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

"Brother Lu," Chen Xian saw the duel was over and immediately went down the stage to find Lu Yuguan. He handed him a pill from his arms and said, "Here, eat this to recover some spiritual power."

Lu Yuguan took the pill and nodded gratefully to Chen Xian.

He swallowed the pill and immediately felt a warm current flowing through his body, and his fatigue gradually dissipated.

Lu Yuguan took a deep breath and said to Chen Xian, "Thank you, Brother Chen. This medicine is really timely."

"Why are you being polite? We are good brothers," Chen Xian patted Lu Yuguan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "But, Brother Lu, the fights you just had were really exciting. Your body movements were so perfect that I was a little envious."

Lu Yuguan smiled slightly and responded modestly: "Brother Chen, you are too kind. I am just lucky."

"But Brother Lu, who is that little girl at the end?" Chen Xian asked.

Lu Yuguan sneered and said, "It's a long story. It should be a guardian spirit or something like that created by the technique."

"It's quite novel." Chen Xian raised his eyebrows slightly.

After seeing everyone leave the stage, Immortal Master Qingxue announced the next group of contestants to compete. However, no matter how exciting the subsequent competitions were, they probably wouldn't be able to reach Lu Yuguan's level.

"Brother Lu, let's go back to the audience seats first." Chen Xian was just about to pull Lu Yuguan away when he saw a group of people from the Xuanyu Sect walking towards them.

Chen Xian was surprised and said, "Brother Lu, in my humble opinion, the Xuanyu Sect is definitely interested in you."

Lu Yuguan looked at the oncoming people curiously, his mind uncertain. It wasn't that he was timid, but after going through so much with the Xuanyu Sect, he was a little worried.

The leading female cultivator, Maple Leaf, looked at Lu Yuguan gently and immediately took out the Xuanyu Sect's token and said, "Young Daoist friend, we are disciples of the Xuanyu Sect. We just watched your fight and saw that you are truly extraordinary. Would you be willing to join our Xuanyu Sect?"

The Maple Leaf nun smiled, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Join Xuanyu Sect?

Lu Yuguan's head trembled slightly. Isn't this early admission?

[Ding! Host, don't take shortcuts!] The system kindly reminded.

Lu Yuguan: ...

Well, in the end, I still succumb to the civilization values.

Lu Yuguan politely responded, "Thank you for your appreciation, Fairy. However, I have no plans at the moment, so please forgive me."

"Boy, our Xuanyu Sect has come down personally to show our appreciation for you. You'd better think carefully and don't say the wrong thing." The young Taoist said seriously.

Seeing that the young Taoist priest was angry, Lu Yuguan couldn't refuse him in person, so he could only continue to explain.

"Senior, I am just a small cultivator, not worth mentioning."

"Your sect will hold a general election in half a year. I want to try it out on my own and don't want to take this shortcut."

After hearing what Lu Yuguan said, the female cultivator Maple Leaf felt a little more appreciative and said, "Young Daoist friend, you are indeed a man of your own ideas. In that case, our Xuanyu Sect will not force you to do anything."

"However, if you change your mind in the future, the door of Xuanyu Sect will always be open to you."

Lu Yuguan nodded gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding, Fairy. I am very grateful."

"My name is Wen Lanfeng. If you come to Xuanyu Sect someday, remember to look for me."

Wen Lanfeng said with a smile.

[Current progress: 2/5]

Oh my god.

I almost forgot about this task!

The punishment for this thing is to deprive you of your cultivation, which is absolutely unbearable.

"Oh, Tong-chan, you're so nice!" Lu Yuguan was thankful for the system's reminder. If the system hadn't said so much, he would have suffered a lot.

The system sighed.

【You should pay attention to yourself. 】

"Tong-chan, why have you been so nice to me lately?" Lu Yuguan said, blinking his big eyes.

[Don't act like a spoiled child. I feel like vomiting.]

"Are you okay, Tong-chan?"

"If you say one more word, your civilization value will be deducted." The system said coldly.

Lu Yuguan: Ying.

After the Xuanyu Sect members left, a tall and handsome man appeared beside Lu Yuguan.

He was dressed in dark golden armor, with a long sword at his waist, and had slanted, handsome eyebrows and slender, sharp black eyes, which gave people a sense of endless mystery.

"Who is this?" Chen Xian asked the man.

"I am General Bai Xiao." Bai Xiao chuckled and looked at the two of them, then his gaze fell on Lu Yuguan's eyebrows and stayed there for a long time.

"General Bai?" Chen Xian looked at Bai Xiao's attire, glanced at the border troops' field in the audience, and said with a pout, "Are you here to rob people too?"

"Rob people? That's not necessary."

Bai Xiao shook his head and put his hand on Lu Yuguan's shoulder, which scared Lu Yuguan so much that his neck shrank.

"He is worthy of being a descendant of our Bai family. What my father said is right. He is really amazing." Bai Xiao couldn't help but admire.

Lu Yuguan was stunned by what he heard, and his brain was working rapidly.

Bai family?

Our Bai family?

He said his name was Bai Xiao... Could he be the eldest lady's son?

"Big...Brother?" Lu Yuguan asked tentatively.

When Bai Xiao heard Lu Yuguan calling him, he burst into laughter and couldn't help but clap a few more times.

"Good boy, you're quite smart. I didn't expect you to recognize me the first time we met." Bai Xiao said with a smile, "I received a letter from home half a month ago saying that I had a new outstanding brother. Seeing him today, it's true!"

Lu Yuguan was also quite surprised. He didn't expect to see the eldest son of the Bai family, whom he had never met and only knew about in other people's mouths, here.

"Did you agree to what those guys from Xuanyu Sect did just now?" Bai Xiao asked.

"No, no," Lu Yuguan waved his hands guiltily, "I can tell he's not a good person at first glance. I won't fall for it."

Bai Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good. I was planning to have you and Bai Ming go to the military camp with me."

Lu Yuguan was stunned after hearing this, rubbed his eyes and said, "No, brother, so you still came to find me at the border?"

"Of course." Bai Xiao snorted twice, hugged Lu Yuguan's neck and said, "Think about it, big brother is promising now, wouldn't it be easy for him to help you two get some official positions in the military camp?"

"By then, our Bai family will have three great generals. What a great family tradition!"

Lu Yuguan realized something was wrong when he heard it, and immediately bowed and said, "I'm sorry, brother, my conscience won't allow me to do this."

[Ding! Mission [Hidden Dragon, Do Not Use] Triggered]

[Current progress: 3/5]

Hey.

whee.

Haha.

"Oh, yess!"

Lu Yuguan was secretly happy. The clever little Lu had successfully avoided danger again.

system:……

You are quite smart. You know how to put your knowledge into practice.

"Of course," Lu Yuguan said happily, "Who said I'm stupid? My IQ is amazing!"

System: ...long-winded.

Bai Xiao looked at Lu Yuguan, who had a stern face, with a complicated expression on his face, and finally he sighed.

"You're such an unpredictable kid," Bai Xiao shook his head helplessly. "But since you don't want to go to the military camp with me, I won't force you."

Hearing this, Lu Yuguan felt relieved, but still asked nervously, "Brother, you won't be angry, right?"

"Angry? How could I be angry with you?" Bai Xiao patted Lu Yuguan's shoulder, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "You have your own ideas and pursuits, which is a good thing."

Lu Yuguan nodded gratefully, and his respect for this elder brother increased a little more.

Several people returned to the audience seats and waited for the fight to end.

"Huh? Isn't that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince?"

Chen Xian had sharp eyes and saw Li Chongjiu's figure under the stage.
