Wu Tianlei's Request
Zhang Xuanchen chuckled and said:
"Haha, it's my honor Zhang Xuanchen, to be valued so highly by Ruyu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zijing, who was standing next to Yan Ruyu, flashed to Zhang Xuanchen's side.
He rubbed his chin and circled around Zhang Xuanchen a few times.
She even reached out and patted his shoulder.
She murmured, "Xuan Chen, I remember when we last met you were still at the Foundation Establishment, right?"
It's only been a few years, and he's already at the Late Golden Core?!
Did you somehow receive a power boost from some unparalleled expert?
That's not right either.
The cultivation gained through initiation could never be so solid.
Ah, truly, one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation.
I never expected that your cultivation level would have caught up with mine when we met again.
"I can't be lazy anymore, I have to work hard."
Seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen laughed:
"Brother Bai, I didn't receive any empowerment; I just happened to find a rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
To this, Bai Zijing curled his lip and said:
"That's really annoying, kid. You deserve a beating."
What does "luck" mean?
Why doesn't luck happen to me?
That's enough.
Anyway, we're leaving the South Sea soon, and we won't see you again, you guy who keeps getting lucky and breaking through.
"Brother Bai is leaving?"
"Yes, I consulted a fortune teller, and my fortuitous opportunity lies not in the South Sea."
Staying here will prevent you from breaking through to the next level.
We're heading back to the Central Land Immortal Continent.
However, there's one more thing I need to ask you before I leave.
As he spoke, Bai Zijing turned his gaze to Wu Tianlei.
He continued, "This is Wu Tianlei, a veteran member of our Horizon Pavilion."
He also Thunder-Fire Dual Spiritual Root, and is proficient in Thunder Method.
His cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul Peak.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen did not delay and immediately gave him a junior's bow:
"Junior Zhang Xuanchen greets Senior Wu."
"No need, no need for such formalities, Clan Leader Zhang," Wu Tianlei quickly replied.
After witnessing Zhang Xuanchen's talent, Wu Tianlei, despite being Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, showed no arrogance whatsoever.
With this talent and this luck, it's not impossible for him to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage in the future.
Moreover, he also wanted Zhang Wanjun to inherit his mantle.
After Zhang Xuanchen got up.
Wu Tianlei spoke:
"That's right, in the cultivation world, cultivators with unique Spirit Root are extremely rare."
It's very difficult to find someone to carry on the mantle.
I, Old Wu, am the same.
After arriving at the Zhang Family, I noticed Zhang Wanjun and admired his talent and character.
He wanted to take him as his apprentice.
However, the young man refused, saying he already had a master.
There's nothing I can do but ask for your opinion.
Don't worry, I absolutely did not mean to make that kid disown you as his master.
I just wanted to...
"Sure."
"No? Fine... Kill? You agree?" After hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Wu Tianlei's face showed an expression of disbelief.
In fact, after Zhang Xuanchen revealed his talent, he had already prepared himself for the possibility of failing to take on a disciple.
As the saying goes, one who is proficient in all methods is more than capable of teaching Zhang Wanjun, even without practicing Thunder Method.
It's not his turn.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuanchen not only agreed, but agreed so readily.
That's why he had that expression.
Seeing Wu Tianlei's expression, Zhang Xuanchen chuckled and said:
"Of course I agree."
Although I am Wanjun's master, I do not practice Thunder Method.
I can only guide them into the world of cultivation and explain some principles of cultivation.
When it comes to understanding and insight into Thunder Method, I'm afraid my disciple's understanding is far deeper.
Senior Wu's Spirit Root is the same as Wanjun's, and his cultivation is profound.
With your guidance, Wanjun will surely make faster progress.
This is a good thing.
I have no reason to refuse.
Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's candid statement that his understanding of Thunder Method was not as advanced as Zhang Wanjun's, Wu Tianlei was filled with astonishment.
However, I felt much more relaxed at that moment.
The fact that Zhang Xuanchen could say such things is enough to prove that he is not a pedantic person.
He laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Zhang Family Head is truly a remarkable person!"
Most people wouldn't admit to being inferior to their apprentice in any way.
No wonder he was able to train a disciple like Zhang Wanjun.
I admire Old Wu, I really admire him!
As he spoke, Wu Tianlei clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhang Xuanchen to show his respect.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen replied:
"I'm just telling the truth."
Besides, I don't think it's anything shameful.
A disciple need not be inferior to his teacher, nor a teacher necessarily be more virtuous than his disciple.
There is a sequence to learning, and each profession has its own area of expertise.
Everyone walks a different path, and their understanding and insights will inevitably differ.
My senior and my disciple Zhang Wanjun both practice Thunder Method.
It is an honor for him to receive guidance from his seniors.
This was indeed what he was thinking.
Although he was Zhang Wanjun's mentor, he never intended to confine him to the Zhang Family for the rest of his life.
There was no intention to suppress his cultivation.
If Zhang Wanjun could cultivate alongside Wu Tianlei, it would benefit everyone involved.
Why not?
"Haha, what a wonderful saying, 'There is a sequence to learning, and everyone has their own area of expertise!'"
Hearing your words is worth more than reading ten years' worth of books!
Clan Leader Zhang is extremely knowledgeable and has a broad vision; I, Old Wu, admire him immensely!
At this moment, Wu Tianlei was truly impressed by Zhang Xuanchen.
This kind of person is destined for great things!
Not only him, but also Mu Tianyan, Bai Zijing, Yan Ruyu and others were all surprised.
They were surprised by what Zhang Xuanchen said.
Seeing the gazes of the crowd, Zhang Xuanchen chuckled inwardly.
The classic poems of our ancestors are absolutely overwhelming here.
In other words, this world is not a realm where one can attain sainthood through literature.
Otherwise, he would have simply presented everyone with a poem with every step he took.
Become a Confucian sage in seven steps!
Shocking the world, invincible!
Just then, Wu Tianlei took a few steps forward, stood in front of Zhang Xuanchen, and bowed.
Before Zhang Xuanchen could speak, he said:
"Clan Leader Zhang, it's like this, Young Master wants to return to the Central Land Immortal Continent."
Old Wu also needs to return to the Central Lands.
I implore Clan Leader Zhang to allow Zhang Wanjun to come with me.
I Heavenly Dao Oath that as long as I live, I will protect Zhang Wanjun.
During my time at the Zhang Family, I also tutored that kid for a while.
The Thunder Dao Cultivation Method you gave him is very powerful.
However, one must refine the myriad thunderbolts to forge a Thunder Dao Dharma Body.
This means that he is not suited to stay in the Lineage indefinitely.
Otherwise, it will only slow down his cultivation progress.
In the Central Land Immortal Continent, there is a Thunder Sea, a sacred place for thunder cultivators.
"With Wanjun by my side, we will surely be able to lay the most solid foundation in the Dao of Thunder!"
As a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, his cultivation experience goes without saying.
If Zhang Wanjun follows him, he can't guarantee anything else, but he can avoid the vast majority of detours!
Upon hearing that Wu Tianlei wanted to take Zhang Wanjun to the Central Land Immortal Continent, Zhang Xuanchen did not immediately agree.
Lost in thought.
All signs indicate that Wu Tianlei indeed values Zhang Wanjun highly.
Furthermore, if he truly harbored malicious intentions, Mystic Mirror would have already warned him.
Thinking of this, he spoke:
"Senior Wu, this matter depends on Wanjun's opinion."
If he chooses to go to the Central Lands with you, I will not stop him.
