Three to four hours pa.s.sed in a flash.
in the afternoon, Van woke Lu Ming up ahead of time. After Lu Ming had lunch, he followed Yan to the door of the courtyard.
At this moment, the courtyard door was closed. Standing in front of the door, Yan’s voice entered Lu Ming’s ears.
“Senior Brother, open this door and you will be able to go to Teacher s place.”
Stepping forward to open the gate, a swirling vortex-like virtual image appeared before Lu Ming’s eyes..
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming took a step forward and suddenly felt dizzy. When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at the small cla.s.sroom he had visited in the morning.
Lin Feng was standing beside Lu Ming, and in front of the two of them was Jiu
Han holding a book nearly half a meter thick.
Upon seeing his two disciples, Jiu Han smiled warmly.
The huge book in his hand automatically floated in front of Lin Feng. ’This is the foundation of array formations. Study it thoroughly and memorize it until you are familiar. Well proceed to the next step of teaching when you’re done.” Lin Feng immediately nodded, “1 understand, Teacher.”
The memory capability of transcendents far exceeded that of ordinary people. Although this book appeared thick, if Lin Feng worked hard, he would probably be able to study and memorize it within a week.
Jiu Han smiled again and said, “Then that’s all for now. You may go back.”
Lin Feng was puzzled,”???”
He had been looking forward to Jiu Han’s first lesson. Unexpectedly, Jiu Han had dismissed him away with just one thick book.
Looking at Jiu Han in confusion, Lin Feng noticed that Jiu Han s attention was entirely focused on Lu Ming.
A surge of frustration subconsciously welled up within him.
While Lin Feng lowered his head, a ferocious glint flashed in his eyes…
This… was what you call differential treatment.
This was also the underlying reason for Lin Feng’s desire to kill Lu Ming!
Of course, this was not something that could be done within Boshi Tower…
“But, you have offended the Divine Spirit Realm among us Subversives. Death is your only outcome!”
“You’ve chosen the wrong side, you fool!”
Shouting crazily in his heart, Lin Feng slowly retreated until he reached the door. He opened the door and found himself back in his own little courtyard.
Shi was standing before him, wearing a similarly puzzled expression. He did not seem to expect that the lesson would end in less than a minute.
“Senior Brother, you’re…”
Shi’s innocent gaze only added to Lin Feng’s frustration.
However, he smiled gently, saying, The lesson has ended. Teacher’s teaching style is indeed exceptional…”
Only Lu Ming and Jiu Han were left in the small cla.s.sroom.
Looking at Lu Ming, Jiu Han’s eyes revealed complex and faint excitement.
After a long time, Jiu Han said, “I need to check your body and silver patterns again. Is that okay?”
Lu Ming simply nodded, “Of course.”
Lu Ming had nothing to hide.
Or rather, there was nothing he could hide.
The matter of the system was indeed Lu Ming’s biggest secret, but Lu Ming did not think that Jiu Han could detect the existence of the system. Of course, there was an element of risk in this a.s.sumption. Perhaps Jiu Han could detect the systen’s existence; it was uncertain.
However, he had no choice. Using Jiu Han to restrain Moon Fiend was a risky move to begin with.
Although things seemed to have gone smoothly, there were still some risks to be borne, and Jiu Han represented the most significant risk in this matter!
Lu Ming did not know what kind of person Jiu Han was. The outside world’s reputation of Jiu Han was very good, but reputations were to be taken with a grain of salt, and rumors were not to be trusted without deeper investigation.
At present, it seemed that Jiu Han’s character was probably decent, at the very least, he was not as morally corrupt as Moon Fiend.
The other major risk was centered around the system.
If Jiu Han were to detect the system on Lu Ming, the situation would be entirely out of Lu Ming s control.
Lu Ming extended his hand before Jiu Han and saw Jiu Han pinch his hand.
Jiu Han continuously rubbed Lu Ming’s flesh and bone, and a faint energy radiated from Jiu Han’s hand, flowing into Lu Ming’s body.
