So the two of them went into the restaurant.
As with many previous occasions, I arrived at a private room on the second floor.
·
The restaurant was packed with people, most of whom were crammed onto the first floor.
Fortunately, the restaurant was spacious enough with plenty of private rooms, which allowed the two of them to reserve a table.
After being seated, the restaurant staff did not neglect us despite the large number of customers; they quickly came over with eager smiles to greet us.
Zhong Cai quickly ordered a few dishes.
The waiters served the food very quickly.
Then, the two of them each chose what they could eat and began to feast.
·
The restaurant was very noisy.
If you just prick up your ears a little, you can hear all sorts of sounds.
What many cultivators were thinking about and discussing was naturally the assessment of the Azure Dragon Academy.
"I heard that quite a few talented people emerged from this miscellaneous knowledge assessment!"
"Where did this news come from? What kind of miscellaneous studies is it? What's it called?"
"How could we possibly find out their specific names right now? We'll only know the results after all the assessments are over! This is just some inside information, supposedly from someone close to one of the miscellaneous cultivators who participated in the assessments."
"Alright, stop keeping me in suspense!"
Because the miscellaneous studies assessment was highly valued, many people were drawn to this well-informed and eloquent cultivator.
Many guests began to urge them on.
So the cultivator continued to speak loudly.
"You all know about cross-level challenges by cultivators of miscellaneous skills, right? It's about using the strength of a lower realm to challenge the refining of a higher level! Of course, there are plenty of geniuses in our city, and we can easily pick out a lot of them who can cross levels, but you all understand that true cross-level challenges don't just mean refining something, but rather being able to demonstrate a considerably high level of skill after crossing levels!"
"Although I just passed the first batch of exams, I actually scored higher than the grade level in several miscellaneous subjects!"
Just as the cultivator was about to create some atmosphere and keep the audience in suspense, another voice rang out.
"I know, I know!"
"Among the weapon makers, a cultivator at the Heavenly Guidance Realm has forged a second-grade superior-level Xuan weapon! It is said to be extremely powerful! Among the talisman makers, a cultivator at the Palace Opening Realm has drawn a third-grade mid-level talisman. This leapfrogging is even more difficult than the previous Heavenly Guidance Realm cultivator's leapfrogging."
"I heard that the array masters' ability to set up arrays is related to the soul's tolerance, so they can only set up arrays at the same level as themselves, otherwise it is easy to damage their souls. But this time, there are several people at the seventh or eighth level of the Heavenly Guidance Realm who have set up first-level top-grade arrays, each with its own power."
"And the most powerful—"
The tall, thin cultivator who had suddenly appeared was almost finished speaking, so those who had wanted to keep him in suspense quickly interrupted.
"In the last batch of alchemy assessments, there was a sixth-level alchemist's niece! She was a favorite to win! But she lost to another alchemist, and she accepted it wholeheartedly, even bringing it up herself when people were complimenting her!"
"Young Master Zhou! What a broad mind you have!"
"I heard that Master Zhou can now refine top-grade level two pills on her own, with a success rate that is very high, often reaching 60% to 70%! But the opponent she encountered this time was not only a pill refiner of a higher level, but also one who didn't cause any furnace explosions! What's even more impressive is that this pill refiner is very good at producing top-grade pills. I've inquired about it, and it seems that every batch produces top-grade pills without exception!"
The cultivators all suddenly appeared, drawing gasps of amazement from the crowd.
To be honest, while the four miscellaneous disciplines are all very powerful and commonly used, the existence of alchemists is of greater benefit to them.
Top-grade elixirs...
The elixir that so many people yearn for!
Moreover, this alchemist, whom even Little Zhou Alchemist admires, can produce top-grade alchemy even when he is only at the Heavenly Guidance Realm. If he enters the Azure Dragon Academy and is carefully nurtured, wouldn't his future be even brighter?
Who knows, they might even be able to refine higher-grade pills in the future!
In an instant, some people began to sigh.
"I really want to ask that alchemist for the elixir..."
"After that alchemist enrolls, I wonder if any of the top-grade pills he personally refined will be released."
“The academy usually releases some every year. Let’s keep an eye out for them at the Azure Dragon Trading Company in a few months.”
