Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Selection Begins Tomorrow!

"Master, this name is great!"

Lu Chen was still thinking about whether to use the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to look for Zhu Chongjiu, but the voice of the spear spirit resounded in his mind.

He dismissed the idea and replied with a smile, "Then from now on, I shall call you Wen Tian!"

"Thank you, Master, for giving me a name!"

Wen Tian was overjoyed as well. He was originally a formation spirit, and if it weren’t for meeting Lu Chen, he might have been trapped in an incomplete Five Element formation like a little monkey for all eternity.

Now, Lu Chen had given him a brand-new hope.

"I too hope you keep getting stronger and better."

Lu Chen’s eyes twinkled with amusement as he said, "I’m going out to try, to see what changes there will be when I wield the spear with the new you!"

The original Heavenly Inquiry Spear, other than being refined from mysterious iron and its tremendous weight, was almost useless.

Now that it had been tempered by a Core Formation Stage practitioner like Zhu Chongjiu, Lu Chen inevitably wondered if it could pierce a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator!

Just thinking about it made him somewhat excited.

However, if he really encountered a Nascent Soul, Lu Chen would certainly not dare to try it.

After all, he was still at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Stepping out of the cave dwelling, Lu Chen went onto the open ground and performed a dance with the Heavenly Inquiry Spear Art, indeed feeling quite different.

"Now, within the Foundation Establishment Stage, no one can stand against my spear!"

His eyebrows narrowed, revealing an extremely confident expression.

It was at that moment.

A figure flew from the top of the valley and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye!

Walking on air, it was the Core Formation Stage!

"Disciple Lu Chen greets the elder!"

Lu Chen quickly bowed.

"Are you the apprentice that Ninth Junior Brother just took?"

Xu Taiping sized up Lu Chen from head to toe with some surprise in his heart. Wasn’t it said that he had a Five Spirit Root? Why then did Lu Chen’s aura of fire seem so strong?

"Indeed, I am."

Lu Chen, unsure of Xu Taiping’s intent, maintained his respect.

"Hmm," Xu Taiping narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the cave dwelling, saying, "Is your master still inside?"

"Elder, right after assisting me with my practice, my master exhausted his Spiritual Power and has gone into seclusion to recover."

Xu Taiping frowned slightly, muttering to himself, "It seems Zhu Chongjiu really values this disciple this time, otherwise, why would he care so much! A Five Spirit Root..."

He glanced at Lu Chen and took out a wooden talisman from his bosom, tossing it over and saying, "The sect has decided, the selection will start tomorrow at noon. Come to my peak with this wooden talisman."

Lu Chen received the wooden talisman and saw a number written on it, seven.

"May I ask elder, are you Elder Seven?"

Xu Taiping had not yet introduced himself, so Lu Chen needed to confirm.

"Correct, I am Elder Xu Taiping, my peak is called Zhaixing Peak. Do not go to the wrong place, lest you waste the opportunity your master fought hard to acquire!"

As Xu Taiping mentioned this, he couldn’t help but recall the criticism he had received from his own master at the sect master’s cave dwelling.

Since Danyang Zi had already taken notice of Lu Chen, Xu Taiping dared not plot against him anymore.

Though resentful, he did not dare to show it.

After completing his task, he turned and left.

Lu Chen was left alone, fiddling with the wooden talisman in his hand.

"This is actually a Magic Artifact as well, quite interesting."

With nothing else to do, Lu Chen naturally observed the wooden talisman with the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique.

The wooden grains on it were naturally occurring, enhanced perhaps by inscriptions added during later refining, turning the talisman into a unique Magic Artifact!

"Mother said that father’s chains had inscriptions engraved on them as well. I wonder if I can gain some insights by understanding the principles of this wooden talisman?"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, speaking to himself. However, he then thought that since Zhu Chongjiu trusted him so much, he might as well ask for his advice.

"There’s no rush for now. The selection for Haotian Secret Realm is tomorrow. It’s better to get familiar with the Heavenly Inquiry Spear first!"

Lu Chen slid the wooden talisman into his belt, lifted the long spear, and resumed his cultivation.

Only when the full moon rose high did Zhu Chongjiu come out of the cave dwelling. Seeing that Lu Chen was still practicing, the long spear dancing furiously in his hands, he lightly coughed twice.

"Master!"

Lu Chen was delighted inside and immediately stopped, holding the wooden talisman in his hand as he walked up to Zhu Chongjiu.

"Master, Elder Seven has been here, saying that the selection begins at noon tomorrow!"

Zhu Chongjiu was taken aback and blurted out, "So soon? Where? At Zhaixing Peak?"

"Yes, Zhaixing Peak."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s confirmation, Zhu Chongjiu’s expression sank.
