Killing God - Chapter 297
Chapter 297 Master And Disciple
Shen Shi cast several Tier 1 spells in succession. At the same time, in order to conceal his abnormality in the Five Elements Technique, He carefully controlled the casting speed, However, the power of this spell was not easy to control. Just as he was feeling a little uneasy, he discovered that the seemingly inconspicuous wooden dummies were made of some kind of special wood. When all the spells hit them, they did not leave any traces. At most, they only slightly trembled a few times.
In this way, even this biggest flaw was inadvertently concealed. Shen Shi’s heart immediately relaxed. Thinking about it, it was also correct. The dummies erected here were obviously specially made for the disciples of the sect to test their techniques. If they were ordinary things, they would probably have to be replaced in three days or two. They weren’t afraid of trouble.
Xu Yanzhi looked from the beginning to the end. She didn’t notice anything unusual. After Shen Shi used Fireball, Water Arrow, Rock Piercing, and Earth Sinking, she smiled and nodded. “Alright, Junior Brother Shen, wait here for a moment. I’ll be right back.”
As she spoke, she turned around and walked towards the back hall of the Five Elements Hall. Very quickly, she disappeared from Shen Shi’s sight. Shen Shi looked in that direction with some doubts, wondering why Senior Sister Xu’s behavior today always made people feel strange.
Within the secret room of the Five Elements Hall’s side entrance, Old Man Pu looked at Shen Shi from the clumsy bronze mirror and saw that he had cast those ordinary First Grade Five Elements Spells. At least from the surface, Shen Shi did not show any difference from ordinary people. However, his expression seemed somewhat solemn. His white eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was pondering something.
After a while, a soft sound suddenly sounded from the other side of the secret room. Then, the wall suddenly moved away, revealing a hidden door. Xu Yanzhi walked over from that side and sat down on a chair beside Old Man Pu. He smiled and said, “Master, how is it?”
Old Man Pu slowly nodded and said, “Oh, this Shen Shi seems to have a good aptitude.” As he spoke, he suddenly glared at Xu Yanzhi and said, “Disobedient disciple, what did you say about me just now? You actually dared to call me foolish and forgetful. Do you believe this old man expelled you from the door wall?”
Xu Yanzhi’s young and beautiful face did not show the slightest bit of fear. She smiled and walked over. She pulled Old Man Pu’s sleeve and waved it twice. She smiled and said, “Master, what are you angry about? Didn’t I just try to win the trust of Junior Brother Shen? Oh right, I didn’t hear that you had anything to do with Shen Shi before. Why are you suddenly interested in him?”
Old Man Pu seemed to be fond of Xu Yanzhi, a beautiful female disciple. He pretended to be fond of Xu Yanzhi for a while and let her go. He snorted and said, “I ran into this child yesterday and found that he seemed to have good talent in the Five Elements Technique. I asked his name on the spur of the moment, but I found that he seemed to be familiar with him.” When I came back, I thought about it and remembered that when you were still working in Qingyu Island a few years ago, you seemed to have mentioned this name to me. ”
“Ah!” Xu Yanzhi looked at Old Man Pu with a surprised expression and said, “Master, you actually remember that early thing?”
“Hehe,” Old Man Pu said proudly, feeling proud in his heart. “No, even though I’m old, my cultivation will improve greatly. This memory will only get better and better. There’s no way I’ll forget about it!”
Xu Yanzhi laughed out loud and said, “Alright, alright, it’s just a casual sentence. With such a grudge, I’ll go down the mountain and buy you some old wine later.”
Old Man Pu immediately smiled and said, “Good, good, good disciple, remember to buy a flower sculpture that is over 50 years old.”
Xu Yanzhi spat at him. The corner of his eyes glanced at the figure on the table that Shen Shi was waiting for boredom. He snorted in his heart and thought, “This is all for Sister Qingzhu. How about …”
With a change of heart, a gentle smile appeared on her face once again. She said to Old Man Pu, “Master, this Junior Brother Shen has indeed been talented in the Five Elements Technique since he was young. Although there were twists and turns in the middle, it can be seen that he is still a good seedling.” “Our hall is not a prosperous place. If you think he is not bad, why don’t you take him in as your subordinate?”
Hearing this, Old Man Pu said, After pondering for a moment, However, he did not immediately agree. Instead, he slowly shook his head. Xu Yanzhi was shocked, She wondered if Master had actually not taken a fancy to Shen Shi. Although from her own point of view, Shen Shi seemed to be an outstanding talent in all aspects of the Five Elements Technique, she knew that although her master wasn’t very high profile in the sect, his cultivation was frighteningly high. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the sect master to invite him to the position of Grand Elder.
Although that position had great prestige and power, what kind of clan was Lingxiao Sect? Without strength, it would be impossible for him to sit down steadily.
His divine abilities were astonishing, His vision was naturally different from that of an ordinary person. Although Xu Yanzhi was always joking with her master, However, he still knew that he was still 108,000 kilometers away from his master in terms of horizons. While wondering where Shen Shi was no longer in his master’s eyes, he thought of Zhong Qingzhu, who had a sisterly friendship with him. He hesitated for a moment and whispered,
‘”Master, what do you think is wrong with him? Actually, from what I saw just now, I think Junior Brother Shen is really not bad. Furthermore, in this world, there aren’t many cultivators who are still interested in the Five Elements Technique. How many of them are talented? Why don’t you just do as you please? For the sake of the future prosperity of our Arts Hall, accept him.”
Old Man Pu snorted and said, “That won’t do. Back then, because he wanted to make do, he accepted a trash disciple. This time, he can’t repeat the same mistake.”
