Chapter 3

"Fourth, if you really encounter some super big trouble, like ancient families or something, do not reveal my name and address."

Yun Lige's face twitched violently.

After a long while, he finally managed to digest it and couldn't help but ask cautiously:

"Master, shouldn't martial artists always charge forward, breaking through mountains and building bridges over rivers, never retreating?"

Lu Xiaoran sneered.

"Have you been drinking too much chicken soup? I'll be honest with you. Although in this world, most people, as long as they follow the steps of cultivation, won't violate the law of the jungle. However, the premise is that you don't encounter an extremely terrifying and highly unstable existence. Once you do, even if you are an emperor, you might still fall!"

"Whoa~!"

Yun Lige couldn't help but draw a sharp breath and widen his eyes.

"How could there be such people in this world?"

"Of course there are! And there are many! I call them all 'invincible ones'!"

"Invincible ones?"

"Exactly! An 'invincible one' could be a peasant boy you look down upon, or a servant by your side, or even someone like you who can't even cultivate."

"They are often the most despised, enduring all the ridicule and coldness of the world. But in reality, they have overwhelming luck, far surpassing ordinary people. Just browsing a street stall, they can discover ancient legacies. Entering a tomb, it might be an ancient emperor's tomb! Despite being very poor, there will always be a rich and beautiful woman who falls in love with them, and is completely devoted to them."

"Even if your strength far exceeds theirs, and you relentlessly pursue them, you can never kill them. In the end, you will find that their growth rate far exceeds your imagination. When you realize it, it's already too late. They will kill you, and then your parents and your family will seek revenge, only to be wiped out by them. As the saying goes, one person dies, and the whole family is delivered."

Boom—!

Hearing this, Yun Lige's mind was suddenly shaken violently, and even his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Isn't what Master said exactly what he has experienced?

That stinky kid was just a boy from a declining family in Jiangcheng, who couldn't even afford the tuition for martial arts.

He had never taken him seriously, and at first, he didn't even know that there was such a person in Jiangcheng.

However, he grew from an unknown nobody to someone who could destroy the entire Yun family.

Not only that, he also won the favor of his fiancée, making her, a noble lady from a prestigious family, completely devoted to him!

One by one, these events left Yun Lige utterly baffled.

He never thought that today, Master would reveal the truth to him.

A great master!

Absolutely a great master!

He had chosen the right master.

Yun Lige straightened his body, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Lu Xiaoran, extremely excited.

"Master, what you said is absolutely right. I will firmly abide by your rules and won't take a single step out of the Tranquil Water Peak without your permission."

Lu Xiaoran nodded in satisfaction. This disciple has a high level of enlightenment.

He patted Yun Lige's back of the head.

"You are teachable. Since that's the case, Master can teach you the cultivation techniques with peace of mind."

Yun Lige nodded, then asked with some confusion:

"But Master, my meridians are completely severed. Don't you need to help me repair them first?"

Lu Xiaoran chuckled.

"Who said that with severed meridians, one cannot practice martial arts? There are thousands of paths and myriad methods. Today, I will teach you the Supreme Emperor Scripture. Cultivate it well, and it will lead you to a new starting point!"

With that, Lu Xiaoran flicked his finger, sending the Supreme Emperor Scripture into Yun Lige's forehead.

After receiving the Supreme Emperor Scripture, Yun Lige merely glanced at it and was immediately frightened, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"My God, Master... this... this... this..."

He was too scared to speak.

If Lu Xiaoran had given him a Heaven-level cultivation technique, he might have been just excited, but he wouldn't have been scared.

However, Lu Xiaoran actually gave him an Emperor-level cultivation technique!

Was he dreaming?

This was an Emperor-level supreme cultivation technique!

A technique that could make someone cultivate into a great emperor!

A treasure that even emperors would envy!

Master just gave it to him so easily?

Lu Xiaoran glanced at him with a frown and said:

"Look at you, just a mere Emperor-level cultivation technique, and you get so excited? Hurry up and cultivate well. I'm going to refine some pills."

"Whoa~!"

Yun Lige felt his scalp tingle, and all the hairs on his body stood up, as if an electric current was passing through his skin.

He was once again speechless and stunned by Lu Xiaoran.

A prestigious Emperor-level cultivation technique, a rare treasure, was casually dismissed by Master. How powerful must Master be?

Because of the shock, he remained frozen in place for several dozen seconds.

When he finally came to his senses, he spoke with a serious face.

"Master, this is too precious. I can't accept it. This is an Emperor-level cultivation technique!"

Lu Xiaoran waved his hand and said impatiently:

"Stop talking nonsense. A man shouldn't be so indecisive like a woman. If you want to thank me, cultivate this technique well, become a great power, and leave your name in history. That will be the greatest reward for me."

"Master."

Yun Lige was moved and speechless with excitement. After a moment, he firmly resolved.

"Yes! Master, rest assured, I will not fail my mission."

Seeing Yun Lige's determination, Lu Xiaoran finally nodded in satisfaction and then turned to leave.

"Hurry up and cultivate. Also, find time to build a house."

"Yes!"

After Lu Xiaoran left, Yun Lige immediately clenched his fists, feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from the Emperor-level cultivation technique, his eyes rekindling a flame of hope.

"Father, Mother, did you see? Your son has joined a great master. With his guidance, your son will definitely cultivate again and find that bastard and that woman to avenge the past humiliation!"

...

Back in his room, Lu Xiaoran couldn't maintain his serious face anymore. His brows furrowed into a '川' (川), and he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

An Emperor-level cultivation technique!

It was an Emperor-level supreme cultivation technique!

He hadn't even cultivated it himself, and now he had given it away, truly feeling the pain.

But there was no choice. He had already read through the Supreme Emperor Scripture with his mind. The prerequisite for cultivation was to remove all his cultivation and break all his meridians, and only with a body without meridians could he cultivate.

This method was too painful. Lu Xiaoran gave up the idea of cultivating it after just one glance.

Anyway, whatever cultivation Yun Lige gained, he would gain as well.

When Yun Lige learned the Supreme Emperor Scripture, he would also learn it.

It's just that Yun Lige's talent wasn't as strong as his, so his cultivation would be much slower.

No matter, lying and winning is the way to go.

With this thought, Lu Xiaoran threw the materials into the alchemy furnace and began refining pills.
