I Want to Take You as My Master

"I am on the orders of my sect to descend the mountain, slay demons, and eliminate the Demon Sects sect's stronghold. It is my duty."

"Elder Lu is kind and benevolent; he is truly a role model for us all."

"With Elder Lu's help, it will be a piece of cake."

"This is a blessing for the people of our Great Xia."

The scholars of the Xia Kingdom launched into another round of flattery.

"Master, Lian killed two Elders and three disciples of the Reincarnation Hall. What do you think?"

Lian returned carrying the corpse of the Reincarnation Hall Elder at the Nascent Soul Realm Third Layer, only wanting to hear Lu Changsheng's praise.

The Xia Kingdom group fell silent, utterly astonished.

Is this a normal 15-year-old girl?

He single-handedly killed a Nascent Soul Realm Second Layer elder, a Demon Sects Nascent Soul Realm Third Layer Elder, and three Golden Core Realm Demon Sects disciples?

Such talent is almost... too extraordinary.

Lu Changsheng, who trained such Disciple, was truly an extraordinary person.

The Second Imperial Princess of Xia Kingdom sent a Great Confucian back to the Academy of Letters to request the Imperial Preceptor's help.

Lu Changsheng and his entourage awaited the arrival of the Xia Kingdom's Grand Preceptor in Heyang City.

The Xia Kingdom has stood for ten thousand years. Although its foundation is far inferior to that of the Six Great Orthodox Sects, it has still managed to gather a group of cultivators. In addition, many princes and Imperial Princess with Higher Vehicle aptitude have gone to the Six Great Orthodox Sects to cultivate, so the Xia Kingdom also has a certain strength.

In addition, the Xia Kingdom was dependent on Mount Shu, offering a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to Mount Shu every year and receiving Mount Shu protection.

The city lord of Heyang City immediately provided the Imperial Princess and the Mount Shu people with the best residences.

"Daoist Lu saved millions of lives in Heyang City, his Merits are immeasurable. I hereby order an artist to paint a portrait of the Master. The people of Heyang City intend to enshrine the portrait in their homes, burn incense and worship daily, and then choose an auspicious day to have a clay sculpture and painted image of his true form made at the Daoist Temple to protect Heyang City."

The city lord summoned a painter to paint Lu Changsheng's portrait.

Lu Changsheng did not object.

Saving the people of Heyang City is Merit.

When people sincerely worship portraits and clay sculptures, they can generate an invisible Power of Faith that blesses them.

The Mount Shu Dao Ancestor had shown great kindness to the ancestors of the people of Xia Province, and even founded Mount Shu to protect their descendants. For hundreds of thousands of years, the people of Xia Province have never forgotten the Dao Ancestor's kindness, and the incense offerings continue uninterrupted.

Although Lu Changsheng did not yet have the influence of the Mount Shu Dao Ancestor, he still possessed a Power of Faith.

The Second Imperial Princess of Xia Kingdom, Si Yan, hosted a banquet and invited Mount Shu people.

The Xia Kingdom is within the sphere of influence of Mount Shu Mount Shu people, and strengthening relations with them would greatly benefit the Xia Kingdom.

Si Yan, being born into the Xia Kingdom family, naturally understood this principle.

"Daoist Lu, I have a favor to ask of you."

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, a faint blush appeared on Si Yan's pretty face, slightly tipsy.

"Please speak."

Because of the extraordinary status of Mount Shu, the Elders of Mount Shu do not need to be overly polite to the royal family of the Xia Kingdom.

Si Yan said nervously, "I wish to become your disciple, Daoist Master."

Become an apprentice?

Although Lu Changsheng wished he had as many Disciples as possible, the Disciple-Teaching System was completely unresponsive.

Only Peerless Genius recognized by the Disciple-Teaching System can trigger the return of rewards.

The Second Imperial Princess of Xia Kingdom has quite good aptitude; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to reach the Dao Palace Realm.

However, her talent cannot be considered that of Peerless Genius.

Lu Changsheng politely declined. "Your Highness is exceptionally talented, but unfortunately, I already have three disciples and need to attend to my own cultivation. I am unable to take Avatar any more disciples at this time."

The Second Imperial Princess hesitated. "In that case... does the Daoist priest lack maids?"

"Your Highness, you mustn't!"

"How can Imperial Princess of our Great Xia be made a maid?"

The Great Confucian of the Xia Kingdom were shocked to hear that the Second Imperial Princess seemed to want to become Lu Changsheng's maid, and they quickly tried to dissuade her.

