Chapter 137: Disciple-Cousin

y Shen Xiang's sudden appearance; she couldn't figure out why Shen Xiang could always easily approach her. Ever since the trading event started, she hadn't seen him, which made her somewhat worried."W...Chapter 137 - Apprentice Niece

Wu Qianqian's cheeks were flushed red. She didn't expect Shen Xiang to say something so flirtatious, but she secretly felt delighted. After all, it was a compliment from Shen Xiang, and she knew that she had certain charms that attracted him too.

Shen Xiang was furious, but he managed to hold his temper and explained, "I meant that your figure is very good."

"Hm," Wu Qianqian nodded, then left dejectedly.

Shen Xiang watched as she left the martial arts academy, then slammed his fists on his chest and cursed under his breath, "Little brat dragon, don't come out if you know what's good for you. Or else I'll hit your little behind until it's swollen."

"You stole her heart, yet you're so cruel towards her. I can't bear to watch it anymore," said Long Xueyi with a low hum.

"This... we'll talk about it later," Shen Xiang sighed slightly. He could tell that Wu Qianqian had feelings for him.

Shen Xiang waited as usual for Yun Xiaodao and Zhu Rong. However, instead of them, he was greeted by the old bald head Wu Kai Ming.

"Heh heh, Apprentice Younger Brother Little Bald Head, you're really obedient. You actually came to visit me even knowing that I've returned!" Shen Xiang smiled, feeling a sense of superiority at being able to take advantage of such an ultimate powerhouse.

"Little bastard uncle, you're really lucky that you didn't die. Did you know how worried we were" Wu Kai Ming sighed bitterly, wishing he could beat Shen Xiang up.

"Little bastard" Shen Xiang asked with a smile.

"Grandmaster Big Brother is arranging for Wu Qianqian's matters. He didn't expect that she would break through her bottleneck during her trip and become a true martial artist. At such a young age, Grandmaster Big Brother and the original Grandmaster of Wu Shuangmen are discussing how to reward her," said Wu Kai Ming. Seeing Shen Xiang return safely, he was relieved. He also learned that it was Shen Xiang who saved Wu Qianqian, allowing Wu Qianqian to break through smoothly.

"You're waiting for that little fatty and little skinny guy Don't wait anymore. They got Foundation Establishment pills from somewhere unknown, and they're in seclusion now. It's likely that they won't come out even when the Great Martial Festival starts," said Wu Kai Ming.

Both Zhu Rong and Yun Xiaodao had eaten Foundation Establishment pills, and they got them from somewhere unknown!

"What's going on" Shen Xiang asked in surprise.

"According to Yun Xiaodao, this is something that someone named 'Sloppy-Eyed Dragon' gave to them," said Wu Kai Ming.

Shen Xiang nodded. Of course, he was happy for his friends.

"Has Elder Pillar come out of seclusion" Shen Xiang asked again.

"She has, she's inside the Great Pill King Academy. Grandmaster Big Brother and I didn't tell her since you're our elder uncle, so it's up to you." Wu Kai Ming sneered.

"I'm actually a bit hesitant to go, but I have nothing to worry about since my seniority has been acknowledged by Dong Chen and Wu Kai Ming."

Shen Xiang stood at the entrance of Great Pill King Academy, inserting his jade badge into a hole. The gates opened, and just as Shen Xiang stepped inside the gate, a person wearing black robes with a mask suddenly appeared in front of him, causing him to jump in fear.

"Elder Pillar, you scared me!" Shen Xiang exhaled a long breath.

"You didn't die... Where did you get that tree" the Pillar Elder said, her voice filled with anxiety.

In Shen Xiang's courtyard, there was a Auspicious Azure Tree. It was impossible to hide this from the Pillar Elder, so he said, "I found it in a deep mountain range. What's wrong"

"This is Auspicious Azure Tree. It absorbs a large amount of true qi every day and is nurturing the Auspicious Azure Fruit quickly. It's now flowering!" The Pillar Elder's voice was filled with excitement.

"I was surprised." Shen Xiang also felt shocked. He originally believed that it would take at least a thousand years for the fruit to ripen under normal circumstances, but she only left for eight and a half months before it started flowering. This means that it likely flowers once every year, making this just like a common fruit!

"I'll go see!" Shen Xiang hurriedly ran over, only to laugh when he saw the twenty blossoms on the tree. "Haha, I'm about to become the richest person."

The Pillar Elder slapped his head and said coldly, "Don't be too proud, the fruit hasn't ripened yet! What did you do these days Although I hate you very much, as a member of Great Pill King Academy, I can't allow anything to happen to you. You'd better become my disciple and let me teach you divine techniques, then I will refine Foundation Establishment pills for you to break through."

Shen Xiang scratched his ear with his index finger and chuckled, "Little girl without a name, shouldn't you know that I killed someone from the Beast Martial Sect who was at True Martial Realm At that time, I was locked in that forbidden area!"

"That's right, only that lunatic old man would say such things! Could it be that..." The Pillar Elder wasn't stupid; she quickly thought of something, and her slender body trembled slightly.

Shen Xiang laughed loudly, his laughter echoing like that of the lunatic old man. He took out a contract and handed it to the Pillar Elder.

"This is proof that I became your disciple. Although Master is crazy, he's actually quite nice and taught me a lot. Otherwise, I would've died on that trip to Fragrant City," said Shen Xiang proudly.

The Pillar Elder's jade hands were trembling slightly, and she slowly opened the contract. She could clearly sense Huang Jintian's unique true qi aura.

The Pillar Elder took a deep breath and slowly said, "Does Grandmaster Big Brother and Pillar Elder know"

"Of course, they both call me uncle. It's okay if you don't call me that since I know you hate me, and I won't force you," Shen Xiang sighed feigning sadness, then put away the contract.

"Humph," The Pillar Elder grunted, standing there silently. Her master was very good to her, and Huang Jintian was the same way too. Without those two powerful people, she wouldn't be where she is today. She respects her elders very much, but what about Shen Xiang

"Ye... You're my uncle!" The Pillar Elder still called out, but her voice was stiff and filled with hate.

"Heh heh, Apprentice Younger Brother Little Bald Head and Apprentice Younger Brother Little Furball both call me little uncle. You can also do the same," said Shen Xiang, chuckling even more proudly, as if he could grin his teeth off.

"I'm not a fool, I don't need you to teach me this!" The Pillar Elder replied coldly.

Shen Xiang smiled, "Pillar Elder, Wu Qianqian just晉升了True Martial Realm. She advanced by merging with the Fire Soul, and I witnessed that process. She's a woman, has good talent, and is now a Second Stage Alchemist. Being your disciple won't be bad."Shen Xiang's sudden burst of strength terrified and excited her. She guessed that it was the power of the Taiji Dragon Technique, and if she could obtain this divine technique, her strength might incr...