The energy circulated within Lu Ming’s body and then quickly flowed out.
At this moment, Lu Ming’s expression was calm, but Jiu Han wore a pensive look.
After a long time, Jiu Han frowned and said,
“Now, cultivate the Body Forging technique right in front of me.”
With a wave of his hand, a large number of Flamestones appeared around Lu Ming out of thin air. Seeing this, Lu Ming sat cross-legged and directly entered the Void s.p.a.ce.
Lu Ming could not quite understand what Old Man Jiu Han was thinking.
However, judging by his expression, it seemed that Jiu Han had not discovered the system’s presence. In that case, Lu Ming had nothing to worry about.
Although Jiu Han had not detected the system, it appeared that he had found something significant.
Lu Ming couldn’t think of anything else significant to him apart from the system…
So, he decided not to dwell on it.
Following Jiu Han’s instructions, Lu Ming began to cultivate.
Almost inadvertently, Lu Ming opened the attribute panel.
Soon, Lu Ming discovered something unusual.
“It’s flashing?”
Yes, the attribute panel was flashing!
Just like it did when he was in the Flame Clan Ruins back then!
This meant that something was being absorbed by Lu Ming in this place, the Boshi Tower.
“Void Power? No, it’s not only the Void Power! There’s also the Divine Source!”
Or to put it another way… Lu Ming was poaching from Boshi Tower…
This made Lu Ming’s heart skip a beat.
“Jiu Han can’t be investigating this, right?”
“I’ve been careless!”
“How should I handle this?
Lu Ming suddenly felt a bit helpless.
In front of a Divine Spirit Realm expert, he was poaching the other party’s divine artifact…
What was the difference between this and stealing in person?
Just as Lu Ming was feeling uneasy, Jiu Han’s voice suddenly resounded in Lu Ming’s mind.
“Come out.”
Lu Ming obediently ended his cultivation and left the Void s.p.a.ce.
As soon as he left the Void s.p.a.ce, Lu Ming immediately stood up. He lowered his head and placed his hands tightly on his thighs, and a.s.sumed the appearance of a well-behaved student.
He observed Jiu Han from the corner of his eye.
It was obvious that Jiu Han did not have any negative emotions on his face…
instead, he was somewhat surprised and happy.
Surprise was only natural, even if Lu Ming was not sure about the situations of others, he knew that being able to absorb the Divine Source was quite a remarkable and perhaps even a ‘buggy’ thing.
However, Lu Ming could not quite understand where this joy came from.
Before Lu Ming could ponder further) Jiu Ilan once again extended his hand and touched Lu Ming’s body.
This time, Jiu Han’s touch was more meticulous and more serious. Faint golden light emanated from Jiu Han’s fingertips and circulated throughout Lu Ming’s body.
This process lasted for more than ten minutes.
Jiu Han finally withdrew his hand, his gaze on Lu Ming filled with complexity and antic.i.p.ation.
“You are doing very well… exceptionally well!”
Lu Ming cautiously asked, “Teacher, what do you mean?”
“You are doing very well… exceptionally well!”
Lu Ming really could not figure out what Jiu Han meant.
Lu Ming s voice seemed to snap Jiu Han out of his thoughts. After thinking for a moment, Jiu Han asked, “Do you know what Divine Source is?”
Lu Ming pretended to be confused and shook his head, “I don’t know…”
Jiu Han asked again, “Then do you know that your body can absorb other beneficial foreign energies?”
Lu Ming nodded and said, “I know that. It happened before when I was at the Flame Clan Ruins…”
Lu Ming roughly explained the events of the Flame Clan Ruins.
Then, he added, “I advanced my Void Realm there, but I don’t know why I can do such a thing.”
“It’s probably due to some unique physique or undeveloped ability,” he concluded.
Lu Ming s explanation seemed to make sense to Jiu Han, and he thought for a moment and nodded.
“That’s probably it.”
Then, he changed the subject. “However, none of this is important.”
“What’s important is that no one can absorb or even adapt to Divine Source before becoming a Divine Spirit…”
“Except for you!”
