His Disciple

Xu Xuanyu had never heard of such a high ratio of time flow treasures. A ratio of one to one hundred was already frightening, but a ratio of one to three hundred was something he had never heard of before.

If he hadn't heard this from his second sister, he naturally wouldn't have believed it. Now that his second sister said there was such a time-flowing treasure and that she had already gone to cultivate it, coupled with his brother-in-law's special identity, it was highly likely to be true!

Xu Yunyi said, "Indeed, it exists. I was surprised when I first heard about it. The reason this treasure can have such a time flow rate is related to the Time-Reversing Demon Willow, the most treasured artifact of the Demon Willow Academy. Without the existence of the Time-Reversing Demon Willow, the treasure would only have a time flow rate of one hundred times."

"Oh! Second sister, I envy you so much! Now I know why you insisted on staying there. If it were me, I would be even more determined than you..."

Xu Xuanyu could only watch with envy.

"Speaking of which, Second Sister, are you really allowed to go there to cultivate whenever you want? And for as long as you like?"

Xu Xuanyu couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, my brother-in-law discussed it with the dean, and only the four of us are allowed. No one else is allowed. Actually, there's something else that happened..." Xu Yunyi's cheeks flushed slightly again as she thought about how she had pretended to be Lu Qing'an's daughter.

She'll remember this for the rest of her life; it's too special...

Xu Xuanyu closed his eyes, mentally cursing himself for being an idiot, and finally said weakly, "Second sister, I'm begging you, please put in a good word for me with brother-in-law whenever you have a spare moment... From now on, I swear I'll listen to you! You're my most beloved second sister! Please...?"

Later on, Xu Xuanyu resorted to his charming and coquettish methods.

Xu Yunyi was speechless.

It's really difficult for me now that you've offended my brother-in-law like that before.

"I'll try my best... By the way, Zhengran said he'd come here in two months? Was he just kidding, or does he really plan to? Does my sister agree?" Xu Yunyi asked.

Xu Xuanyu said, "It seems my older sister isn't worried about Zhengran going there. After all, Zhengran is my brother-in-law's son, so she trusts him. It's just me... well, even if I wanted to go there, I probably couldn't tell my older sister."

"Isn't your older sister afraid that Zhengran comes here, she won't want to go back...?"

Xu Yunyi's expression was strange.

The conditions here are excellent.

That's so tempting!

She couldn't withstand this test...

One can only imagine how her little nephew would feel after seeing Lu Zixuan's cultivation level, and what decision he would make.

"Ahem, my eldest sister has always been quite confident, as you and I know... Actually, I think Zhengran's quite good for Zheng Ran to go there. My eldest sister is only focused on her cultivation and strength, and she doesn't usually take care of the children much. If my brother-in-law can better raise the children, it would be good for Zhengran to go there," Xu Xuanyu said.

Xu Yunyi nodded; she agreed with this viewpoint.

This seems a bit unfair to her older sister...

While Xu Yunyi and Xu Xuanyu were still chatting telepathically, Lu Zhengran had already left Xu Xuanyu's side and arrived at the main hall where Xu Qingying was.

"Mother!"

Lu Zhengran squinted, his face full of resentment and a sense of grievance as he walked into the main hall.

When he entered the main hall, he found that not only his mother was there, but Lin Qingxue was also there.

He then quickly bowed to Lin Qingxue.

"Zhengran, is something the matter?" Xu Qingying had been discussing important matters with Lin Qingxue, but stopped when she saw her son and turned her gaze to Lu Zhengran.

Lu Zhengran said, "Mother, my sister is a complete liar these days. She just can't stand to see me doing well and keeps trying to make me angry!"

He recounted everything that had just happened in one breath.

Especially when talking about treasures with a time flow speed of 1:300, they even embellished the story.

"Mother, Senior Lin, do you really believe there are treasures that can change the speed of time?"

Lu Zhengran didn't believe it, so he came here immediately to inquire.

Lin Qingxue and Xu Qingying exchanged a glance.

A time flow rate treasure with a ratio of 1:300?

