Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 240 A disciple of a great master?! Guidance!

The voice was crisp and clear.
It was a woman's voice, and her age was impossible to discern.

As the voice rang out, the scene before Li Wushou changed again. The raging waves subsided, and he found himself in a grand hall made entirely of white jade.

The main hall is decorated with cloud patterns that seem to be alive and flowing slowly.

Looking up, I saw three people sitting directly in front of the main hall.

The one in the center is like a pure and refreshing aura, with white hair and a youthful face, and an ethereal and otherworldly appearance.

The one on the right seems to be empty, yet it also seems to contain all things; sometimes it is heavy, sometimes it is empty.

The person on the left is a woman, wearing a long black dress, with her hair casually tied back.

She appeared to be in her twenties or thirties, possessing a mature and elegant air unlike the delicate charm of a young girl. Her gaze was refined and graceful, and her azure eyes, carrying a subtle smile, scrutinized Li Wushou.

These three should be the founders of the Floating and Void lineages, and the sea patrol envoy under the Great Lord of the Sea.

"Li Wushou greets the two patriarchs and the sea patrol envoy."

Li Wushou replied calmly and then withdrew his gaze.

He then slowly withdrew his raging blood and energy back into his body, standing silently beside the Dragon King.

He always felt that the way the sea patrolman looked at him was a bit strange.

And what the other person just said.

If he were to reveal his name, it's possible that the founders of the two floating lineages revealed it to him. After all, according to Li Wushou's plan, the founders of the two floating lineages summoned him up to have the sea patrol envoy verify his identity.

That's really interesting, isn't it?

Who said he's interesting?
Surely he couldn't also be the founder of the two floating sects?
Unlike Li Wushou's calmness.

Inside the main hall, the two patriarchs of the floating lineages displayed different expressions and were in a state of flux.

They had anticipated that Li Wushou's physical body was exceptionally strong, after all, he had just suppressed a Golden Core cultivator in Wangxian City.

But after seeing Li Wushou unleash his full power to unleash his soaring blood energy, they realized that Li Wushou had already shown mercy to Gongsun Huoyao.

Even they felt a sense of dread at the sheer physical presence and blood energy emanating from the other party.

If a normal person's blood and qi were to boil like that, their bones and muscles would have been broken and their flesh and blood would have withered away long ago.

Is it possible for the human body to be this strong?
As expected of a disciple of the Great Master Zhenhai!
Yes! Through what just happened, the patriarchs of the two floating lineages finally confirmed the fact that Li Wushou was a disciple of the Great Venerable Zhenhai.

The founder of the Kongzi lineage sent Li Wushou to Xuankong Mountain with the intention of having the sea patrol envoy verify his identity. Later, after some persuasion from the founder of the Fuzi lineage, the two found a compromise.

That is to tell the Sea Patrol Envoy that Huazhou has discovered a promising young talent with a good physical body, and ask him to take a look and see if he can recommend him to cultivate under the Great Venerable.

Speaking in this way would allow the other party to take notice of Li Wushou without offending either side, and would also leave Xuankong Mountain with a reputation for being devoted to the Great Venerable and promoting talent above all else.

The sea patrol envoy, who was not particularly interested in these matters at first, hesitated for a moment after hearing that the seedling was a priest, and then agreed.

That's why I just tested Li Wushou.

From the moment Li Wushou entered the main hall, they observed not only Li Wushou's behavior but also the expression of the patrol envoy.

To their surprise, the other party called out the priest's name immediately.

It should be noted that they only discovered Li Wushou's name after returning to the Hanging Mountain. When they asked the Sea Patrol Envoy to examine him, they never mentioned Li Wushou's name at all.

The two had never met before, and there was no other explanation besides the fact that the other was indeed a disciple of the Great Master Zhenhai.

Having confirmed this, the founders of the Floating and Empty lineages had different thoughts.

