Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Misty Mountain, behind the cliffs of the Wayless Sect.

Gazing at the beaten and swollen Li Ergang before him.

Zhang Han coughed twice, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He had already beaten him up.

And yet, this Li Ergang had just told him.

That these pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, and vegetables were all sorts of spiritual beings, and that the dishes made from these items were beneficial to cultivation.

What's more, his Respected Master also liked to eat dishes made by Li Ergang.

For the sake of the Sect, Li Ergang had found a plot of land near the back cliffs to carry out various types of farming.

But as soon as Zhang Han had come over, he had given him a beating.

Now, it would be strange if Zhang Han weren't embarrassed.

"Well... uh... this..."

Zhang Han really didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely report the truth to the Sect Master."

The beaten and bruised Li Ergang stared at Zhang Han with a deep gaze, not caring about the other's status anymore; he bore a grudge.

"You see, I couldn't help it, I had just returned, not aware of the specific situation. Don't call me sir, just call me Zhang Han. Come here, let me set up a healing array for you."

Zhang Han smiled helplessly.

He extended his hand.

Using the power of the Taiyin Star, he arranged a healing formation right beneath Li Ergang's feet.

As soon as the formation was established.

Li Ergang's injuries immediately began to heal.

He looked down at his plump body, feeling a warm sensation, and couldn't help but be amazed.

"Zhang Han, sir, what is this... what kind of technique is this?"

"A formation."

"Sir Zhang Han, why don't you teach me this formation method? That way, we can call it even for the beating. What do you say?"

"I'm afraid that's not possible."

"Why not? Is it a secret of the Sect that must not be disclosed?"

"No."

"Then why not?"

"You don't have the brains for it, you wouldn't be able to learn."

Li Ergang: "..."

He really wanted to curse.

Was there such a person?

To beat him up and then say he had no brains...

"Cough cough, I don't mean to mock you; I'm serious, you really don't have the brains."

Zhang Han coughed again, trying to explain.

"I... Sir Zhang Han, you look like a scholar, gentle and mild-mannered, but I didn't expect you to be so harsh when you insult someone."

Li Ergang struggled to come up with that sentence after some effort.

Zhang Han next to him was also helpless.

He really wasn't cursing.

His formation cultivation.

First off, required a powerful intellect to visualize.

To resonate with all elements of heaven and earth.

Then, one also needed an Array Heart.

Along with various other factors,

Only then could he accomplish what he had done.

He wasn't just making things up; it truly was difficult to achieve.

Right from the start, Li Ergang's intellectual capacity was inadequate.

"I'm not insulting you, let's not talk about this for now. Oh right, I came to you because I have something to discuss."

"But before we get to that, I'm really curious, where did you get these Spirit Pigs and Spirit Chickens from? Don't tell me you're really that rich?"

Zhang Han asked curiously.

"I don't have the money to buy them. After you and the Sect Master left the mountain, the eldest senior disciple of the Wayless Sect came back and met with me. I told him about these things, and then he arranged for people to go purchase them."

Li Ergang squatted on the ground, while feeling the effects of the healing formation, and spoke.

Hearing this, Zhang Han was first taken aback, then a look of understanding crossed his face.

So it was the eldest senior disciple who had returned.

Then he understood.

But those battle traces.

Did the eldest senior disciple give the third junior disciple a beating?

With a feeling of schadenfreude, Zhang Han asked again.

"Did the eldest senior disciple perhaps give some pointers to the third junior disciple over there at the Grand Hall Square?"

Zhang Han said with a smile.

"Pointers? No, not at all."

Li Ergang thought back briefly and shook his head.

"Why are there signs of a fight over by the Grand Hall Square?"

Zhang Han frowned and asked.

"Oh oh oh, that, it wasn't the eldest senior brother who had a fight with the bald Third Senior Brother. It was someone the eldest senior brother brought who fought with Third Senior Brother. For some reason, during the fight, Third Senior Brother started crying."

Li Ergang spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Han was dumbfounded on the spot.

What the heck.

In the middle of the fight.

The third brother started crying?

Cried from being beaten?

That's too much, isn't it?

Zhang Han thought back to his sparring with the eldest senior brother.

He had taken a physical and spiritual double beating from the eldest senior brother, with thousands of swords piercing his heart, and was battered all over, but he never cried.

How come this third brother ended up crying?

No way.

He had to go and give Third Brother some ideological education.

Zhang Han immediately said goodbye to Li Ergang.

He walked down towards the middle of the mountain.

...

Meanwhile.

Inside the Ancestral Master Hall.

Chu Yuan sat on the Sect Master's throne at the head.

The Stone Chessboard and the Crimson Longsword were placed beside the throne.

At this moment.

Chu Yuan looked indifferently at Dantai Luoxue kneeling at the center of the hall below.

He actually never intended to have Dantai Luoxue show such a grand gesture because he really didn't care about formalities.

But Dantai Luoxue insisted, determined to perform a grand ceremony for Chu Yuan, claiming it was a disciple's salute to her master.

Since the other party insisted,

Chu Yuan had no choice but to let Dantai Luoxue perform the grand kneeling ceremony.

After Dantai Luoxue completed the ceremony,

Chu Yuan finally spoke up again.

"Alright, alright, Luo Xue, I appreciate the sentiment. Get up now."

Chu Yuan waved his hand,

intending to help Dantai Luoxue up with mana.

But as he raised his hand, he realized he was but a Qi Refinement Stage weakling.

Where would the mana come from?

So, Chu Yuan silently covered up the awkward moment with his wide sleeves.

"Yes, Respected Master,"

Dantai Luoxue said, not noticing Chu Yuan's little movements as she quietly stood up.

"Luo Xue, now that you have joined my sect, I have not much else to say. Your talent is strong, this I know, but the teachings I offer you may be beyond your common understanding. I hope you are prepared for this,"

Chu Yuan pre-empted, fearing this genius might not understand his bluffs and simply run away.

However, Dantai Luoxue showed no sign of surprise.

Instead, her demeanor seemed as if it was to be expected.

Her path had already been cut off.

If the Respected Master imparted ordinary cultivation methods to her, that would truly be strange.

"Respected Master, I understand,"

Dantai Luoxue nodded, her beautiful face full of pride and seriousness.

"Hmm, good that you understand. Let me ask you a question first, Luo Xue. Do you know what 'Tao' is? What is the essence of Tao? How many Taos are there, and where can Tao be found?"

Chu Yuan began his usual bluffing.

He wanted to start off with a question,

then follow with a good round of bluffing.

By normal standards,

this disciple would either say she didn't know or would babble nonsense, which he could then dismiss as all wrong.

It was as simple as that.

Chu Yuan, having bluffed three disciples, expressed,

that he might not be good at other things,

but when it came to bluffing, he was a professional!

On the other hand, in the center of the hall, Dantai Luoxue heard this and revealed a faint smile. She did not answer Chu Yuan's question, but instead, turned the inquiry back on him.

"Respected Master, I believe you shouldn't be asking me this question. It's I who should be asking you."

"Otherwise, if the disciple understood, then it wouldn't be the disciple who is the disciple, but rather you, Respected Master, who would be the disciple."

Dantai Luoxue said with a smile.

Chu Yuan: "..."

What on earth is this generation of disciples…
