Chapter 151 Chapter 151
"Tell me Lai Peng... do you want to become a cultivator like me?" Old Peng heard the words of his master and he could not help but tremble a little. What was a cultivator?
That was someone who has gone against the will of heavens and constantly defied the basic laws in this xianxia world.
One good example for this was of course how his Young Master Lu Chen had turned into a very youthful man from the ugly wrinkled old goat that he had once been.
"If you would grant me that gift, master... then I would be willing to follow in your footsteps until the end of time! Your faithful slave wants to be a cultivator!"
Old Peng bowed deeply in accordance to the words that he'd spoken.
"Very well, Lai Peng. I will impart a secret technique unto you. Learn it well and I'm sure that you will one day become a famous cultivator of this continent!"
Clark proclaimed and sent his divine sense towards the inner consciousness of his old servant. He imparted a technique called Heaven Destruction Palm.
This was of course a low level technique he purchased from the system and one he had freely given directly into the mind of Old Peng.
With this, even without much practice and training on the said technique, Old Peng could easily use the Heaven Destruction Palm to its full capacity.
With this in hand, Old Peng could even defeat a 10th Stage Mortal Shedding Realm Expert.
"THUD!" Old Peng was forced to sit in a lotus position as he tried to engrave all the teachings of the technique unto his memory.
Time seemed inconsequential while one old man closed his eyes from everything else but himself.
'A good servant like you, Lai Peng should have its fitting reward also.' Clark mused and a breath later, he waved his hand over the immovable form of Old Peng.
And a great change happened that was obviously invisible to the naked eyes.
Old Peng's flesh and bones were blessed by divine power and the likely consequence for such an event was of course the birth of a spiritual vein inside the body of the loyal servant.
Alas, it would have been better if Old Peng could have realized what has happened to him at the moment but our bored gamer has chosen instead to be subtle about his gifts.
Old Peng would have to know of this truth sooner or later but that time was definitely not tonight.
"Is there no other way, Nancy?" Clark asked out loud.
He was not concerned at all if Lai Peng were to hear him right now since the old man was busy receiving the secret technique in bits and pieces.
Old Peng could not have noticed anything around him simply because of this particular reason in play.
"Negative, host. The spiritual veins that can be purchased inside the system shop cannot be given unto others aside from your own use.
What the system can give is material products such as armors and weapons. Same with its secret techniques and manuals.
She could not think of any viable reason for this thing to happen unto Lai Peng without an equivalent sacrifice behind the change.
"Why have you wasted a precious item on your servant? This loss definitely does not equal its outcome." Ze Min could only shake her head in lament.
She has quite envied Old Peng at the moment and it could be seen in how she looked at the middle aged man who kept his silence on the side.
Even though he had already become a true cultivator at the 1st Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm but that did not follow that he has also forgotten his station in life.
Old Peng would forever treat himself as the most faithful servant of his master.
"Precious item, eh? Indeed! I have given my good servant a very precious item.
But in my opinion, no amount of earthly and heavenly treasures combined could equal the worth of Lai Peng in my life."
Our bored gamer nodded as he looked at Old Peng with satisfaction in his eyes. This aged servant slave has really not disappointed Clark. Not once!
"FOOL!" Tang Xinyue mocked in front but it was all for naught because it fell to nothing but deaf ears.
Instead of indulging the combative vigor of his ex fiancee, Clark chose to be focused on something else.
"Tell the rest to prepare our dinner, Lai Peng. I'm starved. I will go down after I finish one last business for the night."
Our bored gamer ordered unto the middle aged man that was Old Peng.
"Mistress Wan Fei and Princess Ning Xi have begun cooking earlier, master. But i will tell them your words."
Old Peng bowed and walked away from the scene in order to do what he was told.
Silence reigned in the trio of souls that was left in the halls until our good gamer has also chosen to break it in full after a few breaths.
"Very well... It's time to conclude things between us. Come with me inside, Xinyue."
Clark looked at one of the women in the table and there was a flash of gentleness in his eyes for a moment.
There was no point in hiding it because he knew that Tang Xinyue also knew at this time that there was still a lot to be said for each other.
No matter how this night ended, Clark would make it certain that he will have no regrets whatsoever upon its conclusion.
"THUD!" The double doors closed and beyond it was the waiting figure of our patient protagonist.
"Don't go, Big Sis." Flower Goddess Ze Min advised when she saw that Tang Xinyue stood up in response.
"Don't worry, Ze Min. If he tries anything funny, we'll be sure to beat him up that even his whores downstairs would not be able to recognize him.
In fact, I won't even need any help from you because i alone am enough to pulverize his face into black, red, and blue."
Tang Xinyue laughed for a moment and then bravely entered the lion's den.
