"Teacher? Is it a teacher?" Zhang Long and Zhou Qing were both stunned.
The two of them had a great opportunity back then. When they were working in Feilong City, they met the greatest benefactor of their lives.
Being accepted as Lu Yuan's disciples, although only outer disciples, they both knew that this was an opportunity to become an immortal that hundreds of millions of people would never have in their lifetime.
Relying on the skills taught by their teacher, the two of them practiced hard for tens of thousands of years and eventually achieved success. Now, Zhang Long has become a Mahayana cultivator.
Zhou Qing is slightly worse, but he also has the cultivation level to cross the peak of tribulation.
Originally, the two of them came here today to check the situation at the Fire Crystal Mine and to see the group of mountain dragons.
After all, the Zuanshan Dragon was left behind by their teacher, so the two of them naturally had to take care of it.
Now, the cultivation of this group of mountain dragons has been upgraded to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Their own strength is already very powerful and needs to be controlled. But fortunately, this group of mountain dragons have no other hobbies or ambitions. Their only interest is to dig stones in this fire crystal mine.
So the two of them handed over the fire crystal mine entirely to the group of mountain dragons.
It was just that the two of them hadn't expected to see their teacher again here. But then again, hadn't the teacher already ascended to the immortal realm? Why was he here?
Zhang Long was excited. After seeing his mentor again after many years, he naturally wanted to invite Lu Yuan to his home to entertain him.
Lu Yuan had not originally planned to go, but then he thought about it and realized that after accepting these two disciples, he had not taken care of them for so many years, and he felt a little guilty about it, so he nodded in agreement.
Anyway, I will stay here for a few more days this time, so this little bit of time is nothing.
When he came to the Zhang family, Zhang Long's cultivation level improved, and the status of the Zhang family also rose with the improvement of the realm of Zhang Long, the ancestor of the Zhang family.
The Zhang family’s mansion is very grand. In Feilong City, it is a top-notch force, just like Zhou Qing’s Zhou family.
Feilong City itself is an ancient city given to Lu Yuan by the ancient country of Dagan, so after Lu Yuan, there has been no new city lord in Feilong City, and the ancient country of Dagan has not taken back the city, so theoretically, Lu Yuan is still the city lord of this city.
It’s just because Lu Yuan has not been in Feilong City for so many years, so Zhang Long and Zhou Qing have been managing it on his behalf. It is reasonable for their families to grow in Feilong City.
In the Zhang family's hall, Lu Yuan sat in the first seat. Zhang Long and Zhou Qing each brought the younger generations of their families to pay homage to the ancestor.
After tens of thousands of years, the families of Zhang Long and Zhou Qing have been well multiplied and inherited after them. Now both of them have quite large families with many branches.
According to Zhang Long and Zhou Qing, their families have been passed down for more than a hundred generations.
This is all due to the teachings of our ancestors. Otherwise, how could the Zhang and Zhou families become such prosperous families today?
It was a coincidence that Lu Yuan came today and happened to encounter a competition between the younger generations of the Zhang and Zhou families.
Because Zhang Long and Zhou Qing were both outer disciples of Lu Yuan, they came from the same sect, and they practiced the same kind of martial arts, so the relationship between them has been very good over the years, and the relationship between the two families is naturally very good as well.
Therefore, for tens of thousands of years, the Zhang and Zhou families have had the habit of holding martial arts competitions among the younger generations every 10 years.
Of course, the purpose is not to determine a winner, but to take this opportunity to test the potential and achievements of the younger generations.
Lu Yuan arrived just in time, so the two of them invited the ancestor to watch together to test the fighting and collision between the younger generation.
Lu Yuan was quite interested in this.
He hasn't been in contact with young people for many years. All he does all day is deal with a group of old guys in the fairy world who are thousands or tens of thousands of years old. They are lifeless.
It would be nice to get in touch with the young people of today and experience that youthful vigor again, so Lu Yuan agreed.
A little later, the competition between the younger generations of the Zhang and Zhou families began. There were a total of hundreds of younger generations from the two families participating in this family competition.
Compared with the current family size of the Zhang and Zhou families, hundreds of younger generations are already a very basic number.
There were a large number of people participating in this competition, and because Lu Yuan was present, it became an unprecedented event for the Zhang and Zhou families.
Not only did the two family ancestors, Zhang Long and Zhou Qing, watch the game in person, but also the legendary first leader and founder of the Beizhou Alliance, who had ascended to the fairyland tens of thousands of years ago, came to watch in person.
Almost all the important people in Feilong City came, wanting to catch a glimpse of the legendary Alliance Leader Lu.
