Chapter 944 1 Listen But
Ling Kongzi looked Lu Chen up and down with a deep gaze, as if to penetrate his soul, and then nodded slightly.
However, just when Lu Chen felt uncomfortable,
Ling Kongzi suddenly flashed and turned into a stream of light, appearing in front of Lu Chen in an instant.
Then, a ball of brilliant immortal energy condensed in his hand, and he slapped it directly towards Lu Chen's chest.
If he was hit, Lu Chen would be dead.
The sudden change made Lu Chen feel nervous even though he had been prepared.
However, he did not panic, but instead practiced the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue, quickly mobilizing the rich immortal energy in his body, and raised his hand to strike out with a palm to meet Ling Kongzi's attack.
The two forces collided in the air, causing a dull sound, followed by a mysterious ripple that spread throughout the hall.
After a brief confrontation, Lu Chen took several steps back before he could steady himself. There was no change on his face, except for a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Because he found that although Ling Kongzi's attack was fierce, he did not use his full strength. He thought that the other party was deliberately testing him.
However, after Ling Kongzi put away his attack, he looked at Lu Chen with more appreciation, and then smiled and said:
“Yes, your realm is indeed in the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, but the immortal essence in your body is extremely strong, even not inferior to any strong person in the late stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm.
It seems that the Zhang family's affairs must be related to you."
After saying this, Ling Kongzi saw Lu Chen frowning, and knew that he had misunderstood, so he immediately said:
"But don't worry. The Zhang family members have been killed. I have already dealt with the matter for you. You just need to practice with peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face immediately became humble again:
"Thank you, Master. I will work harder in the future."
Ling Kongzi saw that Lu Chen's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, and he had a general understanding of his character, and then he went straight to the point:
"Lu Chen, I still have some questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully. First of all, where did the incarnation talisman in your hand come from?"
When Lu Chen heard this, his expression did not change much, as if he had expected the Sect Master to ask this question. He pondered for a moment and replied respectfully:
"Replying to the Sect Master, the incarnation talisman was obtained by me by chance from the talisman jade slip given to me by Elder Li Wenfu."
Upon hearing this, Ling Kongzi raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his gaze to Elder Li Wenfu who was standing beside him.
Elder Li Wenfu was embarrassed when he saw this, but he calmed down and said,
"Master, this matter is indeed related to me. Lu Chen once asked me about the art of talismans. I saw that he was gifted, especially in the art of making talismans.
So he gave him the jade slip of talismans that he had studied for many years. Unexpectedly, he actually realized the talisman of external incarnation from it. "
After hearing this, Ling Kongzi looked back and forth between Li Wenfu and Lu Chen, as if he was weighing their statements.
Finally, he nodded and said calmly:
“Elder Li Wenfu, you have a deep understanding of the art of talismans, and this is obvious to everyone in the sect.
The fact that Lu Chen was able to comprehend such a profound talisman technique from your talisman jade slips is enough to show that he has extraordinary talent."
Having said this, Ling Kongzi paused, and then continued:
"As far as I know, Lu Chen has not yet become a disciple of any elder, and Elder Li has a close relationship with Lu Chen.
In my opinion, why don't Elder Li accept Lu Chen as his personal disciple, so that we can carry forward the art of talisman making in our sect."
Upon hearing this, the other elders understood Ling Kongzi's intention almost immediately and tried to persuade the two of them.
However, Elder Li Wenfu was embarrassed when he saw this, because in his opinion, with Lu Chen's outstanding talent, he was not qualified to accept him as a disciple.
Seeing this, Lu Chen on the side knew what the sect master was up to. After weighing the pros and cons, he immediately pretended to be flattered and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master. I am willing to take Elder Li as my teacher."
After saying this, Lu Chen did not hesitate and knelt on his knees to pay homage to Li Wenfu as his apprentice.
Li Wenfu was stunned at first when he saw this, then he immediately smiled and said several good words in a row, with joy flashing in his eyes. Then he raised his hand and shot out a stream of immortal energy, gently helping Lu Chen up.
Seeing that Lu Chen was so sensible, Ling Kongzi looked at him with admiration. Upon seeing this, the other elders bowed to Elder Li Wenfu and congratulated him. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
However, just as everyone was immersed in the harmonious atmosphere, Lu Chen's body suddenly turned into a puff of smoke and instantly dissipated into the air, and then a familiar talisman floated into the hall.
For a moment, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After the elders reacted, they all looked surprised, and Ling Kongzi's face was even more uncertain.
"This is..." Ling Kongzi's eyes fixed, and he immediately understood. His face darkened as he said, "So this kid is trying to be clever with us again. When the time comes, it will naturally dissipate into a talisman."
Elder Li Wenfu was also slightly startled, then he gave a bitter smile and explained, "Sect Master, this Lu Chen is indeed extremely talented, and his use of the incarnation talisman is even more amazing. Please don't punish him."
Ling Kongzi nodded upon hearing this, and then said in a deep voice:
“Although this is disrespectful, considering his status and ability, I will not pursue it for now.
However, this kid has a bad temper, so Elder Li needs to discipline him strictly.
In addition, I order him to hand over one thousand incarnation talismans within one month, otherwise I will investigate today’s matter to the end.”
As he was talking, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps at the entrance of the hall. Then, Lu Chen hurriedly walked into the hall, and then said apologetically:
"I am late, and I apologize for the offense. I hope the Sect Master, Master, and the elders will forgive me."
Everything in the hall before, although Lu Chen cast the incarnation talisman,
But Lu Chen knew everything clearly, which was one of the magical effects of the incarnation talisman.
Ling Kongzi raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this, but did not get angry. He just asked in a slightly stern tone:
"Lu Chen, do you admit your guilt?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen knew that he was in the wrong, not to mention that the headmaster had helped him to settle the Zhang family's affairs, so he bowed and explained sincerely:
"The disciple acknowledges his crime, and I beg the Sect Master to punish him."
Seeing Lu Chen's sincere attitude, Ling Kongzi softened his tone a little, but still with a bit of majesty:
"Since you have admitted your mistake, I will punish you to carve a thousand incarnation talismans within one month. Do you have any objection?"
Lu Chen's heart trembled, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face, and quickly agreed: "Disciple understands, I will complete the task on time, please rest assured, Sect Master, but..."
When Ling Kongzi heard Lu Chen say "but", his brows could not help but slightly frowned...
