Lu Yin's eyes flickered. If he really was Yu Hao, then perhaps he would join the Frigid Immortal Sect!
Yu Hao's father had personally handed Yu Chuan to the Four Cardinal Scales, and Yu City had lost Yu Chuan. However, Yu Hao was still enjoying himself, which meant that he did not care much about Yu Chuan's life. Giving up on Yu Chuan was the most appropriate choice.
This was all from Yu Hao's perspective. In reality, joining the Frigid Immortal Sect was not a good thing. For example, the independent cultivator who had established the Central Academy had completed the Outer Sky trial and been nurtured into a Progenitor by the Frigid Immortal Sect. In the end, the Frigid Immortal Sect had only obtained a spot to enter the Outer Sky and the Central Academy's collapse. This was the Frigid Immortal Sect's true goal.
Lu Yin did not know what the Outer Sky trial was, but he knew that any Progenitor with a different surname would eventually obtain a spot and disappear forever.
"What conditions do you need to join the Frigid Immortal Sect?"
Bai Wangyuan asked again.
Lu Yin's eyes trembled. His next destination was Shenwu Heaven, and the Xia family would force him to make a choice there. The Xia family's ancestral ceremony was also the time that he planned to save Red Flower Garden. There was not much time left, so he made up his mind. "As long as Progenitor Bai can guarantee my grandfather's survival, Junior Yu Hao is willing to join the Frigid Immortal Sect. I hereby swear that if I betray you, then I, Yu Hao, will never reach the Progenitor realm."
On the other side of the Cloudvision Stone, Bai Wangyuan was astonished. He had thought that Lu Yin would say something else or at least state his conditions, but he had not expected the youth to be so straightforward.
He recalled the sect's report and realized that this youth had always been biased towards the Frigid Immortal Sect, so it was not surprising that he was willing to join. "You're not even going to state your conditions?"
Lu Yin respectfully replied, "Since I've joined the sect, I'll put the sect's interests above all else. If Progenitor Bai is willing, then I'll accept it. If Progenitor Bai is unwilling, then I won't accept it."
Bai Wangyuan suddenly admired Yu Hao. That independent cultivator who had completed the Outer Sky trial had stated a lot of conditions, some of which even Bai Wangyuan found troublesome. In the end, he had been forced to give them a spot to the Outer Sky trial. Compared to that independent cultivator, Yu Hao was far too loyal. "Since you've treated the Frigid Immortal Sect with sincerity, the sect will naturally not mistreat the Frigid Immortal Sect... I can guarantee that Yu, Yu, will be alive. Yu, Yu Hao..... and Yu.................. Yu.....
.... master?.......
He didn't expect Bai Wangyuan to have such a plan.
This was Bai Wangyuan, one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas from the era of the Daosource Sect. He was an absolute powerhouse, and he was also the person in charge of the Cold Immortal Sect. He could be considered one of the people who stood at the peak of the Cosmic Tree Realm, and countless people wanted to take him as their master but were unable to do so. Even Bai Weiwei was, at most, a member of the Bai family, and it was impossible for her to take Bai Wangyuan as her master.
If Lu Yin was really Yu Hao, he would not hesitate at all. However, such an offer was not attractive to Lu Yin at all. His master was Mister Mu, a powerhouse who had experienced the Above Heaven Sect era. He was a terrifying powerhouse, and even Lu Yin's cosmic ring contained the Fog Ancestor, who was on the same level as Bai Wangyuan.
"Can, can I?"
Even though he didn't want to, Lu Yin still had to pretend to be so excited that he couldn't speak coherently.
Lu Yin's reaction was within Bai Wangyuan's expectations, as it was impossible for anyone to refuse to take him as their master. Even the direct descendants of the Wang family and the Xia family would not be able to resist such a temptation. "Of course. I'll pass down the order to hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony."
Bai Wangyuan naturally had to hold a ceremony to accept a disciple. Whether it was for the Cold Immortal Sect, the Four Way Scales, or even the Cosmic Tree Realm, this was no ordinary matter. Just like when Mu Xie had announced that he wanted to take Long Seven as his disciple, the White Dragon Clan had taken it seriously and sent out invitations everywhere.
