Chapter 103 Spring Rain

"Why did you agree to him?" The youth looked at his right arm and then turned to look at the old man in green who was busy working on the medicine jar.

"What?" Hearing this, the old man looked up at him, but his attention was still on his medicine jar.

The youth frowned. He didn't believe that the old man really didn't understand what he was asking.

"I only believe in Canghai Liu's vision. I believe that the people he likes are not far off." The old man, who seemed to have read the dissatisfaction in the youth's heart, suddenly said while lowering his head and fiddling with the medicine jar.

"Just because of this, you are willing to accept me as your disciple?" However, such an answer did not satisfy the youth. At that time, his brows furrowed even deeper.

The old man raised his head and grinned. There were a few missing teeth in his mouth.

"Of course not." The old man put down the medicine jar in his hand and poured out a strand of clear water from the gourd beside him into the medicine jar.

"That right arm of yours is an amazing thing. If it really succeeds, perhaps you can do a lot more things that I can't do."

"What is it?" The youth's eyebrows suddenly stretched out.

The most terrifying person in this world is always the one who asks for nothing, because behind all the requests for nothing, there must be a greater request.

In the end, everyone in this world had their own plans.

However, the youth's question was not answered. The old man shook his head with a smile and continued to work on the medicine jar.

"Why didn't you say it?" The youth was a little puzzled. Since he had some requests, why didn't he say anything? He had always been a person who would definitely repay his debts. As long as the old man said something, he could do it. Even if it was extremely dangerous, he would still give it a try.

"There are some things in this world that you can't accomplish just because you have the ability."

"If you want to do it…"

"Only then is it possible."

"This world is so big, but you've seen too little."

"Let's go and take a look. Perhaps what you want to do is exactly what I want to do. Isn't it beautiful for you?"

"What if I don't want to do it?" The youth asked again.

"Then consider me saving a life. Isn't it beautiful for me?" The old man smiled.

…

"Headmaster, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Sitting on the stone bench in the small porch window, Xu Han looked at the jade pendant in front of him that had several more cracks, and his expression was gloomy.

That was the life talisman that the Headmaster had left him before he left. As he said, once the jade pendant on the life talisman was completely shattered, it would be the day of his death. But now, it seemed that this day was not too far away.

"What are you thinking, kid?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him.

Xu Han was very vigilant and subconsciously put the jade pendant into his arms. Then, he turned around and saw a figure wearing a black robe with white eyebrows and black hair.

"Headmaster?" Xu Han frowned and put down most of the vigilance in his heart, but he couldn't help but secretly curse, "This Sect Leader is always so mysterious."

"How is your recovery?" Ning Zhumang squinted his eyes and impolitely sat beside Xu Han as he sized up the youth in front of him.

Hearing this, Xu Han rolled his eyes at Ning Zhumang. With Ning Zhumang's cultivation, how could he not see through his injuries that had invaded the horizons of the medical profession for so many years? With such a speechless attitude, there was probably no need for him to help.

Ning Zhumang saw from Xu Han's eyes that his abacus didn't seem to be good enough. He smiled awkwardly and said, "The matter of Yan Lai City a few days ago has probably been investigated more or less."

"Oh?" Xu Han raised his eyebrows and became interested.

"The previous actions against the Linglong Pavilion in Great Zhou were all done by the Long Night Division to distract our attention from Yanlai City, but the real purpose was to cover up the appearance of this flood dragon." Naturally, Ning Zhumang did not intend to conceal it, and immediately began to speak.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Xu Han was somewhat puzzled. The flood dragon was truly powerful, but it was clearly not under anyone's control. For this reason, the Dark Asura Palace had even lost two black-and-white Impermanence and a red-robed Judge. Although he knew that the Longevity Division had always been related to the Dark Asura Palace, he did not know what benefits the two of them would gain from hiding the news of the flood dragon's birth.

"That flood dragon is not an ordinary flood dragon. It is a demon dragon cultivated by the Dark Asura Palace with their demon refining techniques and Gu Raising techniques." Ning Zhumang said.

"Is that different from an ordinary flood dragon?" Xu Han asked.

"A little violent, a little bloodthirsty, a little unconscious." Ning Zhumang said slowly.

"Then why did the Dark Asura Palace and the Longevity Division want to hide this information? What use does this demonic dragon have to them?" Xu Han still did not understand what had caused the other party to take such a dangerous step.

"Haha." At that time, Ning Zhumang smiled, "But no matter what, there is one thing that is the same. They all have dragon qi in their bodies!"

"Dragon Qi?" Xu Han's expression changed, but he never thought that they were doing it for the sake of the so-called Dragon Qi. "What exactly is that?"

One had to know that Xu Han had absorbed quite a bit of Dragon Qi in his Golden Core to resist the flood dragon that day, but he was unable to use it. Furthermore, the ancient texts he had consulted were vague about the use of Dragon Qi. This made Xu Han very puzzled. Now that he heard Ning Zhumang's words, he felt that perhaps the Sect Leader knew something.

