Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Talent Improvement, Pure Yang Body (Weekend Extra)
“`
“Truly unexpected.”
The Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator could only roughly simulate the significant events a disciple would experience in their lifetime, with extremely brief descriptions. The specific details often turned out to be surprising.
This time, in the Immortal Ruins inheritance, there were two inheritors: one was Lu Changsheng’s disciple, Shen Xiaoyao, and the other was the mysterious Tang Ling’er.
The green-clothed woman carrying the Immortal Sword was merely Tang Ling’er’s guardian. It was hard to imagine the power of the sect where Tang Ling’er and the green-clothed woman came from.
But after a brief conversation with Lu Changsheng, the green-clothed woman fell silent and patiently waited for Tang Ling’er and Shen Xiaoyao to come out.
From his brief conversation with the green-clothed woman, Lu Changsheng could guess that the woman and Tang Ling’er had also come for the inheritance of the Star Tower.
Lu Changsheng and the green-clothed woman waited for three days before Shen Xiaoyao and Tang Ling’er finally came out of the Star Tower.
“Master! Big Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Sister, and…”
“This is your Junior Sister.”
“I have a Junior Sister now?”
Shen Xiaoyao, upon seeing Lu Changsheng and the others safe and sound outside the Star Tower, excitedly waved to them.
Seeing the stunningly beautiful girl with a white fox tail following beside Lu Changsheng, he was immediately stunned.
How did he get a Junior Sister just by entering the Star Tower for three days?
“Shen Xiaoyao, I didn’t expect someone of your mediocre talent to receive the Star Tower’s inheritance. It’s truly a surprise. Perhaps one day you could become a peerless hero. I’m looking forward to it. But I guess we shall not meet again. Goodbye.”
After receiving the inheritance of the Star Tower, Tang Ling’er bid farewell to Shen Xiaoyao, who had also obtained the inheritance, in a carefree manner.
“Aunt Zhu, let’s go back.”
“Mm.”
The green-clothed woman conjured a Flying Sword and departed with Tang Ling’er from the Immortal Ruins.
“Master, I owe them a favor and cannot repay it. What should I do?”
Shen Xiaoyao was somewhat at a loss and sought Lu Changsheng’s guidance.
This disciple, simple and honest in nature, was similar to Lin Qingzhi, who repaid kindness with kindness and grudges directly.
Owing a favor made him restless.
“Don’t worry, as your master, I have calculated that you will have an opportunity to return the favor. Before that happens, you need to cultivate diligently, so you have the capability to repay the kindness.”
Lu Changsheng, having simulated Shen Xiaoyao’s life for a hundred years, knew that if nothing unexpected occurred, Shen Xiaoyao would have another day to see Tang Ling’er.
“That’s good.”
Shen Xiaoyao always felt uneasy owing someone a favor.
Lu Changsheng, within the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, looked at Shen Xiaoyao’s disciple panel.

…
“`
Because Shen Xiaoyao had mediocre aptitude before and even with Lu Changsheng’s power-infusing initiation, Shen Xiaoyao was still at the Nascent Soul Realm when he turned 25.
And in the Star Tower, Shen Xiaoyao acquired the special physique, “Pure Yang Body”!
With this special physique, Shen Xiaoyao’s subsequent journey of cultivation would be smooth sailing, and he was estimated to enter the Dao Palace Realm in two years’ time.
Truly a Son of Fortune.
“We should leave this place. If my predictions are correct, after we have received the inheritance from the Immortal Ruins, the Immortal Ruins will soon expel us.”
Lu Changsheng knew that the Immortal Ruins formed a world of their own, and after they appeared, they would soon close off, isolating themselves from the world.
Thus, Lu Changsheng left the Immortal Ruins with his five disciples.
The cultivation level of his youngest disciple, Ji Xuan, was low, so Lu Changsheng activated the Taiqing Wuji Technique, enveloping Ji Xuan in a huge surge of True Qi to assist her in leaving the Immortal Ruins.
