Chapter 277: Lu Yang as a Role Model

If Lu Yang hadn't been sure when he first saw the pill formula whether the "river water" mentioned by the pill refiner Qing He was the water of the Mother-Child River.

Soon, the words of the Decayed Fairy that rang in his mental space made Lu Yang firm in this idea.

"Eh, is it Qing He? This little girl is my most devout believer, and her actions are very much in line with my wishes."

"River water?"

"I have seen in an ancient book that there was a river in the ancient era, and women who drank the water of this river could become pregnant."

"There is such magical river water?" The Seventh Elder was very surprised; he had never heard of such a river.

Lu Yang thought to himself, what is this? Seventh Elder, have you ever seen a river that can grow sister flowers?

Under the guidance of the Decayed Fairy, Lu Yang's knowledge had already surpassed that of Body Integration stage cultivators.

The Seventh Elder was not surprised that Lu Yang knew ancient secrets. This was revealed when Lu Yang served as the acting Sect Master to receive the Five Elements Sect. Considering that Lu Yang was Miss Yun Zhi's Junior Brother, it was understandable that he knew ancient secrets.

"Where did this river water come from? Could it be naturally born river water?"

Lu Yang hesitated. The Mother-Child River water was refined by the Decayed Fairy, but the existence of the Decayed Fairy could not be known to outsiders.

"Just say it's river water refined by the Ying Tian Immortal. Anyway, he already snatched the authorship of my cookbook, so it doesn't matter if he adds a Mother-Child River!" The Decayed Fairy waved her hand, appearing quite generous.

Lu Yang respected the Decayed Fairy's wishes and said to the Seventh Elder: "It is river water refined by the Ying Tian Immortal in the ancient era."

"So that's it. An Immortal's action must be extraordinary. It is within reason that he refined such river water that violates common sense."

The Seventh Elder quickly believed Lu Yang's statement.

"By the way, why are you here?"

Lu Yang took out the Heaven-Herding Grass and recounted the whole story: "That's how it is. Senior Sister said this grass should be disposed of by you."

The Seventh Elder's eyes lit up: "It's actually a spiritual grass that has developed intelligence. It's truly rare. Most spiritual herbs that have developed intelligence do not do evil, so it's not convenient to refine them into pills. Finally, a spiritual herb has fallen into my hands!"

It was the first time the Seventh Elder was allowed to use a herb that had developed intelligence to refine pills, and he was very happy: "The value of a Heaven-Herding Grass that has developed intelligence is immeasurable. Say it, what do you want? I will satisfy you!"

Lu Yang waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, no need. The Heaven-Herding Grass has harmed countless people. It's enough to be able to dispose of this grass."

Seeing that Lu Yang didn't want anything, the Seventh Elder made the decision for him: "How can that be? How about this, I will refine pills for you three times for free."

His pill refining technique might not have many people stronger than him in the entire cultivation world. Asking him to refine pills once was enough to empty the foundation of a Void Refinement stage cultivator.

Leaving the Pill Cauldron Peak, on Lu Yang's way back to Heaven Gate Peak, more than a dozen people walked toward him. Their eyes lit up when they saw Lu Yang.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Lu!" Their neat shouting startled Lu Yang.

Lu Yang noticed that these dozen people were both men and women, similar in age to himself.

"Are you... Junior Brother Wei Nanfei, Junior Sister Jin Qinqin?" Lu Yang recognized these dozen people; they were disciples who had entered the Profound Heaven Sect with him.

Junior Brother Wei Nanfei was poisoned by his stepmother when he was young and was lucky enough to be helped by Senior Brother Dai Bufan who was passing by.

Junior Sister Jin Qinqin had taken a fruit in the valley, which was the Green Wood Immortal Fruit, which could make the energy in the body flow endlessly and circulate on its own.

He hadn't seen them before, so he thought they hadn't formed their foundation yet. They had recently succeeded in forming their foundation, so they were allowed to come out and walk around.

