Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Preparing to Accept a Disciple

As soon as Yan Rufeng arrived at the Wolong Abyss construction site, he immediately drew a crowd. Of course, it was his classmates who came to see him, and they all started criticizing Yan Rufeng.

The class monitor spoke first, "Rufeng, you need to come over more often, otherwise we’re all going to go crazy because of Fatty Girl."

"What’s up with her?"

Zhou Tong also laughed, "Rufeng, you have no idea. Just now, I called her to do something. She must be at your place, right? You wouldn’t believe how much she didn’t want to go, and she’s still complaining about it."

Li Xiaofei joked, "Rufeng, I think you and Fatty Girl should just get together already. It would save me the trouble of her pestering me to call you."

"Xiaofei, can you be serious for once? Watch out, or Xiaxia will blow a gasket if she hears this." The class monitor laughed.

"Guys, stop talking about this. I want to go check on the progress of the project."

Yan Rufeng was feeling quite exasperated.

Zhou Tong took Yan Rufeng for a round. The second level of the underground palace at Wolong Abyss was being poured. At this rate, Yan Rufeng believed the palace should be completed within three months since Zhou Tong had mobilized nearly two thousand people to work on it.

Yan Rufeng also asked Zhou Tong about the safety at the construction site and learned that there had been no accidents. He praised Zhou Tong for the good safety measures and secretly commended the Eight Ghosts.

Yan Rufeng then went to check the spirit vein by himself and discovered that it had grown significantly, already starting to release a large amount of spiritual energy.

Yan Rufeng came to the underground cave and gathered the Eight Ghosts, "You guys have been performing well recently, your cultivation is improving, and the safety measures on the site are well done. Once the underground palace is built and decorated, you can move to the fifth level to cultivate."

"Thank you, boss. We’ll continue to work hard and strive for perfection," said the lead Fatty Ghost.

Another Fatty Ghost said, "Boss, it’s a blessing in disguise. I feel less like a ghost and more like a human with each passing day."

"Hehe!"

Yan Rufeng laughed, "The more advanced your cultivation, the more substantial your soul becomes. Once your soul cultivates into a physical body, you won’t be far from becoming immortals."

"Haha..."

"I never thought Old Yan could become an immortal. Just thinking about it makes me happy," the lead Fatty Ghost laughed.

"Your surname is also Yan?" Yan Rufeng asked in astonishment.

"Boss, my surname is Yan, but it’s different from yours. Mine is Yan with a ’door and three’ in it."

"Oh, okay. I’ll call you King Yan from now on!"

"The King Yan from the underworld?"

"Of course not!"

Old Yan let out a long breath, patted his chest, and comforted himself, "That scared the ghost out of me. I wouldn’t dare to offend King Yama."

"Haha..."

Yan Rufeng laughed, "You guys get back to work. I need to go."

As soon as Yan Rufeng stepped out of the Wolong Abyss construction site, he saw Su Moran waiting for him.

"Master!"

"Moran, you’re here."

Su Moran smiled sweetly, "Master, I have good news. My cultivation has advanced another level over the past few days."

Yan Rufeng said, "This place is abundant in spiritual energy. I let you help out here because of that. Moreover, you’re the only one who has received cultivation inheritance here, so your cultivation naturally progresses smoothly."

"Thank you, Master."

Su Moran was extremely happy to receive such favor from Yan Rufeng.

"Screech!"

A black car stopped beside Yan Rufeng. When Su Moran saw Liu Ping’er getting out of the car, she knowingly said, "Master, I’ll leave you to your business."

Yan Rufeng watched Su Moran leave excitedly and shook his head helplessly.

"Brother Rufeng, you came but didn’t see me. Am I that scary looking?"

With her natural charm, Liu Ping’er kept staring at Yan Rufeng, causing him to get goosebumps.

"Sister Liu, what are you talking about? You’re so beautiful that I can’t get enough of you. How could I think you’re not good-looking?" Yan Rufeng said reluctantly, even though it made him uncomfortable.

"Giggle!"

Liu Ping’er coquettishly smiled, "Knowing you were coming today, Su Changqing and Mr. Zhang asked me to tell you that we’ll see you at Zhongzhou Restaurant tonight, no excuses."

Yan Rufeng didn’t dare look directly at Liu Ping’er. It wasn’t anyone’s fault; she was born charming. More than once, Yan Rufeng had almost given her the Cultivation Technique of the Green Moon Palace in a moment of impulse. Thinking about how Liu Ping’er practicing that technique could jeopardize his celibacy, he decided against it.

