It wasn’t onerous to seek out disciple Han’s home Truly, he was the one disciple of the one Receptarier elder of the Purple Cloud sect. A grand Elder named Lao Bofan. A brand new factor I realized. Apparently elder and grand elders are two various things. An elder is somebody who’s chargeable for a sure exercise within the sect. Just like the Corridor grasp Yun of the Cloud Pavilion, or Elder Hu Tian of the punishment corridor. However for the Purple Cloud Grand Elders, there have been solely three.
The Grand Elder of the Outer disciples, the Grand Elder of the Internal Disciples, and the Grand Elder of the Core disciples. And every of those elders has totally different tasks and isn’t much less necessary than another.
Then the sect grasp, who leads the entire sect, and the sect’s grandmaster who’s the older sect chief however had to surrender his position to the newer technology. The hierarchy system was not that sophisticated, however let’s return to our prior level.
Han was being mentored by a Grand Grasp, even when he was not a Core disciple. Even when Core disciples have been the hope and way forward for the sect, apparently Han’s martial prows weren’t sufficient to get him a place within the core disciples’ spot. However his understanding of Alchemy gave him an incredible aptitude to turn into a Receptarier.
I understood all of this from a short dialog with elder Yun on a sport of Go that we performed a couple of days in the past earlier than this entire ordeal occurred. We have been simply randomly speaking till he introduced up the incident of me telling off the interior disciple and he then defined to me why I ought to be on my guard and cautious of his retaliation and gave me a briefing of the sect’s hierarchy.
Now, as I stood in entrance of disciple Han’s home, I used to be caught in a dilemma. If I have been to confront him, I might in all probability find yourself overwhelmed to a pulp. But when I do not then I introduced nothing however hardship on Meng Hao who was solely there to assist me. My actions introduced misfortune to those round me, that is what Elder Yun stated.
So, I’ve to take care of this myself, however on the off probability I handle to subdue disciple Han, then his grasp, the Grand Elder will certainly retaliate.
I contemplated on what to do for a couple of moments earlier than I sighed and determined to go away. However simply as I turned, an previous man, far older than me because it appeared from the white clean beard that reached all the way in which to the bottom.
He wore grey robes and had a candy scent about him. Like a fragrance fabricated from all of the world’s candy natural scents.
“What are you doing in entrance of my disciple’s dwelling…” requested the person whose resting facial features was as critical as somebody who had his favourite shoe stepped on.
At that second, I felt that if this individual wished me useless, I had no technique to deny him that ‘proper’. Sure, I say Proper as a result of, in a cultivation world, it’s your Proper if you want somebody useless or alive, it’s your proper since you are stronger. A world as a rule as this one can’t be measured with the serendipitous mindset of a person from the trendy world.
“I am right here for an evidence, grand Elder Lao Bofan”
“So, you understand of me, however I do know no of you, nonetheless what appears to be the matter then?” requested the previous man.
“I am Shen Bao, an outer disciple, I got here right here for justice in opposition to a brother of mine that has been harmed by your disciple Han.”
The previous man waved at me and my entire physique shuddered, “Issues of the youthful technology ought to be dealt with by the youthful technology. If my disciple wronged you, turn into higher than him and get your justice again. Go away me out of your issues.”
I frowned on the previous man, for 2 issues. The primary was that when he waved, I seen that the tip of his index finger, center finger, and thumb had an icy sheen to it, they have been virtually clear as in the event that they have been fabricated from glass. The Poison God’s Heritage gave me a short clarification of the explanation of this man’s ‘sickness.’
The second factor was what he stated, issues of the youthful technology ought to be dealt with by the youthful technology.
“Then if I have been to kill disciple Han, you will not retaliate?”
“If you happen to kill him whereas being youthful and fewer highly effective than him, I am going to take you as my very own disciple,” the previous man stated. “Geniuses who die are not any totally different than trash, keep in mind that.”
“Proper then, additionally, when you need assistance with the 5 Destruction of Physique Poison, I may help you eliminate the Ice Destruction plaguing you.”
The second I uttered the phrases, the previous man appeared proper in entrance of me, he was so quick that I felt like he teleported. His expression turning much more critical than his resting critical face.
“Brat! If you happen to dare utter nonsense you do not know then your finish can be rapid. Who instructed you concerning the 5 Destructions poison?!”
I swallowed a big gulp, perhaps I ought to preserve my fucking mouth shut. Appearing all sensible is not sensible, it is gonna get me fucking killed.
I made a psychological notice, if I do know shit I ought to shut up about it and solely convey it up when its helpful to me. Now, I am within the gutters however I’ve to change this case round.
“That is my private secret and I will not focus on it with you, nonetheless I supplied an answer with pure ideas and do not know the explanation why solely the tip of your fingers is inflicted.”
“If you understand the remedy then begin speaking!”
“You must simply dip your hand in a 300 years previous Orchid Nectar. It ought to alleviate the ache and scale back the crystallization.”
The previous man eliminated his hand from my collar and contemplated. “I by no means thought of it, a 300 years previous non secular Orchid does have Yang properties, however they’re delicate and so they might nullify the iciness of the poison with out conflicting with it. So, it ought to work. That is really sensible considering, however how are you aware of such an orchid or such a poison.”
“I instructed you, it is a secret.”
“You should have are available contact with a Receptariers guide. I am able to buy it from you at no matter value you want.”
Now right here comes the onerous half. “I am going to have to say no.”
The previous man’s face scrunched up in an unsightly frown, however nonetheless, he sighed and stated, “No worries then. Nonetheless, you understand what is going on on with the poison in me proper?”
“Sure. You are not the first goal, you have been in all probability making an attempt to deal with a affected person who has a good worse situation.”
“Sure. Do you assume you possibly can assist this affected person?”
“He’s nonetheless alive?” I requested.
“Sure.”
“Rattling, if the collateral is that extreme on you the way come the first bothered be nonetheless alive. I would like to see it for myself.”
“Then you definitely’ll should comply with me.” The previous man stated and I adopted after.
Alright, notice to self, If I ever come out of this in a single piece, I am going to should watch out of what I say. That is the very same shit that makes all of these heroic characters in these tales really feel like they’re making full dumb selections after they might have saved their mouths shut.
