Chapter 174

The people around were all stunned upon hearing this.

They had not expected that Lu Changsheng would flatly refuse everyone's recruitment.

A group of people looked at Qin Zhaoyang with eyes full of envy.

"Lord Lu, don't be in such a hurry to refuse; you can consider it more. Our Gongyang Family also has beautiful daughters of the direct line."

A man in black was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

Lu Changsheng's growth experience was very simple; he had been in Changping County the whole time.

Those with interest all knew that Qin Zhaoyang's daughter had been sent there.

Clearly, something must have happened between the two, otherwise Lu Changsheng could not have leaned toward the Marquis of Wuyang.

Since Qin Zhaoyang could win him over with his daughter, they could too.

This was the thinking of certain people; the temptation brought by a future top-tier powerhouse was simply too great.

"Our Mu Family also has noble daughters..."

"Our Jiang Family's direct daughter's appearance is peerless in Qiong Prefecture..."

A group of people reacted immediately, looking at Lu Changsheng with eyes full of anticipation.

Hoping to pry this peerless Heavenly Pride over.

"Shameless."

Qin Zhaoyang cursed inwardly; he hadn't expected these people to be so unscrupulous in order to win over Lu Changsheng.

They were even using various beauty traps.

Luo Tianxiang on the left sank his face, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.

Seeing Lu Changsheng refuse without any courtesy, he stopped asking for trouble.

Having lost face, he was quite angry in his heart.

"Thank you all for your kindness, but this seat is not considering taking a wife for the time being."

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and refused everyone again.

Hearing this, everyone finally lowered their flags and ceased their drums, their eyes full of regret.

They became even more jealous of Qin Zhaoyang for having such good luck.

"It seems I still need to let Qin Ruobing contact him more to build affection..."

Qin Zhaoyang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He didn't have many chips he could play; don't look at him as a Marquis, he was only one of the many children of an Emperor.

The resources he could control were far less than these top-tier noble families.

Seeing Lu Changsheng completely unmoved also made him feel relieved.

He planned to go to the Capital City to invite famous teachers to instruct Lu Changsheng, helping the other party rapidly ascend to the position of Grandmaster.

"Hmph... the hurdle of Grandmaster is not easy to pass; without the guidance of a famous teacher, many geniuses will also fade into the crowd."

Luo Tianxiang curled his lips into a cold sneer.

Most of the geniuses present had masters, only Lu Changsheng was a maverick, refusing all recruitment.

It must be said that this person Lu Changsheng was truly arrogant.

The people in the arena moved their eyes slightly upon hearing this.

They also quite agreed with Luo Tianxiang's words; even if Lu Changsheng did not lack martial arts techniques, without the guidance of a top-tier Grandmaster, he might take many detours.

In the past, there had been those who thought themselves high and mighty, but in the end, they didn't even break through the Grandmaster hurdle.

It was truly regrettable.

Even Ke Yanfeng, Ji Wenrui, and others were full of surprise.

Such a good opportunity to be under the command of a famous teacher, and they hadn't expected Lu Changsheng to refuse.

They all had Grandmaster elders to teach them, which was how they reached this step.

None of them believed that Lu Changsheng could grow into a human titan by relying solely on himself.

After all, even a Holy Son with a Divine Body needed a famous teacher to lead the way.

A group of people nearby began to discuss it one after another, their faces full of doubt.

Lu Changsheng's expression remained as calm as water.

He had no intention of finding a "big mountain" to place over his head.

Having the Attribute Panel and still going to take a master would be extremely stupid.

One must know that the master-disciple relationship is not ordinary, second only to the father-son relationship.

Taking a master was purely looking for trouble for himself.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had no intention of changing his mind, everyone turned their gazes toward Ke Yanfeng and the others.

They began to recruit them one after another.

Not long after, Ji Wenrui, Ke Yanfeng, and many other Heavenly Prides all found famous teachers, their faces full of joy.

This Ten Thousand Flower Fruit gathering was also one of the opportunities for these Heavenly Prides to find famous teachers.

"Next time, I will never lose to you."

Ji Wenrui's eyes were burning with divine light.

He chose to be under the name of a top-tier Grandmaster; with the other party's guidance, he would definitely be able to improve rapidly, and there was a great hope of defeating Lu Changsheng next year.

"This seat will wait for you to challenge me."

Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.

He didn't believe that any Grandmaster's teaching could compare to his Attribute Panel.

If he were defeated by the other party, he might as well find a piece of tofu and hit his head against it.

The people around saw this, and a trace of interest appeared in their eyes.

In their view, with the guidance of a famous teacher, Ji Wenrui, this peerless figure of Yin-Yang unity, might really be able to defeat Lu Changsheng.

After all, Lu Changsheng choosing to cultivate alone was a bit too arrogant.

"Step, step, step..."

Just at this moment, a man in black held a red tray with both hands and walked slowly toward Lu Changsheng.

His expression was very respectful.

In the large tray, there were twenty spiritual fruits emitting a cyan luster.

Wisps of faint fragrance drifted in the void, making one's spirit feel refreshed.

"Lord Lu, this is your reward."

