Chapter 258: Chapter 116 Zhou Cang Takes on a Disciple (Part 1)
“Yes, all these are just a greeting gift, if only our fragments of the heavens match, let alone tens of thousands of strands, even millions, tens of millions, or even billions of strands, it wouldn’t be very difficult for me!”
Seeing that the guy in front of him wasn’t interested in becoming a disciple but was so eager for Heavenly Mandate Vitality, Elder Zhou, although frustrated, couldn’t help but speak.
“Billions of strands?”
Zhang Xuan’s breathing hastened.
With so many strands, the Pathos of Heaven could charge into the Heart of Tranquil Water in the blink of an eye, and I could intensely practice the other fragments of the heavens. I wouldn’t have to worry about this stuff anymore…
In that case, becoming a disciple wouldn’t be out of the question.
“Elder Zhou, have you no shame, using Heavenly Mandate Vitality as a bargaining chip? Kid, don’t listen to him, come try mine first. If it fits with my fragment of the heavens, you can absorb and take away the Heavenly Mandate Vitality within this halo!”
Feng Yuanping smiled lightly, touched the halo lightly with his finger, and a surging Heavenly Mandate Vitality immediately flowed in, exuding an intoxicating aura. Zhang Xuan knew at a glance that there were no less than several hundred thousand strands!
Clearly more than what Elder Zhou offered.
“Come, try mine… If you become my disciple, not to mention Heavenly Mandate Vitality, I’ll provide you with as many medicinal ingredients as you want…”
Miao Hengsheng also touched the halo, infusing three to four hundred thousand strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality into it.
“This…”
Seeing all three masters being so hospitable, Zhang Xuan wore a conflicted look on his face but still shook his head after a moment.
With the help of the Library of Heaven’s Path, he could learn any fragment of the heavens without the others detecting it. But by doing so, he would inevitably have to leave with one of them, which would make it impossible to go and rescue Empyrean Kong shi.
Most importantly, he carried far too many secrets. Brief contact with them wasn’t a problem, but if he followed them, being together every day, it would be hard to guarantee that they wouldn’t be discovered.
The Library of Heaven’s Path and his identity as a Mandate Chaos Master were too terrifying. If they were detected, he wasn’t so sure about the world’s master-disciple relationships…
With his current strength, he could deal with powerful masters like Shi Yunjing and Qian Yuhuan in the New World, but facing these three here, he likely wouldn’t escape their pursuit even if he fled to the New World, and they would strike him down on the spot.
“The kindness of the three seniors is well received. As for the test, let’s skip it. Although I don’t know exactly what your fragments of the heavens are, if I’m not mistaken, if you want to find someone, it could be one of these people. If it’s convenient for you, you could send the halo over there and let them test…”
Zhang Xuan pointed to the disciples behind him.
Although he didn’t know why the three of them came here to find people, it was very likely, just like Zhao Ya and Zheng Yang before, that his disciples had showcased their talents during the assessment and been discovered by someone.
“Among them?”
Seeing him still refuse and point to others, Miao Hengsheng frowned, and his eyes were drawn instinctively to the people Zhang Xuan had mentioned.
They all seemed to be twenty-two or twenty-three years old, and the strongest among them had reached the Dharma Form Realm. Such talent was far inferior to that of Yan Sansan.
“Not bad!”
Zhang Xuan nodded, “If you don’t believe me, you can try…”
“Alright then!”
Seeing that he was unwilling, Miao Hengsheng was displeased but still nodded. With a gentle push of his palm, the halo expanded, enveloping everyone.
“Each of you, circulate the fragment of the heavens you’ve comprehended. Once it matches with mine, you can actively absorb the halo…”
Miao Hengsheng spoke.
Having the halo cover everyone, even with his strength, was somewhat strenuous, which was the main reason why he hadn’t done so from the start.
But now, having already lost face once, it would be utterly embarrassing if this kid still refused.
“Yes!”
Hearing this, Luo Ruoxin and the others nodded at the same time, each circulating their own fragments of the heavens. In an instant, the halo in the sky was pulled as if by some force, and violently surged into Wei Ruyan’s body.
“This, this…”
Miao Hengsheng’s body shook, his face immediately revealing excitement.
It seemed he was right after all; his disciple was indeed among this group of people.
He hurriedly looked toward the figure absorbing the strength, a girl in her twenties with a cool and clear expression, slightly frail.
“Is this… the Celestial Saint of the Way of Poison?”
Noticing something, Miao Hengsheng’s pupils contracted, and he immediately began trembling with excitement.
No wonder she could comprehend the Poison Dao Destiny. It turned out she was the Celestial Saint of Poison Dao, a super talent even he coveted.
While others practicing Poison Dao Destiny had to be careful, this girl could literally snack on poisons…
“Worthy of being my disciple, truly a talent extraordinary, a figure of grace!” Miao Hengsheng laughed heartily in excitement.
The girl before him not only possessed high talent but was also pretty… very good, very good!
“I’ll try!”
Seeing him successfully find one, Feng Yuanping didn’t hesitate, and likewise expanded the halo to envelop everyone.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the halo’s strength surged into a young man’s body.
“Good, good…”
Feng Yuanping also laughed out loud.
Earlier, he’d feared that the one who comprehended the Soul Path Destiny would be too old or lacking in talent, but it seemed he was quite satisfied now.
“What’s your name?”
Unable to restrain himself any longer, Feng Yuanping asked directly.
“I am Lu Chong!” The youth bowed with his hands clasped.
It was Zhang Xuan’s somewhat quiet disciple, Lu Chong.
“Good!”
Feng Yuanping nodded, “Would you be willing to follow me and practice?”
Lu Chong looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully and seeing his subtle nod, then clasped his hands again and bowed, “I am willing!”
“Very good, very good!”
Feng Yuanping smiled, looking at Elder Zhou, “Elder Zhou, we’ve found our disciples, each with exceptional talent and remarkable valor. Now it’s your turn…”
“My disciple is definitely among them!”
Seeing the others boasting, Elder Zhou snorted, “Rest assured, my disciple will only be more brilliant and outstanding than yours. Once I find them, I will treat them as my own son or daughter with great care.”
“As your own son?”
Miao Hengsheng nodded, “You’re still as temperamental as ever, good, I also want to see who has such fortune.”
Elder Zhou, not wanting to say more, pushed gently, and his halo, just like Miao Hengsheng and Feng Yuanping’s, enveloped everyone.
“Huh? No movement?”
After waiting for a moment, the halo remained motionless, showing no sign of being absorbed.
Elder Zhou was stunned.
This shouldn’t be. The others had just been absorbed like that, could it be that his disciple was not among these people?
“Where are you, my dear disciple?”
With a conflicted face, Elder Zhou mumbled to himself, just about to expand the halo further, when he then saw a giant horse pushing through the crowd from behind, head held high, it took a fierce breath in.
Whoosh!
The halo filling the room was utterly swallowed by its gaping mouth.