Xu Yanzhi still hasn’t reacted for a while, and she still wants to persuade herself, “Ah, it’s fine. You should think about the exam again … Uh, no, what did you just say?” She glared at Old Man Pu and said angrily, “Master, who did you call trash?”
Old Man Pu looked at her and shrugged his shoulders. “You’ve been under my sect for so many years, so I won’t talk about the other divine passage techniques. However, I won’t talk too much about the skills of the Five Elements Technique. Have you learned 20% of my skills?” As he spoke, his face suddenly revealed a look of resentment. He looked extremely dissatisfied and said angrily, “Also, you little girl, when you entered the sect as a disciple, you looked like you swore an oath with tears streaming down your cheeks. You said that you would never be distracted if you didn’t learn a thorough skill. Then what?” “In the end, not many years later, you stinky girl was hooked by that Ruan Maocai from the Pill Hall. I’m furious!”
Xu Yanzhi was stunned for a moment. Her cheeks instantly flushed red. Her snow-white teeth bit her lower lip. After a while, water flashed across her eyes. Her tears seemed to be on the verge of tears. She choked and whispered, “Master, you, you … you …”
Old man Pu rolled his eyes and said angrily, “Oh, oh, oh, here we go again. I know that I can’t see a woman crying when I know Master. I can just treat this as water spilled out of your mouth. It’s impossible for you to stop thinking about it anyway.”
Xu Yanzhi wiped her tears with her hand and cried, “Master, if you really don’t want to, then this disciple will immediately cut off the relationship with Senior Brother Ruan. I will cut him off once and for all. I will serve you for the rest of my life, the Ancient Buddha Green Lamp.”
Old Man Pu used his hand to support his forehead and said, “Alright, alright, stop crying. Our Lingxiao Sect is not Zhenlong Palace. Where did we get the Buddha statue Arhat and the Ancient Buddha Azure Lamp …” As he spoke, he seemed to be muttering to himself, “Actually, this Shen Shi’s talent should be pretty good. It was when he was casting the spell just now …”
Halfway through his words, he frowned and seemed to be lost in thought, his expression somewhat hesitant.
Xu Yanzhi looked from the side and suddenly giggled. He pulled on Old Man Pu’s sleeve and smiled, “Master, you really treat me well. I knew you weren’t really angry with me.”
Old Man Pu glared at her and said, “Remember to buy two more jars of flower and sculpture wine later.”
Xu Yanzhi wiped her tears and laughed, “I know. Don’t worry.” However, after she finished speaking, she suddenly paused and looked at Old Man Pu suspiciously. “Master, you didn’t mean to say that to me just because you wanted to drink two more jars of wine, did you?” She said.
Old Man Pu didn’t even look at her. He waved his hand and said with disdain, “What do you know about a girl’s family? You’re always confused in your head.”
Xu Yanzhi sneaked a glance at him and didn’t dare to ask any further. After thinking for a while, he said, “Master, should I go and give him the ‘Ice Sword Technique’ technique formula as originally said, so that he can cultivate here for ten days and see if he can cultivate this Tier 3 technique within the time limit?”
Old Man Pu pondered silently, as if he was still thinking about something. He was a little hesitant. Xu Yanzhi waited for a while, but did not see Old Man Pu’s reaction. He thought that he would take it as his acquiescence. Thus, he quietly stood up. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw Old Man Pu waving his hand and said,
“Wait, I won’t give him the ice sword technique.”
“Ah?” Xu Yanzhi was shocked. Could it be that Master really didn’t like Shen Shi? Just as he was about to give another word of advice, Old Man Pu flicked his finger. He didn’t know where he had the storage magic tool, but suddenly, a square piece of yellow paper appeared in his hand. There were a lot of handwriting on it, but when it was folded, he couldn’t see the specific words.
Old Man Pu handed the yellow paper to Xu Yanzhi and said, “Let him try to cultivate this Third Grade spell. As for the time limit, just give him two days.”
Xu Yanzhi was shocked, The Five Elements Technique was originally difficult to learn, The difficulty of cultivating a technique at each higher level was multiplied by several folds, To be honest, the ten-day deadline given earlier for cultivating a Tier 3 spell was already quite high. However, Old Man Pu was still an Elder of the Lingxiao Sect Spell Hall, and his status was there. In terms of the attainments of the Five Elements Spell alone, even the entire Primordial Chaos Cultivation World was a handful of experts. It was not surprising that such a person would have a higher standard of apprenticeship.
However, for someone to cultivate a Tier 3 spell in two days, it was a bit difficult.
She still wanted to argue, but Old Man Pu’s expression was calm. He waved his hand. It seemed that he would not change his mind. Xu Yanzhi hesitated for a moment and could only sigh softly in her heart. She turned around and walked towards the door. At the same time, she silently said, “Sister Qingzhu, it’s not that Sister didn’t help you, Shen Shi. It’s truly benevolent.”
Just as he was about to reach the door, Old Man Pu’s voice suddenly came from behind and said, “Hey, Little Branch.”
Xu Yanzhi turned around and agreed, “Master, what’s wrong?”
Old Man Pu did not look back at her. He only said indifferently, “If that Ruan Maocai guy treats you badly in the future, just come back and tell me. The old man doesn’t care about the pill hall or Yun Ni’s face. He directly ran over and broke his three legs to vent his anger for you.”
Xu Yanzhi was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling surged into her heart. She whispered, “Yes, I know. Thank you, Master.”
Old Man Pu waved his hand and let her go.
When Xu Yanzhi walked out of the secret room, she felt a gentle warmth in her heart. However, she immediately said to herself, “This master … isn’t he old and foolish? A person only has two legs. Even that would be wrong.”
As he spoke, he shook his head, took the yellow paper, and walked towards the main hall of the Five Elements Palace.
