"Master Ruo, what happened?"
The woman known as Xuan Su was first startled when she saw the usually calm old man lose his composure before she immediately asked.
"That's actually him ..."
Grandmaster Ruo's eyes were full of astonishment as he stared at the figure. It was as if a raging tsunami had hit the ground known as his heart. He had recognized this person; the person who had carelessly bought Elixir turned out to be the youngster he had first met in Yan city and to whom he had given the first three parts of "The Spiritual Movement Chapter".
At the time he had first seen Lin Dong, the latter was only at his Worldly Yuan Stage and his Mental Energy, as well, at the most basic level. Due to the fact that Grandmaster Ruo valued the talent of Mental Energy, he had taken the initiative to give the first three parts of the "Spiritual Movement Club" to Lin Dong. However, Grandmaster Ruo had never expected that the young man who was unable to even sense Mental Energy when they first met had now grown to such a level.
At the time of the brief investigation from before, Grandmaster Ruo's Mental Energy had interacted with Lin Dong's Mental Energy. In that case, the former could clearly sense how powerful the latter's Mental Energy was. It is very likely that the latter has opened his own Niwan Palace!
Based on Master Ruo's current strength, opening one's Niwan Palace, or even the 1st or 2nd Seal Symbol Master would not astonish him. However, Lin Dong was different. Just a few months before, he was someone who had no inkling of what Mental Energy was, yet within a few months, this novice had turned into a true Symbol Master. This insane rate of progress even caused a famous person like Grandmaster Ruo to be shocked. After all, even he needed several years to finally cross over to the stage that Lin Dong had taken less than a tenth of that time to reach!
His talent is out of the world.
"Master Ruo knows this guy?" On one hand, a beautiful, yet somewhat indifferent woman dressed in green asked in a surprised tone. Like other women, this was the first time he had seen this old man lose his composure.
"Mm, I know ..." At that moment, Grandmaster Ruo slowly regained his composure as he stared at the figure in the auction area with a strange glint in his eyes and softly said: "Right now he should be a true blue Symbol Master.”
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, the lady in green slightly raised her eyebrows before she immediately lost her initial interest. Although there were not many ordinary Symbol Masters in the Thousand Gold Association, there were still quite a number of them. Therefore, such a revelation is really not very important. Furthermore, even though this person looked talented, it seemed like he had just opened his Niwan Palace, someone who could not even be considered as the First Seal Symbol Master. In fact, he would probably not be able to defeat even a Heavenly Yuan Early Stage expert.
"Haha, Mister Ruo, is there anything special about this Symbol Lord?" The red-clothed Xuan Su gently smiled as he asked. He was clearly a very insightful individual because he knew that an ordinary Symbol Master was unlikely to cause Grandmaster Ruo to lose himself to such an extent.
“An ordinary Symbol Master does not need to be admired. However, just a few months ago, that brat did not even know what a Symbol Master was ... "Master Ruo smiled indifferently as he said.
"He only trained his Mental Energy for a few months ..."
When they heard these words, Xuan Su and the lady in green clothes understood. They were quite knowledgeable about the Symbol Master, yet they had never heard of anyone successfully progressing from a beginner to a true Symbol Master in such a short amount of time.
"When I first met this guy at Mysterious Object Mall, I wanted him to be my student, and yet, I was rejected." Grandmaster Ruo laughed. He was rarely rejected, therefore when he mentioned this fact, his expression turned a little sour.
Of course, other than her expression, even Xuan Su and the lady in green were shocked. In Yan City, countless Symbol Masters desperately wanted to become the discipline of Grandmaster Ruo. But this man dared to refuse. People wondered if he had an incredible background or if he was just a fool…
“When he left, I gave him the first three parts of “Spiritual” Movement Club. Judging from his talent, I originally thought that he would probably need at least a year before he could open his Niwan Palace. However, at this moment, it seemed like he had already reached that step.” Grandmaster Ruo said somewhat regretfully.
"Based on Mr. Ruo's words, it looks like this fellow is a pretty good seedling." Xuan Su was full of interest as he spoke. He is a person who prefers to consider a long-term perspective when dealing with problems. If the person below was as talented as Grandmaster Ruo claimed to be, he would become a legendary figure in the future. If they could tie such a figure into their Thousand Gold Association, he would probably be a great help.
"Who knows? There are so many talented people in this world. It is not easy for them to reach their full potential. Aunt Su, don't tell me you plan on recruiting her?” The woman in green clothes pursed her white lips, openly showing a hint of hubris.
“Girl, you are too arrogant and arrogant. Don't look down on others too quickly. If you keep thinking like that, you will eventually lose. ” Xuan Su rolled his eyes towards the lady in green before he gently flicked the latter's forehead with his slender fingers as he said in a resigned manner.
"Haha, Xuan Su, regarding the fight over the Heavenly Pond, is our Thousand Gold Association still lacking members?" Grandmaster Ruo stared at the auction area in front of him as he suddenly chuckled and said.
