The old Emperor Duan was purely cultivating in the mountain valley of the Qi Lan Mountains. On the surface, he didn't seem to care about worldly affairs, but in reality, he cared about his Empire of Yu all the time. The old emperor was well aware of what had happened in Mount Qilan recently, and he was sweating profusely.
"Is it really a newborn calf that isn't afraid of a tiger?" "What sort of person is Duan Ru Yue? You actually dare to scheme against him?"
"If Duan Meng were to get angry, it would be more than enough to annihilate the entire Yu Empire!"
"Too young, too young."
For the past few days, Duan Zhen had been muttering to himself, and the servants beside him were at a loss as to what to do.
"This won't do. I need to think of a perfect plan. I must protect the dragon veins of the Empire of Yu!"
"What should we do? "What should I do?" The old man had been racking his brains for the past few days, trying his best to think of a way to get rid of this idea. What should I do?
As expected of the old emperor, he had finally thought of a way.
"Servants," "Does the emperor have any orders?"
"Go to Young Master Duan's residence and ask around. I want to meet Young Master Duan." The servant accepted the order and returned after a long time. "Your Highness, Young Master Duan invited you." Duan Zhen was overjoyed. It seemed that his first step of his plan was about to succeed. He felt somewhat comforted in his heart.
"The Emperor has arrived. I heard that he has been training all this time. How is it?" Duan Meng had a good impression of the Emperor, unlike the young Emperor, Duan Qin. Although the old Emperor was a scheming person, he wasn't a treacherous disciple, unlike the little Emperor Duan Qin and was a treacherous vile character. The recent events had made Duan Ling Tian extremely furious. He wished he could mobilize an army and annihilate the Great Yu Dynasty. But in the blink of an eye, he realized that he was an Immortal cultivator who was not interested in the politics of the dynasty.
"Young Master Duan, I've heard of some small dangers recently. I've come here to pay my respects."
"Thank you, your majesty. It's all a little mischief. Your majesty isn't too bad. I've recently bestowed Fire Dragon City to the Pill Sect. I'm very happy that their strength has greatly increased!"
"It's good that Young Master Duan likes me. If Young Master Duan doesn't mind, I'll write a letter and give it to my son. I'll give you two more Prefectures, how about that?"
Duan Ling Tian felt slightly disdainful in his heart. The old Emperor was starting to use sugar-coated artillery shells to besiege him. He wasn't a member of the imperial government, so why would he need so many prefectures and counties? Fire Dragon Continent was the home of Mount Qilan, he would have taken it if he wanted it. He would have to take it for other counties, but it would be troublesome and he wouldn't fall for it.
"Thank you, your highness. No need. One Fire Dragon Continent is enough. I still have things to do. If your highness has nothing else to do, you can go back. I'll get someone to give you some Sky Dragon Grass later."
"Wait, Young Master Duan, I have something to say."
The old emperor came before Duan Jidao and knelt down with a thump.
"Please accept me as your disciple, master." Duan Jian was completely stunned. The old emperor was old enough to be his grandfather, but he still wanted to take him as his master. Wasn't that a bit of a joke?
"The past few years have come to my mind. All things are empty words, and only longevity is the pursuit of life. I will throw away the desire of wealth and begin to clean up my cultivation. Master, please accept me as your old disciple!"
He didn't want to accept a disciple at all. At the very least, right now, he didn't want to. A few years ago, he had accepted Duan Qin and caused a change in the Pill Sect.
This was especially so for the imperial family. As a politician, Duan Ru Yue was extremely detested. A person who had their heart filled with greed would find it difficult to educate them properly. How could they become his disciples?
"This won't do. I've already taken your son Duan Qin as my disciple. How can I take you as my disciple again? Isn't this nonsense?" Master, didn't you sever your master-disciple relationship with my son? I have rejoined the fraternity for my son, to repay the grace of my master. "
Duan Ru Yue smiled bitterly. It seemed that the old emperor was determined to get his hands on it. He wanted to see what this old emperor had to say.
"Your Highness, how about this. You must give me a suitable reason. If you can convince me, I will accept you as my disciple."
The old emperor, Duan Zhen, kowtowed to Duan Meng ten times and took out an old sheepskin from his chest.
Duan Jian was shocked. Old sheepskin? Alright, the old emperor really does have something good.
Duan Ling Tian was disappointed when he received it. It turned out to be a map of the Empire of Yu. Duan Ling Tian smiled. "Old Emperor, I'm not the Emperor, what's the use of giving me the map of the Empire of Yu?"
"Master, you really don't need it? "What about this map?"
Duan Zhen took out another old sheepskin, Duan Ru was dumbfounded by what he saw: it was a map of the 36 continents. It was the complete and detailed type. To Duan Meng, this was definitely a treasure because in the future, he would have to travel across the entire 36 continents. If he had a map, it would be much more convenient.
Needless to say, Duan Ru Yue was moved: "Alright, I'll accept you as my disciple, but, if you want to undergo the soul test, do you dare?
The old emperor doesn't know what the soul test is either?
"Let go of your mind consciousness. Let me examine what is in the depths of your soul."
"Dare, I have no secrets."
Duan Ling Tian was stunned. Since that was the case, then he could be sure that the old Emperor was sincere. After the soul test, Duan Ru mainly cared about whether or not he had the intention to rebel. As for other matters, Duan Ru couldn't be bothered to test them out. It would take a long time before Duan Ru Yue passed.
"Alright, Duan Zhen. Today, you're my first disciple. Hahaha, I'm sure you want to laugh."
"Master, you think it's funny, but I feel so happy. I have the number one master in the world, there's hope for me to live forever in the future."
Duan Ling Tian laughed loudly. It seemed that the Emperor was used to being flattered, and his ability to flatter others wasn't bad as well.
"There are 50 thousand Tier 6 spiritual pills and a Tier 1 to 5 secret manual for refining pills. Which one do you want?"
Duan Zhen thought for a moment. "Master, teaching others how to use fishes is better than teaching them how to use fishes. I want to concoct pills."
"Alright, you are currently not of the first rank. You can start from the first rank."
"Master, when I was in the palace, I could concoct Tier 4 pills!"
"Oh?" "I didn't expect that you, an emperor, would have the time to refine pills."
"Speaking of which, I'm ashamed. I originally wanted to be an alchemist, but my father forcefully pushed me to the throne."
"Alright, then we'll start washing and refining rank 5 secret manuals. As long as you learn it within a year, I'll teach you a rank 6 alchemy method and can also be considered as a helper. This rank 6 alchemy pill will start to have intelligence, and you absolutely cannot pass it down to others."
Duan Zhen happily accepted the manual. "Master, I'll be going back to concoct pills then. If you don't understand something, you have to return it back to me. I'll follow you when you leave."
After Duan Qin left, Bu Baoyuan entered.
"Young Master Duan, you've accepted a disciple. Is it the Emperor?"
"Haha, I guess so. This guy gave me a map. I really can't refuse."
"What kind of map can move young master?"
"It's a complete map of the 36 continents. This is a treasure. I wonder where Duan Zhen got it from …"
"He is the emperor of the Empire of Yu. He has been an emperor for decades. I estimate that his treasures are not only here, there will definitely be many of them ".
Duan Meng's heart trembled. "That's true. However, as a master, I can't force myself. I'll slowly find out, this pure father and son pair are both very scheming people. They really aren't suitable to be my disciples."
