Chapter 145: #145 - Chapter 145: Alertness

As time passed and circumstances changed, with Lu Xin's current strength, there was naturally no need to hide anything, so he recounted what he had seen.

"To be honest, if it weren't for that incident back then, I would have also taken action to snatch it," he admitted matter-of-factly.

After listening to his account, the woman said that she had noticed some clues in the past, but she hadn't paid much attention to them, so she believed him about seventy percent.

Moreover, he was so frank, and with his strength, he didn't need to deceive her, so she naturally believed him completely.

"I didn't expect them... Sigh!"

The woman sighed and bowed again, "Thank you, Senior, for clearing up my confusion."

Lu Xin waved his hand, "No need to thank me. Speaking of which, I have a past with the Evergreen Sect."

"What past?" the woman asked in surprise.

Murong Xin and the others also perked up their ears. They had been listening with great interest, never expecting that their Founder would hide his strength and rob a secret realm that only Qi Refining stage cultivators could enter.

Murong Xin finally understood how the hundreds of magical artifacts that the Founder had given him came to be.

Lu Xin didn't want to reveal that he had suddenly risen to prominence, so he said, "Back then, in order to temper my state of mind, I once planted spiritual fields in your miscellaneous service area for twenty years."

"What?"

Everyone opened their mouths wide.

Lu Xin knew from the woman's expression that she really didn't know about his past.

He sighed inwardly. As expected, the disappearance of a small miscellaneous servant wouldn't cause any ripples. At most, it would be reported to the miscellaneous affairs manager and that would be the end of it.

"Alright, let's not talk about irrelevant matters. Since you've come to seek apprenticeship, your conditions should be met, but I still need to test you."

Lu Xin turned his gaze back to the crowd and took out a spirit testing plate.

The few people were excited. Pure Yang Zhenren really hadn't lied to them. Only the woman hesitated a little. After thinking about it, she didn't refuse.

After all, their Evergreen Sect was directly uprooted because it faced the Holy Heart Sect and the Moon River Gate.

She had nowhere else to go.

Soon, the six people completed the test. As expected, they had come with confidence.

All six people had top-grade earth-level spiritual roots, no more, no less, and the most surprising thing was that one person actually possessed a mutated lightning spiritual root.

"Are you called Yu Sanxuan?"

Lu Xin looked at one person, who was twenty-five years old, the youngest of all, and had the lowest cultivation base, the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

He came from Puyun Mountain in the Wind Marsh Kingdom.

"Reporting to Senior, that's correct," Yu Sanxuan quickly replied.

Lu Xin nodded without asking any further questions. Since all six people met the requirements, he waved his hand and took them to a courtyard on the mountainside of Subduing Demon Peak, settling them here.

Then he left.

After that, Lu Xin never showed himself again, but he wasn't idle either.

Instead, he secretly used the Beauty Picture to pull them into illusions separately to check their pasts.

This was to prevent taking in people with bad character.

In case they stabbed him in the back one day, or brought back a pile of trouble.

And in order to do it without anyone noticing, he pulled them into the illusion when they were asleep. When they woke up, they would only think they had a dream, dreaming about things they had done before.

They wouldn't notice anything.

Soon, half a month passed, and he had finished watching everyone.

He successfully picked out one person with bad character. This person came from a righteous sect, but had the style of a heretical sect, and had secretly done a lot of things like killing and arson.

If he took him as a disciple, he might stab him in the back one day, or harm the people around him.

So Lu Xin found an excuse to drive him away.

"Damn it, someone is obviously less talented than me, but they actually said my talent is not good!"

Thousands of miles away from the Seven Luminaries Sect, a young man held a porcelain bottle, his face looking ugly, "They actually dismissed me with a random bottle of pills, who cares!"

He threw the porcelain bottle in his hand, then looked back at the Seven Luminaries Sect with resentment, "Hmph, if I'm not welcome here, I'll be welcome somewhere else. I'll just go back to my Moya Cave and continue to live a carefree life."

