The Association Officially Founded
Having already bestowed upon him a Divine Ability, Qu Heng seemed far from finished.
"Judging from your words and actions, you seem rather cautious. You must be hiding something!" Qu Heng asked with a smile.
It's not just being overly cautious, it's downright paranoia!
Yang Ning's heart tightened, and he simply said, "This disciple has indeed had some fortuitous encounters, which I am willing to offer."
"Don't misunderstand!" Qu Heng interrupted Yang Ning bluntly, "Many disciples in the sect have had extraordinary encounters, that's your luck. If the sect wanted to plunder them all, how could that last?"
"Huh?" Yang Ning was taken aback, feeling both understanding and touched.
Yes, Taiheng has been able to continue for 300,000 years, which is due to its own wisdom in maintaining its continuity. There may be short-sighted people, but the management is definitely clear-headed.
Subconsciously, he thought of Lin Tianheng again.
If that's the case, then this guy will never be the sect leader in his life; his personality is just not right!
"I just want to tell you that Taiheng is vast, capable of accommodating any genius and any extraordinary encounter. From now on, feel free to be bolder in your actions!" Qu Heng stood up and came to Yang Ning, gently patting Yang Ning's shoulder. "As long as you don't betray the sect, Taiheng will always be behind you!"
Yang Ning opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he felt two more people beside him.
Li Yuan and Xu Guiyuan were excited and thrilled, which was a normal reaction to seeing the sect leader. They seemed completely unaware that one of their companions had been missing for more than ten minutes.
When you look at Qu Heng again, he has turned his back on the common people once more.
"I have already read your petition." Qu Heng's voice changed from gentle and soft to firm and resolute.
The form of address changed from "I" to "this seat".
Yang Ning listened silently, while Li Yuan and Xu Guiyuan looked on expectantly. "Then, then Sect Leader, you..."
"Since Yu Taiheng is willing, I have no objection!" Qu Heng said.
"Thank you so much, Sect Leader!" The two were immediately moved to tears and were about to kowtow when Qu Heng stopped them with a wave of his hand.
"Although I agree, the elders still have some suggestions!" Qu Heng added.
"Then," Li Yuan and Xu Guiyuan exchanged a glance, "Please give your instructions, Sect Leader!"
Qu Heng nodded and said, "The association will add another vice president. As for the candidate, it will be Lin Tianheng! He will only have supervisory responsibilities and will not interfere with the operation of your association, nor will you need to pay him a monthly allowance!"
"Yes!" The two breathed a sigh of relief. Having an extra supervisor was already a good outcome.
Although Lin Tianheng was eccentric and somewhat difficult to deal with, Xu Guiyuan wasn't afraid, because he had Tian Dao Yi behind him.
"Furthermore, if the Artifact Forging Master Association is established, the Pill Refining Master will likely follow suit. Therefore, you should participate in drafting its charter, making sure it's similar to yours!" Qu Heng added, "As for Array Masters and Talisman Masters, their numbers are too small; let them be incorporated into the Artifact Forging Master Association!"
"Yes!" The two were overjoyed. What did this mean? It meant that the Pill Refining Master Association was born under the guidance of the Artifact Forging Master Association. Wouldn't that determine their master-servant relationship?
With talisman and array masters joining the Artifact Forging Master Association, the Artifact Forging Master Association will truly dominate most of the Taiheng Hundred Arts!
"Now that you've established an organization, do it well!" Qu Heng continued, "It would be best to cultivate a Spiritual Law Realm cultivator, so that you'll have more say within the main sect!"
"Yes!" Xu Guiyuan and Li Yuan nodded immediately. Now that the Peerless Divine Abilities had been unlocked, the Artifact Forging Master's cultivation would catch up sooner or later.
Qu Heng stopped speaking. Li Yuan and Xu Guiyuan exchanged a glance, then pulled Yang Ning along and bowed in thanks. Immediately afterward, a flash of golden light appeared, and the three of them were back on the fan.
"As expected of the sect leader, his Divine Ability powers are boundless!" Li Yuan exclaimed in admiration.
"Yes!" Xu Guiyuan nodded in agreement.
Yang Ning was utterly shocked to see the posture exactly the same as before. He couldn't tell whether his real body had entered or it was an illusion.
Only after the fan had moved quite a distance did Yang Ning dare to speak, "Deep Blue, did I just move?"
"No!" Deep Blue immediately pulled up a video.
The three of them knelt motionless on the round fan, but suddenly their expressions changed!
"It really is true, it pulled away our consciousness?" Yang Ning exclaimed in astonishment. Is this really a Spiritual Law Realm expert?
How did you do that? Or is it some kind of special Divine Ability?
How do you deal with an opponent like this? The only option is to use a planet-destroying cannon to destroy his planet as well.
Even so, he might not die.
"He also gave me a Cultivation Method. What level is it?" Yang Ning sent the <Soaring Snake Hidden Dragon Technique> to Deep Blue.
Shortly after, Deep Blue replied, "Peerless Divine Abilities!"
"Huh??" Yang Ning was immediately stunned. "Peerless Divine Abilities, is it real?!"
Peerless Divine Abilities are not something you can just pick up anywhere!
However, the fact that the Soaring Snake Clan was able to hide from the dragon clan under its nose using this Divine Ability means that its rank might actually be quite high!
"So, why?" Yang Ning asked, "Deep Blue, analyze this: why did he give me such a Divine Ability?"
"First, he has high hopes for you. After all, you are one of the top ten most talented people in Taiheng's history. No amount of investment in such talent is too much!"
"Secondly, it was just a casual act. Peerless Divine Abilities were not important to him, just like a billionaire casually giving a beggar a thousand dollars on the street!"
"Third, he foresaw your future development and tried to exploit your fortune through the master-disciple relationship. After all, the debt of teaching and imparting knowledge is a real debt of gratitude, even without the formal title of master and disciple!"
"Fourth, he was unsure of your future development and believed that you might not have enough luck to cultivate after entering the Qi Refining Stage. Therefore, he gifted you a peerless Peerless Divine Abilities that does not require luck to cultivate!"
Yang Ning studied the matter and found that the third and fourth points were contradictory. Deep Blue only knew that the sect leader had given him Peerless Divine Abilities, but he only allowed him to learn from them and not to cultivate them.
Since this Divine Ability does not require cultivation, the fourth possibility naturally does not exist.
The third possibility is that he foresaw my future?
If it were an ordinary person, Yang Ning would naturally reject this idea. In the face of the vastness of history, even the most farsighted person is short-sighted. Yang Ning has only just begun the internet age and the industrial age. Who can predict what the future will hold?
But since the sect leader is a cultivator, it's hard to say whether he could tell.
But Yang Ning didn't believe that he was plotting to steal Yang Ning's fortune.
Qu Heng is the sect leader, so his luck must be immense. If he really takes Yang Ning as his disciple, it's uncertain whether he or Yang Ning will benefit in the end!
After all, no matter how much Yang Ning develops, he is still a part of Taiheng. The fortune he gains will inevitably include a share of the Taiheng Sect Leader's fortune. The Sect Leader doesn't need to pay anything!
That's the second type? Impossible. Above peerless Peerless Divine Abilities, only Supreme Divine Ability remain. How could Peerless Divine Abilities not be precious!
So, he simply has a high opinion of me?
