Chapter 1: Siblings

  After retreating from the square in front of Yuning Hall, Lu Chen did not wait to share this joyful moment with Zuo Qinghe. He knew that after the assessment ended, it would be time for the inner disciples to receive their assigned duties, and it wouldn't end in just a few hours.

  Lu Chen returned alone and hoped to tell Master Dust this news so that he could be happy.

  He rushed all the way back to the small hut in the bamboo forest at Wangduan Peak, this time he didn't knock on the door but directly pushed it open and walked in.

  "Master, I'm back! Haha, you have no idea, just now I killed everyone in all directions, I..."

  The atmosphere was great, and before entering the house, Lu Chen had already called out in a loud voice, but when he looked inside, his words got stuck halfway.

  Inside the bamboo house was not only Lü Chen, but also an old man sitting across from him. This old man was not unfamiliar to Lü Chen, and they had just met recently.

  Yu Yang Zhen Ren, Qian Yu Men's leader.

  At a glance, it was Yu Yang, and Lu Chen's eyes widened in surprise. In his heart, he couldn't understand why the True Person of Palm Teachings would be here, and he thought to himself: "How could the True Person of Palm Teachings be here...?"

  Looking at the two of them sitting calmly, their relationship seems to be more than ordinary.

  "It can't be fellow disciples, right? No way, one is the 'Ling' generation and the other is the 'Yu' generation, they're not even related. Lu Chen was secretly seething with anger, and was even a bit confused about the situation."

  Lu Xichen walked in, and Lu Chen put down his teacup, calmly asking: "Back?"

  Lu Chen simply nodded dully, clearly still in a daze from the scene inside the house.

  "Kneel down..." The dust-covered Zheng spoke with an unprecedentedly serious tone.

  Lu Chen was taken aback again and shifted his gaze from Yu Yang to Lu Chen: "Master, what's so serious?"

  "Kneel down!" The dust settled, his face turned red, and he scolded again.

  Lü Chen felt a bit displeased, but as soon as he thought of the rattan stick, he couldn't help but shudder. He immediately said: "Alright, don't be angry, okay? It's just kneeling down, right?" As he spoke, Lü Chen thudded to his knees.

  Yu Yang, the True Person, watched with a chill in his heart, thinking to himself: "This little guy really has some personality! It's the first time I've seen someone like this. Can Master tolerate him?" Yu Yang thought to himself as he kept glancing at Chen Dust.

  With a serious expression, he stood up, cleared his throat and said: "From today on, you will be a member of the Qian Yu Men. Your master gives you the Dao number Yu Hu, hoping that from now on you can take the honor and disgrace of the Qian Yu Men as your own, cultivate diligently with a humble heart, and don't disappoint your master's expectations of you. This iron plaque is the symbol of your identity."

  As he spoke, Liao Chen suddenly pulled out an iron plaque from somewhere and threw it in front of Lu Chen. Lu Chen picked it up and saw that the front side had a large "Yu" character, while the back side was engraved with the "Hu" character, clearly this was something Liao Chen had specially prepared for himself.

  "Yu Hu?" Lu Chen muttered to himself, as if he had remembered something, and suddenly exclaimed: "Yu character generation?"

  Ling Chen was very satisfied with Lu Chen's reaction, nodded and said: "That's right, now you can meet your senior brother." As he spoke, Ling Chen pointed at Yu Yang Zhen Ren.

  "Jade... Jade generation? Master... Master brother?" Lu Chen was completely stunned, looking at Chen again and then turning his head to look at Yu Yang Zhen Ren, not daring to believe it, he pointed at Yu Yang Zhen Ren and asked for confirmation: "Master, do you mean that the Palm Teachings True Person is my master brother?"

  "What? Do you have an opinion?" Leng Yun furrowed his brow.

  "So you're the master of the real person?"

  "Needless to say."

  Having obtained Dust's confirmation, Lu Chen excitedly jumped up and said: "So to speak, in the Qian Yu Men, you are the eldest, Shixiong is the second, and I am the third?"

  "Hmm"

  Upon hearing this, Yu Yang Zhen Ren spat out the half mouthful of tea he had just drunk, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat as he thought to himself: "This description is truly unprecedented."

  It's clear that Lu Chen still hasn't shaken off the institutional concepts he established from surviving in the streets for over a decade. At this moment, he completely regarded Qianyu Gate as some large gang.

  "What nonsense is this?" Dusty heard the voice and was furious, the rattan stick in his hand quickly drew out, slap slap slap three whips. Suddenly, Lu Chen was beaten to the point of gnashing his teeth and jumping up and down.

  "Stop, stop hitting me, doesn't the disciple know his mistake?" Lu Chen was afraid of nothing in this life, but for this ordinary rattan stick, he had a lingering fear for a month. Every time he took it out, he would make himself beg for mercy.