“That’s right. Many of the items over there are consigned by academy disciples, so we can offer higher prices.”
"If we wait a few more years, this alchemist might be qualified to hold an auction."
"Dan Zhan is also a possibility..."
·
After Zhong Cai finished eating, she saw her husband, Lao Wu, propping his head up with his hand, as if he had heard something interesting, and he was smiling.
He paused for a moment, then listened out of curiosity.
Then, Zhong Cai smiled smugly.
Wu Shaogan noticed Zhong Cai's reaction and couldn't help but chuckle, poking Zhong Cai's cheek.
Zhong Cai chuckled and said, "Did you hear that? They're all praising me!"
Wu Shaogan's smile deepened: "It was precisely because you praised A-Cai that I listened so carefully."
Zhong Cai's face flushed, and she leaned over and bit Wu Shaogan's face.
Not to be outdone, Wu Shaogan turned his head and bit Zhong Cai's lip.
Zhong Cai snorted and licked her lips.
Wu Shaogan's gaze deepened slightly.
Zhong Cai gave him a provocative look.
Wu Shaogan: "..."
Zhong Cai said arrogantly, "I'll deal with you when we get back!"
Wu Shaogan smiled: "I'm always ready."
Zhong Cai thought about his small frame and felt a little guilty, but he was not willing to be outdone, so he raised his chin high.
Wu Shaogan: "..."
The two remained silent for three seconds before bursting into laughter.
Zhong Cai rubbed her chin and sighed, "It was quite tiring to hold it up like that just now."
Wu Shaogan suppressed a laugh, reached out and rubbed A Cai's chin.
Zhong Cai: "..."
·
The two ate intimately.
Before, it was about filling your stomach; now it's about enjoying delicious food.
They're a couple, deeply in love.
So while they enjoyed themselves, they also shared, feeding each other bite by bite.
Wu Shaogan also peeled some fruit peels and shrimp shells for Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai's fingers are also very nimble; she can also pick and process some dishes and share them with her husband, Lao Wu.
Now, the excitement they felt from their brief separation has finally subsided somewhat.
But the intimacy remains.
After all, they've always been very close.
·
The sounds of conversation downstairs reached their ears intermittently.
Although she didn't listen carefully, Zhong Cai still caught some key words.
Invitation letter.
Zhong Cai thought for a moment, then quietly took out a letter, waved it at Wu Shaogan, and immediately put it away.
Wu Shaogan and he had a great understanding; Wu Shaogan quickly took out a card, displayed it, and then put it away.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At the same time, they all listened carefully.
They're talking about the details of this thing downstairs.
·
The invitation was no secret.
Countless years have passed, and countless tests have been conducted. Although this thing doesn't always appear, its frequency isn't low.
Naturally, many people know about it.
After each round of assessments, countless people pay attention to who received invitations.
·
The invitation letter is similar in appearance to a letter.
After receiving the certificate, the students can open it and examine it to determine whether they wish to become disciples based on the treatment and requirements proposed by their mentor.
Once you become an apprentice, you will become a resident disciple.
·
There are many types of disciples in the Azure Dragon Academy, the most common being inner court disciples and outer court disciples.
Meanwhile, the inner court disciples are further divided into resident disciples, elite inner court disciples, and ordinary inner court disciples.
A resident disciple is a disciple of a particular mentor.
Elite inner court disciples are those who have not formally become disciples but have met the elite standards set by the academy.
Ordinary inner court disciples... those are just ordinary disciples, they also haven't taken on a master.
Only the inner court disciples are truly one of the Azure Dragon Academy's own people.
Once they entered the inner courtyard, it was like joining a sect; they would then belong to the Azure Dragon Academy.
Outer disciples, on the other hand, can be expelled at any time.
·
Azure Dragon Academy recruits students from all over the world. Once admitted, students can study at the outer academy for at least three years.
During these three years, the outer court disciples can enjoy excellent treatment and also gain many inheritances and opportunities assigned to the outer court.
Even if they fail the first external assessment, as long as they have worked hard for the past three years, what they have learned after being expelled from the academy can still be of great help to them.
Strictly speaking, this is actually an assistance provided by the Azure Dragon Academy to the vast number of cultivators.
