"Is the martial law at the Phoenix Cry Sect still in effect?"
"I wonder what happened after Fengming."
"This has nothing to do with us, let's drink."
Ever since the appearance of the Phoenix Cry Sect and the subsequent martial law, Phoenix Cry City has been discussing this matter.
Some surrounding Lineage and sects have also set their sights on the Phoenix Cry Sect.
However, the security was too tight, making it impossible to obtain any useful information.
Of course... if someone is infiltrated beforehand, that's a different story.
Phoenix Cry Sect.
The matter was now concluded, and the elders instructed the sect disciples to enter the main hall and plant restrictions.
Although everyone's face was filled with displeasure, with Huang Qian, the legitimate descendant of the Divine Phoenix, present, they had no choice but to obey.
After all this was done.
Huang Qian and a group of elders walked out of the main hall.
"Well then... Lady Huang, we'll go and coordinate other matters first."
Huang Qian nodded.
After the elders left, Huang Qian looked towards a corner next to the main hall, where Qin Zhan was standing, looking hesitant, his head slightly lowered, occasionally stealing glances at Huang Qian.
"What is it?" Huang Qian asked.
Qin Zhan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Um... where exactly did Brother Liang go?"
Hearing this, Huang Qian couldn't help but chuckle, then said, "Don't worry, they're fine, they're in the courtyard. Judging by the time, they should be waking up soon."
Qin Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed to Huang Qian before quickly leaving.
For Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian, Qin Zhan was just a minor incident, and it would be over once the matter was resolved.
In the blink of an eye, Huang Qian arrived at Xu Yeming's cave abode.
now.
Inside the cave abode, Lu Changsheng and Xu Yeming sat facing each other.
Of course, Lu Changsheng has also regained his true form.
Xu Yeming looked at Lu Changsheng, then stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, senior."
"What are you thanking me for?" Lu Changsheng asked with a smile.
"The sect leader's previous telepathic message and Senior Divine Phoenix's help must have been secretly instructed by Senior." Xu Yeming's mind was very clear; with just a few clues, he was able to roughly figure out the cause and effect.
After saying that, Xu Yeming took out the Classic of Mountains and Seas, then removed the Heaven Rod from the scroll and handed it to Lu Changsheng.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng didn't immediately take it, but instead laughed and said, "What, you can't use the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas now that I'm giving you the Heaven Rod?"
"This is, after all, something from a senior." Xu Yeming said without a trace of hesitation, "I have done no favor for you, senior, nor have I offered you any help. On the contrary, you saved my life. There is no reason for me to continue using it."
Upon hearing this...
Even Huang Qian, who was standing behind Lu Changsheng, couldn't help but nod slightly.
It is truly remarkable that one can remain sober in the face of such a divine object.
Lu Changsheng did not take it, but smiled and said, "You can use this for now."
Xu Yeming was taken aback.
"However, I have one condition," Lu Changsheng said. "As I said before, I wish to take you as my disciple. I didn't force you before, and I won't now. It's up to you whether you're willing to become my disciple."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yeming lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.
During this time, Lu Changsheng did not say anything to disturb them.
Until after a cup of tea.
Xu Yeming raised his head and asked, "What if I don't become your disciple?"
Lu Changsheng laughed and said, "It's simple. I'll snatch the Classic of Mountains and Seas from your hands, since it's still useful to me."
Huang Qian, standing to the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lu Changsheng helplessly.
Doesn't saying that make it seem like you're being too deliberate in taking on apprentices?
Xu Yeming couldn't help but smile wryly, "With your strength, even Phoenix Cry Sect has to obey you. If you want this Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas, you don't need to go through such a big roundabout way. Just kill me and take it."
Lu Changsheng shrugged and said, "At first, I also thought we could just take them away directly. I didn't want to take on any more disciples; it's too much trouble."
Who told that damn system to insist that Xu Yeming was involved in the Classic of Mountains and Classic of Mountains and Seas incident?
Xu Yeming was stunned. His usually clear mind seemed to have rusted at this moment.
Lu Changsheng's blunt words completely wrecked him.
Huang Qian also turned her face to the side.
It's unbearable to look at.
But one thing she was certain of was that Lu Changsheng's words were absolutely from the heart!
but...
"From what I've seen these past few days, you seem to have quite a bit of talent and intelligence. Taking you on as a disciple wouldn't be a bad idea."
Um.
Ultimately, it all comes down to what the system said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yeming's mood was like a rollercoaster, and he said with a wry smile, "Why does it feel like what you're saying, senior, is particularly unreliable?"
"I'm unreliable?!" Lu Changsheng glared and said, "These past few days, I not only saved your life, but I also cleaned up your mess. What more do you want from me after all this hard work? I haven't even had a nap these past few days! I haven't eaten properly either."
Have a meal?
Xu Yeming looked puzzled.
Huang Qian added at the opportune moment, "Have you thought this through? If you become his disciple, the first thing you'll have to learn is cooking."
Xu Yeming: "..."
Lu Changsheng: "..."
No, we're not sisters, who are you from?
The matter has already been brought to this point.
After a moment's thought, Xu Yeming knelt down and said to Lu Changsheng, "Disciple Xu Yeming greets Master."
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng nodded and then said, "Don't go through with such formalities in the future. I don't have that kind of etiquette here."
At the same time.
A notification sound indicating mission completion echoed in Lu Changsheng's mind.
The rewards were successfully distributed.
[ Heavenly Wilderness Spirit-Controlling Brush, Great Wilderness Art ]
And the reward that belongs to him sounds quite simple: [ Beast-Taming Heavenly-Driving Physique ]
In short, it means maximizing the ability to control beasts.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng handed the Heavenly Wilderness Spirit-Controlling Brush to Xu Yeming, saying, "Here, this is for you."
Xu Yeming was stunned for a moment, then took it.
This is a paintbrush.
The penholder is covered with a great deal of detail; if you look closely, it seems as if strange beasts are running around inside!
However, Xu Yeming only glanced at it carefully before feeling his spiritual power draining away rapidly, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.
He exclaimed in horror, "This paintbrush..."
Before Xu Yeming finish speaking, Lu Changsheng impatiently said, "Don't bother with those 'you can't accept these valuables' nonsense. Just take them if they're given to you."
Then he pointed another finger at Xu Yeming's brow.
A vast ocean of information about the Great Wilderness Art flooded into Xu Yeming's mind.
The Great Wilderness Art is not the same as the Primordial Sword Scripture's Nine-Nine Primordial Chaos Divine Lightning Art.
The main focus is on developing the Great Wilderness Beast Heart; there are no special skills attached to it.
It's more like a mental technique.
It took Xu Yeming three whole days to process this massive amount of information.
He then opened his eyes, knelt before Lu Changsheng, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Master."
He was given such a valuable gift so soon after joining the sect.
Both the Cultivation Method and the paintbrush were at a level that Xu Yeming had never seen before.
Which other sect or school could achieve this level of expertise?
Xu Yeming was deeply moved and felt a great deal of trust from others.
All sorts of thoughts suddenly popped into my head, like how I must repay my master and help him.
Beside.
Huang Qian asked telepathically, "These paintbrushes aren't low-grade, are they? You just gave them away like that?"
"What level? It just looks like a paintbrush." Lu Changsheng picked at his ear and said, "Anyway, I don't need it."
Then, Lu Changsheng looked at Xu Yeming, whose face was full of emotion, sat down and asked, "Alright, just in case, let me ask you first, why did you take such a big risk to come to the Phoenix Cry Sect? It couldn't just be for summoning the Phoenix Soul, could it?"
