I underestimated that little brat!
Once Chu Taishang, Prince Chu Huang, and the rest of their group returned back to the Royal Sanctuary Court, Prince Chu Huang retained his calm expression and calmly declared, I originally believed he was rely a servant of the Myriad Beasts Sect who hid parts of his cultivation to try to gain so opportunities for himself. Who would have thought he would be able to gain Grand Elder Wanluos approval so quickly? It seems he does have so kind of thodshes not soone to be taken lightly!
Chu Taishangs expression was dark as well. Wanluo might normally be all jokes and laughs, but he is still not soone anyone should casually offend. Since that kid has his protection, its best you dont touch him for now in case it ruins the bigger picture. The most important thing at the mont is to help Cier get back the eligibility for her to inherit the Dragon-String Guzheng. It took a lot of effort for the old man Hu Qin to agree; we cannot let this chance slip away!
Prince Chu Huang lightly nodded. Yes, Esteed Grand Elder. When I saw the corpses of those flunkies, I beca hot-headed and thought maybe the boy had so kind of evil Ancient tool. This is the reason for my wrongdoing, but it will not happen again! But that boy must be killed. For him to insult is fine, but for disrupting my path to Dao, his cris cannot be forgiven. If I do not kill this person, my Dao will forever be tainted!
Chu Taishang glared at the prince but did not scold him. He knew this youth had ford a golden foundation, which had a stronger and sturdier basis than his own; it was quite likely Chu Huangs future accomplishnts would be even greater than what he himself had managed. Chu Taishang was also clever, and the manner in which he went about doing things was much more thoughtful and well-rounded than even his fatherthe current ruler of Chufungwhich spoke for itself. Chu Taishang simply nodded and said, Do as you see fit.
From her seat on the corner of a cloud, Chu Ci was able to hear so of the words from the conversation. Although she felt a particularly foul feeling in her heart towards Fang Xing and believed he was despicable enough to have him die a hundred tis over, there was actually a slight sense of pity for him as well now that hed earned her big brothers hatred.
Tell , how can you be such a giant magnet for trouble? Wanluo worriedly asked after bringing Fang Xing back inside the grand hall.
After an event like this, Wanluos appraisal of Prince Chu Huang had increased. Not only had he quickly cald down in the heat of the mont for the sake of his rules, hed even gone so far as to kneel down and admit to his own fault. Chu Huang was indeed soone with great future prospects, to the point even Wanluo himself was a bit intimidated.
Furthermore, Prince Chu Huang kneeling in front of him and admitting his wrongdoing wouldnt affect the princes reputation whatsoever. Prince Chu Huang was only in Foundation Stage and no more than thirty years old; for him to kneel in front of an eight-hundred-year-old Golden Core Stage monster wasnt sothing deaning. No matter who heard of this, they would only raise their thumbs in approval and praise Chu Huang for being able to recognize his own mistakes and take action to change them.
Not only had this event not shaken Prince Chu Huangs Dao, but it had actually solidified it. By contrast, his pupil whod caused all this chaos was giving him a headache. Didnt he tell him to sweep the floors in the Wanluo Court? Since when did he go outside and kill the Yin Servants of the royal court?
Fang Xing saw the old bastard Wanluos questioning gaze and argued, They were the ones who wanted to rob and murder first!
Wanluo dismissively waved his hand. Whatever. Theres no need for you to tell all this crap. Since you already killed them, you killed them, its just that you need to be careful. This Chu Huang youth is the only one within the entire Chu royal clan in the past few hundred years to form a golden foundationhe isnt soone easy to deal with. The fact you provoked him will definitely beco a worriso problem. I will do my best to finish that spell for you; I cant look after you forever!
Fang Xing smirked. If I could only survive if you looked after forever, how would I be worthy to inherit the grand opportunity on your behalf?
Wanluos eyes lit up as he laughed. Thats so good boot licking you did there. Not only did you praise , but you also made sure you were included as wellyoure a kid with great potential. Just stay within the Wanluo Court for the ti being. Im almost done with the spell, and Ill send you to the Court of Enlightennt to study it once I am. If youre able to successfully master it, your battle prowess will undoubtedly beco much greater; it wouldnt be impossible to try facing this elite from the royal Chu clan then!
Fang Xing snorted. Truthfully, I wont need to be afraid of him as long as I reach Foundation Stage tier two!
Wanluo was a bit taken aback by this. You do know Prince Chu Huang has a golden foundation, right? And hes already at the peak of Foundation Stage tier three, only a step away from entering mid-Foundation Stage. To say he is invincible within the early-Foundation Stage would not be an exaggeration. As he spoke on, his brows creased slightly before he continued, By the way, I still havent asked you. What foundation did you form? Red or white?
Since Fang Xings foundation was contaminated by the demonic spirit, not even old Wanluo had been able to identify it with his power. He could only roughly guess that Fang Xings foundation was at least a high-quality red foundation, making it enough to study the spell he was currently working on. With his help, it was even impossible to increase it to a high-quality white foundation, so he never actually checked all too carefully. After hearing Fang Xing had killed two Foundation Stage Yin Servants, however, he suddenly rembered to ask.
