Chapter 621 Cao Youqian: I Didn’t Expect to Encounter a Heavenly Chosen Here
“What, are you unwilling?”
Seeing that the young man had not answered his question for a long time, Cao Youqian asked again.
“In reply to Lord, it is not that this humble one is unwilling, but that this humble one’s meridians are completely severed and unable to cultivate. Therefore, I dare not bow beneath Lord’s door, fearing I will cause Lord to lose face.”
After speaking, Xiakang lowered his head even lower, not daring to look at the Lord before him even once more.
Cao Youqian swept his spiritual consciousness over the young man’s body; this young man indeed was not lying. Fortunately, this young man’s Dantian was not damaged.
He only needed to use a bit of spiritual power to repair the meridians throughout his body.
He smiled and said, “I thought it was some major matter. Severed meridians are nothing in my eyes. However, I am merely curious; with such talent as yours, how did you fall to such a state?”
“I will not hide it from Lord. This humble one once committed a wrong deed, and thus the elders of the clan crippled my cultivation…”
Xiakang recounted his experience in full detail.
It was a cliché story. To help his fiancée undergo a transformation, Xiakang stole the clan’s treasure medicine. As a result, his fiancée turned around and gave that treasure medicine to the Heavenly Chosen of their opposing tribe.
After the clan discovered this matter, they executed the tribe’s laws and crippled his cultivation. If Xiakang had not been the Chief’s grandson, he would not have even had this opportunity for forgiveness.
“Good, good!”
After hearing Xiakang’s story, Cao Youqian called out in praise repeatedly. This kid completely met the requirements of their Miscellaneous Dao Academy for recruiting disciples.
Xiakang was bewildered by these two “goods.” He looked at the Lord before him with a stunned expression. He racked his brains but could not figure out why this Lord would say “good.”
Cao Youqian patted Xiakang on the shoulder and asked, “Answer me. Do you want revenge? Do you want to take back everything that originally belonged to you?”
“Yes.”
Xiakang answered without hesitation.
“Look directly into my eyes; let me see your determination.”
Cao Youqian raised his voice, and his tone carried a hint of majesty.
Various scenes he had experienced in the past surfaced in Xiakang’s mind. He then gritted his teeth, slowly raised his head, and shouted a word with a firm gaze: “Yes.”
Cao Youqian smiled and said, “Then what are you waiting for? Why haven’t you bowed to become a disciple yet? As for your tribe, I will naturally protect it.”
“Disciple Xiakang pays respects to Master.”
After speaking, Xiakang knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Cao Youqian.
Cao Youqian helped Xiakang up and smiled, saying, “From today onwards, you are my disciple and also the Grand Senior Brother of my Tyrant Fist Sacred Ground. Now, as your master, I will first repair the meridians in your body.”
As his words fell, he injected a trace of spiritual power into Xiakang’s body. Wherever his spiritual power reached, Xiakang’s meridians were completely repaired.
Sensing the changes within his body, Xiakang widened his eyes, and a look of excitement appeared on his face. He shouted in his heart: I am recovering! I can finally regain my past glory!
A moment later, Cao Youqian released his hand and said indifferently, “Go accompany your Martial Uncle to recruit disciples now. Bring them here to see me tomorrow morning.”
“As commanded.”
After saying this, Xiakang turned and left.
Cao Youqian watched the young man’s retreating figure, the corner of his mouth slightly raised. He thought to himself: Kid, I wonder what kind of surprise you can bring me?
Subsequently, Cao Youqian leaped into the Demon Lake once again to begin his daily cultivation.
On the other side, Lei Qilin was recruiting disciples in an orderly manner. By the time Xiakang came out, it had already recruited three disciples: one human, one ape, and one tiger.
“Martial Uncle.”
Xiakang performed a ritual salute toward Lei Qilin with great respect.
Lei Qilin smiled and said, “Kid, you’ve joined Brother Qian’s sect?”
“Yes, thank you, Martial Uncle, for the recommendation.”
Xiakang was still very grateful to this Martial Uncle in his heart. If not for this Martial Uncle’s guidance, he would likely not have been able to see his Master, let alone repair the injuries on his body.
Lei Qilin asked, “What did Brother Qian ask you to do?”
Xiakang replied respectfully, “Master asked me to assist Martial Uncle in recruiting disciples.”
Upon hearing these words, Lei Qilin silently gave a thumbs up to Brother Qian in his heart. Brother Qian understood him best and knew he disliked doing these things.
“Fine. Leave the following matters to you. With this Great King sitting here, nothing major can go wrong. As for your Master’s rules for recruiting disciples, they are as follows…”
After listening, Xiakang cupped his hands and said, “Disciple knows what to do.”
He was the eldest grandson of the tribe to begin with and would usually follow his father in handling some tribal matters. Recruiting disciples was not difficult for him.
By noon, Xiakang had tested all the members of the Hundred Races who had come. Aside from him, only three humans and three demons had passed the Master’s assessment.
He looked at the three humans and three demons before him and said, “You will enter the mountain with me. We will pay respects to the Master tomorrow morning.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the three humans and three demons revealed looks of joy. However, the demons and humans who had not passed the test began to panic. They opened their mouths one after another: “Young friend, could you say a word to that Lord? We are sincerely submitting to that Lord. We hope that Lord can give us a chance.”
Xiakang naturally knew the intentions of these fellows. Their Xia Tribe had the same idea. He then said, “Then you shall wait outside the Five Elements Mountain. After I finish paying respects to my Master tomorrow, I will give you a reply.”
Upon hearing this, the group of demons and humans revealed looks of gratitude and began to thank him.
“Good, sorry to trouble you, young friend. If there is anything you need from us in the future, just give the order.”
“That’s right, we are willing to go through fire and water and die ten thousand times without hesitation.”
“…”
Seeing this scene, Lei Qilin admired Cao Youqian even more in his heart. As expected of Brother Qian; just one pearl could test out a remarkable little fellow.
Early the next morning, Lei Qilin and Xiakang led three demons and three people toward the side of the Demon Lake. Before they even got close, Lei Qilin sensed a terrifying demonic might gradually dissipating. It immediately said, “Stop.”
Xiakang did not know why his Martial Uncle wanted his group to stop, so he asked suspiciously, “Martial Uncle, is something wrong ahead?”
“Your Master has not finished cultivating yet. Let us wait for a while.”
Lei Qilin knew what Cao Youqian used to cultivate. It was not that he was afraid of being seen, but rather that he was afraid these little fellows would be tainted by that terrifying demonic energy. Brother Qian could dispel it, but that did not mean they could.
An hour later, Lei Qilin sensed that the demonic might had completely dissipated. Only then did it speak, “Let’s go. Your Master is ready.”
Xiakang’s group followed behind Lei Qilin and continued advancing. A moment later, they saw Cao Youqian sitting by the lake in cultivation.
The three newly arrived humans and three demons looked at the terrifying aura emanating from Cao Youqian, and their legs could not help but tremble. They almost fell to their knees.
Sensing someone approaching, Cao Youqian slowly opened his eyes and said, “You have arrived.”
