第三千零二十三章 陆盈儿的选择

Previously, Lu Ying'er had been the master of Bai Xuan Pavilion and provided Lin Xuan with much assistance. Although he owed her a life-saving debt, she had done so much for him that Lin Xuan was deeply grateful.

The Spirit Realm was vast, and Lin Xuan originally thought they would rarely meet again in this lifetime. Yet fate seemed to have other plans; after Ying'er's rebirth, they were destined to meet once more.

Lin Xuan was a man of deep gratitude and always treated others with tolerance and generosity. Since Ying'er was now her reincarnation, it was only right that he take her as his disciple, a small cultivator in the Flexible Spirit Period. This was indeed an opportunity at the level of defying fate.

However, each person has their own choices. If Ying'er preferred a peaceful life, Lin Xuan would not force anything upon her.

Now, Lin Xuan was waiting for her decision. Her sweet voice soon reached his ears.

"Senior, you have misunderstood. Since I chose the path of cultivation, how could I not want to go further? You, a great cultivator who has passed through tribulation and is willing to take me as your disciple, makes me overjoyed. How can I refuse?"

The young woman then bowed gracefully before Lin Xuan: "Ying'er pays respect to her master."

"Very well,"

Lin Xuan's face lit up with a smile. Although he respected her choice, such an outcome was exactly what he desired.

Ying'er had returned to his side, but how were the other girls of Bai Xuan Pavilion faring?

Thinking this, Lin Xuan sighed. Even though he himself was at the Tribulation Transcending Stage, overcoming the dimensional force and returning to the human world would be extremely difficult.

For now, he couldn't think about it. The path of immortality was arduous, but if fate allowed, there might still be hope for a reunion.

...

A few days later, a streak of shocking light departed from Lei Kong Island, containing a small and exquisite pleasure boat.

Lin Xuan brought not only himself but also his newly acquired disciple, Lu Ying'er. Now that they were master and apprentice, Lin Xuan couldn't allow her to remain on Lei Kong Island; she needed to be by his side for better guidance in cultivation.

He had already discussed this matter with the senior from the Lu family who was at the Soul Cultivation Stage. Upon learning that Lin Xuan wanted to take a small cultivator of the Flexible Spirit Period as his disciple, this immortal who had lived for tens of thousands of years was dumbfounded, almost thinking he must have heard wrong.

The benefits of having such an old tribulation-transcending monster as a master were clear in his mind. If possible, he would swap places with Ying'er and become Lin Xuan's disciple himself.

Of course, this was just a thought, and he dared not say anything more out of envy.

Nevertheless, the senior agreed readily. After all, Lu Ying'er was a direct descendant of the family; now that she had been taken as his disciple, there would be some connection between the Lu family and this mysterious tribulation-transcending old monster. He wouldn't dare ask Lin Xuan to become an honored guest elder in the family, but if the Lu family encountered any trouble, this senior Lin would likely not stand idly by for Ying'er's sake.

Thinking of this, the senior from the Lu family felt extremely relieved. The cultivation world was full of dangers, and having such a tribulation-transcending old monster as a support had its obvious benefits.

...

Inside the pleasure boat, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged while Lu Ying'er stood respectfully beside him. He was guiding her on some疑难s in her cultivation.

As they say, hearing one's words is better than reading for ten years; as an old tribulation-transcending monster, Lin Xuan was indeed overkill to instruct a novice of the Flexible Spirit Period. With just a few explanations, Ying'er felt as if she had been enlightened.

Despite this, Lin Xuan explained in great detail. While the Flexible Spirit Period was at the beginning of the path of immortality, it was precisely because it was foundational that it couldn't be taken lightly.

Ying'er listened intently and felt profound respect for Lin Xuan. She could not remember what her past life had been like, but before her, her master was genuinely concerned about her well-being. To be accepted as a disciple by such an eminent cultivator was indeed thrilling.

With such rare opportunities, she must seize them with both hands to avoid disappointing the heavens' arrangements.

As he explained, Lin Xuan also observed Ying'er's expression. Seeing her fully engaged in his teachings, he felt satisfied.

Since taking Ying'er as his disciple, Lin Xuan had already investigated her spiritual root potential. She had certainly distinguished herself among the family's younger generations, but to claim she was exceptional might be an exaggeration.

After all, while Lu Family did have a Soul Cultivation Stage cultivator, its scale was only in the thousands, and there weren't many Flexible Spirit Period cultivators. Coming first in such a small group wasn't particularly remarkable.

Of course, compared to her past life, Ying'er's abilities had improved exponentially, but when compared to his other disciples, she fell short.

But that didn't matter; diligence could make up for lack of talent. With the guidance of this master, she would surely achieve great things.

Lin Xuan did not linger long, about half an hour at most. Given Ying'er's shallow cultivation, he couldn't delve into too complex matters.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, a snow-white pill flew out.

Ying'er quickly reached for it; this was certainly her master’s reward.

However, when she looked closely at the pill, her expression froze. Although she had only just embarked on the path of immortality,筑基丹 was a precious medicinal that even a Flexible Spirit Period cultivator desired, so how could she not recognize it?

Unlike洗髓丹, this筑基丹 was much more valuable. While it might seem trivial to an old tribulation-transcending monster, giving it now seemed too early.

"Master..."

Ying'er's expression was filled with confusion; she had yet to reach the peak of the Flexible Spirit Period.

But before she could say anything else, Lin Xuan waved his sleeve again, and a greenish light enveloped Ying'er. She felt an extraordinary purity of spiritual energy flow through her meridians into her dantian.

She felt warm all over, as if her barriers were paper-thin and easily broken. Soon, she was at the brink of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Now that you have this medicinal pill, it is just right for you."

Lin Xuan said with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, master. I will take my leave now."

Ying'er's excitement was obvious, but she knew it wasn't the time for gratitude. With her cultivation suddenly advancing so much due to her master’s help, she needed to seize the moment and break through the Foundation Establishment Stage. There was no time to linger; she quickly went off to meditate in seclusion.
