Taking a Master

"Junior Brother Shi Yi, the Dan River has flooded, and the situation is quite serious. It's good that you could rush back in time."

"Give me the household registration documents and the relocation documents, and I'll help you transfer your household registration to Anyuan Town."

Zhao Cheng and Shi Yi walked out from the backyard.

Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

He could tell that Shi Yi was even more important in Lu Feng's eyes!

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Brother!"

"These are some specialty dried fish and cured meat I brought back from the Dan River. Please don't dislike them, Senior Brother."

Shi Yi took out the dried fish and cured meat he bought from the Dan River, which were local specialties.

They weren't expensive, but they expressed his feelings.

A thousand miles send goose feathers, a small gift carries a heavy meaning.

"It just so happens that I've been wanting to eat dried fish and cured meat lately, so thank you, Junior Brother Shi Yi!"

Zhao Cheng accepted them with a smile.

Even though they were ordinary items, he didn't dislike them, and of course, this also had to do with the fact that Shi Yi was the one giving them.

"Next, Junior Brother, you should focus on cultivating in the Martial Arts School and break through to the Blood Essence Realm as soon as possible."

"When that time comes, I can teach you the follow-up moves of the Blood Essence Chapter that you want to learn."

Zhao Cheng continued.

He knew that Shi Yi had always wanted to learn the follow-up moves of the Blood Essence Chapter, but Lu Feng had specifically told him when teaching him that in martial arts cultivation, it was best to proceed step by step and not rush for success.

"Yes, I will cultivate diligently from now on and break through to the Blood Essence Realm as soon as possible."

Shi Yi nodded solemnly.

It had been eleven days since he started cultivating at the Anyang Martial Arts School.

In another four days, he would be able to reveal his Blood Essence Realm cultivation.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

The day after he returned to the Anyang Martial Arts School, the weather cleared up. He checked the cameras at home after returning, and no one had visited his home.

Shi Yi had basically been cultivating diligently at the Anyang Martial Arts School these past few days.

As for the flood at the Dan River, the roads had collapsed, making it difficult to enter or exit.

Fortunately, Shi Yi had not chosen to stay, otherwise, he would have been trapped at the Dan River, affecting his future cultivation.

As for the pen-shaped magnifying glass he bought on Earth, its delivery speed was a bit slow. According to the progress on the shopping app on his phone, it would take another two days.

This made Shi Yi's idea of carefully studying the Bodhi seed have to be postponed!

One day, Shi Yi was practicing the first three moves of the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist at the Anyang Martial Arts School, and his Blood Essence grew stronger.

Until a certain moment, the aura on Shi Yi's body changed.

Zhao Cheng, who was watching Shi Yi cultivate from the side,'s eyes lit up. He knew very well the changes happening to Shi Yi.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Shi Yi, on breaking through to the Blood Essence Realm."

"Come, let's go see Master and tell him the good news."

After seeing Shi Yi's aura gradually stabilize, Zhao Cheng directly pulled Shi Yi towards the backyard.

Lu Feng had mentioned to him that Shi Yi should be able to break through to the Blood Essence Realm within these few days, a few days earlier than he had predicted.

He still had some doubts about this, but looking at Shi Yi's current state, it was clear that Lu Feng's judgment was better.

A look of joy appeared on Shi Yi's face, and he followed Zhao Cheng into the backyard.

"Master, Junior Brother Shi Yi has broken through to the Blood Essence Realm!"

Zhao Cheng arrived at the pavilion in the backyard and said quickly upon seeing Lu Feng.

He had watched Shi Yi go from an ordinary person to the Blood Essence Realm. This cultivation progress was also the fastest he had seen in the Anyang Martial Arts School.

"Yes, good. Your Blood Essence is strong, and your foundation is very stable."

"You've practiced the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Strength Training Fist very well."

Lu Feng looked at Shi Yi and nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, Shi Yi's Blood Essence surged, and his aura was a little unstable, which was normal after just breaking through to the Blood Essence Realm.

It would only take some time to calm down.

