Chapter 296 – Worshiping the Master
”What old demon, no one said that!” The young girl, whose face had changed drastically, said with a forced smile and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look over for a glance.
Han Li let out a light laugh and didn’t bother anything with the young girl, but instead looked at the old man with a chilly gaze.
The old man’s face was equally panicked, he really didn’t know how much Han Li had heard of what he had just said, and couldn’t help but secretly cry out in his heart, not daring to say what he had originally prepared to say.
”I didn’t expect senior to come so quickly! Elder thought that he would have to wait for two more hours at the very least! Elder will bring that book over for senior.”
The helpless old man had no choice but to steel himself to deal with Han Li’s unkind look, and in a stroke of wit, immediately mentioned the Dao book, hoping to make Han Li quench his anger a little.
”Fine, go bring it!” Han Li’s sword-like gaze stared at the old man for a moment before he finally said coldly.
This caused the old man’s lifted heart to temporarily return to its original place, and in his opinion, the other party would at least not immediately vent his anger.
The old man’s mouth hurriedly promised, the person went to the next room. Seeing this, the young girl also moved her feet to follow the old man over, but was stopped by the old man’s gaze.
What a joke!
If both of them went to the next door behind this person’s back, wouldn’t it be a deliberate attempt to offend the other party! It would make the other party think that their grandparents and grandchildren were still trying to pull some tricks, but nowadays, the old man completely threw away the unrealistic thoughts for fear that it would cause Han Li to have some kind of misunderstanding.
The young girl had no choice but to stay in the house with a pout, continuing to stand in place with Han Li without daring to say a word.
The old man’s movements were very nimble, and in the blink of an eye, he walked in holding a worn wooden box, and it seemed that the Dao book should be in it.
”Senior, my grandparents and grandchildren learned the Breath Convergence Technique from this book, please have a look at it and see if it’s of some use to senior?” The old man took a few steps to Han Li’s front, said with a respectful expression, and gently opened the wooden box, revealing a somewhat blackened yellow book. It was handed to Han Li.
And at a glance, the book was known to be an ancient artifact from a long time ago!
Han Li narrowed his eyes and looked at the book in the other party’s hands for a few moments before nodding and accepting the book.
Although the book was discolored due to the age being too long, Han Li had a smooth and delicate feeling when his fingers touched the cover, and it seemed as if it was still tough as nails.
It seemed that this book was not an ordinary material, but rather a specially made demonic beast skin of some sort. Otherwise, it could not have been preserved after such a long time.
Han Li gently caressed this book for a moment, pondering for a moment before. Only then did he slowly flip through the pages.
Just after taking a few looks, Han Li frowned.
Once the book was opened, what was reflected in his eyes was some sort of very unfamiliar ancient script. This kind of writing symbols, Han Li was certain that he did not recognize them at all, and had never seen similar symbols in the various collections in the Yellow Maple Valley.
Since he didn’t recognize it, Han Li didn’t waste any time and instead quickly flipped this book backwards.
As a result, on the last two pages. He finally discovered what appeared to be a set of nameless mnemonics that someone had added on. The text used for this set of recitals was rather an ancient symbol more commonly used in the Immortal Cultivation World. It allowed him to read it easily.
Han Li knew in his heart that this was the set of Qi Convergence Technique, so he nonchalantly meditated on it.
After a meal’s time. Han Li closed the book slowly, a few thoughtful looks on his face.
The old man on the side, who never dared to breathe a word, his heart once again “fluttering” “fluttering” jumped up, knowing that this moment is the time to decide the fate of their grandchildren. The other party in the end how to dispose of the two of them, on the other side of the thought.
Han Li ignored the old man’s secretly nervous state of mind, and instead unhurriedly took out a jade box from his storage pouch, properly storing the book.
Only then did he turn his face to the old man and said flatly, “I’ll take this Dao book. Now if your grandparents and grandchildren want to exchange something for something, you can say it for me to hear, and I will try to fulfill your request if possible!”
Han Li’s voice was not loud, but it was as pleasant as heavenly music to the ears of the old man and the young girl.
This the two of them knew at this point that not only had their lives been saved this time, but it looked like there were actually benefits to be had, so they couldn’t help but both reveal a look of surprise!
”Senior, can you let my grandparents and grandchildren discuss a little more?” After the crisis, the old man couldn’t help but want to maximize the benefits of this exchange, so he hurriedly said to Han Li with a smile.
