Let My Disciples Come Too, So They Can Share in the Benefits

"Right."

Lu Changzhi grinned, looked at Liu Duanyuan, and said:

"Isn't spiritual practice about facing challenges head-on?"

What a coincidence! The martial arts manual I obtained earlier was not only a martial arts manual of the Liu Clan, but it was also a core martial arts manual.

That's great, I don't need to waste any more energy studying anymore.

You make a good point.

Liu Duanyuan pondered for a moment:

"But you must understand, to cultivate this Grasp of Return to the Void, one needs a certain level of talent. You..."

As he spoke, he looked Lu Changzhi up and down again.

Lu Changzhi nodded and smiled:

"Without the skills, how dare I take on the job?"

After speaking, Lu Changzhi raised his hand and began to manipulate the spatial power around him.

But the next moment, a hint of surprise flashed through Lu Changzhi's mind.

He used spatial power to try and activate the void around him.

However, the surrounding space was completely lifeless, offering no response whatsoever.

Just as Lu Changzhi was about to ascend to the Void Origin.

Liu Duanyuan suddenly spoke:

"No wonder, it turns out you really do have the conditions for this cultivation."

His words carried a strong sense of emotion.

And that is indeed the case.

"Lu Changzhi is indeed a very suitable candidate. In terms of conduct, he doesn't need much training; just guidance will suffice."

Suddenly, Liu Duanyuan felt a sense of hope that Lu Changzhi could pass this test more easily.

Not to mention that he actually has a talent for the void.

This was so well hidden that, before his level of cultivation, it was practically watertight; even he hadn't discovered that this kid had the talent for the void realm.

In terms of concealing their strength, the Liu Clan is unparalleled in the Misty Clear Realm.

Not to mention other forces outside, even most of the younger generation in the clan did not know just how terrifying the Liu Clan's true strength was.

Right now, encountering such a junior, so attentive to keeping things hidden, truly gives me a sense of kindred spirits.

Liu Duanyuan admired Lu Changzhi, while Lu Changzhi secretly felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly realized that the problem wasn't with the void at all, but rather with Liu Duanyuan.

He hadn't tried using the Void Origin, but judging from the use of ordinary Void power alone, it would probably be of little use against Liu Duanyuan.

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding; you can't afford to be careless.

Lu Changzhi thought to himself softly.

My own strength is still a bit too weak.

At this moment, Liu Duanyuan spoke up:

"Good. Since you have the mindset and the means, you can choose it. If you can master it, it will greatly benefit you. Of course, if you find that you cannot cultivate it, you can also let me know, and you can choose again."

There was originally only one chance.

But to be honest, it's very difficult to find such a suitable successor; there's only been one like this in all these years.

There needs to be some leniency.

"Thank you very much, Senior Liu," Lu Changzhi said.

But his mind began to stir:

"These martial arts techniques, within the current scope of the Misty Clear Realm, should not be considered bad."

"Instead of taking what we already have, why not get something else and give it to Xiao Ye?"

Not all of these martial arts techniques are related to the power of the void.

Judging from the names, Lu Changzhi also saw two or three martial arts techniques related to thunder.

But upon further reflection, Lu Changzhi abandoned that idea and instead asked Liu Duanyuan:

"Senior Liu, there's something I'm not sure if I should bring it up now."

"Oh?"

Liu Duanyuan looked at it:

Tell me?

Lu Changzhi nodded and said:

"Over the years, I've mentioned several disciples to me. They've followed me through harsh conditions, enduring wind and rain. I wonder if they'll be able to join me and benefit from my newfound status after I join the Liu Clan?"

"Hmm?" Liu Duanyuan looked surprised.

"You've even taken on disciples?"

At this age, when one should be diligently cultivating one's skills, one still has disciples.

You have to understand that taking on disciples means you have to divide your attention and energy to manage them, hoping they can grow, plus occasionally helping them clean up their messes.

Having lived among the Liu Clan for so many years, these events left a deep impression on him.

Right now, Lu Changzhi is so young, and he's already taking on disciples. Does he have the energy to manage them?

Lu Changzhi coughed lightly and smiled:

"They're just for fun; we collect them, we don't care how long they last."

As soon as the words were spoken, the system's voice appeared in his mind:

"The master has told the truth."

"Go away, go away," Lu Changzhi thought to himself.

"They only collect but don't manage the income?" Liu Duanyuan seemed somewhat interested in this statement.

The next moment, his expression shifted, he glanced down, and said:

"Is Gu Chen on the field your disciple?"

"I didn't expect you to guess it so quickly, senior." Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.

"No wonder," Liu Duanyuan said softly.

"You two are equally incomprehensible."

Lu Changzhi smiled but didn't say anything, though he suddenly realized something.

With such a powerful figure present, their systematic and unfathomable hidden methods seemed rather obvious, like lice on a bald man's head, glaringly out of place.

"Your disciple's strength and methods don't seem to come from a life of hardship," Liu Duanyuan said at this moment.

"Senior Liu is too kind," Lu Changzhi said with a smile.

"Compared to ordinary practitioners, of course not."

"But compared to a powerful clan like the Liu Clan, we are not much better off than beggars now."

Liu Duanyuan smiled but did not comment.

Although he knew that Lu Changzhi was suspected of playing the victim and flattering him.

But the way it was spoken wasn't too stiff, and it sounded pretty good.

After a moment, Liu Duanyuan asked:

"Just this one?"

"No, senior, there are six more."

Liu Duanyuan was silent for a moment:

"You're really good at having fun."

Lu Changzhi smiled:

"Thank you for the compliment, senior."

"There are quite a few people." Liu Duanyuan pondered for a moment:

"Alright then, you should focus on your cultivation and meet the requirements. If you can master this martial art within five years, I will try to persuade the others to agree to let them also enjoy the resources of the Liu Clan."

After saying that, as if realizing he had been too tense, he changed his words:

"Ten years, you can't spend all your energy on this."

He was well aware of the difficulty of cultivating the "One Grasp of Return to the Void" technique.

Back then, it took the clan chief eight years to master this martial art, with guidance from the clan's elders.

The current Aptitude of a Great Emperor in the clan, who is said to have surpassed his predecessor, has only achieved minor success. It is estimated that it will take at least six or seven years to achieve full success.

This little guy may have a foundation, but he may not necessarily have a talent for this area.

After he finished speaking, Liu Duanyuan watched Lu Changzhi's reaction closely.

If that doesn't work, changing it to fifteen years isn't out of the question either.

In any case, the biggest difference between putting on an act early and late is simply the difference in the strength and true Aptitude of a Great Emperor.

Unexpectedly, Lu Changzhi readily agreed:

"Good."

After saying that, Lu Changzhi said, as if joking:

"I took a liking to it at first sight. Perhaps this martial art is destined for me, and I might not even need it for five years."

Upon hearing this, Liu Duanyuan also smiled:

"If you can really do it within five years, I'll definitely say you're amazing."

Joking aside, Liu Duanyuan didn't take it to heart.

After all, it's definitely not possible within five years.
