Chapter 390: Chapter 269: Seeing Zhi Rui Again, Unable to Calculate
“Zhirui, what brings you such joy?”
A venerable elder with a white beard, exuding an air of immortality, asked from across Lin Zhirui.
“Friends from afar bring joy to the heart.”
Lin Zhirui, folding up his Jade pass, replied with a smile.
“Oh, I wonder which young talent it is this time?”
The curiosity of the ethereal elder was piqued by the smile on Lin Zhirui’s face.
This disciple of his, though seemingly indifferent and amiable to everyone,
in reality, held himself in high esteem, rarely paying regard to ordinary individuals.
So, he was indeed curious as to who could make his most distinguished disciple so delighted.
“Master should be familiar with him. He is Chen Songqing, that elder from Cang State whom I’ve mentioned before.”
“Oh, is it the one you mentioned who possesses the Merit Light, an Innate Realm Expert?”
Interest immediately lit up in the elder’s eyes.
“Exactly. More than two years ago, I gave Elder Chen a Jade Token, thinking he would e to Central State in the following year or two, but he only arrived now.”
“He must have sensed the changes in the heaven and earth, hence ing to Central State,” guessed the elder.
After the changes, the spiritual energy recovery was the most drastic in Central State.
Any discerning Innate Realm individual would certainly not want to miss such an opportunity.
“Perhaps, I just wonder whether his disciple, the young friend Lu Qing, has e with him.” Lin Zhirui said.
“Is that the youth who, with only a Muscle Bone Realm body, defeated a Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Tiancai Sect?”
“Exactly, that youth is exceptionally talented in martial arts. I wonder if he has stepped into the Innate Realm after these two years.”
Lin Zhirui recalled Lu Qing’s indifferent demeanor.
That young man was one of the most mysterious individuals he had ever encountered.
Moreover, he was the only person he couldn’t see through after taking charge of the Exotic Treasure.
“Master, Elder Chen must have already arrived nearby. I need to go and wele him, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish this game of chess with you.”
“Go ahead. The situation in the city is tense right now; having such a benevolent and strong figure around is indeed fortunate,” said the ethereal elder.
Lin Zhirui thought about the recent events in the Holy City and felt a slight anxiety.
He felt it necessary to discuss the city’s situation with the elder doctor later, to prevent him from unknowingly getting involved in the turmoil.
“Master, this should be the place.”
Lu Qing looked up at the towering tower and the seven-star symbol identical to that on Tianji Building in Azure Dragon City, and spoke.
“Hmm, I can feel it; the fluctuations received by the Jade Token also e from here,” the elder doctor nodded.
Ma Gu asked, “How should we enter? Do I need to send in a visiting card?”
“No need.” Lu Qing’s expression suddenly brightened with a smile, “An old friend is already ing out to meet us.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in plain clothes emerged from the tower.
Who could it be but Lin Zhi Rui, whom they had not seen for over two years?
“Isn’t it a joy to have friends e from afar?”
Lin Zhirui’s demeanor was gentler than two years ago, and he greeted them with a smile.
“Elder Chen, young friend Lu Qing, it’s been over two years, how have you been?”
“Long time no see, Zhirui,” Elder Chen smiled.
“Thanks to Mr. Zhirui’s blessings, all is well,” Lu Qing bowed slightly.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhirui.”
Ma Gu and Wei Zian also paid their respects.
Especially Wei Zian, who was profoundly respectful.
He knew that if it weren’t for Mr. Zhirui’s intervention back then, their Wei Family might have ceased to exist.
“Young Master Wei is here too?” Lin Zhirui was surprised to see Wei Zian, “Is Elder Wei Shanhai still well?”
“The patriarch is still robust. He especially asked me to send his regards to Mr. Zhirui,” Wei Zian said respectfully.
“Elder Wei Shanhai is too polite.”
Lin Zhirui subtly observed Lu Qing and the elder doctor.
Having not seen them for over two years, Lu Qing had grown quite a bit taller and even more handsome, while the elder doctor looked unchanged, still that old figure.
However, what truly startled Lin Zhirui was that he could not see through the Cultivation Realms of Lu Qing and the elder doctor.
Even when he covertly used the power of the Exotic Treasure, he still gained nothing.
This shocking revelation was almost unbelievable to him.
After all, he was now at the peak of the Initial Innate Realm, barely a step away from the Minor Success Realm.
Let alone that over these two years, through constant refinement day and night, he had fully mastered the Exotic Treasure bestowed by his sect.
Yet, he could not discern the Cultivation Realms of the teacher and disciple duo.
Was their Cultivation so advanced that it was beyond his reach, or did they carry an Exotic Treasure on them that pletely blocked his attempts to probe?
Turbulence stirred in Lin Zhirui’s heart.
Yet, he maintained posure on his face, continuing to chat with Lu Qing and the others.
After some pleasantries, Lin Zhirui suddenly slapped his forehead, “Look at me, getting too excited and neglecting my manners. Please, e with me inside.”
He then started to lead Lu Qing and the others into the tower.
“Mr. Zhirui, what about our carriage?” Ma Gu asked.
“That’s alright.”
As Lin Zhirui was about to make arrangements, he suddenly noticed the carriage of Lu Qing and his group, momentarily taken aback.
“Elder Chen, your horses…”
“On the way here, a few nights ago, a celestial phenomenon occurred suddenly, showering down countless beams of moonlight, and these two creatures were fortunate enough to receive two beams, transforming them thus.”