The man carefully held the tray above his head.

"Hmm."

Amidst the envious gazes of the people around, Lu Changsheng scooped up all the spiritual fruits and tucked them into a cloth bag at his waist.

Afterward, he leaped up and fled rapidly toward the front.

A white radiance traveled through the thick mist, leaving behind a long passage.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the square.

Not long after.

Lu Changsheng returned to his own small courtyard.

He took out a Ten Thousand Flower Fruit and picked one up to examine it carefully.

He saw that each spiritual fruit was only the size of an infant's fist, covered with golden light spots, which was quite miraculous.

Twenty spiritual fruits lay quietly on the stone table.

Even the spiritual Qi in the surroundings became much richer.

"Is this the Ten Thousand Flower Fruit?"

Lu Changsheng's expression was quite happy.

After months of fighting, he had finally won first place.

【Discovered a Grade 7 spiritual fruit, Ten Thousand Flower Fruit; absorb?】

At this time, a crisp prompt sound rang in his mind.

"Grade 7 spiritual fruit?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes moved slightly.

He hadn't expected that in the system's judgment, this kind of spiritual fruit would reach Grade 7.

According to some ancient records, since the birth of heaven and earth, many acquired spiritual roots had grown in this world.

The fruits produced by these spiritual roots were spiritual fruits.

Generally, there was a distinction between Grade 1 spiritual roots and Grade 9 spiritual roots.

Among them, Grade 1 spiritual roots were naturally the most precious, and together with Grade 2 and Grade 3, they were called the Upper Three Grades of spiritual roots.

It was difficult to find traces of them in the entire world.

A Grade 7 spiritual fruit was already extremely good.

"Absorb."

Lu Changsheng did not hesitate anymore and chanted in his heart.

【Source Energy Points +2000.】

【Source Energy Points +2000.】

An endless stream of prompt sounds came, and the resources in his hands were rapidly increasing, as if there were no limit.

Not long after, the spiritual fruits on the stone table all disappeared.

Open the panel.

Source Energy Points: 75600.

After collecting for these days, plus the spiritual fruits this time, it had already reached over seventy thousand.

And he had also bet 100 Source Crystal Stones, so there would soon be another big wave of income.

He was not far from his next breakthrough.

The next day, early morning.

The morning sun rose, and golden light sprinkled over the entire Yunzhou City.

Lu Changsheng was resting in the courtyard when he suddenly sensed movement coming from the door ahead.

He turned his head to look.

He saw several burly men in black walking toward the courtyard with respectful faces.

The group was also carrying a cloth bag in their hands.

Not long after, the group arrived in front of Lu Changsheng.

The leader was a tall, sturdy man with a cultivation level around the early Xiantian stage.

"Lord Lu, the little ones have brought your spiritual items."

The man's eyes were full of awe, and while speaking, he also looked at Lu Changsheng, fearing to cause Lu Changsheng's dissatisfaction.

Their gambling house had spent an entire night just to barely scrape together these Source Crystal Stones.

It was practically a massive hemorrhage.

Even so, no one had the slightest thought of reneging on the debt.

The deterrent power of a top-tier Heavenly Pride was still extremely terrifying.

Toward Lu Changsheng, they dared not be negligent in the slightest.

"Hmm, put the things down."

Lu Changsheng's expression was as calm as water, and he picked up a wine cup and drank it in one gulp.

Wisps of warmth rose from his abdomen.

"We take our leave."

The burly man in black led the group and retreated slowly.

Not long after, they disappeared from the courtyard.

Lu Changsheng looked at the dense pile of Source Crystal Stones on the ground, his expression happy.

This was also a windfall.

Five thousand crystal stones were enough to make his own resources increase by another notch.

He did not hesitate anymore and immediately began to absorb them.

【Source Energy Points +10.】

【Source Energy Points +10.】

The resources in his hands began to increase rapidly again, and watching the crazily jumping panel made him very satisfied.

Not long after.

These Source Crystal Stones on the ground were all absorbed completely.

Open the panel.

Source Energy Points: 125700.

The resources in his hands broke through the 100,000 mark again, but the 【Glazed Dharma Body】 on the panel was still gray.

He guessed that it was probably still missing just a little bit.

However, the Exotic Beast Clone was still digging for spiritual items in the small world, and it would be gathered in at most a few days.

Just as Lu Changsheng's thoughts were turning, footsteps suddenly came from the front.

He saw Qin Zhaoyang bringing Qin Ruoshui walking rapidly toward Lu Changsheng.

Both of them were full of smiles, clearly in a very good mood.

"I wonder what business the Marquis has in coming to find me?"

A trace of doubt appeared in Lu Changsheng's eyes.

He didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Qin Zhaoyang was also not polite, coming to the stone table and sitting down.

Afterward, he smiled and said: "You are very good; I am also at ease entrusting my daughter Ruobing to you."

"Although this Marquis cannot instruct you, I have some connections in the Capital City. If you go to the Capital City with me, even if I have to lower my face, I will find a famous teacher for you..."

While speaking, he picked up the spiritual wine on the table and drank it in one gulp, very freely.

