The old man thought nothing of Snake Girl's rebuke. His skin was thicker than a city wall. It was as though he did not notice the odd looks people were giving him.
"How can that be? As the saying goes, a teacher for life is a father for life. I have handed all my livelihood skills to you. Now that I'm old, it's time for me to enjoy some leisure. Look at me, despite my advanced age, I still have to work from dawn to dusk to do this tiny business.
It's so tiring. "When the old man said that, the surrounding warriors stared at him. They had seen shameless people before, but they had never seen someone this shameless. He actually described 'robbery' as a means to earn a living.
Although the world of warriors was one where the strong preyed on the weak and robbery was nothing rare, to describe it in such a matter-of-fact manner made even bandits blush with shame.
Seeing that the master and disciple were about to fight, Yi Yun hurriedly interrupted them. "Senior … if you lack money for alcohol, I have some means to earn a living. I can help you earn some money. Now, I have something to ask you. I wonder if you can spare me a moment?"
Yi Yun wanted to take out Huan Chenxue's letter, but with so many people watching, it was inappropriate to do so in public.
Old Snake had originally ignored Yi Yun, but when he heard that there was money to be made, his tiny eyes lit up. He turned to look at Yi Yun. "Lad, you sure know what to do. It's no wonder I found your bones amazing at a glance. You can be considered a promising talent. How about it? Do you want to be my disciple? There are endless benefits to being my disciple. In the Myriad God Ridge, no one will dare bully you if you mention my name. "
Old Snake said in an 'earnest' and enticing manner. The people around him were already bursting into laughter.
Yi Yun was somewhat dumbfounded. He had originally guessed that Huan Chenxue had asked him to seek out Old Snake because she wanted him to become his disciple. He believed that with Old Snake's maverick personality, it would be difficult for him to become his disciple. He never expected that Old Snake would go for it. Wasn't a master worth too much? What happened to the dignity of an expert?
Although it sounded unreliable, Yi Yun was still considering it. Since Old Snake had said so, he might as well go with the flow and acknowledge him as his master. After all, there was nothing to lose.
However, just at this moment, the snake lady rolled her eyes at the old man and muttered, "Earlier, I was the one who paid for the transportation formation and the entrance fee. Twelve Inferior Grade Spirit Jades. I might not even earn that much from a single transaction."
Snake Girl was also displeased as she deliberately exposed Yi Yun.
When the old man heard this, the way he looked at Yi Yun changed. No money? Why are you pretending to be a rich young master when you don't have money?
He coughed twice and said, "I have a very high threshold for accepting disciples. Ordinary people can forget about joining my sect. I will never consider anyone less than two hundred spirit jades as a disciple."
When the old man said this, a few rich young masters present waved their fans in disdain. Two hundred spirit jades was considered a high threshold? He really hadn't seen the world.
The finely dressed youth smiled and said, "Two hundred spiritual jades, tsk tsk, that's a little expensive. It's barely enough for me to have a meal at Tianyue Restaurant."
When the finely dressed youth said that, the laughter turned even louder.
They watched as the old man, Snake Girl, and Yi Yun put on an act. They originally believed that the old man and Snake Girl were a pair of supreme-grade master and disciple, but they never expected the youth to be such a fool. He was clearly a wily old fox, yet he addressed him as a senior and even wanted to be filial to him. Was there something wrong with his brain?
At that moment, Yi Yun felt a string of curses galloping through his heart. He did not care about what others thought, but the crux of the issue was that the old fellow was such an oddity that he suspected he had gotten the wrong person.
Boundless Mountain was not Boundless Mountain to begin with, but Boundless Chapter. Furthermore, the name Old Snake was not too uncommon. Perhaps it was someone with the same name?
Instantly, Yi Yun found it difficult to take out the letter. Yi Yun had a feeling that the family clan Huan Chenxue belonged to was a reclusive family clan. He did not know what mission they had, but he definitely could not reveal their existence to strangers.
With this in mind, Yi Yun silently observed the elder's cultivation level.
On the surface, the elder's cultivation level was only at the Dao Palace realm. He had an ordinary foundation and was a classic example of someone who had made his way up.
However, Yi Yun had the Purple Crystal. Nothing could hide from the Purple Crystal's energy vision.
He activated his energy vision and looked at the elder again. Yi Yun exclaimed inwardly when he saw what he saw.
In the energy vision, the elder's cultivation level was still as bad as it could be. However, what caught Yi Yun's attention was a blurry gray blob in the elder's body. Even with the energy vision, Yi Yun could not tell what it was.
This old man was indeed different from the rest.
Yi Yun had a feeling that he had not gotten the wrong person. He said with a voice transmission through Yuan Qi, "Senior, Miss Huan has a letter she wishes for me to hand to you."
Yi Yun had only mentioned the surname to minimize the possibility of exposing Huan Chenxue. If it was Old Snake, he should know who he was referring to. He carefully observed Old Snake's expression, hoping to find any changes in the old man's expression.
However, Yi Yun never expected the old man to act as though he did not hear him. After chatting with Snake Girl for a long time, he seemed to recall something. He turned his head to glance at Yi Yun and said blankly, "Lad, were you talking to me just now?"
Yi Yun was rendered speechless. The old fellow was truly impervious to everything.
"I want to buy your registration token."
Yi Yun decided to follow the old fellow first. Since he had already infiltrated the Myriad God Ridge, he might as well follow him.
Old Snake rolled his eyes at Yi Yun. "Do you have money?"
Snake Girl hurriedly pressed down on her interspatial ring, afraid that Yi Yun would target her. She knew very well that it was impossible for the old man to give Yi Yun a discount.
"I don't have any Spirit Jade. What do you think of this fruit?"
Yi Yun took out a red fruit. It was a supplementary herb for alchemy. It was not an expensive fruit but it was a good ingredient for brewing wine. Because of that, it was in high demand.
Even in the Sinkhole, such a fruit could be sold for two to three hundred Spirit Jade.
Indeed, Old Snake's eyes lit up when he saw the fruit.
"Red Wine Fruit. Good stuff. In that case, I'll reluctantly accept it. This token is yours."
Old Snake threw the token out. The surrounding people shook their heads. The youth was truly foolish. He had bought a token from the old man but ended up paying two to three times the price. He had suffered a huge loss.
However, Old Snake still had some integrity. He did not ask his disciple, Snake Girl, for money. He had given her a registration token for free.
As such, the rich scions behind him saw that there was nothing to see. They also bought their registration tokens. Instantly, Old Snake's business was surprisingly good. He did not have many tokens to begin with, so they were all sold out.
Yi Yun walked to the front of the line. The registration area was in the square in front of him. On one side was the registration area that collected money, and on the other side was a simple testing area. After obtaining a token, one needed to immediately undergo a tiny test. This resulted in many people returning their tokens to the Myriad God Ridge before they could even warm up to a hundred Spirit Jade.
Yi Yun already had a token, so he went straight to the testing area.
