Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

As soon as Yun Lingzi finished speaking, more than a dozen people stepped forward.

Both kinds of elixirs are really tempting.

However, although these people were all elite disciples of their respective sects, their strength was all too average.

He was defeated in two or three moves by a body refinement expert in his early twenties.

Fortunately, several Qi Refining experts were watching over the area, so no one was injured.

At this point, those who had not yet reached the Body Refinement Realm immediately understood that these two divine pills were beyond their reach, and thus they stopped participating.

The sparring session was changed to a competition among all the body-refining disciples.

Hou Hua, Bao Nanfeng, Wan Chuan, and other fellow disciples familiar to Lu Cheng also took to the stage one by one.

They were defeated and removed from office one by one.

Standing on the stage now is a 27-year-old outer sect disciple who has reached the early stage of Body Refinement perfection.

The so-called younger generation does not have a specific age limit.

While the seniority system varies across different sects, it is generally accepted that anyone under thirty years old is still considered a disciple.

Most martial artists who enter the Body Refinement Realm at the age of twenty and the middle stage of Body Refinement at the age of thirty are considered to have good talent.

People like Lu Cheng and Du Ruo, who broke through to the Body Refinement Realm in their teens, are extremely rare in the entire Dongyang County.

Such gifted individuals are recruited into the core group as soon as they appear.

Similar pills like the Eight Treasures Glazed Elixir and the Nine-Turn Awakening Elixir will not be lacking.

The martial artist, who had reached the peak of the early stage of body refinement, stood in the middle of the arena for a long time. Seeing that no one else was coming up to challenge him, his tense heart slowly relaxed, and he became overjoyed.

"Hahaha, Bao Dan is mine! Bao Dan is mine!"

Those around them were all envious.

People who knew each other immediately started discussing it:

"Geng Di's luck has finally turned around."

"Yeah, yeah, this guy is so old. I thought he would be stuck at the early stage of perfection, but I didn't expect him to get two precious pills this time."

"With these two precious pills, I'm afraid I can break through to the mid-stage in one fell swoop."

"Breaking through to the middle stage is nothing. With this foundation, it's not impossible to break through to the late stage within ten years. A forty-year-old in the late stage of Body Refinement is considered a prominent figure in the entire Dongyang County."

"I never expected that the Flying Cloud Sect, which was facing a talent shortage, would also rise to prominence."

……

The strongest person at Cuiyun Temple in Yang County is only at the late stage of Body Refinement.

The other sects in Dongyang County are similar.

There are very few people who have reached the perfection of body refinement, and even if there are, they are on the verge of death.

Some of the peak masters and powerful elders of the Dongyang Sect are only at the late stage of Body Refinement.

If this person can truly reach the late stage of Body Refinement at the age of forty, then at least for the next fifty years, the sect behind him will not be in danger of decline.

On the field, the martial artist and an elderly fellow disciple outside were both extremely excited.

Yun Lingzi and his group, along with members of various sects, bowed repeatedly towards the offering table.

"Thank you, Senior Yun Lingzi, thank you, Abbot Huisheng, and thank you, fellow practitioners."

As the two were bowing, they suddenly heard the conversations of the people around them change, becoming strangely indescribable.

Despite the words "overestimating one's abilities" and "ridiculous greed."

The man turned his head in confusion, and after a quick glance, he saw Lu Cheng stepping out from the crowd and walking towards him.

In fact, this sparring match was initiated because of Lu Cheng.

The man looked at Lu Cheng with a smile, about to offer some words of advice, but his expression instantly turned extremely serious.

Lu Cheng's body began to turn red, and as he walked closer, his aura continued to rise.

"interesting."

Looking towards the offering table, Tu Yuan, the commander of the Zhenwu Army, looked at Lu Cheng with great interest, his eyes revealing a strong sense of curiosity.

"Burning Blood" is a martial art of the Zhenwu Army, so he could naturally recognize it.

The masters and leaders of various sects, led by Yun Lingzi, also stopped their discussion and looked at Lu Cheng.

