C47 A Strange Old Man



C47 A Strange Old Man

3The girl really couldn't calm down. The Shapeless Step needed to be cultivated to the Minor Success Stage. Without three to five months or even longer, it was impossible to do it. As for this junior brother in front of her... He had only used three days to achieve the results of several months of cultivation. Which monstrous genius was he?    0

    

"He should have comprehended it!" The young girl thought in her heart. She looked at Qi Zhuohao and asked, "May I know how to address junior brother? My name is Xiang Yun!"    

    

The only thing Xiang Yun could think of in her heart was that this young man in front of her had a sudden enlightenment while cultivating the Shapeless Step. Some martial artists with extremely heaven-defying comprehension abilities cultivated martial skills such as the Secret Technique and so on. Comparatively speaking, it was easy to gain an epiphany. Cultivating it would yield twice the result with half the effort!    

    

"I'm called Qi Zhuohao, I'm an inner court disciple who just advanced." Qi Zhuohao quickly replied. This Xiang Yun not only looked pure and lovely, but also cute. Qi Zhuohao had a very good impression of her. It was always good to have more friends when one first came to the inner sect.    

    

As soon as Qi Zhuohao finished speaking, Xiang Yun's brows wrinkled and her eyes revealed a surprised expression. She asked, "You are Qi Zhuohao, the one who comprehended the Desolate Force?"    

    

Qi Zhuohao's name was very famous, and she had heard that he had advanced to the inner sect three days ago. Xiang Yun really wanted to meet that legendary monstrous disciple, but Qi Zhuohao had never shown himself. She never thought that this person would be Qi Zhuohao, no wonder...    

    

"Uh! It's me!" Qi Zhuohao replied helplessly. People were afraid of being famous. This sentence was indeed correct. The news of him comprehending the Desolate Force had spread like wildfire in Afterglow Peak, and it was the inner circle disciples who were secretly paying attention to him. There must be a lot of core disciples, and he wanted to keep a low profile and cultivate. However, it seemed like a storm would inevitably arise in the future.    

    

"Senior Xiang Yun, if there is nothing else, I will leave first! "It was a delightful thing to talk to a beauty, but Qi Zhuohao still had more important things to do.    

    

From Xiang Yun's words, Qi Zhuohao already knew that he had spent three days cultivating the Shapeless Step, but he did not notice the passing of time. It was as if only a moment had passed. He had indeed gained enlightenment.    

    

"Alright, junior brother, please!" Xiang Yun replied. She really wanted to ask Qi Zhuohao about something. However, it was her first time meeting Qi Zhuohao, so they were not familiar with each other. There were too many questions and questions, so she could only suppress them in her heart.    

    

Furthermore, Xiang Yun really wanted to spar with Qi Zhuohao. Rumors had it that even if Qi Zhuohao didn't use the Desolate Force, his strength was still invincible in the Outer Sect region. It was likely that fighting such a genius would also help her increase her strength.    

    

Xiang Yun did not look down on Qi Zhuohao because of his low realm. On the contrary, she was very afraid of Qi Zhuohao!    

    

After bidding goodbye to Xiang Yun, Qi Zhuohao returned the three secret manuals to the supervisor and walked out of Martial Arts Academy. Just when he wanted to find someone to ask about the location of Essence Martial Hall, he saw a familiar figure.    

    

"Senior Brother Liu Ding, where are you going?"    

    

Qi Zhuohao shouted. Not far away, Liu Ding, who was lowering his head in thought, suddenly looked up. After being surprised for a while, he walked a few steps to Qi Zhuohao. He sighed and said, "So it's Junior Brother Qi. My Essence Martial Spirit Serum has been used up. I'm going to Essence Martial Hall to get my Essence Martial Spirit Serum. Oh right, Junior Brother Qi, where have you been these few days? I was looking for you, but I didn't manage to find you. "    

    

"Senior Brother Liu Ding is looking for me?" Qi Zhuohao asked in surprise. Liu Ding had once asked him to spar with him. Could it be now?    

    

Qi Zhuohao did not have the time to spar with Liu Ding. He was afraid that Liu Ding would get entangled with him. He quickly changed the topic and said, "Senior Brother Liu Ding, I have been practicing martial skills in Martial Arts Academy these few days. Coincidentally, I also want to go to the Essence Martial Hall. Let's go together!"    

