Chapter 1550: Acquaintances
“I know that I shouldn’t have any other extravagant thoughts after receiving so many treasures from Master, but… but I always had a wish during these years…” The black-robed burly man did not stand up, but he hesitated and said so.
“I know. I promised you that I will accept you as my disciple if you can advance to the Crystallization Period. Although I will leave soon, if you still want me to be your master, then so be it.” Liu Ming said with a faint smile.
“Disciple pays homage to Master!” The black-robed burly man looked overjoyed. He knelt to the ground and kowtowed 9 times to Liu Ming.
“Okay, get up.” Liu Ming nodded with a smile, but he sighed.
Although Zhong Wendao had poor spiritual roots, he had a rare spiritual body and was persistent. Otherwise, he would not be able to cultivate to the present level. Moreover, he was a descendant of Senior Nun Zhong, so he should accept him as an official disciple.
After thousands of years of practice, he finally had a successor.
“Although I’m your Master, I have given you no guidance in these years. Fortunately, you have a good aptitude… This is the gift for your apprenticeship ceremony.” Liu Ming took out a jade box, then after thinking for a moment, he took out another jade box and handed them to the black-robed burly man.
The black-robed burly man took them with both hands. He opened the first jade box. There was a set of purple armor inside. It seemed to be forged with some kind of special ore. It exuded emitted fluorescence lights, looking very spiritual.
In the second jade box, there was a black ball and a jade slip. The surface of the ball was engraved with dense tiny runes, emitting strong spiritual power fluctuations.
“This Sparkle Armor is made of sparkling stone. It can protect you from attacks by Real Pellet State powerhouses. In addition, it can also improve the speed of absorbing yin qi, which will also be of great benefit for you to practice the Hell Bone Secret.” Liu Ming said.
The black-robed burly man was overjoyed.
“As for this ball, it is a Celestial State puppet. If you spend some time refining it according to the method in the jade slip, you can control it freely. It can exert the strength of the Celestial State early stage. However, to control this puppet, you need superb spirit stone. There are some in the box. Without the spiritual power of the spirit stones, this puppet will be nothing more than a dead object.” Liu Ming continued.
The black-robed burly man was shocked.
Celestial State puppet is simply unheard of. With this thing, the Savage Ghost Sect will be able to dominate the Sea Region with just a little effort.
“I’m not giving you this thing to show off your power, do you understand?” Liu Ming saw through the black-robed burly man’s thoughts and said faintly.
“Yes.” The black-robed burly man was startled, and he replied respectfully.
“This puppet will be the sect treasure of the Savage Ghost Sect. All you need to do is let the grand elders of all generations know that this thing exists immediately, and it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. I only give it to you to protect the Savage Ghost Sect. I guess you know the logic of wealth brings trouble. The Sea Region is not as simple as you think.” Liu Ming said lightly.
“I will keep it in mind, Master.” The black-robed burly man was shocked and hurriedly agreed respectfully.
Liu Ming smiled and disappeared from the secret room in a flash.
“You can only let a few elders in the sect know about my return. Don’t let the news spread.” Liu Ming’s voice sounded in the black-robed burly man’s ears, and then quickly dissipated.
The black-robed burly man stiffened and stood there blankly. After a moment, he bowed respectfully 3 times where Liu Ming had just stood.
…
In a building of the Savage Ghost Sect, there are placed the elders of the past generations, the spiritual tablets of each generation of elders, peak masters, and Spirit Master were placed here. It was the place where the Savage Ghost Sect worshipped its ancestors. This place was extremely important.
There was a Crystallization Period elder guarding this place all year round, so there were no ordinary disciples patrolling around.
At this moment, Liu Ming emerged in the building after a fluctuation.
He looked around indifferently at the tablets and unexpectedly saw many spiritual tablets of familiar people here.
Master’s Junior Yan, the elder of the Crystallization Period who worked hard for the sect, Master’s Junior Ruan who gave him the Hell Bone Secret, Gui Ruquan, the master of the Nine Infant Faction, Sect Master Huang Shi…
These people who were once familiar had now exhausted their lifespan, turning into a pile of loess.
After a moment, he noticed a black spiritual tablet with the words “Zhong Lingxiu” written on it.
Senior Aunt Zhong had passed away many years ago, so he was not surprised by this, but there was still a trace of sadness in his eyes.
After sighing softly, he picked up a bunch of incense from the table beside. After lighting it, he bowed respectfully and paid homage to his former master.
…
Over the Savage Ghost Sect, Jia Lan and Ye Tianmei stood side by side, seeming to be talking softly.
At this moment, Liu Ming emerged in between them.
“Husband, are the matters here finished?” Jia Lan asked.
Liu Ming nodded, then he asked,
“Do both of you want to meet your acquaintances too?”
