After entering the store, Lu Xuanji imdiately released a trace of Nascent Soul aura, announcing his arrival.
He had no intention of being pretentious, of playing the pig to eat the tiger, and directly released a trace of terrifying aura to show his identity.
Most cultivators’ cultivation was too weak to perceive anything, but that Golden Core Cultivator sensed it all and quickly appeared, respectfully saying, "Senior, what brings you to our White Fish Island?"
"I need the nearby sea map and information related to White Whale Island!" Lu Xuanji said, "Na a price!"
"Please wait a mont, senior."
The Golden Core Cultivator spoke and then disappeared.
A mont later, he brought a sea map and a jade scroll containing the information.
"Senior, it only costs a thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones!"
The Golden Core Cultivator said.
"I’ll give you two thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones!" Lu Xuanji said, handing over two thousand Spirit Stones.
"Thank you, senior!"
The Golden Core Cultivator imdiately expressed his gratitude.
"Farewell!"
Lu Xuanji left the store.
The young man also watched this scene dumbfounded, and followed suit, leaving the store.
That Golden Core Cultivator was one of the ancestors of the Zhao Family, yet he respectfully treated this senior. This senior might be a Golden Core True Master, or even more powerful.
Walking to the city gate, Lu Xuanji said, "Young man, you should leave! I’m going now!"
"Senior, are you a Golden Core True Master?"
The young man asked.
"No, I am a Nascent Soul Cultivator!" Lu Xuanji replied.
"Senior, would you be willing to take as a disciple?" the young man asked, but regretted it as soon as he did, because he had average talent, rely Four Spirit Roots; his comprehension was also average, just an ordinary person; and as for his constitution, it was also mortal, without any special qualities.
Inside and out, he was an ordinary person.
What qualification did he have to beco a Nascent Soul True Monarch’s disciple?
Lu Xuanji said, "I’m headed to distant lands, I don’t have ti, and besides, your aptitude is average..."
The intention to refuse was already very clear.
There are certain standards for accepting disciples.
A disciple’s talent must be good; if not Celestial Spirit Root, at least Dual Spirit Root, or an Anomalous Spirit Root, or have a special constitution. This way, the cost of nurturing is low, and the growth rate is fast, more efficient than nurturing so trash.
Of course, if soone has outstanding comprehension, comparable to the understanding of [Great Emperor Ruthless], even if their aptitude is a bit poor, even if they are trash, they will still be accepted as a disciple.
But the person in front of him had average talent, average comprehension, not suitable to be his disciple.
"Senior, I have a treasure map to offer you... hoping you will accept as your disciple!"
The young man knelt on the ground, took out a treasure map from a storage bag, and handed it over.
The treasure map seed to be made of so kind of beast hide, engraved with patterns and ancient writings that resembled ghost symbols.
Lu Xuanji casually took the treasure map, looking indifferent.
But as his Divine Thought swept over it, a hint of astonishnt flashed across his face.
Taking a closer look, the astonishnt increased.
After examining it three tis, Lu Xuanji put away the treasure map and said, "Let’s go!"
"Yes!"
The young man stood up.
The two left the city, and a flying ship appeared beneath Lu Xuanji’s feet, carrying the two away.
In an instant, the two appeared above the sea, the blue ocean glittering, the water rippling, seabirds flying in the sky, fish swimming in the distance, and a breeze blowing, making their hair flutter.
Lu Xuanji asked, "Where did that treasure map co from?"
The young man replied with a bitter smile, "My ancestors were prosperous once. This treasure map was left by the forebears."
"Why give it to !"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"Senior, your character seems decent. I could exchange it for sothing if I handed it to you, but with others, they might not be as trustworthy as you!" the young man said, having guessed so things about the senior’s character in just a short mont.
This senior had good character.
That’s why he boldly offered the treasure map.
Had it been a cultivator of poor character, he wouldn’t have dared.
"Alright, you shall be my disciple!"
Lu Xuanji said, "Your aptitude is sowhat lacking; you need to find a way to improve your aptitude... otherwise, your cultivation will be slow."
"Senior..."
The young man was shocked.
"Kneel and acknowledge your master!" Lu Xuanji said.
"Disciple, Li Qingwei, greets Master!"
The young man knelt on the deck, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Disciple, my na is Lu Xuanji... I co from the Eastern Wilderness of the Yuan Continent. I won’t be staying here long; soon, I will return to the Eastern Wilderness!" Lu Xuanji spoke, casually revealing so crucial information.
Li Qingwei, with average aptitude, average comprehension, ordinary opportunities, was essentially a commoner.
By logic, he shouldn’t qualify to be his disciple.
But the value of that treasure map was too high, worth making an exception.
After so advice, Lu Xuanji took out a Fifth Grade Creation Pill and handed it over.
Li Qingwei consud it on the spot, and his body imdiately felt as if it were on fire, sweating all over, like a stead shrimp, indescribably uncomfortable and painfully so.
At this mont, it was as if being cut by a thousand knives, the entire body in extre pain.
Ah ah ah!
He couldn’t help but cry out.
"Disciple, you must endure!" Lu Xuanji said, "Disciple, your aptitude is average, just Four Spirit Roots, with little hope for Foundation Establishnt, and limited future prospects. To change this, improving your aptitude is crucial. The elixir just now was a Fifth Grade Creation Pill!"
"Taking the Fifth Grade Creation Pill can wash marrow and shave hair, enhancing a cultivator’s aptitude, allowing your cultivation aptitude to continuously improve, comparable to a Dual Spirit Root cultivator, with a hopeful future in the Golden Core!"
"Disciple, you must endure!"
"Disciple understands!"
After shouting a few more tis, Li Qingwei stopped calling out.
He didn’t want this teacher to look down on him.
With average aptitude, average comprehension, average destiny, many things were average, blending into the masses.
To achieve anything, he must have unwavering determination.
If he couldn’t endure even this imdiate pointed pain, how could he gain his teacher’s favor, how could he defy destiny?
Watching this disciple, struggling in pain yet forcibly enduring without making a sound.
Lu Xuanji was quite satisfied.
At least he had so willpower, even if he’s a piece of deadwood, he might still be sculpted.
After a quarter of an hour, Li Qingwei stood up, the pain on his body largely subsided.
"Thank you, Master!"
Li Qingwei said, his body sowhat weak.
But his eyes revealed a sense of joy.
Activating his cultivation technique just now, Spiritual Qi rolled in imdiately, absorbing Spiritual Qi at more than triple the speed.
He was still Four Spirit Roots, but after taking the Fifth Grade Creation Pill, his constitution had significantly improved.
"You rest for a while, I’ll sort out a cultivation technique for you!" Lu Xuanji said.
"Yes!"
With that, Li Qingwei went into the cabin to rest.
...
Lu Xuanji also went into the cabin, opening the treasure map to examine it closely.
This treasure map was highly valuable.
Touching the beast’s hide, it seed unremarkable, but upon examination, it was incredibly resilient, made from the hide of a High-Level fierce beast, at least an Harmonization Demon Beast’s hide.
On it was a map, marking the location of a treasure vault.
The map contained ancient writings, at least a million years old.
Fortunately, he could recognize them.
After a bit of appraisal, he confird the treasure map was genuine.
