Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Lu Yuguan turned around and saw that the so-called immortal master had finally arrived.

The immortal master was dressed in a robe as long as flowing clouds, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind, as if he had descended from the heavens. Every step he took exuded an aura of transcendence from the mortal world.

He had a kind face and his eyes swept gently over everyone present, finally stopping on Lu Yuguan. He nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Yes, yes. It's rare to be able to display such strength and grace in the face of adversity."

The Immortal Master's voice was gentle yet powerful, echoing in front of the Lotus Tower and filling everyone with awe.

Lu Yuguan quickly bowed and humbly said, "Thank you for the compliment, Master. I am just doing my best."

The Immortal Master smiled slightly, then turned to look at the young men who had been knocked to the ground by Lu Yuguan, and said gently: "The path of cultivation is not achieved in a day, nor can it be accomplished by one person alone."

The four young men nodded in agreement upon hearing this. They could only endure the pain and nod to the Immortal Master, saying, "Thank you for your teachings, Immortal Master."

The immortal master waved his sleeves lightly, and a breeze blew by, instantly healing the injured young men.

Then, the immortal master turned his gaze to Li Chonglin and Li Chongjiu on the top of the tower and nodded slightly.

"Let's end today's matter here," the Immortal Master said, his tone stern. "In half an hour, the small test in Room A will begin. Now I give you time to rest and prepare."

"Ah! Damn it! I'm not even ready just by watching them fight."

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and practice!"

"Come on, can you break through another realm in half an hour?"

……

The Lotus Tower immediately began to cry out in pain, while Four Beans and the other four had even more bitter expressions on their faces.

He had just experienced a sparring match and was already short of spiritual energy. Although his injuries were treated by the immortal master, he was still in poor spirits. I think he was ready to be at the bottom of the upcoming assessment.

"I'm new here, so I shouldn't need any assessment, right?" Lu Yu thought with concern.

The Immortal Master had obviously anticipated Lu Yuguan's thoughts and said to him, "Although this is your first time here, this assessment is a crucial battle for a place in the Lotus Tower. If you can achieve good results, you might be able to cultivate on the higher floors."

Lu Yuguan's face instantly turned bitter, but since the immortal master had already said so, he could only do as he was told.

"I'll send you to the middle level to rest. When the time comes, you'll be assessed along with everyone else."

As soon as the immortal master finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve lightly, sending a breeze that blew Lu Yuguan onto one of the empty cushions on the middle level of the Lotus Tower.

"Is it so powerful?"

Lu Yuguan sat down on the mat and said in astonishment.

"Of course," Lu Yuguan had already earned the favor of many people after the recent battle. The students nearby came closer to him and said, "Master Zhang is a Jindan-stage cultivator. If he hadn't received the favor of the Longhua Kingdom's royal family, he would have passed away long ago. Why would he condescend to teach us cultivation here?"

"I really envy."

Lu Yuguan couldn't help but be shocked.

"Tongzi-chan, I want to learn that move too!"

Lu Yuguan transformed into a puppy, calling out to the system in his heart.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you?" the system said.

"Damn, can you really teach me?" Lu Yuguan widened his eyes.

[I have a quick trick. Close your eyes now.]

"Well, close it, what next?"

Lu Yuguan happily waited for the system's reply.

【…】

"Teacher Tong, please say something!"

Lu Yuguan became anxious.

【Don't worry. 】

I'm waiting for you to fall asleep.

Lu Yuguan: ...

"View the panel!"

Lu Yuguan thought about it and decided to first look at his current level. After all, he would be taking an assessment soon and he didn’t know what it would be like.

[Name: Lu Yuguan]

[Civilization Value: 0]

[Cultivation: Dust Transformation Stage 5 (Breakthrough possible)]

[Spiritual Power: 50/50]

[Spiritual Root Attribute: Single Wood Root]

[Kung Fu: Internal Kung Fu | Furnace Cauldron Demon Control Heart Method (Bronze Furnace Cauldron Heart Sutra, Beginner Level), External Kung Fu | Solar Terms, Part 1 (Beginning of Spring Breeze)]

[Skill: None]

[Multiple "None" attribute item columns are hidden here]

"what?"

Lu Yuguan looked curiously at the word "breakthrough" following the word "cultivation".

Could it be that after this battle, one's own cultivation can be consolidated?

Seeing this, Lu Yuguan did not waste any more time. He immediately sat cross-legged and started practicing the Bronze Furnace Heart Sutra.

As the mental method was put into practice, Lu Yuguan felt a warm current flowing through his body, as if a force was gradually gathering.

His spiritual power began to surge through his meridians, like small streams flowing into rivers, gradually converging into a powerful torrent.

The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be attracted and rushed into Lu Yuguan's body.

His spiritual root attribute is a single wood spiritual root, and at this moment it resonates with the natural forces around him.

The rich spiritual energy in the Lotus Tower made Lu Yuguan's practice more effective.

On the top of the Lotus Tower, four young men who had just experienced a fierce battle finally climbed up and knelt down when they saw Li Chongjiu.

"Your Highness, we are defeated."

String Bean's face was pale and his eyes were full of resentment.

Li Chongjiu said calmly, his face showing no sadness or joy, "It's okay."

"But, that brat..."

Sijidou gritted his teeth, obviously still upset about Lu Yuguan's victory.