Becoming aware that Yan Rufeng had come to Zhongzhou, city officials arranged to welcome him at Zhongzhou Restaurant immediately. They knew Yan Rufeng held the rank of lieutenant colonel.

During his appointment, many political figures had missed the chance to congratulate him, so they gathered to celebrate.

Ning Zhongnan also arrived with his group, along with Elder Song from Zhongyuan Hall and Yan Rufeng’s classmates. Numerous shareholders from Yiyun Group also attended Zhongzhou Restaurant.

In no time, the entire city, filled with prominent figures, assembled at Zhongzhou Restaurant. The lobby was packed and buzzing with conversation.

Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan saw many political and business figures congratulating their son, Yan Rufeng. They were overjoyed because even the Yan Family and the Mu Family hadn’t enjoyed such grand occasions.

During the banquet, Yan Rufeng delivered a speech. He mentioned that he would be staying in the Capital City for the next three months and then planned to hold a live disciple recruitment ceremony at Zhongzhou Wolong Abyss.

This announcement exploded like a bomb, shocking everyone and prompting them to share the news on social media. Soon, Yan Rufeng was trending online again.

"Breaking news! The top figure in Huaxia is recruiting disciples."

"What? Yan Rufeng is recruiting disciples? Does he have any criteria?"

"There are no specific criteria. He said he would recruit on the spot. If he takes a liking to you, he’ll accept you as his disciple."

"Really? I need to get to Zhongzhou. I want to become Yan Rufeng’s disciple."

"Then go get a ticket. Head to Zhongzhou now and wait for three months..."

"Haha..."

"Go get your tickets. I’m flying to Zhongzhou..."

"Hehe."

"Can flying be faster than me? I’m less than five kilometers from Zhongzhou. I’ll drive there and wait at Wolong Abyss..."

"I despise you rich folks and those close to Zhongzhou..."

Nationwide, people began scrambling for tickets. The railway department was baffled by the sudden surge. Train tickets and regular tickets to Zhongzhou for the next seven days were sold out. It also caused congestion on the highways leading from nearby cities to Zhongzhou.

The Zhongzhou Railway Bureau and the traffic management department called the mayor. Major news agencies also contacted Mayor Zhao.

Mayor Zhao Ming, understanding the seriousness of the situation, urgently sought out Yan Rufeng.

"Comrade Rufeng, nobody is stopping you from recruiting disciples, but you need to have some criteria. This is a mess now."

Yan Rufeng, puzzled, asked, "What happened, Mayor Zhao?"

"Comrade Rufeng, you announced a nationwide disciple recruitment, and people are rushing to Zhongzhou, planning to wait for three months," Zhao Ming said helplessly.

"If they want to wait, let them wait," Yan Rufeng said casually.

Zhao Ming spoke earnestly, "Comrade Rufeng, do you realize how many people will come to Zhongzhou? Zhongzhou can’t accommodate so many people. In less than ten days, Zhongzhou will be paralyzed."

Yan Rufeng thought for a moment and found it inappropriate. He said, "Mayor Zhao, I will have the Yiyun Group’s official website issue a statement. I will go to different cities to select disciples, so they don’t need to come to Zhongzhou. Everyone who wants to become my disciple will have a chance."

After Yiyun Group’s official website issued the statement, those who had bought tickets were instantly upset.

"Can someone tell me what’s happening? Why didn’t they say this earlier?"

"Since we already have tickets, let’s go. The sooner we become Yan Rufeng’s disciples, the sooner we can achieve greatness. What’s wrong with that?"

"Right, this brother has a point. Let’s keep getting tickets..."

On Earth, in Ancient Huaxia, everyone had the potential to cultivate. Yan Rufeng announced this news to find people with unique talents like Ye Lingtian among the millions. How many he would find, he didn’t know.

If many people applied, he could select more young ones, using the base as a reserve.

Meanwhile, Zhang Mingdong, who had already arrived in the Capital City, saw online that Yan Rufeng would stay there for three months. He laughed to himself, "Good for you, Yan Rufeng. Instead of me going to Zhongzhou to find you, you walked right into my trap. If you think you can return to Zhongzhou to recruit disciples, dream on..."

The next morning, Yan Rufeng boarded his flight to the Capital City, carrying the tokens from the Yan Family and the Mu Family.
