"So you didn't stop me?"
Bai Xiaoqing looked at the bearded man, "You wanted me to be deceived, so that I could temper my state of mind?"
"Miss is indeed sharp as ice and clever!"
The bearded man nodded and said, "That's exactly what I intended. After all, life is unpredictable. The sooner one sees through human nature, the more meticulous one's thoughts will be."
"But I still firmly believe he won't lie to me!"
Bai Xiaoqing said directly, "Bearded man, if you don't believe me, we'll just wait and see!"
The bearded man said nothing. He felt Bai Xiaoqing was too young and couldn't see through many things, but he was an experienced person, how could he not know.
After Lu Fan got the silver, he headed towards Shilipo. He never expected that although he was rich beyond compare on Earth, he had to borrow ten taels of silver from others in the Spiritual Realm, which was quite a contrast.
On the slope of Shilipo, the old beggar drank wine, looking dejected and quite tipsy.
Not long after, Lu Fan arrived at Shilipo and seeing the old beggar's figure, he showed his joy, "I have now obtained ten taels of silver, can I be your disciple?"
"It seems you are sincere, young man!"
The beggar nodded slightly, "Put down the silver, kowtow to me three times, and from now on, the three thousand great paths shall be yours to traverse, and the myriad worlds shall bow to you!"
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes, "Old man, aren't you tricking me? Although you have some skill, isn't it a bit much?"
"Look at what you're saying, old man, I don't look like someone who deceives people!"
The old beggar said solemnly, "After all, there are countless powerful individuals who want to be my disciple, but I haven't taken them on. It's said that you are my last disciple, and it's a kind of fate!"
Lu Fan said nothing more and knelt down to kowtow. He didn't know if what the old beggar said was true or not, but the strength the old beggar had displayed just now, he could tell he was no ordinary person.
Seeing Lu Fan kneel down, the old beggar looked satisfied, "Since you are so sincere, I will accept you as my disciple. Tell me, what do you want to learn!"
"Old man, your footwork just now was good!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, "Can you teach it to me? That way, I'll have another companion skill in the future."
"You brat, your eyes are indeed sharp!"
The old man smiled, "This is a secret I don't pass on, and an ancient secret technique. It has the effect of shrinking the ground into inches. If you truly comprehend it, I'm afraid no one in this Spiritual Realm will be able to capture you!"
"This is the very technique I want!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, "I just don't know if you, senior, will teach me everything you know, as I am quite interested."
"Why the change in address now?"
The old man smiled slightly, "Shouldn't you call me Master?"
"Yes, Master, Master!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. The old beggar's methods just now were extraordinary, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
The old beggar nodded slightly. Lu Fan was so obedient that he was quite pleased.
"Since you want to learn, I will teach you!"
The old beggar made a hand seal, which entered Lu Fan's mind and then gradually disappeared. Lu Fan could then comprehend the subtlety of this hand seal.
"Thank you, Master, for your teachings!"
Lu Fan smiled. This hand seal manifested in his mind, allowing him to understand much instantly, and he directly began to use it.
Seeing Lu Fan's strangely elusive movements, the old beggar was very satisfied, "Old man, I really didn't misjudge you. You brat are no ordinary person to comprehend it so quickly!"
"It's all thanks to Master's good teaching!"
Lu Fan quickly said, "When I have money, I will definitely treat you to roast chicken!"
"Pah!"
The old beggar rolled his eyes, "Are you looking down on me too much! Do I look like someone who lacks roast chicken? Besides, this is an ancient secret technique. Let alone a roast chicken, even a major sect would have to kneel and beg to get what they want!"
"You're right, you're right!"
Lu Fan nodded seriously, his expression even more earnest. Now that he had received the supreme inheritance, he was quite happy. With this supreme secret technique, even if he was pursued and killed in the future, he could easily resolve it.
"Your Master needs to travel the four seas, so you can temper yourself slowly!"
The old beggar yawned, "Besides constantly imparting the ancient secret technique to you, I have also given you a cultivation method. If you cultivate according to it, with your talent, you will soon become famous in the Spiritual Realm!"
"Master, you are so powerful, can you help me with one thing?"
Lu Fan said earnestly, "If I succeed, I will definitely repay your kindness in the future, like a bull or a horse!"
"I think it's better not to,"
The old beggar waved his hand, "You want me to save that girl, don't you?"
Lu Fan trembled slightly and looked at the Taixu Sword. He hadn't expected the old beggar to see through it at a glance.
"As long as I can help Xiao Ke recast her golden body, I am willing to do anything!"
Lu Fan spoke again, looking at the old beggar.
"You brat speak quite interestingly. Do you think you can do whatever you want?"
The old beggar slowly stood up, "Reshaping the golden body is no small matter, not to mention you still have many tribulations to endure. If you want her to be saved, then enhance your own strength!"
After the old beggar finished speaking, he left Shilipo. Lu Fan wanted to say more, but he couldn't see the old beggar anymore, which made him a little dejected.
"Xiao Fan, you don't need to be too sad!"
Lin Ke quickly said, "Actually, I'm quite alright inside the Taixu Sword, not to mention having your company!"
"I know!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, "It's my own lack of ability, otherwise, I wouldn't let you suffer like this!"
"Brother Xiao Fan, don't say that!"
Lin Ke said awkwardly, "If you say that, I'll really get angry!"
"I'm just saying!"
Lu Fan quickly smiled, "But don't worry, I will definitely recast your golden body, and I will never go back on my word!"
"Mhm, I believe in Brother Xiao Fan!" Lin Ke nodded.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the Zhao family in Qingshui Town, Zhao Dahai looked at Zhao Dalei's corpse and was filled with anger, "Who did this? How dare they attack my brother!"
"Second Young Master, we don't know who did it!"
The Zhao family members quickly said, looking helpless.
"Dahai, this technique seems to be from a spiritual practitioner..."
A woman spoke out, "Could it be that your Zhao family has offended some important figure? Otherwise, why would you attract a spiritual practitioner?"
"Senior Sister Bai Yu, this matter might require the sect's intervention!"
Zhao Dahai said, "My brother cannot die in vain!"
"In Qingshui Town, there aren't many spiritual practitioners who can reach six stars or above. The immediate priority is to find out who did it!" Bai Yu said directly.
"Second Young Master, the Eldest Young Master went to Niutian Village a few days ago and returned without success!"
Butler Zhao said, "Could it be that the immortal in Niutian Village did it!"
"Niutian Village?"
