"No wonder I could vaguely sense someone watching me as soon as I left the Heavenly Pivot Hall."
Jiang Ye looked at the old monk studying him from behind, a trace of gravity flashing in his eyes.
The man was none other than Master Yinxin.
Had he not possessed the essence of the dual heart spirit body within him, giving him perception far beyond an ordinary innate martial artist's, he probably would never have detected that elusive feeling of being watched.
"Benefactor Jiang."
The old monk bowed to Jiang Ye, a golden light seeming to flicker in his eyes.
This old monk is examining my body?!
Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes, a faint chill running through his heart.
That golden glow in the monk's eyes was probably another secret technique similar to the True Fire Refining Eye Technique.
His expression remained unchanged, however. Instead, he bent slightly and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Greetings, Master."
The old monk smiled faintly, his expression peaceful and candid, without the slightest attempt at concealment.
"I am indeed examining your body, Benefactor Jiang. Please forgive me."
"When I heard the ringing of a bell during my meditation earlier... I began to suspect something..."
"Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it truly has broadened my horizons."
The old monk gazed intently at Jiang Ye and asked in a solemn voice:
"Benefactor Jiang, have you mastered the first level of the Golden Bell World-Suppressing Body?!"
Jiang Ye froze for a moment.
He had not expected the commotion from his fight with Zheng Lin to draw this old monk's attention.
He had originally intended to keep his progress with the Golden Bell World-Suppressing Body a secret.
But the man before him was a Martial Grandmaster.
And he seemed to have already confirmed it.
