I heard people around me talking like this.
"How is this possible?! How could our young master possibly have a third-grade, unaffiliated yellow spiritual root? The testing stone must be broken!"
"The testing stone definitely won't break. Young Master... he really is a third-grade, non-elemental yellow spiritual root!"
"It doesn't matter. So what if that's the case? Throughout history, there have been many who became saints and ancestors without spiritual roots. Our young master can do it too!"
"Well said! If our predecessors could do it, our young master can certainly do it too!"
"Even if it really doesn't work out, so what? We'll try our best, and the family will provide resources for the young master. We can still help him reach the Ancestral Realm!"
"That's right, exactly!"
"..."
Hearing such discussions, how could Lu Chuan not be surprised?
This... didn't follow the script at all!
Shouldn't it be the clansmen who ridicule them, the elders who despise them, and even the dogs that bark at them?
This scene is truly unexpected.
At this time,
As the young master, Shi Feng naturally wanted to thank the clan members before returning to his residence.
No sooner had he returned to his residence than several clan elders arrived.
"Elder, Fifth Elder, Ninth Elder..." Shi Feng greeted them one by one.
The elders nodded kindly, showing no sign of disdain.
"Feng'er, spiritual roots are important, but for a family like ours, they are not the only thing. Many powerful ancestors had useless spiritual roots, but they still reached the highest realm in the end. You must not give up on yourself!" the elder said.
After saying that,
The Fifth Elder chimed in, "That's right, kid, don't be discouraged. We'll find you a suitable Heavenly Spiritual Root to transplant in the future."
The other elders were the same, their love and compassion coming from the bottom of their hearts.
"Rest assured, elders, Feng'er understands. Since our predecessors could do it, I certainly can too. I will not let you down!" Shi Feng said.
Seeing Shi Feng like this, the elders all took it to heart. Now that the patriarch was not present, the young master could not be in any danger. Since the young master was like this, the patriarch must have a solution. If all else fails, resources can be piled up to solve the problem.
With the departure of the elders, the courtyard became quiet.
Lu Chuan's voice rang softly in Shi Feng's ear, "Do you want to become stronger and live up to your family's expectations?"
Upon hearing this,
Shi Feng's expression changed instantly, "Who?!"
Lu Chuan's figure appeared before him. Looking at Lu Chuan, Shi Feng's eyes flickered, "How did you get into my Shi family?"
Given the abundance of powerful figures within the family, the fact that this person was able to enter the Shi family so quietly suggests that their cultivation level must be exceptionally high.
Lu Chuan replied casually, "I just came in like that, and I've been here the whole time, from the test until just now! I have to say, those elders are really kind to you."
What? !
It's always been there...?!
For some reason, Shi Feng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. The elders were among the most powerful figures in the world, yet this person had been there all along without them noticing. This… his cultivation had already reached the Ancestral Realm? Perhaps he was not much weaker than his father!
Then, Shi Feng relaxed. Such a powerful person would not want to kill him. If he really had the intention to kill, he would be reduced to ashes with a single thought. Why would he need to waste words with him?
"What do you want?" Shi Feng asked, his tone already unconsciously polite.
He had to be polite; with such cultivation, how could he dare to be presumptuous? Even if his father were here, he would still have to be this polite.
“Of course I want you to become my disciple. What do you say, young man? Are you willing?” Lu Chuan said.
Shi Feng was slightly taken aback, then said, "Why me?!"
“Why can’t it be you!” Lu Chuan retorted.
Shi Feng: Uh...!
At this moment, Shi Feng pondered for a moment. Such a powerful person seemed to have no reason to want anything from a good-for-nothing like him. Then... what about his family?
He is not just himself; he is also the young master of the Shi family, so he must be cautious.
Seeing Shi Feng's expression, Lu Chuan knew what the guy was thinking. "What, do you really want me to tell you? Fine, I just love challenges. Teaching a piece of trash to crush a genius, tell me, isn't that satisfying!?"
Shi Feng: ? ? ?
wipe!
If that's really the only reason, then I really shouldn't have asked. It's heartbreaking!
At this moment, Lu Chuan's voice continued, "Don't worry, I have no designs on your family, nor is there anything I want. Even your father, if I wanted, I could kill him with a single move. That's all I have to say. Make your own choice."
After saying that,
Silence fell over the room. Lu Chuan didn't take his father's claim of killing him with a single move seriously; he was obviously just bragging. But since he dared to make such a boast, his cultivation level must actually be above his father's. After all, although his father was at the Ancestral Realm, which was the highest level in the world, he was not invincible among Ancestral Realm cultivators.
"Disciple greets Master!"
This was Shi Feng's final decision.
Upon seeing this,
Lu Chuan smiled faintly, "Get up!"
As the words fell,
Shi Feng stood up, grinned at Lu Chuan, and said, "Master, what do you think of this apprenticeship ceremony..."
"Look at you, you're such a filial child. Your master doesn't care about the gifts, but I appreciate your sentiments. The best gift you can give your master is to cultivate diligently in the future," Lu Chuan said with a playful tone.
Shi Feng: Huh?!
That's not what I meant at all!
this……!
Never mind, I'm too embarrassed to say anything more!
Seeing Shi Feng's expression, Lu Chuan couldn't help but smile. "Alright, silly disciple!"
"As your teacher, I will first expound the Way to you and impart the methods of cultivation. As for the apprenticeship ceremony, I will give it to you naturally later!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Feng naturally realized that his master had been teasing him.
Shi Feng couldn't help but purse his lips. His master was probably quite old, so why was he still teasing a child? Really...!
Subsequently,
Lu Chuan preached to Shi Feng and taught him cultivation techniques, including the Devouring Heaven Technique, which contained three thousand great Daos. It allowed him to plunder the opportunities and spiritual energy of heaven and earth, continuously improving his spiritual root. Moreover, the absence of a fixed spiritual root became a blessing, as he was able to incorporate all elements into his unfixed spiritual root.
With seven elemental roots, all of which could be upgraded to the highest level of Holy Spirit Root, Shi Feng could hardly imagine what it would be like to truly reach that stage.
Not only does it affect spiritual roots, but the Devouring Heaven Technique also has a significant impact on physical cultivation, and it is also extremely powerful.
After imparting his cultivation techniques, Lu Chuan's gift to him was to reshape his bones and meridians, and upgrade his Yellow Spiritual Root to Earth level, saving him several years of arduous cultivation. If it were not higher, there would be a risk of forcing growth. Lu Chuan really wanted to upgrade him directly to Heaven Spiritual Root.
After all, time was becoming increasingly tight for Lu Chuan, but this was still acceptable, as it greatly shortened the time.
In a flash,
Half a year has passed.
Shi Feng's improvement over the past six months has been remarkable, but no one in the family knows about it. This is because Lu Chuan is deliberately covering up for Shi Feng, and it is not the right time to reveal it yet.
On this day
Shi Feng's father, Shi Xuanshan, has returned!
