Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

```

Wayless Sect, inside the Hall of Law Transmission.

Zhang Han's eyes twinkled with a sharp light, and his mind became crystal clear.

He understood!

He understood his Respected Master's intention!!

Basic Qi-Refining Technique Explained for Beginners…

Basic cultivation!

Respected Master wanted him to focus on the basics of cultivation!

These days, he had been engrossed in researching various advanced and complex formations, thereby gaining a lot of energy.

Among the formations he had researched, there were even ones from Ancient Times.

Yet, he hadn't learned the slightest about the basics of the formations from Ancient Times.

He had been continuously advancing towards higher-level formations.

Respected Master was worried that his foundation wasn't solid, which would hinder his progress in the future!

That's why he was given such a book, reminding him to pay attention to the basics of cultivation.

Otherwise, it surely couldn't be that Respected Master was suggesting he should go and learn the Basic Cultivation Technique for the Early Stage of Qi Refining Realm, right?

There can't be someone who really thinks that, can there?

No way, no way.

How could it be possible?

Clearly, it's utterly impossible.

Zhang Han took a deep breath and put down the "Basic Cultivation Method Explanation for the Early Stage of Qi Refining Realm".

He turned and started searching for books among the shelves.

Soon, he found a book on the basics of the formations from Ancient Times.

Zhang Han didn't bother with anything else and dove straight into the pile of books.

As for that Divine Weapon Pavilion mentioned by Respected Master?

Zhang Han hadn't given it a single thought.

What divine weapon could be more interesting than books?

He, Zhang Han, scorns the use of divine weapons and magical treasures!

Yes, he, Zhang Han, said it, he will definitely not go and look at any divine weapons or such.

He only loves to read in the Hall of Law Transmission.

He absolutely won't go to the Divine Weapon Pavilion!

If he went there?

Impossible!

If he did go, he would eat the floor tiles of the Hall of Law Transmission then and there!

Zhang Han silently made a vow, picked up the books, and once again immersed himself in them.

…

Meanwhile.

In East State, within an inn of a certain city.

Ye Luo and the Qian Yuan Sect Master were resting.

Ye Luo was still dressed as always, in his Azure Crane Cloud Robe, holding a long sword, a few strands of hair covering his eyebrows and obscuring his eyes, exuding an aura of mystery and detachment.

He appeared like a Celestial Sword Immortal, standing proudly above the mundane world.

Compared to Ye Luo.

The Qian Yuan Sect Master sitting beside him was in a much more miserable state.

His robes were tattered, with feathers still stuck to them.

His face was grimy.

As if he had just been through a fierce battle.

Ye Luo glanced at the Qian Yuan Sect Master sitting beside him and subtly moved a bit further away, his eyes filled with unmistakable disgust.

"Not to criticize you, Qian Yuan Sect Master, but what exactly have you done to your mount?"

"Why did it start rebelling madly the moment it knew you lost all your cultivation levels?"

Ye Luo asked helplessly.

He and the Qian Yuan Sect Master had originally been riding a magnificent Immortal Crane.

Planning to check the edge of East State first.

But along the way, while the two were discussing the Qian Yuan Sect Master's loss of his cultivation levels, the Immortal Crane overheard.

The mount immediately turned hostile, as if it had a huge vendetta against the Qian Yuan Sect Master, attacking him fiercely and even trying to mount him.

If not for Ye Luo's intervention.

The Qian Yuan Sect Master would probably have become a mount for an Immortal Crane by now…

"I have no idea either, this Immortal Crane was a mount I forcefully subdued and captured. I thought that after all this time, we would've formed a deep bond, but to my surprise, to my absolute surprise, it actually tried to make me its mount!"

The Qian Yuan Sect Master, with his garments in tatters, said with a desire to cry but no tears to shed.

He himself was flabbergasted.

Can you believe it?

The former Sect Master of Qian Emperor Dao Sect of East State's Holy Ground, almost became a mount for an Immortal Crane.

```

"You, it's just karmic retribution."

Ye Luo shook his head, too lazy to say more.

"Let's not talk about that, Young Friend Ye, do you have any money?"

The Qian Yuan Sect Master said awkwardly.

"No, the only piece of silver I had was left from before. I've already given that to this inn, otherwise could we be sitting here? Besides, what do I need money for? But you, what do you need money for?"

Ye Luo asked with a puzzled tone.

"To buy clothes, how can I go out in these clothes?"

The Qian Yuan Sect Master said helplessly.

Sitting in the distance, Ye Luo looked down and scrutinized the Qian Yuan Sect Master's attire.

Ragged and tattered...

Absolutely filthy...

If one said he was a beggar, people would probably believe it.

"You, a Sect Master of the Qiandi Dao Sect, don't have money?"

Ye Luo's mouth twitched slightly.

"No money, who carries money on them as a cultivator? I do have quite a few spirit stones on me, but they're all in my storage bag. I've placed a ban on this storage bag, which destroys itself if anyone else forcibly opens it..."

As he spoke, the Qian Yuan Sect Master's face once again looked like he was on the verge of tears.

Upon hearing this,

Ye Luo fell silent, sat there, and said nothing.

A gentle breeze blew by,

stirring a few strands of hair on his brows.

The atmosphere suddenly grew tense.

After a long while,

"So, what do you want to do now? Make do with the clothes you have, and I'll take you to the border of the East State to figure it out?"

Ye Luo couldn't help breaking the silence first, speaking out.

"No way, no way, I still care about my face. I have to get a change of clothes before we leave."

The Qian Yuan Sect Master shook his head and refused.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Ye Luo asked, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this,

The Qian Yuan Sect Master didn't speak, his gaze lingering on Ye Luo.

That look...

made Ye Luo's skin crawl.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Luo couldn't help but speak up.

"At this point, there are only two ways left; one is to rob some money, the other is to... cough, get a decent-looking set of clothes."

The Qian Yuan Sect Master stretched out two fingers and spoke earnestly.

His meaning was clear.

He wanted Ye Luo to figure out a solution for him.

Ye Luo firmly refused.

"No! If you want to go, go by yourself. I can't lose face like that."

Ye Luo refused sternly.

If his master knew about it, he might well break his legs.

The eldest disciple of the Hidden Sect, the Wayless Sect, stealing?

Seeing this, the Qian Yuan Sect Master could only helplessly wave his hand and sneakily slipped out.

Ye Luo didn't bother with him and took out an ancient key from his bosom, examining it carefully. Enjoy more content from empire

This ancient key was a gift from his master last time.

His master had clearly stated that the key contained a huge opportunity and advised him to understand it well.

Due to recent busy matters, he hadn't had the time to explore it.

Now he finally had the time to take a proper look.

Ye Luo could perceive a Dao presence in the key, but he couldn't understand the opportunity hidden within it.

Yet, this was personally said by his master.

There must be an opportunity in the key.

Just as Ye Luo was about to use the Observation Technique to examine the key,

a commotion suddenly erupted outside.

Ye Luo put away the key, held his sword, and walked to the entrance of the inn to take a look.

He saw a figure running away in a sorry state, with several people pursuing from behind.

This figure...

why does it look so familiar...

The Qian Yuan Sect Master?!!
