"Yes, Ye Ling is more talented than me, and works harder than me."
"She has already become an Innate Grandmaster."
"Oh, that's right! Your Senior Sister and Senior Brother got married, and they have a son. That kid is so mischievous, I can't even get him to practice martial arts!"
Although a Martial Artist's Qi and blood were abundant, Ye Guojiang was also a grandfather now.
He didn't talk about Jianghu past events, but rather about his children and grandchildren.
During their conversation,
Su Bai also heard a piece of news.
Ye Ling's talent was good, and her Dragon Elephant Body Tempering Art had reached Perfection a year ago.
She had now joined the Demon Hunting Association.
Occasionally, she would send letters home to report her safety.
After talking about his grandson,
Ye Guojiang finally spoke of Ye Ling.
"After the Realm beyond Innate appeared, the Demon Hunting Association named that Realm a Gui Zhen Warrior, meaning to break through Innate and return to one's original simplicity. They don't call themselves Grandmasters, but rather Martial Artists."
"That girl, Ye Ling, went to the Demon Hunting Association to pursue a higher Realm."
"I never thought that the Returning to Truth Realm would be related to you."
At this point, Ye Guojiang looked at Su Bai with eyes full of anticipation.
This was also a bit of information that Lin Feng had revealed to him because Ye Ling was from the Mingyu Sect and had caught his attention.
Otherwise,
information about Su Bai and the Monster Beast Pill was kept highly confidential within the Demon Hunting Association.
Then Ye Guojiang continued:
"Since there are Gui Zhen Warriors, they naturally have to try some things that were difficult to solve before."
Difficult to solve?
What kind of things?
Su Bai didn't interrupt Ye Guojiang.
"Yao Kings, the strength of Yao Beasts varies, but they also correspond to Martial Artists, Grandmasters, and Innate Grandmasters."
"But Yao Kings are different!"
When mentioning Yao Kings, a hint of fear flashed in Ye Guojiang's eyes.
"That's not something an Innate Grandmaster can handle. Every time a Yao King appears, at least twenty or more Innate Grandmasters are needed to fight to the death just to repel it!"
Hearing this,
Su Bai raised her eyebrows.
This Yao King…
"Before, we could only use the lives of Innate Grandmasters to fill the void, but the appearance of Gui Zhen Warriors has solved this problem."
"Gui Zhen Warriors can contend with Yao Kings to some extent. Although they still can't kill them, the strength of both sides is evenly matched, and neither can do anything to the other."
Indeed, this Yao King was a Late Stage first-order Yao Beast.
"Fortunately, Yao Kings also have their own territories and don't venture out casually, otherwise, the Martial Artists of this world would probably have to constantly use their lives to stop the Yao Kings."
When Ye Guojiang was young, he once followed an Innate Grandmaster to suppress a Yao King.
However, he was not qualified to fight upfront.
He could only serve as logistics.
Forming battle formations to assist the Innate.
"I heard from Ye Ling's message that the Demon Hunting Association has a total of three Gui Zhen Warriors, and they have already planned to jointly suppress a Yao King."
"That's why when I heard footsteps just now, I thought Ye Ling had completed her mission and returned."
There was a hint of disappointment in Ye Guojiang's tone.
He knew how terrifying Yao Kings were.
Although this time the Yao King was being suppressed by the rumored Gui Zhen Warriors,
and Innate Martial Artists didn't have to fight them,
he hadn't seen how powerful Gui Zhen Warriors were.
Naturally, he was a bit worried.
"Don't worry, Master, I will go find Senior Sister."
"Hmm? Won't you stay a few more days?"
When Ye Guojiang asked this, Su Bai fell silent.
Ye Guojiang looked at the silent Su Bai.
He sighed.
"Master knows you are not an ordinary person. From the moment I picked you up when you were still young, I felt your extraordinary nature."
"Later, after you started practicing martial arts, the talent you displayed was even more astonishing. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you are a martial arts prodigy seen once in a millennium."
