Chapter 227

“Senior, do you have any high rank Magical Beast essence blood?” hopefully asked Long Chen .

And as he had expected, that old man nodded, “Of course . I have plenty of fourth rank Magical Beast essence blood . Do you need it?”

He had heard from Wilde that this master of his had brought him hunting and that he often ate fourth rank Magical Beasts . That was why his body was so powerful now .

Fourth rank Magical Beast essence blood was extremely precious . It had broad uses from tempering the body to being used to refine pills .

Long Chen was delighted by this reply and asked, “Can senior give me some?”

“Something like that is a small matter . And don’t call me senior all the time; it doesn’t sound good . My name is Cang Ming, and since you don’t want to accept me as master, then just call me uncle Cang Ming . ” Cang Ming waved his hand .

Long Chen glanced at Ling Yun-zi . If he called Cang Ming ‘uncle’, then wouldn’t that place him in the same generation as the sect leader?

Ling Yun-zi saw what Long Chen was thinking and lightly smiled, “There’s nothing to worry about that . Our Xuantian Monastery isn’t the same as other sects . Other sects all have disciples accepting masters and masters accepting disciples, and so they care more for seniority . But our Xuantian Monastery’s style is more similar to the secular world’s schools, and we’re not such sticklers for seniority . ”

So Long Chen turned to Cang Ming and smiled, “Long Chen greets uncle Cang Ming . ”

“Hehe, little fellow, I really do like you . That kind of arrogance and ruthlessness within you is just like how I was back in the day .

“Only people like you are able to truly stand out when fighting against those sinister Corrupt path disciples .

“As for those greenhouse cabbages, G.o.dd.a.m.n, it’s not even worth evaluating them . Little Ling-zi, you don’t need to object .

“I’ve long since said the monastery’s rules are faulted . With such a framework, what kind of c.r.a.p did you think you could raise?

“Tch, in a true battle, is the winner who is stronger? Is the winner who has more Battle Skills? Is the winner who has the most beautiful technique?

“Wrong! The goal of fighting is to use the least effort to kill your opponents . If you can kill someone in one blow, absolutely do not waste a second blow .

“If you encounter an opponent stronger than you, then you have to do it with exactly the same att.i.tude as Long Chen did: you might kill me, but I’ll also bring you down with me .

“But what about that idiot, that Wu something?”

Cang Ming couldn’t even think of his name . Tu Fang supplemented, “Wu Qi . ”

“Right, Wu Qi, he’s just a lump of dogs.h.i.+t . With that kind of empty arrogance and conceit, he’ll p.i.s.s himself the instant he encounters those savage Corrupt path experts .

“In a life and death final battle, he still wanted to use little schemes and play some nonsense psychological war . These are the ‘experts’ you’ve raised?

“All you did raise was a punch of pigs for the slaughter to send to the Corrupt path’s disciples . Continuing like that, every subsequent generation of disciples in our monastery will continue to decline . ”

Cang Ming became more and more angry as he spoke, in the end sighing . Melancholy appeared in his eyes, seeming as if he had remembered a certain something .

Ling Yun-zi didn’t say anything in reply to this scolding . He also knew the monastery’s rules had problems, but those rules were set from above, and he was unable to change them .

“Little Ling-zi, at the beginning your talent was actually extremely great, but you lack a certain ruthlessness now . You act too overcautious about everything; you have no boldness .

“And in the end, you became our monastery’s sect leader . But what about those fellow geniuses in your generation? What cultivation base have they reached?

“As a person, being overcautious and steady has its advantages . But as a cultivator, acting like that just leads to demise . If you have no courage or daring, it’s impossible for you to reach further heights .

“Talent is just a fart . Maybe if you release it you might shock people with the noise and smoke people out, but if you can’t release it, who knows what c.r.a.p you’re holding in?”

Long Chen almost laughed at that final line . But Cang Ming’s words were really too right . His coa.r.s.e words. .h.i.t the nail right on the head .

Countless talents were born everyday . But without that will to cultivate as if their life depended on it, without that bravery to climb to the peak, without that determination to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth, all that talent was just wasted .

From the start, Long Chen had been a bit disdainful of the monastery’s disciple grooming method . Other than that first cave trial, he didn’t approve of any of it .

“Little Ling-zi, a person’s lifetime in this world pa.s.ses by quickly, just like the pa.s.sing of seasons for plants . Let me ask you, when you’re facing death, do you know what you’ll have left behind in your life?

“You will have left behind nothing, because in your lifetime, all you did was follow all the rules and play a role given to you by someone else!” Cang Ming shook his head with pity .

“Originally I was hoping to raise you into a true martial artist, but in the end you listened to my senior apprentice-brother, acting like a well-behaved child . ”

But when Cang Ming looked at Wilde, he said with satisfaction, “But at least the heavens treated me right and let me encounter such a wonder apprentice in my final years, hehe . ”

“The heavens also treated me good to let me meet you old man . Now I can eat till I’m really full,” Wilde said gratefully .

Cang Ming immediately laughed heartily . Although Wilde was a bit naive and a bit foolish, he never beat around the bush . Although sometimes he made him infuriated, he really did like this foolish kid .

He treated Wilde as his own child . He knew Wilde was extremely simple and honest . He would never go bully others . So as soon as he saw Wilde being bullied, he hadn’t cared about anything else, and had directly given Elder Sun a slap in the face .

If he wasn’t worried about Ling Yun-zi being right there, he probably would have already beaten Elder Sun dead . His gloominess at not being able to do that was immediately blown away by just a single sentence from Wilde .

Ling Yun-zi sunk into thought for a moment and then turned to Long Chen . “Long Chen, how do you think the monastery should act in order to let the disciples grow stronger?”
