Nightin saw the old man pick him up from the ground before he fainted as he closed his eyes. His body and mind had already went past its limit from that battle. His wounds were serious enough to make him a cripple for life and make it impossible for his cultivation to advance any further.
In the forest,a old man could be seen treating Nightin as he took out a box of needles and a bottle of elixir liquid. Picking up the bottle,he poured the liquid directly on Nightin"s bone since he wouldn"t feel any pain considering that he has already fainted.
Before the liquid could spread or leak to the ground,he picked up his needle and stabbed four different areas of the bone in quick succession,making it impossible for the liquid to escape as it started to get absorbed by the bones.
Seeing that the first process was done,the old man exhaled deeply as he took out a elixir. The elixir has a single white line on it which curved diagonally from top to bottom,the strong medicinal smell of the elixir could be smelled. Slowly prying open Nightin"s mouth carefully,he helped Nightin to swallow the elixir.
Once the elixir has been swallowed,he slowly helped Nightin to guide the effects of the elixir through the meridians in his body as it slowly spreads to every part of his body. By the time he was done, Nightin"s flesh has already started to grow back at a speed which can be seen by the naked eye,the rest was up to when he would recover.
The old man slowly breathed as he sat down beside the campfire he had made to recover his spirit energy. Swallowing a few elixirs down,he sped up his progress rapidly as he waited for Nightin to recover from his coma at the side.
Three days later,Nightin woke up only to see that his body was fine and that he wasn"t feeling any pain at all. Scanning around,he saw a old man looking at him with his eyes wide opened as though as if he has seen a ghost.
The old man raised up his index finger as he pointed it towards Nightin "Are you a ghost? There"s no way you could have recovered this quickly? Even if the process was fast,it would have taken up to a few months at least..."
Nightin shook his head as he smiled towards the old man and bowed to him. "Thank you for saving my life senior. The only reason that I"m alive and awake right now is because of my body"s special const.i.tution,but it"s a secret I can"t explain to you."
The old man took a few deep breathes and looked at Nightin again and again to confirm that he"s definitely still a human that"s alive right now. Pointing his finger towards the side of the cave opposite him,he told Nightin "Young lad,why don"t you sit down and have a small chat with me?"
Nightin sat down as he started to have a long conversation with the old man as they chatted with each other over some great wine.
Back in the Nirvana sect,Lancelot and the disciples have all been making continuous breakthroughs. Right now,even the weakest disciples are at the Martial Master realm.
As for the Azure Dragons,their number have already reached a thousand,all of them being at least of the middle grade Martial Master as well,it can be said that they"re the strongest force in the Nirvana sect with the highest authority right now.
Lancelot invited Alexander to join him for a drink as he started to discuss with him about the sect"s overall development.
"Alexander,do you have any ways to obtain much more resources for the sect, it"s about time we start giving them their monthly cultivation resources."
Alexander looked at the ground as the leaves rustled with the pa.s.sing of the wind. Looking at elder Isabella who had just joined in their conversation,he started "I have a plan in mid,but I"m not sure if it will work out."
Isabella and Lancelot asked in unison "What is it?" The both of them wants to know the plan,the development of the sect is in their hands right now since their sect master Nightin is away.
Alexander continued "Now that my army have a strength of a thousand and all the bandits in the area have been cleared out,we can consider splitting the other nine armies besides mine into nine hundred man commanders. Eighty percent of the rewards they earn will go to them while twenty percent will go to the sect,in return, they"ll have access to the utilities and cultivation grounds of the sect. It"s a win win situation right?"
Back in the cave,Nightin was still continuing the conversation with the old man until he suddenly asked Nightin a question "Aren"t you curious about my ident.i.ty?"
Nightin replied as he took another gulp of wine "It doesn"t matter what your ident.i.ty is, I"m sure that you save me without the slightest intention of me wanting to pay you back. Otherwise you would have killed me and taken my spatial ring before escaping without anyone knowing that you"re the killer."
The old man stood up as he looked outside the cave,his back view facing Nightin "I"m the hall master of the alchemist hall in Cloud Moon city,or you can also know me as one of the top ten alchemists in the world who exceeds the mere realm of Alchemist Grandmaster."
"Vzzt!"
A thunder went off in Nightin"s head,never had he expected the old man to have such a background and terrifying ident.i.ty. The top ten alchemists who exceeds the Alchemist Grandmaster stage can only exist in the upper realm,not to mention standing above the crowd in the upper realm.
Nightin took a deep gulp of saliva as he smiled while shaking his head "Senior, why did you save me and what are you doing in the lower realm?"
The old man laughed as he replied "I merely saved you because I felt like doing so as for your second question, I"m afraid that I can"t answer you."
Nightin nodded as he replied simply "I understand."
The old man after that continued his conversation with Nightin as he got Nightin to call him by his surname Lin.
Nightin looked at Lin Ming as he asked "Senior Lin,is there by any chance that you can cooperate with our sect?"
Lin Ming laughed as he looked at Nightin and replied "A cooperation is impossible between us."
Nightin looked down and shook his head while saying "I should have expected this,how could someone like senior lower your status to help me out after all."
Lin Ming looked at Nightin as he said "What if I say that I can"t work together with you,but I can join your sect?"
Nightin spat out his wine as he shouted "What!"
Lin Ming looked at him and said solemnly "There"s nothing such as a free lunch in this world though,I expect you to help me kill someone in the upper realm,can you do it?"
Nightin and Lin Ming gradually came to a conclusion about their cooperation with each other.Lin Ming officially joins the sect as their head alchemist and is given the privilege to take in disciples under him so long as he wants to.
