Chapter 203: Acknowledging a Teacher to Gain Treasures (1/2)

“You are really from Limitless Palace?” Cheng Yu verified once again. After all, this was too coincidental. Cheng Yu was baffled.

“Of course. I believe no one would dare to use the reputation of Limitless Palace and run everywhere!” Qing Xuzi said positively.

“This is hard to say. In any case, Limitless Palace people hardly appear in public. Even if someone acted as them, they might not necessarily know,” Cheng Yu curled his lips and said disapprovingly. He was a very good example. Even though the Secular World was very far from the Cultivation World, he had been using the Limitless Palace’s name to solve a lot of his problems.

“Nevertheless, I am truly from Limitless Palace. Kid, are you willing to acknowledge me as your teacher?” Qing Xuzi did not care as much as Cheng Yu.

“Since you are from Limitless Palace, I can consider it. However, you still didn’t tell me what your status is in Limitless Palace? After all, once I acknowledge you as my master, I could be counted as Limitless Palace’s disciple. If your status in Limitless Palace is too low, wouldn’t I be even lower? When the time comes, any people I see from the Limitless Palace would be my Martial Uncle or Martial Ancestor. Then it would be so embarrassing for me,” Generally speaking, Cheng Yu did not wish to join any sect because he did not wish to be restrained.

But judging from Cheng Yu’s current circumstances, having a formidable sect as his backing was the best choice for him. Besides, coincidentally, he had truly attained some relations with the Limitless Palace and this was undoubtedly a good thing for Cheng Yu. It could also be counted as turning his fake news into real news. In the future, even if he were to use the banner of Limitless Palace, there was nothing wrong.

“You…fine. I am Limitless Palace’s Blacksmithing Hall Great Elder. This should not be giving you any injustice, right?” Qing Xuzi heard Cheng Yu’s words, and he immediately grew angry. After much difficulty did he finally manage to spot a disciple he liked and yet, the kid had actually kept on being so picky, so much so that he even showed hints of rejection if his status was too low. He was an aloof figure in Limitless Palace, so since when had he ever been looked down upon by others? If it was not because Cheng Yu was a talent, Qing Xuzi really wished to kill him with a slap.

“Blacksmithing Hall Elder? En. Since you are an elder, your status is certainly not low. Since it’s like that, I will accept you reluctantly! However, I have to say first, even though I have acknowledged you as my teacher, I will not stay in Limitless Palace. I hope that I can have control of my own time,” It turned out that the old man was actually an elder. Cheng Yu was delighted, but he did not show it and continued to voice his terms. This term may seem very ordinary, but to Cheng Yu, it was extremely important. He would only be staying here for a few months and he would have to leave, after all at home, there were still several wives waiting for him. Naturally, he couldn’t possibly keep on staying in Limitless Palace to cultivate.

“I can agree. However, with your current cultivation, it is too dangerous for you to travel around. Why not follow me back first, and wait until you have at least formed your golden core before coming out for training?” Qing Xuzi did not know about Cheng Yu’s thoughts. To him, Cheng Yu’s life was most important. After all, it was hard for him to actually find a disciple that he was fond of. He did not wish that Cheng Yu died before he had fully inherited his skills. This would truly be a pity.

“I have already reached the bottleneck. To cultivate normally in hopes of forming my golden core might take a very long time. Therefore, travelling around to gain inspiration is the best cultivation for me right now. Besides, you have also said that there are going to be a lot Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators there for training. With my current cultivation, I can said to be unrivalled to those cultivators below Golden Core Realm,” Cheng Yu said with haughtiness.

“Good! Worthy to be my disciple. Since you are so persistent about this, I will no longer advise you. This is a low-grade blacksmithing technique and some of my comphrensions about blacksmithing. I am giving them to you. I hope that you will be able to study and comprehend something from it,” When the old man saw the confidence Cheng Yu had, he was very happy as he took out two jade bamboos and gave them to Cheng Yu.

“Teacher, please accept a bow from disciple!” Cheng Yu saw that the old man was unexpectedly so generous, and he had yet to acknowledge him as his teacher and he had already given Cheng Yu something so valuable easily. Cheng Yu no longer hesitated and immediately kneeled down on the spot and kowtowed three times.

“Good! Good! It was unexpectedly that this old man had been infatuated with cultivating in blacksmithing my whole life and yet the moment I step out to travel around the world, I would actually meet such an interesting kid, so much that I accepted you as my one and only disciple. I am truly very happy,” When the old man saw Cheng Yu had finally kowtowed to acknowledge him as his teacher, the old man said happily.

“Heh! Old man, you really have me as your only disciple?” Cheng Yu stood up and giggled. Pa! The old man rolled his eyes and slapped Cheng Yu’s head as he said, ”What old man, old man? I am now your teacher. Be respectful.”

“Heh heh! Calling you this way makes us seem more intimate. Calling you teacher makes us seem like strangers,” Cheng Yu rubbed his head and said objectively.

“Fine. I am also not someone who would pay attention to formality. Or else, I also wouldn’t have accepted you as my disciple. I have always been enthralled in promoting my cultivation. Furthermore, there was not a single person who I ever thought highly of. Therefore, after so many years, I still have not accepted anyone as my disciple,” The old man might not have taken fancy of any disciple, but there were still a lot of people who wished to acknowledge him as their master. Unfortunately, there were none he liked.

Nevertheless, the old man possessed a top-notch cultivation and his status in Limitless Palace, Blacksmithing Hall Great Elder, was essentially the highest authority in the Blacksmithing Hall. To acknowledge this person as his teacher, not only had Cheng Yu’s status increased, he would no longer have any lack of armaments. Just these points alone would make others envy Cheng Yu to death. This was also why people would bootlick the Great Elder.

“So it’s like that. Heh heh! Old man, since I am your only disciple, you also don’t hope for me to not be able to return, right? How about giving me your Spiritual Tool? It can also help me preserve my life longer!” When Cheng Yu saw how highly the old man thought of him, he once again started having ideas of that Spiritual Tool.
