298: Teaching Mu Ruxue

Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "You're quite quick-witted, kid. Alright, you can go back and rest. I still have a lot of things to deal with."

"The danger of being annexed was resolved because of the Thunder Prison Sect, but there are still many people vying for our territory and poaching our Disciples!"

Lu Xingchen softly said, "In that case, I won't bother you!"

With that, he stood up and left the reception hall.

Walking out of the reception hall, Lu Xingchen was deep in thought.

Could "Rising Sun" among the eight prodigies be the "Xu" from "Lin Xu"?

When he left Lingxiao Sect, Senior Brother Lin Xu once told Lu Xingchen that he was going to explore the Central Plains.

He just didn't know how he was faring.

If it really was Senior Brother Lin Xu, he could rely on him.

Immediately, Lu Xingchen shook his head.

Forget it, no need to think so much!

The probability was too slim; it was better to Cultivate diligently.

Lu Xingchen rested for a day in his Immortal Cave, then continued to Cultivate on Sect Master Peak.

It was the usual routine: Cultivate for a day in the Soul Nurturing Tower, then go AFK for a day in the Eighth-Grade Spirit Gathering Array.

After the battle with Li Cheng, Lu Xingchen's fear of insufficient strength resurfaced.

He had exhausted all his means, even bringing out the immortal slaying sword, yet with Yun Li's help, he had only managed to block one of Li Cheng's ultimate moves.

If the battle continued, he would undoubtedly lose.

Therefore, the strength of a Martial Ancestor was still too weak, insufficient to protect those around him.

To be invincible in the world, he still needed to Cultivate diligently!

Just like that, Lu Xingchen Cultivated in the Soul Nurturing Tower for half a month.

On this day, as he walked to the entrance of the Eighth-Grade Spirit Gathering Array, he saw Mu Ruxue waiting there.

Lu Xingchen waved at her, smiling lightly, "Xiao Xue, is there something you need me for?"

Mu Ruxue bowed to Lu Xingchen, softly saying, "Teacher, I'm here to tell you good news. My Soul Realm has Broken through to Initial Spirit Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen was greatly surprised.

"Holy cow, that fast? It hasn't even been a month since I gave you the Spirit Burning Art!"

Mu Ruxue softly said, "With the help of Teacher's Earth-Rank Martial Skill and the nourishment of the Soul Nurturing Tower, my progress has been so fast. I truly feel fortunate to have become your Disciple; you've shown me hope for revenge."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Not bad, not bad. It seems I've found a treasure! Keep up the good work in your Cultivation. Once your Soul Realm advances to Spirit Realm Middle Stage, I'll give you more Advanced Martial Skills. When you reach Late Spirit Realm, you can go back and seek revenge."

Although she knew Lu Xingchen was painting a grand picture for her, Mu Ruxue still felt a bit pleased.

To receive praise from her Teacher was truly a joyous occasion!

Mu Ruxue continued, "There's one more thing. Teacher, I've talked with Senior Brother Li Yuechang, and he suggested I try Dual Cultivation of spirit and martial arts. He also had me test various weapons. In the end, we found that I am most proficient with the bow and arrow."

"But Senior Brother Li doesn't understand Archery Skill, and other Senior Brothers on Lingyuan Peak rarely have Major Achievement in Archery Skill. So, I would like to ask Teacher to help me find an Archery Great Master to teach me."

"I know this might be difficult for Teacher. If Teacher can't find one, I'll just teach myself."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen raised an eyebrow.

This Li Yuechang is quite proactive!

He's taken care of things that Lu Xingchen hadn't had time to do.

He was indeed quite attentive to Mu Ruxue; it wasn't in vain that Lu Xingchen had given him so many things.

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Not difficult at all. I am an Archery Great Master; from now on, I will personally teach you!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ruxue was so excited she almost jumped.

"Wow! I didn't expect Teacher to also have expertise in Archery Skill. This is truly wonderful."

Lu Xingchen put on a serious face and sternly said, "However, my requirements for Disciples are very strict. If you can't keep up with my pace, I will smack your palm."

Mu Ruxue softly said, "I will do my best and not cause Teacher any trouble!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, chuckling, "In that case, come to my Immortal Cave every day from seven to twelve in the morning, and I'll give you special lessons."

Mu Ruxue nodded emphatically, softly saying, "Thank you, Teacher!"

Although teaching Mu Ruxue would indeed take up Cultivation time, there was no other way.

Since he had taken her in, he had to be responsible for her.

Moreover, the time spent teaching Mu Ruxue wasn't much.

A day has 24 hours, and he was only dedicating five hours.

Furthermore, in the process of teaching her, his understanding of Archery Skill would also improve.

And so, Lu Xingchen Cultivated while teaching Mu Ruxue.

Mu Ruxue had never touched a bow and arrow before, but her first shot could accurately hit a target within a hundred meters, which indeed showed extraordinary talent.

This was also the reason Li Yuechang recommended her to Cultivate Archery Skill.

The Advanced Archery Skill that Yun Li taught Lu Xingchen was not yet suitable for Mu Ruxue to learn; the priority was to build a solid foundation.

The things Lu Xingchen taught Mu Ruxue were the same set of training his father had put him through.

Another half month passed.

By going AFK in the Eighth-Grade Spirit Gathering Array, Lu Xingchen's Realm had Advanced to Eight-Star Martial Ancestor, and his Soul Power had also made great progress, feeling very close to Spirit Realm Great Perfection.

On this day, he was teaching Mu Ruxue in his Immortal Cave when a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Lu Xingchen gestured for Mu Ruxue to continue practicing Archery Skill, while he opened the Immortal Cave door and saw the charming Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was still wearing a fiery red long dress, but the decorations on the dress were different from before.

Lu Xingchen guessed that she probably had many red dresses and favored this series.

Xu Qing had two ponytails, a well-endowed figure, and a voluptuous chest, looking quite pleasing to the eye.

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Third Senior Sister, what brings you here?"

Xu Qing softly said, "Little Junior Brother, didn't you say you would contribute to the development of Lingyun Sect? Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned.

"More trouble?"

Xu Qing softly said, "Come with me! First Senior Sister is waiting for us in the deliberation hall; we can talk slowly there."

"Alright!"

Lu Xingchen greeted Mu Ruxue, then flew with Xu Qing towards Sect Master Peak.

Stepping into the deliberation hall, quite a few people had already arrived.

Besides his three Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, there were also five Elders and the Saintess of Spirit Medicine Peak, Xiong Chumo.

Those five Elders were all from Spirit Medicine Peak.

Seeing this, Lu Xingchen immediately understood that this incident must be related to Medicinal Pills, and most likely to the sale of the poji pill.

After all, Medicinal Pills that could improve Cultivation Aptitude were incredibly precious anywhere, and it was impossible for no one to covet them.

Lu Xingchen greeted Liu Ruyan, chuckling, "First Senior Sister, what happened?"