The patriarch of the Floating Lineage was naturally pleased with the sudden influx of help, but the patriarch of the Empty Lineage was clouded with unease, and his plans for Li Wushou's subsequent actions were immediately abandoned.

Both of them were deep thinkers, and after confirming this, they said nothing more.

Just as the patriarch of the Fuzi lineage had previously thought, the best way for Xuankong Mountain to handle the matter that the Great Venerable Zhenhai had not mentioned was to establish a good relationship and pretend not to know.

Although the founder of the Kongzi lineage was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept it.

However, the Kongzi lineage is well-prepared this time. As long as it stays within the rules, even with an additional disciple of a Grand Venerable, they won't cause any trouble; it will just require more effort.

The Dragon King, standing beside Li Wushou, was extremely pleased to see this scene.

He had just entered and finished his greetings, and was about to introduce the two patriarchs and the sea patrol envoy to Li Wushou.

But then he saw Li Wushou suddenly burst forth with blood energy as soon as he entered. Then the patrol envoy spoke, and he understood that the patrol envoy was checking Li Wushou's identity.

The result was clearly a good thing for the Fu Zi lineage and for him; Li Wushou should indeed be a disciple of the Zhenhai Grand Master.

Didn't you see that the patrol envoy has been sizing up Li Wushou ever since he entered?
Moreover, although the founder of the Kongzi lineage hid it very well, the Dragon King still saw a hint of anger on the patrol envoy's face the moment he spoke.

Good boy, such a good boy!
If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, the Dragon King would have burst out laughing.

His mood steadily improved after meeting Li Wushou.

Just now, after Li Wushou unleashed his blood energy, the Dragon King felt an even greater sense of closeness to him. What normal person could possess such blood energy? It's possible that the other party is just a dragon prince or grandson who looks like a human.

The people in the main hall were lost in their own thoughts and fell silent for a moment.

The patriarch of the Fuzi lineage broke the silence with a light cough.

He was preparing to summon the five surnames, seven clans, and twenty-four families to the floating palace to discuss the matter of raising the celestial gods.

Just then, the patrol envoy sitting on the left slowly got up and walked into the main hall.

Li Wushou sensed something and looked up at the other person, only to find that the other person was indeed staring at him, which amplified his doubts.

As he was pondering, the sea patrol envoy suddenly spoke:
"Li Wushou, your qi and blood are far stronger than ordinary people, but at this moment your bones and muscles are strong, but your flesh and blood are slightly weaker. Your flesh and blood cannot bear all your power, otherwise you should be stronger!"

Upon hearing this, even the founders of the two floating lineages and the Dragon King were somewhat taken aback, as this physical body was slightly inferior.
Li Wushou nodded in agreement. Although he had been refining his flesh and blood during this period, and his flesh and blood were no longer torn apart as easily as before, his flesh and blood had indeed not kept up with the pace of his bones.

However, upon further reflection, it seemed that the sea patrol envoy was extending goodwill.

The reason Li Wushou used the name of Zhenhai Dazun was because his own blood and qi were abundant and his abilities were quite similar to those of Zhenhai Dazun.

Could it be that after seeing his blood and qi surge forth, the other party was also unsure whether he was a disciple of the Great Venerable Zhenhai?
Although Li Wushou felt it was a bit far-fetched, it was good news for him, at least better than taking him down before, right?

Moreover, he no longer needs to worry about how to avoid being suspended in mid-air and eliminated after his identity as a disciple of the Great Venerable Zhenhai is exposed.

He ignored Chen Gou'er's shouts of disgust and chatted with the Dragon King all the way, constantly trying to persuade the Dragon King to protect him.

Now it seems like we don't need it anymore?
However, since this sea patrol envoy has shown goodwill, it wouldn't be right not to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits.

Composing himself, Li Wushou clasped his hands in a fist salute to the sea patrol envoy and said somewhat shamelessly:
"The sea patrol officer has amazing eyesight and saw my shortcomings at a glance. I beg the sea patrol officer to teach me the method of condensing flesh and blood."

