Apprenticeship Gift Package
"Teaching on behalf of others?" Zhao Xing caught the key words in the Gu Luo River's words and was taken aback.
According to Zhao Xing's own experience, Gu Luo River is already Demigod.
Demigod is Emperor Lord Realm on the path to becoming Divine Realm.
However, the Reincarnation Emperor Lord was still strengthening his true spirit and had not found a way to break through, so he could only continue to cultivate in the direction of "strengthening his true spirit".
The Demigod, on the other hand, have found their own path. Although it is unknown whether this path will be successful, compared to the Emperor Lord Realm, the Demigod are moving forward on their path, while the Emperor Lord Realm is still going in circles.
"Although my performance in the final assessment was not bad, there are many geniuses who are more amazing than me. The chances of the Gu Luo River accepting me are very small. But now that they are saying this, it seems that Qing Yuzi is exerting his influence."
If Meng Wu could retain his memories, then the Demigod Gu Luo River was certainly entitled to know as well.
Guiding himself was probably part of the deal between Qing Yuzi and the Empire.
"I'm willing," Zhao Xing replied quickly.
He hadn't originally considered the Gu Luo River, but since Lao Qing had given his advice, the Gu Luo River was naturally the better choice!
The only drawback is that Gu Luo River is only teaching on his behalf and giving him guidance, and does not intend to actually take on any disciples, which means that the connection between the Gu Luo River and himself will not be very deep.
In other words, he was taking on the karma from Lao Qing, not himself.
"Come with me." Gu Luo River's expression was calm, and his words showed no emotional fluctuation. Just as Zhao Xing had guessed, he only regarded teaching as a job and did not involve personal feelings.
The apprenticeship process didn't last long. The geniuses in Seaweed City quickly found their respective teachers and prepared to Shi Xin phase.
However, after the apprenticeship ceremony ended, a piece of news caused a sensation among the geniuses.
"Damn, a Demigod has come forward to take on disciples at this Primordial Convention."
"Gu Luo River, that's the Gu Luo River who's known as the strongest Demigod! He actually took on a disciple."
"The Divine Realm rarely participates in worldly affairs; they might not even show up in a war between ancient kingdoms. They usually only appear in racial wars. Demigod are the strongest beings we can encounter in our lifetime."
"Demigod- level powerhouses are also rare. It has been 250,000 years since Demigod took on a disciple in the Primordial Beginning Realm, let alone the strongest Demigod, Gu Luo River Agricultural Official, who took on a disciple. The biggest event was when the seventy-two Emperor Lord Realm took on disciples."
"Who did the Gu Luo River take in? Was it Tuo Sen?"
"No, I heard it's Zhao Xing, the Agricultural Official in the Beihe Star System."
"Oh? It's not Tuo Sen, one of the Six Holy Sons, but someone else?"
"The so-called Six Holy Sons are just a nickname used by outsiders; there's no such concept in the Primordial Beginning Realm."
"I wonder what's going on behind the scenes. He's really lucky."
"I'm so envious."
The news of the Gu Luo River accepting disciples spread, making Zhao Xing famous.
He was originally only known among the Sino Genius, but now all the geniuses participating in the Primordial Convention have heard of him!
Because Gu Luo River only took in Zhao Xing.
However, it is up to the Gu Luo River to decide who to take on as a disciple. The Primordial Beginning Realm opens once every three thousand years, and many geniuses flock there every so often. Of course, only under special circumstances will Demigod come out to take on a disciple.
Otherwise, it would be the Reincarnation Emperor Lord has more time and energy, who would step in.
The Beihe Star System, the Lord's Mansion.
"What? Zhao Xing has become Gu Luo River's disciple?"
When Lord Yang Lin of Lord Beihe heard the news reported by Qiao Song, he was immediately stunned.
"Are you kidding me?"
Zhao Xing was eliminated in the second round of the finals, only reaching the top 80 level, while Gu Luo River was the strongest Demigod.
Even for the elite Reincarnation Lord Beihe, Gu Luo River was someone he looked up to.
They actually took Zhao Xing as their apprentice?
"My lord, it is absolutely true. The Primordial Convention has completely ended, and the promotional materials have been sent to the administrative regions of all star systems in the Empire."
Lord Beihe immediately checked and then confirmed that Zhao Xing had indeed been accepted as a disciple by the Gu Luo River.
"Hahaha, that's so true."
Yang Lin couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When he saw the third round, he only felt that Zhao Xing had a great chance of entering the Primordial Beginning Realm.
It will be a long time before Zhao Xing grows up and repays his hometown and the kindness he has shown to others.
After all, Zhao Xing is only at the Grand Mystic Power Realm now. If he really wants to be useful, he would need to be at least at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm to ask for this favor.
But now that Zhao Xing has paid homage to the Gu Luo River, things are different.
It probably won't be long before Zhao Xing brings a return to the Beihe Star System!
