Chapter 68

68 Old Man Yuan

Standing by the intersection between the sea and river, Wang released his domain and set himself in one of the dimensions.

After Wang discovered the coldness that could even threaten him, he moved farther away from the sea and decided to focus on draining all the essence of blood from the huge body of the water dragon.

In terms of physique, ut had already surpassed him by far, but at the same time, he was more tempted by the horns.

With enough handling on his part, he could craft crude weapons from it.

In that case, he needed to be in a place where he couldn’t be distracted and thus the sea was always giving him that feeling of uncertainty.

Back at the forest village, an old man had entered followed by a young man. The pair did not even attract much attention. Apparently, in this small village, some people usually arrive after some time.

In other words, the forest village is not as hidden as Wang might think. Even those in the imperial city probably know of this place but it’s too small and even lacks any benefits for them to bother with it.

After all, the number of people in the village number less than even five hundred.

It is also the reason, one can view it as a village. A simpler life in the village and the small number of people allow everyone to probably know of any strangers arriving in the village.

.....

The old man had white hair but his skin remained as soft as that of a baby. His body seemed to have vitality and the young man followed behind him slowly.

After some distance the man couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher why did we come to such a remote village. Moreover, we could just bring that carriage and cow with us right? Leaving it in that place is very dangerous.” he was very puzzled.

The time he had to get an apprenticeship from this old man, he had to take many tests.

Among the numerous groups of people that had participated even some older than he was eliminated through some unbelievable methods.

From the information he had obtained before participating in the competition, the old man was very ancient in this world.

Some people even called him ‘Yuan old man’. to be able to live such a long time thus could only be due to having a high realm.

Even his trip to this remote village left the boy somehow confused and he seemed to be just acting casual like a mortal.

In the back, the young man also had several questions to ask, but he just did not end up doing it.

The two were passing by the people heading to some location, where several businesses were stationed.

But the old man turned his eyes in a certain direction only to see a three-year-old girl running around towards some residence.

But his face seemed to have discovered something that shocked him.

“How could that be possible, looking at age of that brat she is still probably even learning to walk, how could she contain such immense potential.” the man was shocked.

He had collected the best among the best when it came to disciples and thus the moment he saw the little girl he was astonished.

In this small village except for those people he had never seen anyone else whose strength is high. Even if they are around, they can’t have children with such potential.

The bewildered expression of the old man was still hidden from the outside, after all, he had lived for some time.

Based on this alone he couldn’t easily lose his cool over something like that, and his mind was wondering whether or not to pick up another disciple.

But his main goal is to accomplish the task of bringing him to this village.

As he moved past the shops, he had already arrived at an abandoned alley.

Passing by it with the young man, they arrived at a huge compound surrounded by some cherry blossom trees.

The boy was started by the changes and looking behind him he couldn’t see the way they entered anymore.

Looking at the expression of his disciple the old man Yuan seemed very pleased.

As he smiled he continued until they could see a courtyard in the distance and a chess board set up close to them under one of the cherry blossoms trees.

Old man, Yuan sat down without even waiting to be invited and moved one of the pieces.

“Aaaaa.. Yuan you want to die? just because this old man did not welcome you, you messing up my formations.”.An old man appeared from the hut.

His eyes looked over at the old man Yuan before stopping and then the disciple by his side.

“Ha.. did you take in another disciple? No wonder you have time to visit me right? You want me to help him cleanse his foundation right? It’s going to cost you more than last time. This old man has taken some trouble to gain some of the original materials.” the old man was telling a lie with his eyes open.

“You also have to collect precious materials, I guess we can stay around for some days and drink some of your famous white blossoms wine.” old man Yuan had a very scheming smile on his face.

“Stop.. stop.. senior brother you can’t behave like this alright. You know I have saved that wine for a big occasion. Little brat how about coming over to uncle master. We should cleanse the foundation for you.” the old man had no plan of having his wine tasted.

Taste? only a fool could believe that. He even had to throw away his face to avoid letting the old man get ahold of his fine wine.

The last time he made the mistake to show the wine to the old man, he ended up consuming close to half of his collection.

After recounting the experiences he then realized he had been played and the old man Yuan had already left.

At that time he did not learn his lesson yet similar situations happened to him due to having to maintain face.

But after understanding this old man Yuan, he no longer cares about even his face.

But the old man did not seem to be discouraged and was still smiling.

One could see that he had already anticipated this situation.

As he was smiling he suddenly remembered something and stopped.

Looked toward the old man with a serious expression. He wanted to ask about the little girl be just saw outside in the village streets.

But the old man seeing Yuan look over seriously changed his expression and hurriedly offered some explanation.

“This old man just thought the methods used in the past were not quite right so is making adjustments.” the explanation however did not seem to bother the old man Yuan.

His thoughts were still somewhere else. So he just asked, “By the way Guo, I run into a three-year-old girl with monstrous potential. Do you know her?”

The moment Old man Guo heard it he relaxed. in his heart before saying, “Three year old. three year old... Ooh, you met doctor Wang’s daughter. She is the only one among all the villagers that can run around at such a young age and her potential is indeed very high. Even though I was tempted but I lost interest in the end. I always feel that doctors have some secrets. Moreover, looking at him always gives me a dangerous feeling. There has not been any disease in the village he can’t deal with.”

The old Guo looked at the old man Yuan and said, “Stop daydreaming. That kid’s parents wouldn’t allow their there-year-old to leave with some strange old man. Moreover, even if they knew it so what, that family probably wouldn’t allow even to give you a face. Perish that thought.” The old man had seen Wang one time carrying his daughter.

He also tried to bring up the issue of reading fortune but Wang denied it on the spot.

he said his daughter should stay home for some time until old enough.

This was already considered him declining the probability of her going to practice while she was still young.

What the old man did not know was that Wang had other plans. Improving his daughter’s potential and even physique from dragon blood.

He would be shocked to realize that Wang was currently slowly extracting essence blood from the huge dragon’s body and expelling all the other impurities using the heaven and earth flame.

The golden flame was burning at very high temperatures and thus, Wang sitting midair just extracted blood from the huge body and slowly refined it into pure dragon blood.

The vitality generated from the blood was very intense and without the use of true meaning perhaps the dragon could just recover after being injured instantly making killing it almost impossible.

With time, small fist-sized golden blood was floating near Wang. Taking out a gourd-like container from the storage device, all the accumulated drops of blood were allowed to enter the gourd.
