Taking a Disciple, Another Billionfold Return

"I have summoned you all here today not only to announce that Changsheng will succeed as the sect leader, but also to announce that Murong Shi, the eldest disciple of Biyue Peak, will succeed as the peak master of Biyue Peak."

"Could it be the peak master of Azure Moon Peak...?"

"My Senior Sister was already nearing the end of her life, and this Calamity exhausted her lifespan, leading to her passing away."

Taiyuan True Person sighed, and the group of Grand Supreme Elders of Mount Shu remained silent.

More than half of the elders and disciples of Mount Shu died in the battles against the four major demonic sects and the demon race of the desolate state. The peak master of Biyue Peak, who was at the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm, also perished in this catastrophe.

Lu Changsheng was powerless to help.

He possessed a Grade Nine Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, but the Peak Master of Azure Moon Peak had reached his death limit, not been injured, so even a Grade Nine Immortal Pill was powerless to save him.

"Changsheng, before my Senior Sister passed away, she asked me to entrust you with a matter."

"Master, please speak."

"She hopes you can take her youngest disciple, Chen Yao, as your apprentice. Chen Yao possesses the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden Physique; her talent is promising enough to the Ascension to the Immortal Realm, and she might be of help to you in the future."

"Can."

Chen Yao's Nine Heavens Profound Maiden Physique can be recognized by the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator. If this disciple is recruited, there will be six Disciple-Teaching Rebate opportunities every day.

Lu Changsheng never turned down Peerless Genius.

"Junior Brother Lu, from now on, my junior sister will be under your tutelage. I'll need your help in taking care of her." Murong Shi brought Chen Yao over. "Junior Sister, you will become Elder Lu's disciple."

"Master, please accept this bow from your disciple Chen Yao."

Chen Yao's apprenticeship ceremony.

Because of Lin Qingzhi, Chen Yao often traveled between Biyue Peak and Qingyun Peak, and Lu Changsheng would often give her gifts. Therefore, Chen Yao had no objection to recognizing Lu Changsheng as her master, which was also the wish of the Biyue Peak Master before his death.

After Lu Changsheng accepted this disciple, he could see the disciple's information in the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator.

[Name: Chen Yao]

[Race: Human Race]

[Talent: Nine Heavens Profound Maiden Physique, Thunder Spirit Root, Formation Dao Grandmaster]

[Cultivation Level: Dao Palace Realm, Third Layer]

[Dao Bone: 70 Years]

[Merit: 100,000]

[Cultivation Method: Supreme Thunder-Controlling Instruction (High-Grade Upper-Grade Heaven Stage Cultivation Method)]

[Martial Technique: Taiyin Sword Art (Upper-Grade Heaven Stage Cultivation Method)]

[Law Treasure: Five-Thunder Sword (Upper-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasure), Profound Thunder Immortal-Retaining Skirt (Middle-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasure)]

Under the tutelage of the peak master of Biyue Peak, Chen Yao's cultivation speed was quite astonishing.

Zhao Wuyan of Finger Moon Peak took three hundred years to reach the Dao Palace Realm Fifth Layer, and almost four hundred years to reach the Dao Palace Realm Seventh Layer. Chen Yao, on the other hand, reached the Dao Palace Realm, Third Layer in seventy years. This shows how powerful the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden Physique is.

After all, the peak master of Biyue Peak couldn't continuously impart his skills to his disciples like Lu Changsheng; Chen Yao's cultivation speed was normal.

If someone like Lu Changsheng Transmission Empowerment to Chen Yao and provide her with a large number of Medicinal Pills for cultivation, Chen Yao's cultivation level would likely be at the same level as Lin Qingzhi and Lu Qinglian, at the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer.

The peak master of Biyue Peak treated Chen Yao extremely well. Both her cultivation techniques and swordsmanship were Biyue Peak's signature skills, ranked as high-grade Heavenly Rank. The Great Perfection of the Supreme Thunder Control Technique was similar in power to the ninth level of the Great Perfection of the Taiqing Limitless Technique, and it also perfectly suited Chen Yao's "Thunder Spirit Root."

Lu Changsheng currently has no more suitable Cultivation Method to teach Chen Yao; at most, he can teach her the "Heavenly Gang Sword Formation".

