"But..."
Wan Lei spoke the two words softly, which sounded like heavenly music to Liu Tao's ears. He raised his head abruptly, not daring to breathe, his eyes shining brightly at Wan Lei.
"Although I cannot take you as a disciple, I can bring you to receive the best training in the Immortal Realm and undergo systematic teaching.
In the Immortal Realm's Chang'an City, there is an Academy of Wild Geese, which is the best academy in the Immortal Realm, known as the preparatory class for the Five Elements Hall. Many disciples of the Five Elements Hall are from the Academy of Wild Geese.
You can return to the Immortal Realm with me, and I will write you an introduction letter. Although I haven't been to the academy myself, I still have some influence. The students I recommend, the Academy of Wild Geese will give me face and should not refuse."
Wan Lei felt a little guilty saying this. The Academy of Wild Geese in the human world knew his reputation, and disciples of the Five Elements Hall did have the right to recommend students to the Academy of Wild Geese, but why would the Academy of Wild Geese give him face?
However, it didn't matter. If they didn't give face, he would go to the Old Ancestor, or to the Sword Saint, Xi Sha, or other Saints. Surely the Academy of Wild Geese would not refuse the face of a Saint. Great Wind Novel Network
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir. Your regenerative grace to this junior is unforgettable. I will repay you in the future!"
Liu Tao was so excited that his face turned red. Although he didn't know what the Academy of Wild Geese was, he knew the Five Elements Hall!
The best academy in the Immortal Realm, judging by its name, one could tell how powerful it was.
"Well, when you break through to the Immortal Realm in the future, you can also try to take the assessment at the Five Elements Hall. If you pass, you will be a disciple of the Five Elements Hall like me.
The Five Elements Hall governs all realms, and the status of its core disciples is much higher than that of the external staff and armies."
"Thank you, sir."
"Alright, go and tell your relatives, say goodbye, and then follow me back to the Immortal Realm."
"I have no relatives and no worries, I can return with you at any time."
"Hmm?"
Wan Lei frowned slightly. Hearing Liu Tao's words, he instinctively thought of him as someone who was eager for success and disregarded kinship.
Seeing that Wan Lei had misunderstood, Liu Tao quickly explained,
"I have been an orphan since childhood, and I grew up with a group of ruffians and beggars. By chance, I became a rogue cultivator. I am over eighty years old now, and those mortals have long since died. If you don't believe me, I can find witnesses."
"No, no, no, I believe you. Alright, let's go now."
Wan Lei got up with Feng An and, taking Liu Tao, flew towards the sky.
At this time, the Feiyu was already hovering in the air, ready to depart.
After the battle, they were supposed to leave. The reinforcements were not responsible for clearing the bodies; people from this world would do it.
Wan Lei had been thinking about the mortal realm cultivator who had charged forward first during the battle. So he asked them to wait and went with Feng An to find Liu Tao.
"Brother Wan, we part ways today, and I don't know when we will meet again. Thank you so much for bringing troops to our rescue. When I return to the Immortal Realm to report, I will definitely find you for a drink to express my gratitude."
"Hahaha, drinking is fine, but no need for thanks. My mission is to rescue you."
"Alas, if you hadn't come, I'm afraid I would have already died, and this universe would have perished. It's fine for me to die, as it is an honor for a soldier to die in battle, but to lose this universe would be my greatest dereliction of duty."
"Hahaha, let's not be formal. Brother Feng, farewell."
"Farewell."
After saying goodbye to Feng An, Wan Lei took Liu Tao into the Feiyu.
The high-tech spacecraft fascinated Liu Tao. He had seen the spacecraft of the Five Elements Hall army before, but he could only look at it from afar. Today, he was entering it for the first time to see the interior.
They arrived at the spacious cockpit, where the Thunderstorm team members were already waiting.
"Huh? Captain, is this the person you went to find? Are you taking him to the Immortal Realm as well?"
Han Xiaoyun curiously sized up Liu Tao, and not only him, but everyone's gaze was focused on him.
"Yes, it's him. His name is Liu Tao, a brave young man."
Wan Lei said with a smile,
"These are all my team members, and they are all disciples of the Five Elements Hall."
"Junior greets all seniors."
Liu Tao quickly bowed.
Most of the people in front of him were wearing the standard uniform of the Five Elements Hall, which was clean and well-fitting, highlighting their temperament. Coupled with the fact that the team members were all good-looking and exuded an air of nobility,
Liu Tao, covered in blood and dirt, stood with them, like a beggar mixed into high society.
"Stop calling us seniors. More than half of these dozen or so people are younger than you,"
Wan Lei laughed.
Indeed, among the Thunderstorm team, apart from Ao Lie, Fire Phoenix, Heavenly Calculator, and Dada, the others were not very old. The four young ones were in their teens, and Wan Lei, Fang Xiaoyu, Wan Liuchuan, Yuan Jun, and the others were only in their early thirties.
Liu Tao was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that the captain was powerful alone, but this group of people was so young. After all, they were all in the Immortal Realm.
Unlike himself, who was over eighty years old and still only at the Core Formation stage.
The spacecraft initiated a space jump. After adjusting the jump point, a space black hole appeared in front of them, and the spacecraft shot into it.
When they reappeared, they had already arrived at the Five Elements Hall.
Liu Tao pressed his face against the window, scanning the tall, dense buildings below, his heart filled with emotion.
This was the center of power in the prime dimension, the Five Elements Hall.
Compared to the Five Elements Hall, the capital of Kunyang Star, where he lived, was not even in the same dimension.
The spacecraft stopped in front of Wan Lei's house, and everyone disembarked.
"Dada, take Liu Tao to your courtyard to wash up and change clothes. Don't you have a water source there?"
Wan Lei's mobile cave mansion was very small and had no water source. The large courtyard where Dada and the others lived, behind it, there was a small stream from the mountain.
Earlier, Dada had said he wanted to connect tap water to the courtyard, but he had been too busy and hadn't gotten around to it.
Dada took Liu Tao to bathe, and Wan Lei then looked at Liu Yuxin and said,
"Xin'er, I have a new task for you. I will write a letter of introduction shortly. You take Liu Tao to the Academy of Wild Geese to handle the enrollment, and give him some spiritual stones, elixirs, and other cultivation resources. Also, go see your brother."
"You just boss me around!"
Liu Yuxin pouted her small mouth and protested indignantly.
"Hey, you little girl, dare to disobey the captain? Team member Wan Liuchuan, you are responsible for teaching her a lesson."
Both Wan Lei and his wife liked to tease Xin'er.
"I'll go with Xin'er. I haven't been back to the academy to visit for a long time,"
Wan Liuchuan said.
"Are you going to let this guy go to the Academy of Wild Geese?"
Xia Yubing asked curiously, looking at Liu Tao's retreating figure.
"Yes, I was thinking of leaving him some cultivation techniques and treasures, but this guy wants to be my disciple. I also thought, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. It's better to give him a good environment and let him grow on his own."
