Cultivation: Beginning with the Heart Reflecting Heaven and Earth

Before Chu Liu could speak, he was lifted up and quickly headed down the mountain. He was a little helpless. He didn't expect that his usually indifferent master would be more anxious than him. Could that kid really be a talent?

Lu Qian, who was at the foot of the mountain, did not wait long before seeing a white-haired, white-browed man with a handsome face carrying Chu Liu flying down. He immediately realized that this was Chu Liu's master, an elder of Wanfa Peak, and he quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Elder!"

Chu Qing, too lazy to waste words, simply said, "Demonstrate the Palm Lightning once."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Qian opened his palm and released a palm lightning bolt.

"That's right, it's a palm-sized thunderbolt."

Chu Qing carefully examined Lu Qian for a few moments before saying, "Judging from your appearance, you must have explored other approaches as well, right? How long did it take you?"

Lu Qian had no intention of hiding anything. "It took me seven days to learn it, and another two or three days to figure it all out."

After listening, Chu Qinggang nodded, "Not bad. The main thing is that you are only at the early stage of Qi Refining, yet you can already perfect the Palm Thunder. That's quite rare."

If he wanted, he could use the Palm Thunder directly. Since he had already given a specific idea, he must have tried it himself. However, the Palm Thunder would only be meaningful if a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining learned it. Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator learned it, it would only be a trinket.

Chu Liu, standing to the side, could hardly believe his ears. His master had been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, and therefore was very dissatisfied with his disciples' performance, thinking they were too stupid. Now, his master was actually saying that Lu Qian was not bad. How could he not be surprised?

Upon hearing Chu Qinggang's words, Lu Qian humbly replied, "This disciple still has much to learn and is unworthy of such praise from the elder. I only worked day and night to finally master the Palm Thunder technique, just for the sake of contribution points."

He didn't forget to mention the contribution points. Surely such a senior elder wouldn't keep his two hundred contribution points to himself?

"Contribution points? That's a small matter."

Chu Qing stood there silently for a while without saying a word, then suddenly looked at Chu Liu.

Seeing Chu Jingang's expression, Chu Liuyi assumed he understood his master's intentions and immediately said, "I see you're quite talented. Would you be interested in working for my Wanfa Peak?"

Lu Qian hesitated. He hadn't considered this possibility before coming, and quickly asked, "What does it mean to work at Wanfa Peak? Does it mean doing odd jobs here?"

He had heard that inner disciples of the Dao lineage could choose to do menial tasks, and many people were eager to do so. Even outer disciples wanted to do menial tasks for the geniuses of the Dao lineage.

After all, ordinary outer disciples also live a miserable life. If they can curry favor with the geniuses of the Dao lineage, their resources will immediately increase significantly, and naturally, there will be people scrambling to do it.

But if it were Lu Qian, he wouldn't be willing. With the Heart World in his hands, there's no need for him to serve others.

"cough!"

Chu Qinggang suddenly coughed, as if his throat was a little uncomfortable.

Chu Liu felt that he understood his master's meaning, and immediately stepped forward and said, "My Wanfa Peak doesn't have that many trivial matters. The main thing is to give you an opportunity to stay and be observed slowly. Maybe you will have the opportunity to stay at Wanfa Peak in the future."

"Take your time to observe?"

Lu Qian's lips twitched. He hated the idea of ​​someone being slow to warm up, so he quickly said, "I stewed a pot of meat before I left, and I need to hurry back now!"

"You really don't appreciate kindness!"

Chu Liu glared at Lu Qian, completely unprepared for the rejection. However, he seemed to sense a murderous glare from behind, so he quickly switched to a smiling face. "I haven't given you your contribution points yet. Give me your token!"

Lu Qian tossed over his identity token, and Chu Liu swiped two hundred contribution points, saying with a smile, "Welcome back again, the reward will definitely be plentiful!"

"I'll remember that, I'll definitely come often!"

After bowing, Lu Qian left without looking back, as he still needed to think about how to best use his two hundred contribution points.

Chu Liu turned around and saw his master Chu Qinggang's cold gaze. He gave an awkward smile and said, "Master..."

"You naughty brat!"

Chu Qinggang flicked his sleeve, and Chu Liu was sent flying backward, tumbling several times on the ground. Then Chu Qinggang flew away without looking back.

"Master, I've kept him here according to your wishes. I can't just let him join Wanfa Peak directly, can I? That would be too eager!"

Chu Liu also felt wronged. He felt that he had done nothing wrong, so why did he have to suffer this?

There was nothing they could do. His master, Chu Qinggang, was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, and so was Chu Liu. The best they could do was to try and persuade him to stay.

Asking them to lower themselves and beg Lu Qian to stay at Wanfa Peak is simply too shameful for them. They are also from the Dao lineage and have a sense of honor; they cannot be so humble.

"If you bring it up a few more times later, you'll have a chance!"

Chu Liu thought he had figured out his master's meaning and was already thinking about how to make up for it later.

"Don't rush to buy pills. Let's see if we can acquire a first-tier alchemy inheritance."

As the saying goes, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Lu Qian already has a pill-making furnace, but he doesn't yet have a proper pill formula, so he naturally needs to keep an eye out for it.

"As for Senior Brother Zhao's two hundred spirit stones, it would be too unfair to offset them with contribution points. Anyway, he's not in a hurry to use them, so let's wait a while before deciding."

Two hundred spirit stones are not so important to Zhao Qi, but they are of great significance to Lu Qian now, so he naturally cares more about them.

On the way back, Lu Qian was already dreaming about the future, but when he got back to his residence, he saw Nie Tiefeng with a face full of anxiety.

He quickly said, "Brother Nie, please come in. What can I do for you?"

Lu Qian already knew that Nie Tiefeng was a cold-faced but warm-hearted person. The fact that he was in such a hurry to find him meant that something must have happened, otherwise he wouldn't be acting this way.

Upon entering the house, Nie Tiefeng sighed deeply. "Brother Lu, do you know what's being said about you outside?"

"Is it about me?"

Lu Qian frowned, but quickly came to a conclusion. "Could it be about collecting the Spirit Pearl?"

Besides this, he couldn't think of any other things related to himself that could be passed down.

Nie Tiefeng nodded heavily. "That's it. Many people say you're the snitch because everyone got into trouble as soon as you arrived."

"Wait a minute? I'm not the only newcomer."

Lu Qian frowned. "I may not know the others, but there's one person who's also new here, and I do know him..."

He couldn't continue.

That newcomer is Meng Lingjun. Even if she had no reason to inform on someone, would anyone dare to say anything?

If a scapegoat must be found, without a doubt, Lu Qian, who has no background, is the easiest target to bully.

Most of the others had various backgrounds, but Lu Qian was the one who replaced Zhao Qi and was the easiest to bully.

But he still didn't understand why this matter had been brought up again when it was already over.

It's utterly baffling!

Perhaps there are more details that Lu Qian is unaware of.
