At this moment, Jin Ming was dumbfounded. The corners of his mouth twitched, feeling as if he had dug himself into a hole.

It wasn't that he feared Brother Lu harboring any ulterior motives towards Fang Lan. Rather, in his heart... he actually held the intention of becoming Lu Tianming's disciple. However, they began as friends and he found it difficult to voice his request.

Jin Ming was far from being naive or a fool. How couldn't he understand? The faster Fang Lan advanced, the greater the distance between them. But he was heavily attracted to Fang Lan and didn't want to curb her development for his own selfish reasons.

The capabilities of this Brother Lu, whose real name was Lu Tianming, were evident to him by the way he conducted himself.

The Golden Elixir cultivators from the Blood Demon Sect were like children in front of Lu Tianming, there was absolutely no comparison.

Moreover, he had also heard that Lu Tianming had another fight with a very powerful individual after returning to the Lu Family the same day.

Although there was no concrete information, he heard that the one who was slain by Lu Tianming was a Primordial Infant realm powerhouse!

Although this was just some minor gossip that originated from the Lu family, and many people were skeptical, feeling that no matter how strong Lu Tianming was, he couldn't possibly be a match for a Primordial Infant realm powerhouse. But Jin Ming believed in his heart that it was probably true.

After witnessing the marvel that was Lu Tianming, deep down, he held profound admiration.

That's why he had brought Fang Lan here today. Fang Lan wanting to become a disciple was also something she had discussed with him beforehand. He gave his consent.

However, he didn't expect that Brother Lu would change faces faster than flipping a book. Just after accepting a disciple, he was preparing to send him, the mediator, away.

"I want to become stronger too!" Jin Ming silently shouted in his heart. His face was full of anguish, and he looked at Chu Mo pitifully with imploring eyes.

Chu Mo gave Jin Ming a glance, "Alright, stop playing the victim. Come and pick up Fang Lan tonight. I will give you some elixirs then. I guarantee that within ten years, you will step into the Primordial Infant realm!"

"Huh?" Jin Ming was only hoping to get a small favor from Chu Mo, but instead, Chu Mo gave him a huge surprise.

He looked at Chu Mo, "Brother Lu... are you joking with me?"

To reach the Primordial Infant realm in ten years, this must be a joke. Even those top-ranked Heavenly Geniuses in the Spirit Realm wouldn't dare to claim they could enter the Primordial Infant realm within ten years!

Cultivation isn't as easy as eating or drinking water, it's about accumulation. It takes time, takes years to gradually improve one's cultivation level and realm. It's not enough just to accumulate, one needs talent too!

Otherwise, wouldn't it be that the older you are and the more time you have had to cultivate, the higher your realm would be?

The reality isn't like that. Whether a person can reach a certain realm depends on more than just hard work. Talent matters as well.

If one doesn't have enough talent, they might be unable to break through into the Primordial Infant realm even when they've reached the Golden Elixir stage.

Even with centuries of accumulation, it would only result in a very powerful Golden Elixir cultivator, it won't turn you into a Primordial Infant!

Hence, Jin Ming was completely stunned by Chu Mo's words.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of breakthrough to the Primordial Infant realm one day, becoming a figure who could command the wind and clouds. But he absolutely never considered... that he could step into the Primordial Infant realm in ten years.

Forget about ten years, even if he could become a Primordial Infant cultivator in a hundred years, he would still be willing!

Fang Lan, who was standing to one side, was shocked as well.

Her faith in Chu Mo came mainly from Lu Tianming. Plus, she saw with her own eyes that day that this was a top-tier young powerhouse.

But she absolutely did not think that, after becoming a disciple, there would definitely be miraculous outcomes.

Some dreams can be pursued, but some dreams... are no more than illusory reflections. They are transient and fleeting like bubbles. It's best not to fantasize too much about unrealistic things.

Therefore, Chu Mo's remark not only shocked Jin Ming but also shocked Fang Lan.

In her heart, she suddenly had a sliver of doubt. Was this young master she had chosen as her teacher... really reliable? But now it was too late to change even if he wasn't. She had already accepted him as her master!

Fang Lan was in a state of unease, as if she were carrying buckets of water in a seesaw fashion.

Chu Mo glanced at Fang Lan, smiled faintly, and said that he knew that the two of them would certainly be full of doubt after such a statement. But, that was the effect he wanted!

Given his age, he seemed too young. Moreover, since he had accepted Fang Lan as his disciple, he couldn't keep hiding his identity from her. He would have to reveal the truth to her when the time was right.

No matter what, the present "Lu Tianming" appeared to be in his mid-twenties. But his actual age was not much different from Fang Lan's, he might even be younger!

If he couldn't establish his image at this point, it would certainly be immensely awkward when the truth came out.

True mastery can teach, but first, you must be a true master.

"Are you joking?" Chu Mo looked at Jin Ming and replied indifferently, "Well, you just go on thinking it's a joke then."

Phew!

Jin Ming and Fang Lan both heaved a sigh of relief. But there was also a trace of disappointment in their eyes.

Jin Ming said with a bitter smile, "Brother Lu, please don't scare me like this. My heart can't take it... please don't make such jokes in the future."

Fang Lan shot Chu Mo a glance with her beautiful eyes. She thought to herself that fortunately, he admitted it. If he had stubbornly stuck by his statement, she wouldn't respect him as her master!

Chu Mo laughed, "Who scared you?"

"Huh?" Jin Ming and Fang Lan exclaimed almost simultaneously. The hearts that had just been calmed were instantly raised. They looked at Chu Mo with twitching lips, not understanding what was going on.

Chu Mo said faintly, "Alright, no more jokes. Jin Ming, do you want to become a Primordial Infant powerhouse within ten years?"

"Ahem...yes, I dream of it. Just like I dream of marrying Fang Lan!" Jin Ming said shamelessly, grinning at Chu Mo.

"Pah!" Fang Lan spat disdainfully, her face flushing red. She glared at Jin Ming, "Who wants to marry you!"

"That's why..." Jin Ming shrugged, spread his hands, and looked at Chu Mo helplessly, "Wishing...doesn't mean it can happen!"

"Haha." Chu Mo couldn't help laughing. He then took an elixir bottle from his storage pouch and threw it to Jin Ming, "Take one pill every day and continue to do so for thirty days. Reach the Golden Elixir stage first and then we'll see. If you want to succeed, you must dare to dream! As someone who's dreaming of marrying my disciple, you'll have to pass the me as her master first. If you're too weak...even if I agreed, my disciple wouldn't favor you."

Fang Lan stamped her foot and blushed, wanting to say something, but she had just accepted this person as her master, she couldn't directly question his actions. At this moment, Fang Lan also felt like she had dug herself a deep hole to fall into.

However, aside from the embarrassment, what dominated her heart was a strong sense of shock.

An elixir bottle, a month's time, to allow an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to reach the Golden Elixir Dao?

Is that possible?
