I Treated You as Senior Brother, Yet You Treated Me as a Fool? New Book, Please Bookmark
Pill Hall.
The Hall Master listened to the Weapon Forging Hall Master's endless chatter with a face full of shock.
"Ascending in broad daylight?"
Li Xian was utterly stunned.
"Ascending in broad daylight might be a bit exaggerated, but based on the strange phenomena from some days ago, I can conclude that the disciple the Sect Leader took in is at least at the Nascent Soul stage. Conservatively speaking, he should be in the Body Integration Realm. If we dare to think bigger, the Soul Division Realm isn't impossible either."
The Weapon Forging Hall Master, Fire Refining True Person, said this.
"Is your source reliable?"
Li Xian could not help asking.
"What do you mean, reliable or not? Think about it yourself. Senior Brother Sect Leader is practically about to ascend—why would he take in a disciple at such a critical juncture? If he weren't a heaven-sent genius, how could Senior Brother possibly accept him? And to put it bluntly, Senior Brother Sect Leader might have had an Ominous Premonition, but could the Heaven's Secret Sect Leader also be so old that his eyes had gone dim?"
"Most importantly, I've met that person once. To be honest, at first I truly thought an immortal had descended to the mortal world. That bearing, that appearance—it was simply beyond compare."
Fire Refining True Person spoke with utmost seriousness, though he was also deeply excited.
"That's what I thought! No wonder Liu Qing was willing to fight tooth and nail just to have his son stay by Lu Changsheng's side. So Lu Changsheng is actually this extraordinary! Oh dear, oh dear, no, no—I must also have my son follow Lu Changsheng. If Lu Changsheng truly ascends in the future, my son can catch some immortal aura too. Perhaps in his lifetime, he might even ascend as well!"
Li Xian said with a face full of regret, but he quickly rallied and made up his mind.
"Then why aren't you hurrying over? All the senior and junior brothers have gone to find Senior Brother Sect Leader already. I even heard that a Supreme Elder personally stepped forward, wanting his own descendant to remain by Lu Changsheng's side. If you don't seize the time, you won't even get to eat their dust."
Fire Refining True Person said sternly.
At those words, Li Xian immediately rose to his feet and, without another word, rushed straight toward the Great Luo Immortal Palace.
At the same time.
Great Luo Immortal Palace.
Inside the main hall.
Qingyun Daoist was somewhat dumbfounded. Why had this group of senior and junior brothers suddenly rushed over like madmen, bluntly demanding that their descendants stay by his disciple's side to learn immortal arts?
How could Qingyun Daoist not be bewildered?
Learn immortal arts? Lu Changsheng had cultivated for three years and was only at the Qi Refinement stage. What was there to learn? Learn how a Golden Core could turn into Foundation Establishment in ten years, and how Core Formation could become Foundation Establishment in three years?
Had this lot taken the wrong medicine?
"Senior Brother, we have shared eight hundred years of friendship. Do you remember when we went to the Loulan Ancient Kingdom together? I took a blow from the Blood Fiend Earth Demon for you. Look, the scar is still here. I've never asked you for anything in my life. I only ask that you let my son follow behind your disciple and learn immortal arts. If you refuse me, I'm not leaving today."
The Array Hall Master shouted loudly, directly dragging up old debts and invoking favors from the past.
"Old Xu, you old immortal, taking one blow for Senior Brother—what does that even count for? Senior Brother, do you remember? Fifteen hundred years ago, not long after we entered the sect, you were moved by mortal desires and went to the Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion. Master nearly discovered you. Who took the blame for you? Me—your Seventh Junior Brother. I ask for nothing else, and I know my end is drawing near. The only thing I cannot let go of now is my son. Let him stay by Changsheng's side and learn some Dao arts. If you refuse even this, then before I die, I'll tell the entire world about the things you did back then."
The Moral Hall Master spoke, his face full of righteous conviction and his attitude unyielding.
"Seventh Junior Brother, don't spout bloody slander. How could cultivators like us ever be swayed by mortal desires? Can't we discuss things properly?"
