Chapter 2863: Chapter 34: Taoist Master Taichu Arrives at Guiyuan Other Courtyard

...

”Brat, this seat is a Taoist Master!” Taoist Master Taichu was so angry he was practically shaking, glaring fiercely at Wang Baoguang.

”So what if you’re a Taoist Master?” Wang Baoguang looked completely unconcerned. ”Being Taoist Master means you can bully people into buying and selling? How much I sell my stuff for is naturally up to me.”

He had long since done his evaluation. A price of twenty Chaos Spirit Stones was indeed a huge sum for a Sacred Supreme, but given Taoist Master Taichu’s wealth, this amount of Chaos Spirit Stones wasn’t enough to hurt him.

As he spoke, he glanced at Taoist Master Taichu again and hinted, ”Besides, I’m not your Disciple. Your inheritance and that huge Dao Palace won’t be given to me anyway... of course, if you were to take me as a direct personal Disciple...”

”Alright, alright, twenty it is.” Taoist Master Taichu interrupted him with a face full of helplessness, then waved his hand and tossed twenty Chaos Spirit Stones into his arms. He also solemnly warned, ”Don’t squander the money. Buy fewer flashy, useless things. With your current situation, improving your strength and foundation is the proper path. In this world, strength reigns supreme; everything else is empty talk.”

He was willing to give these Chaos Spirit Stones, first because he was anxious to know the Truth, and second because he thought quite highly of Wang Baoguang’s future, with some intention of giving him a bit of support, hoping that in the future he could become a pillar of the Human race.

As for taking him as a direct personal Disciple... just thinking about it made his scalp go numb.

Given how things were now, Wang Baoguang was already about to overturn the heavens. If he really took him in as a direct Disciple and let him brandish the banner of ”Taoist Master’s personal Disciple,” how could that possibly end well?

”Hehe~ many thanks, Taoist Master. You really have great vision and magnanimity!” The moment he got the money, Wang Baoguang broke into a wide grin.

He deftly counted the number of Chaos Spirit Stones, quickly put them into his Storage Ring, then obsequiously took out the imaging device and Imaging Disk and handed them to Taoist Master Taichu. ”You take your time watching, if there’s anything you don’t understand I’ll explain anytime.”

In fact, the reason he dared to take it out at this time was because he had long since gotten tacit approval. The matter of Old Ancestor Grandma was something that had to be resolved sooner or later. And right now just happened to be the best time.

This money-grubbing mutt really could change faces fast~

Taoist Master Taichu snorted inwardly, then focused on the recording. But the more he watched, the more unfathomable his expression became.

If before he had only a few suspicions in his heart, then the scene before his eyes made his heart instantly start pounding.

In the recorded image, a woman was floating in midair. The mysterious projection of the Yuan Water Sacred Image hovered above her head, continuously blessing her with the Power of the Heavenly Dao Laws. The Yuan Water Sacred Sword in her hand stirred up terrifying Yuan Water sword light, and with every sweep it was as if the Yuan Water goddess herself had descended!

That figure gradually overlapped with the image he had held in his heart when he was young.

Senior Sister Linglan!

In an instant, Taoist Master Taichu seemed to return to his youthful, green years, just like back then, watching Senior Sister Linglan dominate the arena as she defeated one powerful enemy after another with heroic grace.

That was a figure he had looked up to ever since.

So this is Senior Sister’s reincarnation...

Taoist Master Taichu had lived for over a hundred thousand years. He had originally thought his heart had long become calm as still water. Other than the future of the Human race and the safety of his Disciples, nothing could move him anymore.

Yet at this moment his heart was trembling, his expression incomparably complicated, and in his aged eyes faint ripples of moisture appeared. He felt both pain that Senior Sister had died at some unknown time, and relief that she could be reincarnated within the known world, allowing him to see her again.

”Taoist Master, Taoist Master, are you alright?”

Seeing Taoist Master Taichu like this, Wang Baoguang was both puzzled and worried, unable to help calling out to him a few times.

He only knew that his Old Ancestor Grandma had once been a Dao Palace Disciple, but had absolutely no idea about the entanglements between the Taoist Master and his Old Ancestor Grandma, so naturally he couldn’t figure out why Taoist Master Taichu would have such a huge reaction.

In fact, never mind that Wang Baoguang didn’t know about these ”entanglements”; even his Senior Sister Ying Linglan herself hadn’t known about them.

”It’s nothing, it’s nothing, I just saw someone who seems to be an old acquaintance and felt a bit sentimental.” Taoist Master Taichu came back to his senses and looked at Wang Baoguang with a somewhat complicated gaze. ”You just said that was your Old Ancestor Grandma from your [Direct Line]?”

”Yeah, my branch might be a secondary direct line, but we’re still Old Ancestor Grandma’s direct lineage.” Wang Baoguang looked puzzled. ”Is there a problem?”

Is there a problem?

Heh heh~~

Taoist Master Taichu was laughing.

This damn problem was enormous!

He grabbed Wang Baoguang and started beating him mercilessly, scolding him as he hit, ”You little brat, so young and already up to no good. Instead of properly tempering your foundation, you spend all day on flashy nonsense...”

This beating left Wang Baoguang howling nonstop, starting to doubt his life!

What kind of stimulation had the Taoist Master suffered? How did he suddenly become so much less kind and amiable?

...

And while Wang Baoguang was being beaten by Taoist Master Taichu until he doubted life itself, the wool-harvesting plan in Zhenze Sword Palace was still continuing.

It had to be said, the treasures in Zhenze Sword Palace’s vault were really plentiful, but there were only two that had reached the Sacred Sword level.

According to the Artifact Spirit, there were actually a few other Sacred Artifacts in the Sword Palace, but they had been taken out back when they went to face the Crystal Ancient Tribe and were now scattered outside. After so many years, those Sacred Artifacts had probably already changed hands countless times. They would be extremely difficult to track down, and if they wanted to take them back, they could only search slowly.
