Chapter 197 Becoming an Apprentice
As soon as the fruit entered his stomach, Lu Yuan felt an astonishing energy spreading through his body.
It constantly tears every part of the body apart, and then it repairs itself again.
This cycle repeated itself, making his physique stronger and stronger, eventually allowing him to contain more power.
He didn't know how much time had passed when Lu Yuan felt that his physical body could shatter a mountain peak.
System data popped up in my mind.
[Ninth-Rank Cultivation Technique "Mysterious Primordial Undying Body" (60152/50000 Entry Points, Should I use 10,000 Proficiency Points to Advance?)]
Looking at the data displayed above, Lu Yuan did not hesitate and immediately chose to advance.
As his orders were given.
A complex memory surfaced in my mind.
This is a completely new body-refining technique, many times more powerful than the past.
The body was surrounded by spiritual energy, and under the guidance of the cultivation technique, it began to temper its physical body once again.
"Buzz!"
As the night passed and the lights came on outside.
Lu Yuan clearly felt that his physical body had reached a completely new level.
With just the strength of this body, he can fight against the demon race.
[First-Rank Mystic Skill "Vajra Dragon Elephant Body" (152/1000 Minor Success)]
Looking at the data displayed above, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Now he can say without exaggeration that he can fight any expert of the same level.
And they were not afraid at all.
Then, he stood up.
"Crackling and popping!"
A powerful force spread from his body.
This made Lu Yuan want to roar out loud.
At this very moment, within the Changqing Sect, Sect Master Li Changqing looked at the Grand Elder beside him and said, "I have finished my business, and today I will prepare to take Lu Yuan to the Heavenly Dynasty."
"During my absence, I'll leave the sect in your care, Elder."
"Yes, Sect Master."
The Grand Elder quickly replied.
Li Changqing nodded: "Alright, then send someone to fetch Lu Yuan, and tell him to prepare for his long journey."
"Yes, ma'am."
The Grand Elder responded and withdrew from the hall.
At the same time, in a mansion in the outer city, Chang Mo sat in the head seat, with his other outer disciples following below him.
At this moment, a smile appeared on Chang Mo's lips: "It's been almost half a month, and the sect hasn't paid any attention to Lu Yuan, let alone had any elders accept him as a disciple."
They didn't even teach him the sect's techniques.
This guy doesn't seem to be valued by the elders.
"It's time we made our move. Let's teach Yao Yue a lesson first, and then find an opportunity to cause trouble for Lu Yuan."
In fact, Chang Mo has been deliberately avoiding meeting Yao Yue these days.
He was still unsure whether Lu Yuan had truly been abandoned by the sect, after all, he had heard that Lu Yuan had caused quite a stir back then.
Now, almost half a month has passed, and he still doesn't want to act so quickly.
However, some of the people below couldn't hold back any longer.
If I don't make a statement soon, it might affect my standing in people's eyes.
Even so, to be on the safe side, he decided to make a move against Yao Yue first, to test Lu Yuan's attitude, and then make further plans.
He is quite talented, and his intelligence is certainly not an issue, as he was able to become a disciple of a sect's guest elder.
As Chang Mo finished speaking, the disciples below said, "Senior Brother is right."
Then they rubbed their hands together, ready to seek revenge on Yao Yue.
These disciples have nothing to do except complete their tasks; they either drink or fight with others.
This has become the norm; as long as no one dies, the sect generally won't interfere.
After all, only with competitive strength can one improve.
The Changqing Sect is considered relatively good; some sects even drive their disciples out to fight against the demon race.
Because in this world, the weak have no way to survive.
However, Lu Yuan was unaware of all this, as he had just finished his cultivation and eaten something.
Mangu Tun walked in: "Young Master, someone is looking for you outside. They say they were sent by the Grand Elder."
Ever since they followed Lu Yuan into the outer city, Man Gu Tun and the others have automatically regarded Lu Yuan as their young master.
I am responsible for the safety of the yard every day.
When there's work to be done, I'll do it.
When there was nothing else to do, he would go hunting with Lu Yuan.
Overall, life is going pretty well.
After all, the Void Breaking Realm demons that Lu Yuan killed casually were a considerable fortune for them.
"Let him in quickly and take him to the front hall," Lu Yuan said.
Mangu Tun immediately retreated.
As for Lu Yuan, he also headed towards the front hall.
A moment later, a man in blue robes walked in. He was tall and handsome.
With a friendly expression, he looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Junior Brother Lu, I am Li Jian, the seventh disciple of the First Elder. The Sect Leader wants to see you and sent me to deliver the message."
Upon hearing Li Jian's words, Lu Yuan naturally did not hesitate and quickly replied, "I'll go right away."
However, seeing his reaction, Li Jian chuckled and said, "No rush. The sect leader said you should prepare for a long trip. Otherwise, go and tell your family first."
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, not expecting to be taken on such a long trip. After a moment's thought, he said, "Alright, I'll tell my family right away."
In his view, the sect should not be hostile to him, otherwise, with his current cultivation level, he would not be able to resist at all. The reason why they took him on a long trip should still be related to his talent.
He went to the backyard to say goodbye to Madam Lu, Madam Xiao, and his two wives, and instructed Mangu Tun and the others to take good care of the house. If they encountered any problems that they could not solve, they should go to Meng Tonghou.
Lu Yuan accompanied Li Jian as they headed towards the inner city.
