Fishing the Myriad Heavens

A benevolent look flashed across Xi Ling"s eyes. He was extremely satisfied with this disciple of his. Besides, Lu Buhui"s performance during the examination was good.

Lu Buhui"s abilities were a little weak now, and her talent was not the best, being at least far from peak geniuses he had seen so far.

However, who could ever properly understand a thing like fate? Right now, Lu Buhui was becoming more and more satisfied as he looked at Lu Buhui.

So what if her talent was weak? So what if her strength was lacking? Under his tutelage, even the clumsiest pig could be groomed into an exceptional King of Beasts among the Thousand Year King realm!

At the same time, the other five people behind Xi Ling were somewhat stunned. No matter how they looked at her, they couldn"t figure out what was so good about Lu Buhui.

One had to know that Xi Ling was a Ten Thousand Year Supremacy, okay?! And even among the Ten Thousand Year Realm cultivators, he could be considered a hegemonic character! To explain so much to Bei Feng was simply giving Lu Buhui face.

Facing a mere Thousand Year King character, there wasn"t a need to explain so much.

As the five indulged in their thoughts, they continuously shot glances of admiration towards Lu Buhui. As for things like envy, scorn, or malicious intentions, all of it was buried deeply in their hearts. Those who dared to display those kinds of looks in front of Xi Ling had already died long ago.

There were some who even had the thought of sucking up to Lu Buhui, but even if they didn"t do that, they would try to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with her.

The five of them were at most only Xi Ling"s disciples-in-name. Compared to a personal disciple like Lu Buhui, their status was not worth a mention at all.

Even though they were all Thousand Year King realm peak level martial experts, they still wouldn"t dare to offend Lu Buhui. They could only suppress all their dissatisfaction, burying it deep in their hearts.

Bei Feng nodded, and said, “To be able to acknowledge Senior as her master is Buhui"s fortune. Senior, I wish to have a word privately with Buhui.”

“En.” Xi Ling nodded with a faint smile as he took a sip from the teacup. At this moment, Lu Buhui was the only person he cared about. As for the others, he didn"t put them in his eyes at all.

It was the same even though he knew that Bei Feng was a seed of the Eternal Heaven Sect. As long as Bei Feng had not become an official disciple of the Eternal Heaven Sect, he did not have the qualifications to enter Xi Ling"s eyes.

Although such seedlings were rare, it was not a small number in perspective. Every year, over ten thousand people were given this status as the seeds of the Eternal Heaven Sect.

But that alone didn"t mean anything. Any seed that did not pa.s.s the examination of the Eternal Heaven Sect within five years would immediately be struck off the list.

Sometimes, not even a single person would manage to pa.s.s the test even in several hundred years.

There were too many geniuses that didn"t actualize their potential. How many people had the ability to step into the Ten Thousand Year Realm and stand on equal grounds with Xi Ling?

Bei Feng did not mind as well. It didn"t matter how many amazing, miraculous encounters he"d experienced. At the end of the day, he still hadn"t grown strong enough yet.

Bei Feng nodded at Lu Buhui and left, and Lu Buhui immediately followed obediently behind him.

Bei Feng turned around, and said, “Buhui, this is an opportunity that belongs to you; you must not waste it. The Lu Family still has me here, so there"s no need to worry. Cultivate with a peace of mind.”

Perhaps because of the natural instinct of this body, Bei Feng also felt a close kins.h.i.+p and care for Lu Buhui.

The human brain was not the only thing that could hold memory; even the cells were capable of doing that!

A single cell could hold an insignificant amount of memory, but when all the cells in the body were combined together, it made an enormous difference.

Although Lu Qintian"s soul had already left when Bei Feng invaded this body, and even the remaining traces of the soul had been wiped away by him, Bei Feng had no way of erasing the memories stored inside the cells. This was a deep love and care for the members of the Lu Family that remained deeply ingrained in his very bones.

