Waiting for ? Xiao Hei didnt recognize the Daoist in front of him but felt an inexplicable closeness.
Yes, I'm here especially for you. What is your na? The Daoist asked gently.
My na is Xiao Hei, but my proper na is Cheng Nian. Xiao Hei was a little embarrassed. He couldnt help but feel that Xiao Hei was a little substandard and shouldnt let the Daoist hear it.
However, the Daoist smiled and recited it softly, Cheng Nian.
His voice sounded very pleasant and Xiao Hei relaxed subconsciously.
Then, the Daoist handed a translucent stone to Xiao Hei. Hold this spiritual testing stone in your hand. I want to see the potential of your spiritual root.
Xiao Hei resisted in his heart and wanted to give up on himself while saying Im the worst five-elent spiritual root, but he t the clear pupils of the Daoist and saw the kindness in them, so he stretched out his hands as if bewitched.
The testing stone was cool to the touch and Xiao Hei's heart suddenly softened as if it had been soothed.
After a while, he spread out his palms. The original transparent stone turned into five colors, and Xiao Hei lowered his head in embarrassnt.
I didn't expect that you actually beca a five spiritual root.
The Daoist's voice rang again. Xiao Heis heart was so uncomfortable that he held his hands in a deadly grip, but as if self-torture, he wanted to look at the Daoist's face to see if the other party was laughing at him.
He took a peek and found that the Daoist was indeed smiling, but there was no sarcasm in his smile, rather smug instead. Great! As expected of my good disciple!
Xiao Hei blinked in bewildernt. What was the Daoist talking about?
Daoist, Im Jing Yue from Frostcloud Sect. Are you willing to beco my direct disciple?
As soon as Jing Yue announced his na, many people around stopped in their tracks. So were already watching right from the start. They had felt that the Daoists cultivation was quite high before. When they saw him being so friendly with a level-2 Qi Refining youth, all of them wanted to figure out the reason.
After hearing that Xiao Hei was a five spiritual root, many people snickered disdainfully.
But now, before they could be shocked as to why Jing-laozu was also there, they were stunned by his words.
Jing Yuethe Laozu of Frostcloud Sect, the genius known to everyone in the cultivation world, was going to accept this five spiritual root wastrel as his disciple?
His disciple's seniority would be comparable to that of Liu Feng and Liu Yun!
But on second thought, what's wrong with five spiritual roots? If he was fortunate enough to beco a disciple of Jing-laozu, five spiritual root might also beco four, three, or even double and single spirit root. Not to ntion how many heavenly treasures Frostcloud Sect had accumulated over ten thousand years of heritage, just the number of fetal sculpting talismans in the hands of Jing-laozu alone was enough to regenerate ones very bones.
For a while, everyones eyes were full of jealousy as they stared at Xiao Hei.
At the center of the storm, Xiao Hei was already frozen stiff. Of course he knew of Jing Yue, but this na was simply out of reach for him, belonging to a figure on the horizon.
Such a person was going to take him as his disciple?
Did he run into a scamr?
But how could a Daoist with such poise be a fraud? Besides, what could he get out of him?
Seeing Xiao Heis hesitance, Jing Yue added, You don't have to think too much. I predicted that you and I have a master-disciple destiny, and it's the chance encounter I've been waiting for.
At this ti, Lu Sheng who was overwheld by fright finally recovered. He anxiously tugged at Xiao Hei. Quickly, hurry up and agree to it!
He didn't think about Jing Yue being a liar. This was the Nine Heaven Academy after all!
I-I-I will! Xiao Hei suddenly shook and replied loudly. Even his voice broke.
Jing Yue was amused by him and stroked Xiao Hei's head. From now on, youll be my first disciple. As long as I'm around, Ill protect you and not let any harm befall you.
Xiao Hei's tears gushed. He thought of the despondence when he detected the five spiritual root, the anger of being bullied by his clansn, and the helplessness of being kicked out of the family.
But in the end, his heart and eyes were filled with the Daoist in front of him. The gentle and familiar aura seed to be what he had been waiting for.
He shouted again, Shizun!
Jing Yue, Good boy.
The news about Jing-laozu of Frostcloud Sect accepting a wastrel with five spiritual root as his direct disciple quickly spread throughout the academy. Only then did the students know that Jing-laozu was in the academy these days. They rushed to Jing Yue's courtyard but found the building empty. Jing Yue had left long ago.
At this ti, Jing Yue had brought Xiao Hei to Peace City near Bliss City. The reason he ca here was due to the Six Chasm Pavilion located in Peace City, which was ranked top of artifact Dao in the cultivation world, and because of the earth fire chamber that could be rented to the public in the pavilion. Jing Yue wanted to ask soone from Six Chasm Pavilion to upgrade the Mini Canglan Sword with him.
Mini Canglan sword sensed his intention and trembled with joy. It had long wanted to eat the ice gold ore.
Along the way, Jing Yue looked at the magical instrunts being sold on the streets and explained their use to Xiao Hei, who listened as if he sowhat understood it, but dared to show it too blatantly. Until now, he still had a sense of surreal, afraid that he was dreaming, and when he awoke from the dream, his Shizun would be gone.
Of course, Jing Yue could sense his anxiety. Compared to Yi Nian of the previous life, Cheng Nian of this life was obviously more quiet and his personality had changed a lot. He asked Xiao Hei about his experience and knew that the other party felt an inferiority complex due to the contempt of being a five-elent spiritual root. Jing Yue thought about it and said, Do you know that in ancient tis, the five spirit roots and the heavenly spirit roots were the best spiritual root talents?
