When Yi Yun asked about her results, Luo Huo’er’s face sank. Her results were much more inferior. Saying it out would just show how bad she was compared to Yi Yun.
“Huo’er, do you know your result?” Yuehua asked Luo Huo’er with a smile.
Luo Huo’er reluctantly nodded, “I probably filled 138 fine rune paths perfectly. 20 fine rune paths were not completely filled, and the remaining 24 fine rune paths were left completely empty…”
Luo Huo’er accurately mentioned her own results. Yuehua nodded, “That’s right! Huo’er’s energy control score is 296 points, but Yi Yun managed to get a perfect score, which is 364 points. Although for energy filling, Yi Yun’s results were not stunning, but just his energy control already got him first place!”
“Yi Yun, was it really…your first time coming into contact with the Desolate Heaven technique?” Yuehua looked at Yi Yun with sparkling eyes.
Here it came!
Yi Yun took a deep breath and still nodded, “Yes! It was the first time this junior came into contact with the Desolate Heaven technique.”
“Oh?” Yuehua’s eyes flashed. This gaze was blinding! She clearly doubted Yi Yun’s words!
“But…”
Yi Yun quickly added on, “Although this junior doesn’t know the Desolate Heaven technique, I have received some pointers from an expert for energy extraction!”
To fool a person like Yuehua, Yi Yun had to mix some truths with some lies. If they were all lies, Yuehua would easily see through it.
“Expert? May I know what his name is?”
Yuehua became interested. An expert, who could find a genius like Yi Yun, was no ordinary person.
“This…” Yi Yun faltered slightly and appeared hesitant. “He did not tell this junior whether I could reveal his name, so this junior would rather not say it. But, he had left this junior a book…This book describes many experiences related to energy extraction.”
Yi Yun mixed truths with lies and took out a black scroll.
This was the Desolate Heaven Master notebook that Su Jie had given to Lin Xintong. The first scroll amongst the 18 scrolls of Su Jie’s Desolate Heaven Master notebook described energy control!
Because energy control was the foundation of the Desolate Heaven technique, it was only right for it to be described in the first scroll.
About half a year ago, Lin Xintong had left Yi Yun this notebook before she left. They had agreed on a two year period. Back then, Lin Xintong had said, “In two years, if you can understand the most basic hand seals and energy control…then I will aid you in learning the Desolate Heaven technique.”
“Oh? This scroll…”
Seeing Su Jie’s scroll, Yuehua’s pupils shrank. “Can I take a look?”
When Yuehua asked, Yi Yun hesitated. It was, after all, something Lin Xintong had given him. It was not nice to just give it to others.
Yuehua naturally understood Yi Yun’s hesitation. She was not angered, and in fact, felt that what he did was appropriate. She laughed, “I will not look at the contents in the scroll.”
With that, Yi Yun handed the scroll over to Yuehua.
Yuehua gave the scroll a look and her expression turned complicated, “It’s really him…”
Yuehua gave off a light sigh. It was as if she had recalled something. She handed the scroll back to Yi Yun and said, “I see…I didn’t expect that you would have received pointers from him…”
“I had originally wanted to ask if you would want to be taken in by me as a disciple, but I did not expect you to already have a master.”
Yuehua grimaced deep down. She had seen two pieces of jade , Yi Yun and Luo Huo’er. However, due to Luo Huo’er’s mysterious background, it was likely that she had a master. Even Yi Yun, a commoner who came from the Cloud Wilderness, had a master.
It was quite ironic that with her status, there would be numerous people wishing to be taken in as disciples if she wanted to, yet when she wanted to taken in Yi Yun and Luo Huo’er as personal disciples, she could not take them in.
Yuehua felt that their talents were rare and they would have a great future ahead of them. When she compared them to her two other disciples, her disciples were inferior.
After some thought, Yuehua let out a sigh and said, “Are you two willing to acknowledge me as a quasi-master?”
Quasi-master?
Yi Yun was slightly stunned. In this world, there were a few types of masters.
Firstly, there was the late master. Due to chancing upon some opportunities and receiving the heritage from a dead person, such a master was known as a late master. For example, in Yi Yun’s gaining of saber truth insight in the saber tomb, the saber tomb’s owner was Yi Yun’s late master.
Secondly, there was a master. A disciple would go through a formal ceremony to acknowledge a master. Typically, there was only one such master under normal circumstances.
There were exceptions. When one’s strength exceeded one’s master, the master-disciple relationship would be automatically be relieved, allowing one to find another master.
