Chapter 176: Clue From the Disciple!

One had to know that even if one searched the entire continent, there weren’t many who were proficient in the divination techniques!

In the entire Lingyun Sect, the person with the greatest background should be Dong Mi, so Jiang Yiming had asked him to ask if his family had ways to obtain such help.

However, because Jiang Yiming had helped the entire Dong Family break their fate of early death, the Dong Family was now in a strange situation.

In short, it wasn’t that the Dong Family was unwilling to lend a helping hand, but that even Dong Mi wasn’t able to confirm the current position of his family.

If he could get the help of the Dong Family, then everyone would be happy. After all, the Dong Family itself was a family with quite some history and foundation. It was possible that they knew a thing or two about other ancient families.

On top of that, the Dong Family had been running around for so many years to decipher the fates of their clansmen.

Therefore, if they were free, it would definitely be most appropriate to ask them to help him resolve this matter.

After leaving Old Ling to take care of Gu Lingfei’s situation, Jiang Yiming returned to the sect’s main hall.

The disciple who said that he had seen the divination expert was Yan Shangqing, who had been abducted with Huang Chaoyu previously.

He was also quite anxious.

The last time, he had witnessed how his Master, senior brothers, and senior sisters had fought for the sake of him and his senior sister in the Shangguan Family. As such, he was fully aware of the strength of his sect.

Now that there was something going on in the sect, and he happened to be able to provide some help, it was naturally incumbent on him!

“Master!” When Yan Shangqing saw his Master, who was wearing a grave expression, bringing a few of his senior brothers with him as he walked in, he hurriedly bowed.

“Forget about the unnecessary etiquette. Quickly tell me, where exactly is that unaffiliated cultivator that you mentioned? And how did you know of his ability?”

Yan Shangqing nodded. His Master was already straight to the point, so there was naturally no need for him to beat around the bush, “It’s like this, Master. There had been a similar incident in the past back in my family, not long ago from now. In the past, I was just a person with mediocre talent. I had originally wanted to run away from home and find a sect to join. However, my talent was mediocre and I wasn’t young anymore, so there really weren’t any large sects that were willing to recruit me.”

Yan Shangqing was saying the truth. Cultivation required one to build a good foundation when one was young. Only by doing that could one’s cultivation be smooth sailing.

However, Yan Shangqing had been quite playful since he was young. As such, he had missed out on the best timing to start cultivating. When cultivating one’s foundation, although doing it later on was fine, it also required a large number of resources to support.

This wasn’t simple. Therefore, Yan Shangqing had always been hitting walls when he was away from home. Thus, he had no choice but to return to his family and cultivate alone.

“Junior brother, aren’t you going a little overboard with your words? Take a look at your current cultivation level!” Huang Chaoyu was a little surprised. This fellow had already reached the late stage of the Core Formation Realm when he came to their gates and stated that he wanted to join the Lingyun Sect.

After several enhancements and the unrivaled resources in the Lingyun Sect, including the extremely powerful Green Lotus Creation Technique and all kinds of pills, Yan Shangqing had already advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

If he were to say that he didn’t have any talent, he would probably incur the wrath of the public!

“Senior sister, there’s no need to be anxious. Do listen to my words for now. My talent could be said to be very average, in the beginning, and I couldn’t achieve much with it,” Yan Shangqing paused for a moment. Jiang Yiming knew that he was about to get to the crux of the matter, so he turned around and gestured for Huang Chaoyu not to be anxious and to listen to him first.

“But later on, something strange happened. A beggar came to my family to beg. Umm… No, to be honest, he wasn’t really a beggar. It was just that the person seemed a little down and out. When he came to my family, he asked me if I could give him a bowl of water. It wasn’t anything bad anyway, and besides, at that time, I was still worrying about my cultivation progress. Seeing that the person was quite sincere, I didn’t ask much and just gave him a bowl of water to drink. The strange thing happened after that. After drinking, the person came to me and said something. I was also a little curious, so I listened to him finish his words. That person only glanced at me and said that I had an unusual talent. I didn’t understand what he was talking about, so I could only listen to him to the end. After he finished his words, he gave me some pointers. I didn’t expect him to be right,” Yan Shangqing said as he looked around himself.

“I followed his instructions one by one, and it really seemed like I had awakened. Not only did my realm increase directly, but I also achieved twice the result with half the effort in my cultivation since then!” When Yan Shangqing said this, his face was full of disbelief.

To be honest, after coming to the Lingyun Sect, everyone had the same feeling. However, it was obvious that the Lingyun Sect relied on the support of all kinds of powerful cultivation techniques to allow everyone’s strength to improve so greatly.

In contrast, the old man that Yan Shangqing spoke of was really quite interesting. He did give off the feeling of an unaffiliated cultivator.

“Hmm… Shangqing, I’m not doubting the authenticity of what you said, but according to your words, this old man should have disappeared for a period of time, right? Won’t it be harder for us to find him than to ascend to the heavens?” Jiang Yiming scratched his head, not quite understanding why his disciple was saying this now. Yan Shangqing’s story should be true, but if he really wanted to find that old man now, wouldn’t it be an arduous quest?

“Master, you’ve caught the point. He had told me that he is in the Divine Phoenix Region. Sometimes, he will assume an identity, and when he is tired of that identity, he will live under another identity in the world. He also said that I will probably look for his help in the future. I only recalled all this recently… So.”

Jiang Yiming understood. It seemed that his disciple must have met an expert who had actually accurately predicted that they would meet again in the future!

Jiang Yiming’s interest was piqued. It should be this old man who could help them! Since the old man was in the Divine Phoenix Region, even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, he had to find him!

Thinking up to this point, he hurriedly asked his disciple to continue to recall and see if he could find any other clues from the recollection.

“Master, this is all that I remember. One thing I still remember that person telling me is that there is only a single word that is the most important in such matters.”