Lu Changsheng then casually took out a Flying Sword and the Cultivation Method Secret Manual for the "Heavenly Gang Sword Formation": "You can make do with this Low-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure for now. As for this 'Heavenly Gang Sword Formation,' it's Upper-Grade Heaven Stage Sword Formation Cultivation Method. You can practice it in your spare time, but you should still focus on practicing the 'Taiyin Sword Art' most often."

Thank you, Master.

Chen Yao accepted the Flying Sword and the Cultivation Method, secretly surprised. Innate Spirit Treasure and Heaven Stage Cultivation Method, yet she could only barely use them?

Chen Yao knew that Lu Changsheng treated his Personal Disciples well, but she didn't expect him to treat them this well.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Chen Yao the Low-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure "Thunderbird Sword," receiving a reward Hundred-Millionfold Return the initial investment: Human Race Supreme Treasure Fragment.]

[Today's reward attempts -1, remaining reward attempts for today: 5.]

A second Hundred-Millionfold Return!

Lu Changsheng had been trying to collect fragments of a supreme treasure, and this was the second such fragment Lu Changsheng had obtained.

However, this time the returned items were not Demon Race Supreme Treasure Fragment, but Human Race Supreme Treasure Fragment.

A second metal fragment appeared inside Lu Changsheng's body. This fragment was also only the size of a fingertip, and unlike the Primordial Chaos yellow color of the Demon Lord's treasure fragment, it was crimson.

The appearance of the Human Race Supreme Treasure Fragment created a delicate balance with the Demon Lord's supreme treasure fragment that was originally inside Lu Changsheng's body, with neither making any rash moves.

"I wonder what kind of treasures the Demon Race Supreme Treasure Fragment and the Human Race Supreme Treasure Fragment are within me?"

Judging from the return multiplier, the quality of the treasure was even above that of the Immortal Artifact. Lu Changsheng was even more curious about what kind of Law Treasure he could synthesize by collecting these fragments.

These fragments look as if they were shattered in an epic battle.

However, the fact that even a priceless treasure was shattered is truly astonishing.

With the Dao Integration Realm cultivator, even destroying Top-Grade Immortal Artifact would be difficult.

Lu Changsheng also possesses a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact — the Demon Emperor Cauldron.

There are two clear sword marks on the body of the Demon Emperor Cauldron.

The two Divine Swords, aided by the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship, destroyed the Demon Emperor Cauldron, a Spatial Law Treasure.

The Demon Emperor Cauldron can tear and seal space, and there is a world inside that can hold living beings. It also has the effect of suppressing powerful enemies, and it is not necessarily inferior to the Demon-Suppressing Sword.

The Demon Lord's Law Treasure fell into Lu Changsheng's hands, Lu Changsheng was considering how to repair this Top-Grade Immortal Artifact.

Even if he doesn't need it himself, he can bestow the Demon Emperor Cauldron upon a disciple with a Demon God Body in the future. After all, the Demon Emperor Cauldron is Top-Grade Immortal Artifact forged by the Demon Race.

Repairing the Demon Emperor Cauldron requires some special Artifact Refining materials.

Most Artifact Refining materials can be exchanged at the Mount Shu Treasure Pavilion, while a small number of rare Artifact Refining can be obtained by taking on apprentices.

Lu Changsheng possesses Middle-Grade Immortal Artifact called the "Golden Crow Divine Furnace," which can be used for Artifact Refining.

Lu Changsheng accepted Chen Yao as his disciple and brought her back to Azure Cloud Peak.

"From now on, she will be your junior sister."

Lu Changsheng gathered a few disciples and gave them a brief introduction.

Chen Yao frequently visited Azure Cloud Peak and got to know several of its disciples.

The disciples are ranked according to their time of entry into the sect. Chen Yao entered the sect the latest, so she is the Sixth Junior Sister.

Lin Qingzhi discovers that his Senior Sister Chen Yao has actually become his junior sister again?

"Master, should I address Chen Yao as Senior Sister or Junior Sister?"

"Whatever you want."

Lu Changsheng didn't care; they were all his disciples anyway, and he could Disciple-Teaching Rebate.

"From now on, you must continue to cultivate diligently and raise your cultivation to the Void Refinement Realm as soon as possible. Only then can you be considered to have truly entered the path."

Lu Changsheng was also hoping that these disciples would reach the Void Refinement Realm, so that he could reward them with Lu Changsheng Immortal Artifacts.

Is the Void Refinement Realm merely the entry level?

The six disciples of Azure Cloud Peak were under immense pressure; their master's expectations of them were perhaps a tiny bit too high.
