CHAPTER 256: CHAPTER 177: 4TH REINCARNATION: STONE BUDDHA BESTOWS MEDICINE, MYSTERIOUS INSECT CAVE!

Lu Family Mansion.

Master Pu Xuan sat upright in the main seat, holding Lu Yuan’s hand, carefully examining his bones.

The next second.

His seat seemed to have been pricked by a needle; he suddenly sprang to his feet, staring incredulously at Lu Yuan, his aged eyes full of astonishment.

"Spiritual energy as vast as the sea, naturally compatible with Thunder Qi, this... this is a Top-Grade Mutated Thunder Spirit Root!"

Master Pu Xuan seemed somewhat disbelieving, and after carefully examining Lu Yuan several times, he finally accepted this fact.

One must know that a spirit root represents a person’s qualification.

Without a spirit root, one cannot sense spiritual energy; no matter how hard you cultivate, it will ultimately be in vain.

For example, although Landlord Zhou is powerful and wealthy, he happens to lack a spirit root, so no matter what methods he tries, he can’t set foot on the path of cultivation.

Moreover, just having a spirit root isn’t a guarantee of everything.

Because spirit roots also vary in quality and rank, according to the ancient experiences of the Cultivation Realm, they are roughly divided into Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Top Grade, and the rarest, Top Grade!

Spirit Root Attributes are further divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and other mutated attributes.

Among them, a single-attribute Top-Grade Mutated Spirit Root is also called a Celestial Spirit Root!

Meaning a favored child of the heavens, with no bottlenecks on the path of cultivation, advancing at a speed a thousand miles a day, far surpassing cultivators of the same level.

Even if one slacks off, sleeping all day, they can successfully become a Core Formation Cultivator.

If one practices diligently, stepping into the Nascent Soul, or even Divinity Transformation Realm within a hundred years is just around the corner!

"Medicine Buddha Sect has existed for 5,600 years since its founding, yet through the ages, only the founding patriarch was a Divinity Transformation Great Power!"

"Truly the heavens bless our Medicine Buddha Sect, if this one is nurtured to grow, why worry about the sect not flourishing?"

Master Pu Xuan was excited, his face red, staring passionately at Lu Yuan as if appraising a peerless treasure.

Lu Yuan was so unnerved by his stare that his skin prickled, and he could only try to suppress his own Gu Insect aura to not reveal anything unusual.

"Lu Yuan, my young friend, would you be willing to join our Medicine Buddha Sect?"

Master Pu Xuan said kindly, his attitude unprecedentedly gentle.

"I am willing," Lu Yuan replied, cupping his hands in salute.

Without entering the tiger’s den, how can one catch the tiger cub?

The Medicine Buddha Sect has thousands of disciples and hundreds of elders; one could say all within are twisted monsters, bodies controlled by the Parasite Insect Race.

Ordinary cultivators, if they knew the truth, would probably be scared out of their wits and flee overnight from this place.

But Lu Yuan already mastered the Gu Dao cultivation method; to him, the Medicine Buddha Sect, this monster-filled Insect Cave, is an excellent place to practice Gu, greatly enhancing his cultivation speed!

"Your innate bones are remarkable, if you have a good teacher, you will surely reach Core Formation within thirty years," Master Pu Xuan laughed.

Originally, before he set out, he planned to take Lu Yuan as a disciple.

But upon learning Lu Yuan had a Top-Grade Mutated Thunder Spirit Root, he immediately changed his mind.

After all, Celestial Spirit Roots are rarely seen even in a hundred years; taking him as his disciple would only waste Lu Yuan’s talent.

In the entire Medicine Buddha Sect, perhaps only Sect Leader Hui Ming and those Supreme Elders with Nascent Soul cultivation are qualified to teach Lu Yuan!

"Since you join the Medicine Buddha Sect, we are now fellow disciples."

"This is my little gift, I hope you will remain humble and work hard in cultivation, and reach Foundation Establishment soon," Master Pu Xuan said, taking out a Jade Bottle from thin air, intending to form a good relationship with Lu Yuan.

After all, with Lu Yuan’s talent, forming a Golden Core is only a matter of time, especially given his young age, his future achievements are limitless.

"Thank you, Master Pu Xuan." Lu Yuan accepted the elixir and carefully stored it away.

"Alright, I will stay here for two days, during which you can settle any worldly ties, and after two days, return to the sect with me," Master Pu Xuan said considerately.

Meanwhile, the news that Lu Yuan was accepted as a disciple of the Medicine Buddha Sect spread rapidly, creating a sensation throughout Qingshui County.

Medicine Buddha Sect has a long history, stretching back 5,000 years, and is quite a renowned sect in the entire Da Jing Dynasty.

Moreover, the Medicine Buddha Sect has superior medical skills, excelling in alchemy and medicine making; over the years, it has accumulated countless connections and friendships, even the Da Jing Royal Family sometimes personally comes to request medicine.

Its status is revered and extraordinary; even just an Outer Disciple would be treated as an honored guest by local governments.

It can be said that for an ordinary mortal to become a disciple of the Medicine Buddha Sect is nothing short of stepping up to the heavens.

Upon hearing the news, various forces in Qingshui County sprang into action.

Every day, there was an endless stream of people coming to visit and give gifts, almost ruining the threshold of the Lu Family.

Even the County Magistrate of Qingshui personally came to pay his respects, presenting a generous gift just to leave a slight impression on Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan did not shut these people out but instead conversed with each one, making them feel honored and excited.

In truth, given Lu Yuan’s status, even if he did not see anyone, no one would dare complain.

The reason he did this was entirely for the sake of his parents.

Once you enter the Immortal Sect, it is deep as the sea, severing all earthly ties.

After joining the Medicine Buddha Sect, this goodbye might be forever.

But Father Lu and Mother Lu remain here, so Lu Yuan could only endeavor to accumulate contacts and friendships.

He does not expect the County Magistrate of Qingshui and others to give their all, just that they might help out when his parents need it.
