Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 182 Old Wei Makes His Appearance

Seeing Yu Changsheng refuse so decisively, not only were the disciples stunned, but even the elders looked incredulous.

Yang Wenhao raised an eyebrow, surprised, and said, "Kid, you're not wrong, are you? You're not choosing anyone?"

"Do you know what kind of treatment you'll receive if you become a disciple of this vast Myriad Manifestations Sect?"

Putting aside everything else, just take Yang Wenhao, the peak master of Badao Peak. He is a top-tier existence among Golden Core cultivators. Becoming his disciple would bring immeasurable benefits to one's future cultivation path.

But Yu Changsheng decided to give up.

"This disciple has thought it through very clearly, thank you for your kindness, Peak Master!"

Yu Changsheng bowed respectfully.

"You should think this through carefully. If you join the Sword Control Peak, I can guarantee you'll reach the peak of Foundation Establishment within twenty years. What do you say?"

Lu Ruikai frowned slightly, somewhat unwilling, and then said.

As the deputy sect leader and also a member of the Imperial Sword Peak, he was a close friend of Li Jiran, the peak master of the Imperial Sword Peak. Li Jiran's absence at this moment must mean he had important business to attend to or was unaware of the situation. Under these circumstances, he naturally had to try to advocate for the Imperial Sword Peak.

"Peak Foundation Establishment within twenty years?"

This condition had already made countless onlookers envious, their breathing becoming rapid, but Yu Changsheng's heart remained completely unmoved.

He shook his head, smiled apologetically, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "This disciple is very tempted by such an opportunity, but I have other plans, and I'm afraid it is..."

Lu Ruikai gave Yu Changsheng a deep look, nodded, and a look of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

He turned to the other elders and said, "Since this child is unwilling, we cannot force him. Let us do as he wishes."

"this……"

The other Golden Core elders remained silent, their dissatisfaction less pronounced and more filled with astonishment and confusion. They stared at Yu Changsheng, lost in thought.

After a long pause, Yang Wenhao smiled wryly: "I never expected that we would be rejected by a junior. I really can't believe it! I'm losing face!"

Mo Pengchen didn't speak, nor did he make things difficult for Yu Changsheng. He just smiled quietly. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. He looked up at the horizon, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

Mu Chengping nodded, his expression inevitably showing disappointment, but he maintained his composure, smiling gently at Yu Changsheng and asking softly, "It's good that you have your own plans. If you refuse, then refuse. But would you mind telling me why you're waiting for me?"

"this……"

Yu Changsheng hesitated, glancing casually at the horizon before finally saying, "Actually, I already have a master I like."

"Oh? Who is it?!"

The elders stared wide-eyed, while the disciples on the sidelines exchanged bewildered glances.

"Among those present are Golden Core elders from various peaks, as well as the peak master of the Overlord Blade Peak. If Yu Changsheng has refused them all, who else can be chosen?"

"Could it be that Yu Changsheng actually wants to become a disciple of the Supreme Elder, the Purple Mansion True Monarch?"

"Elder, the Purple Mansion True Lord has long since stopped accepting disciples. Yu Changsheng may indeed have some skill, but he must also be able to discern the current situation!"

The disciples were buzzing with discussion, the elders looked surprised, and Yang Wenhao also stared at Yu Changsheng with an incredulous expression.

However, just as Yu Changsheng shook his head and stopped speaking.

"His master is me. Do you want to steal my disciple?"

Suddenly, a vast voice resounded in everyone's ears.

A group of people looked up at the sky. Before they could see him, they heard his voice. They saw a white-haired old man with a calm and composed demeanor, his hands behind his back, and a small turtle perched on his shoulder as he slowly approached.

The old man had slightly graying temples, white hair, and a youthful face. He wore a simple gray robe, not luxurious attire, giving him the air of an ordinary person. However, his complexion was ruddy, his breath was strong, and his every move revealed a trace of Daoist wisdom.

The old man was just a moment ago on the horizon, but in the next moment he was right in front of everyone.

This single move made everyone's pupils shrink.

"Shrinking the earth to an inch?"

Elder Hai exclaimed in surprise, and everyone's eyes turned to this old man, scrutinizing him and secretly marveling. Although they could not sense any trace of his cultivation, his aura was undeniable.

This only shows that the level and strength of the person in front of them exceeded their comprehension.

Upon this person's appearance, Yang Wenhao and Lu Ruikai's expressions changed simultaneously, and Mo Pengchen, the peak master of Beast Taming Peak, bowed respectfully to him.

"Greetings, Elder Wei."

Some Golden Core Elders and Dharma Protector Elders did not recognize Elder Wei.

But no one present was a fool. Seeing Yang Wenhao, Lu Ruikai's expressions and Mo Pengchen's demeanor, they knew that this old man's identity was not simple.

The Golden Core elders exchanged glances and immediately lowered their stance.

"Um."

Old Wei nodded slowly, his expression calm. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Yang Wenhao and Lu Ruikai, and asked, "What's wrong? You two can't sit still anymore, and you're starting to plot against my apprentice?"

"Old Wei, are you referring to Yu Changsheng?"

Lu Ruikai was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on. He smiled wryly, waved his hand, looked at Yu Changsheng with a complicated expression, and sighed softly.

"This junior dares not presume. I was curious which master could have guided and taught such an outstanding genius, but it turns out it was Elder Wei."

Lu Ruikai said respectfully.

Apart from Mo Pengchen and Yang Wenhao, the other Golden Core elders had different expressions, with surprise and realization in their eyes.

"Who is this old man? He actually makes the deputy sect leader call himself a junior?"

"No wonder Yu Changsheng refused to become his disciple; it turns out there's someone behind him?"

"Isn't this the old man from the Spirit Beast Garden? What's going on? How does he have this kind of identity?"

The disciples were completely stunned, while a few of them clearly recognized Elder Wei and looked on incredulously.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Old Wei glanced at Lu Ruikai and said calmly:

"I have long held Yu Changsheng in high regard. As for my disciple..."

Old Wei turned around, and after a moment of contemplation, looked intently at Yu Changsheng and said:

"Many elders from the five peaks of the Myriad Manifestations Sect are present today, as is the Vice Sect Leader. Now that you have been promoted to the inner sect, let me ask you: are you willing to become my disciple and take me under your wing?"

The sound wasn't loud, but everyone present heard it. They all held their breath and stared intently at Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng straightened his sleeves, his expression becoming even more respectful. He bowed deeply to Elder Wei, saying, "This disciple is willing. Thank you, Master, for your kindness!"

Yu Changsheng didn't know Wei Lao's exact identity, but he could guess that he was no ordinary person. He had hesitated when he rejected many elders today, but in the end he still chose Wei Lao.

Judging from the current situation, Elder Wei's identity is indeed not simple. Even Lu Ruikai treats him with great respect. Such a person personally accepts a disciple, and in addition, they have a close relationship. Although they are in a master-disciple relationship, they have the reality of master and disciple. Isn't it obvious which choice to make at this moment?

Old Wei nodded in satisfaction, and the little black tortoise on his shoulder also raised its head. He then bent down to help Yu Changsheng up and said kindly:

"Very well, since that's the case, from now on, you, Yu Changsheng, will be my personal disciple, Elder Wei. With Sect Leader Lu as my witness, let's establish a Dao Heart and seal a Dao Oath."

With a broad smile, Old Wei waved his sleeve, and a steaming cup of tea floated in front of him.