"Hehe, anyway, Master is dead, and no one will investigate the cause of Junior Sister's death anymore, so I can rest assured."

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he turned into a stream of light and left.

"As expected, he's an ungrateful wretch."

In the clouds, Lu Xin had a porcelain bottle in his hand, which was exactly what he had given to the man below.

He had thought before that although the other party's character was not good, or rather, he had done many evil deeds, but since he had come, in order to protect his reputation for accepting disciples in the future, he couldn't directly kill him.

He could only give him some compensation and send him away.

But when he thought of the man's petty and vindictive face in the Beauty Picture, and that he could even kill his benefactor's daughter.

So he was still worried about letting this hidden danger leave, so he followed him.

Now it seemed that this person had indeed developed a heart of revenge.

Although it wasn't obvious, as long as he had the opportunity, he believed that he would definitely not let it go.

Although Lu Xin wasn't afraid, for the sake of long-term consideration, this hidden danger couldn't be left behind.

So he raised his hand and pointed, directly erasing him, leaving not even a trace.

"Well, the knot in my heart is finally gone," Lu Xin inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped towards the Seven Luminaries Sect.

【Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully eliminating a hidden danger, awakening the passive: Heart of Vigilance.】

【Heart of Vigilance: When there is an inexplicable danger around the host, the knot in the host's heart is always lingering.】

"Huh?"

Suddenly hearing the system's voice, Lu Xin was so frightened that he almost fell down, and questioned in his heart:

"System, I've done a lot of things to eliminate hidden dangers, why did you only awaken this passive now?"

However, the system was still the same system, with no response.

"Could it be that the two conditions of appearing danger and eliminating hidden dangers must be met at the same time?"

The system didn't explain, he could only guess, maybe the hidden dangers eliminated before couldn't pose a danger to him, and the person he just killed would really threaten him.

"Does that mean I killed the right person?"

Lu Xin touched his chin, too lazy to think too much, and returned to the courtyard on the mountainside of Subduing Demon Peak in the blink of an eye.

"Greetings, Senior," the remaining three men and two women saluted.

"You may rise," Lu Xin waved his hand to help them up, and then announced that he would accept them as registered disciples. As long as they gained his approval in the future, they could become direct disciples.

He didn't mention the Amethyst Star Pattern Fruit, and he was still planning to wait and see if anyone with higher qualifications would come.

This would increase the chances of upgrading to the saint grade after taking it.

Moreover, he couldn't produce much in the early stage, and he had to give it to the best candidates.

"May I ask, Master, what counts as approval?" After listening to his words, Yu Sanxuan couldn't help but ask.

Lu Xin didn't give an answer, "You will know this in the future."

Seeing the disappointed expressions of the five people, he then added:

"But don't worry, whether you are registered disciples or direct disciples, I will try my best to teach you. And you will not lack any of the resources you should have."

"Thank you, Master," the five people said with joy, their disappointed expressions disappearing.

Then Lu Xin began to understand their cultivation situation. If their previous cultivation techniques were not good, he would change them. If the cultivation techniques were still suitable, he would explain their difficulties.

Anyway, he had the [Focus] passive, and he would learn it by looking at it.

After a while, Lu Xin poured out a pile of cultivation techniques and magic jade slips from his storage bag, "All of Master's accumulation is here, you can choose which ones are suitable for you."

The five people looked at the jade slips piled up like a small mountain in front of them, dumbfounded.

They used to come from various major sects, and they had never seen so many cultivation techniques and spells at once.

"By the way, in addition to these, I am also extremely proficient in immortal arts such as formations, alchemy, talisman crafting, and weapon refining. If you are interested, you can ask me to learn them."

The five people were completely shocked and speechless for a long time. Their master was so young, and his cultivation was so high, and he was even proficient in various skills.

It instantly made them feel like they had lived in vain for so long.
