Yun Mengyao

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qingquan."

Lu Wangchuan cupped his hands in thanks, and the other party chuckled.

"No need to be so polite, Junior Brother Lu. Come with me."

The two walked into the Mountain Gate, and Lu Wangchuan's heart couldn't help but be even more shocked.

Although there was only a gate separating them, the spiritual energy inside the Mountain Gate was several times richer than outside, which was simply miraculous.

Chen Qingquan seemed to have noticed Lu Wangchuan's surprise and explained with a smile:

"Generally, sects like ours, situated on the spiritualmeridian of heaven and earth, will specifically engrave formations to suppress it. Otherwise, over time, the spiritualmeridian would dissipate, which would be almost a devastating disaster for the sect."

"So that's how it is."

Lu Wangchuan nodded, and the two walked quickly, soon arriving at the Law Enforcement Hall.

"Junior Brother Lu, this is the Law Enforcement Hall. Your Martial Ancestor is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qingquan."

Lu Wangchuan thanked him and conveniently slipped Chen Qingquan two thousand-tael silver notes.

Chen Qingquan pushed them away a few times, but finally accepted them after Lu Wangchuan's repeated persuasion, and then waited at the entrance.

Lu Wangchuan tidied his appearance and walked straight into the main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Inside, there was an old man with white hair and beard, possessing an immortal aura and a Daoist demeanor. His gaze was imposing, and even though Lu Wangchuan had reached the first level of the Celestial Human Realm, the Condensing Truth Realm, he still felt a faint pressure.

Clearly, his strength had already reached the second secret realm – the Celestial Human Realm, and he was not just an ordinary Celestial Human Realm expert!

Lu Wangchuan didn't look around too much and quickly bowed to the other party, saying:

"Disciple Lu Wangchuan pays respects to Martial Uncle Ancestor."

Elder Cheng nodded, a benevolent smile appearing on his face, and the pressure lessened considerably.

"How is your master?"

"Reporting to Martial Uncle Ancestor, my master is doing well."

"That's good, that's good. I've been looking for him all these years, afraid he might have some negative thoughts. Now that I know he's doing well and has even taught such an excellent disciple like you, I can rest assured.

Your master has already told me in his letter to let you cultivate in the Divine Water Sect. You should have been a disciple of Still Water Peak, but Still Water Peak no longer belongs to Xian Yuan, and Xian Yuan himself has already left the Divine Water Sect.

From today onwards, you will be registered under my Law Enforcement Hall, as a third-generation disciple."

"Yes! Thank you, Martial Uncle Ancestor."

"Still calling me Martial Uncle Ancestor?"

Lu Wangchuan smiled awkwardly.

"Martial Ancestor."

Hearing this, Elder Cheng nodded and smiled slightly.

"A teachable child."

Following that, he raised his hand and tossed out a jade bottle. Lu Wangchuan immediately caught it steadily. Although he didn't open it, the rich blood energy and spiritual energy faintly emanating from the bottle's mouth told him that this was definitely a good item. He thanked him again.

"Thank you, Martial Ancestor."

"No need for formalities. What is your current cultivation level?"

"Reporting to Martial Ancestor, this disciple was previously in the Bone Forging Realm. After cultivating for a long time, I have already broken through to Source Opening."

It was necessary to hide some strength, but completely hiding it was unnecessary. In a place like the Divine Water Sect, where geniuses gathered, if he didn't show a little talent, he wouldn't receive any cultivation, and then the meaning of coming here would be lost.

Elder Cheng's reaction that followed confirmed his thoughts.

"Oh, you've already broken through to Source Opening? Source Opening at seventeen, not bad, very good! You can be directly promoted to a core disciple. Go and have your Senior Brother Qingquan take you to the Library Pavilion to receive a set of extraordinary cultivation techniques."

"This disciple has one more matter to report."

"Speak freely."

"Last night, this disciple saw disciples of the Black Lotus Society killing martial artists who wanted to join the Divine Water Sect outside the Mountain Gate."

"What? Is there such a thing?"

"Absolutely true."

Elder Cheng's expression became solemn.

"I understand. You may go now."

"Yes."

Lu Wangchuan withdrew. Chen Qingquan immediately stepped forward and smiled:

"Junior Brother Lu, what did Martial Ancestor say?"

"Martial Ancestor assigned me to the Law Enforcement Hall as a third-generation core disciple. Then he gave me two pills."

"What? He made you a core disciple right away?"

Chen Qingquan was a little surprised.

"The resources of the Divine Water Sect are ranked according to status. First are the true disciples of each peak, followed by core disciples, elite disciples, and ordinary disciples. Each level requires great contribution to advance. It took me a full twelve years to advance from an ordinary disciple to a core disciple!"

Only then did Lu Wangchuan realize that Elder Cheng had given him such a great benefit. For a moment, he felt even more respect for this old man.

"Right, what pills did Martial Ancestor give you?"

"Just these two."

Lu Wangchuan took out the porcelain bottle and opened it for Chen Qingquan to see. After looking at it, Chen Qingquan's mouth twitched non-stop, and his eyes were full of envy.

"It's actually a Marrow Cleansing Pill and a Divine Blood Pill! You brat... Damn, my teeth are aching. These two pills are impossible to obtain easily without great contribution. I've only exchanged for one Marrow Cleansing Pill so far..."

Lu Wangchuan didn't expect the pills Elder Cheng gave him to be so good. It seemed his backing in the Divine Water Sect was secure from now on.

"Right, there's something I need to trouble Senior Brother Chen with. Martial Ancestor asked you to take me to the sect's Library Pavilion to choose a cultivation technique."

"You are now a core disciple. According to the rules, you can indeed choose an extraordinary cultivation technique. Let's go, I'll take you."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

The two walked towards the Library Pavilion. As they walked, Chen Qingquan explained some of the sect's rules and precautions to him, so that he wouldn't get into trouble later due to ignorance.

Lu Wangchuan carefully noted down each of these matters. After Chen Qingquan had finished explaining, he finally asked:

"Senior Brother Chen, do you know who Still Water Peak is currently under?"

Chen Qingquan looked at Lu Wangchuan with a strange expression.

"Didn't Martial Uncle Lu tell you?"

Lu Wangchuan shook his head.

"This is a painful matter for Master, he has never mentioned it to me. But I swear, I will definitely reclaim Still Water Peak for him, to repay his kindness in teaching me."

Chen Qingquan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Then your wish is probably difficult to fulfill."

After a pause, he said with a heavy tone:

"That senior sister of yours who betrayed Martial Uncle Lu is named Yun Mengyao, and she is the current Peak Master of Still Water Peak. Her talent ranks second in the entire Divine Water Sect among our generation!

Eleven years ago, when she defeated Martial Uncle Lu, she was already in the Dantian Realm. Seven years ago, she even broke through to the first layer of the Celestial Human Realm – the Condensing Truth Realm.

If I'm not mistaken, she should have already reached the mid to late stage of the Condensing Truth Realm by now.

Leaving aside the fact that your cultivation is currently inferior to hers, even if your cultivation were similar to hers, with her talent, she would quickly pull ahead of you again. How could you possibly defeat her and help Martial Uncle Lu reclaim Still Water Peak? Be more realistic."

Lu Wangchuan was quite surprised to hear this. He hadn't expected that woman to have already reached the mid to late stage of the Condensing Truth Realm. It seemed she did have some skill, no wonder Master valued her.

However, a gentleman's word is his bond.

Since he had promised Master that he would reclaim Still Water Peak, he must reclaim Still Water Peak!
