Xia Ningxue was very trustworthy, and the next day she had an Inner Sect Disciple deliver Mo Huazhi’s contract of servitude.
Mo Huazhi formally left her status as a menial worker at the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion and became a disciple of Mount Shu.
The news spread, and all the menial workers of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion couldn’t help but be filled with envy.
No one thought that a lowly servant could have the chance to be accepted as a disciple by an Elder of Mount Shu; it was indeed a leap to the heavens.
“Lu, is this the new disciple you’ve taken in?”
“She seems to have average aptitude and no cultivation to speak of.”
“However, Lu is a great teacher. The last disciple with average aptitude, Lin Qingzhi, was still taught by Lu to reach the Golden Core Realm.”
“That’s right, Lu has a discerning eye, something we cannot fully understand.”
Lu Changsheng brought Mo Huazhi back to where the people of Mount Shu were staying, attracting many Elders of Mount Shu to gather around.
Mo Huazhi was surprised and flattered, hiding timidly behind Lu Changsheng; this was the first time she had seen so many important figures.
“Everyone stop making a fuss, we will commence our return journey to Mount Shu in two days. The journey back may be dangerous, so all Junior Brothers must be careful and cautious.”
Senior Brother Li Changye appeared, and the crowd gradually quieted down.
The return journey is dangerous?
The crowd’s expressions grew slightly solemn.
It seemed that the Senior Brother had received some information.
” I will go to Mount Shu with Master tomorrow? There must be many books in Mount Shu…”
Mo Huazhi was full of anticipation.
If she became a disciple, naturally she could access far more classics than a menial worker.
Her Master had mentioned that the various classics of Mount Shu were as vast as the smoke, and that it would be difficult to go through them all even if she spent her whole life in the Dao Palace.
The Great Alliance of the Six Paths, aside from deciding the rankings of the six major clans and the discussions among the six Sect Leaders, also allowed the younger generation of Elders from the six clans to get to know each other, as they may fight side by side in the future.
Li Changye, the chief disciple of Mount Shu, and Ye Wen, the chief disciple of the Martial Alliance, had a mutual respect for each other.
Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, had visited Xia Ningxue, the most talented Elder of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.
Song Wuchuan had gotten to know Xiao Meng’ er, the second disciple of the Fairy Pavilion Master.
Zhao Wuyan was rather depressed, as no fairy-like disciples from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion came to visit him, only a group of monks from the Immeasurable Temple showed up to discuss the Dao with him.
Meanwhile, a group of fairies from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion sought to meet with Lu Changsheng but were all turned away by him.
If Lu Changsheng wanted to tease the fairies of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion to pass the time, he would rather spend time with Xia Ningxue, whose temperament was superior by a notch.
Subsequently, Elder Ku Mu of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion came to visit, and Lu Changsheng agreed to see him.
Elder Ku Mu had once led a team to Huang State on a mission, and the two were old acquaintances.
“Lu, you had an epiphany one day and your cultivation has soared. Just as the old saying goes, one should view another with new eyes after a mere three days apart,” said Elder Ku Mu as he picked up his teacup and took a sip, exchanging pleasantries with Lu Changsheng.
” I may have cultivated a decent level of power, but my experience is shallow compared to Elder Ku Mu.”
“Ha ha, Lu, you are so modest, your temperament truly exceeds your cultivation.”
“That day in Huang State, when we encountered Evil Sword and the Black Tiger Daoist, Xia Ningxue and I managed to escape, but I’m unsure of the aftermath. How did it unfold?”
“Although Evil Sword is a fourth-layer Elder of the Dao Palace’s Reincarnation Hall, I am as well, and he couldn’t kill me. I used Earth Escape Divine Skills to evade death. If the Reincarnation Hall had sent an Elder with higher cultivation, perhaps I would not have been able to escape.”
“Does Elder Ku Mu know about the strength of the Reincarnation Hall?”
“The strength of the Reincarnation Hall is not inferior to our Inquiry Immortal Pavilion. The four Demon Sects may not have as many disciples as the six Orthodox Sects, but they have always been able to stand firm because each of them has an impressive foundation. Some disciples of these Demon Sects even hail from the six Orthodox Sects…”
“Oh?”
“The heart’s inclination towards good or evil is but a thought away. Sometimes, a mere stray thought can lead to falling into the Demonic Dao. Although my cultivation is not as high as Lu’s, I have cultivated for eight hundred years and have seen much of the world’s warmth and cold. Even among the peers of the Pavilion Master, there have been some who lost their way… Alas, this matter is taboo, so it is not proper to discuss it in detail.”
