The demented old man bounced around, and Hanyu's eye twitched. He was afraid the old man might lose his mind and kill him with a single move.
There was no way the old man could be called normal.
"If he's a madman, you'd better go along with him. A madman in the Transcendence Realm is even more terrifying," Little Glazed warned him earnestly in his Sea of Consciousness.
What exactly was the Transcendence Realm?
"It's a hurdle most cultivators might never cross in their lifetime. Those in the Transcendence Realm have already surpassed the limits of ordinary cultivators. When they strike, they leave not the slightest trace of True Essence. All the True Essence flowing through their bodies has been transformed into spiritual power. Moving mountains and filling seas is easy for them."
Hanyu listened as if hearing some far-fetched fairy tale. This was already beyond the reach of human strength.
"With luck like yours, you can even run into someone like this, despite how rare they are."
Little Glazed sounded rather put out.
The Medicine Master suddenly fell silent, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Hanyu.
"Keep saying what he wants to hear."
Little Glazed hurried him along.
Coming back to himself, Hanyu quickly added, "Using poison to control poison and achieve miraculous effects with pills is exceedingly rare throughout history. It seems, senior, that you've founded an entirely new school of thought."
Hanyu pretended to relay Little Glazed's words as she spoke in his Sea of Consciousness.
The Medicine Master's expression grew more and more delighted. If anyone else had said those words, it would surely have been flattery and appeasement. But Hanyu was different. In the old man's eyes, Hanyu was a remarkable Medicine Master. Praise from a fellow practitioner was the greatest affirmation of all.
