Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 67: Promising Potential

"Come, let the Sect Master feel your bones and see how your cultivation potential is."

Hugging Hu Mu tightly in his arms, Lu Bei first rubbed her small chin, then moved his hands to her legs, and finally stopped at her back, just above her waist.

"Don't be afraid, keep your back straight. When the old Sect Master took me as his disciple, he also felt my bones like this."

"Mmm~"

Hu Mu's face turned red as she straightened her not-so-small chest. She felt embarrassed, but she couldn't help but feel that her Sect Master's hands seemed to possess a magical power, leaving a warm sensation wherever they touched.

Although she disliked it, she didn't actually dislike it.

"Not bad, not bad. You have a good physique for displaying clothes."

"Sect Master?"

"My mistake, I meant to say that you have good bones for cultivation."

At the entrance, She Xuan leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed, making a disdainful hum.

As expected, Lu Bei's friend who kept a demonic pet was none other than himself.

She Xuan didn't pay much attention to Lu Bei's seemingly bone-feeling but actually inappropriate behavior. She thought that if it were a proper bone-feeling, it would give the impression of intentionally taking advantage due to lack of experience.

This was not She Xuan trying to make excuses for Lu Bei, but rather stating the facts and reasoning based on her own experiences.

In her opinion, although Lu Bei had many flaws, such as being despicable, hypocritical, and cunning... he had few virtues, and one of them was his lack of interest in women.

Based on personal experience, not hearsay, after several honest encounters, nothing had happened. This alone was enough to prove it.

"Not bad, your potential is good. Once I find a suitable cultivation technique for you, I'll take you to soar."

Lu Bei rubbed the head of Hu Mu, who was pressed against it, and looked around. "Where did those little ones run off to again?"

"They're in the backyard's underground palace, rolling around in the clay formation every day."

"This habit... you don't have it, do you?"

"No."

Hu Mu shook her head, her curious gaze turning to She Xuan. She tugged at Lu Bei's sleeve and asked, "Sect Master, who is this sister?"

"Don't talk nonsense, don't be disrespectful. Snake Auntie is already older than the title of sister, it was appropriate to call her that thirty years ago." Lu Bei scolded.

"She Xuan, your Sect Master's friend. Let's each mind our own business, just call me Sister She."

She Xuan smiled at Hu Mu and then looked at Lu Bei with a cold face. "Cultivators don't judge by age. If you call me Snake Auntie again, I'll have a falling out with you."

"Alright, Snake Auntie."

"..."

"No problem, Snake Auntie."

"..."

She Xuan broke her promise and didn't have a falling out, but she rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.

In the cultivation world, age doesn't determine seniority, but rather one's cultivation level. Being older doesn't mean having a higher status.

Taking the Zhu family of Wu Zhou and the Extreme Monarch Sect as examples, in big families, everyone is related in some way. During work, you might be a senior disciple and I might be a junior disciple, but when we go home, you might be my son and I might be your father.

Similar situations are common, and if the relationships become too complicated and can't be sorted out, then everyone minds their own business.

She Xuan believed that Lu Bei, who often mentioned Snake Auntie, old woman, and seniority, was just trying to provoke her. If she got really angry, she would have fallen for it.

"Let's go, let the Sect Master see what our new home looks like now."

"Okay."

Hu Mu nodded with narrowed eyes and lifted her wide dao robe, leading the way.

Seeing the fox spirit hopping along, Lu Bei felt quite ashamed. He couldn't make the child suffer any longer and needed to quickly buy her some suitable clothes.

As a man, it was inconvenient for him, but luckily it wasn't a big problem. She Xuan would be staying at the Ascension Gate for some time, so it would be best to ask for her help.

Thinking of this, Lu Bei furrowed his brows. "Little Mu, how long have you been in your human form?"

"Not long..."

Hu Mu furrowed her brows. She didn't know much about it herself and explained her transformation.

A few nights ago, she was probably sick and couldn't sleep in bed. She got up and quietly looked out the window...

The moon was so round.

When she regained consciousness, she shed her demonic form and transformed into a human appearance.

Naturally, smooth, and not at all painful, but suddenly changing her appearance startled the other four little foxes.

After transforming into a human, her mind buzzed with a sense of shame at being exposed. She found a Daoist robe in Lu Bei's house and put it on.