  He whipped him more than ten times, and finally stopped, scolding: "You stinky brat, I'm formally telling you now, in the past you could be presumptuous, but after entering Qianyu Gate, you'd better behave yourself. Don't think that just because you're a Yu-character generation disciple, if you commit an offense, you'll still receive punishment, and it will be twice as severe as for ordinary disciples. You can take care of yourself."

  Tao Yi sat down with a huff, his dusty face still red with anger. Although he was furious, there was nothing he could do to Lu Chen, so he could only use a threatening tone to warn him not to make any mistakes.

  It's okay to joke about trivial matters, but when it comes to serious business, Lu Chen has never been ambiguous. He hastily and obediently said "yes", and smiled silently. It seemed that those dozen or so lashes with the rattan rod didn't count as a big deal.

  Born with a thick skin, a few punches are nothing.

  After calming down a bit, Ling dust asked Yu Yang: "Yu Yang, have you brought everything?"

  "It's brought." Yu Yang didn't answer like Lu Chen, with a respectful tone.

  "Give it to him."

  "Yes." Yu Yang responded with a single word, then took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Lu Chen: "Younger brother, this is the Qian Kun bag. Just acknowledge ownership by dripping blood on it."

  "Qian Kun Bag?" Lu Chen heard the voice and was overjoyed. He had heard of this thing, it's said to be a kind of portable storage treasure that can hold quite a few things.

  Upon hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't wait any longer and bit his finger, dripping a drop of fresh blood. As the blood fell onto the Qian Kun bag, the treasure bag flashed with light, and Lu Chen saw what was inside.

  "Five hundred talismans, a small amount of cinnabar, one talisman brush... and so on. What is this? Wow! Fifty inferior spirit stones. Counting them out one by one, Lu Chen's eyes shone brightly as he looked up at Yu Yang and exclaimed in surprise: "Senior brother, you're really too extravagant! Junior brother's admiration for you is like a boundless river..."

  So, Lu Chen didn't feel embarrassed at all and used the same flattering words he had previously used on Dust to praise Yu Yang Zhen Ren again.

  Yu Yang Zhen Ren heard it in his ears, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He wanted to laugh but couldn't, so he just lowered his head and chuckled awkwardly.

  "Junior brother is being polite, hehe, this is just a small token." Yu Yang suppressed his smile and continued to exchange pleasantries.

  His face turned iron-green, looking at Lu Chen, he really couldn't help but want to go forward and strangle him to death. Afraid of being drowned by Lu Chen's saliva, Lu Chen directly interrupted: "Shut up, these things are all for your use. Master has something to do recently and will be going out on a long trip soon. From now on, your task is not only to continue practicing the Clear Mind Technique, the Five Luo Flowing Cloud Steps, and the Flowing Sand Finger, but also to master the three Taoist techniques of the Five Elements Earth System and the method of making talismans. If there's anything you don't understand, ask your senior brother directly. When Master returns, I will test each one of them on you. If any item is unqualified, get out of here yourself."

  "Another assessment?" As soon as he heard about the assessment, Lu Chen's eyes widened in discontent.

  "Nonsense, how can you tell if you're working hard or not without assessment?" The angry shout of the master, "For this trip, it will be at least three months. When I come back, you must be able to use the five elements earth system three door techniques proficiently, and also learn the four doors of symbol technique. And, being a Jade character generation disciple is not just for show."

  "Can't say anymore, got it." Lü Chén hadn't finished speaking when Lù Chén took over very tactfully.

  Finally, Leng Xue revealed a hint of a smile and said, "Alright, now that you know, let's go."

  "Alright." Knowing that if he said anything more, the dust would fall again. Lu Chen smiled and looked at Dust and Yu Yang, bowed and said: "Then I'll go first. Uh, Master, you sit down first, I'll leave first."

  "Junior brother, please..." Yu Yang Zhen Ren's smile was neither a smile nor a cry, but the expression on his face was exceptionally brilliant.

  As he spoke, Lu Chen turned around and walked out of the house, closing the door behind him.

  Lu Chen walked away, and suddenly Leng Chen smiled and said: "Yu Yang, I'm leaving him to you. Be careful, this kid is very clever, some things can be seen through at a glance, he won't affect your quiet cultivation."

  Yu Yang thought for a moment and asked: "Master, is it safe to send Shidi to such a dangerous place?"

  Having heard the words, he smiled with deep meaning and said: "If you don't try, how will you know? This kid is a rough jade, if not carefully polished, it's hard to become talented. Don't worry, life and death are destined, wealth and nobility are in heaven, whether this kid becomes a dragon or a snake depends on himself."