In addition, the younger generations of the Zhang and Zhou families were also excited after hearing the news.
Although there were rewards in previous family competitions, the top leaders of the two major families would each give out some good things as rewards to the top few winners of the competition.
The things given are not bad, but for many younger generations of the Zhang and Zhou families who are core disciples and already enjoy top resources, they are not very attractive.
Therefore, in many previous family competitions, the truly core younger generations of both the Zhang and Zhou families did not show up to take action.
But this time it is different. The master is watching the game here in person, so the situation is naturally different. The rewards of the game are not important. What is more important is to be able to show up in front of the master.
If you can gain the appreciation of the master, you may have the opportunity to become his disciple. If you can become a disciple of the legendary master, then you will have a truly bright future.
After all, everyone in Feilong City knew that the ancestors of the Zhang and Zhou families were accepted as outer disciples by the legendary ancestor, which is why they became the two powerful families today.
The core disciples of the Zhang and Zhou families naturally did not want to miss this opportunity to show up in front of their ancestor, so many core disciples came out and joined the competition.
This competition saw the emergence of the true geniuses of the younger generations of the Zhang and Zhou families.
In the Zhang family, several true disciples came out of retreat to prepare for this competition.
These several true disciples are determined to win first place in the competition.
The same is true for the Zhou family. Some geniuses who previously disdained to participate in the competition have now emerged and announced in a high-profile manner that they will participate in the competition and take the lead.
In the Zhou family, there is a talented boy named Zhou Lin, who was specially summoned by the ancestor Zhou Long before the competition.
Zhou Lin is the strongest among the younger generation of the Zhou family, and is also the top prodigy that the Zhou family has been cultivating in secret.
His talent is the best in the Zhou family in tens of thousands of years. It has never been shown to the outside world before and has been cultivated in secret, but this time is an opportunity.
If he could be appreciated by his master, Zhou Lin's future achievements might even surpass Zhou Long's.
Zhou Long specifically told Zhou Lin to perform well in the competition and bring honor to the family.
Zhou Lin is also full of confidence. He has never had any doubts about his talent and strength. Along the way, he is invincible among the younger generation of the Zhou family and has never been defeated.
Although he had never fought against the genius of the Zhang family, Zhou Lin had absolute confidence in himself.
After being summoned by the ancestor, Zhou Lin came out and was immediately flattered by a group of young people from the Zhou family.
"Brother Lin, what did the ancestor say to you?"
Zhou Lin said, "The ancestor told me to perform well and strive to win first place in the competition, so that I can show my face in front of the ancestor. If I do that, I might have a chance to become his disciple."
A Zhou family junior immediately echoed him, saying, "That's inevitable. We all know how strong Brother Lin is. Although many of the Zhang family's core disciples are also very strong, they are definitely no match for Brother Lin."
"The family has been hiding Brother Lin for so many years just to make him a big splash. Now is a good opportunity. If he can show his face in front of the Grandmaster, there is a high probability that Brother Lin will be accepted as a disciple by the Grandmaster. His future is limitless."
"Brother Lin, if you really want to become the Grandmaster's disciple, don't forget us."
"Yes, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget each other."
Zhou Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are all brothers of the Zhou family. If I really had that opportunity, how could I forget you all?"
Zhou Lin didn't think it was difficult to be accepted as a disciple by the master.
As long as his strength and talent are strong enough, there is no reason for the master not to accept him. After all, he has known that he is a genius from the elders of the family since he was very young. The master loves talents so much, there is no reason for him not to accept him.
Not only Zhou Lin thought so, many other people in the Zhou family thought so.
At the same time, Lu Yuan didn't know that both the Zhou and Zhang families had this idea. At this moment, he was busy dealing with the mountain dragon.
The main reason why he returned to the Qingtian world from the fairyland this time was the matter of the Zuanshan Dragon. He was worried about going outside the domain to dig for Hu crystals because the Hu crystals outside the domain were indeed difficult to dig.
If he wanted to refine a large amount of materials for the Demon City puppets, he had to speed up the mining process, which required better excavation tools. However, the only useful excavation tool Lu Yuan had at hand was the Gengjin Flying Sword.
When he had no other choice, he thought of the special existence of the Drilling Dragon. He returned to the underworld to see if the Drilling Dragon could quickly mine the Pot Crystal.
In the Zhou family's quiet place, Zhang Long and Zhou Qing were standing guard outside for the ancestor, and no one disturbed them.
Lu Yuan took out a piece of pot crystal from the quiet place and placed it in front of the Zuanshan Dragon.
