Chapter 45: How About Letting Old Lu Give It a Try?
Chapter 45: How About Letting Old Lu Give It a Try?
"Alright, stop teasing Lingyu. This kid is too honest and can't handle your jokes. Lingyu, go outside and take your Uncle Tian with you. I need to have a private discussion with Lu Ke."
The Grand Master waved for Zhang Lingyu to leave, not wanting him and Tian Jinzhong to overhear the upcoming conversation.
"Disciple understands."
Zhang Lingyu bowed and pushed Tian Jinzhong's wheelchair out of the room.
The Grand Master pulled out a small booklet from his robe and placed it on the table. "This is the first half of the Five Thunder True Method, specifically the Yin Five Thunder technique."
"Half of half, a quarter. Are you trying to get me to collect all four pieces of the Five Thunder True Method?" Lu Ke complained, reaching for the booklet but stopping halfway.
The booklet was protected by a golden light that, though not blinding, was solid and tangible. The source of the light was undoubtedly the Grand Master, who was now squinting his eyes.
"Grand Master, what's the meaning of this?"
Lu Ke looked like he had been wronged. "If you don't want to teach me the Thunder Technique, just say so. Why toy with your disciple?"
"The deal is on the table, and you need to hear what I need you to do," the Grand Master said with a laugh, calling him a "sly little one."
"Ah, you called me here just to help Zhang Lingyu, right?" Lu Ke feigned surprise. "I've been working so hard to guide him. Isn't that enough?"
"Helping Lingyu was just a side task. The real issue is with Zhang Chulian." The Grand Master's expression turned serious. "You can't miss it; this Grand Heaven Sacrifice is a setup for him."
With one of the Eight Great Techniques, Qi Body Source Flow, if Zhang Chulian wasn't part of the Celestial Master's Mansion, the Grand Master wouldn't be able to protect him. And without a status to match the weight of the technique, he would face many troubles, like Wang Ye.
There were deeper reasons, such as the Celestial Master's Degree.
This complex and cumbersome system trapped the Grand Master, preventing him from revealing the truth freely.
It was almost like a spoiler alert.
"Is it for Zhang Chulian?" Lu Ke feigned ignorance, putting on a dejected face. "I thought Grand Master was just being kind and wanted to give me a stage to prove myself."
The Grand Master tossed him a coin. "Alright, sly one. No more beating around the bush. Help Chulian eliminate a few strong opponents in the competition, and I'll give you the Five Thunder True Method."
"I want the complete version!"
The complete version can only be learned by a Celestial Master!
The Grand Master tossed him another coin, frowning and glaring. "I held back from scolding you just now. What do you think the Five Thunder True Method is? Jokes aside, this isn't something to be taught lightly."
Come on, you’re not the type to care about this.
Teaching the complete Five Thunder True Method to someone other than a Celestial Master is serious, but compared to the Grand Master's future mission to cleanse the land, it's nothing.
You just want to raise the price!
"Grand Master, if you have any other conditions, just say them. I'm really in a hurry!" Lu Ke rolled his eyes.
Hearing his insolent words, the Grand Master was genuinely a bit angry.
Is the Five Thunder True Method so cheap that it can't compare to spending a night with a woman? How many Celestial Masters remained chaste even after mastering the Yang Five Thunder?
"Learning the first half of the Thunder Technique makes you a high-ranking adept in the Celestial Master's Mansion. If you learn the complete version, you'll be a hidden Celestial Master. When Longhu Mountain faces trouble in the future, I hope you'll lend a hand."
"Of course, I grew up here. Even without your request, I would take care of it," Lu Ke nodded in agreement.
"Alright." The Grand Master smiled. "There's just one more thing. Can you really help me with this?"
"You don't trust me?"
Lu Ke raised an eyebrow. With the Grand Master's keen eye, he shouldn't doubt him.
"Of course, I trust you…"
The old Celestial Master chuckled in response. When they first met, he had mentioned that Luk was somewhat inscrutable to him. With his cultivation and experience, there were very few extraordinary individuals in the world who could elude his understanding.
Even if he hadn't completely figured Luk out, he had a rough estimate of Luk's formidable body, the staggering amount of qi, and his cultivation level. The sheer magnitude of these attributes left even the old Celestial Master in awe.
This was precisely why the old Celestial Master had asked Luk for help. Compared to the other participants in the Great Heavenly Sacrifice, Luk's strength was on a whole different level.
"It's not that I don't trust you!" A voice rang out from the doorway. A slender, handsome old man in a crisp suit stood there, his expression cold and menacing.
"That's right, Old Luk wants to test you. What do you think about that?"
Luk was a bit hesitant. This man might be his great-grandfather someday, and hitting an elder seemed a bit excessive.
"Hmph, young one. The old Celestial Master says you're the strongest among the participants in the Great Heavenly Sacrifice. He trusts you, but I don't." Lu Jin glanced at Luk and snorted.
"At your age, how much skill could you possibly have? Let's exchange a few blows. If you can hold your ground, you pass."
"Um…" Luk looked at the old Celestial Master for guidance.
"This old man just doesn't like you and is looking for an excuse to beat you up." The old Celestial Master smiled and asked, "I know Old Luk's character. What did you do to offend him?"
"I didn't really do anything. I just posted some shirtless muscle photos online, and they happened to be seen by Old Lord Lu's great-granddaughter." Luk felt wronged; he hadn't even met Lu Linglong yet.
The old Celestial Master was momentarily speechless.
He had planned to take Luk as a true disciple after this matter was resolved, given that he had already mastered the Five Thunders True Technique. He hadn't expected Luk to have such a side business online!
"From now on, don't post those things online." The old Celestial Master sighed. "If you formally join the Celestial Master's Mansion, how will those photos be perceived?"
It would depend on his status.
Before, they were just the secular disciple Lu Jushi's lewd photos.
Once he formally joined, they would become Daoist Priest Lu's lewd photos.
As a high-ranking priest, they would be Master Lu's lewd photos.
If he became a Celestial Master someday…
They would be Celestial Master Lu's lewd photos!
Imagine it—the leader of the righteous path, the Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion, with lewd photos.
How exhilarating!
No girl could resist a photo of him in his Celestial Master's robes, showing off his chest, legs, and abs. The sense of forbidden excitement would be off the charts!
At that point, there would inevitably be a group of female followers trying to shake his dao heart!
"Disciple understands."
Luk nodded obediently, not daring to voice his thoughts in front of the old Celestial Master.
"Also, Old Luk is quite old. Be gentle and remember to stop when you've made your point." The old Celestial Master nodded and added another warning.
"Of course, of course."
Luk turned and walked toward Lu Jin, who was waiting outside, greeting him with a smile.
"Old Lord Lu, hello."
"Cut the small talk. Let this old man test you." Lu Jin was impatient, and suddenly a wave of qi surrounded him. His eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
His hair began to grow longer, and his skin became paler, making him look much younger. He no longer looked like an old man at the twilight of his life but rather someone who had transcended the mundane, ready to ascend to immortality.
Luk's eyes lit up. The rejuvenation effect of the Third Stage of Reversal was impressive. Just by channeling his power, he looked as if he had a filter and a lighting crew.
Third Stage of Reversal!
He wanted it!
Luk lifted the sleeve of his loose Daoist robe with his left hand and approached Lu Jin with a smile, step by step.