Lord Beihe was naturally pleased that his long-term investment had been transformed into a short-term one.
"The Beihe Star System will definitely experience a period of rapid development in the future, and I will benefit from it."
The Lord Beihe was overjoyed, and waved his hand, "Guards, prepare a victory celebration banquet!"
"Invite all the important officials from Fengdu World Star and the Great Zhou Dynasty here."
"Zhao Xing's territory, Sky Blue Star, is under construction. Let's add more funds to upgrade the territory to a higher standard and make it more complete."
"Besides"
On this day, the Lord Beihe issued many orders, most of which revolved around Zhao Xing.
The core principle is this: although Zhao Xing can't come back, as long as he asks, we must make sure he feels the care from his hometown!
The Beihe Star System, the Wuye Constellation, and the Fengdu World Star.
At this time, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty received official news that Zhao Xing had successfully passed the Primordial Beginning Realm assessment and had become an apprentice of a Demigod.
"I thought Grand Harmony King, Liu Tianning, was powerful enough, having become Lord Qianhua's disciple, but I never expected the Grand Minister of Agriculture to be even more formidable, attracting Demigod to become his disciple!"
"Haha, that's why Zhao Xing is truly the Grand Minister of Agriculture!"
"Just how powerful is Demigod? The Lord Beihe personally hosted a banquet, and even invited us officials?"
"Brother Ye, you don't understand. The Reincarnation Realm is divided into Ordinary, Senior, Elite, and Emperor Lord Realm. Above Emperor Lord Realm is Demigod. Lord Beihe is only an Elite Reincarnation Realm cultivator, not even Emperor Lord Realm."
"There are at least eight or ten thousand imperial lords like him, while Gu Luo River, who is known as the strongest Demigod, is simply incomparable."
"I see." Ye Yukong nodded as if he understood. "Gu Luo River used Source Origin Divine Weapon to hoe the ground, Lord Beihe could only use a wooden hoe."
Everyone: "..."
The entire Great Zhou was filled with joy and celebration, a truly lively and festive occasion.
Zhao Xing's clone left in China disintegrated automatically during the final assessment of the Primordial Convention.
He was unaware that the Lord Beihe had been holding a Star Festival for him for thirty years.
After being taken away by the Gu Luo River from the Seaweed City, Zhao Xing entered the Gu Luo River's [Internal World].
Star Shifting, the world changes.
Zhao Xing felt a soft touch under his feet. Upon closer inspection, he realized that what was supporting him was an enormous leaf.
"Hmm? This is— Resilient Vine? And of Emperor Grade quality?" Zhao Xing was startled.
It's not because this vine is rare; on the contrary, the Resilient Vine is the cheapest vine-type unit.
Its growth ceiling is only at the Ascension Realm; in the grading of plant quality, it is just an ordinary weed.
However, it is now of Emperor Grade quality, at its peak.
The key point is that, in the data on the panel, there is no mention of "Derived Seed" after "[Resilient Vine]".
In other words, this is Original Seed and has not undergone mutation or grafting.
"How could they have broken the growth cycle without altering the very essence of life?"
Zhao Xing can also make the Illusion Star Mushroom very strong, breaking its original growth limit.
However, after the modification, it becomes a different species and can no longer be called the Illusion Star Mushroom.
It should be called Adamantine Mushroom, Green Poison Empress, Void Mushroom, etc.
He looked around and realized he had landed on an asteroid. The asteroid was only about one-tenth the size of a low-level Realm Star.
The entire planet was enveloped by a lush, verdant grassland. On this grassland, there was only one enormous vine.
Zhao Xing stepped back and looked at the Resilient Vine, which was only about 100,000 meters tall.
If the Emperor Grade quality is at its peak, it corresponds to the Reincarnation Realm of the Human Race.
However, the Resilient Vine only reach a height of 100,000 meters. All of this seems to have shattered Zhao Xing's inherent understanding of plant life.
Even in his previous life, he had never witnessed such a situation, and this was his first time visiting the [Internal World] of the Gu Luo River.
"How about it?"
"Amazing, perfect!" Zhao Xing exclaimed sincerely. In the eyes of the egoist Si Nong, such resilient vines...
It's an absolute treasure! No amount of money, wealth, or beauty can compare to it.
It is also incredibly perfect in itself; the structure of each leaf looks so natural.
Like Resilient Vine, it was meant to grow this big!
The key point is that the asteroid within the Gu Luo River's Internal World has a spiritual energy index of only 5.
It's simply unbelievable that such an environment could sustain Emperor-Grade Vine.
"Whoosh~" Gu Luo River condensed a phantom in his Internal World and carried Zhao Xing on a stroll on the asteroid.
"After you enter the Primordial Beginning Realm, you will receive cultivation resources allocated by the Primordial Beginning Realm. These resources will then be delivered to Seaweed City and handed over to you."
