2755: C2755 Old Man Chen

C2755 Old Man Chen

After Jiang Ting had received the news from Liu Zhen, he hadn't thought of any good countermeasures for a month. Perhaps it was because of the Heaven's Will that no one had leaked the news, but the news about Old Man Chen's arrival had spread like wildfire on the Wind Lightning Island.

Because of this, the city of the Wind Lightning Island had become unprecedentedly lively. Countless islands around the island had sent alchemists to escort them to the Wind Lightning Island in an attempt to gain Old Man Chen's attention.

Within the city, in a tavern on the south side of the city, in a private room on the third floor.

"Gululu..." Jiang Ting drank all the wine in one of the wine glasses.

Mu Bai leaned against the window fence and advised, "Brother Jiang, why have you been so agitated recently? With your skill in alchemy, no one can surpass the young elites in this area. The chief is within reach, so why worry?"

"I'm not worried about that." Jiang Ting shook his head and sat on a chair. He looked at the sky and felt a slight headache.

He was having a headache. It was impossible for the Heaven's Will to make him acknowledge an ant as his master, right?

If that person could really teach him anything, then he would accept it. However, the problem was that regardless of whether it was cultivation, alchemy, or anything else, Old Man Chen did not have the qualifications to teach him anything.

Ding... Ding... ... Ding... " A beautiful sound suddenly echoed in the sky above Wind Lightning Island.

"Hmm?" Mu Bai instantly stuck his head out of the window and looked in all directions with a bit of surprise.

At the same time, countless people in the city looked in all directions with surprise and bewilderment. Clearly, they were looking for the direction of the sound.

"What a show." Jiang Ting suddenly stood up and squinted his eyes.

He could sense an extremely vast and terrifying Qi descending from the sky. With his current strength, if that Qi was fully unleashed, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

However, one had to know that in the nearby sea region, the Wind Lightning Island was the highest, and the strongest person on the Wind Lightning Island was the island master, Liu Zhen... The one who could display such a majestic aura could not be Liu Zhen.

Then... it was that old man Chen who was rumored to be arriving soon?

That pleasant voice was still reverberating in the air.

About ten breaths later.

A white-haired, sage-like, and hale old man suddenly appeared ten thousand feet above the Wind Lightning Island.

He did not reveal much of his aura, but the moment he appeared, everyone instantly sensed his presence. It wasn't that the perception of the people from the Wind Lightning Island was very strong. It was the old man who did it on purpose.

As for the old man's cultivation, no one could clearly sense it.

On the contrary, the old man had intentionally revealed a mysterious aura that did not pose any threat. Anyone on the Wind Lightning Island would be able to see his existence.

Showing off his might?

That was not the case.

After the old man appeared, he lowered his head and looked at the Wind Lightning Island.

After looking at it for a long time, he said, "Old Man Chen, I believe you all know the purpose of this trip. ... In three months, this old man will set up three tests on the Wind Lightning Island. Those who take the lead will obtain this old man's inheritance."

His voice was not loud. However, under the control of Old Man Chen, his voice spread throughout the entire Wind Lightning Island and every inch of land. Even a deaf person would be able to hear it clearly because of that power.

After his words disappeared, Old Man Chen's body flashed and disappeared without a trace.

In the wine shop, in a private room on the third floor.

"Three months..." Jiang Ting walked to the window and looked at the shocked crowd on the street. His expression darkened.

He seemed to have no way of stopping Xiahou Ning by suppressing him!

After a long time, Mu Bai finally came back to his senses and sighed softly. "The Ascension Realm... that is a true supreme expert of the Sky-sea Realm. If he can become his disciple, who in the vast Sky-sea Realm would dare to offend him?"

Jiang Ting narrowed his eyes and said, "What I am more interested in is that a month ago, he did not come to the Wind Lightning Island. In the end, the news of him accepting a disciple has caused a huge commotion."

"Is there a problem with that?" Mu Bai was puzzled.

When Jiang Ting heard this, he pondered for a while before turning his head. "Who spread this news? I don't believe it. He spread the news on the island a month in advance and then appeared a month later. ... If the island master has a special channel, how would others know?"

This... "Mu Bai's expression was slightly stunned, and his mind became confused.

Obviously, he was puzzled as well.

Jiang Ting did not have any thoughts of delving into the matter... Under the influence of the Heaven's Will, anything could happen. At the very least, he was certain that Old Man Chen's idea of taking in a disciple was not fake.

As for him, if he didn't acknowledge him as his master, how would he suppress this opportunity?

Could it be that he really wanted to expel Xia Houning... Old Man Chen had appeared, and if he were to expel him, he felt that something unexpected might happen. Something that he could not stop.

"This is troublesome..." While sighing, Jiang Ting lay on the edge of the fence, closing his eyes to take a nap.

...

Not far from Jiu Sa, in an inn.

Xiahou Ning was resting in a guest room in the inn. A month ago, after Chu Yue appeared, he knew that Jiang Ting had his eyes on him again.

He had thought of leaving. However, he was always a little unwilling. He felt that if he left, he would miss some great opportunity, so he went into the inn and started to cultivate.

After all, apart from cultivating, he had nothing else to do... To be simple and crude, Chu Yue and the others from the island lord's manor followed him. He would not be able to find any loopholes.

In the end, he didn't expect that Old Man Chen would actually come.

Furthermore, he wanted to take in a disciple. ... Old Man Chen was an Alchemy Dao paramount powerhouse. He knew how to refine pills too!

In the past, he had been taught by his discarnate soul masters, but after his discarnate soul was killed by Jiang Ting, no one taught him how to concoct pills anymore. If he could take Old Man Chen as his disciple this time...

"Jiang Ting... Your strength is indeed monstrous. However, wanting to acknowledge Old Man Chen as your disciple isn't a test of strength. I refuse to believe that you can surpass me in pill refinement!" Xiahou Ning secretly became ruthless in his heart.

"Creak..." The door to the inn suddenly opened, and a woman quietly entered.

Xiahou Ning's body had just tightened and he instantly relaxed. "Xiaolan."

At the end of his words, Xiahou stood up again. "How could you be sure that the Dust Old Man would come here to take in disciples?"

He had also heard the news that the Dust Elder would come to take in disciples a long time ago. However, he did not believe it very much. Previously, Ice Blue was extremely certain that it was because of Ice Blue's obstruction and intuition that he knew that Jiang Ting was still in the city despite the fact that he was on the Wind Lightning Island.

However, Ice Blue did not explain. Instead, she revealed a pretty smile. "Do you have confidence?"

"This..."

After hesitating for a while, Xiahou Ning revealed a hint of toughness. "If I were to limit my age, I would have the confidence to surpass everyone else... but if there were no restrictions on those who participated in the test, I'm afraid that it would be impossible for me to take the first place. After all, I heard that almost all the alchemists in the vicinity have come."

Bing Lan was unconcerned. "Tsk, how could those old men have the nerve to participate? Furthermore, even if they want to participate, they won't have the chance."

Xiahou Ning looked puzzled. "How can you be so sure?"

"This..." Bing Lan revealed a look of hesitation.

"Cough cough..." A rather aged cough sounded.

Ice Blue's body stiffened.0

Xiahou Ning raised his head and looked over. His pupils instantly shrank. An old man with a transcendent aura appeared in front of the room.

And that old man... who else could it be other than the old man who had disappeared into the sky earlier?!
