Chapter 858: Exceptional Talent!

Cao Guo Feng was still rather confident in his life expectancy. He believed that with the cultivation level of a third level Saint Emperor, there was no problem with living for another three hundred years!
And someone with a free and natural physique could become a Saint by the age of fifty. Then... Three hundred years?! He will be stronger than me then no matter what? And across the entire world, how many people dare say that they are stronger than me?
Less than five!
But he had accidentally let it slipped when his mind was preoccupied and feeling perturbed! Now there was no chance of hiding it. Right now, how could he even feel a little apologetic to Zhan Mu Bai? Cao Guo Feng was so frustrated he felt like killing Zhan Mu Bai in one strike! You dare to dream of asking me to take in your grandson of god knows how many generations as my disciple?
Keep dreaming! Is that descendant of yours with the Xuan Yin Death meridian such a big deal? He is doomed to die, so why won’t he die yet?! The earlier he dies, the lesser burden he becomes to everyone!
Zhan Mu Bai, you goddamn old bastard!
You! You! You! It is you who ruined everything for me! Heavens curse you to have no descendants!
Cao Guo Feng was so agitated he had the urge to go on a rampage. But he still needed to maintain a good image before his ‘future disciple’, forcing himself to put on a kind and carefree image, although he was feeling extremely upset internally...
“Oh my god!... It really is! It really is the legendary Free and Natural Physique!” One Saint Emperor shrieked in surprise... His tone simply sounded like a young girl who suddenly saw her idol, like a Buddhist follower suddenly seeing Buddha in real life!
The table was already clean, and only Young Master Jun sat upon it like a plate of dish, his eyes dull and a face full of helplessness.
There were eight Saint Emperors, sixteen shining bright eyes scanning his body, from top to toe. Even if a great beauty were standing stark naked in this crowd, she may not be able to make these eight Saint Emperors reveal such a focused and engrossed expression and look in their eyes!
How extraordinary Young Master Jun’s supreme charm was!
Although he was still fully clothed, but Jun Mo Xie had a disgusting feeling as if he had been stripped bare naked. He felt like crying! I’m being thoroughly scanned by eight old demons who have lived for god knows how long... Why is my life so bitter?
Right now, he suddenly understood the same feeling of being provoked to the point of explosion but being unable to do anything about that he had brought upon Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master earlier. Truly instant retribution!
It was not that retribution wasn’t coming; it just wasn’t time yet. When the time was here, would will happen instantly! And in such a shocking and embarrassing manner! Help!
Who knew that simply coming out for a meal would cause such huge trouble?
These are eight Saint Emperors right before me—all the peak experts of the world! Assessing like me they are assessing the quality of meat. The look in their eyes is undisguised greed!
The f*ck, are you treating this young master as longevity meat 1 ?
Actually, these people were all mistaken. Jun Mo Xie was definitely not of some free and natural physique! This body, before Jun Xie had taken over, was complete garbage. It had no ‘natural aptitudes’ to speak of at all!
The Free and Natural Physique was indeed extremely rare; from ancient times till now, it seemed like the Nine Nether First Young Master was the only person with it!
But these people did not know that although Jun Mo Xie’s physique was not the Free and Natural Physique, but it was much much more rare than the Free and Natural physique!
Who was capable of using the purest Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to cleanse his body? And frequently in a day! Who was capable of undergoing transformations everyday? Changing every hour?
And who was capable of using the number one art in all of history and the world to cultivate? Who was able to perpetually use the number one treasure in the world, the Hongjun Pagoda, to aid himself!
And the most shocking, who was capable of owning an endless supply of Primal Chaos Purple Qi? This was a heaven-defying thing that even immortals could only pine for!
Under such a long period of such nourishment, Jun Mo Xie’s body can no longer be described as ‘natural endowments’. The current him was indeed and truly even more valuable than longevity meat!
Jun Mo Xie had always concealed his body condition very well. But he didn’t know if it was bad luck or his poor karma. He was provoking the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master without restraints, and because of this, he entered a state of enlightenment, causing his state of mind to be greatly different before enlightenment, but this had caused a slight fluctuation.
Just as he had finished his enlightenment, Zhan Mu Bai came in with Cao Guo Feng and the rest. Had it been any other Saint Emperor, they would probably brush past him, dismissing him as a small prodigy of the mundane world.
But the person who came was Cao Guo Feng!
Cao Guo Feng’s sect focused on changing Xuan Qi in their cultivation. And they had always only passed their cultivation methods to a sole disciple from generation to generation! Cao Guo Feng was hundreds of years old, but he had never found someone whom he deemed suitable to be his disciple!
This Saint Emperor Cao was looking at all the so-called prodigies like a hungry wolf.
Cao Guo Feng himself was blessed with superior natural endowments; otherwise, he wouldn’t be capable of cultivating to the supreme realm of a Saint Emperor. But he was still not any of those few types of unique natural physiques!
Cao Guo Feng had already reached his limit in attaining the cultivation of a Saint Emperor. He was probably incapable of breaking past it for the rest of his life! But he was still a few levels lower than his Master! And this was the greatest regret in his life!