Lin Qingxue said, "Your sister probably heard that you joined the Green Mountain Academy and were able to cultivate in that time treasure, and she felt resentful, so she deliberately tried to annoy you. As far as I know, there are people in the Demon Domain who can create time treasures with a time flow speed of 1:100. But 1:300 is unheard of. There's a 99% chance that such a time flow treasure doesn't exist."

"So that's how it is! I knew it couldn't be! Humph! I knew my sister was lying to me!"

Upon hearing Lu Zhengran finally smiled slightly, feeling a little more at ease.

Xu Qingying also felt that her eldest daughter was exaggerating. She knew that the two children had been secretly competing with each other, and now neither was willing to admit defeat. It was normal for them to tell some lies to spite each other.

They're still just kids.

"Zhengran, I told you, once your mother breaks through to the Peak Great Emperor Realm, we have a high probability of obtaining a treasure with a time flow ratio of 1:150! At that time, you won't need to continue cultivating in that time treasure at the Green Mountain Academy," Lin Qingxue said with a smile.

"What?! A time flow rate of one to one hundred and fifty?!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengran was stunned, then his face lit up with joy.

Xu Qingying laughed and said, "That's only after I break through to the Peak Great Emperor Realm. Right now, your mother still has to keep working hard."

"Qingying, with your talent, I estimate that you'll be able to break through to the Peak Great Emperor Realm in at least ten years," Lin Qingxue said with a smile.

"Really?! Great! Mother is the best!! Haha, so can I use this time-traveling treasure whenever I want? Can I cultivate for a whole day without any problems?!"

Lu Zhengran excited.

"Of course, this treasure belongs exclusively to your mother, so you can use it as you please," Lin Qingxue said.

Wow!! That's amazing!! Mom! Keep up the good work with your training!!

Xu Qingying smiled and nodded, looking tenderly at her son.

"I have something to discuss with your mother. Go back and cultivate, and strive to become stronger than your sister." Lin Qingxue dismissed Lu Zhengran.

"Okay! I'm going to cultivate now!"

Lu Zhengran arrived with a face full of resentment and left with a smug expression, humming a tune as he went.

Xu Qingying shook her head and smiled, then looked at her master.

"Master, what is the main reason you have come today?"

Lin Qingxue: "It's still the same thing. Your cultivation level isn't very high yet, but your talent and potential are terrifying. You're destined to reach the pinnacle and become the strongest in the Immortal Ruins. But for now, you still need to consolidate your strength and establish more connections with other major powers."

Xu Qingying nodded. "Of course I understand, I will follow Master's orders."

"Alright, in the Immortal Ruins now, many top powers have complex and intertwined relationships. You need to maintain good relations with them. Among them, the Nangong Household, the Xia Household, and the Long Household are the ones you should get to know the most. I've come up with a way for you to improve your relationships with them."

What method?

"They all know about your potential. You can take one or two apprentices from each of their Lineage!"

"Taking on apprentices?"

"That's right! After taking you on as a disciple, their Lineage has established a fairly close relationship with you. Moreover, given your extremely high potential, they are naturally happy to have the most promising person in their Lineage become your disciple."

"Alright, I'll listen to Master."

"Okay, I'll handle this matter. Our plan will also utilize these forces later, so you must find a way to maintain good relations with them. You haven't broken through to the Peak Great Emperor Realm yet, so don't let things fall apart with them."

Xu Qingying nodded. "I understand."

Demon Domain.

Afternoon.

The sun was shining brightly.

In front of the stone pavilion, Lu Qing'an and Xiao Qingyi sat drinking tea and chatting.

"By the way, your apprentice should already know you're back, so why hasn't he come looking for you yet?" Xiao Qingyi asked.

Lu Qing'an was also curious. Logically speaking, he had been back for some time now, and Lu Qingxu and the others seemed to have some connection with his disciple, so his disciple should already know that he had returned.

Knowing his disciple as he did, he knew he would have already arrived here.

"I'm not quite sure about that. Perhaps he's in the midst of seclusion?" Lu Qing'an guessed.

Just then...

Xu Yunyi finished chatting with Xu Xuanyu, walked out of the courtyard, and saw Lu Qing'an by the stone pavilion, so she walked over to the pavilion.

"Brother-in-law, I'd like to talk to you..."