"Then...
What about the Xia family? "
Lu Yin asked.
Bai Ze replied, "You can go, but you can't."
Soon after, the call ended, and Lu Yin put away the Cloudconnection Stone. He now had Wang Fan and Bai Wangyuan's Cloudconnection Stones, as well as the Fog Ancestor. Of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas from the era of the Daosource Sect, he could contact three people.
Wu Yao arrived and looked at Lu Yin with a puzzled expression.
Lu Yin smiled. "Senior, please give me your guidance in the future."
Wu Yao was bewildered. "You've joined a sect?"
Lu Yin modestly replied, "I was lucky to have Ancestor Bai as my master."
Wu Yao's pupils shrank. "Ancestor Bai as your master?"
Lu Yin nodded and looked at Wu Yao with a smile in his eyes. "The apprenticeship ceremony will be held soon, and I'll have to trouble Senior when the time comes."
"You're too polite. Mister Haoyu's innate talent is extraordinary, and he's also very knowledgeable and humble. You're the most suitable person to join my Cold Immortal Sect, and all of the sect's resources will be given to you. If you have any problems, just tell me, and I'll definitely help if I can." Wu Yao's attitude suddenly changed. If Lu Yin became Bai Wangyuan's disciple, then there were only a few people in the Cold Immortal Sect who could match his status, and Wu Yao definitely would not be one of them.
"It's nothing much. I just recently encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, and I don't know if it's because I haven't broken through the three stages. This …" Lu Yin probed.
Wu Yao looked depressed. "You'll need a tribulation crystal pillar to break through the three stages. These resources are all in the Ancestor's hands, so I can't take them out. But don't worry, after the apprenticeship ceremony, Ancestor Bai will definitely take out a tribulation crystal pillar to help you break through the three stages."
Lu Yin felt that it was a pity. "I see. What a pity." He then suddenly thought of something and looked at Wu Yao. "Actually, I feel like my cultivation speed has been too slow recently. Is there any way to solve this?"
Wu Yao was speechless. If Lu Yin's cultivation speed was too slow, then it meant that he did not have enough astral source. There was only one way to solve this problem, and that was to use starsource fluid.
"How do you want to solve this problem?"
Wu Yao asked.
Lu Yin was about to say starsource fluid, but when he saw Wu Yao's probing gaze, he quickly stopped himself. Starsource fluid was not something that Wu Yao should know about. "I need a sourcebox."
Wu Yao was astonished. "A sourcebox?"
Lu Yin nodded and earnestly said, "Actually, the reason why I was able to reach the third Origin Tribulation Stage was because I was constantly defending against the danger of the sourceboxes under Master's supervision. I was constantly fighting against the danger of the sourceboxes, and that's how I was able to reach the third Origin Tribulation Stage. Now that Master isn't by my side and I don't have any sourceboxes, my cultivation speed has slowed down. Does the sect have any powerful sourceboxes?"
Wu Yao thought about it. Although sourceboxes were precious, they were far inferior to tribulation crystal pillars and starsource fluid. With his authority, he could take some out. "I'll find some for you."
"Try your best to find something with a strong killing intent so that my cultivation speed can increase," Lu Yin reminded him.
Wu Yao replied, "Don't worry."
Not long after, Wu Yao brought back three sourceboxes. They were all Boundless Advanced sourceboxes, and each one had a unique killing intent. Lu Yin quickly put them away and thanked Wu Yao profusely.
At that moment, Xia Ziheng finally arrived.
After Lu Yin had completed the Beyond Heaven trial, Xia Ziheng had immediately headed towards the Frigid Immortal Sect. Shenwu Plane knew what the Frigid Immortal Sect would do; they would definitely do everything in their power to keep Yu Hao in the Frigid Immortal Sect.
Although Yu Chuan alone could threaten Yu Hao, Xia Ziheng was not as confident as what the Frigid Immortal Sect could possibly offer.
