“`
Ah?
Lu Changsheng was dumbfounded.
This demon race girl, could she really be the koi he used to raise at Qingyun Peak?
Lu Changsheng did indeed raise koi on Qingyun Peak, and his disciple Shen Xiaoyao even occasionally fished, releasing them right after they were caught.
As it turned out, after Lu Changsheng and the first generation of disciples from Qingyun Peak ascended through tribulation, one of these koi actually transformed into human form. One couldn’t help but admire her luck.
Lu Changsheng carefully recalled that back in Qingyun Peak, due to the excessive number of Immortal Pills returned by the system, he would sometimes indeed feed the koi in the pond with elixir pills, which led to fierce competition among them for food.
One in particular was more lively and always managed to eat the most elixir pills.
Furthermore, with Lin Qingzhi, Shen Xiaoyao, and others frequently cultivating and contemplating the Dao beside the clear pond, gathering nature’s spiritual energy, that koi, observing by the side, gradually started cultivating on its own.
[Ding, the other party’s information is loading… Loading successful.]
[Name: Xiaojin]
[Race: Demon Race]
[Status: Third generation disciple of Qingyun Peak]
[Talent: Koi Transformation, Water Spirit Root, Luck, Longevity, Fortune (able to bring good luck to people around her)]
[Cultivation Level: Seventh-layer Earth Immortal]
[Cultivation Technique: Taiqing Wuji Technique]
[Magical Treasure: Water Spirit Pearl (Low-grade Ultimate Treasure)]
Upon loading Xiaojin’s information, the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator caused Lu Changsheng to be shocked once again.
This demon disciple’s talent, if said to be good, wasn’t very impressive—having cultivated for tens of thousands of years and only reached the seventh layer of the Earth Immortal Realm. But this little one was indeed lucky and could even bring good fortune to those around her. Your next chapter is on empire
No wonder among all the koi of Qingyun Peak, she alone managed to transform and even led Li Jianfei and Luo Xintang to find Lu Changsheng.
“Xiaojin was one of the koi bought by the Ancestor from a merchant in the Great Xia imperial city. If not for the Ancestor, Xiaojin might never have gained spiritual awareness or transformed into human form.”
Having met her benefactor from the past, Xiaojin had kept her gaze fixed on Lu Changsheng the entire time.
“Being able to transform into human form indicates that we have karma. Here, I bestow these treasures upon you. You must continue to cultivate well in the future.”
With a grand wave, Lu Changsheng presented another batch of treasures.
Having reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, Lu Changsheng’s understanding of the Dao deepened, and he knew that the higher the realm, the more important were the incomprehensible factors of Qi Destiny and karma.
As Xiaojin had transformed from a koi and could bring Qi Destiny to those around her, and was originally raised by Lu Changsheng himself, he was quite generous with her, giving ample resources for cultivation.
As for the future achievements of this koi, it would all depend on her own fortune.
“Xiaojin is really so lucky!”
Xiaojin never expected to be treated like her master, receiving a large batch of treasures along with cultivation techniques and magical treasures, and was overwhelmingly surprised.
This little one’s luck was undeniable.
Lu Changsheng chuckled and shook his head.
Perhaps meeting Lu Changsheng was her greatest stroke of fortune.
When Grandmaster Taixu, Daoist Yuxuan, Grandmaster Tailin, Lu Changsheng, Li Changye, Zhao Wuyan, Li Jianfei, Luo Xintang, Xiaojin, and other geniuses from Mount Shu gathered together for a hearty drink and reminisced about the past, it sparked a wave of nostalgia.
Fairy Qingxia and Shangguan Zhao’er were also present.
Fairy Qingxia, upon hearing that the younger generation’s Xia Ningxue from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion had become the Holy Maiden of Guanghan Palace and had now reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, was a little surprised, “It’s unknown whether this junior is stronger or weaker than the original founder of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.”
Upon hearing Fairy Qingxia mention the founder of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, the first Pavilion Master, Lu Changsheng grew curious, “Fairy Qingxia, having been in the Immortal Realm for over a hundred thousand years, could it be that you have never come across your Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s first Pavilion Master?”
Fairy Qingxia shook her head, “I have never heard of her whereabouts. She might have changed her name or perhaps even fallen midway through her journey.”
Grandmaster Taixu interjected from beside her, “It’s said that person suppressed an era, undefeated in all the lands; even our Sect Leader of Mount Shu at the time was no match for her, and so she was permitted to establish her own sect on Misty Peak, creating the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion. It’s just that she didn’t participate in the grand assembly of Zhong Zhou, so her fame was not prominent. It’s hard to imagine such a peerless genius remaining obscure in the Immortal Realm; she may indeed have perished along the way.”
