Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

"Hmm?"

"So many Divine Power martial artists?"

Lu Changsheng was slightly startled.

As soon as he sensed it, he realized that there were a total of thirteen Divine Power Realm martial artists in the grand hall.

True Master Xuankettle smiled and explained, "Ten years ago, when Void Spirit Mountain opened, our Pot Immortal Sect was unprepared and obtained very little Transformation Pill Liquid. As a result, now that we have Golden Core True Masters at the pinnacle of their realm, they are unable to condense their cores into infants."

"Therefore, this time we recruited more powerful martial artists. Including Lu Zun, there are fifteen people, with one final person yet to arrive, who should be here in the next few days."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Fifteen Divine Power Realm experts—this time, Pot Immortal Sect must have invested heavily.

Indeed, the more Transformation Pill Liquid, the better.

"Lu Zun of the Heavenly Sect of Sacred Lands enters the hall!"

True Master Xuankettle called out loudly.

"Swoosh."

Immediately, countless gazes fell on Lu Changsheng.

To be addressed as "Zun," a martial artist had to be a Martial Venerable—undoubtedly a figure of remarkable power!

"A Martial Venerable!"

"This Lu Zun seems a bit familiar..."

"Lu Zun? Could it be Lu Zun from Heavenly Saint City? It is said he slayed Sword Master Chen Peng."

"Ah, now I remember! Heavenly Saint City, so far away… But being capable of slaying Sword Master Chen Peng, his strength is undoubtedly extraordinary."

"This Lu Zun is personally greeted by True Master Xuankettle. Very unusual. When we arrived, no Golden Core True Master greeted us."

"I've already heard the news: Pot Immortal Sect offered Lu Zun five Spirit Stones for a single drop of Transformation Pill Liquid..."

The Divine Power Realm martial artists in attendance immediately narrowed their eyes, intensely fixated on Lu Changsheng.

One drop of Transformation Pill Liquid, five thousand Spirit Stones!

Everyone here had to venture into Void Spirit Mountain, risking their lives.

All were fighting over Transformation Pill Liquid—how could the pricing differ so starkly?

In fact, even for Martial Venerables, the typical offer ranged around four thousand Spirit Stones.

That was for renowned Martial Venerables.

If the Martial Venerable wasn't well-known, the offer might only be slightly over three thousand Spirit Stones.

Yet Lu Changsheng was given five thousand Spirit Stones!

"Lu Changsheng of the Heavenly Sect of Sacred Lands greets the Sect Master, esteemed True Masters, and fellow Daoists,"

Lu Changsheng said with a slight bow.

In the grand hall were Golden Core True Masters and Divine Power martial artists.

Each held an extraordinary status.

"Good, with Lu Zun here, this time's venture into Void Spirit Mountain is assured,"

The Sect Master of Pot Immortal Sect said with a smile.

Clearly, he had long familiarized himself with Lu Changsheng's capabilities.

He held great trust in Lu Changsheng.

This decision was entirely the Sect Master's call, investing greatly to secure Lu Changsheng's involvement.

After all, Li Guang had contacted many Immortal Sects before this.

Pot Immortal Sect wasn't the only party vying.

At this moment, one of the Divine Power martial artists abruptly rose and asked the Sect Master, "May I inquire, Sect Master, I've heard Pot Immortal Sect offered Lu Zun five thousand Spirit Stones per drop of Transformation Pill Liquid—is this true?"

As the words fell, the entire hall instantly went silent.

The Sect Master furrowed his brows slightly but still nodded and replied, "It's true."

"However, among those present, many have received varying offers."

"The discrepancy in price is determined by your respective strengths."

"Lu Zun is a Martial Venerable, a peerless Martial Venerable who even slew Sword Master Chen Peng. Furthermore, Lu Zun has cultivated Infinite Divine Power, his reputation soaring, unmatched by any Divine Power martial artist here."

"What's more, the pricing is set by our Pot Immortal Sect. If you feel dissatisfied with your offer, you are free to leave—we do not compel anyone."

The Sect Master of Pot Immortal Sect displayed a resolute attitude.

He firmly claimed responsibility for the pricing.

The Sect wasn't forcing anyone into joining the Void Spirit Mountain expedition.

The Sect Master made his stance very clear.

The Divine Power martial artist, his expression somewhat unpleasant, hesitated.

But to storm off in anger would be unwise.

After all, he still needed Spirit Stones.

"Forget it, I was being overly presumptuous."

He backed down.

From start to finish, Lu Changsheng hadn't uttered a single word.

