Chapter 7: The Dragon's Whistle

Spirit Immortal Sect, Ninth Peak.

Since Zhang Yun had crossed over, he had been the only one in this peak.

Most of the buildings within the peak had accumulated a thick layer of grey and looked somewhat dilapidated, with only the courtyard where a medicinal field was located being relatively clean.

Deep within this courtyard was a small cave, which was Zhang Yun's usual residence.

It was here that he had brought his disciple Xu Ming.

Inside the cave, Zhang Yun looked at Xu Ming in front of him with a smile, "Disciple, how do you feel about your current physical condition?"

Xu Ming sniffed and clenched his fists with some excitement, "Master, I feel like I have a complete spiritual root again, my body is now full of power!"

"Do you know what that is?"

"This ..."

Xu Ming shook his head, "I don't know, disciple!"

This was also what was strange to him.

After all, his Dragon Spirit Root had clearly been given away, and now he was left with the remaining Spirit Root. However, after being stabbed by Zhang Yun with the golden dagger, he felt that his power had suddenly returned to what it was before the Dragon Spirit Root was taken away, and it was even better.

Zhang Yun laughed, "That's because your Second Spirit Root has been activated!"

"Second Spirit Root?"

Xu Ming was stunned.

"In addition to the stolen Dragon Spirit Root, you also have a second Spirit Root!"Zhang Yun spoke eloquently, "This Spiritual Root is the mutated Red and Gold Dragon Spiritual Root, which belongs to the mutated category of Dragon Spiritual Roots. The reason Master stabbed you with a golden dagger earlier is because only by touching your flesh and blood with a golden object can this Spiritual Root be activated!"

"I see!"

Xu Ming came to a realisation.

"However, this method can only activate your spirit root for a short period of time, and it will disappear after a month at the most!"

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Xu Ming's face changed, "Master, won't I be ... in a month?"

"Don't worry!"

Zhang Yun waved his hand and smiled, "Master will find a way to help you maintain it."

"Thank you, Master!"

Xu Ming was grateful.

"But this isn't a long-term solution after all... ..."

Zhang Yun paused and said, "To fully activate your Spiritual Root, you need a very rare item. In order to obtain this item, it requires a very powerful strength. With your current ability, it is still far from enough!"

Hearing this, Xu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I want to become stronger!""Everyone wants to become stronger, but it requires effort on your part!"

"Master, I promise you. I will do my best to cultivate and never let up!"

"Good! That is the spirit that my Zhang Yun's disciple should have!"

Looking at the serious Xu Ming, Zhang Yun said, "Master is now going to teach you a technique, listen carefully!"

Xu Ming immediately pricked up his ears.

"This gong method is called Golden Dragon Nine Transformations. First Transformation Golden Dragon Whistling; Second Transformation Golden Dragon Disciple; Third Transformation Golden Dragon Claw ..."

As he listened to Zhang Yun's narration, Xu Ming's face gradually revealed a look of surprise.

Although he had never seen these high-level techniques before, he could still hear the extraordinary nature of this technique.

"Master, is this Golden Dragon Nine Transformation an entry-level technique?"

After listening to Zhang Yun carefully, Xu Ming couldn't help but ask.

With an inscrutable look on his face, Zhang Yun smiled and asked back, "What do you think?"

Xu Ming's expression was shaken.In his opinion, Zhang Yun had agreed!

Entry Rank Gongfu ah!

It had to be at least Spirit Rank or above before it could be called an entry-level technique.

This kind of technique could already be used as a city method for a group of Immortal Cultivation Clans to form their own sects. Even some Immortal Cultivation Sects did not have this kind of technique.

Just now, Zhang Yun had casually taught him a technique that was even at this level?

Wasn't it said that this master of his was a strange elder who had cultivated himself to the point of going off the rails as a waste?

Think about what he has seen so far ...

Everyone else thought he was a waste, but Zhang Yun saw that he had a second Spirit Root and helped him activate it; now he casually took out an entry-level technique and taught it to him ...

Such a person, waste?

What a joke!

When he thought of those who had gossiped earlier, calling Zhang Yun 'weird waste' with every breath, he felt nothing but anger.These guys, they talk nonsense without knowing the truth!

Whoever dared to say that his master was strange in the future would be in a hurry to deal with them!

Looking at Zhang Yun's faint smile, Xu Ming's respect grew.

This master of his own was a true high achiever!

"Alright, start cultivating. Master is free now, so I just happened to help you from the sidelines!"

Zhang Yun spoke.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Ming nodded his head and immediately sat down on his knees on a nearby futon and began to cultivate the Golden Dragon Nine Transformations.

As Zhang Yun watched from the side, a message suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Apprentice Brother Xu Ming has begun cultivating the Golden Dragon Nine Transformations, current progress: 1% ...'

"Real-time cultivation status?..."

Zhang Yun stroked his chin.

As Xu Ming's hands began to perform the Hand Decree, Zhang Yun could clearly feel that the aura from the four corners of the earth and sky began to converge.The progress of Xu Ming's cultivation in his eyes also began to jump from 1%, quickly reaching 2% and 3% ...

But at the point of reaching 5%, this jumping suddenly stopped.

''The rhythm of absorbing aura is too slow, the progress of the gong method is stagnant.''

