370 The Reason for Becoming Strong (1/2)

His Master's words sent a chill down Wang Lu's spine.

Did his Master steal something important from him while he was sleeping?

… Well, the truth, of course, would not be that serious. As a cultivator of Non-Phase Method, Wang Lu's ability to control his physical body was extremely high. Even a single hair loss could be detected, not to mention a key artifact.

”I removed it from inside you and it came out as egg-shaped, so of course, it's your egg.” His Master indifferently blurted out this crazy nonsense, and then said, ”I have studied it for some time, but I got nothing. Didn't you self-proclaim yourself as spirit sword's best student? Then why don't you uncover its secret?”

With that, Wang Wu threw that grey orb towards Wang Lu. ”Keep it well. This is a really rare thing in the whole continent.”

”This is…” Wang Lu clasped the orb, only to feel that it was like a cool and smooth tentacle. He then swept it with his primordial spirit, but all he could sense was void. Nevertheless, by using the clue that it came from his body, it was not hard to guess its content. ”Faceless One?”

”Yes, it's that devil. After I took it out of you, I tried to cook it to turn it into ingredients for making an elixir. However, as a result, perhaps because a certain aspect of nature in Western Continent is different than that of Nine Regions, it didn't end up as an elixir, and instead refined into a grey egg. I thought that, in any case, this egg might be useful for a boy like you, so I kept it for you.”

Upon hearing her explanation, he suddenly felt pain in his balls. ”Three Eyes Supreme1 has a brilliant fame in fighting prowess, but Three Eggs Supreme is absolutely a pervert!” Nevertheless, he still received that grey orb. Although as a person, Wang Wu was a pain in the ass, but in the matter of training her disciple, she was usually reasonable. Thus, since she wanted him to take it, then there must be a reasonable reason behind it.

”Alright, since the hidden danger inside my body has been solved, there shouldn't be any more matter here, right?” While saying that, Wang Lu's mind has already flown towards the group of immortal tombs in the Southern Heaven Region.

”What's the hurry? I want you to have your Golden Core first.”

Golden Core? Upon hearing this, Wang Lu was quite shocked. He hurriedly fished out a jar of honey from his mustard seed bag, smeared it on the grey orb until it looked golden colored, and then said, ”This is my golden core, please check it.”

”Stop.” This time, Wang Wu unceremoniously held her disciple in place. ”It's useless for you to go now, the rice has already been cooked. Three days ago, the first and second batch of people that entered the immortal tomb has finally returned. If you go now, you won't even get the chance to be in the third batch.”

”Wait a minute, the first and second batch? How long have I been asleep?”

Wang Wu replied, ”Not three years, but not two hours either. It's one month and three days, enough for you to miss the opportunities to be in the limelight.”

Wang Lu was even more shocked. ”I actually slept for more than a month! Tsk, I wonder how serious the parasitic effect of Non-Phase in me that it turned out to be like this.”

Wang Wu beckoned her hand. ”It was actually not that serious. If it was, it would've been too late for me to save you. As a matter of fact, you could wake up on the third day, but I gave you some medicine that let you sleep for more than a month.”

”...” Wang Lu has nothing to say. His Master's action style was really hard to fathom.

”If I didn't stop you, you would've gone to the group of Immortal Tombs, and if there's no accident, you'd definitely have continued to strive and gain victory after victory. After that, you would be pleased with yourself, and then move on to find another trouble. It is not that I want to deliberately hold you back, but as your Master, I have to remind you that as much fun as it is to play, you must not forget what your real duty is.”

Wang Lu's complexion was unprecedentedly solemn. He wasn't able to take things less seriously. ”Do you think I have a problem?”

”Big problem.” Wang Wu said, ”Use your brain to think about it. This time, you went to Western Continent to struggle, risking your life for less than half a year, but what have you gotten in return? Have your strength dramatically increased? Your magical treasure significantly upgraded? Method comprehensively strengthened? In my opinion, in addition to Aya now seeing you in a new light, in fact, you didn't get anything. Yes, you obtained the key to the group of immortal tombs, which made the entire Nine Regions people raise their eyebrows and suck in a mouthful of cold air. However, right now, when people talk about you and talk about Qiong Hua, most of them obviously think that the latter is stronger. Because she is Jindan and you're not, and in Immortal cultivation World, power is number one.”

Wang Lu sighed. ”I know, you don't need to nag me about it. The realm of Jindan is a watershed, and all the illustrious achievements and feats before that are merely false reputation, right?”

What Wang Lu said was the rules of the Nine Regions Immortal Cultivation World. Jindan and prior Jindan were two very different concepts.

Any Daoist Master of Jindan Stage was a valuable asset in the Nine Regions Immortal Cultivation World.

Starting from gathering qi, all the way to Qi Cultivating Stage, Foundation Establishment, and Xudan Stage, breaking through numerous tests and boundaries, until finally reaching Jindan Stage, this was an extremely remarkable achievement. In the whole Immortal Cultivation World, from the more than ten thousand cultivators who started the Qi Cultivating Stage, not more than ten of them could finally achieve Jindan Stage. As far as the common people were concerned, a Daoist Master of Jindan Stage was already at the apex of the world.
