Chapter 62 - What Did You Say to Him? (1/2)

Thanks to the Spiritual Energy Meridians, Yusa can now control three elements at the same time, but the Group decided that it would be better if she didn't show that for the time being, they decided to have her wait until she got to the 9th stage before showing her capabilities, that way it would look less suspicious.

Today, Krune's group was gathered in front of the Kaley City gate that goes to the Katiu Forest, they were just signing the agreement as always.

”The Mercenary Guild will take two to three weeks to send those Core Formation Experts to oversee Shinja's breakthrough, this is more than enough time for me to go and check my disciple, if you want, you can stay, It shouldn't take more than a few days.

Ao and the other shook their heads.

”We are very curious to see this disciple of yours, he is a wisp too, right? We want to see if the rainbow is following him as well.”

Krune ignored the last part of the comment and finished signing his name, after that the group left for Katiu Forest, this time they told Lu Ganan in advance that they would only take at most two weeks out and would be back before the guild sent the experts, every new core formation expert is an important asset in a weak place like Makui Planet, they had to make sure that it went without any troubles.

Krune's group moved at high speed, the Lizard Dragons lair was much closer than the other places they had to go in other danger zones, it's just that Krune's cultivation and element control in the past were still low, so he took a long time to leave it. Well, low if you consider himself now, compared to other cultivators or demon beasts, he was already very strong when he first left the Katiu Forest.

Four days later, Krune could already see the Lizard Dragons cave entrance, but something was strange, he could see with his Divine Sense that a few Foundation Establishment demon beasts were guarding the entrance, they were from different races too, Krune ignored that and quickly approached, when those beasts saw Krune's group getting close, they immediately entered in battle instance and were prepared to fight at any time.

Krune saw that but didn't do anything, Yusa and the others didn't know this place so they simply waited for Krune's words.

”Who are you? Where is the Lizards Dragons, Lakin and Ruik?”

The leader on the front, a demon fox in human form, seemed to be surprised, he then noticed the rainbow hair of Krune and immediately came forward.

”Relax everyone, its big master, he is back.”

Krune thought he heard it wrong.

'Big master? Who? Me?'

He didn't know what was happening and was about to ask when a youth appeared at the entrance of the Lizard Dragons cave, he looked quite ordinary, no one would pay much attention to him if he was put in the middle of a crowd, simply put, he was just like Krune, ordinary to the extreme, except for the fact that he didn't have Rainbow Hair or eyes.

Krune didn't have to ask, so what if he was in human form? There is no way he wouldn't recognize his disciple aura, before he could say anything, his disciple had already rushed forward and hugged him.

”Master!”

Krune just caressed his head and laughed out loud.

”Now look at this, seems like you were successful in your Foundation Establishment, master is happy for you.”

Krune then looked around and noticed all the beasts looking at him.

”Well, let's go inside first, you know I hate to attract attention.”

Lakin nodded and was about to bring Krune inside when he noticed the humans behind him.

”Master, those are?”

”I tell you inside, let's go”

Lakin agreed and they moved into the Spiritual Vein Lake room, as soon as Krune got there he was surprised, the amount of spiritual energy in the cave was several times higher than what it was in his time, but that wasn't all, what really surprised him was the other beings inside.

Wisps! Wisps everywhere!

Let alone Krune, even Shinja and the others had never seen so much wisps together before.

”This…”

Lakin laughed

”I brought them here, I often went out to train myself, in the end because the inner parts of the Katiu Forest have more spiritual energy than the outer parts, I found a lot of wisps during the time master was out, the majority of them were new wisps just like me who lucked out and didn't get eaten.”

Krune nodded

”I see, but what are you going to do with all of them, it's not like you can take care of them forever, also, what are those beasts outside guarding the cave?”

Lakin then explained what was happening.

Turns out that Lakin simply didn't have the heart to leave the wisps behind, so he brought them with him, his plan is to train a few of them until they can defend the rest and then he will leave, some of the wisps were already at the 8th stage of Qi Condensation and there were even two at the 9th, they were coincidently cultivating at that moment, so Krune could feel the Spiritual Energy Meridians on them, it seemed like Lakin had taught a few of them how to cultivate the Spiritual Energy Meridians.

As for the demon beasts guarding outside, Lakin had challenged every single one of them and won, as the victor, he simply demanded them to protect the spiritual vein lake cave and keep the secret, to make sure that they wouldn't go back on their words, Lakin used the blood contracts, the thing about Big Master was something that Lakin made out.

”I see, what about the Lizard Dragons and Ruik?”

Lakin just smiled and said.

”The Lizard Dragons had all become Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts, their dragon blood was really impressive, even without the Spiritual Energy Meridians, they can still fight those one stage above simply by relying on their blood line, they should be out hunting for food at moment, their Big brother is even at the second stage now, they are all cultivating the pseudo meridians and it shouldn't take long for their big brother to finish creating the ninth pseudo meridian, after that he can start creating his first Spiritual Energy Meridian.”

Krune nodded, the brothers and sisters Lizard Dragons had pretty much turned out the way he predicted.

Lakin then continued.

”As for Ruik.”

He then turned to look at a certain corner where one could see a big nest, now that Krune paid attention to that, he could hear some snores coming from it, there was no need for Lakin to say anything more, Krune just laughed and moved close, arriving there he could see a Two Headed demon snake sleeping like a rock, Krune gathered some energy in one of his legs and they gave a kick. The poor snake flew quite a few meters away.

”Who dares to touch the great Ruik? Are you looking to die?”

Krune laughed even more

”Great Ruik your head! I, your grandfather, can kick you anytime I feel like! Don't like it? Then come at me!”

Ruik heard that and was enraged, only when he turned to look at who said that that his expression changed.

”It was you! The worm wisp.”

Yusa and the others heard that and looked at Krune.

”Worm wisp?”

Krune's mouth twitched.

”Are you looking for a fight?”

”You were the one who kicked me!”

”You snore too loud!”

”It shows that I'm living and kicking!”

Lakin got close to Krune's friends and said.

”Just ignore them, they will stop eventually, it doesn't seem like it but they like each other a lot.”

Krune and Ruik retorted in unison.

”Who said I like this guy?”

Yusa and the others burst in laugh, they are close indeed, Yusa took the opportunity to ask.

”By the way, what is this worm wisp about?”

Ruik's eyes immediately lit up, he completely ignored Krune's existence or the fact that the one who asked was a human who appeared while he was sleeping.

”Oh, let me talk about the day that this guy first acquired his human form.”

Krune was just about to stop him when suddenly, Shinja and Ao covered his mouth, they very much wish to hear that story, Krune couldn't help but think.

”Traitors!”
