Huang Daoran looked at Zhao Hai. He saw Zhao Hai's calm expression. Zhao Hai's originally pale face was slowly recovering. It was now ruddy, as if he wasn't injured at all.
This discovery made Huang Daoran even more surprised at Zhao Hai's strength. He believed that Zhao Hai's pale face wasn't an act. Zhao Hai's body was actually recovering at a rapid pace. This recovery ability really surprised Huang Daoran.
Zhao Hai didn't say anything this time. He just calmly looked at Huang Daoran. Seeing Zhao Hai's calm expression, Huang Daoran suddenly laughed and said, "Good. Good. Zhao Hai, this Old Man has seen a few of the younger generation. You, Zhao Hai, can be considered a top character. It's a pity that you weren't born in the Cultivation Realm. Otherwise, this Old Man would've done everything in his power to receive you as a disciple."
When Huang Daoran said this, everyone was shocked. Who was Huang Daoran? He was a Transcending Tribulation Expert who was famous in the Cultivation Realm. Up until now, he only had one disciple, the Pavilion Master of the Pink Clouds Pavilion, Zhen Ling. He didn't have any official disciples.
One shouldn't think that Nascent Soul Stage and Transcending Tribulation Stage were only one step apart. Many Cultivators couldn't take this step in their entire life. Many Nascent Soul Experts were even willing to become a Transcending Tribulation Expert's disciple or servant. They hoped that they could learn something from a Transcending Tribulation Expert. They hoped that one day, they would be able to take that step.
However, Transcending Tribulation Experts wanted to increase their strength as soon as possible. They wanted to reach the Severed Soul Stage or Immortal Stage as soon as possible. They rarely accepted disciples, and even if they did, they were very strict.
For Huang Daoran to say such words to Zhao Hai, it could be seen how much he appreciated Zhao Hai. Almost all the Cultivators who came to watch the battle looked at Zhao Hai with envy.
On the other hand, Yuan and the others were nervously looking at Zhao Hai. It must be known that the temptation of being accepted as a disciple by a Transcending Tribulation Expert was too great for a Cultivator. They were afraid that Zhao Hai would become Huang Daoran's disciple. If that happened, Zhao Hai would become a member of the Cultivation Realm. This meant that they would lose Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at Huang Daoran and smiled faintly. Then he bowed and said, "I thank Daoist for his appreciation. But Zhao Hai, as someone from the Machine Field, it would be inconvenient for me to become Daoist's disciple. Because of this, Zhao Hai can only decline Daoist's good intentions."
Huang Daoran's eyes lit up as he said, "So Zhao Hai, you're not opposed to becoming my disciple?"
When Zhao Hai heard Huang Daoran, he couldn't help but stare. Huang Daoran's question showed that he was sincere in accepting him as a disciple. This was something that Zhao Hai didn't expect. He thought that Huang Daoran was just being polite before. He didn't expect Huang Daoran to be so serious.
Zhao Hai looked at Huang Daoran, he still didn't understand what Huang Daoran meant. He bowed once more and said, "Daoist, this one is from the Machine Field. This one doesn't want to leave the Machine Field. Therefore, Daoist's good intentions …" Huang Daoran nodded.
Without waiting for Zhao Hai to finish, Huang Daoran waved his hand and said, "Who told you to leave the Machine Field? This old man just wants to accept you as a disciple. I didn't say that you have to join the Cultivation Realm. You, Zhao Hai, have studied the Cultivation Realm's Cultivation Methods. This old man isn't wrong about this. Accepting you as a disciple isn't making things difficult for you, right? "
Zhao Hai was puzzled. Why did Huang Daoran want to accept him as a disciple? But after thinking about it, Zhao Hai understood. If Huang Daoran accepted him as a disciple, then this matter would be resolved perfectly.
People in the Cultivation Realm loved face. Huang Daoran's failure to kill Zhao Hai was already a loss of face. If Zhao Hai retreated this time, then he would lose even more face. When the time comes, Huang Daoran's prestige would also be affected. This wouldn't be good for Zhao Hai. Even if Zhao Hai repelled Huang Daoran and established his reputation as the number one expert below Transcending Tribulation, it would still bring him endless troubles.
First of all, Zhao Hai was from the Cultivation Realm. People in the Cultivation Realm valued their face more than their lives. Although Zhao Hai forcing Huang Daoran to retreat might seem like a matter between the two of them, but for the Cultivation Realm, this was a matter of the entire Cultivation Realm. Zhao Hai was slapping the Cultivation Realm's face. Because of this, the Cultivation Realm wouldn't let him off. They would certainly find trouble with him.
Besides the Cultivation Realm, the other realms wouldn't let Zhao Hai off either. This was because Zhao Hai's reputation as the number one expert below Transcending Tribulation was the source of all troubles for Huang Daoran. Everyone wanted to kill him and step on his corpse to become famous. This was the biggest worry after becoming famous.
But if Huang Daoran accepted Zhao Hai as his disciple, then all of these troubles wouldn't exist. First, Huang Daoran accepted Zhao Hai as his disciple, saving his face. Second, this would give face to the Cultivation Realm. Zhao Hai was the number one genius of the Machine Field, but he was accepted as a disciple by Huang Daoran. This would give face to the Cultivation Realm. So what if you're the number one genius of the Machine Field? You're still the disciple of a Daoist Master from the Cultivation Realm!
