Chapter 58: Chapter 58: The 15-Year-Old Elder of Mount Shu

The Record Keeping Pavilion, a managing Nascent Soul Realm Elder along with several Golden Core Realm disciples, was tallying Mount Shu members’ cultivation progress and monthly salary expenditures from the past year.

“Last year, our Mount Shu witnessed the emergence of one Dao Palace Realm Elder and two Nascent Soul Realm Elders.”

“Ever since the Sect Leader ordered a doubling of the monthly stipends, the pace of cultivation for our Mount Shu members has clearly quickened.”

“That’s only natural, but the cost is that our Mount Shu’s store of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is also being depleted at double the rate.”

“Elder Zhang, Elder Lu from Qingyun Peak and his disciples are here for a visit.”

“Elder Lu from Qingyun Peak? Quick, I must personally greet him!”

This Elder Zhang of the Record Keeping Pavilion was one of the twelve Elders in charge of Mount Shu, with a cultivation at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Lu Changsheng was a Dao Palace Realm Elder, who had become famous in a battle at the Six Paths Conference three years ago, and he was already a celebrity in Mount Shu, with every Nascent Soul Realm Elder looking up to him when they saw him.

“Why would Elder Lu personally come to our Record Keeping Pavilion? Could it be that there was a mistake, and the cultivation resources allocated to Qingyun Peak were insufficient? If that’s indeed the case, I’ll make sure it’s rectified immediately.”

Elder Zhang’s face changed upon seeing Lu Changsheng arrive with a little devil, thinking that the Record Keeping Pavilion might not have provided enough cultivation resources for Qingyun Peak, angering the other party.

Lu Changsheng’s second disciple, Lian, also had a bit of a reputation in Mount Shu, albeit an infamous one…

“No, that’s not it. I’ve come to register my disciple.”

Lu Changsheng took the tea handed to him by a Record Keeping Pavilion’s disciple, savoring it slowly, unhurried.

“But hasn’t your disciple already been registered? She is Elder Lu’s disciple, after all, and should receive treatment equal to that of a Golden Core Inner Sect Disciple.”

“Ahem, disciple, show them your current level of cultivation.”

“Yes.”

Lian suddenly unleashed all of her cultivation, her aura surged dramatically, causing the entire Record Keeping Pavilion building to shake violently.

“Nascent Soul Realm!!!”

Elder Zhang, as well as the Mount Shu disciples, other Elders present for affairs, and disciples, were all taken aback, staring at Lian as if she were a monster.

She was only a few years old, yet she had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm!

The Nascent Soul Realm was a level of cultivation only Mount Shu’s Elders possessed!

“Could it be that this old man is dreaming?”

Elder Zhang wondered if he was delirious, as Lian had only been at Mount Shu for eight years, and now she was in the Nascent Soul Realm?

“My disciple has reached the Nascent Soul Realm, so I’ve brought her to register, from now on she is entitled to the treatment of an Elder. If there is a mountain peak available in Mount Shu, it would be best if one could be allocated to my disciple.”

Lu Changsheng had anticipated the shock of the Record Keeping Pavilion’s people, so he himself was the very picture of composure.

“Very well, someone fetch Lian’s file and update it to reflect her status as a Nascent Soul Realm Elder. Starting from next month, provide her with cultivation resources at the level of a Nascent Soul Realm Elder.”

“As for assigning a mountain peak and cave dwelling, that must be reported to the Sect Leader, who will decide which peak to allocate.”

Elder Zhang took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

If he remembered correctly, Lu Changsheng’s disciple was only 15 years old.

To become an Elder of Mount Shu at just 15 years old!

The Mount Shu disciples present had been cultivating for anywhere from a dozen to a couple hundred years and were still disciples of Mount Shu; they might not become Elders in their lifetimes.

“According to our Mount Shu’s records, only the Ancestral Master and three peerless geniuses entered the Nascent Soul Realm before the age of 15. Elder Lu’s disciple can be ranked fifth in history. I never imagined that one day, I would actually meet a talent within the top five in history.”

Thinking of the records of Mount Shu, Elder Zhang felt a profound sense of wonder.

The Ancestral Master who founded Mount Shu was naturally a once-in-a- lifetime genius among geniuses, and the other three peers whose talents surpassed Elder Lian’s eventually became Sect Leaders of Mount Shu as well.

