Chapter 30: Saint Takes Disciples! Summoner Timed Dungeon: The Ancient Call!

Regarding Fu Cangli being able to locate his existence, Lu Zheng didn't find it surprising; no matter how much he hides, he can't avoid the fact that using a teleportation array requires a real name.

And as long as there's a clue, following the trail with the Saint's influence, finding a person is too easy.

He was rather curious about what Fu Cangli wanted from him.

But after a moment's thought, it shouldn't be anything bad, since the two have no enmity and even have a bit of connection.

Then let's meet.

"Please, General, lead the way!"

Lu Zheng said politely, then turned to Dan Tai Chengfeng and laughed, "Looks like we have to wait for me to return before continuing."

"You go ahead. If you need anything, come find me anytime; I, as a Grand Master, can still lend a hand."

Dan Tai Chengfeng said so, giving Lu Zheng confidence.

The old man is easy to get along with; when there's business, he gets straight to it! Not long after, led by a black‑armored warrior, Lu Zheng arrived at a huge courtyard—the Saint's Residence.

He also saw Fu Cangli sitting in a pavilion.

At this moment he had already removed his gear; his long hair remained, without any white strands. By appearance he seemed in his thirties or forties, but in fact he was sixty‑five.

Fu Cangli has never married; he has fought for the nation, shedding blood and sweat, and remains solitary to this day.

Upon entering the courtyard, Lu Zheng had already taken off his mask.

After Lu Zheng approached, Fu Cangli nodded and praised, "You haven't even taken the Imperial Examination yet, and you've already reached level 58. I fear that before the exam you will already undergo the second ascension. This talent, across the entire Alliance, is among the top, even a notch stronger than I was back then! Could you have obtained a legendary‑class profession? But that shouldn't be; if it were a legendary profession, it would have been advertised long ago."

"Hmm, you must have acquired some top‑tier talent, right?"

Lu Zheng, hearing this, immediately replied respectfully:

"Indeed so. I am merely a common profession, Summoner. But I have obtained a very strong talent; I consider that with this talent, I'm only a few points shy of an Epic‑level profession."

"Ha ha! You're no worse than an Epic‑level professional! I told you, you're far stronger than I was. My Dragon‑blood Warrior God profession ranks among the top Epic‑level jobs; you are far stronger than I was at the same time, and your potential is definitely legendary! I only found that you came from the lower Battle Preparation City; where are you from?"

Fu Cangli asked.

Lu Zheng immediately replied, "I'm from Liyang City, a graduate of Liyang City No. 1 High School—your alma mater. You've always been my idol; today, seeing you battle that Saint‑tier monster filled me with great admiration!"

Everyone likes compliments, especially when they bridge a gap; Lu Zheng wasn't shy at all.

Upon hearing that Lu Zheng also came from Liyang City No. 1 High School, Fu Cangli burst into laughter.

"Ha ha! Very well, I, who have never married, never expected to meet an outstanding junior successor. Though our professions differ, I can guide you to break the shackles of entering the Saint tier, provide ample resources. Will you accept me as your master?"

"Who would refuse such a boon!? A Saint‑level professional brings massive connections and wealth, and Fu Cangli has no offspring, meaning his disciple would inherit all his resources! The reason Lu Zheng missed the Nine‑Layer Demon Tower trial before was the lack of equal information."

"If a Saint‑level professional becomes your master, you'll never miss any chance for huge gains! Moreover, the other's age is already grandparent‑level; as a master, they're more than sufficient."

Lu Zheng immediately bowed and said, "Disciple greets master!" Hearing this, Fu Cangli stood, walked over to help him upright, and laughed, "Don't bow your head; it dulls your spirit! A young man should be full of vigor! Our meeting was rushed today, and I have no proper gift. Rest here a moment; I'll investigate whether there's a dungeon suitable for you to clear now. Some dungeons are level‑restricted; often the lower‑level ones have more stages and richer rewards."

Lu Zheng's eyes lit up at the words; he hadn't expected that just after taking a master, he could leverage a Saint‑level master's resources for his own benefit. He gratefully thanked, then waited right there.

He didn't keep him waiting long; only ten minutes later, Fu Cangli came over with a tablet and opened a dungeon description.

【Timed Dungeon: The Ancient Call】

【Dungeon Content: Within a set time, massive waves of monsters appear; before the dungeon ends, a final tally is made. The dungeon has low, medium, and high stages; in each stage, the profession with the highest damage output receives a reward.】

【Dungeon Requirement: Profession limited to Summoner class, and must be low‑, mid‑, or high‑level professional.】

【Recommended Participants: Summoners at level 30, 60, or 100 who have not transmuted.】

【Remaining Time: 5 days 22 hours 35 minutes】

"Your cumulative damage output is the strongest I've ever seen! My suggestion: tomorrow you undertake the mid‑level Summoner trial, using this dungeon to boost your level to 60, then complete the second ascension within three days, and proceed to the high‑level Summoner trial!"

That way, you might obtain both top‑damage rewards.

However, you may have to travel far; this dungeon is in Hongwei City, Second District of Jianhua Commandery, not close to our Fengdu City in Tianyang Commandery. Even using a teleportation array, the trip will take at least half a day.

Because your second‑ascension task is uncertain, you must allow ample time; set out early tomorrow, and return here after everything concludes.

In just ten minutes, Fu Cangli not only found Lu Zheng a usable dungeon resource but also mapped out his next steps—truly worthy of a top‑hundred Imperial figure, the Great Summer War God.

Having a master who shows such attention and care right after the oath moved Lu Zheng deeply.

"Master, rest assured, I will claim first place in both trials and not waste your effort!"

His face was full of determination, like a proud youth.

Fu Cangli laughed heartily, "Good, I believe you, but everything must prioritize survival. I became a Saint not only because of Epic‑level profession bonuses but also because I know how to stay alive; only then can I keep fighting!"

"Here's some elixirs for you; giving too much creates dependence, so I'll give you 100 of each for now."

【Item: High-level Life Recovery Potion】 ×100 【Effect: Restores 10,000 HP instantly, then 5,000 HP per second for 8 seconds】

【Item: High-level Mana Recovery Potion】 ×100 【Effect: Restores 5,000 MP instantly, then 1,000 MP per second for 5 seconds】

"Huh? Even 100 bottles aren't a lot? One High-level Life Recovery Potion restores 50,000 HP; 100 bottles equal 5,000,000 HP. As everyone knows, only a dungeon BOSS has such thick blood, so... am I the dungeon BOSS? The lowest price for a high-level potion is 1,000 gold, selling for 200,000 gold—truly worthy of a sixth‑ascension Saint! See, having a good master matters! \"Thank you, Master! I will survive! \""

Lu Zheng, pleased with his gains, left the Saint's Residence and returned to the Moon God Pavilion.