"About the events from the past two nights?"

Lu Bei felt deep regret. If only he had been a little faster, he could have caught his own fox spirit transforming.

He had underestimated it!

It wasn't anything else, but transforming was a major event for a demon. A moment of carelessness could lead to a lifetime of regret. With him by her side, he could provide some guidance when it came to shaping her face.

The more he thought about it, the more regretful he became. Lu Bei glared angrily at She Xuan. It was all her fault. If she hadn't been so weak and submissive all the way, they would have definitely witnessed the scene of Hu Meng transforming.

She Xuan: "......"

What's wrong with this person again?

...

Hu Meng led the way, and Lu Bei strolled around the Ascension Gate. The front yard had shops, with two passages on the left and right.

The left passage led to the backyard, where several rooms were used by the sect leader and inner disciples, while the more distant ones were used as guest rooms. The right passage passed by the Alchemy Room, the storage room, and the entrance to the underground palace, occupying the largest peripheral area.

At the end of the road was a deep pool in the back mountain.

The Lofty Brow Faction had put a lot of thought into this place.

According to the drawings specified by Lu Bei, they only needed to add a few shelters to protect against wind and rain, serving as an air force training base. However, Ding Lei insisted on erecting two five-meter-high stone pillars, embroidered with dragon patterns, symbolizing the "Dragon Transformation" of carp.

To achieve the desired artistic effect and prove that it wasn't just empty talk, Ding Lei also had the disciples of the Lofty Brow Faction carry hundreds of carp up the mountain and release them into the deep pool.

The fish were free.

They were given away for free.

Master Ding had no other intentions. He just hoped that Lu Bei would have a great realization. Eating goose every day was boring. As someone who had been through it, he knew that fish was the top choice on the dining table.

With Ding Lei's kind intentions, Lu Bei was deeply impressed. Without hesitation, he went straight to the Lofty Brow Faction, paid the final installment, and took away five geese.

Today, they would have a feast of roasted goose.

Before leaving, he left some funds for Ding Lei to purchase equipment for the Alchemy Room and storage room. In addition, there were fishing rods, cabinets, and other furniture, all packed up and given to the Lofty Brow Faction.

Under the old tree in the backyard, on a stone table.

The four little foxes were still rolling in the mud, and Hu Meng felt that she had lost the ability to communicate with her sisters after transforming. She sat there sadly, picking at the vegetables in her bowl.

Seeing this, Lu Bei picked up a goose leg and put it in her bowl. "When you're growing, you should eat more meat. Just eating vegetables won't do."

"What if I get fat?"

"The sect leader likes it when you're fat."

Lu Bei smiled warmly and pushed the plate of vegetables in front of She Xuan. "Eating vegetables is good for protecting your eyesight and preventing high blood pressure. It's good for someone your age."

She Xuan gradually got used to Lu Bei's teasing. Besides, her diet was already light, so she just gave him a white look and didn't say anything.

Lu Bei finished eating first, put down his chopsticks, and looked at the two beautiful women on his left and right.

Strictly speaking, Hu Meng's figure and appearance strictly adhered to the standard template of a fox spirit. She was enchanting and glamorous, easily arousing people's imagination. It was hard to fall asleep at night.

Unfortunately, her temperament and appearance didn't match at all.

Because she didn't have an elder guiding her, she didn't know how to use her advantages. Her behavior and actions were naturally innocent, lacking the self-awareness of being a fox spirit. In a positive light, she was inexperienced, but in a negative light, this fox spirit seemed a bit foolish and didn't appear very intelligent.

"Hu Meng, give the sect leader a smile."

"Hehe."

Sure enough, she looked even more foolish when she smiled.

Lu Bei frowned and thought that according to his expectations, Hu Meng's appearance after transforming should match her personality. A youthful and well-endowed figure, paired with the cold and glamorous She Xuan, the combination of a fox spirit and a snake spirit would be enough to dominate all players. But this person didn't follow the script at all. Her entire plan was disrupted as soon as she transformed.

A foolish and charming lady + a snake and scorpion lady, did they have potential?

Was there something missing?

There was, but there was still potential.

Lu Bei slapped the table and made a decision.

Tomorrow, he would go to the tailor shop and have a batch of clothes made. When they returned, the two of them would change their outfits, and he would personally review them.
