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

Xuanyu Sect, meeting hall.

"Reporting to Chief Secretary Xiao, it has been spread throughout the capital recently that the Bai family's new third young master is born with top-grade wood spiritual roots!"

In the empty hall, the man in the first position was listening to the news from his subordinates and was shocked.

If Lu Yuguan were here, he would definitely recognize that this was the black figure that knocked him unconscious.

"Nonsense, how is this possible!" Xiao Zhubu was in disbelief. He couldn't help but stand up and quickly walked up to the man. "Can you explain it more clearly? What exactly is going on?"

The subordinate also looked confused and shook his head, saying, "I don't know either, but there are many rumors in the capital that during the ceremony of entering the ancestral hall, the furnace tripod detected a top-grade wood spirit root, and the strength of the fourth stage of the Dust Transformation Stage -"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Xiao Zhubu's voice echoed throughout the meeting hall. "When he was first abducted, wasn't it determined that he had mixed spiritual roots? He was even at the fourth stage of the Dust Transformation Stage. How could he have broken through two minor realms in a short period of just a few days? Could it be that he was replaced?"

"I also find it strange, but the Ministry of Rites of Longhua State has already known about this matter. I believe the royal family also wants to win over this person, so it is inevitable that he will get rid of our control." said the subordinate.

Xiao Zhubu pondered for a moment and said coldly, "If this boy is truly a genius, I think he was caught that day by hiding his true identity. He must have been helped by someone with great talent. No, we must not let Lord Du's plan go awry. Go check who this boy has been in contact with!"

"Don't worry, sir. I'll do it right away."

As the figure retreated, only Xiao Zhubu was left in the huge meeting hall, puzzled.

"It's clearly just an ordinary furnace, how could it have such talent? Damn, if this is the case, then we're at a loss—No, no, we have to report this to Lord Du immediately!"

Xiao Zhubu hurriedly left the meeting hall and walked towards the interior of the sect.

……

Capital city, Bai people’s residence.

The ancestral hall is just opposite the main hall of Baiyu Hall, separated by a clear lake, symbolizing that the Bai family is as pure as a mirror and their loyalty is witnessed by the sun and the moon.

"My fellow disciples, please take your seats—" Following the order from the old man who presided over the morning ceremony, the disciples who had just entered the gate crowded into the open space in front of the ancestral hall, knelt down in front of their respective cushions, and waited for the head of the family and the elders to take their seats.

Daiyu led Lu Yuguan to the front row and instructed him, "Third Young Master, your seat is here. Just wait for your orders. We, the servants, will withdraw first." After that, Daiyu and Qingwen left the ancestral hall together.

Lu Yuguan looked around, and the crowd of Bai family members behind him all looked at him curiously.

"That's the Third Young Master, right?"

"That should be it, but it looks no different from us."

"What do you know? How can his single supreme spiritual root be the same as ours? Maybe it's because his aura is restrained, and he's actually several realms higher than us."

"Yes, yes, yes. I heard that the Third Young Master was born with a special ability, which he normally doesn't show. But when he practices his skills, he can grow six ears and three eyes..."

Lu Yuguan listened to these absurd remarks without changing his expression, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and he didn't know who made up such outrageous words.

Not long after he sat down, someone came to the cushion next to him. Lu Yuguan turned his head and saw that it was indeed Bai Ming, the second young master of the Bai family. Across him, the seat for the eldest young master was empty on the other side. It was obvious that this row was prepared for the children of the main lineage.

Counting down the rows according to their status, the second row should be the elders. Lu Yuguan glanced to his right and saw Bai Doudou's harmless face grinning at him.

"Don't look around. You have to learn some of the rules of the Bai family." Bai Ming couldn't help but speak, and there was a hint of disgust in his words.

Lu Yuguan coughed lightly, moved closer to Bai Ming and said, "Second brother, thank you."

Bai Ming rolled his eyes at him and stared intently at the ancestral hall.

"Second brother, there's actually an explanation for your personality—"

Lu Yuguan spoke quietly in a low voice.

"Call me Tsundere."

Bai Ming's body twitched, and the disciples behind him could clearly see his hair shaking.

It's really not easy. The children of the elders couldn't help but sigh. The usually arrogant and domineering Second Young Master, except for the eldest young master who could suppress him, no one among his peers could compete with the Second Young Master. Now, out of nowhere, the Third Young Master who didn't play by the rules came and actually made the Second Young Master lose. It was really strange.

To a certain extent, Lu Yuguan was able to vent the anger of the young men.

"——Welcome the head of the family and the elders to take their seats!" The old man who presided over the morning bowing ceremony shouted, and the sleepy young men became alert, and they all straightened their backs.

Lu Yuguan also stood up straight and looked inside the ancestral hall.

On one side of the ancestral hall, Bai Zheng was the leader, followed by five elders, standing in the front row of the hall.

"Let's start." Bai Zheng ordered the old man.

The old man nodded slightly, shook his sleeves, and shouted to the Bai family disciples kneeling outside the ancestral hall: "My disciples, listen to my orders and perform the morning kowtow ceremony!——"

After the old man finished shouting, everyone present knelt down and bowed towards the many tablets of the Bai family in the ancestral hall.

Bai Zheng and the elders bowed with both hands and leaned forward to show their respect.

"Tongzi-chan, I have something I don't know whether I should say it or not." Lu Yuguan couldn't sit still again and said to the system.

