Chapter 216: Bodhi Golden Cicada, Core Formation Accepting Disciples!_3
Emulating Lu Miaoge, he clasped his hands and bowed to the red-dressed woman.
"No need for such courtesy, I just sensed a whiff of destiny and came to have a look,"
she waved her hand and spoke.
She examined the golden cicada in Lu Qingshan's hand with her divine sense.
"So it is just a Bodhi Golden Cicada that failed to shed its skin,"
"Indeed, had it been a living Bodhi Golden Cicada, how could it possibly have been picked up by such a small child?"
"Nonetheless, the shed skin of a Bodhi Golden Cicada has the effect of aiding others in their cultivation and comprehension and can also be used as the main ingredient in refining the Bodhi Comprehension Elixirs, which just happens to be useful to me..."
Yan Yuan glanced at the golden cicada in Lu Qingshan's hand.
She pondered how she could acquire this Bodhi Golden Cicada for herself.
In the cultivation world, the higher the cultivation level, the more one values karma and temperament.
If she were to take the Bodhi Golden Cicada without any exchange, it would be tantamount to creating a karmic tie.
Even though the most powerful person present, Lu Miaoge, only had a peak Qi Refinement cultivation and was completely disregarded by her,
she, a dignified Nascent Soul Immortal, would not stoop to taking a chance from a child.
"It seems that this senior has come for the golden cicada in my hand,"
Lu Qingshan, although only ten years old, was lively and clever.
Especially since he always liked to read storybooks and imagine himself in them,
seeing the arrival of this senior figure, looking at the golden cicada in his hand and mentioning a fateful treasure,
he knew that the other party was attracted to the golden cicada.
Thinking of the stories in the storybooks where, upon encountering a senior figure after finding a treasure, offering it up proactively could also lead to benefits,
he wondered if perhaps he could even become the apprentice of a senior figure.
Although the other party seemed somewhat languid and casual, not like the legendary seniors,
the fact that she descended directly from the sky and his aunt had greeted her with such respect clearly indicated she was indeed a senior figure.
Thereupon, Lu Qingshan spoke, "Senior, I've just obtained this treasure and am willing to offer it to you."
"Hehe, what a clever little fellow,"
Yan Yuan smiled, looking at Lu Qingshan acting correctly.
Find adventures on empire
She thought about how to compensate Lu Qingshan and end any karmic tie.
But the next moment, when she saw Lu Qingshan, she frowned slightly and a look of surprise and doubt appeared in her eyes.
She then stepped forward and touched the top of Lu Qingshan's head.
"Indeed, it is a Gengjin Body Constitution,"
"No wonder you were able to activate the aura of the Bodhi Golden Cicada; it turns out it was because of the Gengjin Body Constitution,"
"My master passed down the Gengjin Sword Art to me; this young man has the Gengjin Body Constitution, and his temperament and destiny are not bad, making him a suitable successor,"
Yan Yuan looked at the boy before her, pondering to herself, subconsciously reaching for the wine gourd on her waist.
But hesitating for a moment, she immediately straightened her mature and fiery figure, the casualness fading from her face as she stood with her hands behind her back and spoke seriously,
"This cicada is called Bodhi Golden Cicada, and I happen to need it as an ingredient for refining a batch of Elixir Medicines,"
"However, I would not take your chance for nothing, given your exceptional talent, I am willing to take you as my disciple, would you accept?"
Yan Yuan looked at Lu Qingshan before her and spoke.
As she spoke, her bright red garments rustled, revealing her entire Nascent Soul aura.
Suddenly she appeared majestic and transcendent, with quite the demeanor of a superior figure.
"Take me as an apprentice?"
Lu Qingshan blinked, not expecting her to actually want to take him as an apprentice.
Although he often imagined such scenarios when reading storybooks,
when actually faced with the situation, he was still surprised and conflicted.
Moreover, he hadn't even discerned her abilities; how could he rashly accept her as his master?
"Exceptional talent, taken as a disciple?"
Hearing this, Lu Miaoge, who was holding Lu Wangshu, looked surprised and doubtful.
I never expected this Core Formation predecessor to actually want to accept Lu Qingshan as a disciple.
But Lu Qingshan only has a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root.
This has nothing to do with exceptional talent, does it?
If this predecessor is only interested in Lu Qingshan's opportunity and thus takes him as a disciple, I'm afraid...
"I am Tian Yuan True Immortal of Jinyang Sect from Yue Country."
"You, junior, have a Gengjin Body Constitution, which perfectly matches the legacy of my sect."
Yan Yuan realized that Lu Qingshan and Lu Miaoge were confused and remembered that he had not introduced himself yet, so he took out the Jinyang Sect token and said with an authoritative voice.
"Jinyang Sect from Yue Country?"
"Gengjin Body Constitution!?"
Lu Miaoge was surprised again when she heard the other party's words and introduction.
I never thought that he wasn't a cultivator from Jiang Country.
But a Nascent Soul Immortal from Jinyang Sect in Yue Country.
She had heard of Jinyang Sect.
One of the five major Immortal Sects in Yue Country.
Its status was similar to Qingyun Sect and Luoxia Sect of Jiang Country.
However, what surprised her the most was that Lu Qingshan was of the Gengjin Body Constitution.
When Lu Qingshan was examined for his Spiritual Root at the age of six, he only showed a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root.
He hadn't yet started cultivation, and his Spiritual Body had not been revealed.
Nobody in the family knew that Lu Qingshan possessed a Spiritual Body.
Only when she heard this Tian Yuan True Immortal did she realize that her sister's son actually had a Gengjin Body Constitution!
Although a Gengjin Body Constitution is just one of the common Five Elements Spiritual Bodies.
But a Spiritual Body is a Spiritual Body nonetheless!
As long as Lu Qingshan does not die prematurely, it's highly likely he'll achieve Foundation Establishment!
If he could become a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal, there might be hope for Core Formation!
"Qingshan, don't you hurry to thank the senior."
Lu Miaoge quickly said to Lu Qingshan.
Knowing that the Nascent Soul Immortal was interested not only because of the chance object,
but also because of Lu Qingshan's Gengjin Body Constitution, so he was willing to accept a disciple, she was relieved.
After all, being accepted as a disciple by a Nascent Soul Immortal is an enormous opportunity and a great fortune.
Although the journey to Jinyang Sect of Yue Country is long,
it's obviously worth it compared to the chance of being a disciple under a Nascent Soul Immortal.
"Jinyang Sect, Tian Yuan True Immortal?"
Lu Qingshan wasn't familiar with Jinyang Sect, only knowing about Qingyun Sect.
But from what he heard and seeing the look on his aunt's face, he figured Jinyang Sect must be similar to Qingyun Sect.
Moreover, the other party claimed to be a True Immortal, which meant a true Nascent Soul Immortal.
This was a truly exalted senior!
For such a senior to take him as a disciple, he was naturally very willing.
Seeing Lu Miaoge urging and the envious looks from others, Lu Qingshan clenched his teeth.
He spoke up, "Senior, this golden cicada was found by me and my sister together."
"My sister also deserves half, could you also take my sister as your disciple?"
Lu Qingshan held his sister's hand, looked up at Yan Yuan before him, and pursed his lips as he spoke.
Although their personalities were vastly different—one lively, the other quiet—their relationship was extremely good.
Lu Qingshan knew that his sister had a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root.
Her talent could be considered average, even poor.
If she could be taken as a disciple by a Nascent Soul Immortal, her future cultivation path would be much easier.
