Chapter 512: Chapter 504 Myriad Beast Gang
It wasn’t entirely flattery, but rather the honest truth.
The boss continued to carve some strange lines into a large piece of wood. It looked like he was drawing the wind, but it didn’t quite seem like it.
Qin Niu had asked the boss before if he was drawing the wind, and he had been met with a cold shoulder, not even receiving a response.
“Please wait!”
The boss said without lifting his head.
That wait lasted for more than an hour.
After the boss carved the last fine line, Qin Niu actually felt a breeze emerge from the wood.
Perhaps it was because his cultivation of the Medicine King Sutra had reached the Spirit Qi Realm that he was able to sense the subtle changes inside the wood.
“Ah, it’s a failure again!”
However, the boss shook his head and sighed deeply, showing an expression of defeat.
“If you were drawing the wind, I think you must be close to success. Just now, I sensed a slight breeze inside the wood, but it was very weak and didn’t blow out,” Qin Niu said, unable to bear seeing the boss so disheartened and added another comment.
“Are you telling the truth?”
The boss suddenly raised his head, his eyes burning as he stared at Qin Niu.
An invisible pressure made Qin Niu tighten up, and he found himself unable to move. How strong exactly was this boss?
Even when Qin Niu faced a Grade Twelve Fire Phoenix, he had never felt such intense pressure.
Could it mean that this boss was even stronger than the Fire Phoenix?
Appearances are deceiving.
Even Shuangfeng Village had hidden dragons and crouching tigers, let alone Black Tiger City.
After witnessing the strength of Madame Zhao, Qin Niu was no longer the frog in the well of the past. Some powerful Immortal Masters appeared no different from ordinary people.
The reason he couldn’t discern their cultivation levels was simply that his realm was too low.
It’s like a group of wealthy people sitting in the same venue; it’s difficult to tell from appearances how rich they are.
Some multi-billionaires might dress very plainly, looking like ordinary farmers, but in reality, they could be the super-big shots holding the reins of leading enterprises.
It’s the same with Immortal Masters. Some of them just like to dress up as ordinary people and live among them.
“With your high level of cultivation, can’t you feel it yourself?” Qin Niu countered, indirectly confirming to the other party that indeed a breeze had formed inside the wood.
“Sorry, it was I, Long, who lost my composure! My cultivation is not weak, but it’s difficult to sense the conditions inside the wood. The cultivation technique you practice must be quite special for you to be able to detect such subtle changes within the wood,” the boss said, inadvertently revealing his surname.
So his surname was Long.
“You are right, the cultivation technique I practice allows me to clearly sense the changes within plants. Although the life force of this piece of wood is severed, I can still feel some of its changes. Just now when you drew the final thin line, a breeze formed inside the wood at this spot, but it quickly vanished,” Qin Niu pointed out the exact location, hoping to help this deeply concealed expert.
“Young man, can you feel the direction the breeze was blowing?”
“It started from this point and should have blown in that direction. However, it disappeared as soon as it arose, so I can’t be one hundred percent certain,” Qin Niu replied.
“Thank you!”
The boss took out an Earth Escape Talisman from the cupboard and handed it to him.
“Five hundred Silver Money will do.”
Last time, he had sold one to Qin Niu for a full thousand taels. Now, it was half the price, the same as what Bei Bing’s grandfather charged.
It seemed that the boss gave a friendly price because Qin Niu had offered some useful advice.
“Thank you, boss! Do you have any other special talismans? Ones for preserving life, attacking enemies, or trapping them, all are good,” Qin Niu expressed his intense desire for these special talismans.
He was not short of money and was willing to spend as long as the talismans were of good quality.
“These special talismans are extremely demanding to make, the materials are very hard to find, and the crafting process is prone to failure. Even with my current skill level, if I can successfully make two out of ten, that’s not bad. You must be buying this talisman for the Water and Land Dharma Assembly; as long as you’re not incredibly unlucky, one should be enough to save your life.
I’ll give you a piece of advice: if something cannot be done, do not force it.
Destiny is the key in ‘Immortal Destiny,’ not the ‘immortal’ part.”
Although the boss appeared aloof and strange, after Qin Niu greatly helped him, his attitude towards Qin Niu became friendlier.
“Junior will certainly heed your teachings! Farewell!”
