The Ancestors Following Them Would Still Step In

Xunyuan Peak.

It is the largest and most extensive peak in the Five Symbols Sect.

Lu Changzhi had only been there a short while when Zhou Mo, the peak master of Xunyuan Peak, came out smiling and said:

"Changzhi, it's been a long time since you've come here."

"I heard from the sect leader that you've been quietly cultivating on Hidden Origin Peak lately and have made considerable progress?"

Upon hearing Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile and shake his head:

"Debunking these rumors is exhausting! Sect Leader, you're exaggerating my abilities."

Zhou Mo laughed heartily:

"That must be because you yourself are not simple."

After a pause, Zhou Mo continued:

I've heard about what happened at Flame Sun Peak.

"The Cloud Heaven Holy Land also has a person skilled in the art of judging character, named Zhou Chang. It is said that he went to the Flower Spirit Sect this time, and it was precisely because of his skill in judging character that he gained a considerable position among the many elders of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land."

"I never expected you to have this ability."

Lu Changzhi smiled upon hearing this and waved his hand:

"I can only get a general idea; I can't compare to others."

"That's not entirely true."

Zhou Mo waved his hand:

"After all, you're still young."

As he spoke, he also invited Lu Changzhi into the hall.

After brewing tea and drinking for a while, Zhou Mo brought it up:

"Since you have this ability, if you're not too busy, could you please take a look at the younger generation on my Xunyuan Peak and see if there's anyone like Lin Shan?"

After saying that, Zhou Mo smiled and said:

"Teaching according to aptitude is the best way to achieve better results. Take Lin Shan, for example. If you hadn't discovered his talent, it would have been a waste, which would have been a considerable loss."

"So..."

Zhou Mo looked at Lu Changzhi.

"You're too kind, Master Zhou."

Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"As the peak master of a sect, it is only right and proper for me to help the sect discover talent."

"I also had this intention when I came here."

Lu Changzhi paused, then said:

"In addition, there is another matter."

"What is it?" Zhou Mo asked.

"I have a disciple on my peak who loves reading cultivation techniques and martial arts manuals, the more the better. Aside from those from the sect, this is the second best place for that."

Lu Changzhi said with a smile.

The Five Symbols Sect is a unified entity, with a collection of universal cultivation techniques and martial arts skills for disciples and elders to consult.

But this is not all; each peak also has some privately owned parts.

This approach serves two purposes: firstly, it can appropriately stimulate competition among the major players.

Secondly, it motivates the elders of each peak to accumulate inventory.

Of course, private ownership is private ownership, and the boundaries are usually not clearly defined.

"It's nothing."

Zhou Mo nodded, took out a jade tablet, and handed it over.

"Just let him take this."

Lu Changzhi accepted the jade token.

The conditions for Xiao Ye to read ten thousand books have already been prepared.

Now I just wait for my pen to flow like a divine inspiration.

Regaining his composure, Lu Changzhi stood up and said:

"Then let's go check on the disciples on this peak."

"Okay." Zhou Mo also stood up.

Not long after he stepped outside, a voice transmission came to Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo paused slightly, a hint of apology appearing on his face:

"There's something I need to take care of right now, but I'm afraid I might not be able to..."

"It's nothing," Lu Changzhi said with a smile.

"I'll go take a look myself; there's no need to be too formal."

Zhou Mo nodded, summoned an elder to lead the way, and then quickly left.

After walking for a while, the two arrived at a certain place.

It appeared to be empty, but in reality, it was an illusion array.

Once inside, it's like entering a completely different world.

Compared to other places outside, the conditions for cultivation here are much better.

Clearly, this is the area where Xunyuan Peak truly trains his core disciples.

"As expected of a key disciple of the sect."

After walking for a while, Lu Changzhi sighed inwardly.

Whether it's their aura, their temperament, or the vitality they exude.

The disciples here are of significantly higher quality.

Lu Changzhi glanced at the qualifications of these people using the system, and his expression became strange.

Eighty percent of those here possess Heaven Grade or higher qualifications.

That's not a big deal. Although Heaven Grade talent is relatively rare, the number is still quite considerable given the large population base.

Of these 80%, nearly 40% possess Spirit Rank aptitude.

This is...

Recalling the sect leader's reaction and behavior when Gu Chen's qualifications were tested.

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head:

"To become the sect leader, it's clear that strength alone isn't enough."

"Oh, right."

Lu Changzhi, as if struck by a thought, turned to the elder beside him and asked:

"Elder Sun, are there any juniors here with Saint-Tier Aptitude?"

Sun Xiang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

However, considering Lu Changzhi's age and situation, it wasn't too strange, so he transmitted his voice:

There were some, but they're not here now.

"So it really is there?"

Lu Changzhi thought to himself, then asked:

"If not here, Non-Self the Five Symbols Sect have other places for training?"

Sun Xiang continued to explain:

"Those who possess Saint-Tier Aptitude, whether great or small, are bound to stir up a storm; setbacks and hardships are inevitable for them."

"Staying solely within the sect for cultivation might not be a good thing for them; appropriate travel and adventure are far more suitable."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi seemed to be deep in thought.

The sect has done a sufficient job in protecting its disciples.

However, the sect was clearly aware that flowers grown in a greenhouse are easily damaged by wind and rain.

Combining the two approaches is indeed more reasonable.

"Surely we can't just let them wander off on their own?" Lu Changzhi thought to himself.

Of course not.

Chen Xiang smiled and shook his head:

"While training is important, it must be done step by step."

"If it far exceeds what this disciple can handle, the elders from the other peaks will still intervene."

Upon hearing the phrase "the patriarchs of various peaks," Lu Changzhi couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.

Sure enough, he knew it.

"From this perspective, sending them out for experience is not very realistic."

Lu Changzhi thought to himself.

Hidden Origin Peak is probably the most honest sect right now.

The number of people on the surface is the same as the actual number.

We don't have enough manpower.

Putting his thoughts aside, Lu Changzhi tried it out on Sun Xiang.

The Heaven-Veiling Illusion Array activated, and the opponent entered it without noticing.

Then, using the illusion array, Lu Changzhi got busy.

The illusion array enveloped Xunyuan Peak's disciples.

Internally, it causes disciples to fall into a state of illusion, losing control of their bodies.

They present a facade to the outside world, so that what truly happens remains hidden.

Use spiritual power to open its lips.

Take several Marrow Cleansing Fruits and crush them.

It is brought into the mouth and then naturally enters the stomach.

The whole process wasn't complicated.

After a busy period of time...

Lu Changzhi paused slightly, turned back to look at the disciples he had fed, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face:

"The power of the illusion array is truly not to be underestimated."

Of course, this is partly due to the inherent quality of the Heaven-Veiling Illusion Array itself.

But their complete lack of awareness also reveals a lot.

After finishing his work, Lu Changzhi looked up at the sky.

"That's about enough, let's wrap up and eat."
