Immortal Seedling

Wu Qingfeng was startled when he heard Lu Zhou say that.

He had only begun lecturing the three of them on the scriptures yesterday. Although he had been explaining how to use the Mystic Methods recorded in the Dao Sutra to sense one's own Wheel of Life,

based on Wu Qingfeng's many years of cultivation experience, he knew very well that it was difficult to cross the threshold through cultivation alone.

Even Li Weiwei, publicly acknowledged as the greatest cultivation genius in all of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, had needed a transmission elder to expend his own immortal energy every day to guide her when she had first begun cultivating and sensing her Wheel of Life. Only after several days had Li Weiwei sensed her own Wheel of Life.

But now,

Lu Zhou had merely listened to his lecture for one day. Without needing Wu Qingfeng to guide him with his own immortal energy, he had already sensed his Wheel of Life.

The old man was shocked and immediately examined him personally.

In the end, it was indeed confirmed that Lu Zhou had sensed his own Wheel of Life.

Could it be that Lu Zhou's cultivation aptitude is even better than Weiwei's?

Perhaps it has something to do with the Saint Fruit and sacred spring he consumed!

Wu Qingfeng could not help thinking this to himself.

With that thought in mind, he smiled at Lu Zhou.

"Very good. Since you have sensed your Wheel of Life, you can next begin trying to guide the Vital Energy hidden within it and use it to strike at your Sea of Bitterness!"

"Today, I will focus on explaining to the three of you how to open up your Sea of Bitterness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fan and Pang Bo both congratulated Lu Zhou, without any jealousy.

After eating and living together for many days, and having fought side by side more than once before, the two of them had become very, very close with Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou encouraged them, saying that he believed they too would soon sense their Wheel of Life.

After that, all three of them listened attentively as the old man lectured on the scriptures.

That night, Lu Zhou sat cross-legged on his bed, his consciousness entering the Qiankun Pearl.

He "saw" a large mass of liquid floating within the Qiankun Pearl.

Bound by some sort of force, it hung in midair like a ball of water.

It was the Empress Sacred Spring Lu Zhou had collected in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

He drew out a drop of the sacred spring and directly absorbed it into his body.

Then, he began circulating the cultivation method from the Dao Sutra.

In an instant, he felt his body fill with incomparably dense Vital Energy.

He mobilized that Vital Energy and relentlessly struck at his Sea of Bitterness.

After roughly an hour, under the constant washing of vast amounts of Vital Energy, he finally opened up a Sea of Bitterness about the size of a date pit.

His Sea of Bitterness was no different from that of an ordinary person. Even its initial size was about the same.

The next day, when Wu Qingfeng came to lecture the three of them again, Lu Zhou still spoke frankly to him.

"Last night, I tried following the guiding method you taught us, Elder, gathering the Vital Energy in my Wheel of Life to strike at my Sea of Bitterness. I didn't expect that in only about half an hour, I successfully opened up my Sea of Bitterness."

Wu Qingfeng, Ye Fan, and Pang Bo were all stunned again upon hearing this.

When Wu Qingfeng had explained the method of opening up the Sea of Bitterness yesterday, he had said that even a genius like Weiwei, who could enter a holy land to cultivate, had only successfully opened up her Sea of Bitterness several days after sensing the Wheel of Life within her body.

Wu Qingfeng immediately examined him once more.

Very soon, he sensed the Sea of Bitterness beneath Lu Zhou's navel.

Then, the old man no longer planned to lecture the three of them today. After telling Lu Zhou and the others to wait, he rode a rainbow toward Lingxu Grotto-Heaven's main hall.

He was going to see the sect master of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven.

The cultivation talent Lu Zhou had displayed was simply too monstrous. Judging from the current situation, it was even stronger than Weiwei's.

With something like this happening, Wu Qingfeng did not dare conceal it or delay. He had to report it to the sect master at once.

After he left, Pang Bo punched Lu Zhou in the shoulder and laughed.

"Not bad, Lu Zi. Didn't expect you to be this badass. You'd better look after Ye Zi and me in the future!"

Ye Fan also smiled.

"I can see it now, Lu Zi. You were born to make a living cultivating immortality!"

"Hehe! Of course!"

"Why aren't you two calling me Big Brother already? Acknowledge me as your big brother, and I'll take care of you from now on. I'll make sure everything's arranged just right for you. Any goddesses or holy maidens you want, Big Brother's got you covered."

"Pfft, what the hell are you dreaming about? If you want to be our big brother, wait until you become immortal."

"Exactly. You've only taken one step ahead of us for now. Who knows which of us will be the big brother in the future?"

"You said it yourselves. If you won't acknowledge me as Big Brother now, don't regret it later."

In response to Lu Zhou's words, Ye Fan and Pang Bo skillfully gave him the middle finger.

Scenes like this had already happened many times since they arrived at Lingxu Grotto-Heaven.

They had entered their usual mode of joking and trading barbs.

Not long afterward, several rainbow streaks descended before them.

Wu Qingfeng had arrived with the sect master of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven.

Next, the sect master of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven personally examined Lu Zhou's Sea of Bitterness.

A smile appeared on his face.

He immediately confirmed Lu Zhou's status as an Immortal Seedling of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven.

At the same time, he gave Lu Zhou several bottles of Hundred Herbs Liquid and intended to move him somewhere with denser essence for cultivation.

Lu Zhou asked whether he could bring Ye Fan and Pang Bo along.

After pondering briefly, the man nodded and agreed.

That very day, Lu Zhou and the others moved.

Over the following days, Wu Qingfeng still came every day to lecture them on the scriptures.

More than ten days later, Pang Bo also sensed his Wheel of Life.

Only Ye Fan remained as he had in the original work, unable to sense his Wheel of Life at all. His Sea of Bitterness was as solid as stone, yet after cultivating each day, he felt clear-headed and invigorated, his energy overflowing and his strength steadily increasing. A single arm held the force of several thousand jin; together, they possessed the strength of one elephant.

Wu Qingfeng lectured them on the scriptures for two months. After two months, Pang Bo and Ye Fan, just as in the original work, began cultivating at Lingxu Cliff.

As for Lu Zhou, the cultivation talent he displayed was even greater than Weiwei's, despite her Immortal Spirit Eye.

In less than two months, his Sea of Bitterness had expanded from the size of a date pit to the size of an egg, and several dozen Divine Patterns had condensed within it.

This thrilled the sect master of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven beyond measure.

If Lu Zhou could also be sent by him into Yaoguang Holy Land to cultivate, as Weiwei had been, then he would surely receive rewards from Yaoguang Holy Land once again.

When Lu Zhou told him

that if he had more cultivation resources, his cultivation speed should be even faster,

the sect master of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven immediately raised Lu Zhou's monthly allocation of Hundred Herbs Liquid from ten bottles to thirty.

As a result, Lu Zhou's cultivation speed truly became even faster.
