Chapter 75: The Unseemly Master of the Ancient Tower — Seeking Recommendation Tickets!

  Recently, Gu Ta's master has been very depressed. After waiting for over a decade, he finally found a disciple who could break through the remaining nine palaces and six unions, and his wisdom was satisfactory. However, to his surprise, this person directly refused him. As a result, he has run to Qing Yu Men three times to ask his old friend Lei Hong to help understand Tang Jing's background, but Lei Hong only said three words: "I don't know".

  Gu Tower Master had lived for over a hundred years, and he was not one to be easily fooled. He didn't believe that Lei Hong knew nothing about Tang Qing's background, but no matter how he asked, Lei Hong insisted that he knew nothing, which left Gu Tower Master extremely puzzled.

  I don't know, then I don't know. So, Gu Ta let him try to persuade Tang Qing to be his disciple, but Lei Hong's attitude made him very strange, and he actually said that if he didn't want to, he wouldn't, just replace him with someone else.

  Why not? There must be some reason, right?

  Gu Tower Lord repeatedly asked, Lei Hong just repeated, he said unwilling then unwilling, no reason, this can make Gu Tower Lord really depressed, had to use a heavy heart and bitter mouth to tell his own so many years of waiting for the disciple's heartache one by one, fortunately, moved Lei Hong, Lei Hong finally agreed to try it out for him.

  Originally thought that Lei Hong would come forward, after all, there was a glimmer of hope. As the elder of Qingyu Gate and a respected senior, he was considered one of the old immortals of Yongyang City. But what Gu Taizhu didn't expect was that when Lei Hong returned, he actually said that Tang Qing had already agreed to see him.

  It turns out that Lei Hong has been gone for so long and only accomplished this little? Was it just to agree to see himself?

  "Alas... I, Gu Xiu, was once the master of Tianyao Zhenfa Tower, and had comprehended the symbol texts for over a hundred years. Although I dare not say that I have achieved anything, I have made some small accomplishments. As for taking in disciples, having someone as mediocre as myself is probably the best one could hope for."

  All the way, Gu Ta's master was shaking his head and sighing, lamenting that fate was playing tricks on people. Over the years, many talented and insightful individuals had come to pay their respects and ask him to be their teacher, but none of them could break through the remaining difficulties of the Nine Palaces and Six Harmonies. He had no choice but to turn them away. Now, someone who could finally solve the remaining difficulties of the Nine Palaces and Six Harmonies had appeared, yet he himself was being turned away. If he wanted to see him, he would have to rely on connections.

  Actually, the old tower master wanted to see Tang Qing, not just to persuade him to become his disciple, but also to urgently find out how Tang Qing was able to refine such a powerful wind blade symbol with the resources required by the clear symbol. The old tower master had been studying the way of symbols for over 100 years and had extremely deep attainments, he also had the ability to refine such a powerful wind blade symbol, but the resources needed were many times more.

  Lei Hong glanced at him sideways, raised an eyebrow, and thought to himself, "This old man's eyesight is not bad, but his luck is a bit off. If he could take Tang Qing as his apprentice, he might just become the number one person in the world." As for Tang Qing, Lei Hong didn't know much about him, but he couldn't imagine how powerful he was, considering that he had been tormented by the residual demon energy in his dantian for nearly fifty years. Despite consuming countless spiritual pills and trying various methods, none of them worked, not even the elders of the sect could help him. But Tang Qing gave him a copy of the Sacred Wood Primordial Merit, and after practicing it for just over ten days, the demon energy in his dantian began to dissipate. Moreover, he found that after practicing, his internal organs and meridians seemed to be nourished, and his whole person became radiant and refreshed. What a powerful technique!

  "Lei Hong, you little scamp, are you hiding something from me?" Gu Ta Zhu suddenly stopped in his tracks, a pair of profound eyes staring tightly.

  "What can I hide from you?" Lei Hong knew that this old man was cunning and feared being seen through, so he shouted, "Let's hurry up, we're almost there."

  Gu Ta's master grunted and continued walking with his head down. He wasn't a fool, so he naturally noticed Lei Hong's strangeness. According to common sense, Tang Jing was after all a disciple of Qing Yu Men. Even if he had formed the Earth Body or the Sun Body, a disciple is still a disciple. Even if he was arrogant and looked down on everyone, Gu Ta's master knew Lei Hong's temper very well. If it were really like that, Lei Hong would not have given that disciple any face, let alone personally gone to ask him questions.

  What's going on here?

  Gu Ta was also at a loss for a moment.

  They finally arrived at the place, and Lei Hong suddenly said that he had something to do and left in a hurry. This made Gu Ta even more suspicious. He stared at the direction where Lei Hong was leaving, hesitated for a long time, shook his head, knocked on the door, and after hearing the response from inside, Gu Ta pushed open the door and entered. The room was very ordinary, with only one table and two stools. On the table were several jars of fine wine, and the pungent smell of alcohol filled the entire room. A young man in his early twenties, with his chest exposed, leaned against the table, with his legs crossed, sitting there leisurely, eating a kind of nut occasionally.

