Chapter 395: The Supreme Elder Arrives (1/2)

It was a little past midnight when a booming sound was heard. It was as if thunder had torn through the clouds to strike the ground.

The people in the hall became alert and knew that something had happened. Peak Master Yi Deng who had been sitting in mediation all this time opened his eyes as they flickered under the light of the lamps.

”He's here…” He uttered.

All of the disciples of the Tri Cauldron peony sect stood up and walked out of the manor. Even Yi ZI Jin was rather tense and kept her demeanor.

”Looks like the supreme elder has arrived.” Wu Hei stated.

Lin Mu raised his brows as he felt the spatial qi fluctuations in the air. They were abnormally disturbed and it was as if someone had dropped a large stone in a pool of water. Waves and ripples were created as Lin Mu sensed them.

'An Adult stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator is indeed powerful…' Lin Mu thought to himself as he also stood up along with Wu Hei.

Zhen Sui was already prodding Wu Teng to wake up as he had fallen asleep after having a few pots of wine. Thankfully, the man woke up after getting a few slaps from his mother and didn't even flinch. Rather it was Zhen Sui who had to nurse her hand after that.

Lin Mu looked up at the sky and saw the clouds that were being split apart. Once the clouds were gone, he could see an old man floating up in the air. The man was dressed in white and blue robes with the motif of the Tri cauldron peony sect on his chest. On his back, one could see an embroidered peony flower that was placed over the pattern of a mountain.

The old man exuded a sense of dignity from him, and just from looking at him one would feel pressure.

While others were having a hard time looking at the old man, Lin Mu had already adapted to it. He looked closely at the supreme elder of the Tri cauldron peony sect who seemed to be in his ninties. This man looked even older than Jing Wei, which told Lin Mu that he was probably much less talented than him.

”No, that's not it.” Xukong suddenly spoke.

”Oh? What's the problem senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”That man isn't old because he reached the Nascent soul realm late, but rather because he has lost a significant portion of his longevity,” Xukong answered.

”What? Why would he lose his longevity?” Lin Mu questioned.

”There can be many reasons for it. But the most common one seems to be due to battles and fights. He burned his longevity to increase his strength exponentially during battles to defeat his enemies. Another thing can be that he used his longevity as fuel to create a special type of alchemical fire and used it to refine pills, seeing as he is from a sect that specializes in alchemical pills.” Xukong explained.

Lin Mu nodded his head in understanding as he suddenly remembered a thing, that he had discussed with senior Xukong a while ago.