"Don't worry, his strength is indeed extraordinary," Li Chongjiu said calmly, "After all, he has a single-attribute wood spiritual root, so it's normal that you can't defeat him."

Single-attribute wood spiritual root!

The four of them felt like they were hit hard by a hammer in their hearts.

It turns out that this is the gap between them and geniuses.

"Yes, senior brother." Sijidou and others looked bitter. Although they were still unwilling in their hearts, they dared not disobey Li Chongjiu's words.

After the four people left, Li Zhonglin finally spoke slowly, "I remember that the Bai family seemed to have mainly water spiritual roots, but this Lu Yuguan has top-grade wood spiritual roots. I don't think it's possible that he is taking advantage of the Bai family's bloodline."

Upon hearing this, Li Chongjiu frowned slightly and said, "My Royal Highness, what you mean is..."

"The technique this guy is practicing is something I've never seen before. It seems to be on par with the highest-level techniques used by the royal family."

Li Zhonglin pondered for a moment and instructed Miao'er beside him: "Have your men investigate what the origins of Lu Yuguan are. Oh, and don't let the Xuanyu Sect people interfere. I suspect they have something fishy going on."

"Yes." Miao'er bowed and clasped her hands.

"Royal brother, just for this matter, there is no need to get involved with the Xuanyu Sect, right?" Li Chongjiu asked.

Li Chonglin sneered and looked far away in the direction of Xuanyu Sect.

“Although the royal family still relies on the Xuanyu Sect now, it is uncertain what will happen in the future.”

At the same time, Lu Yuguan was practicing quietly on the cushion. The surrounding spiritual energy continued to flow into his body, and his cultivation level was steadily improving.

As his cultivation level improved, he felt an unprecedented power surging in his body.

"Breakthrough!"

Lu Yuguan was delighted and felt as if his body was filled with a powerful force.

His spiritual power surged through his meridians and finally gathered in his dantian, forming a new source of power.

"The sixth stage of the Dust Transformation Stage, done!"

"Oh my god, no, buddy, you said it was a breakthrough, and it really was a breakthrough!"

The students nearby were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped.

Lu Yuguan opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashing in them. He felt his body become lighter, as if it could float in the wind.

He stood up, stretched, felt the surging power in his body, and his heart was filled with confidence.

"It seems this breakthrough came at the perfect time. I should be more confident in the upcoming assessment."

Lu Yuguan muttered to himself, "I don't know what kind of situation could cause everyone to be so worried."

At this moment, Master Zhang's voice rang out again: "The time has come, the assessment is about to begin, all students please gather at the top of the Lotus Pagoda."

Lu Yuguan took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the top of the Lotus Tower.

Along the way, he felt the gazes of other students, which were filled with envy, admiration, and a bit of curiosity.

He glanced around and happened to meet Chen Xian's gaze. The two nodded slightly and smiled at each other.

When Lu Yuguan reached the top of the tower, he saw Li Chonglin, Li Chongjiu and others standing by.

Lu Yuguan had never seen Li Chongjiu before, but he felt that he was slightly similar to Li Chonglin who was beside him, but also different.

At this moment, Li Chonglin was looking at Lu Yuguan's eyes with a playful look.

"Ah... Tong-chan, why do I feel so gloomy?"

Lu Yuguan shuddered subconsciously.

【Kidney deficiency.】The system said coldly.

"Oh, it's not you—"

【Civilization value.】

"——How thoughtful!"

System: ...The Lotus Tower has been built, but Lu Yuguan really can’t build any further.

Master Zhang stood in the air, gazing at each student with sharp eyes.

"The test is simple," Immortal Master Zhang said calmly, "You will enter a fantasy world. Only those who pass the test will be eligible to choose a training location in the Lotus Tower. Remember, everything in the fantasy world is illusory, but the test is real. Don't lose yourself, and stay calm."

The students nodded one after another, and Lu Yuguan returned to his thoughts and clenched his fists.

"Let's begin." The immortal master waved his hand lightly, and the light on the top of the lotus tower gradually gathered into a light gate.

The students stepped into the light gate one after another. Lu Yuguan took a deep breath and followed closely behind.

He felt dizzy, and then his eyes lit up, and he found himself in a mysterious illusion.

The assessment officially begins.

"I wonder if the young master of the Bai family can escape this illusion?" Immortal Master Zhang muttered to himself, "But then again, if he can rival the Crown Prince, he might even be able to reach the top of the tower."

It’s not that Master Zhang is particularly optimistic about Lu Yuguan, but it is indeed rare to be able to adjust one’s state in time and break through under such circumstances.

The illusion created by Master Zhang is the result of the Daytime Drunken Dream Technique he practiced. For cultivators at a lower level, it can directly cause hallucinations and make them lose themselves.

Of course, to cultivators of the same level or even higher, it is naturally like a child's toy.

A cultivator with weak cultivation or weak will will be quickly defeated by the things in the illusion. The more resolute the cultivator is, the longer he can persist in the illusion.

The things constructed in the illusion are the things that the victim fears most in his heart.

……

"The teacher is here!"

The familiar school bell rang slowly in his ears, and Lu Yuguan sat in his familiar seat in a daze, with a dull look in his eyes.

Where the hell is this for me?

Is this still domestic?
