Chapter 410: Chapter 315: The Old One Wants to Join (Part 1)_1
“Honorable one, as I have already passed the assessment, can I join Liu Village now?”
As Jiang Hui’s voice faded, the young man hastily inquired, his face brimming with anticipation.
Jiang Hui had previously informed the boy that after passing the assessment, he could go to the hidden world mountain village where he lived and officially become a member of his disciple, ready to heed his teachings at any time.
In his previous conversation with the boy, Jiang Hui portrayed Liu Village as something of a paradise.
He had not deceived the boy.
Because Liu Village indeed befits the characterization of tranquil and harmonious, a deep-seated paradise.
Untouched by strife or war, with picturesque scenery, harmonious cohabitation of poultry and pets, with no thefts in sight, everyone filled with vigor, everyone with broad smiles, everyone brimming with hope, no need to worry about sustenance, nor concern about invaders from outside.
The children can run freely in the wilderness, they can comfortably sleep till dawn, and adults can host bonfires after meals, reminiscing about the past.
Amidst the impending struggles, if such a place does not deserve the label of paradise, then what does?!
His gaze was filled with anticipation, staring at the figure in front of him with yearning. In his view, only by officially joining the honorable one’s power would he truly become a disciple.
Such an occurrence was like a blessing from ancestral spirits, a missed chance would be a regret of a lifetime, hence his urgency.
He had been cautious all along, never forsaking any opportunity he could grab, with such a favorable opportunity falling into his lap, he naturally ought to cherish it.
Saints have always been elusive, but in the boy’s eyes, the honorable one before him was even more so.
His favor towards him outweighed the heavens, something he might not be capable of repaying in this lifetime.
One must understand, those who had come along with him were all rare talents of Yun Zhou, in terms of foundation and depth of knowledge, they far surpassed him who was in ill health, yet the honorable one chose none of them, but chose him who was bedridden for a long time, if not favor, what else could it be?
Long illness made him a doctor, the young man had a good understanding of his own constitution, inherently frail, having lost too much Qi and blood. If it had been a few years earlier, perhaps there would have been a remedy, but now, even the most eminent doctor in the world, would probably be helpless.
The symptoms had transformed into a chronic disease, which was difficult to nourish, to the point that his meridians had become narrow, it was perhaps difficult for him to make any progress in cultivation in this lifetime.
But even so, the Honorable One without any hesitation, kept him and drove the others away, what kind of favor must it be that he feels he may never be able to repay in a lifetime?
Moreover, he had never seen the trials that the honorable one had spoken about, he had been allowed to explore freely in this cave, and then he was directly informed that he had passed the assessment, if not backdoor favoritism, what else could it be?
But the young man did not feel belittled, his skin was not so thin, nor his mind so narrow, otherwise he would have died of anger long ago. In his eyes, being seen by the honorable one was a luck of three lifetimes.
Although he held the status of a young master in his original clan, his status was not high, his mother was nothing more than a concubine, who died during childbirth.
As for his father, he was nothing more than a philandering scumbag, who over the years had married countless concubines that he had lost count, even specifically built a mansion for his harems, and they named it Yuchun Garden.
God knows what went wrong in his mind to come up with such a name… anyone who did not know would think it was the grand opening of a new brothel.
The man spent his days in drunken stupor, and had no time for him, a bastard son born to a concubine.
Fortunately, over the years, the main wife, who was also the mother of the girl who had accompanied him on this journey, gave him some attention that allowed him to survive birth, otherwise he would not only have failed to grow up but may not have even survived to a full month.
Now, his destiny may change.
“Li Zi Cheng’s Faith Value +20.”
“Li Zi Cheng’s Faith Value +10.”
“…”
Watching the young man’s rapidly increasing faith value, Jiang Hui smiled lightly. He was not surprised by the boy’s actions.
After passing on his teachings, the boy’s faith value reached a hundred, reaching the level of a loyal follower, naturally he would look forward to joining Liu Village as soon as possible.
“Certainly!”
Jiang Hui’s finger pointed towards the air in front of him.
His fingers were long and translucent like agate, casting a soft reddish glow.
As his finger fell.
In an instant, the air that was like a mirror gently quivered, followed by visible ripples that spread out quickly in all directions.
The next moment.
A vibrant colorful portal appeared in front of the boy, suspended in mid-air.
The stone gate was neither too high nor too wide, just right for the boy to pass through.
Through the stone gate, one could faintly hear cheerful laughter and the crowing of roosters and barking of dogs, creating a sense of harmony and a sense of peace.
“After you pass through this stone gate, you will be in Liu Village. From now on, that will be your home. If you have any loved ones that you can’t bear to part with, you can bring them here too!”
Jiang Hui spoke in a leisurely manner.
“Honorable one, the disciple would like to ask, where did the old servant, who has always followed around the disciple, go? If possible, the disciple would like to bring him in as well!”
The boy, suppressing his joy, said.
He had no one close to him, but the old servant certainly counted as one, having watched him grow up, and several times saved him from danger.
“He is not here, I have placed him somewhere else. If you wish, I can let him join you!” Jiang Hui said.
When he initially established the trial cave, he did so according to the number of individuals, therefore the old servant was not by his side, now, he was “reflecting” in another cave dwelling.
Although the boy’s faith value had reached the level where he could pass on his teachings, the faith value of the old servant by his side had remained steady from beginning to end.
Of course, strictly speaking, it was not completely static, it had grown somewhat, but not significantly.
Clearly, the old man was not as easy to deal with as the boy.
But even so, an individual of the sect leader level was still worth pursuing.
At present, there was a distinct lack of high-level combat personnel in Liu Village. Apart from himself, there was nobody who could handle a fight. If things continued like this, although the protection provided by the Utopia Array would rule out any mishaps, it would eventually knock the village’s reputation, it could not be that every time a situation arose, it was his responsibility to handle it personally!
“Then, I appreciate your kindness, Honorable One.” The boy’s voice echoed, respectfully.
“No need for formalities!” Jiang Hui waved his hand, speaking in a calm tone.
Afterward, he had a thought and instantly appeared before the old servant.
However, unlike with the boy, this time he used Huang Liang’s Dream in conjunction with the Technique of Creation, to slightly alter his appearance.
As a result.
The old servant saw a sight before him that left him utterly astonished.
At the distant end of the horizon, a colossal figure appeared intermittently, its figure bathed in the electric glow that reached the high heavens.
And, where the divine light touched, there were thirty thousand miles of rising Great Taoist runes, and golden lotuses blooming.
