Chapter 388 Heaven Credi (2/2)

“I will give you three months. After three months, you must bring a Heaven Credit to me… and during this period, you will be allowed to keep the item you obtained.” Old Xuan elaborated.

Zhou Yuan was taken aback, as he stared suspiciously at old Xuan. Why was this old fellow being so kind towards him?

His eyes swivelled in thought, as he began to entertain a certain idea. He might be able to master the Taiyi Green Wood Mark within these three months. When that happened, there would be no need for him to bother with this old fellow.

“Little one, even though it seems like this old man has one foot in the grave, no one in the Cangxuan Sect, not even sect master Qing Yang, dares to reject me.”

It was as if old Xuan could read Zhou Yuan’s thoughts as he unhurriedly said, “If you are up to any monkey business, I can safely tell you that even if you do master it, I am confident that I can find a way to take it all away.”

Cold sweat instantly appeared all over Zhou Yuan’s body, slightly fearful as he looked at the old man again. Looks like he was also a ruthless person.

Old Xuan seemed to smile as he asked, “How about it?”

“If you are unsatisfied with my offer, you can return the item, and I will permit you to pick something else.”

There was naturally no way Zhou Yuan was going to do so. The fact that patriarch Cangxuan deliberately hid the Taiyi Green Wood Mark in such an obscure location indicated that it was definitely an extraordinary technique. Even though he did not know what grade it was, Zhou Yuan had a hunch that it was definitely extremely powerful.

His eyes flickered in thought. A long while later, he finally gritted his teeth.

“Deal, it’s just one Heaven Credit after all. In three months time, I will bring one to you!” Though he knew that it was going to be an extremely challenging task, Zhou Yuan had no choice but to go through with it for the sake of the Taiyi Green Wood Mark.

A smile seemed to appear on old Xuan’s wrinkly face when he heard this. He nodded and said, “At least you have some courage. Master’s items must not fall into the hands of an ordinary person, or it will taint his name.”

Zhou Yuan showed a cramped smile. Looks like one must not count one’s chickens before they hatched. He had been overjoyed moments earlier after getting his hands on the Taiyi Green Wood Mark, but in the blink of an eye, he now had to deal with some troublesome matters because of it.

Zhou Yuan grumpily asked, “May I leave now?”

He came here to pick a treasure. However, he ended up with such a huge problem instead.

Old Xuan paid no heed to Zhou Yuan’s grumpy expression, merely waving his hand to send the latter off, before lowering his head to continue sweeping the ground...

At the sight of this, Zhou Yuan turned around to leave.

His leaving face was filled with vexed worry, clearly fretting over how he would obtain a Heaven Credit in three months. After all, getting a Heaven task was already going to be a pain.

“Forget it. I’ll ignore it for now, and think about it after I learning the Taiyi Green Wood Mark!”

He gritted his teeth, and increased his pace as he quickly disappeared from the foot of the mountain.

As Zhou Yuan’s figure vanished, old Xuan stopped sweeping, and lifted his head, his murly eyes looking in the direction where Zhou Yuan had disappeared. A deep and unreadable light seemed to flash across his murky eyes.

“There’s slightly familiar on that little one’s body…”

“Is it because of you, master? How else could he have entered your training chambers?”

“Unfortunately, he is still too weak…”

“But at least his talent is pretty decent, though I will have to push him a little. After all, on the road of cultivation, one needs to fearlessly face any difficulty as one continuously tempers oneself...”

“I hope that he will not disappoint me.”