The resources available to the outer academy are naturally far less than those to the inner academy, but the outer academy also offers freedom of movement—if you want to leave, you just need to fail the exam.
Some students, after learning enough, were unable to enter the inner academy for various reasons, but if they achieved something after leaving, they could not help but be grateful to the Azure Dragon Academy.
Naturally, Azure Dragon Academy has thus forged many good relationships.
·
Once the proctors discover promising students, they will use their authority to extend an olive branch first.
After all, for an academy to thrive, it must have enough strong individuals. The more promising a talent is, the more the mentors want to recruit them—at least to strengthen the connection between the talent and the academy, and not to let talent slip away easily.
Many times, exceptional admissions are made because professors don't want to miss out.
Gradually, invitations came into being.
·
There are two types of invitation letters.
One type of invitation is white, and the other is gold.
The white invitation signifies that a master at the Palace Building realm wishes to take a cultivator as his disciple.
The golden invitation indicated that a mentor at the Spirit Transformation Realm wanted to take on a disciple.
The specific details depend on the individual mentor's ideas.
Those who receive an invitation to take the exam can choose to become apprentices or refuse.
If you want to become an apprentice, you just need to write your name on it; if you want to refuse, you can tear up the invitation or burn it.
If a cultivator who receives an invitation cannot decide immediately, he can wait—after all, perhaps more mentors will take notice of him and send him more invitations?
However, each invitation has a time limit.
A response must be given before the assessment of all candidates is completed.
If it is not done in time, the invitation will self-immolate and disappear.
·
The cultivators discussed the invitation intensely, their discussions filled with envy and curiosity.
"I heard that after the first batch of martial arts cultivators took the exam, not a single person received an invitation!"
"Not a single one? Does that mean no mentor wants to pre-select a disciple?"
"That's right! As for the miscellaneous cultivators, didn't they mention a lot of challenges beyond their level before? Apparently, several of them have already received invitations."
"There isn't a Little Alchemist Zhou, but she's definitely going to become Alchemist Zhou's apprentice..."
"Does the one who is even more skilled than Little Zhou Alchemist have an invitation?"
"According to a close friend of Master Zhou, that alchemist received a total of three invitations!"
"Wow--!"
"Three mentors have chosen him! Just who is that alchemist? He's incredibly skilled!"
"that is……"
·
In the private room.
Zhong Cai's eyes and brows were filled with a happy smile.
Wu Shaogan frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased.
Both of them had just seen the invitations they had received.
Wu Shaogan's was golden, while Zhong Cai's was white.
Upon hearing the difference between the two invitations, Zhong Cai was naturally pleased that Old Wu was favored by the Spirit Transformation cultivator, while Wu Shaogan was unhappy that A Cai was only favored by the Palace Building cultivator.
Zhong Cai's beaming eyes met Wu Shaogan's suddenly sinister gaze.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.
Zhong Cai quickly understood, and in a good mood, leaned on Wu Shaogan's shoulder and patted Wu Shaogan's head with her head.
"Hey, Lao Wu, don't be angry for me!"
Wu Shaogan muttered, "How could someone be so blind?"
Zhong Cai didn't mind much. After all, it was an invitation from a cultivator who had reached the Palace Building stage, and it should have been written by a sixth-level alchemist.
He's only a level two alchemist right now, and the other person is four levels higher than him. It's not that they look down on him if they want to take him as a disciple.
A seventh-level alchemist who has reached the Spirit Transformation stage has lived for so many years and is in an eighth-level power. He has seen countless geniuses. It's normal if he feels that he is still lacking.
Zhong nuzzled his head against his husband Lao Wu's neck, rolled around a few times in a sticky manner, and then said with a grin, "As long as Lao Wu thinks I'm the best, that's enough. No one else matters."
Wu Shaogan was pleased for a moment, but still a little depressed.
Zhong Cai nudged him and said, "I have three, and you have more than one, right? When you get back, you can choose carefully."
Wu Shaogan was still brooding.
Zhong Cai smiled broadly and said, "I won't take a master yet. After I enter the academy, I'll work hard and try to be noticed by a seventh-level alchemist!"
Wu Shaogan sighed.
