Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 506 - Hostility and Cruelty
Previously, it was Ming Zhi who challenged Zhang En in public, and if Zhang En lost, he would have to make a thousand prostrations to Min Zhi. Moreover, he also had to summon Ming Zhi as the Ancestor.
Ming Zhi's actions were a blatant act of disrespect towards him. In other words, this Long Qin did not place Master Kun in his eyes.
Since that was the case, Master Kun also did not need to give Long Qin any leeway and never put Long Qin's status in his eyes.
No one expected Master Kun to be so direct and unyielding in front of the crowd, rejecting Long Qin's request without hesitation.
Long Qin's face changed, becoming cold and sullen, even the surrounding temperature became sharply dropped. With Long Qin's feet as the center, a thick layer of ice spread out on the ground surface.
"Old Man Kun, are you sure?" Long Qin asked with a thin swnyum on his face. Although he was wary of Master Kun, it did not mean that he was truly afraid of Master Kun.
“Well, your talent is not bad, it seems like you have reached the perfection stage in your Sky Dragon Technique. However, back then, your Master also reached the stage of perfection in such a Technique, but he was still not my opponent. Do you really think you're stronger than your old master?"
Wajaha Long Qin looked extremely grim, he recalled the words his Master said that unless his Heavenly Dragon Technique exceeded the perfection stage, he would not be an opponent of Master Kun. But, his Master did not mention about suffering injuries from his battle with Master Kun.
Doubt flickered in Long Qin's eyes.
At this moment, all the elders of the Heavenly Dragon Sect who were standing behind Lonh Qin started to circulate their Qi in silence. Their oppressive aura enveloped the entire vast courtyard, preparing to attack at any moment.
The high tension was suddenly broken by Ming Zhi's voice. "Teacher, since the bet was put forward by this disciple, the disciple is willing to fulfill it according to agreement." Finished saying that, Ming Zhi walked towards Zhang En.
In front of many shocked eyes, Ming Zhi bent her knees, knelt down and began prostrating.
Long Qin's fist clenched tightly, releasing a terrifying aura. In the end, he did not take any further action.
Although Long Qin prided himself on the fact that his strength had surpassed his Master, thousands of years had passed, and he thought the strength of the current Master Kun might have already increased as well.
Perhaps due to the cold aura coming from Long Qin, no one dared to ridicule or laugh at Ming Zhi.
Every time he banged his head, Ming Zhi said the word ancestor.
There was a small frown on Zhang En's forehead. The sudden change in Ming Zhi's attitude, being able to endure this humiliation, deviated from his thinking.
After performing a kotow and handing over the golden treasure, Ming Zhi returned to Long Qin's side after with an extremely calm wakah expression.
"Let's go!" Long Qin coldly ordered, leading his group of sect elders away.
Before Ming Zhi turned to leave, apart from her calm face, the look in her eyes as they swept over Zhang En contained hostility and cruelty so intense that others would kneel down.
A moment later, Long Qin's group disappeared from everyone's sight. Those waiting to watch a good show broke up with a sense of regret.
After everything was over, Zhang En, Master, Chen Ye, Chu Ping, and all the Elders of the Alchemist Association returned home to the association headquarters.
According to tradition, each new Pill King should pay homage to the previous Pill King statue. Of course, after today, Zhang En's statue would be added to the line the statue was in.
After the ceremony was over, Master Kun returned to his usual self, his face looking extremely radiant looking at Zhang En, “Nak, you won first place in the competition, as well as the Golden Treasure. You are now a real rich man, we must drink to celebrate! Come on, let's go to the wine restaurant! ” Master Kun then looked towards Chen Ye, Chu Ping, and the others, “Let's go, all of you come along as well. This student of mine will pay for everything!”
Zhang En was completely speechless this time. Judging from the situation, it seemed like he would not be able to refuse his Master's invitation.
They finally headed to the restaurant they had been to before in a good and happy mood.
When the restaurant owner, Kai Zhi, received the news that Zhang En and Master Kun were coming, he was already respectfully waiting at the entrance to greet them. He even cleaned the entire table, closing their place for a day specifically for Zhang En's group.
The rules were long established for one person, one pitcher, but Kai Zhi had more than a hundred jugs on Zhang En's group. According to Kai Zhi, all the wine was his private collection, so no rules were broken.
Under the influence of her good mood and incredible wine, even Lie Hue drank more than usual, her delicate face red like an apple, adding a layer of allure to her beauty, she said,
As the drinking event took place, Chen Ye, Chu Ping, and the other elders continued to raise their cups toast with Zhang En and call him Senior Brother. Still, Zhang En was helpless when these people insisted on calling out to him with that sentence.
The minumpun event passed by with a loud voice and laughter.
By the time Zhang En's group came out of the restaurant, it was already night.
Returning to Chen Ye's residence, inside the room arranged for him, Zhang En took out his gift of a god stone nervously.
Like the previous god stone, the quality of this god stone was one level above the god stone that Mastwr Kun had given him. But the difference was that the great energy contained within this stone exceeded the previous stone so far.
At that very instant, Zhang En then entered his Golden God Pagoda and sat cross-legged inside and began to absorb the stone
Almost instantly, the god energy within the stone was greedily devoured by the diagram of the Dragon Protective Technique within his body.
While he absorbed the god energy on the otu stone, the Buddha Crystal also continuously released pure Buddhist energy and blood essence into his body as well.
After one night of cultivating, when morning arrived, Zhang En walked out of his Golden God Pagoda with a clear feeling that his strength had been increased in great numbers.
As she stepped out of her room, she was dragged by Lie Hue to go shopping. Being powerless to resist, he could only accompany Lie Hie around the city.
Accompanying Lie Hue, the two of them spent the entire day inside the city, and returned to Chen Ye's residence when it was almost dark.