These external manifestations also allowed him to see some of Shi Yi's circumstances.

"Now that you have broken through to the Blood Essence Realm, do you still want to stay in the Anyang Martial Arts School?"

Lu Feng looked at Shi Yi and asked solemnly.

Even though there was an agreement before, he still asked again at this moment.

This was because he knew that people's hearts were easily changed, especially after their status and strength changed.

"Disciple Shi Yi, greetings, Master!"

Shi Yi reacted quickly upon hearing this.

Since he had already made his choice, he wouldn't change his mind now.

At the Anyang Martial Arts School, both Zhao Cheng and Lu Feng had helped him a great deal. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to obtain his Anyuan Town household registration and become a resident there.

While this identity might not seem very useful, he knew that it was necessary for renting a place or even just living in Anyuan Town.

Some hidden troubles had been directly eliminated!

"Good! Good! Good!"

"From now on, you are my thirteenth disciple, Lu Feng."

Lu Feng laughed heartily upon seeing this.

He was happy both to have taken Shi Yi as a disciple and that his judgment of the person was correct.

Character was also a factor considered when taking on disciples.

From Zhao Cheng's reports over the past few days, he had a good understanding of what kind of person Shi Yi was.

The previous questioning had been both a test and a trial.

"Congratulations, Master, on taking on a new disciple."

Zhao Cheng offered his congratulations at this moment.

He could guess Shi Yi's choice and Lu Feng's reaction.

Having spent more than ten days with Shi Yi, he understood him well. Shi Yi had good character and was someone worth befriending.

"The disciple acceptance ceremony will be held in three days at the martial arts school. Some of your senior brothers and sisters will also be here, and you can get to know them then."

Lu Feng said to Shi Yi.

Within a martial arts school, the difference between a registered disciple and a formal disciple was significant. A registered disciple was merely in name, and no grand ceremony was needed; the master and disciple merely needed to meet and acknowledge their relationship.

However, taking on a formal disciple meant receiving the master's inheritance. If the master had a problem, the disciple would step up, and they shared in each other's glory and suffered together.

If the disciple caused trouble, the master would also help them out.

The relationship was on an entirely different level.

Therefore, it needed to be publicly announced.

Five Tigers Gang.

"You're saying that a disciple appeared at the Anyang Martial Arts School who advanced to the Blood Essence Realm in fifteen days and might have been taken as a disciple by Lu Feng?"

Shangguan Hu, the Gang Leader of the Five Tigers Gang, said as he looked at Yu Daqiang.

While such cultivation progress couldn't compare to the genius disciple from the Taiyuan Martial Arts School back then, it was still very outstanding. His bone structure must be of the upper-tier, and his potential was immense.

"We were cultivating in the front yard of the Anyang Martial Arts School at the time, and suddenly felt a change in Shi Yi's aura, similar to those who had broken through to the Blood Essence Realm that we'd seen before."

"Afterward, Shi Yi was brought to the backyard by Zhao Cheng, and it's highly likely that Lu Feng took him as a disciple!"

Yu Daqiang quickly elaborated on everything he had witnessed.

Some information was unconfirmed, but he could basically guess the rest.

From the fact that Shi Yi was personally taught by Zhao Cheng from the beginning, it was evident that Shi Yi was no ordinary person.

Previously, when Zhu Liang had planned to send people to investigate, they suddenly disappeared together. Yu Daqiang initially thought someone behind Shi Yi had intervened, but after careful observation, he realized that was not the case.

Shi Yi's background was ordinary; he merely possessed high talent in martial arts cultivation.

Later, the Five Tigers Gang investigated and concluded that the Jinyang Gang and Blood Sword Hall were responsible for Zhu Liang's abduction, which further confirmed to Yu Daqiang that Shi Yi was not involved.

After Zhu Liang and the others disappeared, he was assigned the task of investigating their whereabouts, with his focus being on the vicinity of the Anyang Martial Arts School.

It was only when Shi Yi advanced to the Blood Essence Realm that he specifically returned to the Five Tigers Gang to report.
