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

"Brother Emperor, I was just chatting with him." Li Chongjiu said with a smile.

"Oh? Really?"

Li Chonglin responded indifferently, but his eyes never left Lu Yuguan's figure.

He knew in his heart that Li Chongjiu's so-called chat was not that simple.

"Brother Emperor, you seem to be very interested in Lu Yuguan." Li Chongjiu asked tentatively.

"He is an interesting person." Li Chonglin replied calmly.

"Interesting? Brother Emperor, you don't have any special thoughts about him, do you?" Li Chongjiu said half-jokingly.

Li Chonglin smiled slightly and did not answer directly, but looked at Lu Yuguan more deeply.

Li Chongjiu was particularly concerned about what happened at Qianhua Lao that day. He understood that although Long Yang's love was not a niche thing in Kyoto.

But his royal brother, Li Chonglin, is the crown prince of Longhua Kingdom. If he is labeled as a homosexual, he may not be able to succeed to the throne.

"I remember that the Eighth Brother seemed to have inherited the style of the previous dynasty...why not let him try?" Li Chongjiu thought to himself.

In the audience, the cultivators of Xuanyu Sect were also staring at Lu Yuguan.

This competition at the Etiquette School is not a big deal in itself.

In previous years, it was just to place a disciple there to take a look.

But this year, for some reason, the elders unanimously decided to have each peak and helm send disciples to explore and search for good seedlings.

"I didn't expect that this kid has reached the foundation-building stage at such a young age." A female cultivator with a maple leaf painted between her eyebrows exclaimed.

"I remember that during the last demon extermination, he was still at the Dust Transformation Stage. Now it seems he's making rapid progress. This little fellow's cultivation speed is truly astonishing," a black-robed deacon nearby couldn't help but sigh. "With this kind of cultivation talent, even within the Outer Sect, he would have excellent potential."

This deacon from the Law Enforcement Hall had met Lu Yuguan before and was naturally impressed by him.

"However, it is said that he has a close relationship with the Crown Prince of Longhua Kingdom," another white-haired young man whispered, "It's hard to say which side this kid will take in the future."

"Do we still need to take sides?" The female cultivator Maple Leaf snorted, as if she didn't care about the title of the Crown Prince of Longhua Kingdom.

After hearing this, several people smiled knowingly.

Indeed, although Longhua Kingdom is the largest country in Dongxuan Continent, its foundation is far from enough compared with the big sects, and there is no comparison at all.

"I heard that Chief Clerk Xiao Wan seems to think highly of him," the young Taoist priest sitting in the middle said solemnly, "and it seems Pan Yin also suffered a setback because of this guy."

"Pan Yin?" The white-haired young man frowned and said, "I remember he had already reached the Golden Core Stage. How could he not be able to defeat a mere Huachen Stage cultivator?"

The black-robed deacon interrupted their conversation with a wry smile on his face.

"Although it may be a little outrageous, this kid did survive in the cave that Pan Yin built privately for three whole days."

All the cultivators of Xuanyu Sect were stunned. They all seemed to understand what a monster Pan Yin was.

How can a mere Dust Transformation Stage person survive in Pan Yin’s hands?

This kid is definitely not simple.

"It seems that the elders' goal this time is very clear." The young Taoist said with a smile.

The Maple Leaf cultivator's eyes sparkled as she muttered to herself, "How interesting! After the duel is over, I want to meet this little fellow in person."

Just as Huang Ming's long sword was about to pierce Lu Yuguan, Lu Yuguan suddenly stopped, slowed down his pace, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Is there a trick?"

When Huang Ming saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But even so, he had no time to think. Huang Ming swung the long sword in his hand suddenly, aiming straight at Lu Yuguan's throat.

"finally come."

Lu Yuguan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his right hand and made a gesture.

"A thousand trees and thorns!——"

"not good!"

The students in the audience exclaimed in surprise, and the atmosphere in Room B instantly plummeted to the bottom.

Just as the long sword was about to touch Lu Yuguan, countless sharp thorns rose from the ground, like giant pythons entwined around Huang Ming's long sword, preventing his attack from moving forward at all.

Huang Ming's face changed and he hurriedly wanted to draw his sword and retreat, but he found that his sword was firmly entangled by thorns and could not move.

Lu Yuguan showed a sneer on his face, and waved his right hand lightly. The thorns shrank quickly like a living thing, binding Huang Ming in place.

"How can this be?"

Huang Ming exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief.

The students in the audience also widened their eyes. They had never seen such a strange spell.

"You despicable guy, if you have the guts, put me down!" Huang Ming glared at Lu Yuguan.

Lu Yuguan didn't care. He slowly walked towards Huang Ming, who was bound by thorns, and said lightly: "It's just a matter of every possible means."

Huang Ming was stunned. Before he could understand what the other party said, Lu Yuguan's figure appeared behind him.

Lu Yuguan lightly slapped Huang Ming on the shoulder, and a domineering palm force was injected into his body.

"Thank you." Lu Yuguan smiled faintly and withdrew his hand.

Huang Ming felt his body go limp and he could no longer hold the long sword in his hand. Lu Yuguan withdrew the thorn spell and Huang Ming fell straight to the ground.

Immortal Master Qingxue came on stage to check on Huang Ming who had fallen to the ground. He was already completely unconscious, so he announced the result of the first fight.

"Lu Yuguan wins!"

The voice of Immortal Master Qingxue echoed above the arena, announcing the end of the competition.

The students in Class A burst into warm applause. Lu Yuguan's victory shocked everyone present.

A hint of admiration flashed in Maple Leaf Cultivator's eyes, and she whispered to herself, "This kid is truly extraordinary."

The young Taoist priest also smiled and nodded: "It seems that the elders have chosen the right person this time."

Lu Yuguan smiled slightly, bowed to Master Qingxue, then turned around and prepared to walk off the stage.

But just as he stepped off the stage, the system's prompt sounded suddenly.

[Ding! The host's strength has been detected to be extremely high, and a civilization mission is now being issued!]

[Mission Details: Many fighting spirits have appeared. Please defend the arena within the specified time!]

[Difficulty: Three Stars]

[Reward: Number of entries into the Deep Secret Realm*1]

[Punishment: Randomly shut down the six senses for three days]

【Time limit: 10 minutes】

"Fuck your system!" Lu Yuguan couldn't help but curse.

[Ding! The host has been detected swearing, and one point of civilization value has been deducted.]

Lu Yuguan didn't think so. Now that he was carrying a huge sum of money worth more than 30 civilization values, he was not afraid of the system's punishment at all.

It's just that this mission came too suddenly, and the punishment for mission failure was too severe, so he had to take it seriously.

Before Lu Yuguan could react, the students in the No. 1 field could no longer sit still.

"Master, please allow us to challenge Lu Yuguan as an exception!"

"Yes, we want to challenge Lu Yuguan!"

"Take back the lost face!"

It is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied when their people suffer a setback and lose so miserably.

Immortal Master Qingxue glanced at Zhang Luocheng in the audience. The other party just smiled slightly and nodded lightly. Seeing this, Immortal Master Qingxue didn't know what to say.

"Lu Yuguan, can you agree to the request of fellow Taoists from Room B?" Immortal Master Qingxue asked Lu Yuguan.

Lu Yuguan glanced at the excited audience in the B-class spectator seats and nodded firmly.

"In that case, please ask Room A Lu Yuguan to choose an opponent to challenge."

Immortal Master Qingxue was about to vacate the venue, but then he heard Lu Yuguan's words -

"Master Immortal, can you allow me to fight against so many enemies alone?"
