Chapter 342: Take Disciples
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh The entrance of the cave was small yet the cave itself was enormous.
A stone bed, a few stone hassocks, a stone tank and some bowls, pots, dishes and other kitchenware were placed in that cave, which was big enough to contain over a thousand sturdy men to run a wrestling game. Among all objects placed in the cave, what was the most dazzling was an eight to nine zhang tall stone cauldron. Its entire body had been releasing a dense and great sense of power, the strong pressure filling up the whole cave, even making people feel it hard to breathe.
This was a naturally formed holy weapon, and not only that, it was also a top-grade one among all natural formed holy weaponry.
Inside Ji Hao’s spirit space, the Flame Dragon Sword was crazily roaring and vibrating, the incomparably strong intention of fighting released by the sword even straightened all of Ji Hao’s fine hairs.
This stone cauldron had given the Flame Dragon Sword an extremely great pressure, stimulating the craziest intention of fighting in the sword. At this moment, the Flame Dragon Sword just couldn’t wait to dash out and start a deadly battle against the stone cauldron; either the sword would hack the cauldron into two, or it would break into pieces against the cauldron.
The Golden Dan had been rotating swiftly. Ji Hao tried his best to suppress the Flame Dragon Sword, keeping it from zipping out of his spirit space.
Candle Dragon Gui walked to the stone cauldron while murmuring and complaining. Slightly, he patted on the stone cauldron with his right hand, and following his move, a clear and green stream of liquid flew out of the cauldron, falling into a huge pot; after that, he slightly nodded his head. A stream of smoke instantly spurted our from the flame floating upon his head instantly, rotated around the pot, and immediately the green liquid contained in the pot was boiled, letting out bubbling noise and emitting a nice, attractive aroma.
“I have nothing good to treat you,” carrying the pot, Candle Dragon Gui walked back to Ji Hao and his teammates while speaking, slowly pouring each of them a cup of that green liquid. No one had noticed when Feng Xing showed up, quickly found a big bowl carved out of a piece of stone, and got himself a full bowl of steaming green liquid.
“It’s ten thousand years old cyan stone milk,” After throwing a sideway, complaining glance at Feng Xing, Candle Dragon Gui put the pot down and sat on a stone hassock, and said, “Just grab yourselves a seat and drink. This stone is mild and doesn’t have too many benefits, can only brighten your eyes and smarten your ears. It’s barely effective to old guys like me, but to kids like you, especially the ones who likes to hide in shadows and launch his sneak attacks, it can still be very helpful.”
Ji Hao smilingly drank up the cup of cyan stone milk. The milk was obviously heated to boiling by Candle Dragon Gui, yet, it still tasted bone-piercingly cold. But soon, Ji Hao sensed a faint stream of warmth quickly rising from the coldness of the stone milk, speedily gushing into his a pair of eyes through his blood veins and meridians.
He sensed chill and warmth from his eyes at the same time. At a very high speed, the warm power and the cold power brushed across his eyes in turns. Meanwhile, Ji Hao felt his sights had been growing greater and greater, as if layers of gauzes were removed before his eyes one after another, allowing him to clearly see even the tiniest dust in the air.
He now could even see all of those micro air swirls brought up by the tiniest dust when they were floating in the air.
A small cup of one thousand years old cyan stone milk had improved Ji Hao’s sight by at least one hundred percent. Ji Hao couldn’t help but glare at Feng Xing, who moved so quickly and grabbed himself a giant bowl just now; the stone milk contained in his bowl was at least three times more than the amount contained in Ji Hao’s cup.
Feng Xing gave Ji Hao a big grin, then hurriedly drank up the stone milk contained in his bowl. After that, he leapt up, darted to a corner of the cave, then squatted down.
Candle Dragon Gui sat on the stone hassock, narrowed his eyes, looking at Shaosi and Taisi. His big, happy smile made his wrinkled face look like a blooming petunia. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop smiling.
“Since this is also what that…powerful man wants, I will not say too much. Taisi, Shaosi, just kneel and kowtow to your Shifu. From now on, you two are my personal disciples!”
Chuckling coldly, Candle Dragon Gui then continued, “Since now, if those Southern Wasteland Society or Great Dark Ocean Society’ kids dare to bully you again, you just kick their asses as hard as you can. In my whole life, I’ve never…eh, I’ve only been afraid of very few men.”