He said to the Zuanshan Dragon, "A Zuan, try to see if you can split it open."
The dozen or so mountain dragons took a look at the pot crystal in front of them and seemed to be very interested. They surrounded this piece of foreign pot crystal and began to examine it. Finally, they showed joy.
I saw a mountain dragon knocking on the extraterritorial pot crystal with the meteor hammer on its tail, as if there was some kind of energy in it that made it excited.
Although this group of mountain dragons are divine beasts, to be honest, their IQ is not high. Although they are now a group of divine beasts that have survived the tribulation, they still cannot transform or speak.
But Lu Yuan still realized that this pot crystal seemed to have a special effect on the mountain dragons, which was why they were so excited.
He asked, "Can it be broken?"
Several mountain dragons showed a look of relief on their faces. They saw the meteor hammers on their tails rise up, and then suddenly hit the piece of foreign pot crystal into several pieces and scattered them.
Lu Yuan was also shocked when he saw this scene.
Because only by mining it yourself can you know how difficult it is to mine this pot crystal.
Although Lu Yuan's strength is now comparable to that of a Golden Immortal, it is difficult for him to split the extraterritorial pot crystal so easily when using the Gengjin Flying Sword, let alone others.
It seems that this mountain-drilling dragon is really talented in breaking restrictions and mining ores.
Lu Yuan made the right decision on this trip. He almost left the real mining beast to live out in the lower realm. Now that he has this Drilling Dragon to take to the outside world, the mining of Hu Crystal is no problem at all.
If the mining of pot crystal is not a problem, then Lu Yuan's Tianmo City medicine man puppets can be produced in large quantities.
This also solved Lu Yuan’s biggest dilemma at the moment.
The matter of the Zuanshan Dragon has been finalized, and Lu Yuan is waiting for the competition between the Zhang and Zhou families to end. He will then leave this world and return to the fairyland to make preparations before going out of the domain.
The next day, the competition between the Zhang family and the Zhou family began.
It has to be said that after tens of thousands of years of reproduction and development, the families of Zhang Long and Zhou Qing have indeed grown immensely, and countless geniuses have indeed emerged from the Zhang and Zhou families.
It was astonishing, but at the same time, it also made Lu Yuan happy.
Because the more geniuses there are in the Qingtian world, the stronger the world power of this world will be. Then the more world origin power this world will feed back to itself, which is naturally better for itself.
Moreover, if the talents produced by the current Qingtian world can ascend to the fairyland in the future, they will basically be equivalent to the future talent reserve pool of Lu Yuan's Daluo Xianzong.
He was naturally happy to see such a talent appear. Ever since he successfully attained the Three Flowers of Heaven last time, Lu Yuan had become increasingly clear about the path he wanted to take, and educating all living beings was the path he wanted to take.
Seeing that everyone in the world is like a dragon, how could he not be happy?
After a family competition, many talented people emerged from the Zhang and Zhou families. Seven days later, the competition ended, and the winner was a younger disciple of the Zhang family named Zhang Yuan.
Zhou Lin from the Zhou family won second place. This result surprised the Zhou family, but they were also convinced.
Because Zhang Yuan is really powerful and defeated Zhou Lin head-on in the competition. It seems that not only the Zhou family has hidden talents, but the Zhang family does too.
Today it was also because of the appearance of the Grandmaster, otherwise neither Zhang Yuan nor Zhou Lin would have easily revealed their true strength.
After the competition ended, Lu Yuan distributed the final rewards himself, which served as an encouragement to the younger generations of the Zhang and Zhou families.
Zhang Yuan and Zhou Lin both looked at Lu Yuan with great anticipation.
Zhang Long and Zhou Qing also followed and said, "Teacher, these two children are the most talented among our descendants. What do you think?"
Lu Yuan nodded and praised, "Indeed, it's good. Cultivate it well. After ascending to the immortal realm in the future, you can enter our Daluo Immortal Sect to practice."
As Lu Yuan spoke, he took out two books of martial arts techniques.
"I also watched your fight just now. These two techniques are in line with your respective cultivation paths. You should study them carefully. You will surely achieve immortality in the future."
At the same time, Lu Yuan looked at Zhou Lin and commented.
"You have great talent, but your biggest flaw is your arrogance. In that battle between you and Zhang Yuan, if you hadn't been so arrogant and looked down on the enemy, it wouldn't have been so easy for Zhang Yuan to win.
In the Immortal Realm, who among those who ascend to become immortals was not one who, in the lower realms, possessed extraordinary talent and defied fate to change their destiny? If one cannot learn the heart of a mortal, one's path to immortality will not last long. (End of this chapter)