[Then shut up.] The system rolled its eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't. It's so boring without you to chat with me," Lu Yuguan said, trying to persuade her. "Don't you think bowing like this every time will hurt your waist? Why not try some radio gymnastics instead? It can also strengthen your body. What do you say?"

system:……

【Host, as long as you are happy. 】

"You haven't answered my question yet, what do you think?" Lu Yuguan's puppy tail was almost raised.

[…Don’t you think it’s immoral to do morning exercises instead of bowing before your ancestors?]

"Hiss, you're right," Lu Yuguan thought about this question seriously and continued, "Then we'll do it after we finish knocking."

System: ...There's no hope.

After the morning bowing ceremony, Bai Zheng turned around and looked at the Bai family members outside the ancestral hall, and the temperament of the head of the family was naturally revealed.

When his eyes swept over Lu Yuguan, they were filled with kindness and appreciation, which made Bai Ming, who was already unhappy, even more unbalanced.

"You are all the best of our Bai family, the seeds of immortal cultivation entering the immortal gate. Anyone who achieves the Tao and enters the foundation-building stage or even the golden elixir stage will be recorded in our Bai family's genealogy." Bai Zheng's voice echoed throughout the ancestral hall. The surroundings were silent, and every word was heard clearly. "In half a year, when spring comes, all major sects will open the path to immortality. During this period, you must practice diligently and strive to achieve the perfection of the dust-transformation stage. Only then will you have the possibility of obtaining the immortal fate!"

Lu Yuguan looked at his father and couldn't help but sigh: "My father really has the demeanor of a great general."

"Shh, shut up! You have to address me as the Patriarch in public!" Bai Ming nudged Lu Yuguan hard with his elbow. "The Patriarch is a key figure in Longhua State, and my eldest brother is also leading troops on the border. How can he not be so impressive?"

As Bai Ming said these words, the admiration in his eyes was about to overflow.

"Besides, Yuguan, come forward--" Bai Zheng suddenly changed the subject and called Lu Yuguan's name.

"Me?" Lu Yuguan stood up stupidly and walked forward under the gaze of everyone.

The elders in front of him all looked at Lu Yuguan. Lu Yuguan recognized them. The kind one was Elder Bai Wu, the one with a face as sour as a monkey's butt was Elder Bai Zhen, but he did not recognize the other three.

The old man pulled out a roll of yellow paper and read in a sonorous voice, "Lu Yuguan, the third son of Bai Zheng of the Bai family, is exceptionally gifted and possesses unlimited potential. With the approval of the Longhua State's Ministry of Rites, he will begin studying at the Rites Academy effective immediately—"

This holy order made all the disciples present gasp in shock.

What was the Lishu Hall? It was a place where a powerful Jindan-stage master presided over the teachings. Ordinary students could only learn the basics of martial arts in ordinary schools. Only truly gifted cultivators were allowed to enter the Lishu Hall to study Taoism.

Throughout the history of Longhua Kingdom, no one who has truly entered the immortal gate has not studied in the Li Shu Tang. Even if they have not entered the immortal gate, relying solely on the title of studying with the royal children, it is not a problem to get an official position in Longhua Kingdom. All of these have attracted thousands of cultivators.

Bai Ming bit his fingers. Although he had expected this result, the reality before him still made it hard for him to accept it.

Li Shu Tang, that’s Li Shu Tang!

Even in an academy where even those with dual spiritual roots found it difficult to enter, Lu Yuguan had to rely on his connections to squeeze in, but he actually got in easily.

All the students present had the same idea, especially those who were also students of Li Shu Tang, who were even more moved.

Lu Yuguan returned to his seat after receiving the order, and Bai Zheng announced the end of the morning kowtow ceremony. As the head of the family and the elders left, the disciples around Lu Yuguan all reported the good news.

"Congratulations, Third Young Master!"

"The Third Young Master is truly a rare talent!"

"We will all be classmates from now on. If Third Young Master has anything you don't understand, feel free to ask us."

……

Bai Doudou even greeted him with a smile, saying, "Third Young Master, I'll be counting on you to take care of me from now on."

Lu Yuguan looked at Bai Doudou curiously and asked, "Bai Doudou, let me ask you, have you known this news for a long time?"

"Oh, look at what you said, Third Young Master. I admire your genius so much--" Bai Doudou's lips were about to smoke again.

"Stop, tell the truth." Lu Yuguan stopped him.

Bai Doudou glanced around and whispered in Lu Yuguan's ear, "The young master of the Fei family is my friend. His father is a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Rites. He told me this."

I knew it... Lu Yuguan curled his lips and looked at Bai Doudou.

"Hey, hey, hey, Third Young Master, please don't think of me, Bai Doudou, as the kind of person who curries favor with the powerful. Apart from anything else, I have many friends, especially a genius like you, Third Young Master. It is my blessing to make friends with you." Bai Doudou patted his chest and said righteously.

Bai Doudou didn't care whether Lu Yuguan listened or not. She just made her point clear and pulled Lu Yuguan out.

"Hurry up and go, Third Young Master. We have to go to the Lishu Hall to study after dinner."

Lu Yuguan covered his stomach and realized that he was starving.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't starve to death on the way! - Hey, second brother, want to come with me?"

Bai Ming was about to leave on his own when Lu Yuguan called him from afar, who ran over and grabbed his arm to go with him.

"Second brother, one of the typical manifestations of tsundere is being angry and ignoring others. Don't learn bad habits." Lu Yuguan said quietly.

"Well... of course, whatever my third brother says is true." Bai Ming responded with a forced smile, but his heart was full of excitement.

He couldn't win against her in terms of talent, and he couldn't win against her in terms of eloquence either - that damn Lu Yuguan was truly the nemesis sent by heaven to him!