As soon as I stepped into the city gate, a rich spiritual energy rushed towards me. The spiritual energy here was more than ten times richer than outside, and the people walking on the street were all quite powerful.
In short, each of them was far superior to me in terms of level.
A moment later, the two crossed the street and entered a palace.
Unimpeded, upon entering the main hall, the first thing that caught the eye was a figure in blue robes. Although his beard and hair were all white, he exuded a powerful aura.
A vast amount of energy spread throughout his body.
Lu Yuan could see the streaks of light flashing across the other person's body from time to time.
"Greetings, Sect Master," Lu Yuan said respectfully.
The sect leader of Changqing Sect turned around and said with a smile, "No need for formalities. Do you know why I called you here today?"
Lu Yuan shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
The sect leader of Changqing smiled and said, "Your talent is too strong. There is no suitable person in the sect to be your master, so I plan to take you to the Celestial Dynasty to meet my former junior brother."
"I hope he will accept you as his disciple, but this matter is not guaranteed to succeed, so even if it doesn't, don't be disappointed, understand?"
The sect leader of Changqing spoke very gently.
This deeply moved Lu Yuan, because if he were in the Changqing Sect, it would naturally be most beneficial for the sect.
However, there are too many uncertainties when you seek an apprenticeship from someone else.
However, the sect leader of Changqing Sect was still willing to let him go and become an apprentice.
It's clear that he genuinely cares about himself.
Therefore, he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Sect Master."
"Don't be shy, come with me."
After the sect leader of Changqing finished speaking, he waved his sleeves.
Lu Yuan felt a powerful force sweeping towards him, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the sky.
Look down.
One after another, the mountain ranges swept past beneath our feet.
At this moment, he finally realized just how vast this world truly was.
There is no end in sight; sometimes a single mountain range can stretch for hundreds of thousands of miles.
The sect leader of Changqing noticed Lu Yuan's curious gaze and said with a smile, "Little guy, we still have a while to go on the journey. You can take this opportunity to see the grandeur of this world."
When traveling across the mainland, the most important thing is to be able to identify your opponents.
Do you see that place shrouded in dark green fog ahead? It's a demon kingdom, where demon kings roam freely.
Furthermore, with a demon emperor in charge, it can rival the Celestial Empire.
They might even have to take the lead.
The place shimmering with seven-colored light ahead is the ancestral land of the Qilin clan. This clan possesses powerful physical bodies and innate supernatural abilities, making them one of the great clans of the ancient world.
Besides these, there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of other races in the world. Our human race is only considered to be in the middle, and we are often plundered and attacked by other races.
In the Celestial Empire, countless heavenly soldiers and generals are fighting on the front lines, so every bit of human strength is extremely precious, and one should not waste one's talents.
If one day you have the strength, it would be best if you could take care of the sect. If you can't, the sect won't blame you. But remember, you must fight for the human race.
Li Changqing's words shocked Lu Yuan. He had never expected that someone would say such a thing in such a chaotic world.
Perhaps it is because there are such people among the human race that they have been able to survive in this desolate ancient world.
Lu Yuan nodded and said to Li Changqing, "I will certainly follow the Patriarch's teachings."
Over the next few days, Lu Yuan stood atop the clouds and followed the Changqing Sect Master to see many places.
It has magnificent mountains and vast lakes.
The Changqing Sect Master was not invincible, but he knew what to avoid and what to face.
A month later, Lu Yuan finally arrived at a place called Shenyu Tianchao. After entering the border region, he saw a different kind of prosperity, unlike places like Changqing Sect.
Here, everyone in the city is at the Transcendent Realm in terms of cultivation, even the common people.
The soldiers guarding the entrance exuded a powerful aura.
Lu Yuan could sense at a glance that their cultivation was stronger than that of the inner disciples.
"In the Celestial Empire, only those who reach the Profound Body Realm are qualified to become Celestial Soldiers. To become a Celestial General, even the lowest-ranking one, one must break through to the Eternal Realm."
These were just ordinary soldiers in the Celestial Empire, not elite troops.
My junior brother has now entered the Immortal realm, making him the strongest cultivator to emerge from our sect.
He now serves in Yuzhou as the Dean of the Divine Fist Academy at the Yuzhou Academy. We're here to find him; if you can become his disciple, your future will be vastly different.
After entering the city, the Qingyun Sect Master explained the situation to Lu Yuan.
Meanwhile, the latter had guessed some things from their time together.
He looked up and asked, "Sect Master, haven't you been in contact with your junior brother for a long time? Is he no longer in the sect?"
"Hehe, little guy, you're quite clever. I didn't want to tell you this, afraid you'd get nervous. My junior brother has lost contact with the sect since joining the Celestial Dynasty."
However, the previous sect leader was my father, who was also his master. The sect spent a lot of money to train him, so I am his senior brother no matter what.
"I'm taking you with me now, not to ask him for a favor, but just to introduce a talented disciple. He shouldn't refuse, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
As the sect leader of Changqing was speaking...
He then led Lu Yuan to a teleportation array.
"After traveling for so long, we've now arrived within the territory of the Celestial Empire. We can use the teleportation array, which is much safer and more convenient." As the Changqing Sect Master spoke, he poured a large amount of spirit crystals radiating a rich glow into a slot next to the array.
The teleportation array flashed with a dazzling light in the next moment.
Then, Lu Yuan and the Changqing Sect Master disappeared from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was outside a magnificent building.
The large characters above, gleaming with light, clearly read "Yuzhou Academy".
