It was a thin, little old man. His hair and beard were messy, but the most amazing thing about him was the blood-red gem embedded in between his eyebrows. It sparkled under the everlasting lamps in the hall.
The old man was wearing a large gray robe. He was comfortably reclining on a lounge chair and his eyes were half-squinted, as if he was almost falling asleep due to the comfort.
There was a plate containing crystal-like grapes on a table beside him.
The little old man would occasionally reach out to pick up a grape lazily and put it in his mouth. He looked like he was enjoying himself a lot.
“Senior, you are also here?” Yi Yun was surprised. He had seen this old man before. The blood red gem in the middle of the old man’s eyebrows had left a deep impression on Yi Yun.
Back when Yi Yun went to the Wilderness Divine Hall to absorb the primordial species’ energy, he had met this old man when he came out of the divine hall. He had attacked Yi Yun without any warning, and had defeated him with one move. He had even reprimanded Yi Yun, telling him how terrible his saber skills were.
Back then, this little old man had recommended Yi Yun to go to the Sword Scar Palace. And when Yi Yun really came here, he did not expect to run into him.
The old man opened his eyes and glanced at Yi Yun. He laughed and said, “Kid, you finally thought of my place?”
“Paying my respects to the senior.” Yi Yun cupped his hands and bowed. “I’m here to gain insights from the sage saber scars.”
“Saber scars? Hehe!” The old man plucked another grape and threw it into his mouth. He shook his head and said, “Gaining insight from saber scars… Do you know where the deepest saber scar abstractions are in the Sword Scar Palace?”
Yi Yun shook his head after being questioned by the old man, “I do not.”
The old man chuckled, as if he had predicted Yi Yun’s answer. He said, “Let me take you to a good place. I guarantee you that it will be extremely beneficial to you!”
Hearing the old man’s words, Yi Yun was overjoyed. It could not get any better with someone giving him pointers.
“Thank you, Senior.”
“Heh, it’s no big deal!” The old man waved his hand, before suddenly remembering something, “Right…”
The old man stretched his right hand before Yi Yun and pinched his thumb and index finger. He gave a wretched-looking smile, “Did you bring enough dragon scale runes? The place I am taking you to will charge an additional fee.”