Qingyun Daoist wanted to cough up blood. These senior and junior brothers usually looked so amiable, yet at a critical moment, they turned on him at the drop of a hat, leaving not the slightest scrap of face.
"Junior Brother Sect Leader, stop talking nonsense. Haven't you always liked my Ancient Jade Chessboard? I'll give it to you, chess pieces included. I have only one condition: my son must stay by Changsheng's side. Even if all he does is serve tea and pass water, that's fine."
"Hiss, you old bastard. You can even say something like serving tea and passing water? Aren't you going to consider your son's feelings at all?"
"Junior Brother Xu, since you've cast aside all shame, don't blame your senior brother for being ruthless. Senior Brother Sect Leader, Master gave me a Great Luo Ancient Mirror back then. Haven't you always liked it? I'll give it to you. You only need to arrange for my son to stay beside Changsheng. I'd even be willing for him to sweep floors and do odd jobs."
The crowd chattered away, each person talking over the next. If a single sentence rubbed them the wrong way, they began cursing each other. There was not the slightest bearing of an immortal sect among them. If Great Luo disciples saw this, they would likely be struck dumb.
"Wait! All of you, wait! Silence! Silence!"
Qingyun Daoist spoke. With a wave of his hand, terrifying Dharma power crashed down, silencing everyone at once.
"Tell me first—what exactly happened?"
Qingyun Daoist truly could not understand what had happened. Why had this group of senior and junior brothers suddenly gone mad, all sending their precious sons over?
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, stop hiding it from us. Your disciple is a heaven-sent genius, an unparalleled prodigy. He entered the sect only three years ago, yet his cultivation is unfathomably deep. They say he has already reached the Soul Division Realm, surpassing the blue and outshining the blue. Our meaning is simple: we want our descendants to stay by Changsheng's side and properly learn cultivation. We ask for nothing else."
"Yes, yes, yes, we ask for nothing else. As long as Changsheng is willing to take my son along, that's enough."
"Senior Brother, you really haven't been very decent about this. Back when Master passed the sect leadership to you, we weren't all that angry. We understand why you hid an unparalleled prodigy from outsiders, but why hide him from us? He's already in the Soul Division Realm, yet you still kept it secret? Were you planning to tell us the truth only after he ascended?"
"That's right."
"Hmph, Junior Brother Qingyun, when Master passed the position of Great Luo Sect Leader to you, I thought you were honest and incomparably sincere. I could overlook you hiding it from them, but you even hid it from your senior brother? In short, if you don't let my son follow Changsheng, we'll settle old and new grudges together."
"That's right, settle them together."
Inside the main hall, dozens of high-ranking figures shouted in protest.
Qingyun Daoist truly did not know what to say.
"Who told you that Changsheng has already reached the Soul Division Realm?"
Qingyun Daoist could not help asking.
"Who needs to tell us? I knew it the moment I saw him!"
"Good, very good, Senior Brother Sect Leader. I treated you as my senior brother, yet you treated me as a fool?"
"Junior Brother Sect Leader, are you still putting on an act?"
"Stop pretending. Who in the entire Great Luo Holy Land doesn't know that Changsheng has already reached the Soul Division Realm?"
"Could it be that he truly underwent tribulation?"
"Eh, looking at Senior Brother's expression, that really might be possible."
The more they spoke, the more outrageous it became.
And Qingyun Daoist was dumbfounded once again.
Soul Division?
Tribulation?
Wasn't he at the Qi Refinement stage?
Wait!
At that moment, Qingyun Daoist thought of something.
He could not see through Lu Changsheng's cultivation.
Lu Changsheng's realm was something Lu Changsheng himself had said.
What if Lu Changsheng had lied to him?
After carefully pondering it over and considering everything.
In an instant, Qingyun Daoist slapped his thigh and came to a sudden realization.
"Fine! You even deceived your master! Utterly unfilial! Utterly unfilial!"
"Senior and junior brothers, wait here. I'll go find my disciple right now."
After saying this, Qingyun Daoist left directly.
At the same time.
Lu Changsheng, who still had no idea what was happening.
Had written out another brand-new pill formula.
An indescribable joy appeared on his face.