Suddenly, Zhong Cai thought of something, looked up sharply, and said, "You're not thinking of giving up too, are you?"
Wu Shaogan looked at Zhong Cai with a quiet gaze.
Zhong Cai raised her hand and pinched Wu Shaogan's face.
He gave a forced smile and spoke in a sinister tone: "Old Wu?"
Wu Shaogan paused for a moment, then compromised, saying, "I'll go pick one."
Zhong Cai was finally satisfied and instructed, "Anyway, they are all Spirit Transformation Realm experts, which is enough for us to learn. Old Wu, you should choose one that you are comfortable to get along with."
Wu Shaogan nodded, indicating that he understood.
·
In such a vast state, there aren't many level-eight forces.
Although Azure Dragon Academy is not a Grade Earth Academy, that's only true for the last five hundred years. In the previous five hundred years, the academy was a strong competitor to several other top Grade Eight forces and had won the Grade Earth title many times.
Its overall strength was no less than that of the other forces.
After being admitted to the academy, it is equivalent to having an eighth-level power as a backer, and becoming an apprentice will further deepen the connection with the eighth-level power.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan were naturally willing to become his disciples.
The master-disciple relationship is very important. Before becoming an apprentice, both parties must carefully select and accept each other's selection.
Once the apprenticeship is successful, the master and apprentice will form a bonded relationship with shared interests.
If we're lucky...
Master, Master, is both a mentor and a father (or mother).
·
For Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan, if they had bad eyesight and chose the wrong master, it wouldn't be a big problem.
After all, as long as you spend enough money, Wu Shaogan can summon countless Dao soldiers on his command platform, including high-level and special Dao soldiers.
With enough Xuan Stones, a high-level Dao Soldier can create a Spirit Transformation Realm Dao Soldier that obeys commands—their combat power has been reached.
Among special Dao soldiers, there are also those who had extremely high cultivation levels in their previous lives—their experience points have been reached.
Both of them have a way out.
But Zhong Cai had another idea hidden deep in her mind.
His father, Lao Wu, really didn't have much of a parental bond.
Of course, Zhong Cai herself didn't either—although her maternal grandfather and aunt were very close, they hadn't seen each other for many years, and there was a certain distance between them. They both cherished this family bond, but they also understood that there was still a certain degree of politeness involved.
If the two of them could find a good master, perhaps they could improve in this area.
Wu Shaogan thought the same way; he also hoped that A Cai could get the best.
·
After finishing their meal, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan sat for a while longer before settling the bill and leaving the restaurant.
The cultivators in the main hall were still making a ruckus, and they continued to reveal a great deal of information.
However, Zhong Cai now prefers to go back.
He wanted to see which mentors had such good taste that they immediately chose his family's Lao Wu!
·
Jade Dragon City, a separate residence.
Most of the cultivators in Jade Dragon City are currently undergoing this round of assessments, so the other areas are relatively empty.
When the two entered, few people noticed them.
So the two quickly returned to the guest house.
Zhong Da and several other servants came forward, but Zhong Cai waved his hand, indicating that they did not need to serve him.
The servants, of course, all wisely withdrew.
As soon as Xiang Lin saw his two masters enter the room, he went to the door and sat down cross-legged.
Guard the gate for your two masters.
·
After entering the room, Zhong Cai pulled Wu Shaogan to sit down and said impatiently, "Old Wu! Quickly take it out and let's see!"
Wu Shaogan set up the array to isolate divine thoughts and quickly activated the soundproof array plates.
Then, with a glint in Zhong Cailiang's eyes, he took out four gold invitations and three light gold supplementary invitations.
Zhong Cai: "Wow! So many!"
Wu Shao chuckled dryly as he placed the three supplementary letters together with their corresponding gold invitations.
Zhong Cai counted them and raised her eyebrows: "I wonder how many tutors proctored your exam."
Wu Shaogan didn't know either.
But both of them knew that it was incredibly prestigious to have one consecration ceremony fought over by four Spirit Transformation Masters.
Zhong Cai casually picked up a card and tore it open.
In an instant, a scroll appeared.
Zhong Cai was taken aback, picked up the scroll, and said curiously, "I thought it would be a letter, but it's rolled up?"
Suddenly, he laughed.
