Book 7, Stillwater City, Chapter 21, Viewing the Sculpture at Night
“Leave you with just one?” Baiwei hurriedly shook his head “How can I do that? Although your Ji clan isn’t too large, you still have people who broke through to the Zifu Disciple level I iine some of them would wish to becoe In addition, in the future, you ure ould ask you for a slot How about this; I’ll shamelessly take five of your retainer positions, while you hold on to the re five If, in the future, the five you have is insufficient, co those Zifu Disciples enter a good school But of course, they e”
Ning laughed, then nodded “That’s fine as well” But in truth, he really did only need a single slot Retainers entered the Black-White College for the sake of gaining top-tier Ki Refining techniques, but they ideally needed to be early stage Zifu Disciples as well
If one entered as a e Zifu Disciple, one’s path would have becoo back! The Ji clan’s Zifu Disciples consisted of Patriarch Ji Ninefire, Granny Shadow, Ah Xing, and Ji Truekeep
The Patriarch and the others were all peak Zifu Disciples, while Truekeep was a e Zifu Disciple; their paths were already set As for the younger members of the Ji clan? For one of them to reach the Zifu Disciple would probably need some time
“Even if our Ji clan is capable of producing a new Zifu Disciple, they can still rely on their oer to join another sect,” Ning mused to himself “If my help is truly needed, in a few years, her as well” In his heart, though, Ning wanted to let those future descendants of the Ji clan fight for their paths
At ive theh the world by one’s self would one not fear the wind and the waves of life
“Alright” Baiwei nodded “In two days, after the Black-White College has concluded its recruitment cycle, I will send five Zifu Disciples to you, as well as some ordinary commoners”
“Ordinary co was startled Baiwei smiled “Given ho in nue are, each of theh the Zifu Disciple are servants and retainers, they still have to train as well You can’tthe plants, or doing cleaning, right? You can give them some important tasks, but for the nor now understood
“I won’t tarry any longer Take a good stroll around the Black-White College” Baiwei laughed “The Black-White Diagrae has attracted jealousy from countless powers for many years now Even the Grand Xia Dynasty will occasionally send people over here, begging for a chance to see the Black-White Diagram Only formal disciples like you, however, can viehenever you want”
After speaking, Baiwei laughed then entered his carriage, departing Ning turned to look at the Whitewater Hound by his side “Uncle White, let’s go” The Whitewater Hound nodded, following hiht”
Swoosh!+ Theboat, then sped into the air at high speed It was already dark The Black-White College, shrouded by the night sky, appeared incomparably tranquil
“Uncle White,” Ning laughed, “You are at the early Zifu stage Don’t be in a hurry to train Soon, I will ask the school for a top-tier Ki Refining technique for you”
“Thanks for taking the trouble, Ning, son” The Whitewater Hound looked at Ning That child who had ridden atop his back while training in archery in the rown up Had become even more powerful than the hound’s elder brother, Ji Yichuan “Yichuan…I atch as Ning becoure within these lands”
Ning didn’t knohat his Uncle White was thinking He instructed, “Uncle White, your status within the College will be that of my spirit-beast, and so you’ll be able to follow me around and listen to some Primal Daoists and even I me, you’ll also be able to enter the various parts of the Black-White College If you areabout by yourself, however, you’ll only be able to enter these places”
Ning waved his hand and retrieved that black-and-white book, flipping to one of the pages within it “This is thethe places where you, Uncle White, can go freely,” Ning said
The Whitewater Hound gave it a quick look, ” Ning laughed “No trouble at all” When he looked at Uncle White, he felt as though he had returned to those days when he had lived together with Uncle White, Father, and Mother His parents were now gone…and Uncle White was his closest family now
Spirit-beasts and retainers were different Retainers anted to train in top-tier techniques had to work hard for thee; only then ht they have the rare chance to acquire a top-tier Ki Refining technique In addition, they would only have access to a s techniques The retainers had to do everything for themselves For the fore alongside theh
If Uncle White had entered the Black-White College as a retainer, he too could’ve relied on his oer, but things would have been very difficult
As for spirit-beasts, spirit-beasts the techniques But Ning, by paying a certain price, could ask for a Ki Refining technique for him It was incomparably easier for a for technique, compared to a retainer
However, given how exacting the requiree placed upon its forh to learn techniques and arts; howto sacrifice their own advancement chances for the sake of their spirit-beasts?
“Whoosh” The boat flew to the top of Darknorth Peak “This is Darknorth Peak” Ning pointed doards the mountain peak below “Fro”
“Uncle White, the only people living at Darknorth Peak for now are you andto the restricted area of the Black-White Diagraram is located in the innere Only foro view it Retainers and spirit-beasts are not permitted to do so”
“Go” The Whitewater Hound laughed, then leapt doards froht that landed atop Darknorth Peak
