Chapter 18: Unparalleled Genius, Unparalleled Learning (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Elder Yun Mo glanced at Lu Chengfeng, and after a moment's silence, he said, "I was going to take you in as my disciple, but now I'm giving up halfway. Although there are some causes and consequences, it's not good to just walk away like this."
"Well, it is fate that we can meet today. I will give you something. I wish you good cultivation and hope you can become a pillar of the sect in the future."
As he spoke, he actually took off the sword with the scabbard behind him, and then pulled out the sword, handing over the scabbard that was as black as ink with faint dark gold patterns on it.
"This scabbard is called Cangfeng. It is an ancient treasure that I accidentally found. It can not only nourish the sharpness of the sword, but also nourish the sword and the person. It has infinite mysteries."
"In my early years, I practiced the true teachings of my sect, thanks to this rare treasure. In recent years, my cultivation has gradually improved, and this scabbard is of no use to me."
"I will give it to you today, hoping it will help you in your practice."
When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he knew that Elder Yun Mo had given up. He sighed inwardly. Naturally, he could not force it at this time. He said, "Elder, it is because I have no fate with Huanglong Peak. How dare I accept the rare treasure that you have carried with you for many years?"
"Please take back this hidden sword scabbard."
Elder Yun Mo smiled casually, his hands shook slightly, and Cambridge fell into Lu Chengfeng's hands with incredible precision.
"There is no reason for me to take back what I have given you. Just practice hard in Xuanhe Peak. If you can learn from that person, you will definitely have a bright future."
"If I could see another talented person emerge from my sect, it would be worthwhile for us to meet each other today."
After he said that, he held the sword in his hand upside down, put it behind his back, and then walked away without looking back.
After Elder Yun Mo left, Lu Chengfeng inexplicably felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little chilly. He turned around slightly and saw Zhu Yuxian looking at him with a smile.
"Good disciple, why don't you become my disciple now?"
No matter how reluctant and fearful Lu Chengfeng was, he didn't dare to refuse at this moment. Otherwise, he would be too obvious and the woman would definitely notice something.
It is true that he is Zhao Changzhen's disciple, but Zhao Changzhen's disciples may not know Zhao Changzhen's identity as a traitor, and it is even more impossible for them to know about the private contacts between Zhao Changzhen and Zhu Yuxian.
So when faced with an elder accepting a disciple, Lu Chengfeng should have shown excitement and joy. If he acted too abnormally, it might arouse suspicion.
Therefore, he bowed without hesitation and said loudly: "Disciple Lu Chengfeng greets Master."
Zhu Yuxian stood up from the chair and walked towards him with her charming and attractive figure. Suddenly, a faint fragrance filled his face, but Lu Chengfeng did not feel the slightest bit of charm. Instead, alarm bells went off in his heart.
"Why are you so nervous, young man? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Lu Chengfeng lowered his head and dared not look at her. "I have never seen such a beautiful face before. I am afraid that I will lose my composure in front of Master. I hope Master will forgive me."
"Hehe, you little guy really know how to talk." Zhu Yuxian patted her chest, and her body trembled immediately, revealing large areas of snow and cream, which was extremely seductive.
But at this moment, the two men in the room were frightened as if they had seen an evil spirit.
"Okay, you're really boring, just as old-fashioned as Xiao Tongzi." Zhu Yuxian was smiling just now, but now her face was suddenly full of frost and her tone became cold.
This woman has a fickle mood. She laughs when she's talking to someone and becomes cold when she's talking to someone. Her mood changes unpredictably, and there's an invisible aura about her that fills the entire room.
Lu Chengfeng sighed secretly, knowing that his future life would be difficult. He finally married a beautiful wife, made great progress in swordsmanship, and became famous in Yuncang. Some elders accepted him as a disciple. He originally thought that he would have a smooth life, but he did not expect to fall into a trap. "He seemed to have mentioned my late husband just now?"
"If you make me angry, believe it or not, I will kill you... Then I will make you my woman, and you will also absorb the gift from your late husband."
Lu Chengfeng was furious in his heart and could give himself instructions to comfort himself. Now he was very afraid of this woman and did not dare to show any disrespect to her for fear that she would take his life.
"Lu Chengfeng." Zhu Yuxian spoke.
Lu Chengfeng quickly responded: "Disciple is here."
"Since you have become my disciple, there are some things I need to make clear to you." Zhu Yuxian's tone was extremely cold. The charm and coquettishness from before had completely disappeared without a trace. Instead, she was like a pure and innocent fairy, who could only be admired from afar but not played with.
"The reason I accepted you as my disciple is that I wanted you to inherit my late husband's legacy. He was a peerless genius of the previous generation in the sect. He had made great contributions to the sect and was even canonized as the young master. He was supported by the five peak elders and was to inherit the throne."
"My late husband had great ambitions. He wanted to simplify the peerless magic skill, the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, which was passed down in our sect. Although this magic skill is extremely powerful and can dominate the world as long as it is mastered, it usually takes several generations for one genius to master it."
"My husband comprehended the five great sword classics, and with the permission of the sect leader, he comprehended the sword manual of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, intending to create a unique skill to lay the foundation for the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword."
When Lu Chengfeng heard the words, he was immediately fascinated. What he didn't expect was that Zhu Yuxian, who was very likely a spy from other sects, almost became the sect leader's wife. This was simply terrifying.
"My husband has been in seclusion for many years, and once he has achieved success in his practice, he wants to go deep into the Yuncang Mountains and kill the Beast King to prove his swordsmanship and the unique skills he has newly comprehended."
"But I didn't expect to be surrounded and attacked by masters from other sects in the mountains."
"My husband was outnumbered and died in battle, but he also caused the people who surrounded him to pay a huge price. There were a total of 23 people who participated in the battle, and only three survived in the end."
"Over the years, I have been sorting out the manuscripts left by my late husband during his retreat, hoping to pass on the unique skills he had comprehended."
Zhu Yuxian looked at Lu Chengfeng and said solemnly, "Since this martial art was compiled by me, it is incomplete and difficult to practice, and there are also dangers."
"But if you can succeed in your cultivation, you will definitely be successful in the sect, and you may even be valued by the sect leader. Even if you want to compete for the position of sect leader in the future, you will not be without hope."
"Zhou Tong was my late husband's disciple. I have been teaching him for many years. He has spent countless efforts and energy to practice that unique skill, but he has gained nothing. Instead, it has delayed his own practice."
"I have already said that if you can succeed in practicing this unique skill, I will definitely help you practice with all my strength in the future."
"If that doesn't work, and you want to switch to another clan, I won't stop you then."
"how?"
Hearing this, Lu Chengfeng bowed again, "Master, rest assured, I will do my best and will never let you down."
Having said that, he actually hoped that his cultivation would fail, so that he could take the opportunity to escape from the tiger's mouth and switch to other inner peaks.
