Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1253 - 1252: State Preceptor
The first crystal stone on the stele lit up, proving that the first restriction has been broken.
This news instantly caused a stir among the crowd.
Faces full of disbelief.
An ordinary person actually broke the First Layer restriction, who would believe it if you told them?
Moreover, this was set by their entire Elf Clan's revered genius Array Master, also personally arranged by their State Preceptor, a series of ten restrictions!
Not to mention an ordinary person, even a Ninth Layer Martial Artist might not be able to break the First Layer restriction.
This...
How is it possible?
The Elf King's brows furrowed tightly, a sudden shiver in his heart, he suddenly had a very strange feeling—his daughter apparently wasn't acting out of caprice; the man she brought back was very mysterious, indescribably mysterious.
First, he slew a Saint, and now he passed the first restriction.
What is happening?
Just when the Elf King was feeling surprised—
"The second crystal stone lit up! My goodness! He has actually passed the second restriction!"
"What's happening? Is there a malfunction with the crystal stones?"
"There must be a malfunction, quickly call someone to fix it!"
Very soon, someone went to find people for repairs.
Upon hearing this news, the Elf King's eyes widened, and General Zhou Zhenchuan and the Elder beside him were also completely incredulous.
Such an impossible thing!
How did it happen?
At this point, they also believed there was a problem with the crystal stones.
Soon after.
A cultivator specially responsible for managing the crystal stones came rushing in, giving a salute to the Elf King and others.
The Elf King merely waved his hand and said, "Go have a look..."
"Yes!"
The Elf Clan cultivator quickly went to the stele, took down the ten crystal stones one by one, and began to inspect them!
The inspection procedure was simple, no need for complicated processes.
In no time, the ten crystal stones were checked.
The cultivator then reattached the crystal stones one by one.
One, two, three... four...
Five, six, seven... eight...
"Hmm? The eighth one lit up!"
Continuing to attach.
"The ninth one lit up!"
"The tenth one lit up!"
All told, a total of three crystal stones lit up.
Suddenly someone in the crowd pointed at the three lit crystal stones on the stele and said, "See, the crystal stones are indeed broken! How could that old man break the restrictions!"
"They really are broken! Who would have thought..."
"Such a rare event, even the crystal stones can malfunction!"
Hearing the murmurs.
The Elf King remained placid, unconcerned.
His gaze just fixed on the cultivator inspecting the crystal stones.
Clearly, waiting for his confirmation and response.
The cultivator responsible for inspecting the crystal stones swallowed his saliva, and said somewhat unbelievably, "Your Majesty! The inspection is complete! These ten crystal stones... the crystal stones... are all completely intact!"
"What?!!"
"How is it possible?!! Just now only two were lit, and suddenly three are lit, yet you say they are not broken, are you kidding?!"
"Did you even check properly! Please be serious! With His Majesty present, how can you be so casual?!"
"Brother, don't mess up! Check again! Mistakes here are a capital offense!"
Amidst the continuous questioning voices in the crowd.
The cultivator responsible for inspecting the crystal stones suddenly raised his voice, cupping his hands, "I risk my head to ensure that these ten crystal stones are absolutely intact!"
Dead silence!
A pin-drop could be heard.
Silently terrifying.
To make everyone believe his words more.
He raised his voice by eight degrees once again:
"I have been engaged in crystal stone management for nearly a thousand years. In this thousand-year span, besides eating, sleeping, and cultivating, I am constantly in company with crystal stones. My master said long ago that I have inherited his mantle. In recognizing crystal stones, I dare not say I have mastered my master's teachings completely, but I'm close. If there is any mistake... His Majesty can have my head!"
His words were firm, confident, and calm.
This is the confidence in his skills, the confidence in his abilities.
Who dares to argue with him after such words?
The Elf King also frowned, waving his hand and said, "I believe in your judgment, there is no need to be too intense... Everyone just wants to confirm."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"You may leave now..."
"Yes!"
The whole place was in uproar!
Since the ten crystal stones are genuine, it means that old man has already proceeded towards the fourth restriction.
Shock!
Amazement!
...
Meanwhile.
Bai Xiaolan hurriedly arrived at a bamboo grove within the elven territory.
In the middle of the bamboo grove, there was a suspended wooden pavilion.
The air was serene and oppressive.
Water flowed down slowly from the sky, with the structure unknown what array it formed.
Bai Xiaolan didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful and astonishing scenery and directly called out—
"Master! Master..."
No response to the continuous calls.
"Master, where are you? Master—"
Because of anxiety, her voice rose by eight degrees!
A voice came from above the pavilion—
"Girl... stop causing a scene!"
Bai Xiaolan looked up.
An old man, clad in a grey robe and completely white-haired, descended slowly from above. There was no Primordial Qi fluctuation from him, yet as he descended, Primordial Qi surged upwards, gently supporting him in his descent.
"Master... you're out?!" Bai Xiaolan, like a child, immediately embraced the old man's arm.
"You girl, causing a scene on my turf as soon as you're back, I'm going to take away your Pass Token, stop you from bothering me in the future." The State Preceptor's face was reluctant, yet a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
The State Preceptor was named Ji Yuanxing, everyone only knew his surname was Ji, but no one knew his real name. He named himself Yuanxing, to commemorate his two journeys on foot measuring the Northern Country in the past.
Ji Yuanxing was old, yet he had never had any children, and despite having numerous disciples, he had no true inheritor. Bai Xiaolan was his most beloved disciple, even considered his sole true successor.
However, this disciple was not very ambitious, often inconsistent in efforts.
Unreliable.
Ji Yuanxing looked at her just like parents looking at their children, eager for success yet hesitating to act harshly.
He often felt he was quite unsuccessful, glorious in life but unable to teach this disciple. Truly helpless with her.
"Master... I don't have time to chat with you, I have urgent business to discuss."
"What urgent business? If it's about refusing marriage, I, this old man, am afraid I can't help you, a grown woman can't be kept, you are at that age..." Ji Yuanxing said seriously.
"Master, what are you talking about... it's something else! A friend of mine has entered the ten restrictions trial! Right now, he's attempting the challenge!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"Challenge?" Ji Yuanxing raised his hand.
Five fingers moved together.
One, two, three, four, five...
Ji Yuanxing frowned deeply!
Bai Xiaolan immediately said, "My friend is just an ordinary person; he simply can't pass... so, Master, can you show some leniency, let him through! Otherwise, my father will definitely execute him! I'm begging you! Master..."
Acting cute skill.
Then continued to fabricate how wonderful this friend's character is, how he came to the elf territory...
