My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 51: The Fourth Personal Disciple

Compared to the bustling world below the mountain, this place seems much more modest.

"Master doesn’t stick to conventions, so it’s simpler here," Lord Zhou introduced to Li Hengsheng.

On this peak, there’s only a very ordinary mansion.

Stopping outside the door, Lord Zhou led Li Hengsheng directly inside, and from afar, they saw Xu Muhai cooking something in a large pot.

The aroma of meat wafted through the air.

"Master, I’m back," Lord Zhou shouted from a distance.

"I heard you, no need to shout," Xu Muhai replied without looking up, focusing intently on whether the chicken in the pot was cooked.

After a while, he looked up, saw Li Hengsheng, then put down his chopsticks and walked over, saying, "Hengsheng, you should be clear about the purpose of your visit. Are you willing to become my direct disciple?"

"It’s actually true!" Despite having heard it before, Lord Zhou still found it unbelievable seeing it come to fruition.

It’s astonishing that someone with standards as high as Xu Muhai would actually take Li Hengsheng as a direct disciple!

Lord Zhou couldn’t comprehend it!

Li Hengsheng’s potential is just average at best.

What could possibly be the reason?

Could it be...

Lord Zhou thought in shock, could it be that Li Hengsheng is an illegitimate child Xu Muhai had with some woman outside?

It’s possible!

Because Lord Zhou couldn’t think of any other explanation.

"I am willing, Master." Li Hengsheng felt heartened.

"Disciple greets Master." Li Hengsheng performed the disciple’s salute to Xu Muhai.

"Good." Xu Muhai smiled and said, "Rise. Now that you are my disciple, you should cultivate diligently on Muhai Peak. You can ask me or your senior brother if you have any questions."

"Lord Zhou, you should help Hengsheng with any matters he has, alright?" Xu Muhai glanced at Lord Zhou.

"I will remember, Master." Lord Zhou said with cupped hands.

"As a rule for direct disciples, you must guide Hengsheng well," Xu Muhai said to Lord Zhou. "Also, arrange for Hengsheng to live on Cyan Rain Mountain as his cultivation place. Get someone to tidy up and have Xu Kui accompany him."

"Cyan Rain Mountain?"

"And having Xu Kui accompany him?"

Lord Zhou was moved to tears. He had wanted Cyan Rain Mountain as his cultivation site when he became a direct disciple, but Xu Muhai hadn’t agreed.

Back then, he had said Cyan Rain Mountain was reserved for something important.

Is it reserved for his own son?

"Boo-hoo, alright!"

Lord Zhou left, crying.

"Third Brother, why is he so emotional?" Li Hengsheng was a bit puzzled.

"Who knows, maybe he’s homesick," Xu Muhai said, watching Lord Zhou leave. Then with a wave of his hand, the courtyard door shut.

"Hengsheng." At this moment, Xu Muhai brought out several items.

There was a jade bottle, which he handed to Li Hengsheng, saying, "Inside are Golden Domain Pills. They’re for your cultivation. Your potential is average, but these pills should be enough to advance you to the Ninth Layer of the Transcendent Realm."

"Golden Domain Pills?" Li Hengsheng’s eyes lit up.

The Golden Domain Pills are rare elixirs. Even though Li Changqing had sent a lot of money before, each pill costs over a thousand silver taels. Li Hengsheng couldn’t bring himself to buy them.

"You are currently at the fourth layer of the Transcendent Realm and haven’t yet comprehended the Painting Realm Skill, hence I’m unsure what weapon to give you."

"This is a piece of Condensed Light Star Iron, for use in forging weapons. Just mix in some of this iron, and the weapon will become invincible." Xu Muhai handed a small piece about the size of a fingernail to Li Hengsheng.

The iron piece was secret silver, shimmering with starlight.

It appeared exceedingly precious.

Li Hengsheng was startled to find that the fingernail-sized piece of Condensed Light Star Iron weighed over ten pounds.

This kind of treasure was well-known to Li Hengsheng; there are numerous valuable minerals for crafting weapons, and Condensed Light Star Iron is counted among them.

It’s considered a top-tier forging material, and even Innate Powerhouses desire it.

Li Hengsheng didn’t expect Xu Muhai to give him such a valuable treasure.

Is the welfare of Muhai Peak that good?

If Lord Zhou knew, he would undoubtedly be convinced that Li Hengsheng is Xu Muhai’s illegitimate son!

A small piece of Condensed Light Star Iron like that isn’t something money can buy.

Not just because it’s priceless, but even if available, it would still cost tens of thousands of gold!

The average person couldn’t afford it at all.

"And there’s this item."

"There’s more?"

Li Hengsheng was trembling inside, never having seen so many treasures before.

Xu Muhai retrieved a wooden box and handed it over.

"It’s a treasure I acquired by chance, and I’m giving it to you," Xu Muhai said seriously, "but you must remember one thing."

"Please, Master, tell me." Feeling the serious atmosphere from Xu Muhai, Li Hengsheng quickly responded.

"Whatever’s inside, you must not reveal it to outsiders. Such a treasure should be kept secret; never show it to others, understood?" Xu Muhai said, squinting.

Li Hengsheng’s throat bobbed. Treasures like the Golden Domain Pills and Condensed Light Star Iron didn’t require such secrecy, but whatever was in this box warranted Xu Muhai’s caution.

What could it be!

"I understand, Master," Li Hengsheng nodded repeatedly.

Xu Muhai’s caution indicated the item was enormously valuable, and showing it to others could lead to deadly danger.

Li Hengsheng kept this firmly in his mind.

"Once you break through to the fifth layer of the Transcendent Realm in your cultivation, you can go to the Futu Pavilion to comprehend the paintings. Hopefully, you can derive a powerful cultivation technique then," Xu Muhai patted Li Hengsheng’s shoulder. "Having lesser potential doesn’t matter, as long as you work hard and cultivate earnestly. The future will be bright."

However, Xu Muhai couldn’t help but think: What does it matter if your potential is lacking? With someone like your father paving the way, potential is just a drifting cloud!

But you need to work hard at cultivation.

If you don’t cultivate well, you’ll end up returning home to be a privileged heir instead.

"Don’t worry, Master. I won’t let you down!" Li Hengsheng said respectfully.

Xu Muhai then encouraged him with a few more words; his gentle demeanor was entirely different from the rumors, making Li Hengsheng wonder if he might actually be Xu Muhai’s biological son.

Just then, a knocking sound came from outside.

"Fourth Junior Brother, let me show you your residence," Lord Zhou’s voice called.

"Go ahead," Xu Muhai said to Li Hengsheng.

"Then I shall take my leave," Li Hengsheng gave a fist salute, then packed away the items Xu Muhai had given him.

"Later, I will announce your status as my direct disciple throughout Dao Mountain’s ancient lands. From then on, even those outer and inner sect disciples will address you as Senior Brother," Xu Muhai said casually.

Upon hearing this, Li Hengsheng felt a sudden heavy pressure.

With such mediocre potential, becoming a direct disciple will surely attract countless gazes focusing on him.

Can he make it?

If he embarrasses himself, it will be Muhai Peak’s reputation that suffers.
