Chapter 857: Lin Ziyi’s astonishment
Lu Shanshan and Lu Guoguo had only been here for a few years, but they were already famous within the Holy Nun Gate.
When they had first arrived, there were still people who didn’t care very much about these two sisters.
Over the last several years, however, they both convinced everyone with their own efforts and talents.
Otherwise, how could the disciples of the Holy Nun Gate, one of the Four Great Holy Lands, be so easily convinced?
Even so, they felt that Lu Xuan’s requirements were simply too extraordinary.
Even if it was a sect at the level of a cultivation Holy Land, having just one such disciple was enough to make someone jump for joy.
This meant that the next generation would not have to worry about creating a power vacuum and then being used by others.
For any sect, cultivating qualified successors was the most important goal. There was no doubt about how much effort could be saved if there were geniuses in charge.
Lu Xuan said, “Look, I’m mainly here to find your master. Is your master around?”
Upon just remembering some important matters, Lu Shanshan quickly said, “Master already knows about your visit, and has been waiting in the hall!”
Under the guidance of Lu Shanshan and Lu Guoguo, Lu Xuan climbed up the steps and headed towards the hall at the top of the mountain.
On the way, Lu Shanshan and Lu Guoguo constantly talked to Lu Xuan about what they had experienced during this time.
Along the way, many of the Holy Nun Gate disciples who knew the two were shocked. Who on Earth was this man, who could turn these two usually aloof goddesses so passionate?
Lu Xuan listened with a smile while observing the surrounding situation. It was similar to what he had remembered from his previous life.
The population of the Holy Nun Gate was undoubtedly much smaller than the other Holy Lands, roughly the same as that of a small sect in the Tempest Ocean Realm.
The only difference was that this small sect had Lin Ziyi, a Consolidation Realm cultivator.
It was precisely because of the protection of Lin Ziyi, a peerless powerhouse, that this little sect called the Holy Nun Gate had become different.
Soon, the three of them had arrived in the visitor hall on the top of the mountain.
In the main hall, a woman in a purple dress who appeared to be about twenty years old looked at Lu Xuan with a measuring gaze.
This woman had a nice face, exquisite features, and looked like a goddess. Her eyes, however, carried within it a kind of laziness, as is her nature.
Lu Xuan cupped his hand and said, “This little one, Lu Xuan, greets sectmaster Lin!”
“So you’re Lu Xuan?” Lin Ziyi looked at Lu Xuan with a curious look in her eyes. She had heard from the two apprentices of the wonderous elder brother countless times and had learned about some of Lu Xuan’s doings.
Lin Ziyi couldn’t help but wonder how an aboriginal world like Earth had someone like Lu Xuan.
She had originally only thought that it was because a world like Earth was like a mountain with no tigers, thus allowing monkeys to be kings.
Upon seeing Lu Xuan, however, she found that that wasn’t the case at all!
It was clear that she had seen through Lu Xuan’s cultivation base. It was just Three Flowers at One’s Prominence; the realm of cultivation couldn’t have been any clearer, but it surprisingly gave her an inconceivable and unfathomable impression.
This feeling instantly caused the originally lazy Lin Ziyi to sit up straight.
“That’s correct, I am the elder brother of Lu Shanshan and Lu Guoguo. Sectmaster Lin, thank you for taking care of these two girls and even protecting Earth while I was gone. I wouldn’t dare to imagine what would’ve happened otherwise!”
Lu Xuan nodded and took a respectful stance. Lin Ziyi had taken care of both his younger sisters and the entire planet. Coupled with the camaraderie formed between them after fighting together in his previous life, she deserved special treatment from Lu Xuan.
Lin Ziyi did not know that Lu Xuan had given her special treatment, but looking at Lu Xuan’s polite appearance, it was not as rebellious as what many people had described at the time.
Lin Ziyi waved her hand and said, “It was nothing! On the contrary, your two sisters are so talented that they are even above me. In the future, they will definitely be able to inherit the mantle of my Holy Nun Gate. It’s a pity that Yun Ling’er was snatched as your disciple; I would have taken all three of them if that weren’t the case!”
A few traces of disappointment on her face could be seen on her face as she spoke.
She was very optimistic about Yun Ling’er as well; she was as talented as the two Lu sisters, but it was a pity that she already had a cultivation legacy.
She was not so desperate as to force Yun Ling’er to betray her master and school before coming under her.
Furthermore, being able to obtain Lu Shanshan and Lu Guoguo in a single go had already been significant for her.
Lu Xuan said, “Sectmaster Lin, you flatter me. I am already very grateful that you don’t dislike my younger sisters!”
Lin Ziyi sat upright, leaned over to look at Lu Xuan, and said, “I was a bit surprised at first. Shanshan and Guoguo grew up in an environment like Earth, so I assumed that they may have obtained various miraculous encounters. In terms of cultivation legacies, it should be far worse than in the Tempest Ocean Realm. That’s why I was surprised to see that they both have a very solid foundation, and the path of cultivation has not even the slightest mistake!”
“Now that I have seen you, I finally understand that you’ve learned from an exceptional teacher. Perhaps you have a very high realm, but your skill is not enough. Maybe you have a complete cultivation system!”
Lin Ziyi’s eyes were piercing, staring at Lu Xuan as if trying to deduce something from his expression.
She had felt that something seemed off ever since taking in Lu Shanshan and Lu Guoguo. Unlike her other disciples, Lu Shanshan and Lu Guoguo had never needed her to worry about them or correct the direction of their cultivation.
After her inspection, she had discovered that the two’s cultivation roots were so stable that ordinary people could hardly imagine them, and the skill manuals they cultivated were completely suitable for them.
It could’ve been said that they had walked on the best possible path from the beginning. It was as if someone had paved a golden highway for them, with every step planned perfectly.
Even though she was their master, she couldn’t intervene.
She was not so insane as to force them to practice other skill manuals to prove her dignity as a teacher; that would’ve done more harm than good.
She didn’t know much about the skill manuals that the two of them were cultivating, but the slight tidbits of information she knew were enough to shock her. It was clearly a skill manual that pointed directly to the Original Supreme Energy. Lu Shanshan and Lu Guoguo were obviously only cultivating a small portion of it.
Just this small portion was enough to make them stand out from their peers.
It was such amazing workmanship that even the Sacred Sons and Daughters from Holy Lands could not have such solid cultivation foundations.
It turned out to have appeared in a lower world like Earth, which always left her with a lingering doubt.
However, all her questions were answered upon seeing Lu Xuan.