Fang Xing considered it. Although his foundation was a low-quality purple foundation, it was contaminated by the demonic spirit, so the amount of power he could utilize was smallerabout equivalent to a golden foundation. Furthermore, Fang Xing had the ntality of a bandit and believed it was always better to keep so of his cards hidden. Its pretty ordinary; just barely a golden foundation he humbly responded.
Do you really need to exaggerate in front of ? Wanluo replied with disdain.
Speechless, Fang Xing replied, It really is a golden foundation.
Wanluo sneered and put a hand on Fang Xings shoulder. Activate your Qi!
Without any other options, Fang Xing reluctantly activated his Qi. A loud crashing noise sounded out as an extrely powerful foundation power began to move, crashing towards the old Wanluos palm. The force was so powerful it could shatter all of the Refined Iron within a three-foot radius, yet it was easily dissolved when it touched Wanluos palm. Wanluo thoroughly understood its strength and responded with surprise, The Qi is very powerful. Could it be high-quality white?
Fang Xing nearly ford tears. It really is a golden foundation!
Wanluo glanced at Fang Xings expression and declared, I know youre lying with just a single glance. Dont think your lies can get past !
Fang Xing was left speechless. Technically, he actually was lying.
Wanluo began to console him. Theres no need for you to be disheartened, though. For Chu Huang to form a golden foundation, first he had luck, and second he used the powers of the Dragons Blood Dungeon belonging to the royal clan, which can only be discovered and not sought. In fact, a high-quality white foundation is already quite rare. Within the past hundred years, youre the only person within all of Chufung to form a high-quality white foundation aside from that extrely talented girl from the Xiao clan. This alone is already quite a feat. I wonder who your shifu was in the Qing-Yun Sect to help you form such a solid base?
Fang Xing believed his connection with his eleventh uncle was no longer really a secret, so he didnt need to hide it anymore and answered truthfully. Its my eleventh uncle, Bai Qianzhang. Have you heard of him before? Hes much stronger than you are.
That person? Surprised, Wanluos expression beca solemn and respectful. I t him once three hundred years ago. He is indeed profoundly powerful, and his background is also extrely mysterious. For you to receive his teachings ans you have quite good luck, and for to take you in as my pupil after him would be considered my great pleasure!
Wanluo didnt ask much about what had happened in the Qing-Yun Sect, and instead simply advised Fang Xing to be very careful in the following days. Those from the Chu royal clan were not simply cultivators. These were people who would make sure they achieved their goals through any ansbe they fair or fouland so couldnt be treated like ordinary people.
Although Fang Xing just nodded with a playful grin in response, he was inwardly very thankful. Fang Xing had considered it before, but it truly seed his cultivation level alone made him a rare find within the younger generation. The old bastard Wanluo might not necessarily be able to find anyone who could replace Fang Xing, so he had to extend his protection. Fang Xing understood how valuable he was and wouldve been an idiot not to take as much advantage as he could.
From another viewpoint, it could be said that old Wanluo wasnt necessarily interested in Fang Xing himself, but on testing whether the spell he studied once before would actually be useful in resolving Fang Xings curse. If the old bastard Wanluo was just using him as a guinea pig, that would also give him reason to not want any harm to co to Fang Xing. When Fang Xing heard Wanluo give out warnings and advice, however, he felt that perhaps this old bastard truly did genuinely care about his safety, making Fang Xing feel surprisingly touched.
By the way, my dear grand elder, this is the talisman key to enter the Court of Enlightennt, right?
Things were scattered all over the place within the grand hall, and clusters of clutter were piled up all over the place. After entering the grand hall while talking with the old bastard Wanluo, he casually strolled all over the place, picking things up and grabbing them for a look. Wanluo simply thought Fang Xing was doing this because he was young and curious after seeing many things he didnt recognize, and he nodded when Fang Xing picked up a black Refined Iron talisman piece and asked the question. Youve got sharp eyes. It is indeed that, it is simply too early for you to use it right now!
Fang Xing then casually placed it back down before asking for so tales. Things like if Wanluos lovers in his youth had been beautiful or not, or who was the most powerful out of him and the other four Golden Cores within Snowy Mountain. All these questions had involved topics the old bastard Wanluo had been itching to answer, so there wasnt a question he turned down. Only after a full hour passed did Fang Xing finally stroll out the door.
That little bastard, how dare he not believe the great stories of and the top beauty of Chufung back in the days. Jeez this makes angry Wanluo muttered frustratedly to himself. In his gaze was a hint of softness, as though he was reliving the romantic affairs hed had in the past.
After so ti had passed, however, he suddenly felt sothing was wrong. After a quick sweep of his gaze across the room, he noticed that in the jade case on top of the tablewhere he stored the ten lodic Ice Palace talisman keysthere seed to be one missing.
Dammit, that little bastard stole one of the talisman keys.
