130: One more junior brother

The next day, Zhou Luo carried Zhou Changan into his room.

The little fellow was only a little over two months old now, his large, curious eyes watching him, neither crying nor fussing.

Zhou Luo took out the Innate Qi he had drawn last night and used it.

A pure and profound power entered little Chang'an's body, emitting a burst of white light.

As the white light flickered, Zhou Luo could clearly feel an inexplicable aura appearing out of thin air within his body. This aura quietly lay dormant in his Qi Sea and Dan Tian. If one didn't investigate carefully, it would be impossible to detect.

Currently, this wisp of Innate Qi had no effect on little Chang'an.

He would only be able to sense and utilize this power when he officially began Cultivation.

Just like Zhou Changan, he could use this wisp of Innate Qi to enhance his perception of spiritual energy, and so on.

After doing this, he carried the child back to the room and placed him by Bai Zhiyan's bed.

"Husband, what did you take our child to do?" Bai Zhiyan asked curiously.

"Nothing much, just gave him a good thing," Zhou Luo said with a smile.

Leaving the room, he planned to continue his Cultivation in the Spirit Vein Blessed Land during the upcoming period.

Anyway, his four wives were all pregnant, and there were still ten months until the agreed-upon time to go out. He had to quickly advance to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer to have the ability to protect himself.

However, just as he left the door, he received a summons from his Master.

Shouchun Hall.

Lin Zhishou sat at the head of the main hall with a smile on his face. Dressed in a white Pill Refining robe, he had been in an extremely good mood these past few days.

Because he had taken in another Disciple with excellent talent.

Thinking of this Disciple's performance at the Spirit Pill Gathering and his eldest Disciple's powerful talent, Lin Zhishou seemed to see the scene of the Lin Family standing at the head of the Five Great Evergreen Families a hundred years later.

Before long, Zhou Luo walked in from outside the hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a young man sitting to the lower right of Lin Zhishou, looking reserved.

The young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, clear eyes, and wore a light blue Pill Refining robe, lowering his head in a very humble manner.

"Master."

Zhou Luo glanced at him and bowed to Lin Zhishou.

Seeing his beloved Disciple, Lin Zhishou said with a smile, "Qingshu, why aren't you bowing to your Senior Brother?"

Hearing this, the young man quickly stood up, bowed deeply, and cupped his hands with utmost respect: "Senior Brother."

Zhou Luo felt a wave of confusion.

When did Master take another Disciple?

"Disciple, this is the Disciple I've just taken. His name is Song Qingshu. You two can get to know each other well," Lin Zhishou said slowly.

Song Qingshu?

Zhou Luo suddenly felt that this name was somewhat familiar.

Wasn't this a famous character from a certain novel in his previous life?

Hearing this name, he had a sense of déjà vu, as if a novel had entered reality.

Immediately after, through Lin Zhishou's words, he learned that this young man named Song Qingshu was a Loose Cultivator. By chance, he picked up an ancient book on Pill Refining and embarked on the path of Pill Refining.

As a result, he had extraordinary talent and managed to successfully enter the field through self-study. Finally, he was fortunate enough to be discovered by a certain Immortal Sect Elder, who taught him more methods of Pill Refining.

As for why he wasn't taken as a Disciple, it was only because his Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) grade was too low, the lowest grade, the Nine-Rank.

Later, Song Qingshu came to this year's Spirit Pill Gathering with the ancient book left by that Elder and successfully obtained the Opportunity to study in the Immortal Sect.

With such powerful talent, he naturally attracted the competition of the Five Great Evergreen Families.

Ultimately, Song Qingshu chose to join the Lin Family.

And such a potential Pill Refining Genius was naturally taken as a Disciple by Lin Zhishou.

During this time, Zhou Luo had been staying in the manor and really didn't know about this matter.

After understanding the cause and effect, he nodded towards the other party.

"Since you Senior Brothers have met, Qingshu, you can continue with your Pill Refining," Lin Zhishou said, raising his hand.

"Yes, Master," Song Qingshu bowed and excused himself.

After he left, Lin Zhishou turned his gaze back to Zhou Luo.

"Disciple, I called you over today because I want to tell you that in a while, I will be taking Qingshu and other members of the Zhou Family to Azure Origin Sect to study."

After this Spirit Pill Gathering ended, the time to go to the Immortal Sect to study had arrived.

