Accepting Disciple [1]

The pair Jiang father and son sat in the hall looking at the gold crate while feeling indignant in their heart. Yuan Lin knows what they are feeling so he kept silent.

However, if they do not know how to take advantage of the enemy, how can they make their enemy suffer? With only a straightforward manner, one can achieve justice but there is no fun to it. If one looking at one way, they can only see the gold coins as a humiliation but if one look in another way, this is a capital for them to be stronger and force their enemy to pay even more.

"If you see the money as a humiliation then better return it to them but then, your enemy will be the winning party while you ended up with nothing and only humiliation. Rather than see the money like that, you should use their money to make their life suffer even more." He said and the pair father and son showed a helpless smile.

"They still have to pay us one hundred fold of this amount." Yuan Lin added and Jiang Chen showed a surprised look.

"Do you think I am kidding when I said ancestor promise equal to a kingdom fortune?"

"No..." Jiang Chen shook his head. He did not think such a thing. He was thinking about something else.

"Since they owed us something we have to make sure they paid it, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded but he became even more depressed. Although he said that he will be making the Golden Cloud Sect cry, he knew that he does not have that ability. He thought that he is strong already but when he faced against the youth from the sect, only then he knew that he is like a frog facing against a huge snake. His earlier words are only to save his face.

Yuan Lin could guess what the boy is thinking and his father also seems to have the same thought.

"You are doubting yourself, isn't that right?" Yuan Lin probed.

"... Profound master Shui. Even you said that I am a trash, how can I fight for my pride?" Jiang Chen said after contemplating about.

Yuan Lin directly replied. "I said that you are trash in the other eyes but not in mine."

The boy had his head lowered all the time and now he looked upward just to see the man in front of him was smiling warmly at him.

"You possessed Gouging Divine Lightning innate born but you cultivated the Qilin Thunder Cultivation manual. Although the manual is yellow grade cultivation technique, it is not suitable for you and even detrimental for your real talent. How can you advance like that? Furthermore, because of the wrong cultivation technique, your right hand is stronger than your left even though your left hand used to be the strongest.

Such a talent is buried deep by his own family. I do not blame your father for not knowing because this innate born is so rare that only three people have ever clarified they have it in the history. However, if you think that is all to it that made people think you are trash then you are wrong. In this matter, you are also at fault."

Jiang Chen bit his lower lip as he knew what the master is talking about. Jiang Li was shocked to know that his son really does possess the rarest innate born but he became confused when he heard the master said his son is also at fault.

The boy soon knelt in front of Yuan Lin and begged for help. "Profound Master Shui, please help this unworthy son."

Yuan Lin kept silence. He did not bluff when he said Jiang Chen is at fault because he found out that from his discerning eyes, Jiang Chen's soul cauldron once shattered and a treasure helped him repaired the cauldron but it is no longer the same. After all, the treasure has only just formed its treasure core and was already forced to help the boy to repair his soul cauldron. It is fine for that to happen but the reason he said Jiang Chen is at fault because the boy himself caused his soul cauldron to shatter for the sake of saving someone.

"You are too reckless." Yuan Lin said and the boy lowered his head.

A beat later, the boy heard a sigh. "You are reckless but you are kind. I am willing to help."

Jiang Chen looked upward and his eyes are teary. The person he saved is a stranger but an extremely young girl. He knows nothing about martial art or any healing technique but he knew that people can exchange their soul cauldron to save someone's life. Without hesitant, he linked his soul cauldron with the girl and transfer his life essence. If not for the treasure his mother left for him, he would have died and his father will be left alone. Even then, if the master refused to help him, he still won't regret his decision to help the girl.

"I am willing to help but I have to test you first. Three days from now, you have to find several things that I will be listing later. Whether you use the money from the Golden Cloud Sect or not, you have to find these things on your own without your father's help. Only after that, I will restore your talent." This time, he is bluffing but the items he asked to find are indeed related to the boy restoration process.

After he finished listing up the materials to be searched, Yuan Lin stood and smiled. "I will be cultivating in seclusion. If there is any problem, you may find me in my room."

Jiang Chen looked at his father and nodded his head. He is prepared to go find the material the master is telling him to find.

... ... ...

Yuan Lin is not proficient in handling the spiritual energy just yet even though his brain already has the information of the Archaic Fluid Innate and the Degree of Water technique. He sat in his room and sat in a lotus position as he digested the information in his mind. He is already strong physically and soul but if he cannot control the water as casual as he wanted, then he is a failure to his innate.

Unlike the other people whose innate has simpler elements like fire, water, earth and wind, Yuan Lin innate is way more different. He is similar to the people who have Pure Yin or Pure Yang innate born but his is a lot more complex. Archaic Fluid means the earliest, even ancestral to every other fluid element. It is not a king to any element but it is the origin of every fluid. It is not necessarily strong but it is without weakness.

As long as he has a deep understanding in the Daoism, he can manipulate any fluid regardless of element and type.

The reason he gave Jiang Chen three days is not that he is confident in the boy to find what he asked but it is because he needs three days to cultivate in seclusion and understand his innate born.