Li Wushou's opportunistic attitude left the sea patrol officer speechless, thinking to himself that she really was just as she had said, possessing a roguish charm.

He shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "I can't teach you!"

These words, upon being uttered, sounded like a threat to the two patriarchs of the Floating Void lineage: "I dare not teach a disciple of the Great Venerable!" Their conviction that Li Wushou was a disciple of the Great Venerable Zhenhai was now even stronger!
Li Wushou was somewhat disappointed when he heard the sea patrol envoy speak again:

"Actually, with the nourishment of your bones and blood, your flesh and blood will catch up sooner or later. I can't teach you the method of condensing flesh and blood, but I do have a Blood Demon Devouring Marrow method that can help you quickly balance your bones and flesh."

Inside the Three Immortals Pavilion, Chen Gou'er jumped high and shouted at the old beggar:
"Old beggar, did you see that? It's like the kind of expert guidance that only protagonists in stories get!"

The old beggar picked at his ear and muttered under his breath, "Bullshit, it sounds like some crooked trick!"

Li Wushou didn't care about any of that. He had practiced many unorthodox methods, so one more wouldn't make a difference, as long as it was useful.

So he looked intently at the sea patrol envoy and earnestly said:
"Please, Coast Guard, teach me!"

The patrol envoy didn't back down. As if he knew Li Wushou's temperament, he pulled out a piece of parchment from his sleeve.

The parchment was reddish, shimmering with a bloody light; it was the membrane of some unknown substance.

Li Wushou reached out and took it; sure enough, there was a row of large golden characters on the top of the membrane: "Blood Demon Marrow Devouring Method".

A light sniff revealed that the characters seemed to be written with ink from the marrow of something, so it couldn't be human.

Before he could even read the contents carefully, the sea patrol envoy in front of him spoke again:
"Li Wushou, cultivate diligently. I look forward to your early departure from Huazhou."

Li Wushou put away the Blood Demon Devouring Marrow Technique, looked up at the Sea Patrol Envoy, and had a puzzled expression.

He asked for it directly because he was a disciple of the old beggar, but since the other party gave it to him so readily, Li Wushou was a little unsure.

Seeing this, the sea patrol officer smiled and said, "I also want to see how far the person she said was interesting can go in the future."

Having said that, he offered no further explanation, turned to the two patriarchs of the Floating Void lineage who had also risen from their seats, and said:
"This matter of raising the Heavenly Gods is not only related to Huazhou, but also of great concern to the Great Venerable. How the position of Heavenly God is contested is none of the Great Venerable's business, nor will we interfere, but there is only one thing: do not delay the Great Venerable's affairs! At the end of the year, the twelve Heavenly Gods of the Outer Sea will gather in Zhenhai City. If Xuankong Mountain is absent, do not blame us for being ruthless."

The voice was as crisp and clear as ever, but Li Wushou sensed a murderous aura within it.

The Great Lord of Zhenhai reigns supreme over the region, and his twelve Sea Patrol Envoys are equally renowned, each rumored to have emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

When Li Wushou first met him, he thought the rumors were wrong, but now that he saw him, he knew the rumors were true.

The patriarchs of the two floating lineages dared not be negligent and hurriedly bowed in agreement.

"I will obey the Great Lord's decree!"

Upon hearing this, the Sea Patrol Envoy nodded slowly, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the two ancestral masters of the floating sects, and said:
"Thank you for your hospitality at the Hanging Mountain these past few days. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer."

The two patriarchs of the floating sects were taken aback. They were leaving already? Didn't they say they were going to tour along the Hengyang River?

The sea patrol envoy turned around, nodded to Li Wushou, and said, "Until we meet again!"

Then, the figure disappeared into the floating palace like mist. Li Wushou's expression froze; he hadn't even seen how the other person left.

The two patriarchs of the floating sects looked at Li Wushou thoughtfully.

The so-called river tour is probably just a prelude to Li Wushou, isn't it?
