Chapter 191

"Senior Brother Laozi, Senior Brother Yuanshi, my request of both of you is the same." Luo Fu spoke.

"Hmm…" Master Yuanshi and Laozi's gazes sharpened.

These words carried a certain meaning.

"The same request"—if it were about celestial treasures and divine herbs, they indeed possessed identical ones, but as Tongtian's direct disciple, Luo Fu shouldn't lack such treasures himself.

Then what did Luo Fu's words truly mean?

"Luo Fu, speak plainly—what exactly is your request?" Laozi's eyes gleamed with unusual light.

Luo Fu's answer was unexpected.

"Senior Brothers, I wish to hear your teachings." Luo Fu said solemnly.

"Teachings?" Laozi's eyes lit up.

He had never imagined this reply.

"Impossible," Master Yuanshi couldn't help saying.

For sages to personally impart teachings involved the very foundation of their legacies.

If it were disciples of their own sect, hearing their teachings would be no issue.

But Luo Fu was not a disciple of the Chan Sect—he was a disciple of the Jie Sect.

Master Yuanshi looked down upon the Jie Sect disciples, those countless beings born of moisture and eggs.

"Luo Fu, how could you make such a request?" Tongtian Jiaozhu frowned. "Teachings involve the very core of your two senior brothers."

"Master, for this teaching, I only need to be able to bear it myself." Luo Fu replied. "No repeated sessions are needed—this should not touch upon your two senior brothers' fundamentals."

"I see." Tongtian Jiaozhu nodded. "Luo Fu, your strength is only Jin Xian—you truly cannot absorb too much great Dao knowledge. But having your two senior brothers teach you directly is indeed problematic."

"That's true." Luo Fu nodded. "Senior Brothers, if this request is unacceptable, I'll choose another."

These words caused Master Yuanshi's expression to shift repeatedly.

Refusing Luo Fu's request would make him seem petty.

As Tongtian said, even if Luo Fu received their teachings, his Jin Xian-level power could absorb only so much.

"Yuanshi," Laozi said gravely. "Luo Fu is right. With his current strength, he cannot absorb much of our teachings. More importantly, Tongtian's Jie Sect is part of the Xuan Sect—we both belong to the Xuan Sect. Luo Fu is an Xuan Sect disciple."

"As disciples of the Xuan Sect, why should we guard our legacies so tightly?"

"This…" Master Yuanshi was speechless.

True—they had founded their own sects, but fundamentally, they all descended from Ancestor Hongjun's Xuan Sect.

"But Luo Fu, I must clarify," Laozi fixed his gaze on Luo Fu. "It's not that your senior brothers refuse to teach you—it's that my Dao differs from Tongtian's. If you accept my Dao, it may not aid your future growth; it might even harm you."

"Still, do you wish to choose to hear your senior brother's teachings?"
