After a long while.
Before Mark Gu, whose pupils had contracted, could speak, the second elder suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing with excitement.
“A supreme fire spiritual root! This is an extremely rare supreme fire spiritual root!!”
A supreme fire spiritual root!
Christopher Tong looked incredulously at the kneeling boy, his heartbeat quickening!
What does a supreme fire spiritual root mean? His own high-grade thunder spiritual root had already made him a personal disciple under Immortal Gu of the Cyan Cloud Sect. A supreme fire spiritual root… it was simply unimaginable.
It seemed that their Cyan Cloud Sect had never had a supreme spiritual root before?
Such a spiritual root would cause all sects in the cultivation world to fight over it.
“A supreme fire spiritual root, what is that?” Leonard Lin was puzzled but could sense that he wasn’t too bad himself.
“Senior, do you mean…”
Mark Gu looked at Ambrose Lu with bright eyes, even stuttering in excitement.
“Senior! I can do it too…” At this moment, the second elder also looked at Ambrose Lu with hope, his fingers turning white from gripping so hard.
At the same time, he sighed in relief, thankful that the Sect Master hadn’t come to Moyu Town this time. Otherwise, this monstrously talented disciple would have been taken as a personal disciple by the Sect Master.
Leonard Lin was shocked again when he heard these two immortal-like elders calling Ambrose Lu “Senior”… Could it be that Mr. Lu was also an immortal? And an even more powerful one at that.
At this moment, Ambrose Lu looked at Leonard Lin and said,
“Didn’t you admire that immortal from that night? He is the one.”
As he spoke, he nodded towards Mark Gu.
Leonard Lin looked at Mark Gu, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints, his mind going blank for a moment.
This white-bearded elder was actually the immortal from that night!
Thinking back, the voice was indeed very similar.
“Who Leonard Lin wants to take as his master is up to him.”
Ambrose Lu didn’t outright reject the second elder but said this instead.
“Thank you, Senior!” The second elder bowed to Ambrose Lu, then looked at Leonard Lin and said solemnly, “I am the second elder of the Cyan Cloud Sect in the cultivation world. If you take me as your master, I will pour all resources into you!
The best cave, the best cultivation techniques, the best spells, the best elixirs, the best… everything will be yours!!”
Seeing the second elder being so generous, Mark Gu’s heart twitched, but he knew the importance of a supreme fire spiritual root.
Moreover, such a spiritual root was practically tailor-made for alchemy.
More importantly—this was personally recommended by the Senior. If he said it had nothing to do with the Senior, he wouldn’t believe it.
If this boy had a connection with the Senior, and he, Mark Gu, took him as a disciple, wouldn’t that mean he, Mark Gu, also had a connection with the Senior?
Damn, he couldn’t let this happen!
His thoughts were intense, but what he said was, “I, Gu, don’t have as many grand promises as the second elder, but I can say that if you take me as your master, I will definitely be a good master.”
Leonard Lin didn’t hesitate at all. He first gave an apologetic look to the second elder, then looked at Mark Gu, bowed his head three times, and said, “Master.”
He didn’t know what a cave, elixirs, cultivation techniques, or spells were. He only knew that the phrase “seeking immortality, and more so a bit of righteousness in the heart” seemed to be etched into his bones.
“Good, good.” Mark Gu was stunned for a moment, then stroked his beard and smiled.
The second elder sat down dejectedly, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Forget it, forget it.”
No matter whose disciple he was, he was still a disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect.
“Alright, Leonard Lin, come stand behind me with your senior brother Christopher. As for the apprenticeship ceremony, I will give you a grand one when we return to the sect.”
Mark Gu looked at Leonard Lin with a kind smile.
“Thank you, Master.”
Leonard Lin responded, then heavily kowtowed three times to Ambrose Lu, his eyes slightly red. He wanted to say something but only managed to stammer, “Sir, thank… thank you for giving me such an opportunity.”
Ambrose Lu nodded and graciously accepted the three kowtows, then asked, “Leonard Lin, the path of cultivation is tedious and full of life-and-death trials. How will you face these?”
Leonard Lin replied firmly, “My original intention will not waver.”
“Good.” A hint of a smile appeared in Ambrose Lu’s eyes.
Mark Gu and the other two were already stunned, looking at this eleven-year-old boy in disbelief.
Whether it was the supreme fire spiritual root or his temperament, he was simply born for cultivation!
Especially Christopher Tong, who looked at Leonard Lin in shock, feeling a sense of crisis. This future junior brother was a bit terrifying. Would he take away their master’s affection?
“Alright, you may leave now.”
Ambrose Lu waved his hand.
Mark Gu and the second elder quickly stood up, bowed to Ambrose Lu, and left with Christopher Tong and Leonard Lin.
…
“Junior Brother Leonard Lin, do you want to fly?”
As they walked out of the courtyard, Christopher Tong looked at the shorter Leonard Lin and smiled.
“Senior Brother, I do!” Leonard Lin nodded eagerly.
Christopher Tong laughed heartily and looked at Mark Gu, “Master, may I take my junior brother to experience it?”
Mark Gu glanced at Leonard Lin, who looked eager, and waved his hand, “Go ahead, but be careful.”
After speaking, he exchanged a smile with the second elder and walked away slowly.
They were now staying in the Town Master’s Mansion with a group of Foundation Establishment disciples, but the disciples were strictly forbidden to wander around and could only stay in their rooms to cultivate.
Seeing them leave, Christopher Tong took out a flying carpet, infused it with spiritual power, and the carpet suddenly expanded and floated in the air!
Leonard Lin’s eyes widened, watching this scene with excitement.
Christopher Tong grabbed Leonard Lin and leaped onto the flying carpet, landing steadily.
“Junior Brother Leonard Lin, you must hold on to Senior Brother. It’s natural to be nervous the first time you fly.” Christopher Tong smiled.
Leonard Lin nodded solemnly, gripping Christopher Tong’s sleeve tightly.
The next moment,
With a “whoosh,” the flying carpet soared into the sky!
Leonard Lin’s heart raced, his eyes shining with excitement!!
This was the feeling of an immortal flying. In the future, he would be like this too…
…
Monster Realm.
Compared to the sinister and demon-infested Demon Realm, the Monster Realm was lush and green, with towering trees and vast grasslands.
Most monsters loved this pleasant environment.
“King Teng Snake, when will we attack the Li Shui Empire? This time we must slap Zhao Deep Abyss in the face!” a monster king sneered.
Lithe Snake frowned and smiled, “Zhao Deep Abyss has repeatedly failed in the Li Shui Empire. He just doesn’t like that we, the Monster Realm, are watching from the sidelines and wants to provoke us.”
“Zhao Deep Abyss has always been arrogant, thinking we monsters are brave but foolish. Little does he know, this king has become smart long ago,” Lithe Snake said smugly.
The other four monster kings exchanged glances, a bit surprised.
Lithe Snake looked at the four monster kings and said, “There’s no rush. The Li Shui Empire is already in our grasp. Besides, the Monster Sovereign and the Demon Sovereign haven’t made any moves. We don’t know when they will attack, so why not wait a while?”
“This king just wants to see Zhao Deep Abyss’s face when we toy with him, hahaha.”