"You are already a Gui Zhen Warrior, aren't you?"
Finally, Ye Guojiang asked this question.
Su Bai nodded.
She admitted it.
"Master, in the future, I may go explore higher Realms, and I don't know how many years that will take."
Su Bai's visit this time was a farewell.
Looking at the white hair on Ye Guojiang's head,
she wondered if he would have already passed away when she next returned.
Su Bai felt that she was still grateful.
Ye Guojiang had taught her martial Dao.
So she also had to help him as much as possible once.
Even if it was to repay that ethereal Karma.
"Go."
"?"
Ye Guojiang simply said one soft word.
A smile was on his face.
"Go pursue the end of the martial Dao. Your talent isn't meant to be wasted talking to an old man like me. Do what you want to do."
"Master, I have already reached my limit, but you are just beginning."
Ye Guojiang did not try to keep her.
He was also a Martial Artist.
Hearing her Master's words, Su Bai also understood his broad-mindedness.
She took out ten jade bottles from her Storage Pouch.
"These are Monster Beast Pills. I've placed Restrictions on the bottles, so the medicinal efficacy can be preserved for a long time."
"They can ensure that the Mingyu Sect will produce an Innate Grandmaster in every generation for the next few hundred years."
"If one is already an Innate Grandmaster, they can also be used to Breakthrough to a Gui Zhen Warrior."
"However, the medicinal efficacy is very potent, so it's only recommended to take one pill per person."
Su Bai left the Medicinal Pills and departed.
This world was, after all, just a temporary stop for her.
The help martial Dao offered her had reached its limit.
All that remained was for it to provide Su Bai with a place to create her own Cultivation Technique and safely plant Spirit Medicine.
Ye Guojiang looked at the ten small jade bottles in his hand.
Each bottle contained ten Medicinal Pills.
By the time he came back to his senses and looked towards Su Bai,
Su Bai's figure was already gone.
Ye Guojiang's heart trembled slightly, and he understood that this might truly be the last time the Master and Disciple would meet.
"Heh heh, well, it's my fortune to have had a Disciple like Su Bai."
Shaking his head, Ye Guojiang carefully put away the Monster Beast Pills and placed them in the secret room of his own room.
Looking at his desk and writing brush and ink in the secret room,
he suddenly had an impulse.
He unfolded the paper and ground the ink.
Following his thoughts, he began to paint.
With his Grandmaster-level understanding of martial Dao, a painting came easily to him.
When Ye Guojiang stopped his brush,
on the table in front of him, a lifelike portrait was displayed.
Su Bai's calm and serene image leaped onto the paper.
"What a painting!"
On the other side, after Su Bai left the Mingyu Sect,
she had previously gone to the Demon Hunting Association.
Now she was going to find Lin Feng.
First, she wanted to ask about the Yao King.
Su Bai was very interested in the fact that a being could still reach the Late Stage of Body Refining in this Spirit Qi-scarce world.
Because this meant that the Yao King's talent was very high.
If it had been born in the Immortal Realm,
the Yao King's achievements would undoubtedly be even higher.
It was very likely to be at the Foundation Establishment, or even Core Formation Realm.
This made Su Bai think.
If the Yao King had a Yao Core,
would it be safer to let the Yao King become a second-order Yao Beast, then hunt it down and extract its Yao Core?
It might even be safer than going to that Zhenyi Secret Realm.
After all, going to the Zhenyi Secret Realm would require fighting different Cultivators, which could easily expose herself.
What if a Disciple from a certain School inadvertently provoked her, and then she eliminated him?
If discovered afterward, it was highly likely that the elders would come after her for killing the younger ones.
How could Su Bai then Cultivate peacefully?
The risk was too great!
So, Su Bai wanted to inquire about this Yao King matter.
When Su Bai arrived at the Demon Hunting Association,
she easily entered using her identity token.
But she also received a piece of news:
Of the three great Gui Zhen Warriors of the Demon Hunting Association,
two were dead and one was injured!
