Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 910: Chapter 341: Celestial Master, Lei Jun

"Of course I know that." Tang Xiaotang snorted softly: "But ultimately, it depends on the person who sits in this position."

Wang Guiyuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly at these words.

Lei Jun then called over his first disciple: "You boy have also made quite a name for yourself now."

This time, the Tang Imperial Court bestowed a special reward specifically for Lei Jun, choosing a rather unique spiritual object.

Its name is the Green Light Immortal Bamboo.

It is a rare spiritual seed.

Yuan Mobai’s background is no longer a secret in the Great Tang Realm, but he usually maintains a human form, so no one brings up similar matters to his face.

Zhuo Baojie, on the other hand, is completely the opposite.

Thus, when rewarding Lei Jun, the Tang Imperial Court specially prepared the Green Light Immortal Bamboo, as a token to also honor the sole direct disciple, Real Person Lei.

"The disciple’s meager knowledge is not worth mentioning, all thanks to Master’s teaching. This time, it’s the Imperial Court’s reward for Master’s accomplishments."

Xiaoxiong was solemn and proper, with his hands neatly folded in front of him, looking serious.

But with the next sentence, he couldn’t hold back: "Master, if you’re busy and need any help, the disciple can take care of cultivating this spiritual seed..."

Lei Jun reached out and grabbed his first disciple, ruffling his hair: "It’s your lucky day."

Zhuo Baojie grinned widely, his serious expression from before nowhere to be seen.

To be honest, he is diligent and makes swift progress in his practice.

However, he found it more effective to urge his Master than his own efforts; twenty years of hard work saw him rise from elder disciple to high merit elder disciple, soon to become a direct disciple of the Celestial Master.

Those in the know wouldn’t fuss, but those unaware might think he changed three Masters in just twenty years...

However, despite his appetite, Xiaoxiong remains sensible.

Compared to the Green Light Immortal Bamboo, his current priority as Lei Jun’s direct disciple is the upcoming Celestial Master’s succession ceremony.

Approaching the New Year, guests outside Dragon Tiger Mountain began to arrive one after another.

Zhuo Baojie needs to represent his Master to welcome and farewell visitors.

Through years of training, he has become thoroughly familiar with the etiquette associated with such occasions.

As time goes on and he grows older, aside from facing a handful of people like Lei Jun, Zhuo Baojie interacts with others with rectitude and clarity, gradually cultivating a presence that others quietly admire, acknowledging the emergence of a young master with exceptional disciples from a notable teacher.

Due to the New Year, most guests, other than those from the Taoist Talisman Sect, will arrive after the New Year.

Those visiting the mountain before the year-end are mostly individuals from various branches of the Taoist Talisman Sect outside Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Everyone arrives before the year-end to first participate in Tang Xiaotang’s last New Year ceremony hosted as the Celestial Master, then stay on the mountain to attend the official Celestial Master succession ceremony.

"Disciple Zhuo Huajie, greets the venerable Master."

Zhuo Baojie led a middle-aged Taoist wearing a blue robe inside: "My Master is waiting for you."

The newcomer is the Sect Leader of Tianxu Sect, Tu Guangyu, who nodded with a smile and followed Zhuo Baojie inside.

Lei Jun greeted the guest: "Master Tu."

Tu Guangyu returned the courtesy: "Congratulations, Elder Lei."

Lei Jun: "Master is too polite. My teacher is currently entertaining Master Mu and Master Lu from Purple Cloud Sect, and will invite you for a chat later."

Tu Guangyu smiled and said: "No rush, no rush."

With the transition between the old and new Celestial Masters, the Tianxu Sect has prepared a gift.

The Tianxu Sect disciples accompanying Tu Guangyu to the Dragon Tiger Ancestral Court are not strangers to here, and will later send gifts to the Celestial Master Mansion Treasure Pavilion.

Some of Tu Guangyu’s personal gifts were handed over to Zhuo Baojie.

After bowing to Lei Jun and Tu Guangyu, Zhuo Baojie withdrew, along with the Tianxu Sect cultivators, guiding them to their accommodation.

With only Lei Jun and Tu Guangyu left, Tu Guangyu took out a Miniature Bag and presented it to Lei Jun: "These are a gesture and greetings from Xia and the others, which have been entrusted to me to deliver."

Lei Jun accepted it calmly: "Xia, Xia Qing, and the others were kind."

The Yellow Sky Sect has essentially become history under the management of Xia Xiushan and Xia Qing, and the Xia Family no longer faces direct threats.

However, they are more low-key than before, changing their names, relocating the entire family to remote areas, to re-establish, settle, and thrive.

Lei Jun and the Celestial Master Mansion have a basic understanding of their situation.

Although Huangtian’s return to the sect has now happened, the mansion remains indifferent for the time being, neither hindering nor inquiring further.

"Regarding Purple Cloud Sect, Lu Zhaoqing, Master Lu’s situation..." Tu Guangyu inquired with Lei Jun.

Lei Jun: "Master Lu may be within the next one or two years."

Thus, it’s rare for him to return to the Dragon Tiger Ancestral Court for this grand event of the Celestial Master’s succession ceremony.

Tu Guangyu nodded gently: "Alright, with so many guests, Lei Master Nephew, you must be busy. Don’t worry about me, I’ll take care of things with Yuan Junior Brother, Mu Senior Brother, and Lu Junior Brother."

Lei Jun: "Master Tu, this way please."

Later on, Zhao Xuan from Yuhang School also returned to the Dragon Tiger Ancestral Court with her disciples to witness the event.

Among the gifts she brought, there was one item that caught Lei Jun’s eye.

"This Tianhua Meteoric Iron was discovered by our disciples by chance," Zhao Xuan explained with a smile, "and I brought it back along with others, considered as a courtesy gift, forgive me for the laugh."

Lei Jun’s fingers glided over the dark refined metal with a faint red glow: "Zhao Master, you’re too kind."

With his current comprehension and cultivation level, multiple ideas surged in Lei Jun’s mind instantly.

This Tianhua Meteoric Iron could be refined with the Seven-Star Sword.

It could also be attempted to be refined with the Great Celestial Mirror.

Or, it could be refined with Shenxiao Refined Gold.

There are endless possibilities to ponder in the future, without rushing for now...

Lei Jun exchanged pleasantries with Zhao Xuan for a while, and after she bid farewell to leave for the accommodation, Zhuo Baojie came to report:
