Chapter 30

The Princ.i.p.al

Master Lang was lead along a winding path filled with plants and medicinal herbs. The Qi here was dense, letting the local fauna flourish. Soon they reached a stately building with majestic gold trim on the outside.

A sword statue stood in front of the building. Just by looking at it you could tell it had great mysteries regarding the dao of the sword hidden inside it.

Master Lang was actually startled when he saw the statue. The elder saw his expression from the corner of his eye and smirked. This was a statue personally carved by the founder of the Majestic Sword Academy whose sword arts was legendary throughout the world back then.

With such a powerful cultivator had personally carved such a thing, how could it be simple? In truth to those who studied the dao of the sword it was indeed a great boon to look upon.

Master Lang quickly recovered his senses and acted like nothing had happened. He followed the elder inside the building, there he was lead to an office.

Inside was a woman who looked like your average grandma except for the powerful ripples of power emanating from her frail body. “Master Artificer welcome. Please sit down.”

The princ.i.p.al was being very polite to Master Lang, and with good reason. A seven star artificer was as rare as phoenix feathers nowadays. They were able to craft some of the most powerful weapons and had great influence.

If a clan or sect was able to secure a seven star artificer for themselves it was guaranteed that their later generations would be adequately equipped. Not to mention that most powerful artificers also dabbled in alchemy.

After all, an alchemist have perfect control over flames, and knowledge on herbs. An artificer had perfect control of flames and knowledge on inscriptions and metals. Because of this many great alchemists and artificers had some success on both paths. Both had to have control over flame and learning herbs or materials is all that separated the two jobs.

Master Lang politely acknowledged the princ.i.p.al, giving her some face.

“So, I heard from Elders Li Xen and Li Xian that you were planning on staying at the academy.” The princ.i.p.al asked in questioning tone.

Master Lang nodded.“That is correct Madame Princ.i.p.al.”

She waved her hand dismissively. “Please, call me Princ.i.p.al Mayweather.”

“You may call me Artificer Lang.”

“I wanted ask what your disciples name is.”

“His name is Chu Shen. He is still a Man Stage cultivator.”
