Chapter 1446: Your Luck Is Just That

"That is because you are lucky, and the Xuanji Sect is considered a clear stream among Dharma Cultivators; otherwise, why do you think they have declined?" Chen Yu said, "When turbidity becomes the norm, innocence becomes a crime."

"I understand." Zhou Shan nodded.

"Mr. Chen." This disciple gave a slight bow toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu nodded in acknowledgment, then smiled and said, "I troubled you just now."

"It is no trouble, it is what I should do." The disciple smiled slightly, then bowed and left the area.

"Are you done talking? Are we leaving this place now?" Zhou Shan asked.

"I am done." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Are you reluctant to leave this place?"

"Yes, I am reluctant to leave. This place is so wonderful; I could stay here for a lifetime and never get enough." Zhou Shan greedily breathed in the air.

"Then you can just stay here," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"That won't work, I still have to go to school, and I cannot let go of my family, relatives, and friends." Zhou Shan shook her head and took one last lingering look at the place.

"For a Dharma Cultivator, severing worldly ties is the first thing to do, because your lifespan will be very long," Chen Yu said. "Perhaps after your relatives pass away one by one, you will still be able to maintain your youthful appearance."

"Immortal?" Zhou Shan was slightly stunned.

"Not exactly, lifespans are all limited, but they are very long. However, when you reach the limit, your life consciousness will exist in another form; these things are beyond our understanding." Chen Yu shook his head and said, "But by then, your relatives will have already experienced who knows how many cycles of Reincarnation."

"Furthermore, a cultivator cultivates a Dao Heart. Abandoning the Seven Emotions and severing the red dust is to hone your Dao Heart; these are all things that an entry-level Dharma Cultivator should do."

"That sounds so complicated," Zhou Shan said thoughtfully, but she had to admit that she was very interested in these things: "Then Chen Yu, can you tell me more about Dharma Cultivators?"

"I can, but for these matters, wait until you have entered the path, then go find your teacher to learn more," Chen Yu said with a slight smile.

"My teacher?" Zhou Shan looked at Chen Yu in confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.

"I said before, your natural talent is good, and you possess a Spirit Root, so you are someone suitable for cultivation," Chen Yu smiled. "If you are willing, you can join the Xuanji Sect, absorb the Spiritual Energy of the mountains and rivers, and breathe in the essence of heaven and earth here."

"Ah? I... am I really capable of that?" Zhou Shan was completely dumbfounded.

She also read novels, and in novels, it is said that anyone who encounters this kind of situation has found their destiny.

And a person's destiny is something only the protagonist in a novel would have, but now she had actually encountered such a destiny; could it be that she is the protagonist?

"Why wouldn't you be? We all think highly of your bone structure and aptitude. If we say you can, then you certainly can," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Don't you want to cultivate?"

"Let me think about it, the amount of information is just too much." Zhou Shan hurriedly patted her flushed little face in excitement, and she muttered, "This isn't a dream, this is real, is all of this really real?"

"Of course it is real, you should think it over carefully." Chen Yu was not in a hurry. For an ordinary person, the information just now was truly too much, so he had to give Zhou Shan a chance to react and let her know she was not dreaming.

Zhou Shan was excited for a long time on the side, and then her mood gradually calmed down. She turned to look at Chen Yu: "Chen Yu, I really do want to cultivate, but..."

"You cannot let go of your family?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Yes, I cannot let go of my family," Zhou Shan nodded and said: "My parents, my grandfather, as well as my classmates, friends, and relatives, I cannot let go of any of them."

"For an ordinary person like you, to be asked to suddenly let go of these things, of course you wouldn't be able to," Chen Yu nodded slightly: "But you don't need to worry. Cultivation is cultivation, but it does not mean you have to be completely separated from them."

"Elder Xiao here said that as long as you are willing, you can come and go as you please. They can take you in as a nominal disciple first and will not interfere with your normal life."

"Can it be like that?" Zhou Shan's eyes lit up. If it were really like that, then she would be very willing to come and try.

"Yes, it can be like that," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Everything will be based on your life, and then you will be allowed to slowly integrate into this world. By then, some things you think you cannot let go of now, you will be able to."

"Okay, I understand, then I am willing." Zhou Shan nodded repeatedly.

"Hehe, then I will step forward personally and take you as my disciple," Xiao Wuxiang's voice came over.

"Elder Xiao." Zhou Shan hurriedly turned around.

"Change how you address me." Xiao Wuxiang smiled slightly.

"Master." Zhou Shan was stunned, then immediately reacted.

"Good, good. Your natural talent is excellent. Think about our Xuanji Sect; we haven't taken in a disciple with that kind of talent for decades. However, the path of cultivation is extremely difficult; you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and keep a calm mind," Xiao Wuxiang said.

"I will, Master, don't you worry." Zhou Shan gave a sweet smile. She never expected that she would stumble upon such a destiny while picking herbs.

"Mr. Chen, our Sect Leader has learned of your arrival, so he has specifically come out of seclusion to talk with you," Xiao Wuxiang said.

"Sure, no problem." Chen Yu readily agreed.

The Xuanji Sect Leader, Xuan Wu, was a Daoist who looked somewhat thin, but his Cultivation was truly not low.

"Mr. Chen, news of you arrived from the Cloud Hut Residence early on. We have been waiting and hoping, and finally, you have arrived," Xuan Wu said with a chuckle.

Chen Yu smiled slightly: "It seems to be the trend of the times; the change of ownership at the Cloud Hut Residence this time is inevitable."

"Yes, actually, there are really not a few small sects like ours that suffer from their suppression," Xuan Wu sighed slightly and said: "But the Cloud Hut Residence is powerful, so those of us can only swallow our pride and live in humiliation."

"The word 'humiliation' is a bit too strong," Chen Yu said: "Sect Leader Xuan Wu simply wants to preserve the Dao Lineage of the Xuanji Sect that has lasted for hundreds of years. If it weren't for the heavy responsibility on your shoulders, who would be able to endure this oppression from the Cloud Hut Residence?"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for understanding," Xuan Wu bowed slightly and said: "I hope Mr. Chen will soon eliminate that tumor, Qingsong."

"Senior Xuan Wu, did you just come out of seclusion?" Chen Yu looked at Xuan Wu, his gaze somewhat strange.

"Yes, I just came out of seclusion. Originally, one of my sessions of Meditation would have been at least three years or more. I had just entered deep concentration this time, but upon learning that Mr. Chen had arrived, and having long since divined that a major event was about to happen at the Cloud Hut Residence, I hurried out of seclusion."
