I can gather experience beads

On this day, Cao Rui was practicing in the cave.

Suddenly, I sensed that someone had touched the restrictions of the cave.

It seemed that an outsider came to see him for something.

Cao Rui walked out of the cave and saw a cultivator standing at the door.

This monk looked ordinary and did not exude any terrifying aura.

But Cao Rui instinctively felt that this cultivator was probably not an ordinary person.

It is even possible that his strength is even stronger than Zhao Chenghai.

"Hello, I am Xuanyuan Changfeng, nice to meet you."

Xuanyuan Changfeng greeted Cao Rui with a friendly face and without any airs.

"Hello, Senior Xuanyuan."

Cao Rui responded equally politely.

"If I remember correctly, I haven't seen you before. May I ask what's the matter with your sudden visit? Please come in and have a chat."

As Cao Rui spoke, he took the initiative to open the restrictions of the cave and invited Xuanyuan Changfeng in.

After Xuanyuan Changfeng came in, Cao Rui closed the entrance and exit of the cave.

"I was there watching the final battle of your God of War Challenge."

Xuanyuan Changfeng said this, looking at Cao Rui with satisfaction.

Cao Rui immediately understood.

"Are you the powerful person who reached the fusion realm at that time?"

Although Cao Rui vaguely felt that the strength of Xuanyuan Changfeng in front of him was even stronger than Zhao Changhai.

But he still didn't expect that a strong man in the fusion realm would take the initiative to come and see him.

A strong man of this level only needs one command.

He had no choice but to go to his house to visit him obediently.

Xuanyuan Changfeng naturally understood this truth.

However, he took the initiative to meet Cao Rui, firstly to show his appreciation, and secondly to avoid attracting attention.

After all, if Cao Rui were allowed to come to his house.

I'm afraid that before Cao Rui can even get comfortable in his seat, several of his friends at the fusion realm will come over to join in the fun.

"I'm not that strong. There are many people in the North Sea Holy Land City who are stronger than me."

It is precisely because of this that Xuanyuan Changfeng acts relatively cautiously.

It is not easy to find a good apprentice these days.

"But Senior is the most powerful person I have ever seen."

Cao Rui complimented.

"Actually, I came to see you today because I want to ask you something. Are you willing to answer?"

"Of course, I will tell you everything I know."

Cao Rui quickly said sincerely.

"First of all, I would like to ask you. How many years have you been practicing?"

Cao Rui made a rough calculation.

"About sixty or seventy years."

"It has only been sixty or seventy years, and you have cultivated to such a level."

Hearing Cao Rui's words, Xuanyuan Changfeng was shocked.

Although there are some peerless geniuses in this spiritual world who have cultivated to the level of spiritual transformation in their thirties or forties.

Cao Rui is not as good as those peerless geniuses, but he can also be considered a genius.

"I wonder which school you learned from? How did you end up being an ordinary squad leader in the army?"

Xuanyuan Changfeng continued to ask curiously.

He came here today to accept Cao Rui as his disciple.

Given the talent Cao Rui has shown today, it is hard to believe that he has no master.

"I have no sect or school, and I have basically relied on my own hard work to cultivate until now."

Cao Rui clasped his fists and said.

"How is that possible? You don't have a master?"

"It's not that I don't have a master at all. I have served in some sects before, but later I left this sect when I became stronger."

"Something is wrong. With your talent for cultivation, I shouldn't have never heard of you. Could it be that you came from some other place?"

When Cao Rui heard this, he was suddenly embarrassed.

This spiritual world is vast and boundless, and there are indeed cities and areas of various sizes.

However, Cao Rui knew nothing about these places.

Even if Cao Rui lied about the name and there really was such a place.

As long as Xuanyuan Changfeng investigates, the truth will be easily revealed.

Moreover, lying in front of a big shot like Xuanyuan Changfeng who is at the fusion realm is not a wise move.

"To be honest, I am not from this world."

Thinking of this, Cao Rui gritted his teeth and said.

"Oh? You are not from this world, then where are you from?"

When Xuanyuan Changfeng heard what Cao Rui said, he became even more curious.

"I ascended to the spirit world from the Azure Sky Realm below."

Cao Rui responded.

"Ascended?"

Xuanyuan Changfeng was shocked when he heard this.

"I didn't expect that there are actually people who can ascend."

"I heard that the last person to ascend was hundreds of years ago."

