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

Although Lu Yuguan didn't want to see Li Chonglin again, he was going to attend classes at the Etiquette School today. Li Chonglin had already gone in. No matter what he said, Lu Yuguan had to meet him every day.

"Second brother, my stomach feels uncomfortable. Can you come back tomorrow? Or I can come back when the prince doesn't come?" Lu Yuguan looked like he had a stomachache. It would be a waste of his talent if he didn't win an Oscar for Best Actor.

Bai Ming rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think you can come and go as you please in this etiquette hall? The Ministry of Rites has ordered you to come to the etiquette hall to study and practice. It is an imperial order and cannot be disobeyed. If you act up again, be careful that you will be charged with disobeying the emperor's order."

"Yes, yes, second brother is right. I need to learn more from him." Lu Yuguan said confidently.

When Bai Ming saw that Lu Yuguan's momentum had weakened, he immediately felt relieved.

It was a rare occasion for Lu Yuxin to be convinced, and this fully demonstrated Bai Ming's superiority as the eldest brother.

"Hey, I always feel that the second young master is like some kind of animal now." Bai Doudou leaned close to Bai Yueyi's ear and said.

"What animal?" Bai Yueyi asked.

"——Peacock." Bai Kongming came up at some point and interrupted out of the blue.

Bai Doudou looked at the two young masters and couldn't help but sigh, "It really is true that there's always a way out! Our Third Young Master is the natural nemesis of the Second Young Master."

……

Lixuetang is a senior institution of higher learning in Longhua State founded by the emperor. It is dedicated to recruiting young people with potential. No matter whether they are talented in cultivation or have unique qualities in other aspects, they have the opportunity to enter Lixuetang to practice Taoism.

"Okay, Third Young Master, you and Second Young Master go over there, and we'll part ways now." Bai Doudou said with a bow.

"Hey, aren't we together?" Lu Yuguan asked doubtfully.

"Who do you think is as gifted as you?" Bai Ming pulled Lu Yuguan's sleeve. "You're in Room A, which is full of geniuses with single spiritual roots. I'm in Room B, with dual spiritual roots. Rooms C and D are built for cultivators who are not in the professional training class."

"Non-professional practice?" Lu Yuguan asked.

Bai Yueyi pulled Bai Kongming and pointed to the ring on his hand, saying, "Kongming is born with a precise control over fire. Although he has four spiritual roots, he also has the potential to become an alchemist. That's why the Ministry of Rites has specially allowed him to study at the Li Academy."

"What about you?" Lu Yuguan looked at Bai Yueyi curiously.

Bai Yueyi pulled out a jade-colored bamboo flute from her bosom and said, "Third Young Master, I practice the Way of Music, and Bai Doudou practices the Way of Spiritual Food. We were able to get in thanks to the Bai family."

Lu Yuguan nodded. It seemed that this Li Shutang was quite open-minded and taught students in accordance with their aptitude.

"But no matter what, I can't compare to the Third and Second Young Masters. People often say there are three thousand great ways, but specializing in the immortal way is the orthodox way. Without extraordinary talent and high-level cultivation, there's no way to advance any further," Bai Doudou touched his round head. "But for us, just being able to get a small official position is enough."

Lu Yuguan wanted to say something else, but it was no use being stuck at the fork in the road.

Seeing that the time was almost up and students from the sect were coming in one after another, Bai Ming hurriedly pulled Lu Yuguan inside.

"Remember, stop acting like a slick guy. When you confronted the prince just now, I almost thought I was going to be punished." Bai Ming said as he pushed Lu Yuguan.

"Is it that scary?" Lu Yuguan felt that no matter what, the prince would not be such an unreasonable person.

"You think too simply of the royal family." Bai Ming felt a palpitation in his heart as if he remembered something.

The entire layout of Lishu Hall is more like a huge manor than a school, with rockery everywhere, streams flowing, and birds singing and flowers blooming everywhere.

Both sides of the aisle are lined with inscriptions and Taoist calligraphy, with vigorous and powerful strokes engraved with various experiences of cultivation.

The two walked to the end of the road, where stood a statue. The face was carved extremely delicately, with a high nose bridge, clear lip lines, and an extraordinary temperament revealed between the eyebrows.

The figure is wearing a loose robe, the hem of which flutters in the wind, making him look elegant and mysterious.

She held a lantern in her left hand and a long sword in her right hand. She had a jade belt around her waist and the jade pendants jingled, adding a bit of fairy spirit to her.

There is a solemn and dignified atmosphere around the statue.

Even the surrounding trees seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, with their branches drooping in tribute to the statue.

Lu Yuguan was so shocked that he was speechless. After a while, he asked Bai Ming, "What is this..."

"Ancestor Xuanyu," Bai Ming said, a trace of admiration flashing in his eyes as he bowed slightly to the statue. "Ancestor Xuanyu was the first cultivator in Longhua Country to break his golden elixir and transform into a Nascent Soul. He founded the Xuanyu Sect. It's unknown what his cultivation level is today. Even the Xuanyu Sect doesn't know where he is currently wandering."

Lu Yuguan just stood quietly in front of the statue of Xuanyu Taizu, silent for a long time, no one knew what he was doing.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ming asked Lu Yuguan who was silent beside him.

"I always feel an inexplicable urge..." Lu Yuguan said carefully.

Before Lu Yuguan could finish his words, a young man in a green Taoist robe came up to him.

