Chapter 207: Chapter 134: Far Beyond Expectations

The woman leading the Yuqing Lineage surprisingly glanced sideways at a young boy, sizing him up multiple times, causing many to feel astonished and involuntarily look in the same direction.

"He seems to be called Qin Ming, from Chixia City," someone whispered.

Many were amazed; they were familiar with the giant cities of the world, and Chixia City was certainly not famous, seeming rather remote.

Qin Ming smiled and nodded, regardless of whether the other party would respond, as long as he maintained his manners.

The woman was radiant, her smile brilliant, and she also nodded in acknowledgment toward this side.

The people around were surprised, whispering among themselves.

Were these two old acquaintances, or was it that this boy from a humble place was so extraordinary that he had caught the attention of the leading lady of the Yuqing Lineage?

Her name was Lu Yuzhi, a mutant who two years ago had defeated many masters with terrifying power, although her influence had been minimized by others.

"Is this senior sister very famous?"

"Yes, an astonishing mutant lady, it is said that someone injured her friend and provoked her, then she went on to challenge and severely damage multiple seed level masters from the Outer World and Esoteric Buddhism."

Only a few people on the scene knew this because her achievements were deliberately downplayed by the thousand-year-old Lu Family, as they didn’t want Lu Yuzhi to attract too much attention.

Qin Ming was surprised, not expecting to see her here.

He and Lu Yuzhi were not familiar, having only met a few times. He had heard that she possessed "Divine Wisdom," and it was thought she would join Esoteric Buddhism, not expecting her to become a disciple of the Yuqing Lineage.

However, Qin Ming soon understood.

Qingtian, Six Imperial, Yuqing, etc., each possessed the legendary Heavenly Light Force; in the path of rebirth, they were among the few Taoist orders that the Outer World and Esoteric Buddhism feared.

Despite these ancestral courts’ disciples eventually facing slow cultivation and bleak prospects requiring perseverance over time, they were indeed very powerful initially.

Qin Ming speculated that Lu Yuzhi wanted to use the Yuqing Power as her means of protecting the path, and she was also on the path of becoming a deity with Esoteric Buddhism.

Her divine wisdom was profound, and entering those secrets of Esoteric Buddhism wasn’t difficult for her.

The Yuqing Lineage was very strict in choosing disciples; without mutant qualifications, it was hard to receive true inheritance, so naturally, she did not want to miss this opportunity.

Lu Yuzhi walked towards Cao Wuji, her robes exquisite, her eyebrows and eyes picturesque, wearing a slight smile, exuding confidence and charm, especially distinguished.

Cao Wuji had previously been surrounded by people, like stars around the moon, an absolute center, but now, seeing this glowing woman, he immediately went forward to meet her, modest and humble.

Because he knew who she was, his own status as a mutant was not unusual anymore.

"Would you like to join the Yuqing Lineage?" Lu Yuzhi said with a smile.

She herself came from a noble family, was a high disciple of Yuqing, and was also on the path of Esoteric Buddhism. Although her smile was gentle, it carried a significant aura.

The present Cao Wuji, in front of her, had no advantages at all, so he immediately addressed her as senior sister and expressed his willingness to join Yuqing.

He was a decisive person, not hesitating at all, agreeing straightforwardly.

Around them, people from Chunyang Palace, Wenxin Academy, and Five Elements Palace could only watch in frustration; even if they wanted to pull this mutant away, could they compete with the Yuqing Lineage?

And none of them was a match for this woman; even going together, they would probably be crushed.

After a brief silence, many people went over to congratulate Cao Wuji.

Lu Yuzhi’s expression was gentle as she informed: "I must clarify that even after you go to Yuqing, you will still need to pass some tests."

Cao Wuji nodded in understanding; how could learning the legendary Heavenly Light Force be easy? Even as a mutant, he needed to be scrutinized!

In the Purple Bamboo Forest, the atmosphere grew lively.

Many people gathered around the two mutants, some congratulating Cao Wuji, others hoping to join the Yuqing Lineage, wanting to understand the qualifications needed.

Cao Wuji was very handsome and quite sociable, making the few young people from the Yuqing Lineage present there quite fond of him.

Lu Yuzhi was radiant and impressive, nodding with a smile, having a good impression of him.

Some around were contemplating; it was extremely rare for the Yuqing Lineage to actively descend the mountain to recruit disciples.

A few realized that the Great Opening Era might truly not be far off, with even an ancient Taoist tradition like Yuqing starting to expand and actively recruit top disciples.

Lu Yuzhi walked towards Qin Ming, drawing attention again.

"Quite surprising, I did not expect to see you here," a spring breeze fluttered through, and Lu Yuzhi’s robes billowed.

Her figure was elongated, her hair lightly lifted, she was dazzling. Not only was she a noble lady of a noble family, but she was also a Yuqing disciple and following a dual cultivation path, shining brighter and more splendid than before.

"Miss Lu, long time no see, even more radiant than before," Qin Ming spoke.

The Purple Bamboo swayed gently in the wind, emitting a faint jade light; the scenery here was outstanding.

Lu Yuzhi’s eyebrows arching like distant mountains, she asked with a smile, "Have you come here to join a particular dojo?"

Qin Ming nodded, saying: "Yes, I’m currently striving for my future, having traveled specially from a remote place to Jinrui City."

Lu Yuzhi said, "If you want to join the Yuqing Lineage, you need to undergo various assessments. Would you like to register?"

Qin Ming was very interested in the Yuqing Lineage and asked, "What requirements are needed to join, and how long will it take to practice the legendary Yuqing Power?"

Lu Yuzhi smiled, saying: "Yuqing’s assessment is very strict. The first step is to become a Registered Disciple, which requires certain intellectual abilities."

She and Qin Ming briefly chatted, informing him of some details, then she moved towards several fellow disciples.