    

"Sure!" Liu Ding replied. He did not mention anything about sparring. Qi Zhuohao felt relieved in his heart and followed him slowly.    

    

"Senior Brother Liu Ding, you seem to have something on your mind?" Along the way, Liu Ding did not say anything. He just lowered his head and thought about something. Qi Zhuohao could naturally see that Liu Ding's expression was extremely depressed. He must have encountered something unpleasant, although he wasn't very familiar with Liu Ding. However, Qi Zhuohao knew Liu Ding's character. Liu Ding was a straightforward and lively person.    

    

Hearing this, Liu Ding sighed again. Then, with a somewhat helpless tone, he replied, "Junior Brother Qi, there's something you don't know. Just yesterday, I was beaten up and I lost 10 contribution points. As for that person... Sigh! "    

    

"Oh, he was beaten up?" Qi Zhuohao's tone was very surprised. With Liu Ding's sixth level of Essence Condensation, ordinary inner circle disciples were no match for him. One should know that... In the Afterglow Peak Inner Sect, there were only a few disciples who were at least at the seventh level of Element Gathering Realm.    

    

"Senior Brother Liu Ding, what's going on? Who is that person?"    

    

Qi Zhuohao asked in surprise. He was speechless. Why were the people he met always beaten up? Just like Qian Qingfeng, and his intuition told Qi Zhuohao that the person who beat up Liu Ding was definitely not simple. If there was a chance, he would need to see it for himself!    

    

"Ai!" Liu Ding sighed again. Then he continued to say, "Junior Brother Qi, you don't know. That person's name is Hong Xin. She is one of the two beauties of Afterglow Peak Inner Sect. I like her. But she beat me up..."    

    

After listening to Liu Ding's story, Qi Zhuohao shook his head helplessly. Initially, he wanted to help Liu Ding so that he could experience the strength of 'that person'. But now, it seemed like it was impossible.    

    

Hong Xin was one of the two beauties of Afterglow Peak Inner Sect, equally famous as Xiang Yun. Moreover, she was much stronger than Xiang Yun, and Hong Xin was not the one who challenged the other disciples for contribution points. On the contrary, she kept a low profile and others did not provoke her. She would not make a move.    

    

The reason Liu Ding was beaten up was because he went to find Hong Xin to confess to her. As long as someone confessed to Hong Xin, Liu Ding would definitely end up like this. Hong Xin set a rule for the people who pursued her. Only by defeating her would one be qualified to be her boyfriend.    

    

Qi Zhuohao shook his head and smiled bitterly. He now knew that Liu Ding was not depressed because he lost 10 contribution points. It was because he was not fated to be with Hong Xin that he was troubled!    

    

"Senior Brother Liu Ding, this kind of thing is about fate. If you can't beat senior sister Hong Xin, you have to work harder to cultivate. Could it be that you give up your pursuit of senior sister because of this setback? That would be a coward!"    

    

Qi Zhuohao did not know how to comfort people. He could only use goading to make Liu Ding raise his spirits. After all, Liu Ding was the first person he had met since he came to the inner sect. He might become his good friend. He did not want to see Liu Ding so depressed.    

    

Sure enough, after hearing Qi Zhuohao's words, Liu Ding slapped his forehead. His expression changed. He shook his head and said, "That's right. Junior Brother Qi, you're right. This time, my confession failed. And next time, Hong Xin is mine. She won't be able to escape."    

    

"Hehe! It's good that Senior Brother Liu Ding can figure it out." Qi Zhuohao was speechless. This Liu Ding's words were really interesting!    

    

Qi Zhuohao followed Liu Ding and walked around the inner sect. Not long after, a splendid palace appeared in front of them. This palace was the Essence Martial Hall, the most luxurious palace in the entire inner sect.    

    

"Junior Brother Qi, this is the Essence Martial Hall. You have just advanced to the inner sect. You can get three bottles of Essence Martial Spirit Serum for the first time, which is the cultivation resources you have for the past month. As for me, I can only get one bottle. Sigh! This is really depressing! "    

    

It wasn't hard to tell that Liu Ding's tone carried a hint of envy. Qi Zhuohao shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart. There was a rule to receive the Essence Martial Spirit Serum for cultivation. Other than being able to receive three bottles for the first time, he would only be able to receive one bottle every ten days. Of course, the disciples could also use their contribution points to exchange for the Essence Martial Spirit Serum. However, the amount of points needed to exchange for Essence Martial Spirit Serum was simply too much!    