“Yes, we still lack members. Originally, we planned to give that position to Song Qing. However, that girl Zhilan would rather be beaten to death than cooperate with that person. ” Xuan Su replied while nodding his head. Immediately, a glint flashed across his eyes as he asked: "Grandmaster Ruo intends to let that fellow take a position?"
“Aunt Xu, the battle for the Heavenly Pond is very important. You can't choose anyone who will eventually drag us down! Moreover, that person had just opened his Niwan Palace, so his strength was limited.” When he heard these words, the lady in green clothes hurriedly interrupted.
"Then, should we let Song Qing be your partner?" Xuan Su had a small smile on his lips as he said.
"No way! I'd rather go alone than partner with that bastard! ” When she heard the name Song Qing, the green-clothed woman, called Zhilan, immediately frowned as an unblurred disgust appeared in her eyes.
“Because Grandmaster Ruo said so, let's invite this man to have a chat? If he is willing to represent our Thousand Gold Association for this battle of the Celestial Pool, we will definitely reward him profusely.” Xuan Su slightly smiled and suggested as he gently pulled the sulking Zhilan over,
"Agreed." Grandmaster Ruo stroked his beard while nodding lightly.
…
Inside the auction area, Lin Dong felt a little uncomfortable ever since he realized that his appearance had been scanned by that thread of Mental Energy. After lingering in the auction area and he did not find any items of interest to him, he immediately got up and walked towards the exit of the auction area.
However, just as Lin Dong was about to leave the auction area, an arm suddenly stretched out from one side as a slightly thin looking middle-aged man approached him with a smile: the manager has invited you.”
As he looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him, Lin Dong slightly furrowed his brows. He quietly scanned his surroundings and realized that a dozen other men were slowly approaching. These people had powerful auras and their footsteps were extremely steady. Evidently, they were all rather skilled.
"Lead."
Lin Dong's gaze slightly flashed before he calmly nodded. Based on this reception, it seemed like the person who wanted to meet him was quite reputable. These elite guards were much stronger than the members of the Blood Cloth Sect. Furthermore, after that Mental Energy thread investigated him earlier, he vaguely guessed who he was going to meet.
When he saw that Lin Dong did not refuse, the smile on the middle-aged man's face turned even more amiable. Immediately, he quickly turned around and led Lin Dong.
Lin Dong followed behind as they passed through the corridor before finally entering the lavishly decorated room. Immediately, as he had expected, the smiling face of a gray-robed old man appeared before his eyes.
"Haha, my friend, we meet again ..." When he saw Lin Dong entering the room, Grandmaster Ruo slightly smiled as he said.
“It looks like I got caught in the end.”
After hearing what was said, Lin Dong subconsciously could not help but laugh bitterly. He removed the straw hat from his head and faced the old man while clenching his hands together: "Lin Dong respectfully greeted the grandmaster!"
“Hehe, this boy is indeed an incredible young man. At this age, he was already a Symbol Master. Looks like he has a bright future.” Inside the room, a woman dressed in red curiously sized up Lin Dong before she slickly smiled and commented.
Beside him, Zhilan glanced at Lin Dong before she withdrew her gaze with a hint of laziness.
“May I ask why these three esteemed people call a young boy like me?” Lin Dong knew that these three people before him had an important status in Yan City. So, without further ado, he directly asked them.
"Lin Dong my friend, you should have mastered the first three parts of the 'Spiritual Movement Club' that I gave you right?" Grandmaster Ruo smiled as he asked.
"Indeed."
Lin Dong humbly scratched his head and nodded. He had fully mastered the first three parts of the "Chapter of the Spiritual Movement" a few months ago ...
“This person is the manager of the Thousand Gold Auction House. You can call him Manager Su. He was the one in charge of the entire auction house. This other woman was very important to the president of the Thousand Gold Association, Xia Zhilan. ” Master Ruo introduced the other two to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong lightly nodded his head. However, he did not lose his calm. First, he already suspected that both of them had prominent backgrounds. Second, they don't have much to do with it. So after he glanced at them, he turned to look at Grandmaster Ruo. After all, he knew that these people did not approach him for no reason.
Against Lin Dong's unperturbed expression, Xuan Su did not mind too much and only laughed sweetly in response. While the eyebrows of the woman in green clothes were slightly fused together.
“The reason we invited you is because we have a request.”
After Grandmaster Ruo finished with his bases, he returned to the main topic. He looked towards Lin Dong, smiling as he said: "My friend, right now, you should have opened your Niwan Palace right? If you agree to help us, I can assist you in abbreviating the Symbol of Destiny.
When he heard these words, Lin Dong's facial expression turned a little strange. After he considered how to reply for a while, he softly said: “Grandmaster Ruo, although I don't know what exactly your request is. However, .. with regards to the Fate Symbol, I have already condensed it ... "
Inside the room, the youngster's voice gently echoed as the smiles on Grandmaster Ruo's faces, Xuan Su and Zhilan immediately stiffened…