Ning Zhumang also recognized Xu Han's peculiar tone. He raised his eyes to look at the youth, but continued, "Dragon Qi has many names, such as Purple Qi and Emperor Qi!"

'"Legend has it that the Creator of Heaven and Earth is destined to become a ruler of this world with the addition of Dragon Qi. However, this thing is extremely strange. If the Heavens and Earth approve of it, they will naturally have Dragon Qi coming to their door. If they cannot accept it, then even if they absorb it, they will only explode and die."

After saying those words, Xu Han's expression immediately changed.

"Ordinary people can't absorb dragon energy. Is there no exception in this world?"

"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be." Ning Zhumang's brows furrowed at that moment. "But after thinking about what Senluo Palace and Longevity Division have done, it is obvious that they are going for this dragon qi. I'm afraid that Zhu Xian has found some incredible techniques and has an unsubordinate heart."

This conversation was extremely shocking to Xu Han.

Let go of the Dark Asura Palace and the Long Night Division's conspiracy. He, Xu Han, did not cultivate any techniques, but why was he able to absorb the Dragon Qi? This was enough to make Xu Han's heart gloomy. Or could it be said that the golden core created by the purple ball of light was hiding something mysterious?

Xu Han wanted to find out, but if he continued asking, it would appear that he was hiding his ears and stealing the bell. If he didn't keep it together, it would arouse Ning Zhumang's suspicion.

Therefore, he sunk his mind and looked at Ning Zhumang. He asked very seriously, "What exactly do you want to know from me when you tell me this?"

Xu Han wasn't stupid. Although the news about the Dragon Qi was extremely important to Xu Han, he knew very well that Ning Zhumang had told him about these things that could be called Xin Mi. It wasn't a whim, so he had to ask for something.

Ning Zhumang was accustomed to Xu Han's temperament. He said indifferently, "The Long Night Division and Dark Asura Palace are working together to subvert Great Zhou. Since you are from Dark Asura Palace, you must know something about Dark Asura Palace. I hope you can tell me about it."

At this moment, the usually unrestrained Sect Leader's tone suddenly became extremely serious, causing Xu Han to be stunned.

"When did the Jianghu people start to interfere in the court's affairs?" However, Xu Han did not answer Ning Zhumang's question immediately. Instead, he asked with interest.

'"In the end, the Jianghu Imperial Court is the Great Zhou Empire. Rong or not, but the decline is destined to be the same. The Xia Empire's pillar, Cui Ting, has been stationing troops outside the Sword Dragon Pass for a long time. How could it be a show? The Great Zhou Empire, a mess filled with gold and jade, has long been unable to withstand any big waves. I don't have the mood to care about any court battles. I just want to preserve the Linglong Pavilion Pavilion." Ning Zhumang's expression gradually became gloomy, and even his voice was slightly tired.

Hearing this, Xu Han also fell silent.

He thought about the conversation he had with Zhou Zhang, the words the Headmaster had said to him, and then looked at Ning Zhumang in front of him.

There were complete eggs beneath the nest.

Perhaps he wanted to find a place to settle down, but it wasn't necessarily a dream.

However, the general trend of the world was a game between several monsters. Not to mention Xu Han, even the Linglong Pavilion could do very little under such a gathering of wind and clouds.

Thinking of this, Xu Han couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"I do come from the Dark Asura Palace, but I'm just a black-clothed Asura. I don't know much more than you." After a moment of silence, Xu Han finally spoke.

But just as he said that, Xu Han met Ning Zhumang's hopeful gaze.

The Sect Leader, who was over 40 years old, already had a lot of snow on his head. Obviously, the position of Sect Leader was not easy to handle.

Xu Han's heart trembled. He pondered for a moment before saying again, "If you really want to talk about that demonic dragon, I think you might be able to start with the Gu Forest that the Dark Asura Palace cultivated."

Hearing this, Ning Zhumang was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly stood up and nodded towards Xu Han.

"Ning Zhumang will remember this kindness." After saying that, he didn't say anything else and disappeared from the Exquisite Pavilion in a flash.

Xu Han, who was accustomed to not seeing the end of the dragon in front of the head sect, was only slightly stunned before he regained his senses.

Immediately after, his expression darkened again.

Gu Lin…

That was a place that Xu Han would never forget.

There, he completed the metamorphosis from a beggar to an Asura.

He lost his first friend there.

He raised his eyes to look into the distance, thinking about the dark forest, the heavy rain, and the figure who walked into the depths of the forest alone.

Xu Han's eyes were slightly moist.

"Ah Sheng…"

As he muttered that name, the sky darkened a little.

The continuous droplets of water landed on his head.

That day, the Linglong Pavilion welcomed the first spring rain since the beginning of spring.
