Chapter 9: Becoming an Apprentice

  "Hmm! Now that you've brought him here, you can leave?" In front of Chen Feng, the stone wheel actually emitted a human voice.

  This voice is thick and powerful, it's probably a high-level cultivator of the spiritual path.

  Then, the stone carving wheel rotated, and the spiritual energy of space actually became active. Suddenly, the distorted space actually ejected a talisman paper to hit Lu Youqing.

  This talisman was recognized by Chen Feng, it was the paper talisman that Lu Zhanglao used to open the formation earlier.

  Old Master Lu's face lit up with joy as he took the talisman paper. Obtaining this talisman paper meant that from now on, as long as there was no one else around, he could come to cultivate here.

  The talisman paper he had previously was also given by his master, which allowed him to send Chen Feng into this secret room.

  Lu Zhang left after thanking him, leaving only Chen Feng alone here.

  Although the spiritual energy is strong here, it's actually a gloomy and eerie atmosphere that makes people feel a chill down their spine.

  "Where is this?" Chen Feng muttered to himself.

  "This is the 'Tianji Stone Mansion', being able to come here is your good fortune, whether you can stay or not depends on your qualifications!" At this time, the stone carving wheel spoke again.

  "You had Master Lu bring me here, what do you want to do? Could it be that you want to take me as your disciple?" Chen Feng said calmly. "However, if I hadn't joined the Tianji Gate, I wouldn't have taken you as my master."

  "Haha... You're quite bold for a young one! However, as long as you acknowledge me as your master, you'll naturally be considered a disciple of the Tianji Gate." Lun Pan said once again.

  Chen Feng nodded and said, "Alright." Actually, Chen Feng wasn't planning on taking in any disciples, but rather wanted to join the Dà Mén Pài (Great Gate Sect) to see how the system would prompt him to accept spirit-repairing tasks.

  If he doesn't complete the specified spiritual tasks, then it's impossible for him to upgrade his spiritual level.

  "You young man have quite an attitude, but whether or not I accept you as a disciple now depends on my willingness." Lun Pan said with a tone of complacency.

  "Can I make you my master, I don't mind, if not, then send me away, when the sky brightens, the Tianji Gate disciple selection competition, I will definitely join the Tianji Gate." Chen Feng said, and he didn't want to waste time with a stone wheel here.

  "Kid, the sect's selection tournament is nothing to be afraid of. If you acknowledge me as your master, you'll gain a lot of benefits and it will also greatly aid in your cultivation." Shi Lun said.

  "Player Chen Feng, hidden quest 'Apprentice' activated. Do you accept?" The prompt sounded.

  Upon hearing this voice, Chen Feng's face revealed a smile, and he actually activated the hidden task. With a task available, not accepting it would be foolish.

  Chen Feng bowed with both hands and said, "Disciple Chen Feng greets his respected master." He didn't care if the other was human or stone, as long as they could accept the task, he would bow to anyone, he had no time for such trivial matters.

  "You little brat..." Shi Lun was somewhat speechless, this smile was arrogant and unwilling to take a master one moment, yet inexplicably took a master without anyone's consent the next.

  But what's important is whether this kid has the talent or not.

  A stream of intangible air enveloped Chen Feng, and in an instant, he felt as if there were thousands of hands caressing him all over his body.

  "This...!" Shi Lun's voice was filled with surprise. "You little brat is actually a Xianling body, cultivating an excellent physique."

  "Impossible......" Suddenly, Shi Lun shouted loudly again. "Xianling dual attributes, this physique is rare in ten thousand years!"

  Hearing the stone wheel speak was so shocking that Chen Feng's heart leapt with joy. It seemed that this time, becoming an apprentice would be a success!

  "Good... good... good..." Shi Lun said repeatedly. "I'll take you as my apprentice."

  "Player Chen Feng successfully becomes a disciple of the Tianji Gate." A prompt sound is heard. "Player Chen Feng, completes the discipleship task and receives the reward: one Wind-Chasing Pill."

  Chen Feng's face lit up with joy, and he bowed his hands again. "Disciple pays respects to Master."

  This apprenticeship seems a bit too easy, this task is also completed a bit too simple.

  But what made Chen Feng a bit depressed was that the task here seemed to only reward some props, and there was no experience. However, even without experience, the props were still pretty good!

  So Chen Feng bowed down to Shi Lun as his master. However, he knew that Shi Lun was actually just a transmitter, and his real master was not here, but somewhere else.

  Chen Feng sat in this stone cave every day, practicing meditation according to the oral instructions of Shi Lun Shifu.

  According to the oral formula, Chen Feng actually managed to cultivate experience, which surprised him.

  Chen Feng actually levels up faster when fighting monsters in the wild, but Shi Lun didn't let him leave and he couldn't leave either. Moreover, the system didn't prompt him that there were tasks to accept.

  After a year of meditation, Chen Feng had actually risen to the tenth level. If he were to rise one more level, he would be able to advance from the Open Spirit period to the Spirit Gathering period. However, he was still only in the early stages of the Open Spirit period and wanted to advance, but it was impossible without completing his spiritual tasks.

  In this Tianji Stone Mansion, even if you don't eat or drink, you won't feel hungry or thirsty.

  Opening the attribute panel, Chen Feng allocated his free attribute points.

  Name: Chen Feng

  Rank: 10th (89%) Giant Spirit God

  Power: 110

  Weight: 81 kg

  Agile: 26

  Speed: 31

  Spirit: 25

  Attributes: Fire, Earth

  Spiritual level: Initial Awakening

  Attack: 1100

  Magic: 250

  Defense: 810

  Movement speed: 310

  Skill: Giant Spirit Fist (Consumes 1000 MP, doubles physical attack power.)

  Chen Feng allocated all five free attribute points to his Spiritual Power, now he needs to cultivate his spirit, his Spiritual Power must be strong, and the spiritual energy he releases must be abundant.

  Within a year's time, Chen Feng had also become extremely proficient in controlling his spiritual energy. At the same time, he had also cultivated a skill from Shi Lun.

  When a character becomes a Spirit Master, they can cultivate skills. However, they must advance one level in their Spirit Realm to cultivate the next skill.

  Chen Feng is now at level 10, but he has only just opened his spiritual aperture and can only cultivate one skill.

  Shi Lun wanted to teach him some skills, but Chen Feng refused. He couldn't cultivate anyway, and even if he was taught, it would be in vain. After all, he had system restrictions now.

  Shi Lun thought Chen Feng was very strange, this disciple, every day was bitterly practicing, but his boundary didn't seem to be improving, and his control over his spiritual energy was also extremely skilled, this kid's comprehension was extremely strong.

  Looking left and right, this kid isn't useless, but he can't be promoted. As a master, he can't even find the problem, it's quite embarrassing.

  "Disciple, your comprehension is not bad, but your realm should have improved by now. Your efforts are also known to me, your master. As for your problem, I will find the true cause for you." Shi Lun said.
