Chapter 811: Chapter 485: Heavenly Core! Heavenly Core! (Part 2)
It’s just that he hadn’t summoned Shi Yi, and unexpectedly, they met by chance again.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yuan decided to show himself and meet.
At this moment, Yue Shan was in a mountain forest guiding Shi Yi’s cultivation, pointing out his mistakes and correcting them. He held a thin bamboo stick in his hand, constantly whipping him while scolding relentlessly:
“Kid, with such little skill, you think you can become the master’s disciple?”
Shi Yi was about to retort when suddenly, a familiar voice reached their ears.
A vigilant Yue Shan quickly turned around. When he clearly saw the visitor, the vigilance in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a look of joy. He hurriedly kneeled on one knee:
“This subordinate greets the master!”
Shi Yi also hurriedly kneeled on the ground, speaking in a deep voice:
“Disciple Shi Yi, greets Master!”
Although Chen Yuan had once ordered Shi Yi not to call him master until he reached the Core Realm, Shi Yi couldn’t care less; he would first secure the title.
After arriving at Tangshan Prefecture, he learned who the distinguished person he met in Changshan was.
Demon Blade Chen Yuan!
The renowned Demon Blade Chen Yuan of Jianghu!
An absolutely top figure he admired, compared to whom those martial arts masters he considered important in the past in Changshan were nothing at all,
The most important thing is that in Tangshan, Chen Yuan was respected by everyone.
Such a powerful and influential person naturally aroused his aspiration.
Later, after using some methods to find Yue Shan, he casually hinted at being Chen Yuan’s unofficial disciple, just too busy with official affairs to teach, which is why he was in Tangshan cultivating with Yue Shan.
He had promised that once he formed a True Pill, he would officially accept him as a disciple.
These words were not untrue because Chen Yuan had indeed said this before; the notion of being an unofficial disciple with no time for instruction was just his cleverness as a beggar.
Unsurprisingly, after he revealed this, everyone at the Heavenly Patrol Bureau in Tangshan Prefecture looked at him differently. Although Yue Shan didn’t think that his master would accept disciples,
he decided to keep him around to teach and be more strict.
Later, a noble lady even summoned him, claiming to be his Master’s wife, inquiring about what he previously said. Faced with such a person, little Shi Tou wouldn’t dare to deceive as he would with others.
He directly revealed everything that had transpired.
Lady Xu did not blame him but instead rewarded him with some items and let it go. Since then, he had been following Yue Shan in cultivation, officially setting foot on the path of martial arts.
In the days of living together, Shi Yi called Yue Shan “Uncle Yue,” learning about some of Chen Yuan’s past in Nanling Prefecture, deepening his admiration and aspiration.
He secretly vowed in his heart that he would one day catch up with Master Chen Yuan’s steps.
With a thought, Chen Yuan lifted the two with an invisible force.
Yue Shan, seeing the familiar Chen Yuan, also sensed a strange yet unfathomable aura, realizing that his master had become even more terrifying!
“Why has the master come here?” Yue Shan asked with cupped hands.
“Just passing by, I saw you, so I came down to take a look.”
Last time, due to urgent matters, he had not met many people, and they didn’t know he had visited Tangshan Prefecture. This update is available on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
“Not bad, your cultivation has strengthened again.”
Chen Yuan praised him with a few encouraging words.
Compared to before, Yue Shan’s cultivation had clearly broken through to Reach Profound, indicating how hard he must have worked since not following Chen Yuan closely.
Of course, the resources available to him and his own talent also couldn’t be ignored.
“This subordinate only wishes to continue following the master in the future.”
Yue Shan quickly expressed his stance.
“There will be opportunities.”
Shi Yi stood by respectfully.
“Not bad, cultivate well, and once you meet my requirements, I will accept you as my disciple.” Since this kid chose to come to Tangshan, he wouldn’t go back on his word.
Just a disciple, nothing significant.
“Yes, this disciple will work hard in cultivation to not disappoint Master’s expectations.” Shi Yi was filled with excitement.
In their conversation, Chen Yuan also learned some of Yue Shan’s recent situations. He was quite impressive, wielding considerable power within Tangshan Prefecture.
He even was qualified to seek an audience with Lady Xu. At least here, no one dared to look down on him.
Even Han Yu and Du Ming, when they saw Yue Shan, treated him almost as an equal.
Besides Yue Shan, people like Mo Donghe, Yan Qing, and the Yunjiang Four Ghosts were also treated similarly. Although their cultivation was only at Gang Condensation, their status was not low.
Everyone knew they used to be Chen Yuan’s close followers, accompanying him for a long time, absolute confidants, how could anyone dare to upset them?
They understood the principle that even at the prime minister’s gate, they were seventh-rank officials.
Even Lady Xu ensured they received their share of gifts during holidays, bestowing them with noble status.
Of course, Yue Shan and others were very sensible, never acting arrogantly due to their veteran status, but very low-key in obeying Han Yu and others’ orders.
When it came time to use their veteran status, they did not hesitate.
Chen Yuan still valued and trusted these former subordinates, even though their cultivation had fallen far behind his, making them unqualified even as guards, but he didn’t blame them.