Elder Ku Mu mentioned the sect secrets of the six Orthodox Sects, and Lu Changsheng was greatly shocked. It turned out that many of the elders and disciples of the four Demon Sects came from the six Orthodox Sects. The difference between good and evil was only a thought away, no wonder the four Demon Sects could never be completely eradicated.
Lu Changsheng lamented, “The human heart is precarious, the dao heart is minute.”
“Lu, your words are very true. There are less than two hundred years left in my lifespan. It has been a great fortune to make your acquaintance, truly a blessing in three lifetimes. In the future, we may even fight side by side. If fate allows, we shall meet again.”
After chatting with Lu Changsheng for a while, Elder Ku Mu took his leave.
Lu Changsheng called over his new little disciple, Mo Huazhi, and began to exploit the system’s loopholes.
With the disaster looming just a decade and some years away, Lu Changsheng felt that his current cultivation level was not yet sufficient to ensure his safety.
“Sit still, I am going to initiate a power-infusing initiation for you. If you feel unwell, speak out immediately.”
Lu Changsheng started with initiating a power-infusing initiation for his little disciple right away, directly boosting her cultivation level.
“Master, you must not! Disciple has read the relevant texts, power-infusing initiation will harm the master’s cultivation level, only those whose time is nearly up would do such a thing!”
Even though Mo Huazhi was a menial worker, she had read widely and knew the price that had to be paid by the one who initiated the power-infusing initiation.
The efficiency of power-infusing initiation was too low, and not worth the loss, as the person initiating it could even drop in cultivation level as a result.
“I know what I am doing. Are you going to defy your master’s orders?”
“Disciple obeys…”
Mo Huazhi had no choice but to sit on the cushion, waiting for Lu Changsheng to initiate the power-infusing initiation.
Mo Huazhi’s heart was already moved beyond measure; not only had her master helped her redeem her servant contract, but he was also initiating power-infusing initiation for her.
Could this be nothing but a dream within a dream?
Having had the experience of initiating power-infusing initiation for two disciples, Lu Changsheng was well-practiced in the process. He transferred only a thread of faint spiritual energy from the palm of his hand into the Heavenly Spirit cover of Mo Huazhi.
With the fifth layer of Lu Changsheng’s Dao Palace cultivation, just the transfer of a thread of spiritual energy made Mo Huazhi’s body suffer greatly.
“Master, it’s so hot, my body feels so hot…”
Mo Huazhi, with only the first layer of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation level, broke into a sweat after enduring Lu Changsheng’s cultivation for just half a day; her Zodiac Meridians became burning hot.
“Stay calm. Follow my guidance, open your Dantian, and you will have set foot on the path of immortality.”
Lu Changsheng guided the spiritual energy inside Mo Huazhi’s body, slowly circulating it, letting her sense how to refine and utilize the spiritual energy for herself.
“Hmm, ah…”
Mo Huazhi struggled to refine this thread of spiritual energy, occasionally letting out pained gasps. Undertaking her first qi training and opening the Dantian was naturally not easy.
Outside the house, a graceful figure appeared silently.
“He gave me a sixth-grade elixir pill, coming to see him off is the least I can do,” Xia Ningxue muttered to herself.
As the people from Mount Shu were about to leave Misty Peak, Xia Ningxue talked to herself.
Suddenly, Xia Ningxue heard noises coming from inside the house and hesitated, taking a step back.
[Ding, you have transferred three days’ worth of cultivation to your disciple “Mo Huazhi.” Mo Huazhi actually received 0.5 days of cultivation.)
[Ding, you have received a 200-fold return reward for teaching your disciple: one hundred days of cultivation.]
[Ding, number of power-infusing initiations for today -1.]
Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level was too high; Mo Huazhi only needed to assimilate half a day of Lu Changsheng’s cultivation and it would already take her quite a while.
Mo Huazhi looked gratefully at her handsome master, never expecting that her master, to help her get started, would be willing to sacrifice his own cultivation level.
“You should quickly refine this thread of spiritual energy, later on, I will continue to initiate power-infusing initiation for you.”
Mo Huazhi’s eyes widened in disbelief, she hadn’t misheard, had she?
Was her master not afraid of depleting his own resources?
“Who’s there outside?”
Lu Changsheng, with sharp senses, noticed someone lingering outside the house and spoke out.
