I Have A Disciple Simulator

Sect Leader Lu Changsheng of Mount Shu brought her too many surprises; indeed, Mount Shu is rightfully the leading sect of Xia State.

"Fellow Daoists have traveled from afar to help our Penglai Sword Sect overcome this crisis. As the Sect Leader of Penglai Sword Sect, I am endlessly grateful. I will have my disciples set up a feast to entertain all of you," she said.

The Penglai Fairy had Lu Changsheng and his party stay, ordering sumptuous wines to be served as a token of good hospitality.

Lu Changsheng and his companions owed a life-saving grace to the Penglai Sword Sect, but the Penglai Fairy had yet to decide how to repay them.

At the feast of the Penglai Sword Sect, the elders and disciples cast grateful and admiring glances.

Lu Changsheng alone had slain Lei Tiannan, the long-famed master of the Wind Thunder Pavilion, which was simply unbelievable.

The Penglai Fairy asked the question that weighed on her heart, "May I ask how long Sect Leader Lu has cultivated?"

Lu Changsheng answered casually, "Just over three hundred years."

"How, how is that possible?!"

"Only three hundred years?!"

The members of the Penglai Sword Sect were stunned.

Had they heard it correctly?

Just over three hundred years and he had already stepped into the Unity Realm?

He had cultivated for just over three hundred years but slain the master of the Wind Thunder Pavilion who had been cultivating for ten thousand years?

The Penglai Fairy's beautiful eyes wandered, filled with even more admiration for Lu Changsheng.

Just over three hundred years of cultivation, yet he possessed combat power comparable to those in the Unity Realm—what level of extraordinary talent was this?

Since the establishment of Penglai Sword Sect, even though there had been geniuses ascending to the Immortal Realm, none were as monstrous as this.

Lu Changsheng had already refreshed Penglai Sword Sect's understanding of what an extraordinary talent could be.

"I have heard that Sect Leader Lu does not lack ninth-rank Elixir Pills," she said.

The Penglai Fairy took a sip of the fine wine, her beautiful face blushing as she pondered how to repay him.

The Penglai Sword Sect possessed precious ninth-rank Immortal Pills, but such pills might not mean much to Lu Changsheng.

As for the tenth-rank Immortal Pills, the Penglai Sword Sect could not produce them either.

But the Penglai Fairy did not want to miss the opportunity to make a connection with Lu Changsheng.

"Sect Leader Lu has brought his people to save our Penglai Sword Sect, and as the leader of the Penglai, Sword Sect, I have no way to repay this debt. I wonder, what does Sect Leader Lu wish for in return? Please speak freely, even if it means offering myself in marriage, I would not dismiss the idea," she said frankly.

The Penglai Fairy had been cultivating for five thousand years and was straightforward.

She knew that Lu Changsheng was at the second layer of the Unity Realm and capable of defeating Lei Tiannan, who was at the fourth layer. The prospects for his future were limitless. Even ascending to the Immortal Realm seemed a certainty.

Becoming a Dao Companion with Lu Changsheng would not be a loss for her. It might even be beneficial. If she could receive guidance from him, she would be more confident in ascending to the Immortal Realm in the future.

"Pfft!"

The elders from Mount Shu, including Zhao Wuyan, nearly spat out their wine.

The Sect Leader of Penglai Sword Sect was actually suggesting that she become Dao Companions with their Sect Leader of Mount Shu?

If the two sword cultivation-focused sects formed an alliance, the status of both Mount Shu and Penglai Sword Sect in the upcoming grand assembly of Zhong Zhou might rise.

Moreover, the Penglai Fairy was known as the foremost beauty of Luzhou, someone whom the leaders of various major sects longed for. Now she had made it clear that as long as Lu Changsheng agreed, the matter would be settled.

"Zhao Wuyan, why are your eyes always on the Penglai Fairy?" Fairy Chunhua of the Hidden Dragon Temple asked Zhao Wuyan with a chilly tone, making Zhao Wuyan break out in a cold sweat.

"Cough, cough, don't misunderstand, I am thinking about our junior brother Lu. Besides, in my eyes, the Penglai Fairy does not compare to you in the slightest," Zhao Wuyan quickly clarified, desperate to live.

"Hmph."

Fairy Chunhua snorted coldly, letting Zhao Wuyan off the hook.

When the Penglai Fairy spoke, the reactions from those of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion were even more interesting.

The elders from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion like Xiao Meng'er all knew that the newly appointed Pavilion Master Xia Ningxue had some kind of relationship with Lu Changsheng. Now that the Penglai Fairy had openly expressed her willingness to become Dao Companions with Lu Changsheng and cultivate together, it was uncertain how Xia Ningxue would face this.

The Penglai Fairy was an astonishing beauty with the cultivation of the third layer of the Unity Realm, which was higher than Xia Ningxue's current cultivation level.

However, Xia Ningxue remained much calmer than everyone at the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion had imagined, her expression unchanging.

"Not true..."

The meticulously observant senior sister, Xiao Meng'er, noticed that Xia Ningxue's hand, holding the white porcelain wine cup, was trembling slightly—surely, the junior sister still cared a great deal about this matter.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Changsheng finally spoke, "The Penglai Sword Sect once saved my disciple, I am merely repaying the favor on behalf of my disciple. If the Penglai Sword Sect insists on reciprocating, I would like to have dozens of the Penglai Sword Sect's unique cultivation techniques.

As long as they are unique techniques, Yellow Rank, Profound Rank, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank are all fine."