Could it be…

Impossible.

Elder Zhang couldn’t imagine what kind of chaos would ensue if Lian, who was always stirring up trouble, became the Sect Leader of Mount Shu.

“Lian doesn’t want a cave residence, Lian wants to stay with Master at Qingyun Peak forever.”

After some thought, Lian felt that having an exclusive mountain peak was so dull and uninteresting. It was better to stay at Qingyun Peak, where her master would periodically perform the Power-infusing Initiation and bestow treasures, and she had the company of her senior brothers and sisters like Lin Qingzhi, Mo Huazhi, and Chen Yao.

“You will always need your own cave residence, but you can stay at Qingyun Peak anytime you want.”

“Mm.”

“Now that everything has been settled, we will take our leave.”

“Elder Lu, and… Elder Lian, please take your time.”

Elder Zhang of the Record Keeping Pavilion and a group of Mount Shu disciples found it awkward to address Lian, who was only 15, as an Elder.

“Alas, I have cultivated in Mount Shu for over two hundred years, and I’ve only reached the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Compared to her, it seems like I’ve lived these years in vain.”

Elder Zhang watched the retreating figures of Lu Changsheng and Lian, shaking his head helplessly.

Gifted with the Martial King Divine Physique, her cultivation speed was astonishing; mortals simply couldn’t compare.

“Wait, Elder Lu’s cultivation is unfathomable, even standing still, nature’s spiritual energy gathers around him. It’s truly astonishing, did Elder Lu gain new insights after the end of the Six Paths Conference? I wonder what his current level of cultivation is?”

Elder Zhang’s attention was once again drawn to Lu Changsheng, feeling that there was something extraordinary about him.

The appearance of a 15-year-old Elder shookMount Shu.

Although Lian was not the first such young Elder in Mount Shu, she was the first 15-year-old Elder in nearly thirty thousand years!

At Zhiyue Peak, Elder Zhao Wuyan of the Dao Palace Realm of Mount Shu was stunned like a wooden chicken upon hearing this news.

Firstly, five years ago at the Mount Shu Disciple Conference, Lian, the disciple of Lu Changsheng, defeated his disciple Yang Ren. And now, five years later, she had become an Elder of Mount Shu directly.

In the span of five years, Yang Ren, under the guidance of Zhao Wuyan, managed to progress from the first layer to the third layer of the Golden Core Realm.

It was true that Lian’s talent was astonishing, but at most, she had only been a disciple for eight years.

Comparing himself to Lu Changsheng in terms of mentoring disciples, Zhao Wuyan felt there was a huge gap.

Secondly, Zhao Wuyan was frustrated that he was not the first to learn of this sensational news.

It was hard to accept.

“The Martial King Divine Physique of the Huang Tribe really is formidable, and Changsheng has a way with mentoring disciples. Fire Lotus Peak, the cave residence of the ninth Sect Leader, has been vacant until now; I think we should assign Fire Lotus Peak to this disciple of Changsheng’s.”

At the back mountain of Mount Shu, Sect Leader Taiyuan after hearing the report from Elder Zhang of the Record Keeping Pavilion about Lian’s promotion to Elder, opened his eyes and made the decision.

Elder Zhang was stunned upon hearing this: “But Sect Leader, Fire Lotus Peak is located at the back mountain, and the back mountain is where the Supreme Elders engage in secluded cultivation. According to tradition, the cave residences for the younger generation of Elders should be at the front mountain…”

Mount Shu was divided into a front and a back mountain. Lu Changsheng’s Qingyun Peak and Zhao Wuyan’s Zhiyue Peak were at the front mountain, serving as residences for the younger generation of Elders, even the cave residence of the eldest senior brother, Li Changye, was no exception. Whereas Bimoon Peak and Fire Lotus Peak were located at the back mountain, designated for Supreme Elders.

“Fire Lotus Peak is not an ordinary cave residence… Just do as I say.”

“Yes.”

Elder Zhang didn’t understand the Sect Leader’s intention, but since it was the Sect Leader’s wish, what could he, a Nascent Soul Realm Elder, say more.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng, taking Lian back to Qingyun Peak, began to exploit the system once more.
