I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Holy Palace.

Chang Junhou could not sit still.

Just received the news from his disciple Lu Yan that Ji Yang had been in the Spiritual Transformation Pool for two months and had not yet completed the first step.

This boy is extremely talented.

Yes, before this letter, Chang Junhou only knew that it was a cultivator from a small world, and this time he remembered the name of the cultivator from this small world: Ji Yang.

"Let alone five months, being able to stay in the Spiritual Transformation Pool for four months is also a rare genius. I have to go there in person."

Chang Junhou was afraid that something would happen. Once the news leaked out, the other elders would definitely not be able to sit still.

He decided to go to the Spiritual Transformation Palace in person and accept Ji Yang as his disciple, but before that, he had to go to the treasury to extract some spiritual liquid for preparation.

……

The Holy Palace Treasury, in a valley, the valley was plain and ordinary. Chang Junhou appeared at the entrance of the valley, forming seals with his hands, and the valley had energy fluctuations. The next moment, a hexagram array appeared in front of him.

When Chang Junhou stepped into the star array, an old man appeared in front of him.

"Brother Qi."

"Brother Chang, is there anything you need to do in the treasury?"

"I came to the treasury this time to extract some spiritual liquid."

Hearing Chang Junhou's words, the old man was a little confused: "Spiritual liquid is only useful for cultivators from small worlds. What does Brother Chang want spiritual liquid for?"

Hearing this question, Chang Junhou smiled and said: "To be honest, I have a good relationship with Fellow Daoist Xu from Qianyun Villa. I once owed him a favor. This time he wrote to me and asked me to borrow some spiritual liquid."

"Xu Huanshan?"

The old man obviously knew Xu Huanshan from Qianyun Villa, and he knew that Brother Chang and Fellow Daoist Xu had been wandering in the Cangtian Realm together, and they got a chance in a secret realm and both entered the Dongxu Realm.

"There is also spiritual liquid in Qianyun Villa. Why did Fellow Daoist Xu borrow this spiritual liquid from me? Have you ever thought about the reason?"

"I do have a guess in my mind, but I don't know if it's the same as yours."

Chang Junhou and the old man looked at each other, and they almost spoke at the same time: "The disciple of the small world."

"Haha, senior brother is really amazing. I thought about it for a cup of tea before I guessed it. I didn't expect that you would think of the truth as soon as you heard it."

The old man smiled and shook his head when he heard Chang Junhou's praise: "Junior brother, you don't have to flatter me. You can know such things with just a guess. Fellow Daoist Xu didn't go to Qianyun Villa to extract the spiritual liquid. I think he was afraid that the news would leak out and let other elders of Qianyun Villa compete for the genius from this small world."

"That's right, my idea coincides with that of my senior brother. It seems that Qianyun Villa is lucky this time." Chang Junhou also sighed.

"Since Junior Brother Chang has promised that Taoist Xu, you can take it yourself."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

...

...

A quarter of an hour later, Lord Chang left the treasure house, but did not return to the palace. Instead, he went directly outside the mansion, towards the Hualing Hall.

"Master!"

When Lin Nan and Lu Yan saw their two masters in the Hualing Hall, they were shocked. They did not expect that the master would come in person. For a moment, they were a little envious of Ji Yang.

"Master, it has been two months and five days."

"Yes."

Lord Chang looked at Chu Ning standing in the pool with admiration in his eyes. This boy was not only gifted, but also had strong blood and qi. He was really a beautiful jade.

He had decided to accept this disciple!

...

In the Hualing Pool, Chu Ning fell into a state of emptiness and clarity, and only his body was left to absorb the spiritual liquid instinctively, and then wash away the original spiritual energy in his body bit by bit.

He did not know that two months had passed, and he did not know that the spiritual liquid alone had been changed into five pools.

Three days later

The spiritual liquid around Chu Ning began to ripple, hitting the edge of the pool like a wave, and his body began to reject the inflow of spiritual liquid.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yan and Lin Nan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately...

