The Five Thunder Imperial Body wasn’t even able to catch Lu Changsheng’s eye!
As the apprenticeship ceremony continued, Lu Changsheng still had not taken on a single direct disciple!
Could it be that Sect Leader’s threshold for accepting disciples truly consisted of exceptional talents at the level of Holy Sons and Holy Maidens?
But such peerless geniuses, with the resources of a Holy Land for their cultivation, how could they possibly join Mount Shu?
The cultivators present couldn’t understand it at all.
What on earth was going on?
Yun Xuan bit his lip so hard he was nearly in tears.
As a descendant of the noble Ancient Yun Family and currently the most talented person in the Yun Family, he had awakened the Five Thunder Imperial Body and possessed the potential to become an Immortal Emperor. When had he ever been so disregarded?
“Lian, why don’t you take him as your direct disciple? If I have time, I’ll also give some pointers.”
Lu Changsheng thought it over; he didn’t have the energy to guide this disciple in cultivation, so it was better to let his second disciple, Lu Qinglian, accept Yun Xuan as a disciple.
Yun Xuan, with the Five Thunder Imperial Body, had the potential to become an Immortal Emperor, and cultivating him would be of no small help to Mount Shu.
With Lu Qinglian taking him as a disciple, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t need to cultivate him as attentively as one would a direct disciple. When he had free time, he could provide some cultivation resources; that should be enough for Yun Xuan to reach the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
As for whether Yun Xuan could become an Immortal Emperor, that mainly depended on his own understanding.
“Hee hee, disciple obeys. From now on, you are my, Lu Qinglian’s, disciple. Come, perform the apprenticeship ritual.”
Lu Qinglian waved her hand excitedly.
“…”
Yun Xuan was baffled.
He was the direct descendant of the noble Ancient Yun Family, intending to take Daoist Changsheng as his master, and now, Daoist Changsheng had his disciple accept a disciple, making Yun Xuan the second-generation disciple of Qingyun Peak, and moreover, the one with the lowest seniority. Lin Qingzhi’s disciple, Li Jianfei, and Ji Xuan’s disciple, Luo Xintang, had already become his senior brother and senior sister.
And this master, didn’t she seem somewhat unreliable?
“Don’t feel that I’m treating you unfairly. My disciple will definitely become an Immortal Emperor in the future, and her talents are even above yours. She’s qualified to take you as her disciple.”
Seeing Yun Xuan’s inner struggle, Lu Changsheng knew that he thought himself undervalued and thus spoke up to explain.
Lu Qinglian was a direct disciple that Lu Changsheng had raised like a daughter, providing her with an abundance of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Her Martial King Divine Physique was currently unrivaled, and the Five Thunder Imperial Body might not necessarily surpass the Martial King Divine Physique.
In addition, Lu Qinglian had cultivated Fire Lotus True Qi, and Lu Changsheng also planned to pass on the second Merit Treasure, “Merit Golden Lotus,” to her.
Her taking Yun Xuan as a disciple was more than adequate.
As soon as Lu Changsheng’s words were spoken, Yun Xuan and many Loose Cultivators were greatly shocked.
Daoist Changsheng had indicated that Lu Qinglian’s talents surpassed those of Yun Xuan with the Five Thunder Imperial Body!
No wonder Daoist Changsheng, out of several hundred thousand candidates, really didn’t fancy a single one in this apprenticeship ceremony; turns out his disciple’s talents were even more heaven-defying!
“I am willing to become a disciple under the master’s tutelage.”
Without further hesitation, Yun Xuan decided to take Lu Qinglian as his master.
This way, Lu Changsheng would become his Grand Master, who would also likely treat him generously.
Yun Xuan performed the apprenticeship ritual, and Lu Qinglian solemnly accepted the apprenticeship tea.
Lu Changsheng watched amusedly; this disciple of his, finally having a serious moment.
“It really brings back memories; back then, I was also at Mount Shu’s apprenticeship ceremony when I was taken as a direct disciple by my master.”
Daoist Yuxuan watched the apprenticeship scene, filled with emotion, but soon after, his expression gradually became pained.
Seeing Daoist Yuxuan’s unusual demeanor, Lu Changsheng asked, “What’s wrong, senior?”