Only the disciples around them, whose cultivation levels were not high enough, continued to make sarcastic remarks.

Lu Cheng, however, turned a deaf ear.

In the past few days, while Lu Cheng was cultivating the "Minor Longevity Technique," he also did not neglect the Blood Burning Technique.

The burst damage can now be increased to three times.

The man in front of him was at the initial stage of perfection, so Lu Cheng immediately activated the Blood Burning Technique.

He didn't waste any words upon arriving on the field; after bowing respectfully, he threw a punch.

The man had already gathered his strength and was waiting. Upon seeing this, he met the attack with a palm strike.

Their fists clashed, and the man cried out in surprise as he was sent flying backward.

With a "bang," he fell outside the battle circle.

The people around immediately shut their mouths.

Looking at Lu Cheng, they were all deeply shocked.

Just one punch!

He sent a martial artist who had dominated the entire arena, at the peak of the early stage of Body Refinement, flying backward.

Lu Cheng glanced around, but no one else stepped forward.

Yun Lingzi smiled, stroked his beard, and nodded in satisfaction:

"If there are no challengers, then the winner will be a disciple of the Dongyang Sect."

After three breaths, he repeatedly said "good".

Yun Lingzi was very pleased that the reward could be kept at the Dongyang Sect.

Upon seeing this, Lu Cheng withdrew the burning blood.

A feeling of emptiness came over me instantly, but since it was still short-lived, it wasn't enough to cause me to be unable to hold on like last time.

Another reason is that the progress of the Blood Burning technique has been improved.

[Secret Technique: Blood Burning]

[Rank: None]

[Realm: Three Levels]

This secret technique, after being refined and perfected by [Destiny], is now far more powerful than before.

Even the aftereffects have been significantly reduced.

Based on this situation, even if Lu Cheng were to suffer a tenth major breakthrough, he might not end up with broken bones or be paralyzed in bed.

……

Lu Cheng walked to the offering table and bowed to each of the Qi Refining Masters in front of him.

Tu Yuan of the Zhenwu Army stared at Lu Cheng for a long time, then asked in a gruff voice:

"Kid, where are you from, and where did you learn this 'Burning Blood' technique?"

Lu Cheng had anticipated that Tu Yuan would ask this question.

He gave a clear and organized account of the exchange process.

Tu Yuan laughed heartily after hearing this:

"That kid Shen Yi, he really tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead."

"Hmph, 'Burning Blood' is a secret technique of the Zhenwu Division. This kid sold it to you for only two thousand taels. When he arrives, he'll definitely suffer!"

Lu Cheng was puzzled upon hearing this.

Judging from Tu Yuan's words, Shen Yi is coming to Dongyang County?

However, Tu Yuan seemed unwilling to say more, and simply bowed.

After Tu Yuan finished speaking, the monk Huisheng from Jingang Temple took the porcelain bottle and poured out a pill the size of a peanut.

The pills were sealed with wax, but a faint golden light could still be seen emanating from them.

"This pill does not require special refining after consumption. It will enhance your physical body along with your body refining progress. How far you can go depends on your cultivation method and your fortune."

"If you're not going to use it for a short time, remember to seal it in a jade box."

Lu Cheng clasped his hands together in thanks and accepted the gift.

This was a force of immense strength, so Lu Cheng couldn't help but take it seriously.

So much time has passed, the Awakening Powder and the Nine-Turn Awakening Powder have long been retrieved.

Looking at the two blue porcelain vases, Lu Cheng's heart began to pound.

Yun Lingzi didn't waste any time. He said "Catch!" and then suddenly waved his hand. The two porcelain bottles flew from the table toward Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng was bowing and thanking her when he didn't expect Yun Lingzi to do this.

Even though he knew he wouldn't break if he fell to the ground, Lu Cheng's heart still clenched.

He quickly raised his hand to stop the elixir bottle in mid-air.

Upon seeing this, Yun Lingzi burst into laughter.

Lu Cheng was surprised that Yun Lingzi, at her age, still had such a playful spirit, but dared not show any dissatisfaction. Holding the three pill bottles, he bowed to the group again to express his gratitude.