At the entrance of the Immortal Ruins, corpses were strewn everywhere; presumably, the woman in blue and Tang Ling’er had encountered Great Demons of Huang State when leaving the Immortal Ruins. The woman in blue made her move and exterminated these Great Demons.
“If the six great sects receive help from the sect behind Tang Ling’er, the Demon Lord will not be difficult to deal with, but the sect behind Tang Ling’er may not be willing to intervene in the catastrophe that is happening in this domain.”
Lu Changsheng took out an eighth-rank Shrinking Earth to Inches Talisman, fleeing thousands of miles with several of his disciples, concealing their tracks.
Lu Changsheng certainly did not want the Demon Lord and the four Great Demon Generals to discover their whereabouts.
The Fox Race girl Ji Xuan looked around at the completely changed environment, silent and reticent.
She had slept for too long in the Demon Suppression Tower, and the earth-shattering changes outside felt like a fleeting dream.
“Little junior sister, you needn’t feel dejected, just follow your elder sister, and I’ll take you to taste good food.”
Lu Qinglian, with her arm entwined with Ji Xuan’s, was warm and enthusiastic.
She planned to sway Ji Xuan to her side and then cause a stir with the fourth junior brother and the fifth junior sister. As for the eldest senior brother and the third junior sister, they were too dull.
“Okay.”
Ji Xuan’s spirits lifted slightly from Lu Qinglian’s influence.
At least after waking up, she wasn’t alone.
Lu Qinglian indeed fulfilled her promise, slaying a giant python and then barbecuing it, feasting heartily with Ji Xuan.
The Huang Tribe and the Demon Race were natural enemies, but the two got along surprisingly well.
In the Demon Race, where the weak are prey to the strong, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Race would also treat other Demon Races as nourishing delicacies.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng began to teach Ji Xuan new skills.
Lu Changsheng placed his palm on Ji Xuan’s Heavenly Spirit, channeling Spiritual Energy into the Zodiac Meridians, circulating it before finally consolidating it in the Dantian as Demon Power.
Sweat seeped from Ji Xuan’s incredibly beautiful face, as a stream of Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Energy was too immense for her, and uncontrollably, her white fox tail rubbed against Lu Changsheng’s face…
[Ding, you have transmitted 2 days of cultivation to your disciple “Ji Xuan,” Ji Xuan actually received 0.5 days of cultivation. You receive a thousandfold return reward for teaching the disciple: 500 days of cultivation.]
[Ding, number of power-infusing initiations for today -1.]
Ji Xuan, at the Qi Transformation Realm, could not bear too much of Lu Changsheng’s cultivation, but thankfully this time the return multiplier was a thousandfold. Lu Changsheng received more than a year’s worth of cultivation, which was quite satisfactory.
Ji Xuan sat in meditation and worked hard to refine the Spiritual Energy transferred by Lu Changsheng into her own Demon Power.
For safety’s sake, Lu Changsheng established a barrier around them, masking the Qi of the teacher and disciples.
But the ordinary demons trapped inside the barrier trembled uncontrollably when Ji Xuan’s Demon Power spread. It was as if they were suppressed by her bloodline, gathering around Ji Xuan, bowing their proud heads in submission to the future Demon God.
“Could it be that I will personally create a Demon God?”
Lu Changsheng thought of Ji Xuan’s Demon God Physique. If the Demon God Physique reached its Great Accomplishment, she might command all demons.
He hoped that this disciple would not fall into the Demonic Dao in the future; otherwise, it might be somewhat tricky for Lu Changsheng to deal with her.
“Let’s see if there’s a suitable Cultivation Technique for this disciple.”
Lu Changsheng had slaughtered many Great Demons in Huang State and obtained their cultivation techniques.
The Demon Race’s skills and the human’s Cultivation Techniques were not entirely the same; some techniques were interchangeable, while others were not.
