It seed as if the sunlight had just fallen into the hall, only to be completely devoured by it.
"Co here!!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard from one side again.
Upon hearing it, Jiang Ning walked towards the source of the sound and then pushed open the two tightly closed doors.
A handso man in green robes was seen, one hand on his knee, the other dealing with docunts on the desk.
Hearing the commotion at the door, the man in green robes looked up at Jiang Ning, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"You’re here!"
"Greetings, Master Xiao!" Jiang Ning imdiately bowed and saluted.
"How did you know I am Xiao Wuque?" the man in green robes asked with a slight smile.
"Who else besides Master Xiao could have such deanor!" Jiang Ning replied.
"Haha!" Xiao Wuque laughed upon hearing this.
Then he put down the booklet in his hand and shook his head: "It’s rare for soone as talented and famous as you to say such flattering words!"
With that, he imdiately got up: "You must have awakened the innate wisdom of several lives?"
Seeing Xiao Wuque’s serious expression, Jiang Ning hesitated for a mont, then nodded.
"How many Blood Exchanges have you completed?" Xiao Wuque asked again.
"Eight tis!" Jiang Ning answered truthfully.
"Eight tis?" A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Wuque’s eyes: "It seems the old man was right when he said you’re the most talented of this era."
"Who is this person Master Xiao refers to?" Jiang Ning asked curiously.
"Sit down and let’s talk!" Xiao Wuque gestured for Jiang Ning to sit at the tea table beside him.
Then the two of them sat down.
"Do you want wine or wine?" Xiao Wuque asked again.
"Master Xiao, is there a difference?" Jiang Ning asked.
Xiao Wuque laughed heartily: "The forr is strong wine, and the latter is still strong wine!"
Jiang Ning: "..."
He couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless, then said: "I’ll just have wine."
With that,
"Catch this!" Xiao Wuque pulled a bottle of wine from under the table and tossed it to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning reached out and caught it, and Xiao Wuque pulled out another bottle of wine.
When he uncorked it, a strong aroma of wine imdiately filled the air.
In the next mont.
Xiao Wuque took a hearty swig, his face turning red.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ning imdiately realized how strong the wine was.
Because this was Xiao Wuque.
The Closed-door Disciple of the Martial Saint who has suppressed the world for over eight hundred years.
Also said to be the one most likely to beco the second Martial Saint.
In terms of Martial Arts strength, Xiao Wuque is also the top of this era.
With such strength, his physique is incredibly powerful.
Ordinary strong wine wouldn’t even cause Xiao Wuque to blush. Drinking it would be no different than drinking water for soone like Xiao Wuque.
With this thought,
Jiang Ning imdiately took a small sip.
Suddenly, the clear wine went down his throat, instantly turning into flas.
One half surged upward, rushing to the crown of his head.
The other raged downward, as if to burn his internal organs.
After one breath, the fierce power of the wine was finally digested by him.
"How is it?" Xiao Wuque asked.
"Good wine!" Jiang Ning nodded, then said: "I can see that Master Xiao truly loves wine!"
"You’re right in saying that!" Xiao Wuque nodded, then took another swig, looking intoxicated.
Then, he opened his eyes again and said: "When I was young, I was a complete wine enthusiast. Every ti I got drunk, practicing martial arts would lead to great progress, all martial arts mysteries in this state would no longer exist."
"So why hasn’t the Master been drinking much lately?" Jiang Ning asked.
"There’s no choice, too much pressure!" Xiao Wuque shook his head.
"Master has noble intentions, I admire you!" Jiang Ning raised his bottle of wine in respect.
"You’re a good kid, keen and insightful, and you certainly deserve my previous high regard for you! No wonder that old man also thought so highly of you!" Xiao Wuque said with a smile, holding his wine bottle up to clink with Jiang Ning’s before taking another satisfying sip.
Hearing once again about the mysterious person Xiao Wuque ntioned.
"Master Xiao, who is this old man you’re referring to? Could you tell ?" Jiang Ning asked again.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuque laughed heartily.
