Chapter: 1137 (1/2)
AST 1137 – Formation Immortal Sect, Changes to the Nine Continents Boots, Realm of Steps of Perfection
Yu Ruyan and Tantai Xuan were on one side, chatting about similar things. Since it was the first time she had came to this place, it was better for her to gain more understanding of the common knowledge in this world.
They continued until about noon when they went out to get some food. Qiu Feng invited Qing Shui, Yu Ruyan and Yu Ruyan to Formation Immortal Sect, so he could host them but Qing Shui shook his head and declined.
Qiu Feng’s branch was the weakest one in Formation Immortal Sect. Formation Immortal Sect was considered a top notch Grade One Sect and there were still many strong experts in the sect. Therefore, Qing Shui didn’t want to find trouble for himself and thus declined Qiu Feng’s kind intentions.
Qiu Feng and the others didn’t insist either. They knew that if some powerful cultivator in the sect were to ask Qing Shui to join their sect and he didn’t agree, it wouldn’t end well.
However, there were always some things which wouldn’t go as planned. Just as Qing Shui and Qiu Feng stopped this conversation, two powerful demonic beasts appeared from afar. Although they were about 100 meters in size, the auras they released weren’t of the same level as what Qing Shui had seen before.
Formation Immortal Sect’s clothes!
Two demonic beasts, which seemed like an eagle yet like a condor but was neither. The fierce auras they unleashed were slightly more powerful compared to the ancient demonic beasts which Qing Shui had encountered before.
Just such demonic beasts already astonished Qing Shui. He was even more taken aback when he saw the two old men on them. It was because he couldn’t sense their abilities with his spiritual sense.
It was like throwing a stone into the sea, the dept was so deep that it couldn’t be fathomed. Many Sealing Formations were drawn on their clothes and accessories, making the clothes appear to be gleaming in a silvery light, causing the two old men to be like members of the gods.
The old man on the left had pale skin and was truly a person with white hair but a young appearance. His forehead was broad and his head was shiny, causing him to stand out a lot. His eyes were always smiling, giving others a favorable impression in one look. His snow white long brows and beard made him appear even more amiable.
The old man on the right had a tall physique and thick brows. Contrary to the other old man, this one was slightly tanned, had a big nose and a mix of black and white hair. He unleashed an aura like that of a wild beast and was a little fierce. However, Qing Shui still had the feeling that he was unfathomable.
“Greetings to Elder White and Elder Black!”
Qiu Feng and the others bowed and greeted the two old men respectfully.
“Haha, we’re all family, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. Just be more at ease!” The white-skinned old man laughed and said.
On the other hand, the tanned faced old man’s huge eyes glanced around. All the people who were glanced at, shuddered. This was an Elder from their Formation Immortal Sect, the lowest Master in the sect. Even if they hadn’t reached the level of the lowest grade State Master, they were not far from that and would become one very soon. He was already one step into the door of becoming a State Master.
Suddenly, the tanned faced old man’s eyes landed on Qing Shui. A weird glow flashed in his eyes as he looked toward Qing Shui, “That lad there. In the future, you’ll be my disciple.”
The tanned face old man pointed a finger at Qing Shui, causing everyone else present to feel very envious. How great was it to be taken in as a disciple by an Elder? This was a State Master and even the lowest grade State Master was revered and treated with great importance.
However, Qing Shui frowned. He didn’t wish to become anyone’s disciple. At the very least, he didn’t have a favorable impression of this man, especially not toward the domineering aura he gave off.
“Old Black, you’re really fast to speak up. This is really a good seed. With time, he’ll definitely be ten times stronger than you,” the amiable looking old man laughed and said.
“Elder, he isn’t a member of our Formation Immortal Sect.” Qiu Feng saw Qing Shui’s frown and stepped out to speak up.
“Qiu Feng, can you not tolerate that there’s someone else who’s stronger than you and you cannot accept him?” The tanned face old man’s sharp eyes pierced toward Qiu Feng like a blade.
Suddenly, Qiu Feng’s clothes were drenched with perspiration!
“Elder, Qiu Feng didn’t mean that…”
“Alright, you don’t have to continue.” Elder Black waved his hand to interrupt Qiu Feng’s words.
Qiu Feng took one step back and looked toward Qing Shui apologetically. Qing Shui smiled and shook his head.
“Young man, many people begged me to take them in as my disciple but I didn’t agree. How about it? If you become my disciple, you’ll be able to soar into the skies with just one step,” the tanned face old man looked at Qing Shui and said calmly.
“Soar into the skies with just one step? Sir, may I ask what your strength is?” Although Qing Shui was a far cry from the level of a State Master level existence, he wouldn’t want it even if a Grade One State Master were to take him in as a disciple. He had no intentions of finding himself a Master and only Yiye Jiange had been his Master for a short period of time. It that wasn’t even considered official.
“Haha, my abilities just barely reached the level of a Grade One State Master. Why? Am I not qualified to be your Master?” the tanned face man laughed and said, his voice was loud and clear, having a confidence that came from deep within.
“Would you be able to teach me to become a Grade Two or Grade Three State Master?” Qing Shui asked softly after the old man stopped laughing.
The tanned faced old man glared at him for very long before he said slowly, “Lad, I hadn’t expected you to have such great expectations. To be honest, I have the confidence to nurture you into a Grade One State Master in 100 years. However, I don’t have any confidence to achieve anything beyond that.”
“100 years to only become a Grade One State Master…” Qing Shui mumbled softly to himself.
Qing Shui’s voice was not very loud but it was sufficient to let the people in the surroundings hear him. Suddenly, it became so silent that they would probably hear the sound of a needle dropping to the ground. Even Yu Ruyan and Tantai Xuan looked at Qing Shui, stunned.
“Arrogant! Ignorant! Do you think that it’s so easy to attain a breakthrough to become a Grade One State Master? Come, let me see how much you’re worth.” The tanned face old man seemed to be have become a little agitated. He wasn’t a person who could get irritated so easily but this time around, it was primarily because he wanted to take Qing Shui as his disciple.
“Wait. Don’t you think that you’re bullying the weak to be testing my abilities now? Even if you were to beat me and killed me, would there be any meaning to it?” Qing Shui shook his head and said, smiling, not anxious in the least.