"Could it be that they couldn't finish writing on the letter paper, so they specially made a scroll to list everything?"
Wu Shaogan also laughed and said, "You'll know once you open it."
Zhong Cai had already quickly unrolled the scroll.
In the blink of an eye, the scroll was completely flattened and lay across half the room.
Immediately afterwards, a supplementary letter flew out and stuck to the back of the scroll.
The scroll suddenly lengthened.
This length... extends from the east wall of the room to the west wall.
Clearly, the deputy letter increased the benefits, and the compensation was added together.
·
Zhong Cai blinked, stood up, and walked to the beginning of the scroll.
It started with a series of self-introductions.
[Senior Instructor Xu Qing, mid-stage Spirit Transformation realm, skilled in swordsmanship, top-grade Earth-level inheritance...]
It concisely explained the mentor's identity and background.
In addition, this includes how many experts at the level of Grandmaster or above are in this mentor's faction, how many disciples the mentor previously had, and what their strength was...
This used up about three feet.
·
At this moment, Wu Shaogan also came to Zhong Cai's side.
The two carefully read through the information from beginning to end, writing it all down.
Zhong Cai exclaimed, "Amazing! A Spirit Transformation is truly remarkable. Old Wu, look, besides him, there are two other Spirit Transformation cultivators in this advanced instructor's faction, though they are slightly weaker than him."
As for the instructors at the Palace Construct Realm, they were numerous, and a quick glance revealed countless names...
·
After reading the introduction, the two of them looked at the requirements.
The requirements of this mentor, Xu Qing, are that his disciples must pass every assessment, compete for a place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, and complete each major breakthrough within a certain number of years.
In addition, disciples are required to accept tasks every month. If they need to go into seclusion during cultivation, the tasks will accumulate and they will continue to complete them after the seclusion ends.
At the same time, all disciples are forbidden from having romantic relationships. Once their breakthrough speed slows down, they must leave their Daoist partners or lovers...
·
Upon reaching this point, Wu Shaogan no longer wanted to read on.
Zhong Cai also pursed her lips.
At that moment, neither of them had any interest in the resources that could be provided later.
Zhong Cai said, "The first few requirements were fine, the tutor was supervising my studies, but what's with the rest! Is the homeroom teacher cracking down on early relationships?! If my grades drop, I have to break up??"
Wu Shaogan didn't know much about being a homeroom teacher, but he could roughly understand the meaning.
Zhong Cai explained those terms to Wu Shaogan.
Then, somewhat speechless, he said, "I never went to school in my past life and never experienced this kind of 'youth,' and now you want me to experience it in this life?"
Seeing Zhong Cai's appearance, Wu Shaogan felt a little better.
Regardless, the two should still maintain respect for their mentor.
So they quickly scanned the subsequent list of resources.
To be honest, the mentor provides a lot of information, some of which is given immediately, and some will be given at a suitable time later.
Once Wu Shaogan signs his name, a contract is established, and the mentor must fulfill the obligations outlined in the contract.
At the same time, Wu Shaogan really had to meet his mentor's requirements.
Although both were confident that Wu Shaogan would not slow down his breakthrough speed in subsequent cultivation, Wu Shaogan was not willing to take the risk.
What if something unexpected happens? Wouldn't he be forced to separate from Zhong Cai?
Wu Shaogan didn't fly into a rage when he saw this request, which was only because Zhong Cai was by his side and kept him in his tracks.
Zhong Cai was equally unhappy.
Even if the two don't become disciples, they will never separate!
·
Wu Shaogan quickly lit a fire, burning the scroll.
This one is absolutely out of the question, no way!
Zhong Cai opened the second golden invitation.
What was revealed was still a scroll.
He still unfolded the thing.
Once the scroll is unrolled, just like the previous one, after receiving the secondary message, it extends to the walls on both sides.
The two stood in front of the scroll and looked at it. As usual, there were various introductions in front of them, and they wrote down this information.
Then, what they saw was already a list of resources.
The two exchanged a glance.
Does this tutor provide resources first and then set requirements?
The two quickly scanned through the numerous resources.
It was quite generous, no less than the previous one.
In fact, it's even more generous by three points.
