Jiang Ming felt surprised but not afraid at the sudden appearance of Old Tie. But he, as a young man, had to be polite by greeting Old Tie.
Old Tie friendly replied as he waved, “Don’t mention it! As I come directly without invitation, I’m disturbing you instead!”
“It’s my honor that you are here!” Jiang Ming said as he sat down. He then asked with confusion, “But why don’t you go there, where the geniuses are gathering?”
“Can you identify their specialty?”
“No, I can’t! I can’t even identify my Junior Sister’s, what’s more those geniuses’!”
“It’s normal that you can’t! A few of them are top-notch geniuses. They will become very prominent figures in the future. The rest are not bad either. They will be as good as your Sect Master!”
Jiang Ming exclaimed, “They are so amazing?”
Old Tie explained, “If we are to rate them with the five fingers, whereby the best gets five fingers, they can get two fingers.” He suddenly squinted with a smile. “You’re not bad either. At this young age, you are already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm!”
Jiang Ming humbly replied, “Thank you. But I’m still far behind when compared to them!”
Old Tie said mysteriously, “Do you want to be like one of them? It’s very simple. All you need to do is to come to my Infinite Alchemy Pavilion together with your Junior Sister. You’ll definitely become a Primal Spirit expert in the future!”
Jiang Ming acted as though he was very surprised. “Infinite Alchemy Pavilion? Is it the legendary Sacred Land of Zhong Province? Senior, what’s your relationship with Infinite Alchemy Pavilion?”
Old Tie smiled brightly as he said, “I’m an Elder there. When you two get there, your Junior Sister will be placed in a position comparable to the Holy Daughter. Meanwhile, you will be trained as a core disciple.”
Jiang Ming rubbed his hands. He looked as though he was aspiring and at the same time, fidgeted. “Err… This is indeed my honor to be selected—”
A figure approached them before he could finish his sentence. As soon as he arrived, he snorted. “Old Tie, how dare you snatch people from my Eastern Region!”
He was an old man with white hair. But his face looked like a baby, and his eyes were brimming with vigor. He turned to Jiang Ming and said, “We have the Qingyun Sect as the Sacred Land in Eastern Region too. Since we were born and grew up in Eastern Region, we shouldn’t leave easily. If you and your Junior Sister need better cultivation resources, just come over to my Qingyun Sect. I can even make the decision to recognize your Junior Sister as our Holy Daughter directly!”
Old Tie was enraged and growled, “Qing Fengzi, how dare you! We haven’t settled our issue yet, and you’re now here trying to snatch people away from me!”
Qing Fengzi smirked. “This is a very different matter. Moreover, we’re now at the Jiuyang Sect, which is not your territory. You’ve already come here without invitation, don’t tell me you want to destroy this place and snatch people as well?”
Old Tie retorted, “Your Qingyun Sect’s Holy Son is out of the sect! But the soul of my Holy Son is still crying for injustice!”
Qing Fengzi’s face slightly darkened.
Jiang Ming was listening silently. Occasionally, he blinked his eyes as though he was truly innocent.
While listening to the conversation, he also called up the Human Path Records to check on the old man called Qing Fengzi.
Name: Yang Feng (Qing Fengzi)
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Cultivation base: Extreme Path Realm
Background: One of the Supreme Elders of the Qingyun Sect in Eastern Region
Relationship: 32
Innate talent: Ten Stars
Status: When Old Tie was making a fuss in the Qingyun Sect, he was forced to stop his cultivation to deal with him together with a few other Supreme Elders! Based on Old Tie’s accusation, he conducted an investigation in the sect with the help of various special abilities and Dao Vessels and concluded that the murderer was not a member of the sect. Thus, he shifted his focus of investigation outside of the sect and even utilized all resources the sect had but to no avail. In the end, he could only attribute it to the devil sects; plot.