Lu Yang scanned with his spiritual sense, and sure enough, these dozen Junior Brothers and Sisters had all formed their foundations.

Forming a foundation at this age was already a genius in the outside world and could allow the Sect Master of a First-Grade Sect to cultivate them as the next Sect Master.

The five of them were special cases. In the Senior Sister's words, the talent of the five of them was proof of the arrival of a great era. The Profound Heaven Sect had never recruited five disciples with world-leading talent in the same batch.

The Junior Brothers and Sisters all looked at Lu Yang with admiring eyes.

Is this the legendary Senior Brother Lu Yang?

They had just formed their foundations, while Senior Brother Lu Yang had already formed his core, a difference of a whole major realm.

They heard that Senior Brother Lu Yang had served as the acting Sect Master, which was the first time in the Profound Heaven Sect, where geniuses were common.

They heard from the Senior Brothers who participated in the Five Elements Sect exchange that Senior Brother Lu Yang was proficient in Five Elements spells, knew Samadhi True Fire, Earth-Shrinking, Water-Avoiding Technique, could create clones, and his sword technique was the best among his peers!

It was difficult to learn one of them, let alone learn them all.

A role model.

They secretly made up their minds that they must learn from Senior Brother Lu Yang and catch up with his pace as soon as possible!

Lu Yang encouraged the Junior Brothers and Sisters and said: "Senior Sister has something to find me for, I'll go first."

"Goodbye, Senior Brother Lu Yang!" The Junior Brothers and Sisters enthusiastically sent Lu Yang off, reluctant to part.

Along the way, Lu Yang had a smile on his face. The feeling of having Junior Brothers and Sisters was not bad.

"Senior Sister, I'm back."

The Senior Sister was handling official business, resolving complaints from various parties against the Profound Heaven Sect, such as the Five Elements Sect Master strongly condemning the Second Elder's harassment of his mother.

And for example, the Five Elements Sect Master's mother hoped that the Second Elder could send some novel gifts next time.

And for example, the Unspoken Daoist stumbled into prison, hoping Miss Yun Zhi would act as a guarantor to bail him out.

And for example, some people hoped to hear the follow-up to the Unspoken Daoist's "Legend of the Profound Heaven Sect" and applied to be locked up next to the Unspoken Daoist. The Great Xia Dynasty hoped Miss Yun Zhi would quickly bail the Unspoken Daoist out; now the prison was full of prisoners who came to listen to the Unspoken Daoist's storytelling.

She rubbed her brows lightly, unable to understand why the Profound Heaven Sect, which was thriving, had so many troublesome things to deal with.

How did she remember that there weren't so many troubles when Master was the Sect Master?

The Senior Sister stood up and signaled Lu Yang to come over: "Since you're back, then come with me."

"Where to?" Lu Yang was curious.

"After the Decayed Sect was destroyed, the Sect Master confessed the location of the Decayed Sect's origin, which is where the first Sect Master saw the ruins of the Decayed Immortal."

"The Great Xia Dynasty once sent people there to investigate. The report stated that there were many things suspected to be from the ancient era. Because the ancient era was too far away, the writing, inheritance, ancient language... were all just the tip of the iceberg. Facing those things from the ancient era, the Great Xia Dynasty did not dare to act rashly, fearing that rash action would damage these things."

"Regarding the ancient era, I don't know as much as the Decayed Senior, and this matter is closely related to the Senior, so the Senior should go."

"After the Great Xia Dynasty told me about this, I originally wanted to take you and the Senior to explore the ruins together. At that time, you were training in the dense forest and were at a critical period of forming what kind of Golden Core, so I didn't disturb you."

"Now that you have successfully formed your core, I can rest assured and take you to the ruins."

As the Senior Sister said this, she walked out of the cave, waved to the sky, a gap appeared in the sky, and white clouds descended from the sky, falling in front of the Senior Sister.

"Let's go."