Although Bei Feng had already replaced all the old cells with his increased cultivation, and was no longer influenced by the instincts of the body, he did not reject this kind of feelings.

While it was true that Lu Qintian would"ve been dead without a doubt even if Bei Feng hadn"t taken Lu Qintian"s body, since he"d still stolen the other"s body, he naturally had sown some karma with Lu Qintian!

Cultivation was ultimately a process of tempering the heart. Bei Feng did not wish to have his heart bothered by the effects of karma when he was breaking through in the future.

Karma was something that couldn"t be seen or touched, but it definitely existed. Perhaps a single seed of karma that was sown unintentionally today could become a huge stumbling stone in the future.

Right now, Lu Qintian"s original wishes had already been completely fulfilled by Bei Feng, so this seed of karma had also naturally been resolved.

“I understand, Grandpa. I will definitely cultivate seriously. When I have time in the future, I will come back to see you.”

Lu Buhui felt somewhat unwilling to leave, but she also knew that it was a huge opportunity for her. She did not wish for something like the Zeng Family incident to happen to the family again as well.

“En, I have some resources here for you. Although your master is most likely not lacking in resources, either, this is still something that I want to give you. Take it and use it when you"ve reached a safe place. You can"t tell even your master, understand?”

Bei Feng nodded, and placed a spatial ring into Lu Buhui"s palm. This spatial ring was filled with large amounts of spirit herbs, consisting of a tenth of Bei Feng"s entire collection!

These spirit herbs were not common stuff, and were even useful for Thousand Year Kings.

At the same time, Bei Feng took out a jade bottle with a solemn expression. Inside the jade bottle was a tiny bean-sized drop of jade green liquid. Bei Feng"s powerful mental power surged out instantly, covering the 10-meter-wide area around them tightly.

“I understand, Grandpa.”

Lu Buhui"s eyes turned red. Looking at the serious look on Bei Feng"s face, Lu Buhui knew that the liquid in the bottle was definitely extraordinary, and she hurriedly kept the little jade bottle.

“This liquid can increase your comprehension. If news of this thing spread outside, the entire Lu Family would be at risk of extermination. You must be careful!” Bei Feng warned seriously.

Lu Buhui froze for a moment, and hurriedly nodded. “En, please set your mind at ease, Grandpa.”

Wow, this was a treasure that could improve comprehension! It was something that was sure to raise a storm of blood and war! To think that such a treasure would suddenly land in her hands.

At the same time, Lu Buhui also understood why her grandpa was so serious to remind her so repeatedly. A man"s wealth brought his own ruin by inciting others" greed!

Such a precious treasure was clearly not something that the Lu Family could possess. Even if it was just a single drop, it was enough to incur the greed of the ma.s.ses.

A moment later, Bei Feng and Lu Buhui returned to the hall. Lu Buhui"s eyes were somewhat red, and she went to say a few soft words to Lu Liang and her mother at the side.

Bei Feng cupped his fists as he bowed at Xi Ling, and said solemnly, “From hereon, Buhui will be in the care of Senior.”

“Don"t worry, I will naturally ensure Buhui"s safety if she follows me.” Xi Ling nodded and smiled. At the same time, Lu Buhui walked over to Xi Ling"s side as she looked sadly at Lu Liang and her mother.

Following that, Xi Ling stood up. Lu Liang and the rest did not feel anything from that one move, but for the Thousand Year King realm cultivators like Lu Bu and Bei Feng, this move was exceptionally terrifying.

A light shone from the inside of Xi Ling"s body, and a layer of golden energy flowed like a river along his body. Right now, this Xi Ling did not look like an old man at all.

As Xi Ling waved his hand, a terrifying energy burst out, and in an instant, Lu Buhui and the rest disappeared.

