Chapter 506: Different Fates for Similar People

Wang Chen accepted the jade talisman.

He hesitated for a moment and said, “Master, this disciple has one more matter to report to you.”

Changhe Zhenren was unconcerned: “Go ahead.”

Wang Chen then narrated the entire situation regarding Meng Fei in detail.

At first, Changhe Zhenren listened with a casual demeanor and even frowned slightly.

This Golden Core true master could not understand why Wang Chen was telling him such trivial matters.

However, when Changhe Zhenren heard Wang Chen mention that Meng Fei had been tested and found to possess an eight-pattern root bone, his expression changed dramatically as he sat up straight: “Wang Chen, are you absolutely sure?”

The seriousness on the Golden Core true master’s face was intense.

Wang Chen replied decisively, “This disciple would never dare to utter a single untruth!”

Meng Fei’s eight-pattern root bone was something he personally verified, and unless there was an issue with the Celestial Order, it was a certainty.

Moreover, Meng Fei’s speed in his entry into the path was enough to demonstrate his exceptional talent.

Changhe Zhenren fell silent.

But inside, a storm of emotions was raging.

Changhe Zhenren understood that such a significant matter was not something Wang Chen would joke about.

The problem was, an eight-pattern root bone!

He knew that his own innate root bone had only six patterns, which he later had the fortune to increase to seven.

He was still one pattern short compared to the youth Wang Chen described.

That single pattern could mean the difference between transforming into a spirit and Yuan Ying!

Furthermore, in the past century, no disciple with an eight-pattern root bone had appeared in the West Sea Sect!

The Golden Core true master asked in a deep voice, “Where is this person now?”

“This disciple has temporarily arranged for him to be in Wailing City.”

Wang Chen replied, “Also…”

He shared that among Meng Fei’s Younger Siblings, two had six patterns and three had five patterns.

Wang Chen initially intended to bring them all into the West Sea Sect. Now, with the head of the Changhe lineage present, there was no need to take the conventional journey of cultivation any longer.

After listening, Changhe Zhenren’s eye twitched a few times.

Two with six patterns, three with five patterns!

Had Wang Chen uncovered a nest of geniuses?

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and his gaze deepened.

“Bring them to me quickly!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Changhe Zhenren pulled a shiny silver flying shuttle from his sleeve and tossed it to Wang Chen: “This is for you.”

Wang Chen reacted quickly and caught the flying shuttle but almost dropped it.

The weight of this flying shuttle was beyond imagination.

Upon closer inspection, it was not merely a flying shuttle but a flying artifact.

To be precise, it was a third-tier magical artifact!

“Go quickly.”

Under Changhe Zhenren’s urging, Wang Chen hastily refined the magical artifact to a basic level.

Then he boarded it and flew to Wailing Island to pick someone up.

Changhe Zhenren had bestowed upon him a small magical flying ship, which boasted a spacious and comfortable interior, easily accommodating over a dozen people, and was equipped with multiple formations.

Even without fully refining it, the speed of this magical flying ship was already on par with the Yaoguang flying sword.

Most importantly, the flying ship came with its own restrictions, allowing unrestricted travel both inside and outside Changhe Island.

This was incredibly convenient.

Wang Chen swiftly transported Meng Fei along with his five Younger Siblings to Changhe Island.

During the flight, he earnestly reminded the children once more.

Meng Fei and the others knew they were about to meet the Golden Core true master, and they all trembled with fear.

In their minds, the Golden Core true master was a lofty celestial being, an existence beyond the reach of mortals or low-level cultivators.

Previously, such beings only existed in stories and legends.

With anxious hearts, these young boys and girls followed Wang Chen to Boat Leaf Peak.

Upon seeing Changhe Zhenren, they were struck by his truly celestial demeanor.

However, Changhe Zhenren was impatient and immediately began testing the root bone qualifications of Meng Fei and the others.

The two with Six Patterns and the three with Five Patterns were confirmed without a doubt, and Meng Fei was left for last.

Changhe Zhenren instructed him to draw out a drop of vital blood, which he then dripped onto an ancient bronze lamp.

The next moment, the lamp wick emitted a faint glow.

The aura instantly spread out, enveloping the bronze lamp while forming clouds of cloud patterns.

Before Wang Chen could get a clear look, Changhe Zhenren suddenly tucked the bronze lamp into his sleeve.

He smiled at Meng Fei: “Child, do you wish to become my disciple?”

Wang Chen’s eyelids twitched at this.

Changhe Zhenren was speaking of his own discipleship, not the Changhe lineage.

The difference was significant.

This Golden Core true master clearly intended to accept Meng Fei as his personal disciple!

Reflecting on how arduous it had been for him to enter the veins and the necessity of venturing into small worlds to earn contributions, Wang Chen couldn’t help but think how different fates could be for similar people!

Yet, Wang Chen felt no jealousy; instead, he was genuinely happy for Meng Fei.

As a personal disciple under a true master, even though Meng Fei was still at the initial Qi Training level, he would surely be more than capable of protecting the Xu family.

Having received Wang Chen’s instructions earlier, Meng Fei immediately knelt down: “Disciple Meng Fei pays respects to Master!”

Changhe Zhenren laughed heartily, his laughter soaring into the heavens!

"Good, very good!"

The Golden Core true master’s joy was evident: "From this day forward, you are my disciple!"

Meng Fei, quick-witted and adept at reading the situation, noticed Changhe Zhenren’s excellent mood and boldly inquired, "Master, what about my Younger Siblings?"

"Your two sisters will also join my sect," Changhe Zhenren declared with grandeur. "The other three will first train on Changhe Island, and once they break through to open a house, they will enter the veins."

Meng Fei’s two sisters possessed Six Patterns root bone qualifications, and with diligent cultivation, they could indeed become Golden Core seeds.

Changhe Zhenren accepted them into the sect out of regard for Meng Fei.

It’s crucial to understand that the sect’s true masters cannot arbitrarily accept disciples due to quota limitations, as they require resources from the sect.

Yet, Changhe Zhenren allocated three exceedingly precious slots purely because he was captivated by Meng Fei’s talent.

As for the other three with Five Patterns root bones, they could not receive the same treatment.

But for them, it was akin to ascending to the heavens in a single step!

"Thank you, Master!"

Meng Fei was overjoyed and promptly pulled his two sisters to kowtow to Changhe Zhenren.

"No need for formalities," Changhe Zhenren said, raising his hand to help them up. He then summoned two maids to escort Meng Fei and the others to their accommodations.

The children felt somewhat nervous and all turned their gaze towards Wang Chen.

Wang Chen smiled and said, "Go ahead, and train diligently under the true master, so you don’t disappoint him."

Meng Fei nodded vigorously.

After they departed, Changhe Zhenren presented Wang Chen with a jade bottle.

"Your recommendation is commendable, and merit deserves reward!"

Wang Chen had not anticipated the Golden Core true master to be so generous.

First, he had bestowed upon him a treasure-level flying ship, and now he was rewarding him with heavenly materials and treasures.

Inside this jade bottle lay an incredibly precious wisp of Purple Qi.

This reward was even more valuable than a slot for entering the veins!