Before he could think much about it, a piece of information that appeared in his eyes caused Zhang Yun to slightly raise his eyebrows, and he immediately opened his mouth to demand, "Speed up the rhythm of your aura absorption!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming's body trembled, and those hands immediately quickly played the hand command.

The surrounding spiritual qi immediately converged in large swathes.

As Xu Ming accelerated his absorption of spiritual qi, the stagnant progress in Zhang Yun's eyes pulsed once again.

"Surprisingly, it is still possible to see the errors in the steps between the cultivation process in real time ..."

Watching the change, Zhang Yun's heart exclaimed, "This Immortal Master's Heavenly Eyes, it's a divine weapon for cultivating disciples!"

'8%... .9%..... .10%! The first transformation cultivation has been completed!

At the moment the progress reached 10%, the progress skyrocketed.

Buzz! Xu Ming's body surface suddenly surged.

A dazzling golden light suddenly surged from Xu Ming's body surface.

"Aang-!!!"

In the next second, Xu Ming violently opened his mouth wide and let out a whistling sound that seemed like a dragon's roar, centred on the cave and instantly resounding towards the entire area of the Spirit Immortal Sect.Wherever the whistling sound passed, countless spirit beasts of the Spirit Immortal Sect trembled and prostrated themselves on the ground. As if on a pilgrimage, they all performed the kneeling ritual in the direction of the ninth peak.

"What's going on?"

"Where is that roar of the spirit beasts? Why is my spirit cow trembling?"

"That's the direction of the ninth peak, what's going on there?"

...

The vision brought about by this whistling sound alarmed countless people within the Spirit Immortal Sect.

The sect's main peak.

"Huh?"

The Patriarch of the Spirit Immortal Sect, who was flipping through scrolls, raised his head and looked in surprise in the direction of the ninth peak.

"From such a distance, it can still emit such dragon power. This Dragon Spirit Root's physique, it's not easy!"

He spat out a breath, smiled faintly, and muttered to himself, "Zhang Yun ah Zhang Yun, it's true that I've collected a diamond in the rough for you, kid, I hope you can carve it properly!"

...

Third Peak.Several elders of the Spirit Immortal Sect had gathered to drink tea, and they were stunned by the sudden sound of a dragon's whistle.

"This is the ... ninth peak? It was emitted by that disciple who was taken in by Zhang Yun?"

"What a shocking pressure, what kind of physique is this adopted disciple of Zhang Yun?"

"This Zhang Yun is really lucky to have received such a genius!"

As they reacted and looked towards the ninth peak, a few moments of envy and jealousy appeared in the eyes of several elders.

"But this Zhang Yun has already regressed to the foundation stage, it's a bit of a waste to receive such a disciple for him!"

"Shall we go and talk to the Patriarch together? It would be bad if such a genius was delayed!"

"I think it's possible!"

...

Several elders spoke to each other.

"It's better to save your efforts!"

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.

The several elders froze and looked at the elegant middle-aged man sitting on the side wearing a white robe, "Third Elder, do you want to see such a genius delayed?"

The elegant middle-aged man was also the owner of the third peak, the third elder of the Spirit Immortal Sect.

When he heard this, he said indifferently, "Several people, when that disciple named Xu Ming appeared earlier, none of us were interested. Afterwards, to be able to show such a gifted vision, it can be said that the Ninth Elder had a discerning eye. If we go back now and take the disciple, we can't even justify it with reason, and it's unlikely that the Patriarch will agree to it!"This ..."

The various elders frowned.

The third elder of the Spirit Immortal Sect suddenly laughed again when he finished, "Actually, there is nothing to worry about. In three months, even if we don't go and get him, this disciple will come out on his own!"

The various elders were stunned and reacted quickly, their eyes gleaming.

Yes, Zhang Yun would not be able to keep his position as an elder after three months. At that time, there would be no need to go and grab him by force, and this disciple would become a free disciple!

...

Tenth Peak.

"Lucky bastard!!!"

Hearing the sound of a dragon whistle, Meng Zhong looked in the direction of the Ninth Peak next door with a stern expression on his face.

He was puzzled as to how Zhang Yun could be so lucky. How could an oddball who had never taken on a disciple and had cultivated himself to the point of going off the deep end get such a talented disciple?

As Meng Zhong looked around at the various new disciples he had taken on, especially Nie Zhi, whose inferior spiritual root had caused him to lose tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, he became increasingly disgusted.

Why were all the disciples he had taken in such crooked and cracked jujubes?

Feeling Meng Zhong's disgust, Nie Zhi was worried, but at the same time, she thought of something and couldn't help but open her mouth, "Master ..."

"Have a fart and let it go!"

Meng Zhong, who was in the middle of his displeasure, heard him speak and immediately shouted coldly.

Nie Zhi's body shook, but he still said, "Master, do you know the background of this Xu Ming?"

"Background?"Meng Zhong thought of all the comments about Xu Ming's appearance at the previous Grand Ceremony and frowned at Nie Zhi, "What are you trying to say?"

Nie Zhi said carefully, "Master, if you want to deal with Xu Ming and the Ninth Elder. You can actually find a way to bring today's events to the ears of the Southern Cloud City Lin Family!"

"Southern Cloud City Lin Family?"

Meng Zhong was stunned.

He immediately thought of something and his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Nie Zhi, "You're very thoughtful!"

Nie Zhi smiled sarcastically.

Meng Zhong didn't say much, just glanced in the direction of the ninth peak next door, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold smile.