"I will not give you any extra resources, but if you have any doubts about cultivation, you can enter my Internal World to cultivate at any time, and you can also ask me questions, but only for cultivation."
Zhao Xing understood. Gu Luo River was making it very clear that the only connection between them was in cultivation.
It was "official business," and there was no "personal relationship" involved.
You can seek answers to your questions about cultivation, but don't come to him with personal matters.
For example, if Zhao Xing gets into a dispute with someone, Gu Luo River will not act as his ally.
Even if Zhao Xing encounters danger in his future adventures, the Gu Luo River will remain unmoved.
Seeing that Zhao Xing understood, Gu Luo River stopped talking and went straight to the point.
"I have prepared a total of twelve cultivation sites for you within my Internal World, all based on the Life Great Dao."
The first training ground was to study this Resilient Vine.
"With this, you can come and go as you please, and you can ask me any questions you may have."
Gu Luo River tossed over a jade talisman with the three characters "Gu Luo River" written on it.
"Teacher, I have a question." Zhao Xing took the jade talisman and immediately asked the question while the iron was hot.
"Given my current situation, how should I allocate the initial cultivation resources I obtain from the Primordial Beginning Realm?"
Gu Luo River looked at Zhao Xing and then said, "You're following the mass troop buildup approach, and there are three directions that you absolutely cannot ignore."
"Source Origin Space, your Source Origin Space is neither large nor strong enough."
"Among the resources provided by the Primordial Beginning Realm, there are two types: Five Elements Source Stone and Yin Yang Source Stone. You will also receive a certain amount of initial points, which you can consider using to purchase these two treasures."
"Secondly, the Daoist temple. You are currently in the Lunar Yin Ninth Order Daoist Temple. It will be very difficult to advance further and transform into the Sun Dao Field."
"Ordinary methods of comprehension are no longer feasible, because it is extremely difficult to expand one's training ground within the Major Divine Ability Mirror. I suggest you exchange for a chance to go to the [Primordial Beginning Ocean] for comprehension."
"Thirdly, it is mental will. No matter what school of thought the Agricultural Official, no matter what kind of spell he wants to cast on Plant Soldier, if he does not have a strong enough mental will, he will not be able to subdue the troops, and there will be no point in talking about anything else."
"Therefore, willpower and mental fortitude are especially important, particularly for the mass army strategy."
"There are many ways to enhance one's willpower and soul strength in the Primordial Beginning Realm; you can look them up yourself."
"Thank you, teacher. I won't bother you any longer." Zhao Xing tactfully took his leave.
He hasn't yet obtained the initial resources provided by the Primordial Beginning Realm, nor has he acquired any new cultivation techniques or secret methods. Asking any more questions would be pointless.
Let's digest the initial resources distributed by the Primordial Beginning Realm first.
When Zhao Xing reappeared in Seaweed City, he found that a month had passed in the outside world.
"The flow of time within the Gu Luo River's Internal World is different from that of the outside world; he has probably already touched upon the Time Great Dao."
"Unfortunately, this 'teacher' can't become a reliable mentor."
Thinking of this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but reminisce about Tian Hou, Liu Tianning, Li Boqian, Heavenly Yang True Lord, Xu Xing, and Meng Kun from the Profound Yellow World era—
In the cosmic version, Zhao Xing currently has two teachers: Qing Yuzi and Gu Luo River.
The former never taught him a single day; instead, he led him in life-or-death battles.
The latter is a completely non-stick pan.
Unlike the teachers in the Profound Yellow World, who didn't care about public or private matters, they were truly dedicated to anything concerning Zhao Xing!
However, if Zhao Xing puts himself in the Gu Luo River's shoes, he can understand the situation.
They had no need to take on disciples; they were only focused on breaking through to the Divine Realm. Teaching on their behalf was simply a transaction with Qing Yuzi.
"However, the Gu Luo River has prepared twelve places for me to meditate, all of which involve the Life Great Dao. This is already quite a 'grand gift package' for becoming an apprentice."
Regardless of the school of thought, the foundation of the Self School's Si Nong is the comprehension of the Great Dao of Life. Gu Luohe is a demigod, so even if he prepared it casually, it is still a unique cultivation resource.
"Being indifferent now doesn't mean being indifferent in the Gu Luo River. With so many divine skills, does he think he can just run away after encountering me?" Zhao Xing's current panel can't detect what Gu Luo River can do, but he has seen it in his previous life. As long as he digs slowly, he will eventually be able to dig out this old man's treasure.
Once I've mastered Gu Luo River's ultimate technique, even if Gu Luo River doesn't want to acknowledge it, I'll still be his successor!
"Let's go get the initial points from the Primordial Realm first." Zhao Xingfei headed towards the [Treasure Vault] in the eastern district of Seaweed City, where geniuses would collect their initial resources.
