With Lu Ziqi's discerning eye, she could immediately see the extraordinary nature of this knife—a king-grade weapon with seventh-tier combat power.
"Was it made from the thing I gave him? This kid's got some skills."
Lu Ziqi wasn't interested in the art of weapon crafting, but she knew how advanced the crafting skills were required to forge a seventh-tier weapon.
"I never expected this kid to have such a talent."
Lu Ziqi became even more curious about Lu Chen.
Lu Chen finished his cultivation and decided to go out for a walk. He had been in the Xuanwu Academy for quite some time, but he hadn't really explored it much.
The Xuanwu Academy covers a vast area and is isolated from the world. It has seven huge peaks, each guarded by an elder.
The mountain where Lu Ziqi lives is almost deserted, and few people usually come here, as everyone is afraid of Lu Ziqi.
"Master! Your disciple has come again. It has been several days since we last met. Have you missed me? Your disciple has been thinking of you day and night and cannot sleep."
This time, Lu Chen arrived at the palace where Lu Ziqi was.
"Speak your mind, or shut up."
Lu Ziqi was already somewhat numb. She was lying on a recliner above the palace, yawning with a bored expression.
System notification: Your confession to Lu Ziqi failed. You have received a reward of five Source Crystals.
This time the reward was even higher, and Lu Chen was secretly delighted. Seeing Lu Ziqi's impatient look, he quickly said, "This disciple wants to go out for a walk, so I came to say goodbye to Master. Please take good care of yourself while this disciple is away."
Lu Chen's smile appeared incredibly sincere and radiant.
Lu Ziqi suddenly had a thought; the opportunity had arrived.
"No! Disciples of Xuanwu Academy are not allowed to leave the mountain without permission; otherwise, they will be punished according to the sect rules."
Lu Ziqi refused without hesitation.
"I'm not allowed to go down the mountain without permission? That's why I've come to inform my master. As long as my master agrees, that should be fine, right?"
Lu Chen, however, was quite dismissive.
“I disagree! The Xuanwu Ceremony is about to begin, so don’t cause trouble! However, you’ve only just entered the sect, and the Xuanwu Ceremony has nothing to do with you. It’s not wrong for you to go out and have a stroll. I happen to have something for you to do. If you do it well, I can make an exception and let you participate in the Xuanwu Ceremony.”
Lu Ziqi suddenly smiled and looked at Lu Chen expectantly, waiting for him to agree.
Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment.
"The Xuanwu Grand Ceremony? What is that?"
He was indeed completely confused; it sounded like the Xuanwu Academy was holding some kind of grand event.
"All disciples of the Xuanwu Academy below the King Realm will have the opportunity to participate in the Xuanwu Grand Ceremony once every ten years. The ultimate winner will receive generous rewards and will have the opportunity to go to the True Martial Academy, the holy land of the human race, enter the True Martial Hall, and become the most core elite disciple of the holy land of the human race."
Lu Ziqi's smile was full of anticipation, as if Lu Chen would be missing out if he didn't go.
As expected, Lu Chen was quite curious about this. The True Martial Academy, a sacred place of the human race, could not be joined directly. Instead, the most talented human cultivators were carefully selected through four branches and sent to the headquarters for meticulous training.
These are the most powerful forces of human cultivators.
We don't want anyone who isn't a genius among geniuses!
To participate in the Xuanwu Grand Ceremony, one must of course obtain the approval of Master Lu Ziqi; otherwise, one is simply not qualified.
After all, Lu Chen had only just begun his studies.
Once Lu Chen understood this, he immediately became interested.
"I don't know what Master wants me to do? Let me make it clear first, I will not do anything illegal or immoral! That's my bottom line."
Lu Chen's serious expression made Lu Ziqi want to laugh.
Who does this guy think he is?
"I need you to help me find someone. I'll give you this person's details later. Keep it a secret. Once you find this person, report back immediately."
Lu Ziqi's tone seemed casual, but Lu Chen could tell that she took this matter very seriously.
Otherwise, Lu Ziqi wouldn't have gritted her teeth in hatred when talking about this person.
This made Lu Chen secretly wonder, "Could it be Lu Ziqi's old flame? Did he betray her and turn his love into hatred?"
Of course, I wouldn't dare say that.
"Looking for someone? Is that all?"
Lu Chen pretended to be nonchalant, after all, this kind of thing didn't seem to be too difficult.
However, Lu Ziqi shook her head and said, "Let's talk about it when you find it! Remember to contact me anytime."
Lu Chen said righteously, "Yes, sir! Even if Master asks me to go through fire and water, I won't hesitate for a moment. After all, you are the one I fell in love with at first sight! True love conquers all!"
"Get out, get out, get out!"
Lu Ziqi was so embarrassed that her scalp tingled. With a flick of her wrist, she sent Lu Chen flying.
Lu Chen spun around in the air, his body completely out of control. When he finally managed to steady himself, he looked around and realized that he was already outside the mountain gate.
"What a terrifying method."
Lu Chen was secretly shocked.
As expected of the Seventh Elder of Xuanwu Academy, known as the most talented genius in the entire Xuanwu Academy, his strength is truly terrifying.
However, it's worth it.

At the same time, an image suddenly appeared in Lu Chen's mind.
This is a woman of exceptional figure and stunning beauty, dressed in white like snow, like a celestial fairy. Her delicate face has a slight smile, making one unable to resist falling into her gentle charm at first glance.
Lu Chen had a jade slip in his hand, and no one knew when it appeared.
