Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit Chapter 60 – Inner Disciple

By now, Lu Ping had stayed in the cultivation room for two months. After that, he took another two months to consolidate his foundation in the Blood Condensation Realm before he finally left.

Lu Ping could have made use of the spirit vein here and continued to cultivate for the remaining months. Unfortunately, he had yet to learn a cultivation method for the Blood Condensation Realm.

The [Blood Condensation Spirit Melting Scripture] was an excellent cultivation method for the Blood Refining Realm, but it wasn’t suitable for the Blood Condensation Realm. This could be seen from his cultivation during the past two months; he only managed to consolidate his foundation and barely made any progress. Hence, he could only leave the cultivation room early.

The Master Immortal in charge of the cultivation rooms brought him to the residence of the dean of Zhen Ling Side Hall, Enlightened Master Xuan-Yong.

Lu Ping didn’t know if every successful disciple would be brought to see Enlightened Master Xuan-Yong, but this was his first time meeting a Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master on his own. Although he had seen them before, they had all been a fair distance away and he couldn’t see them clearly.

Enlightened Master Xuan-Yong still donned a kind and warm expression. He watched quietly as Lu Ping greeted him, his eyes brightening up as he said happily, “Haha, isn’t this the head of our side hall’s famous “Seven Brutes”? You’re certainly extraordinary! Not bad!”

Seeing that Enlightened Master Xuan-Yong was approachable, Lu Ping’s anxiety from meeting an Enlightened Master settled down. When he heard the praise, he also smiled and replied, “Enlightened Master, please don’t make fun of me. I’m a stubborn one. It’s all thanks to Master Immortal Liu’s guidance and the other senior disciples which has helped me greatly.”

Enlightened Master Xuan-Yong looked closely at Lu Ping. Unlike the other disciples who were nervous when meeting him, Lu Ping was calm and clear-headed. He was satisfied and said, “Liu Zi-Yuan has led the group well. Group 7’s progress is quite remarkable. In these two years, three disciples have successfully made it into the Blood Condensation Realm. I hear there is also a girl in your group, Shi Lingling. She too looks promising.”

Lu Ping replied, “That is true. Senior Martial Sister Shi Lingling is talented and has helped me a lot.”

Enlightened Master Xuan-Yong didn’t elaborate much on the topic. “Since you’re a Blood Condensation Realm cultivator now, you’ve naturally earned the status of an inner disciple. But remember not to be complacent—the Blood Condensation Realm is just the beginning of your real cultivation.”

After that, Enlightened Master Xuan-Yong told Lu Ping some anecdotes about the cultivation world. Most of the time, it was him talking and Lu Ping listening carefully. Enlightened Master Xuan-Yong would pause between stories to ask Lu Ping some cultivation questions, and Lu Ping would give his opinion after some thought.
