Chapter 133: Chapter 16 Identity, Status, and Treatment_2
Of course, the ‘time’ mentioned here refers to the Main World’s time.
However, the Chikun Star Lord definitely wouldn’t believe it and subconsciously thought that Lin Yuan had been cultivating for over a decade.
It was just that it hadn’t been known to others, that’s all.
“Since you are my disciple, you are of the Red Kun Lineage, the thirteenth Peak Master.”
The Chikun Star Lord looked towards Lin Yuan and said, “I have no other demands of you except that unless your true body resides permanently on Chikun Main Star, do not reveal your identity as my disciple before reaching Sixth Rank.”
“Understood.”
Lin Yuan nodded.
The Chikun Star Lord hadn’t taken a disciple for tens of thousands of years.
Today, he suddenly took one.
What would others think? What would the Different Species think?
With the Chikun Star Lord’s means of nurturing disciples, this disciple had great hopes of breaking through to the Sixth Rank.
If so, why not snuff out this disciple when they are still weak?
The identity of a disciple of the Chikun Star Lord, in the eyes of the Different Species, probably ranks no less than that of the founder of a certain Sixth Rank Evolution Path.
They would be willing to pay a huge price to eliminate him.
“Of course, your identity is best kept secret, but as for other matters, the privileges and status that come with being the thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage will naturally not be lacking.”
“In this regard, I will have Gu Ze explain the details to you,” said the Chikun Star Lord.
Following that.
The Chikun Star Lord instructed Lin Yuan on a few more things.
Then, he waved his hand and handed over Lin Yuan to ‘Gu Ze,’ the third elder.
…
“Little Junior Brother…”
Inside a manor, Gu Ze looked at Lin Yuan with a smiling face.
“Third Senior Brother.”
Lin Yuan’s expression was solemn.
Among the Chikun Star Lord’s twelve disciples, three had surpassed the Sixth Rank.
This Third Senior Brother was one of them.
“This is the Virtual World of our Red Kun Lineage.”
The Third Senior Brother, Gu Ze, got up and brought Lin Yuan to the front of a vast continent.
This continent was a hundred times larger than Canglan Star, with a massive peak rising in the center.
Around this central peak, there stood thirteen slightly smaller peaks.
“That over there will be your residence, Little Junior Brother.”
The Third Senior Brother, Gu Ze, came to one of the thirteen peaks.
Seen from a distance, this peak indeed did not look large, especially when compared to the central peak’s grandeur, but as Lin Yuan approached, he discovered that the size of this peak was nearly half that of Canglan Star.
“As a Peak Master, you have the highest authority over this mountain.”
“You may recruit disciples and servants, of course, this is the Virtual World, so it’s not of much significance.”
“When you come to Chikun Main Star one day, I will introduce everything in detail to you,” said the Third Senior Brother, Gu Ze, as he brought Lin Yuan to the summit of this mountain and continued:
“Moreover, as the disciple of the teacher, you may peruse any Evolution Path recorded by the Red Kun Lineage.”
“Any Evolution Path?” Lin Yuan was inwardly stirred.
A virtual screen appeared in front of him, flashing through numerous Evolution Paths.
“So many?”
Lin Yuan was slightly excited inside.
Although he had gained a lot at the Seventh Star Cave, all the Evolution Paths added together amounted to just over a hundred.
But now, the Evolution Paths recorded by the Red Kun Lineage numbered at least a thousand, including not a few surpassing the Sixth Rank.
“The Xuan Huang Evolutionary Path is not among them.”
Lin Yuan glanced through them and did not find the Xuan Huang Evolutionary Path.
“Also, every time you break through, you may apply for ‘Scarlet Spirit Liquid,’” said the Third Senior Brother, Gu Ze, with a smile.
“Scarlet Spirit Liquid?” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Lin Yuan was puzzled.
“The Scarlet Spirit Liquid is a unique resource of our Red Kun Lineage, not to be found outside,” explained the Third Senior Brother, Gu Ze, with a smile.
“The use of Scarlet Spirit Liquid is to transform into the purest energy, replenishing oneself.”
“If you, Junior Brother, are to break through from the Fourth Rank tenth level to the eleventh level, there is no need to slowly absorb external energy to transform yourself. Just one drop of Scarlet Spirit Liquid is sufficient,” the Third Senior Brother, Gu Ze, explained.
“I see.”
Lin Yuan understood.
This meant that, as a disciple of the Chikun Star Lord, Lin Yuan did not need to spend extra time on the most basic accumulation of energy.
As long as his realm was prepared, he could break through without any restrictions.
This was of significant meaning for Lin Yuan.
Every time he shuttled back, Lin Yuan had to spend a large amount of money to buy rare treasures and spiritual objects from the universe to restore his full strength.
Now, this would no longer be an issue; he could simply apply for the Scarlet Spirit Liquid.