Fortunately, the first step was finally completed, two months and eight days.

The time for washing and absorption is almost the same. Ji Yang will probably stay in the Hualing Pool for more than four months this time. He can't break the historical record, which makes them feel relieved.

It's not jealousy, but just a subconscious sigh of relief. After all, they can accept that Ji Yang is a genius, but if he breaks the historical record, it will be too terrifying.

Chang Junhou naturally caught the slight emotional changes of the two disciples, but his expression did not change. How long he can stay in this Hualing Pool will soon be known.

A few months is nothing to a cave master.

Two and a half months...

Three months...

Four months...

Four and a half months...

Lu Yan and Lin Nan can no longer sit still, and walk around in this hall almost every day.

Ji Yang had stayed in the Soul Transformation Pond for longer than they expected.

Even Lord Chang did not sit on the throne in the main hall anymore, but stood on the steps of the main hall, staring at the Soul Transformation Pond.

"There are records of people who can persist for five months in the Cangtian Realm. These twenty people have all broken through to the Void Realm without any surprise. There are two hundred people who can persist for four months, and only one hundred people who can persist for four and a half months."

During this period, Lin Nan also looked up the records about the Soul Transformation Pond in detail.

The Soul Transformation Pond has existed for more than 100,000 years. There are countless cultivators from small worlds who have entered the Soul Transformation Pond. It is extremely terrifying to be ranked in the top 100.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Ji Yang worships his master as his teacher and has the resources provided by his master, he will have half a foot in the cave realm.

As for the remaining half of the foot, it depends on Ji Yang's own efforts.

…

…

Holy palace, treasure house.

The old man walked out of the treasure house. As the guardian elder of the Holy Palace treasure house, he did not need to stay in the treasure house all the time.

In the entire Cangtian Realm, not many people can break into the Holy Palace, let alone the treasure house. The fact that he is in charge of the treasure house has more of a symbolic meaning.

The old man walked out of the treasure house and headed towards a mountain peak.

"Junior Brother Chang."

"Third Elder, Master is not in the hall. Do you have anything to do with Master?"

The old man appeared outside the main hall of the mountain peak, and a young man came over quickly. The old man was stunned when he heard this. Junior Brother Chang is not out in the Holy Mansion?

He came to see Junior Brother Chang just on a whim. Thinking of the last time Junior Brother Chang came to the treasure house to ask for spiritual fluid, he wanted to ask what kind of disciple Xu Daoist of Qianyun Villa had accepted. Unexpectedly, Junior Brother Chang was not there.

"Since your master is not there, forget it."

The old man waved his hand and was about to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Did your master tell me where to go?"

"Master didn't say anything."

The young man shook his head. The master did not tell him where he was going when he left.

"If Third Elder is in an emergency, I think you can contact Junior Brother Lin. Junior Brother Lin should know where Master is."

The young man looked at the old man with a flattering look in his eyes.

You must know that the third elder is in charge of the treasure house. Their disciples can accumulate merit and go to the treasure house to select treasures after completing the tasks assigned by the sect.

If the third elder can give them some guidance, they can select the most valuable treasure.

"Before Master left, he received several letters from Junior Brother Lin. Junior Brother Lin is currently on duty at Hualing Hall."

When Junior Brother Lin's letter arrived at the sect, he took over it and gave it to Master, but he didn't read the content in the letter.

"What did you say?"

The old man's eyes narrowed: "You said that your junior brother was on duty at Hualing Hall and sent a letter to your master. When did he send it?"

"Just... not long ago."

The young man felt that his breathing became faster when the old man looked at him like this, and he did not dare to lie. The most important thing was that he felt that there was no need to lie.

silence.

The old man was silent for a few breaths, and then he suddenly laughed, but when the smile fell on the young man's ears, he was a little panicked.