“I don’t need it. Several familiar people in the sect should be gone now. But Sister Tianmei wants to go back to Tianyue Sect, right?” Jia Lan shook her head, looked at Ye Tianmei, and said.
Ye Tianmei nodded lightly with a hint of reminiscence.
“That’s fine, I also have a few acquaintances in Tianyue Sect.” As Liu Ming said, the figure of Zhang Xiu Niang could not help but appear in his mind.
This woman possessed a psychic sword physique. She was already in the Condensation Period later stage back then, and she was regarded as one of the “Three Saints and Six Scions” by the Yunchuan Alliance. She enjoyed generous training resources. After hundreds of years, with her aptitude, she should have advanced to the Crystallization Period.
…
Tianyue Sect.
Over the past hundreds of years, Tianyue Sect, as the top sect in the Great Xuan Kingdom, had developed rapidly. Although Savage Ghost Sect suddenly had a great boost of power, Tianyue Sect still ranked 1 in the Great Xuan Kingdom.
Near the sect, a group of patrolling disciples were patrolling the mountain gate in a mechanical flying boat.
Suddenly, a ray of white light shot out from the sect and disappeared. The white light stirred up a strong wind which shook the flying boat.
“That escape light should be Elder Zhang Xiu Niang, right.” On the flying boat, a white-robed young man at the Spirit Apostle later stage looked toward the direction where the escape light went and said with envy.
“Apart from Elder Zhang, who else in the Great Xuan Kingdom can have such speed in sword controlling technique!” Another person nodded and said. His words were full of pride.
Several people on the flying boat had longing expressions on their faces. Zhang Xiuniang was now the top elder of the Tianyue Sect. Her cultivation had reached the peak of the Crystallization Period, and her sword controlling techniques were second to none in the Yunchuan Continent. She was almost as good as Ye Tianmei back then.
This woman and the Savage Ghost Sect’s Grand Elder Zhong Wendao were now the most powerful cultivators in the Yunchuan Continent. They had the greatest hope of advancing to the Real Pellet State.
Moreover, Zhang Xiu Niang’s appearance was unparalleled. Over the past hundreds of years, countless Crystallization Period young cultivators from various sects across the continent had come to propose marriage, but they were all turned away.
“Elder Zhang looks a little in a hurry. Where is she going?” The young man in a white robe said to himself.
“Elder of course has important matters to deal with. We should focus on patrolling the sect.” The leader who had been silent said faintly.
Hearing this, several other people hurriedly shut their mouths.
Zhang Xiuniang’s escape light flew out of the Tianyue Sect, flew eastward for 15 minutes, and landed in a mountain range. The sword light faded, revealing a heroic and beautiful face. She was looking around with excitement.
Hundreds of years had passed, but her appearance had not changed much, except that there was a hint of determination in her expression.
“Xiuniang.”
Ye Tianmei in palace costume appeared in front of Zhang Xiu Niang.
“Ye… Master’s Junior Ye! It’s really you. When I received your Divine Thought, I really couldn’t believe it!” Zhang Xiuniang said excitedly.
The next moment, Liu Ming and Jia Lan appeared next to Ye Tianmei.
“You… you are… Liu Liu Ming. No, Senior Liu!” Zhang Xiuniang was startled when she saw Liu Ming. She murmured softly and took a step back.
“Miss Zhang, long time no see.” Liu Ming nodded slightly and said with a faint smile.
Zhang Xiuniang turned her gaze immediately to Jia Lan beside Liu Ming.
“This is Jia Lan. She was also a disciple of the Savage Ghost Sect. Like Tianmei, she is now my dual cultivation companion.” Liu Ming said with a faint smile.
“Companion… Master’s Junior Ye too…” Zhang Xiu Niang looked at Ye Tianmei in shock.
Ye Tianmei looked slightly blushed and nodded.
“I see. No wonder Senior Liu had been trying every possible means to find out the whereabouts of Master’s Junior Ye since you returned to Yunchuan Continent last time.” Zhang Xiu Niang was startled, then smiled slightly. There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes which disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“We won’t stay long this time. We will leave as soon as we see our old friends. Xiuniang, here are some cultivation resources and some sword cultivation tombs. I will leave them to you.” Ye Tianmei recovered from the shyness and handed a storage device to Zhang Xiuniang.
“Thank you, Master’s Junior Ye.” Zhang Xiuniang’s face darkened when she heard this, then she said respectfully and took a quick glance at Liu Ming.
A quarter of an hour later, an escape light shot out from the mountain range near Tianyue Sect and went away in one direction.
Zhang Xiuniang watched the escape light disappear into the distance, stunned.
After a moment, she sighed, feeling bitter in her heart, and returned to the Tianyue Sect.