“Since you are still weak right now, Junior Brother, the teacher has specially selected a Guard Troops for you along with three life-saving tokens.”
Third Senior Brother Gu Ze paused, then continued to explain.
The so-called Guard Troops are the personal forces of a Red Kun Lineage’s Peak Master, led by a Sixth Rank Evolver as the captain, with more than ten Fifth Rank Evolvers as members.
They are the close-range defense forces that protect the Peak Master.
This Guard Troop is absolutely loyal, handpicked by the Chikun Star Lord himself, and harbors no thoughts of rebellion.
As for the three life-saving tokens, they are unique to Lin Yuan; the other twelve senior brothers never had such treatment.
The three life-saving tokens were personally refined by the Chikun Star Lord, and they would activate on their own once Lin Yuan encountered danger that he could not resist.
…
Canglan Star.
Central Continent Manor.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
“This is too exaggerated.”
Lin Yuan’s expression was one of astonishment.
Through Third Senior Brother Gu Ze’s introduction,
Lin Yuan had roughly understood the treatment afforded to a disciple of the Chikun Star Lord.
It mainly divided into five aspects.
One: Status.
As one of the thirteen Peak Masters, Lin Yuan’s status within the Red Kun Lineage was second only to the Star Lord.
Equal to the other twelve Peak Masters, he could mobilize the Evolver army of the Red Kun Lineage, provided that he met the conditions.
Two: He could browse through the many Evolution Paths collected by the Red Kun Lineage.
This was the most important thing for Lin Yuan, as with the collection of the Red Kun Lineage, he wouldn’t lack Evolution Paths for comprehension before reaching the Sixth Rank.
Three: He could apply for ‘Scarlet Spirit Liquid’.
It saved Lin Yuan a considerable amount of wealth.
Four: He owned a Guard Troop led by a Sixth Rank Evolver.
Five: Three life-saving tokens…
…
“I’ve made a huge profit, a huge profit indeed.”
Lin Yuan felt joy in his heart.
No wonder the Goddess of Wisdom had advised him to give his all in the contest on the arena.
The reward indeed far exceeded the effort.
What Lin Yuan didn’t know was,
the Goddess of Wisdom had not predicted that he would become the Chikun Star Lord’s disciple.
If he was merely the disciple of a Peak Master, the treatment and status would naturally be greatly reduced.
“The Guard Troop should have already set out by now, from the Chikun Main Star to Canglan Star; even through wormhole shuttle, it would take at least a month or two.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Since the Guard Troop was to protect Lin Yuan, naturally they would be wherever Lin Yuan was.
“Becoming the disciple of a Star Lord, as long as I don’t say anything, the Star Lord doesn’t say anything, the few senior brothers don’t say anything, and the three goddesses don’t say anything, then no one will know.”
Lin Yuan changed his appearance and physique before participating in the Seven Star Cave trial.
Even Fang Qing did not recognize him.
…
A few days later.
Fang Qing came looking for him, excited.
“Brother Lin, I have been accepted into the Red Kun Lineage.”
Fang Qing’s tone was exhilarated as he shared the good news with Lin Yuan.
Shortly after Lin Yuan left the Seventh Star Cave, Fang Qing had successfully comprehended the Evolution Path within the stone statue and passed the test.
In fact, every session of the Seven Star Cave trial would have quite a few Silver Pattern Challengers passing.
Of course, compared to the huge number of over a million Silver Pattern Challengers, the probability of finally passing the challenge was naturally extremely low.
Although Fang Qing was a Silver Pattern Challenger, as a Successor of a fallen Sixth Rank power,
He was very close to the standard of Gold Pattern in many aspects, at least stronger than the vast majority of Silver Patterns.
Plus, he had an intelligent life-form devising strategies for him in the background, so passing the Seven Star Cave trial was not an inconceivable feat.
“Congratulations,” Lin Yuan nodded and said.
“In a few days, the Seven Star Cave trial will end.”
“By then, I will meet with the various Peak Masters of the Red Kun Lineage along with the other Evolvers who have passed the test. Just to be accepted as a disciple by one of the Peak Masters…”
Fang Qing couldn’t help but fantasize.
The Peak Masters of the Red Kun Lineage all had combat powers far surpassing those of the same rank; not to mention that three of them were even beyond the Sixth Rank.
Even when his teacher was alive, he wasn’t nearly as powerful as the Peak Masters of the Red Kun Lineage.
“Various Peak Masters?”
Lin Yuan fell into a brief contemplation.
He now should also count as one of the Peak Masters of the Red Kun Lineage, right?
Thinking this, Lin Yuan’s gaze towards Fang Qing became somewhat peculiar.
Fang Qing, in his wildest dreams, could not imagine that the Red Kun Peak Master he looked up to with reverence—
Was far in the sky, but also close at hand.