“Is that teleportation?!” Bei Feng"s eyes widened with shock. Xi Ling"s movements were no longer simply a matter of speed. No matter how fast a person"s speed was, there would still be a trail to follow. But, from Bei Feng"s perception, the group had disappeared from the spot in an instant, without leaving a single trace.

“Wait, that wasn"t instant teleportation. It"s a kind of movement technique that compresses the ground into an inch?” Bei Feng murmured to himself. Even if this wasn"t true teleportation, it was still exceedingly terrifying.

Up in the sky, the ‘Sky Sword" model s.h.i.+p suddenly shook, and disappeared from the sky in an instant. That kind of terrifying speed could cause even a Thousand Year King to feel despair.

“Congratulations, Lu Family Head, the Lu Family has a great granddaughter, huh!”

“Indeed, Buhui has already been accepted as a disciple of a powerful figure, so the Lu Family"s days of prosperity are in sight!”

“I"ve always known that this child"s—Buhui"s—talent was exceedingly good; as expected, she managed to stand out from the crowd and enter the University of Tianmu. Ah, as expected of a Heavenly Chosen prodigy! I say we should throw a grand celebration feast!”

The moment Xi Ling"s group left, the people of San Chuan School immediately crowded over and congratulated Bei Feng.

Anyone with half an eye could already see that the Lu Family was going to rise up from here on. A descendant of the Lu Family had been accepted as a disciple by a powerful figure. With a master like that, even the tiniest crumbs that fell from his hands were enough for the Lu Family to grow into a terrifying hegemon.

At the same time, Lu Buhui had achieved great things herself, and managed to gain admission into the University of Tianmu. Her future was also inestimable!

If they didn"t start sucking up now, then what were they waiting for?

“En, there"s no need for the celebration, since our Lu Family is leaving San Chuan City in a few days. Everyone, please make yourselves at home. This old man was in the middle of a secluded cultivation; now that the matter is over, I shall be resuming my cultivation.” Bei Feng nodded to the people from San Chuan School, and beckoned to the housekeeper. After leaving some instructions, he disappeared from sight.

The faces of the people from San Chuan School stiffened, and they only exchanged a few more words with Lu Liang and the rest before leaving.

“Hmph! Petty, base people!”

“Indeed, it"s just a little Lu Buhui. If Lu Buhui hadn"t been accepted as a disciple of that grand figure, they wouldn"t dare to disrespect us like that.”

“No matter what, Lu Buhui was groomed by us. Now that she"s succeeded, and the chicken has risen into the skies as a phoenix, the Lu Family no longer puts us in their eyes.”

Tang Li was obviously very dissatisfied with the others" att.i.tudes towards Bei Feng, and she revealed a look of disdain on her face. Initially, it was them who refused to support and groom Lu Buhui, but now that she had gained admission into the University of Tianmu, this bunch of disgraceful old things wanted to claim credit for her achievements.

They made it sound as if Lu Buhui would not have made it into the University of Tianmu without them. The school had already started to decline now, and it was not just San Chuan School—it was the same for all the schools on Tianmu Planet!

At first, the schools made no social distinctions in teaching, providing education for all people without discrimination. Everybody interacted and exchanged knowledge together, and each school was a place to learn and gain knowledge. But all that had changed.

Tianmu Planet had not seen war for tens of thousands of years now, and the structure of the schools had already started to decline. There weren"t many people who could calm their hearts down to pursue knowledge, and there weren"t many people willing to share their knowledge freely.

In contrast, it was the schools based inside the Heaven Connecting Tower that were flouris.h.i.+ng. All kinds of gifted cultivators appeared constantly, and every school was refined with blood and fire!

At that moment, Tang Li made a decision. San Chuan School was too small for her, and there was no way for her to grow here anymore.

As the crowd became more heated in their discussion, a middle-aged teacher suddenly said, “The Lu Family is an existence that had destroyed the City Lord Manor…”

As his words landed, the people who were cursing the Lu Family suddenly grew silent, and the atmosphere turned awkward.