"That's not surprising, then."

Xuanyuan Changfeng paced back and forth as he spoke, his face full of ecstasy.

He had never been to the underworld, but he had learned some basic information from some ancient books.

Although there are many lower realms, there is basically no vitality of heaven and earth. The energy used by humans for cultivation is a kind of energy called spiritual energy.

However, Cao Rui was able to cultivate to the Divine Transformation Realm in just a few decades in the lower realm where cultivation resources were extremely scarce.

Cao Rui's true talent is probably not even inferior to the peerless geniuses in this world.

No wonder Cao Rui was able to stand out in such a short time after ascending to heaven.

"Good, good, good. Your talent is beyond my imagination."

Xuanyuan Changfeng exclaimed in admiration and then said.

"Actually, I came here today because I wanted to take you in as my apprentice."

"I wonder if you would like to?"

When Cao Rui heard Xuanyuan Changfeng's words, he was a little hesitant.

It is naturally a good thing to be able to rely on the support of a powerful boss in the fusion realm.

However, Cao Rui met Xuanyuan Changfeng for the first time today and didn't know who he was.

In case Xuanyuan Changfeng harbors evil intentions towards Cao Rui, he will have to wait until Cao Rui cultivates to the level of Lianxu or even the level of Fusion before taking action against him.

Cao Rui is only at the Spirit Transformation Stage now, so naturally he is powerless to resist.

"Senior, you are too powerful. I am afraid that accepting me as your disciple would humiliate your reputation."

Cao Rui said modestly.

"Well, if you don't want to be my disciple, I won't force you."

Xuanyuan Changfeng has always been aware of himself.

Although he has cultivated to the fusion realm, with the talent shown by Cao Rui, it is probably only a matter of time before he surpasses him.

If he accepts Cao Rui as his apprentice now, perhaps he can teach Cao Rui a way, but the greater possibility is that he will mislead him.

At least in terms of his own strength, he had no confidence that he could cultivate a divine power to perfection within one or two years.

In short, Cao Rui's talent is indeed very good, but it is a little too good, which makes Xuanyuan Changfeng dare not easily accept this apprentice.

And Cao Rui did not show a strong desire to become his disciple, so Xuanyuan Changfeng did not force him.

But no matter what, now that we know today that Cao Rui ascended from the lower realm and has unlimited potential in the future, Xuanyuan Changfeng will naturally not miss this opportunity.

"Have you ever told anyone else about your ascension from the lower world?"

Xuanyuan Changfeng asked doubtfully.

"Never."

Cao Rui shook his head.

"That's good. Don't mention this matter to anyone easily, otherwise there will be some unnecessary troubles, which are not something you can easily handle at this stage."

Cao Rui naturally understood this truth, so he had never brought it up before.

If Xuanyuan Changfeng hadn't insisted on asking about his origins today, he wouldn't have wanted to say it.

"Senior, you are the only one who knows about this matter now.

But if a powerful senior wants to ask me questions in the future, how should I respond? "

"It doesn't matter if your identity is revealed. But you haven't attracted the attention of people of sufficient importance yet."

"Before someone comes to protect you on your cultivation journey, showing off your overpowering talent will only bring you trouble."

"In the future, at some particularly important occasions, when there are important people on site to watch, you can then announce your identity to the world."

Xuanyuan Changfeng reminded.

"Ok, I see."

Cao Rui nodded.

"Then how should I deal with the God of War challenge next?"

"This War God challenge is not a big deal. At that time, at most, strong men in the Fusion Realm will show up. If they ask about your origins, I will stop them."

"After all, you are also a member of the city guards. They dare not go too far with you."

"Okay, thank you, senior."

Cao Rui clasped his fists and thanked him. He had no idea what Xuanyuan Changfeng was really thinking.

But the proposal made by Xuanyuan Changfeng now coincides with what Cao Rui had in mind.

If Cao Rui had the opportunity to participate in some particularly important events and there were strong enough people of importance going to watch, Cao Rui would generously reveal his background.

Cao Rui also understood that the truth would eventually come out.

Accompany your future in this spiritual world and make your mark.

It will always attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things for now."

"Are you confident in the upcoming Ares Challenge?"

"To be honest, I don't have full confidence."

Cao Rui shook his head.

After all, the next opponent he has to face is a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Even if their cultivation levels were suppressed, their combat power levels were definitely not on the same level.

