Chapter 60: Zhou Lao

Zhou Lao also discerned the content recorded on it through his scattered soul force.

But as he read on, the ease on Zhou Lao's face vanished at a visible pace, replaced by grave seriousness.

This is truly a technique bestowed by a Purple Mansion realm clan leader upon his own clan leader?!

As a Heaven Person realm cultivator, he naturally recognized the subtleties of this Pure Yang technique.

Though only Earth-grade Supreme rank, once perfected, its power rivals that of a Heaven-grade Low-rank technique!

And the meridian circulation it described was so profound that even after studying it, he could find not a single flaw—only the word "perfect" could explain it!

He had never seen such a flawless Earth-grade technique; it was the ultimate technique most suitable for low-rank cultivators!

If such a technique appeared in the place where he once resided, wouldn't even holy sects and imperial dynasties fight over it?

Yet how could such a miraculous technique appear in such a remote place?

Zhou Lao felt utterly baffled; his pupils slowly filled with suspicion as he stared at his own disciple, suddenly feeling the illusion that this boy was hiding something: "Are you certain your clan leader is merely a Purple Mansion realm cultivator? Or is the strongest member of your clan not the leader, but someone else? Or perhaps are there other strong cultivators near you?"

Faced with Zhou Lao's barrage of questions, Jiang Yan felt utterly confused.

But remembering he had already become a disciple, he replied honestly: "The strongest member of our Jiang clan is naturally our clan leader. It's said our Wudan City's mayor is also a Purple Mansion realm cultivator, and the strongest sect nearby, Qianshan Sect, is led by a Sea of Origin realm cultivator..."

As Jiang Yan revealed each piece of information.

Zhou Lao's brows knitted tightly; for some reason, he suddenly felt liver pain, though he was now a residual soul and had no liver.

At this point, he was stunned to realize that even as a Heaven Person realm cultivator, he could not fathom this Purple Mansion clan that radiated sheer oddness.

Then he shook his head, dismissing further thought, attributing it to the clan's great fortune: "The meridian circulation of this Pure Yang technique is so profound that even your master cannot find a single flaw—feel free to cultivate it without hesitation."

"Moreover, this technique is far more valuable than you imagine. That your clan leader would bestow such a technique upon you shows he holds great expectations for you. In the future, you must cherish it deeply..."

Hearing his master say this, Jiang Yan felt a surge of heat in his heart.

He had never even cultivated an Xuan-grade technique before, so he lacked true understanding of how precious an Earth-grade technique was.

But now, hearing such praise from his master—a Heaven Person realm cultivator—he realized just how extraordinary this Pure Yang technique truly was!

Thinking that his clan leader had bestowed such a technique upon him, Jiang Yan, moved deeply, silently vowed within himself.

In the future, he would serve his clan faithfully and never betray his clan leader's kindness!

At this moment, Zhou Lao fell into brief thought.

Since Jiang Yan already possessed this most suitable cultivation technique, the option of providing a cultivation technique could be temporarily set aside.

After all, for low-rank cultivators, he had nothing better to offer.

Yet, as his newly accepted disciple, it was truly inappropriate to give no gift upon meeting.

After several breaths of thought, Zhou Lao finally revealed before Jiang Yan the technique he had gathered through immense hardship.
