Chapter 10 Establishing a Power — Ziwei Palace
Soon, under Zhou Chen's encouragement, Tang San, who had already been won over by Yu Xiaogang's spirit theory, immediately knelt down to acknowledge him as a teacher.
This made Yu Xiaogang quite excited.
For so many years, this was the first time someone was willing to be the student of a "piece of trash" like him, and moreover, this student was a genius possessing Twin Spirits.
The excited Yu Xiaogang said no more. He pulled Tang San along and ran, registering Tang San's student status at extremely fast speed, sending Tang San to the student dormitory, and even getting him a set of luggage.
After finishing all this, the Grandmaster finally paid attention to Zhou Chen, who had been following alongside with a smile the whole time.
"Little friend, what is your name?" Yu Xiaogang smiled gently.
"Zhou Chen. The Chen in stardust (Xingchen)."
Zhou Chen said with a calm expression. Without Tang San by his side, he couldn't be bothered to pretend to be a child.
Hearing these words, Yu Xiaogang nodded and asked again: "You are also six years old this year, do you not intend to come to Nuoding Academy for school? I can take you as a disciple along with him."
"Apologies, Grandmaster, I am afraid you cannot teach me yet." Zhou Chen smiled gently, but the meaning in his words was direct and sharp.
"Alright." The rejected Yu Xiaogang was slightly embarrassed.
Raising his handsome little face, Zhou Chen looked at Yu Xiaogang and slowly said: "I came this time actually for one other matter, which was also entrusted to me by my family elders."
"What matter?" Yu Xiaogang was somewhat doubtful.
"A matter concerning you."
Zhou Chen smiled, his tone leisurely as he said: "I heard that you are a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, but because of a malicious spirit mutation, you have been unable to break through Rank 30 for your entire life and were expelled from the family..."
"Wait, what do you want to say?"
Yu Xiaogang could not help but shout.
Suddenly having the scars in his heart uncovered, the fact that he did not strike out directly showed his super strong endurance.
"What I want to say is that our family treasures a type of pill that can cure the defects of your spirit and allow you to break through Rank 30."
Although Zhou Chen's tone was flat, every word spoken was like a sledgehammer striking heavily on Yu Xiaogang's heart, making his blood surge.
"Is... what you say true?"
Yu Xiaogang said with trembling lips.
"Of course it is true; I have already brought the pill."
Zhou Chen nodded, reached into the silk pouch at his waist, and took out a brocade box. Opening the brocade box, inside was a mutton-fat jade bottle.
"Pop!"
Pulling out the cork, a strange fragrance instantly permeated the air. Immediately after, Zhou Chen poured out a pill the size of a longan, upon which purple energy was enshrouding.
"This..."
Just by smelling the pill's fragrance, Yu Xiaogang suddenly discovered that the shackle keeping his spirit power forever at Rank 29 actually began to loosen!
His spirit power actually had a slight increase!
This pill was likely truly effective!
Feeling that there was hope, the Grandmaster was instantly so excited he could hardly control himself, and his whole body began to tremble!
Seeing Yu Xiaogang so excited and eager, Zhou Chen made a 'V' sign in his heart.
The fish had finally taken the bait!
"Grandmaster, this pill is named the Ziwei Realm-Breaking Pill. Legend has it that it was refined by a deity. It has been treasured by my family for generations, for over ten thousand years by now. I presumably do not need to say much about its preciousness."
Zhou Chen fabricated a story, then spoke the truth: "This pill has only one effect, which is to allow a Spirit Master to ignore any obstacles and increase their spirit power by one rank."
Pausing for a moment, Zhou Chen said in a tone full of temptation: "In other words, as long as you take this pill, you can break through Rank 30!"
Hearing Zhou Chen's introduction, the Grandmaster instantly felt a rush of blood to his head.
However, he was not a fool and naturally understood that pies would not fall from the sky! This mysterious family behind Zhou Chen definitely had demands.
Thus, the Grandmaster asked decisively: "Zhou Chen, I wish to obtain this pill, but I am afraid I must pay a price. Speak, what is your family's requirement?"
"My elders hope that you can pledge allegiance to us."
Zhou Chen did not hide it anymore either. "We need you to help us train hundreds or thousands of Spirit Masters."
"What?"
Hearing Zhou Chen's requirement, Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded.
He never expected that the family behind Zhou Chen would actually have such a big appetite!
Not only requiring his loyalty but also wanting to use him to train Spirit Masters on a large scale; what did they want to do?
Did they want to break the peaceful pattern of the Spirit Master world that had lasted for a hundred years, or did they want to rebel against the Heaven Dou Empire?
Yu Xiaogang instantly felt that he had been swept into a massive vortex.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang looking troubled, Zhou Chen did not urge him either, just quietly waiting. He believed that if a man does not look out for himself, Heaven and Earth will destroy him; Yu Xiaogang could not possibly refuse such a great benefit!
Sure enough, after struggling for a long time, Yu Xiaogang still could not resist the temptation. He said with a hoarse voice: "I can help you train Spirit Masters, but the prerequisite is that you must tell me the origin of your family!"
"Impossible. We are a hidden family. If we casually tell others our origin, how can we remain hidden?" Zhou Chen spread his small hands and rejected him directly.
"However,"
Changing the subject, Zhou Chen continued: "I can tell you the name of a public organization we established."
"What name?"
"Ziwei Palace!"