So Cao Guo Feng once swore that no matter what, he must find the disciple with absolute natural endowments that could surpass all of his ancestors!
Coming to Tanguan Hall by chance today was truly a case of rain coming across an area of prolonged drought!
To think that he could come across the ‘natural and free physique’ that only existed in legends. Cao Guo Feng was naturally full of jealousy; his blood was also starting to boil. The current Saint Emperor Cao had already made his decision. No matter what, I must make him my disciple! Even if I have too fall out with all these old friends of hundreds of years, or even turn them into enemies, I don’t care!
And there were at least three other Saint Emperors who had the same idea as Cao Guo Feng! And one of them was Zhan Mu Bai, the Saint Emperor Bai who had dealt a sneak attack on Jun Mo Xie!
But Zhan Mu Bai was destined to not have any chance at this. Because for the sake of convincing Cao Guo Feng of the Misty Illusory Manor to accept his descendant as his disciple, he had came alone today. As long Cao Guo Feng agreed, Zhan Mu Bai had prepared lavish gifts for the other six people as well. Not for the sake of bribing them to keep hush about the matter, but just to ensure that his great-great-great-grandson could receive the best care and benefits in the Illusory Manor...
But in a great situation where pies fell from the sky like this now, Zhan Mu Bai was all on his own... The other party had seven people, seven Saint Emperors, and they were all from the Misty Illusory Manor! He was well aware of the differences in strength!
Young Master Jun was about to use his Yin Yang Escape Art to flee from the eight Saint Emperors, but a peculiar thought bubbled in his heart. And it was this thought that stopped Jun Mo Xie in his tracks.
Jun Mo Xie recalled something Mei Xue Yan had mentioned in the past. “... there’s a Seven Colored Tree within the Misty Illusory Manor! The Seven Colored Tree produces a kind of seven colored fruit, called the Seven Colored Holy Fruit... And in the Heaven Saint Palace of the three Holy Lands, there’s a Sacred Lotus Pond. Within it, there’s a stalk of Nine Segment Exquisite Lotus... Consuming one Seven Colored Holy Fruit and the petal of the Nine Segment Exquisite Lotus together will increase a person’s cultivation by 500 years and retain the appearance of the person for 500 years...”
Guan Qing Han, Dugu Xiao Yi, and his mother... This matter had always been on Jun Mo Xie’s mind. He had never forgotten about it. But... the Misty Illusory Manor has always been extremely secretive, and he had no idea how to even go in, what more think about stealing the Seven Colored Holy Tree...
Perhaps the situation today is an opportunity? It is up me to use it, but no matter what, this path must not be cut off completely yet!
Jun Mo Xie was anxiously making his considerations, temporarily forgetting the awkwardness of being surrounded like an exhibit...
“Lad, what is your name? How old are you?”
“Who is your master? Who do you learn from?”
“Where is your home? Who else is there in your family?”
“You...?”
Countless questions came from the eight Saint Emperors at the same time, causing Jun Mo Xie to be at a loss as to what to do. He had no idea whose question to answer first. After great difficulty in answering all these interrogations, he heaved a sigh of relief.
For the sake of his future plans, Jun Mo Xie’s white lies left these eight Saint Emperors extremely pleased: an orphan, all alone this world from young, his Master was a Jade Xuan warrior whom he was mutually dependent on...
As to the profound question of how he could maintain his Free and Natural Physique after growing so big, Jun Mo Xie gave a similar odd look and said, “it is said that I grew up in the tiger’s den when I saw younger; I do not know of anything else.”
Question: Have you ever eaten anything?
Answer: When I was young, I came across this white stone that had suddenly broken, and there was water inside, so I drank it, but they said that I was unconscious for a few days before I woke up again...
And thus, all the Saint Emperors came to a realisation. Sixteen brightly-lit eyes looked at Jun Mo Xie as they exclaimed, “No wonder! So it was the legendary Spirit Stone Immortal Milk! It may even have been a high quality Spirit Stone Immortal Milk of a few billion years; if that were the case, then everything could be explained!”
And so all of them looked at Jun Mo Xie with even greater passion in their eyes...
It truly... is a miracle!
A Free and Natural Physique was already so rare it was considered a legend. And this youth with the Free and Natural Physique had even once drank something equally legendary: Spirit Stone Immortal Milk!
This youth only needed to get a great Master, and his future achievements would be... simply be... indescribable!
All the eight Saint Emperors’ eyes were full of desire...
The eight Saint Emperors were cursing and wearing simultaneously in their hearts at the original Jade Xuan Master of this prodigy. What sort of poor standard! What a waste of talent! Having a disciple who was the only one in all of history to have this physique, teaching him for a few years, but he was only at the level of a Silver Xuan...
The inadequacy of this Master was unacceptable!
How could you waste such an excellent material? Luckily, that scoundrel had yet to spoil anything else, otherwise, if he had really ruined that natural physique, these eight Saint Emperors would definitely execute that master’s family a hundred times over...