Lin Zhishou, as expected, became the first choice person to go to the Immortal Sect this time.

"Master, be careful on your journey."

Zhou Luo, sitting on the round chair, said with concern.

Lin Zhishou smiled calmly: "What is there to be careful about? Could it be that someone dares to attack my Lin Family?"

"On the contrary, you must be careful recently."

Zhou Luo's expression was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Lin Zhishou said with a serious expression: "Recently, the Shadow of the Joyful Union Sect has appeared again in Maple Leaf City. I'm afraid they are planning to retaliate against my Lin Family."

More than a year ago, the remnants of the Joyful Union Sect caused chaos in Maple Leaf City, resulting in the death of Seventh Elder Lin Guangping. Later, under the leadership of Lin Xuanfeng, they were driven out.

Unexpectedly, just a few days ago, multiple incidents of women disappearing occurred consecutively in the city.

After Lin Xuanfeng's careful investigation, it was discovered that the Shadow of the Joyful Union Sect was behind this.

The Joyful Union Sect, which had been silent for more than a year, reappeared, clearly wanting to avenge the past.

Therefore, important members of the Zhou Family are now prohibited from going out to prevent them from falling victim to the Joyful Union Sect.

Lin Zhishou calling Zhou Luo over was also to warn him not to go out.

"Master, I plan to go into seclusion to break through during this period. You can rest assured," Zhou Luo said truthfully.

As long as the Lin Family doesn't fall, he, being in the Core Area of the Spirit Vein Blessed Land, really won't be affected at all.

"You're going to break through again?" Lin Zhishou was greatly surprised.

He remembered that his Disciple only had a Nine-Rank Ling Gen (Spiritual Root), didn't he?

When he left the Immortal Sect back then, he seemed to only be at the Qi Training stage, fourth level. How long has it been, and he has already broken through?

This speed is comparable to a Cultivator with a mid-grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root).

"Master, not yet. I'm just working hard, aren't I?" Zhou Luo said with a light smile.

Lin Zhishou didn't pay attention to this. He just reminded him: "Cultivation is a good thing, and Pill Refining cannot be delayed. You must not indulge yourself for the sake of beauty."

During this time, he had heard that Zhou Luo's concubine was pregnant again.

Matters between men and women inherently harm Yin and Yang. If this continues for a long time, it is not beneficial to Cultivation.

And Zhou Luo represents the hope of the Lin Family's path of Pill Refining. As his Master, he could only try his best to remind him not to become addicted to it.

Zhou Luo understood his meaning and could only nod in agreement.

"Mm, when I leave, I won't be able to look after you. Take this spiritual Talisman."

Lin Zhishou extended his right hand, a spiritual light flashed, and the next second a yellow spiritual Talisman appeared, suspended in the air.

With a slight push, the spiritual Talisman landed on the table in front of Zhou Luo.

"This Talisman is called the Mystic Earth Rune. When activated, it can condense a layer of Mystic Earth spiritual light. Even a Cultivator at the Qi Training stage, eighth level, cannot shake it," Lin Zhishou explained.

Zhou Luo, being a First-Order Pill Master, knew the function of this spiritual Talisman without needing an explanation.

In fact, he had originally wanted to draw a few of these First-Order top-grade spiritual Talismans to have on hand.

It was just that the Materials required for spiritual Talismans of this grade were extremely expensive and rare, so he hadn't gotten around to it yet.

He hadn't expected his Master to give him a top-grade spiritual Talisman.

"Master, this item is too precious, I..." Zhou Luo wanted to decline.

"No need to say more. Just take it as I told you," Lin Zhishou directly interrupted him.

Zhou Luo had no choice but to accept it, stood up, and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."

This sentence came from the bottom of his heart.

If anyone in the entire Lin Family treated him best, it would be none other than his Master, Lin Zhishou.

From the time he first interacted with the other party through Pill Refining, this Master had always shown him a unique kind of favoritism.

Whether it was overcoming all difficulties to take him as a Disciple, or the strong stance taken after learning he had gone to the Spirit Mine, or now giving him a top-grade spiritual Talisman, etc.

All of this greatly moved Zhou Luo.

"Go, and remember not to forget about Cultivation."

He had finished giving his instructions, Lin Zhishou said, raising his hand.

Zhou Luo bowed again, then left the main hall.