    

It was useless even if Liu Ding was envious. After collecting this bottle of Essence Martial Spirit Serum, he could only wait patiently for ten days before coming back to collect it again. This was also the rule set by the sect to prevent the disciples from wasting the Essence Martial Spirit Serum. Furthermore, once a disciple advanced to the Great Circle of Yuan Condensation, he would no longer be able to enjoy the benefits of the Essence Martial Spirit Serum's resources. The Essence Martial Spirit Serum was only supplied to inner sect disciples who were not at the Great Circle of the Essence Gathering Realm. A disciple would not be able to accumulate enough resources to be brought out of the sect.    

    

The higher a martial artist's realm was, the greater the consumption of using the Essence Martial Spirit Serum to cultivate. It was obvious that a bottle of Essence Martial Spirit Serum was not enough to make Liu Ding, who was at the sixth level of Essence Condensation, cultivate for ten days. Regarding Essence Martial Spirit Serum, there was no inner sect disciple who did not desire it!    

    

Changing the topic, Liu Ding continued with a serious tone, "Junior Brother Qi, when you see the palace master later, you have to be polite. The palace master has a weird temper. If you make him unhappy, he has the right to delay you for a few days to collect the Essence Martial Spirit Serum. Remember! "    

    

"There's such a thing? "Qi Zhuohao muttered in his heart. He did not understand the strange temperament of the Essence Martial Hall's palace master.    

    

"Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother Liu Ding. I will remember it!" Although he was surprised in his heart, Qi Zhuohao did not dare neglect it and replied. He followed Liu Ding into the Essence Martial Hall. At this moment, Liu Ding: His expression and attitude have become extremely serious!    

    

There were many inner circle disciples in the Afterglow Peak, but only a few came to collect the Essence Martial Spirit Serum. The magnificent Essence Martial Hall was extremely quiet, and the atmosphere was even a little strange and quiet. It was completely different from the other places in the inner circle.    

    

When Qi Zhuohao arrived at the main hall of the Essence Martial Hall, he could clearly see that there was only a grey-haired old man sitting lazily at the counter, reading a book in his hand. He should be the master of the Essence Martial Hall.    

    

"Junior Brother Qi, the master of ___ is reading a book. You must not disturb him, understand?"    

    

Liu Ding said in a low voice, then quietly walked to the side and stood still, as if he was afraid of making a sound that would alert the master of ___. Seeing this, Qi Zhuohao was speechless and helpless. He could only slowly walk to Liu Ding's side and stand.    

    

"I wonder what this old man's background is?" Qi Zhuohao thought. He knew very well that the rules of the inner sect did not have any relevant records about this old man. And the old man could detain a disciple's Essence Martial Spirit Serum. It was impossible that the Peak Lord Du Qingluo did not know about this matter. And Du Qingluo actually let this old man do as he pleased, this proved that this old man was not a simple person.    

    

Furthermore, Qi Zhuohao was very shocked in his heart, because this old man's realm was not inferior to the Peak Lord, Du Qingluo. It was a real Essence Incarnating Expert. Such an expert was actually the palace master of the Afterglow Peak Inner Sect. This...    

    

The old man seemed to be unaware of Qi Zhuohao and Qi Zhuohao's arrival. He looked at the books, laughing and sighing. Time passed by, but Qi Zhuohao and the old man could only wait without moving.    

    

About an hour later, there was another disciple in Essence Martial Hall. The disciple didn't dare to disturb the old man, just like Qi Zhuohao and the old man. Another fifteen minutes passed. The old man finally put down the book in his hand and turned to look at Qi Zhuohao and the other two.    

    

"How long have you been here? Why didn't you warn me when you came here to collect the Essence Martial Spirit Serum?"    

    

The surprised gaze was quickly retracted, and the old man's face immediately darkened. Qi Zhuohao smiled bitterly in his heart. They didn't dare to disturb the old man while he was reading. However, their actions had undoubtedly become a mistake in the eyes of the old man. This old man was really strange!