Discontent from others was understandable.

The same drop of Transformation Pill Liquid fetched three thousand Spirit Stones for some, but Lu Changsheng obtained five thousand.

It appeared highly unfair.

But what truly constituted fairness?

Once Lu Changsheng entered Void Spirit Mountain, there might be significant chances for him to harvest vast amounts of Transformation Pill Liquid.

Could others compare?

"Lu Zun, please take a seat. One Daoist still hasn't arrived, but he should be here within these few days. Let's wait."

"Here are some details concerning Void Spirit Mountain. Lu Zun may look them over."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He then sat in the grand hall, reviewing the information on Void Spirit Mountain while silently waiting.

About three days later.

"Fire Cloud Venerable of the Flame Palace enters the hall!"

Once again, it was True Master Xuankettle's voice echoing in the hall.

"Swoosh."

All eyes turned toward the entrance of the hall.

A martial artist flew in from outside, emanating an overwhelmingly powerful aura.

As he entered the hall, even the ambient temperature seemed to rise significantly.

"Fire Cloud Venerable of Flame Palace. Who would've thought Pot Immortal Sect could invite Fire Cloud Venerable."

"Doesn't Fire Cloud Venerable lack Spirit Stones? Why would he join Pot Immortal Sect for the Void Spirit Mountain Transformation Pill Liquid struggle?"

"It's said Fire Cloud Venerable is constructing a Sacred Body. Creating a Sacred Body is no trivial matter, especially since Fire Cloud Venerable has mastered three Great Divine Powers. The three Great Divine Powers augment each other, terrifyingly strong. Among Martial Venerables, he's absolutely at the peak. For such a champion, forging a Sacred Body is monumentally challenging. Even the materials required for a Sacred Body must be exceedingly rare, likely difficult to gather. Maybe Pot Immortal Sect promised him materials for his Sacred Body?"

"Most likely. Otherwise, why would a peak Martial Venerable like Fire Cloud Venerable participate in the contest at Void Spirit Mountain?"

"Fire Cloud Venerable has slain nine Martial Venerables in the past, infamous and awe-inspiring across Sacred Lands. I wonder what price Pot Immortal Sect offered for Fire Cloud Venerable?"

Instantly, discussions erupted among the attendees.

Especially among the Divine Power Realm martial artists.

Each was curious about Fire Cloud Venerable's terms.

Of course, Fire Cloud Venerable likely didn't ask for Spirit Stones but rather rare materials for forging a Sacred Body.

They simply wished to see whether Pot Immortal Sect valued Fire Cloud Venerable or Lu Zun more.

"Hahaha, Fire Cloud Venerable has finally arrived."

"With Fire Cloud Venerable and Lu Zun together, this expedition to Void Spirit Mountain is as good as assured!"

The Sect Master of Pot Immortal Sect was evidently overjoyed.

Securing both Lu Changsheng and Fire Cloud Venerable had been no easy feat.

Especially since Fire Cloud Venerable had requested materials for forging his Sacred Body, not Spirit Stones.

Luckily, Pot Immortal Sect had profound resources and happened to possess what Fire Cloud Venerable needed.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to invite him.

Fire Cloud Venerable squinted slightly.

He took the seat beside Lu Changsheng.

"Lu Zun... Is this Lu Zun, the one who slew Sword Master Chen Peng of Heavenly Saint City?"

Fire Cloud Venerable suddenly asked.

Lu Changsheng nodded and said, "Indeed, I am."

Fire Cloud Venerable didn't display the competitive hostility seen earlier in the other Divine Power martial artists.

On the contrary, he seemed amicable, even proactively showing goodwill.

"Lu Zun, I've long admired your reputation."

"I hear Lu Zun has cultivated Infinite Divine Power?"

"Back then, I too had lofty aspirations, hoping to manifest a world-shaking Infinite Divine Power."

"Regrettably, I fell short, and ultimately managed to manifest Great Divine Powers instead."

"For Lu Zun to establish Infinite Divine Power—it is truly extraordinary, worthy of admiration!"

Lu Changsheng smiled and replied, "Fire Cloud Venerable praises me too highly. With Fire Cloud Venerable's three top-tier Great Divine Powers augmenting one another, their combined might is truly world-shaking."

Fire Cloud Venerable's face also revealed a smile.

The two seemed to become fast friends, talking enthusiastically.

As for the other Divine Power martial artists,

Fire Cloud Venerable didn't even spare a glance in their direction.

Perhaps, in his eyes, only Martial Venerables like Lu Changsheng were worth building connections with.
