Even though Huang Xuan was a Great Emperor of the human race in his past life, with exceptionally high standards, he could never have imagined that a cheating entity called the System had seen through him.
Hua Yunfei naturally wouldn't admit it. Seeing Huang Xuan staring at him, he chuckled and turned to Lin Yang and the others, saying:
"You guys go cultivate first. Use any resources you find on the Flying Boat as you please. This Seat has something to discuss with him."
Lin Yang and the others nodded and wisely left.
Once they were far away, the Sage Remnant Soul pulled Lin Yang, secretly sticking out its head and perking up its ears, wanting to eavesdrop.
Lin Yang was speechless. "Did you think Senior was a pretty good guy after spending a few months together, and now you're getting bold?"
It had been over three months since they set off from Qingyang Town.
After this period of getting along, Lin Yang and the others had come to understand Hua Yunfei's temperament.
They found that not only was his personality good, but he was also very easy to get along with. In normal times, he had no airs of a powerful expert, always winning people over with virtue and reason.
Therefore, the fear they initially felt towards Hua Yunfei's terrifying strength gradually disappeared.
Especially this Sage Remnant Soul fellow, its boldness grew day by day!
"Hehe, it's fine to just listen!" the Sage Remnant Soul chuckled lewdly.
"If you dare to eavesdrop again, with one slap from this Seat, you might die."
How could they possibly hide from Hua Yunfei's senses? He turned his head and said calmly.
"Exactly! Lin Yang, how could you do that?"
The Sage Remnant Soul's face stiffened, and it pointed at Lin Yang, scolding, "I am deeply ashamed of your despicable eavesdropping behavior. Most importantly, you dragged me into it, you're simply detestable!"
With that, the Sage Remnant Soul floated far away, leaving Lin Yang bewildered.
"I..."
Given his personality, he was almost angered to the point of cursing.
"Senior, what did you mean by what you said earlier?"
Huang Xuan remained very calm. Although his memories were incomplete, he had been a Great Emperor of the human race in his past life, so his composure was absolutely top-notch.
He wasn't sure if Hua Yunfei had truly discovered his identity and intended to test him.
Hearing this, Hua Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "What you are thinking in your heart is what this Seat is thinking. Do you understand now?"
Boom!
A storm surged in Huang Xuan's heart. Had he really been seen through?
But why?
He still refused to believe it, thinking Hua Yunfei was bluffing.
Hua Yunfei saw his thoughts and said:
"Don't doubt, and don't be lucky. This Seat has its own methods, but rest assured, this Seat will not harm you."
Huang Xuan was half-believing, half-doubting. "Then why did you bring me onto this Flying Boat, Senior?"
He didn't believe that Hua Yunfei wouldn't be tempted by a body reborn with a trace of Emperor Blood and a trace of a Great Emperor's soul!
Emperor Blood and Emperor Soul – these were things countless people dreamed of!
Even a mere trace, if a Quasi-Emperor got wind of it, they would cross star systems and universes to fight for it!
This was why he had decisively left behind such a deeply rooted Supreme Dao Holy Land as Yaoguang Holy Land!
According to the fragmented memories left from his past life, the foundations of these Supreme Dao Holy Lands were terrifying, far more complex than they appeared on the surface.
Hua Yunfei didn't beat around the bush. He said, "Seeing your background, this Seat felt the urge to take you as a disciple."
"You want to take me as a disciple?"
Huang Xuan laughed. In this era, there were few Saint-level powerhouses on the surface. What could they teach him?
Even though his memories were incomplete, he still remembered many of the top-tier cultivation techniques that Great Emperor Xuanhuang had studied in his past life, as well as the cultivation insights of a Great Emperor at various realms.
With these, he didn't need a Master at all.
His choice to join Yaoguang Holy Land and the Qiankun Grotto-Heaven was purely for resources.
He lacked nothing but resources.
Hua Yunfei saw Huang Xuan's indifference. Indeed, how could the perspective of a Great Emperor stoop to a contemporary powerhouse?
Even a Quasi-Emperor, even if Huang Xuan had flaws, wouldn't be qualified.
But!
Hua Yunfei believed he was qualified, and he immediately proved it with his actions.
