Lu Zhining's small face instantly turned pale as she felt the pressure from above the Lu Family.
Lu Wuhen, who was originally recuperating in the secret chamber, also widened his eyes at this moment.
What kind of misfortune has the Lu Family fallen into recently?
They just sent away a Void Immortal, and now another one has arrived?
Meanwhile.
Li Zhōujūn, who was resting in his room, naturally sensed this openly displayed Void Immortal level aura.
He then heard the System's prompt.
[Ding: Detected a Void Immortal level evil Array Spirit, preparing to target the host's future female disciple. The System has issued a mission. If the host drives away this entity, generous rewards will be granted!]
"This Array Spirit just won't give up," Li Zhōujūn smiled slightly, flicked his finger, and a sword light immediately shot out, transforming into the Ao Xue Flying Sword, heading straight for the Array Spirit's location.
The Array Spirit, which was originally in the sky, lost in its own triumph and laughing maniacally, suddenly saw a sword light fly out from an unknown room and strike directly at it.
"A mere sword control technique, and you think you can deal with me... Damn it! A ninth-grade immortal sword?!"
The Array Spirit, which had a slight smile on its face, was so shocked that its eyes widened instantly upon sensing the aura of the approaching flying sword.
It could never have imagined that such a small Lu Family could hide a True Immortal?
A simple and unadorned sword light flashed. The Array Spirit, with its Void Immortal cultivation, didn't even have time to react before it was cut in half at the waist, its two halves beginning to dissipate.
"I am not reconciled..." Before dying, the Array Spirit's eyes showed a venomous look, but it was useless. After all, facing a True Immortal, its mere Void Immortal cultivation was not enough.
The Ao Xue Sword, after slaying the Array Spirit, flew back into Li Zhōujūn's body in the blink of an eye. It came and went quickly.
[Ding: Congratulations to the host for successfully eliminating the evil Void Immortal level Array Spirit!] [Ding: The System has issued rewards: 'Sixth-grade Extreme Cold Sword Array!'] [Ding: The System has issued rewards: 'Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivation!'] [Extreme Cold Sword Array]: A sixth-grade spirit array, capable of trapping and killing Void Immortal level powerhouses!
"As expected, these are good things!" Li Zhōujūn was delighted upon seeing this.
"The aura of that Array Spirit has disappeared?"
At the same time, Lu Zhining was startled when she felt the aura of the evil Array Spirit gradually vanishing.
And Lu Wuhen, in the secret chamber, opened his mouth wide.
He could guess with his toes that it was definitely that Mr. Li who had made the move. Only an expert like a True Immortal could act so decisively, killing a Void Immortal as easily as crushing an ant.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuhen felt a little happy for his granddaughter.
That evening, after Lu Wuhen emerged from seclusion, he intended to visit Li Zhōujūn. But he thought that it was late at night, and if he disturbed Mr. Li's rest, wouldn't that be counterproductive?
So, the next morning, Li Zhōujūn woke up from a pleasant dream. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Lu Wuhen bowing to him and saying, "Thank you for intervening last night, Mr. Li."
Li Zhōujūn smiled slightly, "It's nothing, just a small effort."
"Please don't be so modest, sir. If you hadn't acted, my Lu Family would have been wiped out overnight," Lu Wuhen said with lingering fear.
The cultivation world was like this. Even if you were a renowned family, if you offended someone you shouldn't have, being wiped out overnight was a common occurrence.
Clearly, if Li Zhōujūn hadn't been at the Lu Family last night, the Lu Family would now be nothing but ruins.
Li Zhōujūn smiled and said nothing.
"Sir, I have already instructed the servants to prepare breakfast. Please join us," Lu Wuhen said.
He saw that Li Zhōujūn often acted like an ordinary person, and knew in his heart that this True Immortal had reached the level of returning to simplicity, his actions indistinguishable from a mortal. Whether he ate breakfast or not, it was always right to have it prepared.
"Old Master Lu is truly too kind. Then I, Li, will respectfully accept your offer," Li Zhōujūn chuckled.
Following Lu Wuhen to the main hall, a sumptuous breakfast was already laid out on the table.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and call that girl to perform the ceremony of apprenticeship," Lu Wuhen said.
Li Zhōujūn waved his hand, "We cultivators are not bound by trivialities. As long as that girl acknowledges me as her master, these formalities can be waived."
As a modern person transmigrated to this world, Li Zhōujūn was still unaccustomed to the customs of this cultivation world, where kneeling and bowing were common.
"It is admirable that you are not bound by trivialities, Mr. Lu," Lu Wuhen said with emotion.
"Greetings, Mr. Li, Grandfather." Just as they were speaking, Lu Zhining appeared, standing gracefully at the doorway.
"You, girl, why are you still calling him Mr. Li? Call him Master," Lu Wuhen quickly said to Lu Zhining.
"Ah..."
Lu Zhining was slightly stunned, then glanced at Li Zhōujūn, and finally called out, "Master."
"Good, if you call me Master, then from this day forward, you are my disciple, Li," Li Zhōujūn smiled slightly. "I will give you a meeting gift."
Saying that, Li Zhōujūn's mind moved, and a formation was directly imprinted on Lu Zhining: "This is the Extreme Cold Sword Array. It will automatically trigger when you encounter danger."
"To set up a sixth-grade formation with a mere thought, truly worthy of a True Immortal expert. It is terrifying indeed!" Lu Wuhen's reverence for Li Zhōujūn grew even stronger.
"Thank you, Master," Lu Zhining said respectfully to Li Zhōujūn.
Clearly, she hadn't realized that the Extreme Cold Sword Array was a sixth-grade formation.
Meanwhile, Li Zhōujūn also began to size up Lu Zhining. The Taiyin Body, also known as the Taiyin Immortal Body. Lu Zhining, only sixteen years old, had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and this was thanks to it.
Otherwise, relying solely on her top-grade Spiritual Root, it would have been quite difficult to achieve this.
[Ding: Congratulations to the host for successfully taking on a disciple!]
[Ding: The System has issued a reward, 'Heaven Slaying Sword Technique!']
[Ding: The System has issued a room reward, 'Taiyin True Scripture!']
[Heaven Slaying Sword Technique]: Divided into three forms: Heaven Opener, Heaven Severer, Heaven Slayer!
[Taiyin True Scripture]: The exclusive cultivation technique for the Taiyin Body!
"Doesn't the name 'Heaven Slaying Sword Technique' sound a bit chuunibyou? System, are you useless at naming things?" Li Zhōujūn complained.
[Ding: Host, do not spout nonsense, or you might lose your little..."thing".]
"Uh..." Li Zhōujūn grinned wryly.
"Master, may I leave a few days later? My father and mother are returning in a couple of days, and I want to see them," Lu Zhining asked Li Zhōujūn.
"Naturally," Li Zhōujūn replied with a smile.
Lu Wuhen slapped his forehead and said to Lu Zhining, "How could I almost forget about this? You, girl, will take Mr. Li to the lantern festival the day after tomorrow, understand?"
"Okay!" Lu Zhining breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that Li Zhōujūn would leave in a hurry, and she wouldn't be able to see her parents one last time.
"Also, you girl need to properly thank Mr. Li. If Mr. Li hadn't stepped in last night to eliminate that Void Immortal, our Lu Family would be gone by now," Lu Wuhen added.
So it was this cheap Master of mine who made a move last night!
But he could actually eliminate a Void Immortal? What cultivation level did this cheap Master have?
Could he be a mighty Integration Stage cultivator?
Thinking of this, Lu Zhining gasped, no wonder Grandpa wanted me to apprentice so badly.
