Chapter 20: Master, Aren't You a Sword Cultivator?

"Congratulations, host, on completing the task of accepting disciples."

"Rewards obtained: Principles of Spear Dao, Principles of Fire, Reincarnation Spear Technique, Recipe for Nine Revolving Elemental Pill, 2000 years of cultivation."

Well, well.

Originally, Lu Changsheng thought it would take a long time to conquer this empress.

He hadn't even started thinking about it.

And he had already conquered himself...

Meanwhile, when Ye Qiubai returned to the Hidden Dao Academy.

Nowadays, he had quite a reputation throughout the academy.

The battle in the academy competition had made everyone acquainted with Ye Qiubai.

From the Grass Hut.

"Senior Brother Ye."

"Huh, it seems like Senior Brother Ye's strength is even more unfathomable now. Did he improve again?"

"Sigh, Senior Brother Ye is truly extraordinary."

Ye Qiubai replied to each one with a smile and a nod.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but think.

Ah, when will Master be able to take on a disciple or two...

"Oh, Senior Brother Ye, I saw Senior Lu taking a woman who looked like a fairy to the Dean's place."

At these words, Ye Qiubai was stunned and instinctively asked, "What for?"

"It seems to be Senior Lu's new disciple, right?"

???

Hearing this, Ye Qiubai disappeared in an instant.

Back at the Grass Hut, he saw a woman who seemed to have stepped out of a painting, carrying plates of food and placing them in front of Lu Changsheng.

So, he finally got a junior sister?

As he approached to greet his Master, he heard Lu Changsheng's indifferent voice.

"Back already?"

"..."

Ye Qiubai was dumbfounded. Was he being rejected?

Should I leave?

Seeing Ye Qiubai's strange expression, Lu Changsheng explained, "What I meant was, your task was completed so quickly?"

Ye Qiubai stepped forward, bowed, and then recounted everything.

"The Sunset Dynasty... I've heard Qin Shu mention it a few times."

Qin Shu was Qin Tiannan.

"That power seems to be stronger than our Southern Hidden Dao Academy."

Ye Qiubai nodded, saying, "I know."

Lu Changsheng looked at Ye Qiubai's somewhat serious expression and said softly, "As I've said before, I won't help you with this kind of thing. After all, it's your own grudge."

Moreover, if you start with the young, where does it end? I can't afford to lose face."

Ye Qiubai didn't mind. Instead, he smiled and said, "Of course, I won't let Master intervene. The Sunset Dynasty is ultimately my whetstone."

"It's good that you can think like that."

Suddenly, Hongying beside them nodded as well. "Exactly, having this kind of mindset is important. Relying on external help every time will also affect your future cultivation."

At this moment, Hongying was scrutinizing Ye Qiubai.

As the former Empress of a past life, she naturally had a way of observing and understanding people.

To reach the level of a Sword Master at such a young age, with extraordinary cultivation techniques.

His physique, Hongying couldn't see through it.

His aptitude was also not inferior to her own...

Lu Changsheng smiled and introduced Ye Qiubai to Hongying, "This is your junior sister, Hongying."

Ye Qiubai smiled at Hongying and said, "Junior Sister is right. If there's anything in the future, just come to Senior Brother for help."

But Hongying's expression was strange as she nodded and said, "Then, thank you, Senior Brother."

Lu Changsheng took a bite of the food and said after a while, "Your junior sister is now at the Water Overflowing Realm, so who helps whom is not certain."

Ye Qiubai was shocked.

Water Overflowing Realm, wasn't that several major realms higher than himself?

Thinking of this, Ye Qiubai hurriedly said, "Master, I have gained some insights on my journey and will go into seclusion first."

After saying that, he returned to his room.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but smile.

This is a blow.

Immediately after, Hongying also prepared to go into cultivation.

Lu Changsheng stopped her and said, "Don't be in a hurry. When Qiubai entered the sect, I gave him a Creation Pill, granting him a chance at creation, and a Qingyun Sword, sending him straight to the Qingyun. Since I've accepted you as a disciple now, I can't treat you differently."

But Hongying smiled indifferently and said, "I don't need it."

She had plenty of cultivation resources after all, carrying the heritage of an empire on her shoulders. Instead, she thought about whether she should give something good to her Master. After all, Lu Changsheng didn't seem to have much on him.

Thinking of this, she was about to take out some pills, but she saw one flying towards her.

Hongying subconsciously caught it.

The pill had ancient and mysterious reincarnation patterns on it.

"What kind of pill is this?"

Lu Changsheng said lightly, "Haven't you already reached the ninth life of your Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Technique? This pill can allow you to perfectly integrate the innate cultivation of your previous nine lives."

Hearing this, Hongying's face changed drastically.

Firstly, she didn't mention why Lu Changsheng knew about her Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Technique.

Secondly, now that she was in her ninth life, she indeed needed a Reincarnation Pill to fuse the innate cultivation of her previous nine lives.

However, the Reincarnation Pill was extremely precious and rare. After all, it was a legendary pill, and finding one was uncertain.

Moreover, even if it was a Reincarnation Pill, it could only integrate sixty percent of her previous lives' cultivation.

But the pill Lu Changsheng gave her could perfectly integrate it. How could this not be shocking?

Then, Lu Changsheng said, "Hmm, just giving you a pill would be too shabby. Come here."

Shabby?

Hongying foolishly approached subconsciously.

Lu Changsheng pointed to the center of her eyebrows.

Instantly, waves of information flooded Hongying's mind like a torrent.

Reincarnation Spear Technique.

Merge martial arts with spear, merge with reincarnation...

Hongying looked at the information in astonishment.

Not to mention the terrifying power of the Reincarnation Spear Technique, it was extremely compatible with her Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Technique!

She had always followed the path of reincarnation, and now, this Reincarnation Spear Technique could greatly elevate her strength.

Lu Changsheng withdrew his finger and touched his chin.

"Well... at this rate, your comprehension might be too slow. Let me demonstrate it to you again. Watch closely."

With that, he waved his hand, and a spear made of spiritual energy appeared in his hand.

Hongying widened her eyes.

Master, aren't you a sword cultivator?

Why are you holding a spear now?

Could it be...

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng shook the spear in his hand.

The spear thrust forward violently!

Like a dragon, carrying the meaning of reincarnation, it pierced straight through a distant mountain peak!

At this moment, a huge hole was pierced through the mountain peak!

Hongying dumbfoundedly watched Lu Changsheng demonstrate the Reincarnation Spear Technique.

During the demonstration, he reached the peak of spear intent.

And there was something beyond spear intent, unlike any worldly force!

That was the Dao of the Spear!

Hongying gasped in cold air.

She had thought Lu Changsheng was a sword cultivator, but the Spear Dao he displayed was in no way inferior!

It was many times stronger than what she had expected!

No wonder he could produce such a supreme martial art as the Reincarnation Spear Technique...

After a while, Lu Changsheng put away the long spear and casually said to Hongying, "Alright, you can practice on your own now. I'm going to take a nap."

Hongying: "..."