Xiao Heis eyes lit up before dimming again. Shizun, you dont have to comfort . I understand, but Ill definitely work hard.
Jing Yue, Why should I deceive you? The five spirit roots are also known as chaos spirit roots. As long as there is a suitable cultivation thod, all five attributes of the technique can be practiced. Its just that in the past 100,000 years, the thod gradually went lost and forgotten. Over ti, people think that the five spirit roots are nothing but a waste.
The reason why he knew it was that there were records in the Secret Realm of the Middle Ages. In fact, he knew more than most cultivators, not just because he had lived two lifetis, but for a greater reason, because he had been lucky enough to go to the Middle Ages Secret Realm and co back alive.
When Xiao Hei heard this, he was imdiately anxious. But what should I do if I don't have the thod?
Jing Yue, Who says you dont? I have it.
Xiao Hei, Huh? Didnt you just say
Jing Yue, Theres none in the World of Seven Continents but I have it in other places.
If the greatest chance encounter in his previous life was the Middle Ages Secret Realm, then in this life, so far, it was the Void Sword Tomb.
What he got from the sword tomb was not only the improvent in swordsmanship but also the understanding of the various worlds in the ten universes, as well as the unprecedented or long-lost secret manuals and techniques.
Ill teach you once we return to the sect. Dont worry, everything will be fine.
Xiao Hei nodded heavily. Thank you, Shizun.
Seeing him so well-behaved, Jing Yue was quite satisfied. No matter how he changed, Yi Nian was still the most obedient disciple.
And that should be the way! He would feel a sense of it if he was his disciple, unlike he didnt even know what was going on with Qin Yanzhi anymore.
Jing Yue rubbed Xiao Hei's head smoothly, in return for the latters shy smile.
Hmph! Blue phoenix expressed disdain for this. Such a dumb disciple was not as smart and cute as Ji-ji, and not as good as the Hooligan when he was young and acting like a baby. So what if he and Jing-jing had two lives as master and disciple? He simply didnt have the strength to compete with Ji-ji for favor!
After walking for a while, Jing Yue suddenly found a lot of people gathered around in front of him, gazing at the new Flying Immortal List posted.
Huh? The first Golden Core cultivator has changed!
Who?
Its the Jing-laozu from Frostcloud Sect.
How could it be him? I heard that hes only a mid-level Golden Core. Could he be the sa as Qin-zhenjun, topping the charts at every level?
Dont you know? During the incident in Four Elephants Villa so ti ago, he killed Blood Corpse-laomo.
But I heard that Blood Corpse-laomo was severely injured by Elder Fu Xuan and Jing-laozu only dealt the killing blow.
But Jing-laozu held off Blood Corpse-laomo by himself until reinforcents arrived, and he survived unscathed. Blood Corpse-laomo is a Heavenly Grotto cultivator after all. Can any other Golden Core Zhenren do this?
You have a point. I heard that Jing-laozu has an escape technique that can make him instantly disappear without a trace.
I heard it's a magic treasure.
Hey! I'm just curious, if Jing-laozu's cultivation base catches up with Qin-zhenjun one day, who will be the first among them?
How is that possible? Qin-zhenjun is two stages higher than him!
Hearing the discussion, blue phoenix raised its head proudly and Xiao Hei also puffed his chest happily.
Only Jing Yue suddenly felt that the Flying Immortal List was a little unreliable now.
Soon, they arrived at Six Chasm Pavilion.
A receiving disciple found out about his identity and said respectfully, Laozu, please co with .
Along the way, Jing Yue stated his intentions. At first, the receiving disciple wanted to lead Jing Yue to the main hall to be personally received by the Sect Leader, but when they passed through a big hall, there was an argunt inside.
The disciple imdiately looked embarrassed. I'm sorry for this, please co this way.
Jing Yue smiled nonchalantly and was about to leave when he heard soone in the hall say angrily, You have only forged a useless sword in ten years! How dare you talk to about upgrading your rank?
The other person's voice was slightly lower but obviously anxious. Thats not a useless sword! Although my sword is only at the spiritual level right now, once I have the right materials, Im confident that I can refine it to the precious level!
So what if it can reach the celestial level? This sword can only be used by soone with five-elent spiritual roots. What else could it be but a useless sword?
This ti, not to ntion Jing Yue but even Xiao Hei stopped in his tracks.
What are they arguing about? Jing Yue asked.
The disciple thought that Jing Yue wanted to see the Six Chasm Pavilion make a joke out of itself and felt reluctant, but he still respectfully said, This hall is the swordsmith's pavilion. If Jing-laozu wants to find soone to help refine the sword, you may choose a swordsmith from here. But swordsmiths are also divided into novice, advanced, and expert levels. To be promoted to the next level, the swordsmith must forge a good sword. The swordsmith inside probably doesnt et the criteria.
Seeing a thoughtful look on Jing Yues face, the receiving disciple was afraid that the other party would look down on Six Chasm Pavilion, and quickly said, Dont worry, Jing-laozu. The sect leader will definitely choose the best swordsmith for you later.
Jing Yue, I want to go in and have a look, can I?
Receiving disciple, This
Just at this mont, soone rushed out from the hall angrily and shouted, Dont even think about getting promoted to an expert swordsmith in your life!
Behind him, an old man chased after him. Holding a big black sword in his hand, he said anxiously, Elder Lu, take a closer look at this sword. It really is a good sword.
Let take a look.
Jing Yue suddenly spoke. Elder Lu and the old man stopped at the sa ti and their eyes turned to him in unison.
