Chapter 593: Winning Over
"They must want to recruit me." Bai Lang touched the curly beard on his chin and thought with great pride. With his current level as an inner scene grandmaster, any imperial court would invite him with great courtesy; he is much more sought after than an innate expert. This is much better than taking exams to become an official or being recommended for filial piety; the power and status he can obtain are completely different.
"Sure enough, martial artists are sought after. However, in this world, every pedant who can open a sect and has some ability has no lack of real skills; at the very least, they start as innate experts." Bai Lang also knows that those Confucian scholar grandmasters are equally skilled in martial arts.
The vast majority of inner scene grandmasters are heads of famous sects, elders or clan leaders of powerful families, and the like. It seems that this King of Dingyang before him is the clan leader of the Wang family, and the one he will see later is the head of the famous Moon Sect, and also a member of the Great Qin aristocratic family.
It seems that inner scene grandmasters like Bai Lang who have no clear affiliation and are still wandering the world are simply few and far between. Excluding those old-school grandmasters who are elusive like dragons, Bai Lang is the only one who has a clear whereabouts and no sense of being a grandmaster.
Then why not recruit him vigorously? Bai Lang was welcomed to the Prince's Mansion, and he saw another grandmaster—the inner scene grandmaster of the Moon Sect, and also the current head of the Moon Sect, Ye Jingtang. There is no doubt that this is an old woman. Don't look at her face, which seems to be less than thirty years old, and her beautiful appearance can be called a peerless beauty, but this woman has achieved the name of grandmaster for at least thirty years.
In terms of the age of an inner scene grandmaster, she is probably indeed a little girl, but to Bai Lang, she is undoubtedly an old woman of about a hundred years old. Bai Lang is a genius; his background has been investigated clearly by those who care. This person was originally a little beggar, taken into the Changle Gang by a guy everyone is too lazy to remember, and became a low-level gang member.
And the martial arts taught to low-level gang members were just common goods. However, this Bai Lang actually relied on these common goods to train himself into an innate expert and an inner scene grandmaster. By the time he became an innate expert, someone had already approached the Changle Gang and taken their "secret manuals" to study carefully. However, after studying them over and over, these things were still ordinary martial arts, and no matter how one practiced, one could not train into an innate expert.
This can only be said that Bai Lang's talent is extraordinary? Does he have other creations? Some people know what is going on, but they don't say it. And Bai Lang knows that only three of his companions in the Adventure Hall are still alive. Unfortunately, he cannot step into the Adventure Hall again, so he doesn't know what to do.
It's all because his master smashed the Adventure Hall. Now that people have rebuilt it, of course they have to refuse this person from joining—otherwise, would they want to be smashed again? And now Bai Lang is already an inner scene grandmaster; the price to pull him in is not small. This is not an inner scene cultivated by the Adventure Hall.
Thinking about this and that in his mind, and still holding a somewhat disrespectful thought towards the old woman in front of him, Bai Lang performed very well on the surface, not stopping his "long admired" remarks, yielding three points in his actions, and after taking his seat, he praised the two grandmasters in front of him without stopping.
He himself is also a grandmaster, and such shameless words made the other party very happy—it shows that Bai Lang does not yet have a correct understanding of his own status, which is just right for recruiting him. So they redoubled their efforts to win over Bai Lang, and all kinds of praise about him being young and promising were thrown out without money—it was just that when mentioning this, Ye Jingtang was a little unnatural.
Because Bai Lang is a true "genius," it took him less than twenty years from practicing martial arts to achieving the inner scene. This speed can be called unprecedented and probably will be unrepeatable. Bai Lang's performance in this regard is absolutely outstanding and unprecedented. In the future, he might be able to enter the cave-heaven directly—he has plenty of time to try again and again. Even if Bai Lang makes no further progress later, at least he will have five or six hundred years of time to suppress one side.
The dancing women also appeared, and delicious food and wine were sent up like flowing water. Everyone talked and laughed, and they were very happy discussing martial arts insights. The martial arts concepts are different. These two actually follow the path of internal force and true Qi, while Bai Lang follows the path of external training and internal strengthening for low-level martial artists. However, all roads lead to the same destination, and at the highest level, they are similar. Bai Lang's path is harder to cultivate than those people's, but relatively speaking, it is easier to stand out.
"Actually, it's just screened from the beginning." When the two praised his cultivation path, Bai Lang pointed out the situation with a bitter smile, "People who are born with strong muscles and bones or have special characteristics are very few. It is naturally not difficult to walk after reaching the entrance—the real entrance—but it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to enter this door."
Speaking of this, the King of Dingyang took the opportunity to extend an invitation, offering the position of Duke, ranking among the three dukes of the imperial court, with a fief of ten thousand households, and even being able to form his own force—that is, opening a sect. At the same time, since Bai Lang is alone and not old, he is willing to marry the direct princess of the Qin Emperor to him.
Bai Lang stroked his beard and listened to all this. "I suppose you don't know our aspirations yet. I just want to travel the world, and I have no intention of joining an imperial court for the time being." After listening for a while, he could roughly understand what kind of status an inner scene grandmaster had. Seeing this, the other party immediately retreated to the next best thing, hoping that Bai Lang would hold a nominal position in the Qin State, and it is estimated that they will send more things later to show friendliness.
In short, falling out with an inner scene grandmaster is the worst choice—two people may not be able to surround and kill Bai Lang, and once that happens, it is a tearing of faces. Besides, Bai Lang had no grievances with the Qin State before, so what is the necessity to push such an expert to the opposite side?
Bai Lang was once the Weiwei of the Yan State, but so what if he was? Even if he was a Great General of the Yan State, it is more cost-effective to befriend him when he comes to the Qin State alone—it's not like there is a deep hatred. If an inner scene grandmaster wants to cause trouble, I'm afraid he could turn the sky of the Great Qin upside down. Even if Xianyang doesn't have an accident, other places can easily be destroyed in the aftermath of attacks and fights.
The battle between inner scene grandmasters is a natural disaster.
An inner scene grandmaster like Bai Lang who has no affiliation and is not from a demonic sect is loved by everyone, so in the end, the King of Dingyang made the final decision to rely on his seniority and let Bai Lang hold a nominal title, but he sent him many things. In the Great Yan, Bai Lang is the Heavenly Hero Star, and in the Great Qin, he was directly listed on the Heavenly Ranking and listed as the White Tiger Star Lord.
His martial arts are now known to everyone. Whistling mad wind and body turning into a white tiger, among the tiger forms of the form-boxing, I am afraid there is no one in the world more profound than him—for being able to cultivate the lower-level form-boxing to the level of the inner scene, everyone also feels that he is truly a genius.
You know, even the demon king like the Whistling Wind Demon King of the demon clan, a black tiger who cultivated into an inner scene grandmaster, seems to be on par with Bai Lang in terms of this "tiger form" alone?