With a sudden wave of his sleeve, hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones appeared around them, along with various medicinal herbs of at least Saint-grade!
Counting them, there were hundreds of those Saint-grade medicinal herbs!
Instantly, the Flying Boat, which was already rich in Spiritual Energy, condensed into clouds of Sacred Energy that lingered, refusing to dissipate!
The aroma of the precious medicine attracted Lin Yang and the others again.
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
"Holy."
The Sage Remnant Soul frantically shook Lin Yang's shoulders, pointing at the treasures surrounding Hua Yunfei, drooling.
If he got just one of these, he'd ascend right here!
"Can you calm down?" Lin Yang rolled his eyes.
"Quasi-Emperor grade great medicine! True Dragon precious medicine!"
Other Sage grade, even Saint King grade, or Great Sage grade great medicines, didn't move Huang Xuan much.
Only when he saw a golden, dragon-shaped precious medicine did his expression turn surprised.
"Don't look at me, I'm the legend you'll never get."
The Quasi-Emperor grade True Dragon precious medicine had already developed sentience!
It grew eyes on its stem and leaves, which slowly opened. It glanced dismissively at Huang Xuan, Who is this country bumpkin? Has he never seen my handsome face before?
Huang Xuan wasn't surprised that it could speak.
Many Sage grade precious medicines had sentience and could escape on their own two feet, avoiding cultivators' plucking.
It was completely normal for Quasi-Emperor grade precious medicine to speak.
He looked at Hua Yunfei, who became increasingly mysterious in his eyes!
With just a wave of his hand, he produced over a hundred precious medicines, the lowest being Sage grade. Among them were True Dragon precious medicines that could transform into Great Emperor grade precious medicines after fifty thousand years of cultivation!
What is this person's background?
An Old Ancestor from a Supreme Dao Holy Land?
It's possible!
The more Huang Xuan thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and it was the only explanation.
Otherwise, why would he be so extravagant?
Huang Xuan even thought that even an Old Ancestor from a Supreme Dao Holy Land wouldn't be this wealthy!
Most great medicines like Saint medicines were planted in Holy Land medicine gardens and protected. How could they be cultivated so casually in a Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven?
Hua Yunfei waved his sleeve again, and the spirit stones and precious medicines were collected into his Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven. This time, several Great Emperor scriptures appeared!
Over the years, although he only had one Ultimate Emperor Weapon, he had so many Emperor Dao scriptures that he couldn't hold them all with both hands.
The cultivation technique he himself practiced was chosen from among them.
Having too many Great Emperor scriptures was also a kind of trouble.
I wonder if anyone understands how I feel?
"Master, I pay my respects!"
Bang!
Huang Xuan knelt down decisively, performing the disciple-induction ceremony!
His face was solemn, and he didn't even glance at the Great Emperor scriptures.
Great Emperor scriptures and resources were not important.
He just wanted to become a disciple!
"Haha, good disciple."
"Quickly, get up!"
Hua Yunfei put away his treasures, laughing happily.
Huang Xuan had top-tier talent, and in his previous life, he was a Great Emperor of the human race.
With a little nurturing, he would undoubtedly be a top-tier foundation for the Kaoshan Sect in the future!
He could even lie down in the deepest part of the ancestral tomb!
Hua Yunfei took out the Emperor Dao Sword Art, the Taiyi Sword Art, and handed it to Huang Xuan, saying:
"Master doesn't have many good things. Consider this ordinary cultivation technique as a gift from your Master. Don't dislike it."
Huang Xuan took the Taiyi Sword Art, his expression serious. "Master, the gift is small, but the sentiment is heavy. I understand this. Thank you, Master, for bestowing the sword art!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
Hua Yunfei said "good" three times in a row, extremely satisfied with Huang Xuan.
He originally thought that Huang Xuan, as a Great Emperor in his past life, would be somewhat rigid in this life.
After all, he had once looked down on all beings and was unaccustomed to interacting with others as equals.
Now it seemed he had overthought things.
Huang Xuan was quite smooth and tactful, without any trace of stiffness or pretense.
He hadn't placed himself in the role of a Great Emperor, understanding that times had changed and he was no longer the Great Emperor of the Human Race.
