Chapter 11 (1/2)

Chapter 11: Heart Knows The Count*

Saying meaning the person knows what’s going on, not ignorant.

Spiritual Master Ling Wu’s original name was Su Lijiang.

His cultivation apt.i.tude was excellent, his comprehension level was also high, so he was personally accepted as the Star Disciple* by Wuliang Sect’s Great Elder and conferred the name Ling Wu. Due to this, he became of the same generation as Wuliang Sect’s Sect Leader and did not have to kowtow in greeting. This was sufficient to ill.u.s.trate that his status in Wuliang Sect was extremely high, it could be said to have unlimited potential. Su Lijiang also lived up to the expectations. In a short fifty years he successfully condensed a Golden Core with seven stripes. He had just recently became a Golden Core Stage cultivator, yet his strength was comparable to that of an ordinary cultivator in the Golden Core Middle Stage. If nothing unexpected was to happen, there will definitely be a day when he will break through Nascent Soul Stage and go even higher and farther.

The text actually translates to Door Closing disciple. Because person teaching = school = door, last student = door closing. However, I can’t think of a good way to translate that so I’ll be using Star Disciple, which the translator of My Big Brother’s Brain Has A Pit uses.

A handsome as a deity man like this with unbounded future potential, his entire body was sparkling bright. If there exists a stain, it would probably be this mortal wife taken fifty years ago.

For Spiritual Master Ling Wu to bring her here, what exactly was he thinking? No one knew. No one could guess, only he himself knew.

“That day, if it weren’t for you coming to the rescue, I would not have today. I’ve engraved your grace into my heart, I will never forget.” Spiritual Master Ling Wu’s tone of speaking was still light, carrying a cool indifference and distance. The moment his words fell, a light smiling expression appeared in the eyes of Chu Ling and the others at the side.

What the Spiritual Master Ling Wu talked about was grace rather than anything else. So the reason he sent for the person was for the sake of repaying the life-saving grace of back then?

That’s also right. This old woman is already in her seventies, her skin was pitch-black and her whole body was full of wrinkles. No matter what, it wasn’t possible for Spiritual Master Ling Wu to love her.

What Chu Ling and the others could understand, Su Tingyun could also understand. She wasn’t the real Old Madam, she didn’t have much hope and expectation in her heart. On the contrary, if this Spiritual Master Ling Wu really loved her, she would actually feel that the opposite side’s taste was too heavy. After all, the disparity between the two was too large, they were already not of the same world since a long time ago.

Couldn’t you(addressing higher powers) have let me be a highschool graduate?

Since it turns out that the Spiritual Master Ling Wu had sent for her in order to repay a debt of grat.i.tude, she felt much more relieved and also felt it easier to put forth her conditions: let Xiao Mei enter Wuliang Sect, give her some beautifying, skin nouris.h.i.+ng, body strengthening, reverse aging and youth restoring pills, then send her back to the mortal world to continue being a free and confident local tyrant of an Old Madam. Su Tingyun who was born and grew up in a peaceful era seriously could not fall in love with this Cultivating World in which there were frequent blood clashes and you could easily lose your little life from the smallest mistake.

She put both palms together and bowed towards Spiritual Master Ling Wu: “That year it was my delight to rescue you. Today, seeing Spiritual Master’s current condi

tion, I also feel relieved now.” Su Tingyun spoke, but omitted mention of husband and called him Spiritual Master the way Chu Ling and the others did. This move could be considered as she knew her place and protected his reputation.

But unexpectedly, Spiritual Master Ling Wu’s brows slightly knitted. He stared at her as if he was considering something before slowly saying: “Whatever requests you have you can bring them up, I can fulfill all of them for you.”

She was waiting just for this sentence!

“Can you accept the little girl I carried up into the Sect?” The first thing Su Tingyun thought of was Li Xinmei.

“Her base apt.i.tudes are pretty good, her comprehension is also quite good. It is a pity that she experienced a heavy injury in her childhood, causing her meridians to become damaged. Right now because her cultivation level is still low it’s not very apparent, but once the spiritual qi inside her body increases a bit more, she will no longer be able to endure it.” This time, the one that spoke was Chu Ling. She had given Li Xinmei medicine so she naturally also examined her body: “Her meridians have already been damaged to the point that it is hard to restore. In this lifetime, I’m afraid her cultivation will be limited to the Spirit Condensation Stage.”

Su Tingyun did not know a lot about cultivation, but she knew what Chu Ling meant was that in the future, Li Xinmei’s achievements would not be very high. Her heart suddenly felt a little nervous and she impatiently looked towards Spiritual Master Ling Wu.

Even the cultivators outside Wuliang Sect that guarded the gates and swept the floor were above Spirit Condensation Stage.

Right now Li Xinmei was still young. For a ten year old to be at Qi Condensation Second Stage everyone felt she could still be nurtured. But one that is estimated to only be able to reach Spirit Condensation Stage around twenty or thirty years of age all the way until death, this type of rubbish, what would Wuliang Sect accept her for?

Chu Ling thought this in her mind, but unexpectedly Spiritual Master Ling Wu nodded: “Alright.”

He paused for a moment before saying: “That little girl has a little innate skill with formation arrays. I’ll summon Ning Xuzi and have him take her as his disciple.”

Ning Xuzi is the small disciple of Chu Yunbo, the representative Eldest Disciple of Wuliang Sect’s Sect Leader. He was an expert in formation arrays and talismans. As of now, he was about two hundred years old and was already a fourth rank formation arrays master. Although his age was much greater than that of Spiritual Master LIng Wu, but based on seniority, he was like the grand-disciple of Spiritual Master Ling Wu and still had to gave him face(respect).

Ning Xuzi just happened to be accepting disciples too this time, but he was only accepting a fixed number, now this d.a.m.ned girl has pointlessly taken up a spot. If those disciples going through the trials outside found out they’d probably puke up blood from the anger.  Chu Ling looked towards the old woman, wanting to see what other ridiculous demands she’ll bring up.

Seeing Spiritual Master Ling Wu easily agree, Su Tingyun’s mood also became cheerful and she smiled happily to the point her eyes squinted into curves. Not waiting for her to continue, Spiritual Master Ling Wu spoke again: “What else?”