The third elder seemed to be laughing out of anger.

The old man ignored the young man and disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he had already returned to the treasure house.

"Well, you, Junior Brother Chang, told me that fellow Taoist Xu from Qianyun Villa discovered the good seedling. This obviously means you discovered the good seedling yourself."

Who the old man is can be deduced from the young man's few words.

He had been fooled by Junior Brother Chang.

The genius from this small world did not appear in Qianyun Villa, but in his own Hualing Palace.

The old man snorted softly, and the next moment he appeared on another mountain peak and another palace.

"Senior Brother Qi is a rare visitor."

In the main hall, a middle-aged man came out to greet him with a smile, Qi Bianlu said: "Junior Brother Hong, I am here to complain to you."

"Complain to me?" Hong Rongduan was a little confused. What should he complain to?

"Junior Brother Chang can even lie to a dying old man like me."

Qi Bianlu briefly told what happened. Hong Rongduan and Chang Junhou were taught by the same master, so he found Hong Rongduan to complain about it.

"Senior Brother Qi, is there any misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding is there? Isn't it obvious? I am already on my deathbed. Even if he is a genius again, I will not accept him as a disciple."

Qi Bianlu sighed. He was already in his old age and had no time to teach his disciples.

"Senior Brother Qi, don't worry. When Junior Brother Chang comes back, I will take him to apologize to Senior Brother Qi. As for this matter, please keep it secret for the time being."

"I'm not the kind of person who talks a lot, so I just want to tell you. Don't worry."

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Qi."

After sending Qi Bianlu away, Hong Rongduan had a thoughtful look in his eyes. A quarter of an hour later, his figure turned into a rainbow and headed outside the house.

In another elder's palace, Qi Bianlu complained while narrating: "Junior Brother Chen, do you think Junior Brother Chang is the best?"

"Senior Brother Qi, are you sure there is no mistake?" the middle-aged man asked again.

"Can't be wrong."

The middle-aged man was silent for a while and asked: "Senior Brother Qi, this matter involves Junior Brother Chang's face. It's better not to make it public until Junior Brother Qi comes back."

"Don't worry, I'm not a big talker."

…

…

Qi Bianlu visited each of the seven palaces and told them again and again.

"How many people did Senior Brother Qi inform about this matter?"

"Haha, I'm not a big talker, so I just told you. Don't spread the word."

"That's good. This matter concerns Junior Brother Chang's face. We should wait until Junior Brother Chang comes back before communicating."

…

…

Returning to the treasure house, Qi Bianlu suddenly whispered: "Why are the attitudes of these junior brothers so weird?"

Thinking of this, Qi Bianlu sent a message to his smartest disciple.

"Master."

"Come on, let me analyze it with my teacher. Is there anything fishy in this?"

After listening to his master's story, Zhang Jian pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, saying: "Master, since Elder Chang is afraid that other elders will know about this, then with the relationship between Elder Chang and Elder Xu, he can borrow the spiritual liquid from Elder Xu, wouldn't it be more confidential?"

"That makes sense, then you say Junior Brother Chang..."

Swish!

Qi Bianlu's eyes suddenly widened, and his figure disappeared on the spot, and reappeared on the spot after a few breaths.

"Master, how is it?"

"These guys are not in the palace anymore."

Qi Bianlu didn't understand, what about saving Junior Brother Chang's face and not making it public? It's obvious that these guys have figured out the joints and don't want more people to know. As for themselves, I'm afraid they are now on their way to the Spiritual Transformation Hall.

"Disciple, keep an eye on this treasure house for me. I am also going to the Spiritual Transformation Hall."

Zhang Jian was stunned when he heard what his master said: "Master, you are not going to accept disciples, right?"

"I am not going to accept disciples. I am going to question these guys face to face why they dare to bully me."

Hearing his master's explanation, Zhang Jian curled his lips. Well, whatever the master says is what it is.