"I'm not really clear about the rules of the God of War Challenge. Can you explain it to me?"

Xuanyuan Changfeng spoke in confusion. After all, he was a cultivator at the fusion realm and did not have the time to watch the so-called competition.

Cao Rui briefly explained the general situation to Xuanyuan Changfeng.

"Then this battle is going to be a bit tricky for you."

"Yes, but now, I have already won the first ten games. The last game can only be regarded as an additional one. It would be best if I win, but it doesn't matter even if I lose."

"But whether I win or lose, there is no reason for me to back down."

Cao Rui did not think that he was invincible among the cultivators of the same level in the early stage of Spirit Transformation.

But win or lose, he will not back down.

"Well, with such confidence, no wonder you were able to ascend from a barren lower world to the spiritual world in such a short time."

"In that case, I will teach you a few moves."

"When I personally watched the battle that day, I discovered that your North Sea Icefield had already reached the perfect state of cultivation."

"Now, I'm afraid it's unlikely for you to cultivate a new magical power and cultivate it to perfection."

"And your realm has basically reached its limit. If you continue to cultivate, you will reach the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation."

It is not impossible for Cao Rui to break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

But by then that god of war will definitely suppress his realm to the middle stage of the God Transformation Realm. In comparison, Cao Rui's disadvantage will only be greater.

"For the next period of time, if you want to improve further, you can only continue to study this North Sea Ice Flame."

"What the senior said makes sense."

Cao Rui nodded repeatedly.

Cao Rui certainly understood this, but he had already cultivated the North Sea Ice Flame to perfection and there was no way to increase its power any further.

“It just so happens that I have also cultivated this North Sea Ice Flame to perfection.

I can give you some pointers on this.”

Upon hearing Xuanyuan Changfeng's frank words, Cao Rui's face immediately showed joy.

"Really? Thank you, senior."

Cao Rui clasped his fists.

"No need to be so polite. I hope you won't disappoint me."

"I have a few mantras here. Please write them down. How much you can understand in the end depends on your own understanding and luck."

Xuanyuan Changfeng said this and told Cao Rui a string of formulas.

Cao Rui memorized this series of formulas firmly.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

"Alas, I originally wanted to take you as my apprentice, but now it seems..."

Xuanyuan Changfeng sighed softly.

It is not an easy task to ascend to the spiritual world from the lower world which is poor in spiritual energy.

Every ascender will be fought over by various forces. Of course, some people die midway because they provoke terrifying existences.

Not only did Cao Rui ascend from the lower realm to the spiritual world, but he was also so young. As long as he didn't die midway, his future would be limitless.

But a big tree attracts the wind, what if Cao Rui's identity is exposed.

I'm afraid it will bring unnecessary trouble to Cao Rui, and may even implicate Xuanyuan Changfeng.

For this reason, Xuanyuan Changfeng did not choose to accept Cao Rui as his apprentice.

Instead, he positioned himself as a friend of Cao Rui.

In this way, if Cao Rui achieves something in the future, he will also be able to gain some benefits.

Even if Cao Rui unfortunately died midway, his enemies would not vent their anger on an ordinary friend like him.

Cao Rui naturally didn't know about Xuanyuan Changfeng's plans. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything.

In any case, Xuanyuan Changfeng came to remind him today and gave him some pointers.

Cao Rui was already very grateful to Xuanyuan Changfeng.

Moreover, there is a strong man in the fusion realm who is temporarily protecting them.

As long as Cao Rui doesn't act too arrogant for the time being, he will be safe.

Even if Xuanyuan Changfeng has other ideas, at least he shouldn't take action now.

After all, Cao Rui is still taking on the God of War challenge.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After coming here today and learning a secret of Cao Rui, Xuanyuan Changfeng left with satisfaction.

As for Cao Rui, today was also a fruitful day.

Xuanyuan Changfeng is a cultivator in the fusion stage after all.

He also passed on the secret formula of the North Sea Ice Flame to Cao Rui.

This mantra cannot greatly increase the power of the North Sea Ice Flame.

But it can help Cao Rui master and control this magical power more easily.

To put it simply, Xuanyuan Changfeng transformed the experience he had accumulated from practicing the North Sea Ice Flame for hundreds of years into a few simple formulas and passed them on to Cao Rui.

As for how much Cao Rui can understand before the final battle begins, it depends on his understanding and luck.
