Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 653 Mind Game.

The Elder told the girls about what the content inside the bottle was; she said, "Do you know that one drop of liquid spirit is sold of hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones? I have seen Immortal Sovereign-level alchemists going crazy for it. One drop can help increase the grade of a medium-level pill to the top level, and ten drops can raise a top-level pill to a supreme grade." 

Yu Ying raised her brows and exclaimed, "Elder, are you exaggerating?" 

The old lady sighed and said, "I wish I could be, but this is a fact. You can take this bottle to Sister Kami, and she will tell you if I am telling you the truth or not." 

Amelia was stunned. She was not clueless about the way things worked in the immortal plain anymore. The Elder continued, "If you add ten drops of this bottle into a medicated bath, it will increase the efficiency of the bath by a hundredfold. This liquid is the best remedy to clear the blocked meridians or make them stronger." 

The benefit of refining strong meridians was endurance and capacity. The endurance to handle a higher spiritual circulation and capacity meant holding more spirit energy inside them.

Shi Lang had given her a wonderful gift, and Amelia was very touched by this. The Elder said, "Before you open the next box, finish reading the letter and respond to the head hunter. She must be on the clock to finish this task." 

Amelia nodded and took out the letter from the space ring. It was written in the same old Morse code. This time, Shi Lang passed on a rifle design and told her about the Asura Hall. He asked her to see if the two forces can work together. He also told her about his plan to make a communicator. 

The big news that surprised Amelia was Shi Lang accepting a disciple, how she was rescued, and what future he envisioned for her. In the end, he gave her the sweet words of love. 

She took a piece of parchment and wrote down her message. Then, after neatly folding it, she handed it to Yu Ying. The latter rushed out of the main hall and passed the letter to the servicing disciple. 

The head hunter waited patiently, and only when she received a reply did she leave. Inside the sect, Amelia became a sensation. She distributed a few drops of liquids to all the elders. None of them expected her to be so generous. 

Amelia mentioned the Asura Hall. She did not tell anyone about the rifle because she was not clear if these people were worthy enough to hold such a weapon. 

...

On the other hand, Shi Lang was training Yu Xiedi inside the forest, and he was making her chase after the rabbit with all the strength she had. The girl would get tired, and she would rest and then get up again. The terran did not control the pace of her training. He patiently watched her improve on her own. 

The reason behind this freedom was her immature physique. Shi Lang could not put her through devilish pressure. She needed to find her limits on her own and explore them even more. 

At this stage, Shi Lang could not help her with anything other than her comprehensive doubts about the technique. He could not improve her body with a wave of his hand. Shi Lang watched her run around, but he had not forgotten his task. He was checking every nook and cranny to locate the fugitive Immortal Emperor. 

He did not tell Yu Xiedi about his task because he was afraid. If the girl said anything out of her innocence, it would spell disaster for them. Shi Lang did not wish to see that happen. 

It has been four days since he has been looking for humans. He had yet to find the one he was looking for. Anyhow, he had been consistent with his story. If he came across someone, he would say, 'I am here with my disciple to train.' 

Also, he would exchange petty gifts with them as a show of goodwill. During these four days, he had not killed anyone. He was not a bloodthirsty demon. He did not wish for Yu Xiedi to see the gore unnecessarily. 

At this moment, they were resting, and Yu Xiedi held the Emerald Sparkle Rabbit. Shi Lang constantly used his sensory ability, and his spirit sense was spread around, too. Suddenly, he sensed someone approaching, but he did not react. The uninvited guest was a human. His movements were slow, but they were superbly concealed. If not for the sensory ability, Shi Lang could not have detected this person's approach with his spiritual senses alone. 

The person close to them and the rabbit reacted. Beasts had a better perceptiveness. It did not matter if they were of an inferior realm. They all had their ranges of perception. 

The startled rabbit woke up Yu Xiedi. Shi Lang also 'woke up' and said, "Who's there?" 

He stood up and heard a gentle chuckle. He looked and found an old man. This person looked very amiable and gentle. Shi Lang sighed and asked, "I apologize for the rudeness, Senior." 

The old man smiled and waved his hand. He said, "It is not easy to come across a young man who could react this fast." 

Putting up the aura of a dignified senior, the old man drew close to Shi Lang. He asked, "What brings you here in the wild, and that too with a child?" 

Shi Lang placed his hand on Yu Xiedi's head and said, "The young lady is going to participate in the family gathering, and it is about time she learned something. So the elders sent me to guide her." 

The old man was surprised, and he did not expect the two of them to have a family behind them. He did not show anything on his face and asked, "A young lady, I wonder which family would go to such lengths to train young talents." 

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Our family head has placed a seal on us. We cannot use the family name outside. He forbade special treatment for any of the young talents." 

The old man narrowed his gaze slightly. He was sure that it was a big family that did not like to interact much with the world. He wondered if he could take advantage of this young girl when Shi Lang disrupted his thoughts, "Senior, are you here to investigate the upcoming red moon?" 

The pupils of the old man constricted, and he asked, "What do you know about it?" 

lightsnοvεl.cοm Shi Lang replied with a faint smile, "I am just a puny Immortal General. A few days ago, His Highness Tian Long came to our home and asked us to lend forces in containing the berserk spiritual beasts." 

The old man was in disbelief. He did not expect these people to have a connection with Immortal Sovereign. His heart was filled with doubts, and at this moment, Shi Lang said, "Senior, thank you for your hard work. Please accept this natural treasure. I can see you. are injured." 

The old man was surprised. He saw Shi Lang holding a jade bottle. His spiritual senses checked the content and found it a peak medium-grade healing pill. Although it might not have much effect on him, it was still better than anything. He asked, "Why do you offer me a gift? We do not know each other." 

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Well, Elder, I have learned in the past that pleasing a senior is not a bad thing." 

His expressions were bashful, completely different from the Shura who killed without batting an eyelid. Yu Xiedi did not say anything, and she had learned that Shi Lang would put up a humble act most of the time. This allowed him to get by without much trouble. When he faced some trouble that could not be solved by wit, only then he would exercise his strength. 

The old man watched Shi Lang for a prolonged moment. Shi Lang slowly stopped smiling and asked, "Senior, is something wrong?" 

The old man woke up from his thoughts, and he had been trying to see through the young man before him. However, when he found nothing suspicious, he smiled and accepted the pill bottle. 

Shi Lang bowed slightly and said, "Elder, I will leave now. The gathering will start tomorrow." 

The old man nodded and watched Shi Lang and Yu Xiedi walk away slowly. Shi Lang did not dare to act doubtful. He was not sure if the Immortal Emperor would kill him for this. After he left the forest, he hurried back to the Moon Night Diner with Yu Xiedi in his arms. He was not sure if the plan would work or not, but he needed to report, and his work would be finished. 

Shi Lang came to the big dipper room and found the young man behind the counter. He said, "I found the old man you guys are looking for. I gave him a medium-level healing pill, which also contained a speck of Shadow Scorpion claw powder. That can be tracked. The eastern part of the forest, near the pond. That is where that guy is." 

The young man nodded and said, "It will take us a few days to verify the situation according to your account." 

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I will stay at the city palace."
