Primordial Emperor

"Master intends to take me as a disciple?" Wang Tong showed a happy expression upon seeing Lin Chen coming to support him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping through his heart.

In the words he just said, which one suggested he wanted to take Wang Tong as a disciple?

Joking aside, although Lin Chen's mastery of the spiritual formation far surpassed Wang Tong's, in terms of cultivation, he was far behind him.

Wang Tong is a strong practitioner of the Creation Realm Eighth Layer, while Lin Chen, even if he unleashed all his cards, could at most contend with a strong practitioner of the Creation Realm Third or Fourth Level.

One must know, after breaking through to the Creation Realm, the gap between realms is not just a simple numerical difference; being one level higher, the combat power can multiply several times over.

Therefore, for a regular martial artist, Lin Chen's mere cultivation of the Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer wouldn't even amount to an ant in the eyes of a formidable practitioner like Wang Tong.

However, in Wang Tong's heart, he felt no shame in apprenticing himself to Lin Chen, for Lin Chen could indeed be his teacher in terms of the spiritual formation.

Though he didn't know why such a young Lin Chen had such profound knowledge in spiritual formations, Wang Tong could guess that Lin Chen either had heaven-defying opportunities or came from a powerful background, such as the legendary Ten Ancient Families.

It's known that those ancient families have always been legendary existences with strong practitioners like clouds, and it's said even the gatekeepers are of Creation Realm cultivation, which is incredibly powerful.

Wang Tong dared not inquire about Lin Chen's origins.

After all, practicing the Mysteries of the Spiritual Formation requires talent, resources, and heritage; none of these can be lacking.

For Lin Chen to have such mastery in spiritual formations, he must not be an ordinary person.

Thus, to inquire about Lin Chen's identity and background is akin to courting death.

He dared not ask much about Lin Chen's intentions; what he could do was to curry favor with Lin Chen and have him take him as a disciple.

If he could get Lin Chen's guidance, he would break through the spiritual formation bottleneck that had troubled him for nearly a thousand years.

The thought of his attainment in spiritual formations breaking into the next realm made Wang Tong excited beyond measure.

"Senior, please don't joke. With my insignificant skills, how could I have the qualifications to be your master," Lin Chen looked at Wang Tong, waved his hand immediately, and refused.

It's a joke to take such a strong practitioner as a disciple, for someone like Lin Chen who always prefers to keep a low profile, it's not a good thing.

Moreover, even if he took a strong practitioner like Wang Tong as a disciple, he might not truly control him.

"Master's mastery in the Mysteries of the Spiritual Formation is unparalleled and certainly worthy of being a disciple's master," Wang Tong said, seeing that Lin Chen still refused to agree, immediately knelt down again, refusing to stand up.

Lin Chen saw Wang Tong's attitude, feeling utterly helpless.

He then turned his gaze to Qiu Yue.

Had not Qiu Yue always been targeting him? Now might be the right time to use her as a shield against Wang Tong's apprenticeship desires.

"Senior, you might not know, even if I wanted to agree to accept you as a disciple, I'm afraid Miss Qiu Yue would not agree, after all, she's always had big opinions against me," Lin Chen looked at Qiu Yue and said.

He intended to use Qiu Yue to cut off Wang Tong's hopes.

"This is easy, after I apprentice under you, Qiu Yue will be your disciple's descendant, and you will be her grandmaster."

"As her grandmaster, how dare she have opinions against you?"

"Qiu Yue, come over and pay respects to your grandmaster."

"By the way, Xiaoqin, you come over too, to pay respects to your grandmaster."

"Quickly kneel, all of you kneel down."

Wang Tong looked at Qiu Yue, then turned his gaze to Zhuang Xiaoqin, asking her to come over and pay respects to Lin Chen as well.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin felt like they were dreaming.

Their master actually asked them to kneel down and pay respects to Lin Chen.

As for paying respects to a guy in the Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer as a grandmaster, if this got out, people would die laughing and wouldn't believe it.

Yet, this was the reality in front of them.

The first reaction of Zhuang Xiaoqin and Qiu Yue was to refuse.

Especially Qiu Yue, not too long ago, she had a conflict with Lin Chen and couldn't wait to cut him into pieces, yet now her master wanted her to kneel and pay respects to Lin Chen as the grandmaster.

"Junior Qiu Yue, pays... pays respects to the grandmaster!"

Qiu Yue walked up to Lin Chen, though she had ten thousand unwillingness in her heart, but it was the master's order, she had to comply.

After kneeling and paying respects, Qiu Yue felt like her divine soul had left her body.

Looking at Lin Chen before her, Zhuang Xiaoqin was also extremely unwilling to pay respects to Lin Chen as her master.

Although Lin Chen's attainment in spiritual formations was indeed extraordinary, he was much younger, and his cultivation was only in the Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer, how could she accept this?

However, despite her reluctance, as her master had already knelt, how could she not comply?

"Disciple Xiang Zhuang Xiaoqin, pays respects to the grandmaster!"

Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at Lin Chen and spoke.

Looking at the three kneeling before him, Lin Chen felt like he was dreaming, but he knew this was definitely not a dream; he was a little frantic inside.

If these words got out, who would believe them? Half an hour ago, he was still the junior of Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin, but now he had turned into their grandmaster.

"Ahem, senior might not know, in this sect, accepting disciples pays attention to the relationship through ceremony, if you can offer enough ceremony gifts, perhaps this apprenticeship can succeed."

Lin Chen looked at the three kneeling in front of him, had a sudden inspiration, looked at Wang Tong, and smiled.

Lin Chen thought, showing such a money-grubbing appearance of himself, surely Wang Tong would see his true nature and give up the idea of apprenticing, right?

As soon as Lin Chen said this, Qiu Yue indeed criticized him in her heart, but now she could only think about it in her heart.

Lin Chen thought, a big figure like Wang Tong, surely he wouldn't apprentice under someone who values money over life, right?

"Ceremony relation?"

"I wonder, master, how many ceremony gifts are required?"

Listening to Lin Chen's words, Wang Tong felt anxious, fearing his ceremony gifts wouldn't suffice, his mind never went to whether Lin Chen was money-minded.

"One million low-grade spirit crystals!"

Lin Chen looked at Wang Tong, thought for a moment, and immediately said.

This is no small amount; even a strong practitioner like Wang Tong might not be able to come up with it.

Lin Chen thought, surely Wang Tong wouldn't bankrupt himself to get spirit crystals to pay for apprenticeship, right?
