Chapter 319: Cultivation (I)
Outside the Azure Tide Pavilion, many inner sect disciples had gathered. When they saw Lin Zheyu come out, the hushed murmurs instantly fell silent.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle." The inner sect disciples hurriedly saluted Lin Zheyu.
Inner sect disciples did not have personal masters. They all trained under the Transmission Elder, making them equivalent to the elder's registered disciples. The Transmission Elders were all held by disciples from Huang Baizhong's lineage or the generation of his martial nephews. The seniority of inner sect disciples was naturally half a generation lower than that of true disciples. When these people saw Lin Zheyu, they all had to address him as Martial Uncle. Lin Zheyu nodded to them, passed through the crowd, and headed toward the Hall of Vital Longevity. After he left, discussions once again rose behind him.
"He became a true disciple just like that, eh. This kind of treatment has not happened in decades, has it?" someone said with a sigh.
"Yes, someone who can be specially admitted and directly become a true disciple must possess monstrous natural talent. I even saw Senior Brother Bo Yi deliberately searching everywhere at the Waterfall Deep Pool for Martial Uncle Lin. He must have treated him as a rival. Who would have thought there was no need to compete at all? He became a true disciple outright," said another person.
In a corner, Bo Yi looked at Lin Zheyu's retreating figure, let out a long breath, and silently clenched his fist.
Monstrous natural talent? So what. I will definitely become a true disciple and then surpass you, leaving you far behind, thought Bo Yi as a powerful fighting spirit erupted in his eyes.
Before long, Lin Zheyu disappeared from his sight, and Bo Yi turned around and left as well.

Upon arriving at the Hall of Vital Longevity, Lin Zheyu saw familiar faces. Xiao Shu, who had tried to sell him loan services the first time he came here, was also present. When Xiao Shu saw Lin Zheyu, he was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned complicated. He had thought he would witness an exciting and intense struggle for the position of true disciple, but the person before him had already transformed into a true disciple.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle Lin. Are you here to collect the cultivation resources for Azure Tide Boundless True Technique?" Xiao Shu asked respectfully.
"Yes. What is the maximum I can receive?" Lin Zheyu asked.
