Chapter 78: Ye Xue Becomes a Disciple
"Lu Xuanji, considered to have decent aptitude... but compared to those with Dual Spirit Root, Anomalous Spirit Root, and Celestial Spirit Root, he’s far inferior. What virtues or abilities does he possess to earn the favor of the Golden Ancestor!" The cultivator surnamed Wu curiously asked.
"I don’t know either, it’s said he was lucky back then to pass the Golden Ancestor’s third test!"
Ning Yuan said leisurely, recounting the three tests back then.
The first test assessed the purity of True Essence, the second test assessed comprehension, and the third test assessed luck.
"I see, perhaps the Golden Ancestor, occupying Purple Sun Mountain, owed a debt of cause and effect to the Lu Family and is repaying it!" The cultivator surnamed Wu shook his head, offering a reason.
"Perhaps so!"
Cultivator Ning Xing said, "However, if the Golden Ancestor wants to establish a Spiritual Mountain, he could do so anywhere. Why choose Purple Sun Mountain? Purple Sun Mountain has good fortune, and so does the Lu Family. A mountain doesn’t have to be high to be famous if it has an Immortal; water doesn’t have to be deep to have spirits if there are dragons. Because of the Golden Ancestor’s presence, the Spirit Vein of Purple Sun Mountain has been elevated from Third Grade to Fourth Grade, something the Lu Family couldn’t have achieved even after hundreds of years."
The cultivator surnamed Wu said, "The Lu Family hit the jackpot!"
"Indeed!" Ning Yuan said, "But the Lu Family can only stand with the Golden Ancestor. It’s said that the Golden Ancestor had some discord with an ancestor from the main sect, hence leaving the main sect and arriving at Qingshui Commandery, at Purple Sun Mountain."
"Enough!"
The cultivator surnamed Wu immediately said in fright, "The Golden Core Ancestor is not someone we can casually talk about, stop now."
