C73 Su Baichen

Hu hu hu hu!

When Qin Shaojie's footsteps left the wooden bridge, he also let out a long sigh of relief. Although he had a certain degree of knowledge regarding formations, he did not dare to relax even a little bit for the entire process. After all, he was not sure if Su Baichen had made any adjustments to the formations.

Once anything unexpected happened, the current Qin Shaojie had no way to force his way through.

After putting down the wooden barrel in his hand, Qin Shaojie also followed the quiet and secluded stone path as he walked deeper into the island.

Only after truly entering the small island did Qin Shaojie feel that the profound energy inside was much denser than outside. Back then, when he was in Holy Flame Academy, he clearly felt that the profound energy in the Holy Flame Academy was denser than outside the academy, but he never expected that the small island was even denser than this.

However, Qin Shaojie had still yet to mobilize his own body to attempt to absorb the Heaven and Earth's Profound Spirit Qi inside his body. Currently, the profound veins was still in its nurturing stage for three days, and after three days of absorbing his own blood essence, it had grown quite a bit, but he knew that there was still a long way to go before it could grow, and there were some things that he could not rush to do.

"You're here?"

The deeper they went into the courtyard, the more they could feel the tranquility of the small island. When a small thatched courtyard appeared before Qin Shaojie's eyes, a low and deep voice sounded.

Without any hesitation, Qin Shaojie also walked towards the thatched courtyard. If the one inside hadn't found out, then he didn't have the right to occupy this small island.

The courtyard wasn't very large, but after entering, Qin Shaojie discovered that other than the various flowers and herbs, it actually gave off a very plain and simple feeling. Entering the small courtyard, Qin Shaojie also found a huge tree filled with fiery red flowers in his courtyard, and under the huge tree, there was a stone table, which required several people to wrap their arms around it. At this moment, an elder was sipping tea, Qin Shaojie's appearance caused him to not even lift his head.

"Kid Qin Shaojie greets Su Lao."

Although he was sitting upright, he was still unable to hide his somewhat skinny and emaciated body. His pale white hair was a little messy at the moment, and the exposed hand that was carrying the teacup in the air caused Qin Shaojie to be startled. Like a dried up demon, his hand did not have the slightest bit of life on it, and other than his wrinkled skin, the only thing that remained was what seemed to be bones.

Although he could not feel any trace of vitality or aura from the old man, Qin Shaojie's pupils slightly shrank. The old man looked like a person on the verge of death, but it gave Qin Shaojie the feeling that he was one with the world and it was as if he was one with the world. It was clear that he was right in front of him, yet he gave the feeling that he was rather ethereal.

"Sit!"

As for the old man, he was not surprised at all when Qin Shaojie found out about his identity. As long as he asked him a little, he knew that he was the only one qualified to stay on this small island.

Qin Shaojie did not stand on ceremony and walked over with large strides, and directly sat opposite of Su Lao. Seeing that the teacups on the stone table were ready to be brewed, he also smiled and drank it all in one gulp.

Be it in his previous life or this life, Qin Shaojie had no interest in drinking tea or alcohol.

Seeing Qin Shaojie in this state, the eyes of the opposing Su Lao, which had been still the entire time, started to ripple. He didn't expect this fellow to be so disrespectful.

"You are the first one who can find a way to enter the island."

After a long while, Su Lao finally put down the teacup. At this moment, his gaze finally fell on Qin Shaojie, and under that somewhat hoarse voice, a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.

All these years, in the Holy Flame Academy, other than Qin Shaojie, no one else could use this method to enter. Therefore, in the depths of the Sacred Heart Lake, other than himself, there was almost no one else who could find any disciples from the Holy Flame Academy.

"Kid, I never thought that we would encounter an ancient formation here. It's truly an accident."

Without hiding anything, Qin Shaojie stared intently at Su Lao and his gaze. Ancient formations were extremely rare existences. Even if one knew that this was just an incomplete map or an extremely low level existence within the formation, it was sufficient to prove that it was not simple. Furthermore, without even guessing, one could tell that this formation was set up by the Su Lao in front of them.

It would be alright if he was in the sect, but this was just the Holy Flame Academy s, so he was far from qualified to come into contact with items of this level. Therefore, Qin Shaojie was rather surprised.

When he thought about the structure of the entire Holy Flame Academy, Qin Shaojie became quite interested in this place as well.