The sect was facing a predicament with various issues occurring simultaneously. Examples were the forced entanglement with the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion, the Bishui Sect’s invasion, the almost full resurgence of the Yinmo Sect, and the Red Mountain Palace’s plot. Unexpectedly, he felt that it was an opportunity and was prepared to take advantage of these issues to eradicate all disobedient forces in Eastern Region!
Jiang Ming’s heart skipped a beat while reading the status. The old man was not merely an Extreme Path expert but also knew about the Yinmo Sect and Red Mountain Palace, and perhaps, the situation of the Bishui Sect too.
The amount of information the old man knew made Jiang Ming admire the power of the Qingyun Sect’s information network. He also marveled at the old man’s confidence in utilizing external forces to control other forces in Eastern Region. Hence, he presumed the Qingyun Sect should be capable of handling both the Yinmo Sect and Red Mountain Palace.
While reading, Jiang Ming did not forget to brew a pot of tea. He meticulously poured two cups of tea with his ignorant expression and longing eyes while listening to the duo’s conversation. When he served, he politely said, “Enjoy your tea!”
Old Tie nodded in approval as he praised, “Indeed a good boy!” Then he took up a cup of tea and had a sip before he sneered at Qing Fengzi. “Unlike some people who never invited me for a sip of hot tea since I’ve come to Eastern Region from afar!”
Following that, he threw a clay bottle toward Jiang Ming while saying, “It’s by luck that I receive your hospitality and drink your tea. This is the Extreme Primal Pill for you. Take it after your successful breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm. It will help you to go further into the Golden Core’s extreme state!”
Jiang Ming reached out and grabbed it. He appreciated it with an excited expression. “Thank you, Senior!”
He then murmured, “It’s the Golden Core’s extreme state that not many disciples of our Jiuyang Sect have ever achieved in history! I can’t believe that I’m going to be like one of the few geniuses soon! Oh my, I’m so blessed. Nope, it should be the grace of the Senior!”
Old Tie could not help but smile at Jiang Ming’s response.
Qing Fengzi also took a sip of the tea and said, “All disciples of Eastern Region are good and kind! Kid, beware of this old fella. He is here to lure you away! Anyway, I shall give you something in return for your tea.”
He took out a clay bottle containing a pill and threw it at Jiang Ming. “This is the Divine Source Pill. Take it after you break through to the Golden Core’s extreme state. It will help you to expand your sea of consciousness to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm!”
Jiang Ming hastily reached out, grabbing the bottle. He was so excited that his neck turned red when he said, “Thank you, Senior! Thank you! With these two medicinal pills, I can directly reach the Purple Mansion Realm! Gosh, am I dreaming?”
His excited expression seemed to carry a hint of holding back his laughter. In fact, he rolled his eyes within himself. ‘They’ve been too generous to give Extreme Prima Pill and Divine Source Pill! I wonder whether they’d still be this generous if they learned that I’m the murderer of Inifinite Alchemy Pavilion’s Holy Son and that I framed the Qingyun Sect, as well as the murderer of Mu Lei and Mu Shuiyun! I think they will strike me to death instead!’
Jiang Ming meticulously kept those pills before he left to take some spiritual fruits to serve. At the same time, he had the urge to take out the Mana Sealing Chessboard when they were unaware, wondering if they would be sucked in. In the end, he forcefully suppressed his intention.
He took a glance at the mountain peak in the distance and rubbed his head as he asked, “Seniors, there are already many geniuses gathered there, but why aren’t they starting their battles yet? Are they not planning to compete with each other while training and refining themselves?”
“Every genius feels they are invincible. At the same time, they are looking for a match to help them grow. That’s their main reason for gathering there. The reason they haven’t started their battle is that they are waiting for a man,” Old Tie replied.
At the same time, Qing Fengzi nodded and hints of dignity appeared in his eyes.
“Let them wait together? I heard from my Junior Sister that among them are Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. Who’s so capable of making them wait patiently?” Jiang Ming asked, amazed.
In fact, he was really surprised.
Old Tie replied frankly, “Senior Brother! The Senior Brother all of them have acknowledged!”