Candle Dragon Gui was going to proudly say that he had never been afraid of anyone in his whole life, but he changed his mind when abruptly saw Ji Hao. A bit helplessly, he said that he had only been afraid of very few men.
Shaosi glanced at Ji Hao, and Ji Hao nodded to her. Candle Dragon Gui could be a greatly strong backer. He was one of the oldest, monster-level Magi among the entire humankind Magi in the Pu Ban City. One could imagine how many people would beg for being his disciples With such a powerful backer, from now on, Shaosi and Taisi could only be the ones who bully others.
Slowly, Shaosi knelt in front of Candle Dragon Gui, seriously kowtowing to him.
Taisi was a bit dull, it seemed that he hadn’t yet realized what was happening. Ji Hao even guessed that till this very moment, Taisi still didn’t know what becoming Candle Dragon Gui’s disciple meant.
Ji Hao threw a kick on Taisi’s legs and put him down on the ground, then pressed his head down, heavily thudding against the ground for quite a few times. After Ji Hao did all this, Taisi finally realized what was happening at the time, and hurriedly learned to politely call Candle Dragon Gui ‘Shifu’, just as Shaoshi was doing.
Candle Dragon Gui smilingly nodded, and looking at Shaosi and Taisi who knelt on the ground, he gave a satisfying grin, then said, “Your family background…hm…good, good, wonderful… I finally found the perfect kids to pass on those heaven-shaking magic curses of mine.”
Candle Dragon Gui then turned his palms around. Two human-head sized, purely black pearls that had a crystal like luster appeared on each of his palms.
“These are two Candle Dragon spirit pearls!” Looking at the pair of pearls, Candle Dragon Gui said with a very serious face, “Each of your will have one. You will refine them with the spirit blood of your hearts and turn them into your spirit dragon pearls. In the future, you will naturally find out all kinds of benefits these pearls bring to you.”
Candle Dragon Gui then took a drop of spirit blood out from each of Taisi and Shaosi’ hearts, and dripped the blood drops on the two Candle Dragon pearls. Immediately after that, the two pearls transformed into two streams of dim light, and merged with Shaosi and Taisi’ bodies. Instantly, Ji Hao felt that the sense of presence of both Shaosi and Taisi had become extremely weak. When he widely opened his eyes and looked at them, he even felt the bodies of Shaosi and Taisi were in some kind of a hazy and shadowy state that he could hardly tell where they actually were.
Each Candle Dragon spirit pearl was condensed from an ancient Candle Dragon’s spirit power and soul power after the candle dragon fell; each Candle Dragon spirit pearl contained a heavenly great amount of power that equaled to over ninety percent of a living Candle Dragon’s power. Moreover, Candle Dragon spirit pearls also contained some unpredictable, magical and special powers. After a Magus merged a Candle Dragon spirit pearl with his or her body by the use of some kind of secret magic, he or she would gain one or numerous special abilities and special kinds of power that were contained in the Candle Dragon spirit pearl.
Ji Hao immediately gave a huge grin. Candle Dragon Gui had just willingly taken Shaosi and her brother Taisi as his disciples, which also meant that Candle Dragon Gui would take some big credit as well in full willingness. As for this credit, it could also be a huge blame to bear if one was to see from another aspect.
After having taken Shaosi and Taisi as his disciples, Candle Dragon Gui raised his eyelids, and glared at Ji Hao with that pair of sharp eyes.
“Kid, you’re the most cunning one. You are crafty, tricky, heartless and cruel. Among all Magi Palace’s kids, I think you’re the one with the greatest potential… I also like your personality the most.” said Candle Dragon Gui with a weird smile on his face, “Under your lead, Shaosi and Taisi will never fall into a disadvantageous situation, and I can worry less about them.”
Spreading his hands, Candle Dragon Gui grinned and continued, “Come, let me take a look at those four swords and the formation pattern. I would love to see them…and that old man with white beard you described…that old, damn bastard…that bloody backstabber…I hate these kind of people the most!”
Feng Xing, who squatted in a corner of the cave, couldn’t help but instantly quiver. ‘What? I didn’t sneakily attack you, why did you make it sound like me? How could you?’ showing the whites of his eyes, Feng Xing silently complained in his head.
Ji Hao smiled and nodded, taking out the four swords and the formation pattern given by Yu Yu.
As soon as Candle Dragon Gui took no more than a single glance at the four swords, huge streams of blood spurted out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nostrils simultaneously.