The status of Mount Shu surpasses that of the Great Xia Dynasty, but Si Yan is still Imperial Princess, and Imperial Princess at the Dao Palace Realm. For her to serve as a maidservant to Elder of Mount Shu would be beneath her dignity.

"This humble monk has no shortage of maids."

Lu Changsheng knew the other party was using a feigned retreat as a tactic to advance, but still politely declined.

"What a pity."

Si Yan sighed softly.

In her opinion, Lu Changsheng's future achievements would not be limited to the Dao Palace Realm. Becoming his maid would also give her the opportunity to become his apprentice and learn martial arts in the future.

Her talent and beauty were outstanding even in the Great Xia Dynasty, yet Lu Changsheng remained unmoved, truly a peerless master.

Si Yan held it in even higher esteem.

Lu Changsheng and his entourage waited in Heyang City for three days. When the Grand Preceptor, who was in charge of the Academy of Literature of the Great Xia Dynasty, arrived, the entire city of Heyang trembled.

"Lord of Heyang City, respectfully welcome the Imperial Preceptor."

No need for formalities.

The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor wore Four-Cornered Peace Turban and a dark robe, Righteous Qi that commanded respect.

Dozens of Great Confucian from the Academy of Letters followed the Grand Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor.

The city lord of Heyang City was filled with awe.

The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor, in charge of the Academy of Letters, is Great Confucian at the Dao Palace Realm Seventh Layer, and one of the most accomplished cultivators in the Great Xia Dynasty.

What is most remarkable is that the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor was not a disciple of the Six Great Sects, but Great Completion of the Dao Palace Realm expert cultivated by the Great Xia Academy of Letters itself. Even the Emperor of Great Xia treated him with great respect.

"The Imperial Preceptor."

"Your Imperial Princess, I am aware of what happened in Heyang City. The task of eliminating the Reincarnation Hall's stronghold will now be entrusted to our Academy of Letters. With our Academy of Letters's assistance, success is assured."

The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor was somewhat arrogant. With his cultivation at the Dao Palace Realm Seventh Layer, he was considered a leader among the younger generation of Elders in the Mount Shu, let alone in the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Master, this person has quite the arrogant attitude."

Lian curled her lip. "So what if he's only at the Dao Palace Realm Seventh Layer? What's he pretending for?"

Her master was a hermit immortal who lived in seclusion in Mount Shu.

"My disciple, you must not be rude."

Lu Changsheng sighed helplessly; his Disciple was far too outspoken.

The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor noticed Lu Changsheng and his disciple, and frowned. "Young Friend Lu, you saved Her Imperial Princess, and our Great Xia Dynasty will certainly repay you handsomely. However, this attack on the Reincarnation Hall stronghold is extremely dangerous. The Demon guarding the stronghold may be even more powerful than the Old Man Xuelian, and you are no match for him. Your group from Mount Shu can follow my command and join forces with our Academy of Letters to eliminate the Demon Sects stronghold."

"Can."

Lu Changsheng has always been one to play it safe, and when the Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor wanted to step forward, Lu Changsheng didn't stop him.

The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor achieved his current level of cultivation without having trained in the Six Great Sects. Deep down, he was not Qi Ingestion by the Six Great Sects and had some reason to be arrogant.

However, his talent was incomparable to that of his Third Disciple Mo Huazhi.

Mo Huazhi possesses the Literary Sage Physique, and her future is limitless. She is more than capable of Imperial Preceptor in the future.

The Second Imperial Princess Si Yan, flipped her wrist, and a map appeared. "A stronghold of the Reincarnation Hall, located in Tianyu Mountain."

"Set off as soon as possible, launch a surprise attack on Tianyu Mountain."

The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor led the team and flew towards Tianyu Mountain.

"Tianyu Mountain is located between the Xia Kingdom and Liang Kingdoms. It is the border area of the three major sects: Mount Shu, Ask Immortal Pavilion, and Martial Dao Alliance. It is a no-man's-land and doesn't attract much attention. No wonder the Reincarnation Hall has set up a base there."

As Lu Changsheng traveled, he searched for records about Tianyu Mountain in his Sea of Consciousness.

The Great Xia Kingdom Imperial Preceptor secretly observed Lu Changsheng, Lu Changsheng consistently only revealed a cultivation level of the second or third level of the Dao Palace Realm, making him unpredictable. "Why can't I see through this person's cultivation? This shouldn't be..."
