The night was as dark as ink and the moon hung high in the sky.
Inside the quiet and elegant yard, Ling Xian stood with his hands behind his back and his eyes closed.
He was enlightening himself on the Sky Splitting Light, or in other words, he was enlightening himself on the craftsmanship grandmaster's technique.
This person was extremely talented and had reached the peak of perfection. If Ling Xian can fully understand it, he will be able to enter the grandmaster realm.
Therefore, after sealing the grandmaster and King Jin, he returned to his yard and began to enlighten himself.
"The person who made this treasure is truly as deep as the ocean and unpredictable."
Sighing softly, Ling Xian opened his eyes and they flickered with joy.
This was because he had found the direction. All he needed to do was follow the direction to the end and he would be able to enter the grandmaster realm.
One has to admit that Ling Xian's enlightenment ability was insane. Most people cannot find the direction within half a day.
"Let me continue."
Grinning, Ling Xian calmed himself down and continued to enlighten himself.
Just then, a series of soft footsteps arose. In the silent night, it was extremely clear.
After a few breaths, Empress Gan's silhouette appeared in Ling Xian's sight.
She was wearing a phoenix gown, elegant and noble. Her body was exquisite and her beauty was out of this world.
"Is everything taken care of?" Ling Xian grinned.
"Yes, with you, the strongest powerhouse of the Zhou Dynasty, as my support, who dares to disobey?"
Empress Gan grinned. She stared at Ling Xian without blinking and didn't hide her admiration at all.
"I am not your support." Ling Xian grinned.
"Why not? You are my master. "
Empress Gan's eyes rolled around and she purposely emphasized the word "master". It was obvious she was hinting at something.
Then, she got closer to Ling Xian and breathed out, "Master, please let me serve you."
"I don't have that luck."
Ling Xian faintly smiled and took two steps back, distancing himself from Empress Gan.
"You do. In the entire world, you are the only one who does."
Empress Gan's smile was flirtatious and charming.
"You are the Empress of the Zhou Dynasty, why must you lower yourself?"
Ling Xian softly sighed, "If there is nothing else, then leave."
"I truly want to serve you." Empress Gan bitterly stared at Ling Xian.
If before, she offered herself because she had no choice, then now, she willingly offered herself.
"Whether it's sincere or not, it doesn't matter."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Like I said, I don't need you to sleep with me."
Hearing this, Empress Gan became even more resentful.
Not to mention her stunning appearance and good figure, just her identity alone was enough to make countless men go crazy.
Yet Ling Xian rejected her again and again. Which woman wouldn't be disappointed?
"It seems like Master really dislikes me." Empress Gan was dejected.
"Whatever you think."
Ling Xian said helplessly, "Do you remember what you promised me?"
"Of course I won't forget."
Empress Gan smiled faintly and said, "I have already sent out the order. I believe it won't be long before the materials master needs are gathered."
"Very good." Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. Before he left for the Sea of Zhi, he had given Empress Gan the list of ingredients.
"Master."
Empress Gan's eyes were filled with anticipation. "Can you give me the blood of the Sovereign Emperor Physique?"
"Bring your son here. His cultivation is still shallow, so he can't refine the blood of the Supreme Emperor Body on his own."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Then I might as well help him all the way and help him digest it."
"Thank you, Master." Empress Gan was ecstatic and left in a hurry.
After some time, she returned with the child, "Hurry and kowtow to thank our benefactor."
Hearing this, the child didn't hesitate and was about to kneel down and kowtow.
However, Ling Xian stopped him.
He smiled warmly, "There's no need to thank me. What is your name?"
"Zhou Yi."
The child's skin was white and delicate as he stared at Ling Xian without blinking. There was curiosity, appreciation, and respect.
"This child isn't bad."
Ling Xian faintly smiled. He had a good impression of Zhou Yi.
For one, when he held Empress Gan hostage, the child wasn't afraid at all. For two, when Prince Jin threatened him, he didn't back down.
This proved that he wasn't a weak person and was worth training.
"To be able to receive your compliments is the luckiest thing in his life."
Empress Gan softly smiled, "Master, I have a presumptuous request. Can you take Yi Er as your apprentice?"
"I …" Ling Xian frowned.
"I know this request is difficult for you. But the reason why I am able to control the situation is because of you."
"Once you leave, all the feudal officials will be tempted. Even if Yi Er has a King Physique, he won't be able to stop them."
"If you take Yi Er as your apprentice, then there won't be a problem. Even if those people have 100 guts, they won't dare to have any thoughts of betraying you."
Empress Gan stared at Ling Xian with a pleading expression.
"Okay, I promise you."
Ling Xian sighed. To everyone's knowledge, the relationship between a master and a apprentice is only second to blood relations. Once they have a master-apprentice relationship, then even if he leaves the continent, he will be able to scare off those who dare to make a move against Zhou Yi.
"Thank you."
Empress Gan smiled gratefully, "Yi Er, why aren't you bowing to me?"
"Zhou Yi greets my Master!"
The child kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Ling Xian three times.
This time, Ling Xian didn't stop him. He accepted Zhou Yi's three kowtows.
Then, he said in a low voice, "Now that you are under my tutelage, you must follow my rules. If you break them, I will kill you myself."
"Master, do not worry. I will follow the rules and I will not break them." Zhou Yi nodded, finding it hard to hide his joy.
Ling Xian was the strongest powerhouse in the Zhou Dynasty. To have him as his apprentice was a great fortune!
Empress Gan found it hard to hide her joy as well.
Not only was it because with the master-apprentice relationship, Zhou Yi would be able to sit on the dragon throne, but it was also because she and Ling Xian now have a bond.
"Remember what you said today. Don't disappoint me."
Ling Xian looked at Zhou Yi deeply. The Flick of Real Blood appeared and entered between Zhou Yi's brows.
Instantly, his little face turned white like paper and his features twisted.
The blood of a King Physique was not that easy to digest. Even with Ling Xian's help, to the five year old Zhou Yi, it was a huge test.
"Hold on. Don't disappoint me and your mother."
Ling Xian said in a low voice and used his Qi to help Zhou Yi digest the blood.
"Master, do not worry. I can do it!"
Zhou Yi was sweating profusely from the pain and his entire body was shaking. However, he gritted his teeth and vowed not to give up.
It was because of his determination that Ling Xian decided to accept him as his apprentice.
"Very good."
Ling Xian's eyes were full of joy. He did his best to help Zhou Yi digest the blood and lessen his pain.
Time ticked by bit by bit.
After half an hour, Zhou Yi finished digesting the blood and his cultivation level increased. The intermediate stage of the meditational stage, the advanced stage, all the way to the beginning stage of the foundational level before stopping.
At the same time, he began to exude the vigor of a God. More accurately, it was the will of a God.
He was like an invincible Great Emperor who reigned supreme in the universe and dominated the universe!
"A quarter of the King Physique. Not bad."
Ling Xian smiled. Empress Gan was crying tears of joy.
The King Physique was a symbol of power. Even though it was only a quarter, it meant Zhou Yi's future was bright. Why wouldn't she be ecstatic?