Intuition told Qin Shaojie that this Holy Flame Academy was definitely not simple. With four surrounding mountains, all the buildings in the lake had been meticulously arranged and were basically a huge formation. If it was just to increase the concentration of the Qi of Heaven and Earth in this place, then it would be a waste of time.

"Don't tell me you came in just to take a spin."

The Qin Shaojie in front of him was truly difficult for Su Lao to figure out, but he was not in a hurry. The Qin Shaojie before his eyes looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. At this age, there was only one possibility for him to appear in the Holy Flame Academy, and that was freshmen.

If it were any other time, Su Lao would not even have the interest to open his mouth, but to be able to see through the ancient array and enter it, Su Lao had no choice but to treat it anew.

"I want to find a mentor here. After thinking about it, it seems like only you are more suitable."

Shrugging his shoulders, Qin Shaojie did not hide anything. Amongst all the instructors, he had also seen that only Su Baichen did not have any requirements for the students. The other instructors were at least the four Tattooed Soul s, but it was a pity that Qin Shaojie was only one of the three, so he had no choice.

Of course, Qin Shaojie quite liked the situation on this small island. After all, it was very quiet here. It was likely that no one other than him, the future mentor, would be able to disturb him.

"You only have three Tattooed Soul? "Interesting."

The old man finally spoke after he sized up Qin Shaojie a few times with an unperturbed gaze. didn't find it strange that an expert with a high probability of having Earth Origin Stage would be able to see through her situation.

But this also proved Qin Shaojie's guess from the beginning, that this Su Lao was a real Earthly Yuan Stage expert, after all, he was extremely confident, under the condition that he did not take the initiative to attack, the Three Spiritual Realm Warriors would not be able to determine his cultivation level.

He never thought that this old man, who the entire academy underestimated, would actually be a Earth Origin Stage. Looks like he had still picked up a big bargain, after all, Earthly Yuan Stage expert was something that was absolutely outstanding even in the Holy Flame Academy s.

"For you to be able to see through the ancient formation and enter the Holy Flame Academy with three Tattooed Soul is truly not an ordinary person."

"However, do you think you can become this old man's student just like that?"

However, what made Qin Shaojie a little surprised was that the Su Lao opposite him suddenly laughed.

"I wonder what Su Lao's requirements and conditions are?"

frowned slightly. He originally thought that the wooden bridge was a test for the students selected by the Su Lao, but Su Lao did not seem to be like this. This made Qin Shaojie feel a little awkward.

However, Qin Shaojie was not anxious, if the Su Lao was not interested in him, he would not waste so much time drinking tea with him. As long as he was willing, he could throw him out of the island at any time.

"You are very smart. However, seeing that you are able to break that formation, I can tell you that." I don't have any requirements to accept students, but having no requirements is my greatest request. All these years, no one has understood. "

"Teaching is not something that this old man is good at. Any teacher in Holy Flame Academy can do better than me, so if you want to learn cultivation or seek resources, all the other coaches are more suitable than this old man."

Su Lao's words were very dull, to the point where there wasn't the slightest fluctuation in his emotions. It was as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary matter.

However, Qin Shaojie could feel a sense of unwillingness from these words.

Yes, he could feel the unwillingness of the Great Su Lao.

"If my guess is not wrong, it should be because Su Lao cannot leave this island, or perhaps it is because he cannot leave this island for a long time."

Suddenly, Qin Shaojie interrupted the Su Lao as he looked up and said solemnly.

"What did you say?!"

Qin Shaojie's words also made Su Lao's face suddenly tremble, after that, his eyes that were like a pool of stagnant water also flickered non-stop, and even the aura in his body became chaotic!

"Brat, tell me, the real reason why Su Lao said all these, with his Earth Origin Stage, is because he is trapped on this small island or in the Sacred Heart Lake."

Sensing the unusual change that had occurred in the Su Lao, Qin Shaojie was even more sure of his own thoughts.

From the beginning, he had already noticed that there was something special about this place. If it was just a guess at the beginning, then Su Lao's reaction made Qin Shaojie completely confirm his thoughts.

"You, which family are you from?!"

He forcefully suppressed the shock and turmoil in his heart, and the eyes Su Lao looked at Qin Shaojie once again became extremely serious and serious!
