Chapter 327: Immortal Cultivator from the Outer Realm
Xiao Huo was not too surprised that the head referee had approached him.
He did not ask for the reason and just stood there waiting.
Half an hour later, most of the people had left.
The head referee came to Xiao Huo and said, “The Elders have some questions for you. Follow me!”
“Mm!”
Xiao Huo followed behind the head referee.
…
“Elders, Peak Master, Xiao Huo has arrived!” The head referee said respectfully.
“Cai, you’ve worked hard!”
“Not at all, this is part of my duties,” the head referee said humbly.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave,” said the head referee respectfully.
“Alright, go!”
After he left, the elders immediately surrounded Xiao Huo.
Their brows were furrowed, and their gazes were focused and full of oppression. It was as if they were playing a game where everyone would come together to find fault, wanting to pick out something different on Xiao Huo.
As he faced so many eyes staring at him, he definitely felt uncomfortable.
Xiao Huo looked calm on the surface, but he was extremely flustered inwardly.
The elders sized him up for a while before retracting their gazes.
“Hu!” Xiao Huo quietly sighed in relief.
Jiang Guihua came in front of Xiao Huo and stared at him for three to four seconds before saying, “Xiao Huo, who taught you your alchemy skills?”
Jiang Guihua asked directly.
Xiao Huo was slightly stunned. He thought to himself, What is to come will come.
Old man, look. I told you to keep a low profile, but you just had to flaunt.
Now, I’m going to be in trouble.
In a space in Xiao Huo’s consciousness, he hysterically cursed an old man with white hair.
The old man was obviously unconvinced and retorted, “How can you keep a low profile as my disciple? Me, Dan Yangzi?”
“Since when did I agree to being your disciple?”
“Since I have taught you alchemy, you are naturally my disciple.”
“Damn it, didn’t you force it on me? Why would I care for it?”
“I don’t care. In any case, you have used my alchemy skills, so you are my disciple.
“Forget it. I won’t argue with you anymore.
“Anyway, there is no way to hide this today.
“If anything happens to me, just wait and cry!”
With that, Xiao Huo left the space in his consciousness.
“Peak Master, if I say it’s just my natural talent, would you believe me?” Xiao Huo calmly looked at Jiang Guihua.
Jiang Guihua smiled. “Xiao Huo, what do you think?”
Xiao Huo shook his head. “No!”
“We’re all adults. Tell us! We won’t eat you.” Jiang Guihua smiled.
The surrounding elders immediately pricked up their ears and stared at Xiao Yan with benevolent looks.
Xiao Huo quickly swept his gaze around and felt nervous and panicky.
In the space in his consciousness.
“We could have kept it a secret. Why did you have to jump out so early?”
“By the time you develop, my soul will have long dissipated. What use would I have for you?”
“It’s not too late for you to leave now.”
“Leave?” Dan Yangzi was so angry that he knocked Xiao Huo on the head.
It was not easy to find a host body that was suitable for his soul. If he were to leave now, he might not be so lucky again.
Xiao Huo felt a headache start to come on.
Dan Yangzi calmed down for a moment and said calmly, “Rascal, cultivation isn’t as simple as you think. You can’t develop yourself just because you have time.
“In addition to one’s own talent and hard work, the most important thing in cultivation is resources.
“If you have enough resources, no matter how poor your talent is, you can cultivate to the Immortal King realm or even higher. ”
“Look at these elders and Peak Masters of yours. How long has it been since they started cultivating, and they’ve already reached this realm? It’s all because of resources.”
“You said that as long as you stay in hiding for a long time, you would rise up sooner or later.
“But if you hide, the outside world will only see you as a very ordinary immortal cultivator. Will the higher-ups allocate resources to you?”
“If you don’t have the resources and only rely on cultivation to absorb that bit of spiritual energy every day, you won’t be able to become an immortal even after a thousand or ten thousand years.”
Dan Yangzi’s words were like a huge rock smashing into the calm lake surface. It caused Xiao Huo’s original resolve to waver.
“Old man… oh no, Senior Dan Yangzi. What do you think we should do then?” Xiao Huo asked seriously.
“What else? Tell the truth!” Dan Yangzi said directly.
“Then I can sell you out?” Xiao Huo was very uncertain. “If the elders and the rest have bad intentions, then wouldn’t we be finished?”
Dan Yangzi smiled and said confidently, “I’m a Golden Immortal after all. I’ve seen more people than the salt you’ve eaten.
“From their looks, these elders of yours are upright and will not act rashly.”
“Then I’m really going to tell them?” Xiao Huo was doubtful.
“Mm, mm!” Dan Yangzi nodded.
…
Back to reality.
Xiao Huo took a deep breath and stared at Jiang Guihua, “Peak Master, someone else taught me.”
“Who is it?” Jiang Guihua immediately asked.
The eyes of the surrounding elders lit up with curiosity.
“They’re called Dan Yangzi. He’s from the outer realm.”
“The outer realm?” Jiang Guihua and the elders were especially shocked.
“Where is that person?”
Xiao Huo pointed at his head and said, “Dan Yangzi’s physical body was destroyed because he was plotted against, leaving only a trace of his soul.
“He accidentally came here and dwelt in my body.”
“Oh, I see.” Jiang Guihua nodded her head meaningfully.
Xiao Huo added, “Peak Master, Senior Dan Yangzi is a very good person. He’s not a wicked and evil person.
“If he were evil, I would have been possessed.”
“I know,” Jiang Guihua replied.
“Then… Can I leave now?” Xiao Huo softly asked.
Jiang Guihua shook her head. “Leave? Where do you want to go?”
“Go… go home and sleep?” Xiao Huo asked weakly.
“Can Dan Yangzi to come out?” Jiang Guihua pondered for a moment before asking.
“Let me ask!”
In the space in his consciousness.
“Senior, you heard what I said just now. Can you come out?” Xiao Huo said.
Dan Yangzi said, “If my soul power is plentiful, I can.”
“Cut the crap. Yes or no.”
“No!”
“Damn you!”
“…”
…
“Peak Master, senior Dan Yangzi said it’s not convenient for him to come out.” Xiao Huo spoke truthfully.
“In that case, it’s not convenient for you to leave either,” Jiang Guihua said.
“Ah, but” Xiao Huo immediately panicked.
Jiang Guihua said, “Don’t be nervous. We won’t hurt you.
“But you’re involved with someone from the outer realm. The situation is complicated.’
“Since that person can’t come out, from a safe point of view, we can only wait for the Sect Master to return before making a decision.
“Therefore, I can only trouble you for a period of time.”
“Yes, I understand.” Xiao Huo did not throw a tantrum and was exceptionally calm.
From the moment he participated in alchemy, he had already guessed that this would be the outcome.
Xiao Huo was taken away by an elder.
…
In a certain room.
“Xiao Huo, you will stay here for now. If there is anything, you can ring the bell and someone will come over.”
“I have to remind you that it’s best not to think about escaping.
“You are an adult. Before you do anything, think carefully about the consequences,” said the elder seriously.
“I know.” Xiao Huo said humbly.
“Do you need anything else?” the elder asked.
“Not at the moment.”
“Alright then, you can stay here in peace.”
After the elder left, Xiao Huo sat on the chair and did not speak for a long time. He seemed to be thinking about something.
“Kid, don’t be so depressed.
“You’re just being grounded.
“Back then, I broke one of Master’s glass lamps and was made to face the wall for a hundred years.” Dan Yangzi said casually.
Xiao Huo ignored him.
On the other side.
Jiang Guihua gathered the other Peak Masters to discuss Xiao Huo’s matter.