Then said: "I can tell you’re very curious!"
"I am indeed curious!" Jiang Ning said.
Xiao Wuque nodded and then said: "An old blind man from the Observatory, who has guarded the Observatory for three hundred years and can observe the world without stepping outside of his ho. As for his na, I do not know."
"Is this old man the one in charge of the Observatory?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Yes!" Xiao Wuque nodded: "That old blind man was appointed by the ancestors, and to this day, the position of the Observatory remains with him."
"Thank you, Master Xiao, for clearing things up!" Jiang Ning raised his wine bottle in gratitude.
Seeing this, Xiao Wuque laughed heartily.
"You understand !"
Then Xiao Wuque took another big sip.
"The Third Senior Brother ca back a few days ago and told about you!" Xiao Wuque said again.
"Martial King is a very easygoing elder!" Jiang Ning said.
"That’s to you!" Xiao Wuque laughed and shook his head, continuing: "My Senior Brother sizes people up, and won’t even spare a glance for diocrity. You’ve earned his recognition, hence feeling my Third Senior Brother is easy to get along with!"
Jiang Ning said: "Isn’t that the way with everyone in the world? It’s just that the Martial King is more straightforward, doesn’t bother with appearances, or rather he disdains such superficiality."
Then, he continued: "I once heard a saying, when you’re successful, everyone around you is a good person."
Hearing Jiang Ning’s words, Xiao Wuque nodded slightly.
"What you say is true! If you were an ordinary person, I wouldn’t be treating you like this."
"But what you say is the norm, yet so people, even in your hardest tis, will remain loyal. Such people are the most lovable and worth serious commitnt."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded.
"My elder brother and sister-in-law are such people!"
"A few years ago, when I was idle at ho, freeloading for many years without contributing, my elder brother never held any grudges. He always believed I would succeed in the future."
"My sister-in-law would only nag , but she took care of all day-to-day living, clothing, food, and lodging. When clothes were dirty, she washed them; when clothes were torn, she sewed them up."
Recalling past mories, Jiang Ning’s eyes inevitably showed so warmth.
At this mont,
Xiao Wuque also noticed the change in Jiang Ning’s expression and nodded secretly.
What people fear most is a thankless ingrate.
The most willing to help are those who are grateful, discerning, and talented people.
From this simple conversation, and with his previous investigations and understanding of Jiang Ning, he had a good grasp of the situation.
Then he spoke again: "How many lifetis of innate wisdom have you awakened now through the True Spirit Nine Transformations Blood Exchange thod?"
Hearing this, having already admitted before, Jiang Ning no longer concealed.
"Two lifetis!"
"Two lifetis?" Xiao Wuque was stunned, looking at Jiang Ning with a surprised expression.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning nodded again: "Only two lifetis’ mories have awakened."
"No wonder... no wonder!!!" Xiao Wuque sighed.
"Master, is there a reason for this?" Jiang Ning asked in confusion.
He knew his insight was limited and pales compared to soone like Xiao Wuque, standing at the pinnacle.
His understanding of this world’s principles was shallow due to his low starting point.
Xiao Wuque looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Do you know what the origin of life is?"
"True Spirit!" Jiang Ning replied.
"Correct!" Xiao Wuque nodded in agreent, then said: "The origin of all life emanates from True Spirit, and the True Spirit Mark is also the initial origin of life. As long as the True Spirit doesn’t perish, no matter the reincarnation across hundreds of lifetis, whether male or female, bird or beast, you remain yourself!"
"Hence, the concept of reincarnation and rebirth exists."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning said: "So, are the reincarnated bodies of those Buddha and Taoist ancestors real?"
Xiao Wuque said: "I can’t tell if they’re real! Only they know! But even if they are true, it certainly won’t be a complete True Spirit reincarnation, at most, a fragnt!"
"Because if it were a complete True Spirit Mark reincarnation, such beings would break the limitations of the earthly environnt, having long ascended to indescribable, incomprehensible levels! How could they remain so commonplace now?"