Seeing how highly the mentor regarded Lao Wu, Zhong Cai was pleased and quickly read to the end.
Sure enough, the requirements were placed at the end.
Zhong Cai pulled Wu Shaogan along, and they looked on curiously.
The next moment, Zhong Cai's smile froze.
·
After reading only a few words, Wu Shaogan's face turned ashen, and he unleashed a ball of flame, burning the entire invitation to ashes!
At this moment, a strong killing intent surged from Wu Shaogan's body.
Zhong Cai immediately noticed Wu Shaogan's reaction. He was also very angry at the time, but he quickly realized what was happening and hugged Wu Shaogan tightly.
"Old Wu! Calm down!"
Wu Shaogan took a deep breath, his expression still extremely unpleasant.
Helpless, Zhong Cai stood on tiptoe and bit Wu Shaogan's lips.
Wu Shaogan didn't want A Cai to see the ferocity in his eyes, so he quickly closed them.
Zhong Cai bit him and then rubbed her lips against him a few times to comfort him.
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Shaogan finally managed to suppress his anger.
Zhong Cai also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It's understandable that Lao Wu is angry about this.
If it were him, he would be the one who gets even angrier.
·
The professor's demands truly angered Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan.
The first few requirements were fairly standard, similar to those of Professor Xu Qing, and there was no requirement to "separate if progress is slow".
But the last requirement was absolutely outrageous.
To their utter surprise, their mentor actually wanted Wu Shaogan to take a concubine!
That's fucking outrageous!
The Spirit Transformation Master is forcing his newly accepted disciple to take a concubine!
Shouldn't they be grateful that their mentor didn't make Wu Shaogan leave Zhong Cai, and even left the position of the main wife for Zhong Cai?
And there was more than one candidate for this concubine.
The mentor meant that Wu Shaogan should have two concubines. One of them was a direct descendant of the mentor's family, a stunning beauty with excellent aptitude. The other was a female disciple of the mentor, also a stunning beauty, but Wu Shaogan would assist that female disciple in her cultivation.
What a load of nonsense!
Wu Shaogan would never agree to such a disgusting request.
Wu Shaogan felt a deep malice towards his mentor the moment he saw him.
·
Zhong Cai found it outrageous and was both amused and exasperated.
The Spirit Transformation Master has lived for so many years and has such a high status, yet he still interferes in his disciple's affairs.
What kind of behavior is that?
Even more terrifying, the mentor also proposed that after the two concubines gave birth to their offspring, they would be handed over to the mentor's family for upbringing.
That's outrageous, it's doubled.
Zhong Cai held Wu Shaogan's hand, gently stroking it, continuing to comfort him.
Wu Shaogan slowly exhaled.
After their anger subsided, neither of them understood why the tutor would make such a request.
That's really unreasonable.
·
The two consecutive invitations had shattered Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan's joy.
Instructor Xu Qing was a bit strict, but his requirements were still reasonable. Overall, he was just trying to urge his disciples to cultivate.
The person behind that is talking complete nonsense.
Zhong Cai silently opened the third letter.
Now he doesn't even think about being picky anymore, because there might not be any options at all.
He wanted to know what kind of ideas this new mentor would come up with.
Thinking of this, Zhong Cai's lips twitched again.
He'll never be able to get over gacha pulls and blind boxes in his life.
It's just issuing an invitation and choosing a mentor, but it's being made to look like drawing cards or opening blind boxes.
Wu Shaogan had given up hope.
At worst, I can just not become an apprentice.

Fortunately, the third invitation was normal.
This eased their emotions considerably.
After the mentor gave his introduction, the requirements he made were similar to those of Xu Qing.
However, he did not ask Wu Shaogan to "break up if his progress slows down." Instead, he subtly suggested that if the deep affection between the couple affected his mindset for cultivation, they should separate temporarily to adjust.
They were quite patient and persuasive.
Zhong Cai breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Shaogan looked slightly better, but he still didn't seem particularly interested in becoming an apprentice.
Then, the two opened the last golden invitation.
Two scrolls suddenly appeared in this invitation.
After the scrolls were unrolled, both extended to the east and west walls.
Zhong Cai was taken aback.
Does this mentor think so highly of Lao Wu?