Lu Changsheng, Li Changye, Zhao Wuyan, and the others exchanged glances. Both the Founding Ancestor of Mount Shu and the genius immortal fairy who founded the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion were virtually unknown in the Immortal Realm.
Such a peerless genius, if fallen midway, would indeed be a great pity.
However, it was true that many peerless geniuses ascending from the three thousand minor worlds perished at the Earth Immortal Realm.
In the Immortal Realm, many old monsters had been cultivating for millions of years; peerless geniuses, before they could grow, were powerless against these old entities.
“Junior Brother Lu, aside from Lu Qinglian, where are the other first-generation disciples of your Qingyun Peak?”
“`
Li Changye asked about the whereabouts of Lin Qingzhi, Mo Huazhi, and Shen Xiaoyao.
“Although I don’t know where they are, they’re all doing well at this moment.”
Lu Changsheng realized he hadn’t simulated his disciples’ futures for a while, so he continued chatting with Li Changye and the others while secretly using the system to simulate the lives of a few disciples.
First was his eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi.
[Ding, you have started simulating the life of your disciple Lin Qingzhi.]
[Ding, remaining simulations for today: -1.]
[Simulation begins:]
[Lin Qingzhi is currently cultivating.]
[Five years later, Lin Qingzhi encounters an ambush by the Blood Sea Palace in Luoxian Valley.]
[Lin Qingzhi is killed by Xiao Xiangdao.]
[Simulation ends.]
Hmm?!
Lu Changsheng’s eyes widened in shock.
This simulation included specific locations.
Lin Qingzhi has been killed by Xiao Xiangdao?
Isn’t Xiao Xiangdao the eldest disciple’s apprentice?
Although Lu Changsheng knew that Xiao Xiangdao was jealous of Lin Qingzhi, he never imagined that Xiao Xiangdao would join the Blood Sea Palace and strike a deadly blow against Lin Qingzhi.
“Eldest Brother, I already know the whereabouts of your eldest disciple.”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and informed Li Changye.
“Oh?”
Li Changye, hearing that Lu Changsheng knew of Xiao Xiangdao’s whereabouts, felt somewhat surprised.
He had personally taught Xiao Xiangdao the cultivation techniques, and he had a certain fondness for this disciple.
“He may have joined the Blood Sea Palace.”
“What?”
Li Changye’s expression gradually darkened, and the wine jar in his hand turned to dust.
The eldest brother always despised evil and valued integrity. He could not believe his disciple Xiao Xiangdao would join the Demon Sects.
“Where is he? If this is true, I must kill him myself!”
Li Changye exploded with rage.
The betrayal of his carefully groomed eldest disciple, Xiao Xiangdao, away from the Righteous Dao, caused him immense heartache and indignation.
“In five years’ time, if we go to Luoxian Valley, we should be able to find him.”
Lu Changsheng also hoped to take this opportunity to meet his eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi.
…
In the Holy Land of Guanghan, within the Guanghan Palace, Jin Yun Immortal Fairy and Xia Ningxue returned to report, recounting the details of their journey to the Nether Sea.
The Palace Master of Guanghan showed a hint of surprise.
What surprised her was that Lu Changsheng’s disciple was actually a descendant of the Dragon Emperor.
The strength of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline was something the Palace Master of Guanghan was very aware of.
“This child is a peerless genius, and his disciple is also a descendant of the Dragon Emperor. His future is boundless. The last time he visited us here in the Holy Land of Guanghan, as his teacher, I didn’t grant him an audience. Should I meet him again, I will need to apologize to him.”
The Palace Master of Guanghan did not expect Lu Changsheng, this young man, to be so remarkable.
Initially, it was by the order of the Ancestor of Guanghan that the Palace Master had prevented Lu Changsheng from meeting Xia Ningxue, it was not her original intention.
The Palace Master of Guanghan then said to Jin Yun Immortal Fairy, “Junior sister, our Holy Land of Guanghan has struck a deal with the Demon Race. Please go to the Demon Realm for me.”
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy had a rough idea of what the Palace Master meant, so she nodded, “Yes.”
The Palace Master of Guanghan continued, “Xue’er, you will need to take charge of the Guanghan Palace in the future. It’s time for you to gain some worldly experience, so you will go with Uncle Master Jin Yun to the Demon Realm. The strength of the Demon Realm is on par with the Demon Realm, so be cautious.”