Before he could even look up, he heard Yun Huizi speak:

"Lu Cheng, do you still remember me?"

Lu Cheng nodded and said respectfully:

"I will never forget the brilliance of my grandmaster Yun Huizi. I am so grateful to my grandmaster for granting me a place in the Dongyang Sect."

Yun Huizi waved his hand:

"The spot was given to us by Changfeng Escort Agency, so there's no need for thanks."

"As for you, if I'm not mistaken, you've actually achieved some success in body refinement."

As he spoke, Yun Huizi's tone became increasingly surprised:

"That's strange. Since your original vital energy is deficient, how do you manage to interact with the primordial energy of heaven and earth?"

Lu Cheng remained calm and slowly delivered his prepared remarks.

Not only Yun Huizi, but everyone present was amazed after hearing this, marveling at the unpredictable and serendipitous nature of life.

"It was all a misunderstanding, how..."

The monk Huisheng put his hands together in prayer, chanted "Amitabha," and said with a smile:

"However, an outstanding person is still an outstanding person. As the saying goes, there are many paths to the same destination."

"This martial arts training is just average. No matter what the journey has been like, this young benefactor is still standing here today."

"Good, good, good~"

Yun Lingzi stroked his beard again, then turned to look at Han Lingxiao:

"Junior Brother Han, Lu Cheng is cultivating the Lesser Longevity Technique. His talent and cultivation progress far surpass those of ordinary people."

"Would you like to take this disciple?"

Lu Cheng suppressed his excitement and restrained himself from looking up at the Qi Refining Realm experts in front of him.

Fearing that their impatience might cause them to change their minds.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop.

Three breaths later, Han Lingxiao nodded and spoke for the first time:

"Lu Cheng, have you ever studied under a master before?"

Lu Cheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief; the short three breaths felt like a hundred years had passed.

"Reporting to Peak Master Han, I previously learned boxing in Yangcheng County by paying tuition, so I have a half-master relationship with Feng Zhan, the third head of the Changfeng Escort Agency."

Han Lingxiao nodded:

"One cannot be considered a disciple until one has entered the inner chamber. We will serve tea together with Du Ruo later."

Everyone around was completely stunned.

Not far away, Wan Chuan, Bai Yu, and the others had grim expressions.

Wan Chuan is alright, with Wan Sheng as his backer. Even though Lu Cheng has become Han Lingxiao's disciple, he doesn't dare to do anything to him.

The thought of having to call Lu Cheng "Uncle-Master" whenever they met in the future made her feel disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.

Bai Yu and Xiao Yichen were completely panicked.

Neither of them had any powerful backers.

They exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with dread.

The elder in charge, surnamed Yuan, was equally anxious.

He never expected that Lu Cheng was not only stronger than him, but had also become Han Lingxiao's disciple.

He felt instantly frustrated, and his eyes showed anger as he looked at Bai Yu.

When Bai Yu caught a glimpse of Elder Yuan's appearance, his heart skipped a beat, unsure whether to cry or curse.

Lu Cheng, however, had neither the time nor the inclination to pay attention to these people, who were standing in front of the offering table in the main hall.

With the six chimes, the apprenticeship ceremony officially began.

Du Ruo walked to Lu Cheng's side, and the two stood respectfully together.

The prefect, Tu Yuan, and the monk Huisheng moved aside.

Yun Lingzi and the other three sat on either side of the offering table.

Two groups of ceremonial disciples emerged from both sides of the main hall.

The people in front of them each had a tray in their hands.

The last eleven people each held a scroll.

Those carrying trays walk to the front of the offering table and line up on both sides.

Eleven people holding the scroll stood in front of the main hall and behind the offering table, and with a "whoosh," they unfurled the scroll.

The portraits of eleven lay Taoist figures are on display.

"Kneel and pay homage to the ancestral master!"

As Yun Lingzi finished speaking, Lu Cheng and Du Ruo knelt down together in front of the eleven portraits.