This was especially true for Lu Yin.
The interception made him even more anxious, and he rushed to the Frigid Immortal Sect as quickly as possible.
"Food God, the Frigid Immortal Sect's trial has ended. It's time to go to Shenwu Plane." Xia Ziheng looked for Lu Yin as soon as he arrived at the Frigid Immortal Sect, but this was the Frigid Immortal Sect, so how could he casually look for someone? Since he could not find Lu Yin, he quickly looked for the Food God.
The Food God had no choice but to tell Xia Ziheng about how the Frigid Immortal Sect had forced them to stay, which infuriated Xia Ziheng. He quickly went to find Wu Yao and Bai Su.
The two sides argued for a long time, but Wu Yao was not stupid. He acted as if he did not know that Lu Yin had agreed to join the Frigid Immortal Sect, and he continuously stopped the people from Yi Xian Academy from leaving. In the end, he dragged it out for another three days before the people from Yi Xian Academy left.
During these three days, Xia Ziheng stayed outside Lu Yin's courtyard without a care for his image, and Wu Yao kept trying to enter and talk to Lu Yin. The two sides were in a deadlock, and Lu Yin thought that they would fight.
Looking back at the Frigid Immortal Sect, Xia Ziheng asked Lu Yin, "What conditions did Wu Yao propose?
Did he want you to join the Frigid Immortal Sect? "
Lu Yin nodded. "They proposed many conditions, such as a tribulation crystal pillar for breaking through three stages."
Xia Ziheng snorted. "What the Frigid Immortal Sect has, so does my Shenwu Plane. However, what we have, they don't."
This sentence was obviously referring to Yuchuan.
Xia Ziheng stared at Lu Yin, as he wanted to confirm Yuchuan's position in Lu Yin's heart.
He was satisfied with the results, and this sentence caused Lu Yin's expression to turn ugly. He did not want to talk to Xia Ziheng again.
Xia Ziheng's tone softened. "Yuhao, no matter what happened in the past, you will always be the son-in-law of the Xia family. This will not change. As for Xia Zhitong and the others who harmed you, we have already locked them up. After the ancestral worship ceremony, you can do whatever you want with them."
Lu Yin clenched his fists. "Do whatever I want with them?"
Xia Ziheng nodded. "This was originally a condition that we agreed to. Whatever the Frigid Immortal Sect can give you, my Shenwu Plane can do the same. Don't go down the wrong path."
Lu Yin fell silent.
Xia Ziheng suddenly thought of something. "Last time, I asked you to invite Divine Master Gu Yan to observe the ceremony. How did it go?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, as he had forgotten about this matter. "I'm thinking about what to say."
Xia Ziheng frowned. "Is it hard to say?"
"Master hates the Four Cardinal Scales. It's not like you don't know that," Lu Yin said coldly.
Xia Ziheng stared at Lu Yin. "But I heard that Divine Master Gu Yan changed his view of the Frigid Immortal Sect."
Lu Yin was confused. "Did he?"
Xia Ziheng and Lu Yin looked at each other, trying to see through Lu Yin, but there was only confusion in Lu Yin's eyes.
At that moment, the Culinary God walked over. "Xia Ziheng, I heard that you were intercepted on the way here.
Who was it? "
Xia Ziheng retracted his gaze and conversed with the Culinary God.
Lu Yin sighed.
The Xia family's attitude towards Lu Yin was different from the other three families. In their impression, Lu Yin's identity as Yuhao had always been a member of the Xia family. With so many things happening, there was only one attitude towards Lu Yin: if he did not join them, he would die.
From the looks of it, the Wang family was the most sincere. Wang Fan was also the first ancestor of the Four Cardinal Scales to talk to Lu Yin, and he was also one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. Bai Wangyuan had only approached Lu Yin because he had completed the Heaven's Beyond trial.
The Frigid Immortal Sect was not close to Shenwu Plane, and Lu Yin used the excuse of being in seclusion to avoid meeting with Xia Ziheng. He had just completed the Heaven's Beyond trial, so no one would suspect him.