  This nut is about the size of a thumb, entirely dark red, as if...

  It's actually a Devil Fruit!

  Gu Ta's eyebrows furrowed deeply, he was very clear that long-term use of this stuff would drive him crazy.

  "Please sit down, Master Gu."

  Tang Qing narrowed his eyes and smiled, pouring him a cup of wine and handing it over, saying, "There's nothing good to entertain you with here, just make do."

  "Tang Xiaoyou, don't be polite." Gu Taizhu had lived for nearly two hundred years and it was the first time he met such a strange young man. How to put it, this guy's words and actions were filled with a sense of randomness, as if in his world there had never been any etiquette.

  "Listen to the old man, you've come looking for me three times." Tang Jing changed into a more comfortable posture, gently tugging at the few not-so-obvious whiskers on his chin, and said, "Let's get straight to the point. If I had known back then that you set up that trap to recruit a disciple, I wouldn't have gone to break it. I understand your desire for a successor, but...I already have a master."

  Tang Qing also felt very sorry about this matter. In order not to disappoint the old man, he casually found an excuse.

  "Ah, so the young friend already has a master, huh..." The ancient tower's voice was filled with endless loss. In fact, he had thought of this reason long ago, but still held onto a glimmer of hope, unwilling to give up just yet. He forced a smile and said, "The young friend is able to break through the remnants of my layout, their wit must be extraordinary. To be honest, I truly envy your master. May I ask, who is your master?"

  "This... sorry."

  Tang Jing shook his head, as for the runes, he had also been exploring them all along. He actually hoped to have a master who could help him figure out what was going on with the two mysterious runes that were sealed under the great curse of yin and yang on both shoulders.

  "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you anymore..." The master of the ancient tower was filled with disappointment and despair. He was about to stand up when he seemed to remember something. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Tang Xiao You, I have an impolite request, I hope you can answer it."

  "Oh? But it doesn't matter."

  "This talisman was refined by you, little friend?"

  Tang Qing glanced at it and indeed, it was the Wind Blade Symbol he had refined. The master of the ancient tower thought for a moment and said, "This old man also knows the way of talismans, probing into the secrets of someone else's talisman is taboo, but this old man has been pondering over talismans for over a hundred years and still can't figure out how you, young friend, managed to refine such an extraordinary Wind Blade Symbol with the resources needed for a Purification Symbol."

  No matter whether it's refining talismans or refining arrays, once the talisman is formed, a talisman image will appear, and once the array is formed, an array image will also appear. As for what kind of talisman script was drawn with the brush beforehand, only the person themselves know, and in the world of talismans, there has always been an unwritten rule that it's extremely impolite to pry into someone else's skills, especially since this old man is still the master of a tower. If he weren't really too curious, he wouldn't have asked so rudely without regard for his status.

  "Hmph……" Tang Jing shook his head and didn't say a word, directly opening a package on the table, taking out a brush with spiritual symbols, some law ink, and yellow paper. "Who knows who made this ridiculous rule? They don't realize that the way of spiritual symbols is about exchange. Nowadays, for personal gain, everyone hides and conceals, afraid of being learned by others. In this way, relying solely on oneself to explore, it would take a monkey's age to comprehend the subtleties of spiritual symbols!"

  Tang Qing's words were spoken unintentionally, but when they reached the ears of Gu Taizhu, they were like a thunderclap on a clear day, and even more like a baptism by fire, striking his heart with great force. Although the words were somewhat presumptuous, they were indeed the truth. For the first time, Gu Taizhu felt that the young man in front of him was profound and unfathomable. He didn't continue to think about it, but instead looked at Tang Qing seriously as he drew the talisman with the required resources.

  Tang Qing held the brush in one hand, and as he lifted it, he stroked the ink onto the yellow paper. His drawing speed was extremely fast, but Gu Ta's master was secretly shocked. He had never seen anyone draw talismans with such fluency, as if they were born from the same breath. This profound state of mind made him envious. As one mysterious talisman after another fell onto the yellow paper, Gu Ta's expression gradually became shocking, his face seemingly having seen the long-awaited true relic of the Great Wilderness.

  "Indeed... indeed... the subtlety of Wan Luo, only the subtlety of Wan Luo can refine the Wind Blade Symbol with the resources required by the Purification Symbol! " The master of the ancient tower was filled with excitement, even his hands trembled as he picked up the Wind Blade Symbol, and his eyes were slightly red. "This old man has lived a lifetime, to be able to see the profound skills of Wan Luo's subtlety, it is truly a life worth living!"
