Chapter 126: Prince of Jin Nation? My Grand-Disciple?

At this moment, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but be dumbstruck when he saw the Qingyun Dao Sect.

The entire Qingyun Dao Sect was surrounded by countless officials and soldiers, making it seem like there was a solemn event going on.

‘What’s going on?’

‘Is the palace ordering for a demolition?’

‘This is a damned loss.’

The first thing that came to Daoist Tai Hua’s mind was a demolition.

The people in front of him were clad in armor and looking extremely aggressive. They were obviously from the imperial court.

Generally speaking, the officials of the court would usually only show up when there was a serious case or demolition.

Daoist Tai Hua was confident that his disciples wouldn’t dare to get involved in any serious case, nor did they have the ability to.

Hence, demolition was the only possibility.

However, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t help but be upset when he thought that the sect was going to be demolished.

At this moment, Xu Luochen and Chen Lingrou suddenly walked over, looking a little anxious.

“Sect Leader!”

The two of them walked over and were somewhat at a loss for what to do.

“Keep your mouth shut.”

Daoist Tai Hua hurriedly spoke up before asking with an expectant look on his face, “How much per square meter? Is there at least 500?”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Master, it’s not a demolition. There’s just a big shot from the imperial court who claims to be your Grand-disciple.”

Chen Lingrou immediately understood what Daoist Tai Hua meant and quickly explained to him.

“Huh? It’s not a demolition?”

“My Grand-disciple?”

“Who’s that big shot? How authoritative is he?”

Daoist Tai Hua was dumbfounded.

‘Grand-disciple?’

‘Since when have I taken in a Grand-disciple?’

‘Did Su Changyu manage to deceive someone into becoming his disciple out there?’

‘This is not going to work. We can fool Ye Ping but not big shots as such. If he gets exposed, he’ll have his legs broken.’

“The Crown Prince of Jin Nation,” Chen Lingrou whispered slowly into Daoist Tai Hua’s ear.

Daoist Tai Hu inhaled sharply.

In the next moment, he was overwhelmed with shock.

‘The Crown Prince of Jin Nation!’

‘What kind of an existence is he?’

‘How dare Su Changyu cheat the Crown Prince of Jin Nation?’

‘Is he not afraid that his entire family will be killed?’

‘Oh dear.’

Daoist Tai Hua was in the midst of being dumbfounded.

One of the soldiers walked out.

“Grandmaster! Grandmaster! Greetings, Grandmaster.”

Li Yu dashed over excitedly from afar and greeted Daoist Tai Hua repeatedly, making the latter confused.

The Crown Prince of Jin Nation called him his Grandmaster.

In other words, wouldn’t he be of higher seniority than the king of Jin Nation?

If this were to get out, it would cause big trouble.

Daoist Tai Hua was in awe.

“Your Highness, don’t address me that way. I can’t accept it. I can’t accept it.”

Daoist Tai Hua instructed.

He was not being timid, but rather, Li Yu’s identity was too terrifying.

‘The Crown Prince of Jin Nation!’

To put it bluntly, the City Lord of Qingzhou seemed like a behemoth to him, what more the Crown Prince of Jin Nation.

The current Crown Prince was the future emperor of Jin Nation. If he dared to randomly assume connections with him, he would be courting death.

If he was capable, he would dare to acknowledge it, but the Qingyun Dao Sect was just an incompetent sect that. If the king of Jin Nation found out, he would be in hot soup.

Which father would want their child to hang out with a bunch of good-for-nothings all day?

At this point, Daoist Tai Hua asked with a look of misery, “Your Highness, who took you in as a disciple?”

If he knew who the culprit was, he would beat him up and then kick him out of the sect so as to settle things.

“Grandmaster, my master is Ye Ping, but we didn’t hold an official acknowledgment ceremony. I’m here to complete it today and visit Master at the same time.”

Li Yu hurriedly answered modestly and respectfully.

“Ye Ping?”

Daoist Tai Hua was stunned.

He really didn’t expect it to be Ye Ping who had accepted Li Yu as his disciple. It rendered Daoist Tai Hua speechless.

However, Daoist Tai Hua could make some sense of what was going on.

“You haven’t acknowledged him officially?”

Daoist Tai Hua was a little curious.

“Yeah, three years ago, I got to meet my master and at that time, he was well known in Qingzhou Ancient City. He goes by the name of Householder Qing Lian. I’ve always wanted to become his disciple, but he kept turning me down. However, I met Master by chance in Qingzhou Ancient City some time ago, and he said that I would be able to become his disciple as long as you agree, Grandmaster!”

Li Yu looked very excited.

At this juncture, he even clapped his hands.

In an instant, several boxes were carried towards them.

“Grandmaster, I really want to acknowledge Master, I hope you will agree. I didn’t know what gift to bring this time, so I brought a small token. I hope you can feel my sincerity.”

Li Yu even saluted and knelt on the ground, looking extremely sincere.

He really wanted Ye Ping to take him under his wing, even if he was just going to be an in-name disciple.

“No, no, no, no, I can’t. Your Highness, hear me out. We are actually just a bunch of…”

Hearing that Li Yu knew Ye Ping for a long time, Daoist Tai Hua felt a little relieved.

However, just as he was about to tell the truth, a box was suddenly opened.

In an instant, dense spiritual energy filled the air and was replaced by emerald green light.

This!

Superior-grade Spirit Stones!

Daoist Tai Hua was dumbfounded.

Xu Luochen and Chen Lingrou were also confused.

In their worldview, the division of currency was copper, silver nuggets, taels of silver, taels of gold, followed by inferior-grade Spirit Stones.

Having a few nuggets of silver was considered a joyous thing, let alone inferior-grade Spirit Stones.

However, the box of superior-grade Spirit Stones made them completely dumbfounded.

One superior-grade Spirit Stone was worth 10 middle-grade Spirit Stones while one middle-grade Spirit Stone was worth 10 inferior-grade Spirit Stones.

One inferior-grade Spirit Stone was equal to a hundred taels of gold. In other words, one superior-grade Spirit Stone was worth 10,000 taels of gold.

There were at least several thousand superior-grade Spirit Stones in this box.

There were ten boxes in total, which meant that there were tens of thousands of superior-grade Spirit Stones which were worth hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.

‘Oh my God!’

At this moment, Xu Luochen and Chen Lingrou continuously had one thought in mind.

They would never finish spending them!

Daoist Tai Hua held his breath.

Someone said that a 50% profit would make people not hesitate to take risks; a 100% profit would spur one to take desperate measures regardless of danger, while a 200% profit could make one forget about the fear of death.

Hundreds of thousands of taels of gold was an amount of money that Daoist Tai Hua would never be able to earn in his lifetime.

Even if Ye Ping made one painting a day and sold each one for 10,000 taels of gold, it would take him almost 30 years to earn that amount, assuming that there was no depreciation.

Daoist Tai Hua clenched his teeth at the thought of this.

He would take it on.

Success is proportional to bravery. If he failed, he would suffer the consequences alone, but if he succeeded, his disciples would enjoy life and he would be able to retire in advance too.

Daoist Tai Hua asked, “Your Highness, we are a group of advanced people, what are you doing?”

He came back to his senses and stared at Li Yu.

In the next moment, before Li Yu could say anything, Daoist Tai Hua continued to speak.

“However…”

As soon as Daoist Tai Hua started to speak, Ye Ping interrupted him.

“Li Yu! Why are you here?”

“Sect Leader, you’re back!”

“Second Senior Brother, Little Senior Sister.”

He interrupted Daoist Tai Hua.