The young man was not afraid of strangers. He walked straight between the two people and Xuanyu Taizu, and knelt down in front of the statue with a "puff".

"Ancestor Xuanyu, I, Chen Xian, the eighteenth generation descendant of the Chen family, beg for your protection!" The young man roared to the sky, and his exaggerated expression moved people.

Passersby seemed to be used to it and at most sighed.

"Another crazy one..."

"Alas, this A-level genius is not having a good time either."

"Actually, staying in Class B isn't such a bad idea, hahahaha..."

……

Both Lu Yuguan and Bai Ming were shocked by Chen Xian's actions.

"What's wrong with him?" Lu Yuguan couldn't help but ask.

"Hiss," Bai Ming said, looking at the psychotic Chen Xian in front of him, counting on his fingers, "Oh no! Today is your Class A's small test. Those who don't pass will be kept after school as punishment!"

"A small test?" Lu Yuguan said with a twitch of his mouth.

Chen Xian took out various kinds of fine fruits from his pocket and placed them at Taizu's feet. He then took out three incense sticks from his sleeves, lit them, stood them upright in front of the statue, and kowtowed three times solemnly.

"I wish I could never eat stinky tofu, durian or watercress in my life, in exchange for passing this small test!" Chen Xian closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and muttered to himself.

Bai Ming's mouth twitched as he watched. He said, "Although I've heard that the small assessment system for Class A is extremely cruel, it's not necessary to make such a big deal before the exam. Besides, what kind of exchange is this?"

When Chen Xian heard Bai Ming's complaints, he turned around and stared at Bai Ming like a vengeful ghost with eyes wide open.

"You are from Class B, right? Please be nice to us from Class A and spare us!" Chen Xian's tears were about to overflow.

Bai Ming was just about to pull Lu Yuguan away, away from this abnormal guy, but when he turned around, he saw Lu Yuguan's eyes also filled with tears.

Bai Ming:?

"I understand... I understand you!" Lu Yuguan grabbed Chen Xian's shoulders, the pain he felt was about to burst out. "Forwarding the koi before the exam, even the red underwear, is salvation!"

Chen Xian had a bewildered look on his face. He didn't understand what Lu Yuguan was talking about, but that kind of unrestrained despair was something that someone who hadn't experienced great trials and setbacks could never fake.

He immediately held Lu Yuguan's hand, looked at him affectionately and said, "It has to be you, fellow Taoist!"

"I finally found my mental state... no, I found a like-minded friend!" Lu Yuguan said with emotion.

I remembered it, I remembered it all!

The excitement of pre-exam anxiety and grief in the old world, mixed with the guilt of not studying well, all came back.

"Tong'er..." Lu Yuguan began to input into the system again, "I have a hunch that Chen Xian is my half-brother."

The system was sleeping soundly, but was activated by the noise of several people crying for their parents.

【…】

"What's the matter, Tong'er?" Lu Yuguan blinked.

【I think it's necessary to re-examine your IQ. 】

Lu Yuguan: Meow meow meow.

Bai Ming looked at the two people who were startled and startled, and the frown on his head became more and more dense. He didn't know how to break this strange atmosphere.

Lu Yuguan seemed to remember something, and he opened the space in front of Xuanyu Taizu, and also did a shocking kneeling. The sound of the corrugated cover colliding with the stone slab was extremely crisp.

"Snapped--"

Lu Yuguan solemnly took out the completely soaked oil-paper bag from his arms, and then seriously took out the two remaining Goubuli meat buns, and shouted loudly:

"The handsome and majestic Xuanyu Taizu is above!——"

Bai Ming:?

Chen Xian:?

"I, Lu Yuguan, am willing to exchange two extremely precious meat buns for good luck in attending school today!"

The other two people present were stunned, and even the students who were passing by couldn't help but look over.

Bai Ming felt really ashamed, his face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he grabbed Lu Yuguan and tried to pull him up.

"Stop embarrassing yourself and leave!"

"Don't—" Chen Xian stopped Bai Ming's arm and said solemnly, "Let this brother complete his ceremony."

Other passers-by who were watching on the side could not help but stop and look at Lu Yuguan's pious expression.

"Hiss... My legs are numb... Help me up..."

Lu Yuguan screamed and waved at Bai Ming and Chen Xian, signaling them to help him.

Damn, why are you pretending?

The crowd of onlookers dispersed, and even the air was filled with disdain.

"Brother, you seem to be very impressive, but are you also proficient in the art of seeking fortune?" Chen Xian stepped forward to help Lu Yuguan up and said with a bow.

"The art of seeking luck? Well, you're too kind. I just know a little bit about it." Lu Yuguan said modestly.

Bai Ming just watched the two of them interacting with each other, his expression as if he had eaten a sour plum, and his facial features were all twisted together.

"I don't care about you anymore. If you don't leave now, you will be late. See you later!" Bai Ming said hello to Lu Yuguan and walked towards Room B on his own.

Chen Xian exclaimed "Ouch" and then realized that he had taken too long.

He looked at Lu Yuguan and suddenly realized, "Is this brother the new student who came to Room A today?"

"That's right, I'm new here, so please forgive me." Lu Yuguan said with a smile.

"My name is Chen Xian." Chen Xian clasped his fists.

"Lu Yuguan." Lu Yuguan also learned it well, with a serious attitude.

The two of them laughed heartily. Although they had never met before, they were like old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

"Brother Lu, this way please."

Chen Xian casually opened his arms and led Lu Yuguan towards Room A.