Knowing that before Han Li came, their grandparents and grandchildren were afraid that the other party would kill and exterminate them, and hadn’t discussed the matter of exchanging items at all.
Now that they heard Han Li ask, they were naturally caught off guard!
And now that Han Li really isn’t the kind of villain who turns the other cheek, the old man also dared to be bold and ask.
”Whatever you guys want, just don’t take too long!” Han Li was in a good mood because he had obtained a very useful set of secrets and a mysterious ancient book, so he waved his hand carelessly and said.
”Thank you for your generosity, senior! The two of us only need a few moments of effort.” The old man said joyfully.
He then immediately pulled the young girl outside of the house, and the two of them began to mutter in a low voice.
Han Li faintly smiled at this scene. Although he could easily exterminate these two with a single strike, Han Li was conceited that he wasn’t a vicious person, and he wouldn’t do something like this out of the blue if he didn’t have to.
After a while, the old man and the young girl walked in with an odd look on their faces, seemingly somewhat uneasy.
Han Li was a bit surprised to see this, but still asked under his breath, “Have you two thought about it?”
”Senior, my grandchildren have already discussed this. My granddaughter doesn’t want anything outside of her body, but there is an unkind request that I hope senior can fulfill!” After hesitating for a moment, the old man clenched his teeth and uttered a sentence that caused Han Li to be a bit surprised.
”What request?” Han Li frowned and slowly asked.
For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly had a feeling in his heart that trouble was about to take hold.
The old man hesitated once again until he saw Han Li reveal a color of reluctance before he vaguely said something like this.
”Its …… actually my granddaughter, really admires senior’s deep cultivation and profound techniques! Want to …… want to worship under the senior’s door as a disciple, willing to serve under the senior’s left and right from now on. I also hope to see in the small old granddaughter of a piece of the red heart on the part of the senior can be included under the door.”
After the old man had just stammered out these words, the young girl immediately and smartly hurriedly worshipped in front of Han Li, and kowtowed to Han Li on the spot with a solid head. Han Li, who hadn’t anticipated this matter at all, immediately burst into tears and laughed after being greatly shocked.
Letting him take on a disciple, wasn’t this something to joke about? He himself was still trembling with fear in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, unable to defend himself at all times, so he could still bring another procrastinator! He definitely wouldn’t agree to this matter!
But then again, this little girl’s qualifications although he did not explore in detail, but it should be good, otherwise it can not be a young age practiced to the realm of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage. When he first arrived at this realm, he relied on eating pills to pass the test.
In that case, it seemed a pity to let this little girl live her life amongst the low-priced Immortal Cultivators. Although he couldn’t take the little girl as his disciple, he could introduce him to a master. Rarely, this little girl’s mischievous appearance was quite suitable for him!
He remembered clearly that that little old man, Master Ma, had yet to accept a disciple.
Moreover, after he moved away from the Hundred Medicine Garden, he met him once and complained that he had to personally take care of the medicine garden again, and had known that he would take a good disciple and so on.
Now this little girl seems to be extremely intelligent, if the qualification is indeed not bad, introduced to senior brother Ma as a disciple may be worth a try. As for whether or not Brother Ma is satisfied, whether or not he is truly willing to accept this little girl, it is none of his business.
Han Li thought this way, a look of deep thought appearing on his face, causing the old man and the young girl to think that he was truly considering the matter of accepting a disciple, and they couldn’t help but both reveal a look of excitement.
”Come over here and let me take a look at your spiritual root situation.” Han Li said calmly as he beckoned to the young girl once he came back to his senses from his contemplation.
”Yes, senior!” The young girl appeared to be extremely well-behaved, and after respectfully agreeing, she lightly walked to Han Li’s body and took the initiative to hand over her white and delicate pink wrist, slightly revealing a hint of shyness.
Han Li stretched out his right hand and lightly grasped the young girl’s jade wrist, and began to let the spiritual energy slowly flow within her body, but shortly afterward, he let go of the wrist.
”Dual Spirit Roots ah, a very good qualification indeed!” Han Li stared at the young girl’s face and muttered to himself.
When the young girl and the old man heard Han Li say this, joy surged on their faces, thinking that Han Li was about to agree to the matter of worshipping the master.
However, Han Li turned his words around and suddenly added, “Unfortunately, I don’t accept disciples! Otherwise, with your qualifications, being my disciple would be enough.”
Han Li’s words immediately caused the grandparents and grandchildren to be like pouring cold water, and they couldn’t help but stay in place.
