Immortal Master

With immense shock in his heart, Zhang Hongye took the cup of tea handed to him by Qin Ning. He could feel his own hands trembling.

Just what was the background of this young man before him?

How could anyone in this world possibly accomplish such a thing?

Even a legendary martial arts grandmaster was still only human, unable to break free from the specific boundaries explained by science.

But now, every single thing Qin Ning had done clearly exceeded Zhang Hongye's understanding, causing a massive and unprecedented upheaval of his worldview.

After recovering from his shock, he took a deep breath. Without asking a single question, he simply tilted his head back and downed the tea in one gulp.

In an instant, Zhang Hongye felt a peculiar power circulating rapidly throughout his body.

Nourished by this power, his entire body experienced an unprecedented sense of relaxation. All the fatigue within him was swept away, and the various physical ailments brought on by his eighty years of age seemed to vanish completely.

How could this be possible?

At this moment, Zhang Hongye's face showed not just shock, but absolute disbelief.

Daoist Master Zhang, this is my martial grandfather Qin Ning, my grandfather's master, Jiang Yanran said with a smile from the side.

Hearing this, Zhang Hongye was astonished once again.

Jiang Yunshan's master?

How could that be?

Jiang Yunshan was one of the few top-tier martial arts masters in the country.

It would be incredibly difficult to find even a single person in this world qualified to take him as a disciple.

But now, this young man who looked to be only in his twenties was actually Jiang Yunshan's master?

After his initial shock, Zhang Hongye quickly came to terms with it.

Because after witnessing Qin Ning's methods just now, he suddenly felt that nothing was really that strange anymore.

It was no exaggeration to say that, given the abilities Qin Ning had displayed, Jiang Yunshan might not even be qualified to be accepted as his disciple.

Could it be that the old fellow had shamelessly knelt at his doorstep for seven days and seven nights just to successfully become his apprentice?

Should he give it a try too?

This was an existence that transcended human understanding!

If he could truly become his disciple, Zhang Hongye had no doubt that he could take his skills to the next level.

No!

To ten levels higher!

There is no need to take me as your master. Your foundation is actually not bad. From now on, drink these tea leaves according to the method I told you. Leaving aside other things, it will at least restore your body and appearance to that of a forty or fifty-year-old. It might even make you look younger, and living to two hundred years old will be a breeze.

Seeing through Zhang Hongye's thoughts, Qin Ning spoke in a calm voice.

Uh...

Zhang Hongye froze slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed. He hadn't expected that everything he was thinking would be seen through at a glance by the young man in front of him.

Taking a deep breath, he hurriedly bowed respectfully to Qin Ning. Im... Immortal Master, I wonder if this junior might pay you a visit in the future? Please rest assured, Immortal Master, this junior will absolutely not disturb you lightly...

Come if you want. I live in Liu City. You should know Yunshan, so just get the address from him.

Qin Ning nodded lightly, then glanced at Jiang Yanran. Let us go.

Yes, Young Master Qin.

Jiang Yanran did not address Qin Ning as her martial grandfather. On one hand, he had requested this himself, as it felt a bit strange and wouldn't sound good if others heard it.

On the other hand, Jiang Yanran harbored some peculiar thoughts of her own. If she got used to calling him martial grandfather, it might be a bit troublesome to put those thoughts into action later.

Or rather, inappropriate.

Young... Young Master Qin...

Just as the two of them walked out the door of the main hall, a young man came running over, panting heavily.

It was Fang Mingrui.

After taking the cable car up, the first thing he did was ask around and even had someone check the surveillance footage, which was how he finally found where Qin Ning and Jiang Yanran were.

Seeing him appear, Jiang Yanran immediately frowned.

Thud!

However, before she could say anything, Fang Mingrui dropped directly to his knees before Qin Ning. After kowtowing heavily several times, he said, Young... Young Master Qin, I was blind this morning. Please... please just treat me like a fart and let me go. No matter what your demands are, as long as you ask, I... I will definitely do everything in my power to satisfy them!

Keep a low profile in the future. Don't think that just because you have money or someone in your family has some status, you can really do whatever you want.

Qin Ning swept a calm gaze over him. Having probed him with his divine sense, he knew that this guy was just a bit of a playboy and hadn't actually done any great evil, so he couldn't be bothered to stoop to his level.

Yes, yes... Young Master Qin is absolutely right to lecture me. I will definitely keep a low profile from now on!

Fang Mingrui kowtowed again, letting out a long sigh of relief in his heart. From Qin Ning's tone, he could tell that the other party clearly had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

Get lost, Qin Ning said.

Yes, Young Master Qin, I'll get lost right away!

Fang Mingrui was ecstatic, feeling as if he had received a grand pardon. He quickly turned around and scurried away dejectedly, not daring to stay a moment longer.

Do you want to go down the mountain now? I'll take you, Qin Ning asked, looking at Jiang Yanran.

Yes!

Jiang Yanran nodded directly without a second thought.

If it hadn't been for this stone, she figured she would have gone back to Xi Province early yesterday. Now that the stone had been acquired by Qin Ning, she naturally had no need to stay any longer.

Besides, she wanted to experience that feeling of flying in the sky again!

Qin Ning didn't speak. He simply wrapped an arm around her slender waist. With a look of excitement on her face, Jiang Yanran took the opportunity to wrap her arms around his neck, the two of them pressing close together.

Whoosh!

The next moment, under Zhang Hongye's dumbfounded gaze, the two of them soared directly into the air. After reaching a certain height, they vanished into thin air without a trace.

Immortal Master!

Zhang Hongye was stunned silly and fell straight to his knees. This was a true Immortal Master.

Completely different from martial artists like them, the other party was definitely an immortal cultivator. Otherwise, how could he possibly accomplish something like flying?

...

Meanwhile, high up in the sky.

Young Master Qin, where are we going now? Jiang Yanran looked at the mountains beneath her feet. Not only was she not afraid, but she felt it was incredibly novel and fascinating. She couldn't help but fantasize that one day, she too would fly in the sky relying on her own strength!

To the capital of E Province, Hanchang City.

As early as when they arrived at Mount Wudang, Qin Ning had used his divine sense to scan the entirety of E Province. He discovered that there were several pieces of extremely high-quality jade in Hanchang City that could be refined into spirit stones.

He planned to go and take a look.

Once I'm done with my business in Hanchang, I'll take you back to Xi Province. It's on the way, and I happen to need to find your grandfather to give him some instructions, Qin Ning said.