Lu Changsheng was not lacking in elixir pills, but he could collect a batch of secret skills to pass on to his various disciples in hopes of obtaining higher-level cultivation techniques.

"Is that all?"

Whether it was the Penglai Fairy or the elders of the Penglai Sword Sect, they were all momentarily stunned.

The Penglai Fairy could offer Ninth-Rank Immortal Pills, or even offer herself in marriage, yet Lu Changsheng merely wanted a batch of secret cultivation techniques, and those were techniques of Heaven Rank or below, which were of little use to a Unity Realm powerhouse.

"Hmm."

The Penglai Sword Sect truly did not have the treasures Lu Changsheng wanted.

However, ever since the establishment of the Penglai Sword Sect, successive sect leaders had created secret skills for their disciples to practice, so there might be some techniques that Mount Shu didn't have.

"Fine, I will have someone send a batch of cultivation techniques to Sect Master Lu for selection."

Seeing that Lu Changsheng wanted techniques that were below the Immortal Rank and not the sect-defending techniques of the Immortal Rank, the Penglai Fairy agreed to it.

Compared with Lu Changsheng saving the Penglai Sword Sect, these techniques really meant nothing.

However, the Penglai Fairy's eyes flickered with a tinge of disappointment, and she sighed inwardly.

She had always been confident in her beauty, and she was also an absolute genius in the Sword Dao. Across the major sects of Luzhou, there was no shortage of suitors, yet she couldn't move Lu Changsheng's Daoist heart.

Suddenly, the Penglai Fairy perceived that the tense and icy aura surrounding Xia Ningxue had vanished, and she immediately felt relieved.

So that's how it is.

No longer dwelling on it, the Penglai Fairy returned to the main topic, "By the way, Sect Master Lu must have received the invitation to the Zhong Zhou Conclave."

Lu Changsheng, Xia Ningxue, Yu Xuanji, Grandmaster Chen, Master Wuxiang, and other sect leaders were all visibly moved.

It seemed that the Penglai Fairy had also received an invitation to the grand gathering in Zhong Zhou.

"Not just me, all the major sects of Luzhou will participate in the Zhong Zhou Conclave. Of course, the Wind Thunder Pavilion has been destroyed and will no longer be able to attend the conclave. At that time, I presume I and everyone here will meet again. It's a pity that the timing of this Zhong Zhou Conclave is inopportune.

Otherwise, if it were postponed for a few thousand or ten thousand years, with Sect Master Lu's talent, he might have made a name for himself at the Conclave. In the past, your Mount Shu's Ancestor Daoist Taiqing once overshadowed the leader of the Star Pavilion, the number one sect in Zhong Zhou, and triumphed at that Conclave... It's truly a pity."

The Penglai Fairy saw potential in Lu Changsheng, but after all, he had cultivated for too short a time.

The Zhong Zhou Conclave would have old monsters who had practiced for ten or twenty thousand years, gathering a host of experts.

Ancestor Daoist Taiqing of Mount Shu just happened to be at his peak when he encountered the Zhong Zhou Conclave and even defeated the master of the Star Pavilion, which is why even now, the Star Pavilion still knows of a sect called Mount Shu.

It was just that apart from Daoist Taiqing and Immortal Green Lotus, other sect leaders of Mount Shu did not stand out much during the Zhong Zhou Conclave—either their talents were insufficient or they did not encounter the Conclave at the peak of their abilities.

Lu Changsheng did not refute.

He simply wanted to cultivate until he ascended to the Immortal Realm. As for the Zhong Zhou Conclave, it would be ideal if he could secure a good ranking for Mount Shu, but even if eliminated, as long as he didn't finish last, that would suffice.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng still had more than a hundred years to cultivate, and his cultivation could still advance several realms.

After the banquet had ended, the Penglai Fairy indeed sent dozens of secret techniques to Lu Changsheng, including the Heaven Rank swordsmanship "Penglai Sword Song" unique to the Penglai Sword Sect, indicating the sincerity of the Penglai Fairy.

Having dealt with the crisis of the Penglai Sword Sect, Lu Changsheng made his way back home, returning to Mount Shu to enter seclusion for a hundred years, not only to prepare for the Zhong Zhou Conclave but also to deal with the escaped Luo Feng.

Luo Feng's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds and would become a serious problem sooner or later.

Upon leaving Penglai Immortal Island, Xia Ningxue transmitted a message to Lu Changsheng, "Why didn't you accept the Penglai Fairy's offer? The Penglai Fairy is considered the number one beauty of Luzhou and possesses the Spirit Sword Physique, with many pursuing her."

"Oh, then I'll go back to the Nine Heavens True Sovereign Palace right now and accept her offer."

"No, no, that's not what I meant..."

Xia Ningxue's face flushed red.

When she glanced at Lu Changsheng out of the corner of her eye and realized that he had no intention of going back, his expression teasing, she understood she had been played by Lu Changsheng.

With her ears burning, Xia Ningxue turned her face away.

Lu Changsheng smiled inwardly; Xia Ningxue was indeed, like her master, somewhat prideful and tsundere.

It was rare for Lu Changsheng to feel like teasing Xia Ningxue when his fourth disciple, Shen Xiaoyao, transmitted to him, "Master, I have had some realizations on this trip. Upon returning to Qingyun Peak, I plan to immediately undergo Tribulation."

Shen Xiaoyao, with a Pure Yang Body, was also on the verge of breaking through to the Dao Palace realm.