In his view, only the guidance of a top-tier Grandmaster could bring out Lu Changsheng's greatest potential.

As his designated son-in-law, he would definitely do his utmost.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of a heavenly treasure.

"I appreciate the Marquis's good intentions, but I have no plans to take a master."

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and refused directly.

The two of them were stunned, their eyes full of disbelief.

They hadn't expected that Lu Changsheng would refuse such a "good thing."

Now the situation in the Great Zhou was becoming increasingly critical, with demons surrounding them, and some surrounding countries had even been conquered, becoming breeding grounds for demons.

In such a chaotic situation, Lu Changsheng still didn't seize the opportunity to be under the command of a famous teacher to rapidly strengthen himself.

This was simply nonsense.

Yesterday on the square, Lu Changsheng refused everyone, and the two of them thought the other party would choose to let Qin Zhaoyang arrange it.

The result, however, was completely different.

"Bing'er is still in the Capital City waiting for you, and she often mentions you to her father..."

Qin Zhaoyang hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Some top-tier techniques without the guidance of a Grandmaster could easily lead to mistakes in cultivation.

He really didn't want to see a peerless Heavenly Pride delayed because of this.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng didn't look like he was joking, he had no choice but to take out Qin Ruobing to play the emotional card.

"Thank you for your good intentions, Marquis, but I am used to cultivating alone."

Lu Changsheng refused again, his tone very solemn.

Qin Ruoshui on the side also showed regret.

At this moment, she actually felt a trace of complicated thoughts.

She felt somewhat secretly happy in her heart that Lu Changsheng was not going to the Capital City.

She planned to stay in Qingning Prefecture for a period of time.

"Sigh... if you change your mind, come find me anytime."

Seeing that Lu Changsheng was very firm, Qin Zhaoyang found it hard to persuade him further.

If the other party insisted on cultivating alone, it would probably take ten years to pass the Grandmaster hurdle.

It was truly taking many detours.

Afterward, the few of them exchanged for a moment, and Qin Zhaoyang and the other left.

Lu Changsheng watched their backs quietly, his thoughts surging.

As he expected, Qin Zhaoyang was indeed Qin Ruobing's father.

Next, he planned to break through to Grandmaster within a year, and then go to the Capital City to pick up Qin Ruobing.

In the Capital City, where experts were as numerous as clouds, Xiantian strength was still not enough.

Over the next few days.

The news of Lu Changsheng powerfully defeating all the Heavenly Prides and winning the championship this time spread instantly throughout the entire Great Zhou.

Countless martial artists were shocked.

They hadn't expected that among this generation of Heavenly Prides, a Heavenly Pride who cultivated the invincible path would appear.

And he had succeeded.

It simply overturned everyone's cognition.

Some geniuses repeatedly studied Lu Changsheng's deeds.

They even took him as an idol; after all, rising from the status of a commoner was too rare.

It was hard to encounter even once in a thousand years.

Prince Yong's Mansion.

Inside a side hall.

Qin Ruobing looked at the intelligence in her hand, her face flushed with excitement, and her heart was incomparably happy.

She hadn't expected that Lu Changsheng could defeat all the Heavenly Prides and ascend to the position of King.

"My child, your father will be able to come pick us up soon."

She gently stroked her high-rising belly, her eyes full of tenderness.

Although rumors had been rampant in the Marquis's mansion these days, she had been silently enduring it.

She firmly believed that one day, she would be able to break any slander.

The status of a peerless powerhouse was incomparable.

Lu Changsheng clearly had this potential, and she only needed to wait quietly.

Half a month later.

Qingning Prefecture.

In the center of a magnificent hall.

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged on the ground, his expression very solemn.

Half a month ago, he had returned to Qingning Prefecture.

And after these days of strenuous digging, he had finally gathered the resource points.

As the Tianyao Gate disciples colluded with some sects and frequently took action, the entire Qing Prefecture was also showing signs of chaos.

He planned to start breaking through his cultivation now.

Open the panel.

Source Energy Points: 158000.

Seeing the plus sign behind 【Glazed Dharma Body】 light up again.

Lu Changsheng did not hesitate and immediately clicked on the technique.

As the Source Energy Points decreased by 150,000.

A fluctuation from the netherworld descended into the depths of his mind again, as if a supreme powerhouse was preaching to him day and night.

Boom, boom, boom...

The Qi and blood in his body surged crazily, like a great river roaring, and his entire body emitted golden light, which was extremely miraculous.

【After a year of bitter cultivation, you have finally cultivated the Glazed Dharma Body to the Great Accomplishment realm.】

As the crisp prompt sound rang out, this upgrade officially ended.

Cultivation: Xiantian Late Stage.

Technique: 【Glazed Dharma Body】 (Great Accomplishment).

Looking at the changes on the panel, Lu Changsheng was quite happy.

He clenched his fists tightly, and a shocking power surged into his heart, as if he could break the void in front of him.

After this cultivation breakthrough, his strength surged by another large notch.

His speed and defense also underwent a qualitative change.

In this increasingly dangerous world, the improvement of strength is the foundation.

It made him very fascinated.