Don't think that the Cultivation Realm wouldn't think this way. Those arrogant fellows would certainly think this way. And these thoughts would only benefit Zhao Hai. This was because in the eyes of these people, Zhao Hai was already half a member of the Cultivation Realm. The Great Sects of the Cultivation Realm wouldn't come looking for trouble with Zhao Hai.
Moreover, because Zhao Hai became Huang Daoran's disciple, he found a good backer. One must know that Transcending Tribulation Experts were considered great experts in the Cultivation Realm. Those who wanted to deal with Zhao Hai and step on Zhao Hai would need to weigh their own weight. Although the Core Disciples of the Great Sects wouldn't care about Huang Daoran's face, this would still reduce a lot of trouble for Zhao Hai.
After thinking about this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh. The older the ginger, the spicier it was. Huang Daoran was actually able to figure out the crux of the matter in such a short time. It can be seen how deep Huang Daoran's mind was.
Zhao Hai looked at Huang Daoran and smiled faintly. Then he gave a salute and said, "Zhao Hai greets Teacher!"
When Huang Daoran heard Zhao Hai's response, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Good, good. Today's situation is special, so we'll keep it simple. Since you've become my disciple, this Old Man can't be too stingy. I'll give you this as a meeting gift." After saying that, he flipped his hand and took out a stone the size of a human head. This stone was completely green and looked like an ordinary piece of bluestone. It was not eye-catching at all.
Zhao Hai quickly flew to Huang Daoran's side. Huang Daoran accepted him as a disciple in front of so many people. Naturally, he wouldn't go back on his words. If he really used this as an excuse to trick Zhao Hai, then he wouldn't be worthy of being a Transcending Tribulation Expert.
When Huang Daoran saw that Zhao Hai had dropped his guard and flew over, he became even more satisfied. He placed the stone in Zhao Hai's hand and said, "This is a huge piece of bluestone that Master accidentally obtained many years ago. This stone is very hard, and it naturally has a trace of yang qi. It's a rare treasure. Master's life source artifact, the Wordless Stele, was refined from this stone. This is the leftover bluestone from refining the Wordless Stele. Today, Master will give it to you."
Today, I'll give it to you. "Zhao Hai stared. He didn't expect the blue sun stone to be so precious. He also didn't expect Huang Daoran to be so generous. In his opinion, the relationship between him and Huang Daoran was just a matter of both sides taking what they needed. He didn't expect Huang Daoran to give him such a precious blue sun stone. This made Zhao Hai feel very surprised.
At the same time, Zhao Hai was moved. No matter what reason Huang Daoran had for accepting him as a disciple, Huang Daoran was truly a good Master.
Zhao Hai bowed to Huang Daoran and said, "Thank you, Master. Master, I also have a gift for you. Some time ago, disciple went to the soft gold mine and accidentally obtained a piece of soft gold ore. Disciple has no use for it right now, so I'll give it to you." Then Zhao Hai waved his hand and a piece of soft gold ore appeared in his hand. This piece of soft gold ore was oval-shaped. It was about one meter tall and had a diameter of half a meter. Such a large piece of soft gold ore was enough to extract about half a jin of soft gold ore. The price of this ore was very high.
Huang Daoran didn't expect Zhao Hai to have such a good thing. His eyes flashed with gratification, then he laughed and said, "Alright, Master will accept it. Come with me, Master will take you to see someone." Zhao Hai nodded.
Zhao Hai nodded, then he waved his hand and received all the Undead as well as the Silverback Gold-winged Bug. Then he waved his hand to Jia Ding Shan and the others. Jia Ding Shan nodded, then he led Li Lin and the others to leave. Zhao Hai turned his head to Yuan and Xiong Li and said, "Captain Yuan, Brother Xiong, I'll be back with Master. You don't need to worry."
Although Yuan and the others wanted to say something, they swallowed their words. In the end, they nodded to Zhao Hai. Then Zhao Hai turned to Huang Daoran and said, "Master, please." Huang Daoran nodded, then he turned around and flew towards the Cultivation Realm's territory. Zhao Hai quickly followed behind him.
It wasn't until this time that the onlookers reacted. Huang Daoran's revenge on Zhao Hai was really full of twists and turns. But in the end, it ended in such a dramatic way that they didn't know how to react.
However, when they saw Zhao Hai and Huang Daoran flying towards the Cultivation Realm's territory, there were those who were envious, those who were disdainful, and those who were cursing Zhao Hai for being an idiot. In their opinion, Zhao Hai was just sending himself to the tiger's den. Huang Daoran certainly didn't have good intentions in accepting him as a disciple. Maybe once Zhao Hai enters the Cultivation Realm's territory, he would be besieged by Huang Daoran and the others.
Naturally, these people were also jealous. The ten of them knew that the probability of this happening was almost zero. It was impossible for Huang Daoran to use such a shameless method to deal with Zhao Hai. He was a Transcending Tribulation Expert, he wouldn't do such a thing.
