Eighty-nine Supreme Heavenly Arts, Fourth Senior Sister!
“Revered Master!”
“I brought Junior Brother to see you.”
Qi Daoyi stepped forward and bowed slightly to the stone statue.
After doing all this, Qi Daoyi looked at Lin Dong and smiled gently, “Junior Brother, go! Revered Master is very easy to talk to.”
“Thump!”
“Disciple Lin Dong, greets Revered Master!”
Lin Dong took a deep breath and knelt on a futon in front of him.
He performed the Disciple initiation ceremony again, with utmost sincerity.
Qi Daoyi watched Lin Dong kowtow three times and bow nine times, and couldn't help but nervously glance at the stone statue, “Revered Master, your Disciple has brought back Little Nine from thousands of miles away, you must give some reaction!”
As Lin Dong finished the Disciple initiation ceremony, the stone statue remained unresponsive.
Lin Dong was dumbfounded.
Qi Daoyi remained silent.
It was as if time stood still.
Buzz!
The next moment, divine light bloomed, and Law rippled.
The previously motionless stone statue suddenly glowed brightly, mysterious runes swirling around it, as if it had come alive.
Lin Dong was startled.
Qi Daoyi's face showed delight.
Suddenly, the stone statue's eyes radiated boundless light, which landed on Lin Dong's forehead.
Lin Dong was greatly alarmed and was about to resist when he heard Third Senior Brother's gentle voice, “Junior Brother, don't resist, this is Revered Master's welcome gift to you!”
Lin Dong relaxed and carefully sensed the information surging into him.
An ethereal and profound Qi emanated from him, and his brows were majestic, as if a grand Supreme aura was flowing out.
“This is the aura of the Eight Nine Supreme Celestial Skill?”
Qi Daoyi was greatly surprised; he would never mistake this familiar aura.
The Eight Nine Supreme Celestial Skill was the Legacy secret art of Thatched Cottage, and one of the foundations that allowed every Thatched Cottage Disciple to awe all directions.
“It seems Revered Master really likes this Junior Brother!”
“We all only qualified to Cultivate this Celestial Skill after Breakthrough to the King Realm.”
“You gave it to Junior Brother as soon as he joined, Revered Master, that's a bit biased.”
Qi Daoyi looked at the stone statue, somewhat displeased, and said jokingly, while also genuinely happy for Lin Dong.
Receiving the Eight Nine Supreme Celestial Skill meant that Revered Master had completely acknowledged this Junior Brother.
Buzz!
The aura around Lin Dong grew even more resplendent. His eyes were closed, but his hands were forming abstruse hand seals, moving faster and faster, even manifesting two additional arms.
“Four arms!”
“He's already comprehended the basics so quickly?”
“Junior Brother's Comprehension Ability is a bit Prodigy-like!”
Qi Daoyi stood quietly to the side, watching Lin Dong without speaking, but seeing Lin Dong's state, a strange glint flickered in his eyes.
The mystery of the Eight Nine Supreme Celestial Skill lay in its ability to simultaneously unleash several Divine Ability without any reduction in power.
In fact, it could even achieve an effect of one plus one equals ten.
Upon comprehending the basics, one could unleash four Divine Ability simultaneously; Cultivating to the deepest level, one could operate nine Divine Ability at once, their power undiminished, all striking down together.
Back then, when he Cultivated the Celestial Skill, it took him a month and a half to comprehend the basics.
And the fastest, Senior Brother, took nearly a month.
They had personally comprehended the Eight Nine Supreme Celestial Skill and understood how difficult it truly was.
But what about the Junior Brother in front of him? He had just obtained the Eight Nine Supreme Celestial Skill, and by all accounts, it had only been a quarter of an hour.
He immediately comprehended the basics on the spot.
His talent and Comprehension Ability were so Prodigy-like that even Qi Daoyi, who was considered a Prodigy by the world, felt ashamed of his own inferiority.
Junior Brother's talent far surpassed theirs.
No wonder Revered Master gave the Eight Nine Supreme Celestial Skill to Junior Brother so quickly; it seems Revered Master, that old man, had seen Junior Brother's extraordinariness.
“What a profound secret art hand seal!”
Lin Dong exited his Cultivation state, but his eyes were filled with admiration for this art, having heard that it was a secret art of Thatched Cottage not to be passed down.
This secret art would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger for him.
With his terrifying Divine Ability, he often had the dilemma of not knowing which Divine Ability to use.
But with the Eight Nine Celestial Skill, no matter how many Divine Ability, he could just unleash them all at once.
Imagine Lin Dong unleashing a barrage of Emperor Rank Divine Ability with one hand at his opponent; the opponent would definitely question their existence.
Just the Eight Nine Supreme Celestial Skill secret art alone significantly boosted Lin Dong's combat power, making this trip worthwhile.
“Congratulations, Junior Brother, on receiving Revered Master's approval!”
“You have officially become the ninth Disciple of our Thatched Cottage!”
Qi Daoyi's gentle voice came, still with a spring breeze-like smile, but his eyes were full of admiration for Lin Dong.
“Originally, your entry into the sect is a major event for our Thatched Cottage.”
“As your Senior Brother and Senior Sister, we should hold a grand banquet to celebrate Junior Brother's entry.”
“But we returned too suddenly, and besides me and Fourth Senior Apprentice Sister, there's no one else in Thatched Cottage.”
“Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister went to Zhongzhou, and several Junior Brother are training outside, so... please forgive Junior Brother.”
Qi Daoyi sighed, feeling that Lin Dong's entry was too hasty and that he had let Lin Dong down.
Lin Dong, however, didn't care about these formalities and smiled, “Senior Brother, I don't care about these things. I believe there will always be opportunities to meet the other Senior Brother and Senior Sister in the future.”
“Hmm, let's go, I'll take you to your room.”
Qi Daoyi was afraid that Lin Dong might be displeased with the other Senior Brother and Senior Sister, creating a rift, which was why he explained. But seeing Lin Dong's demeanor, he was relieved.
They returned the same way, passing through the long corridor.
As they passed a house, there was another earth-shattering bang, and the door burst open with a crash, a disheveled figure flying out.
“Damn it, failed again!”
Lin Dong and Qi Daoyi stopped, quietly watching the little loli, whose face was blackened like a calico cat, stomp her foot in annoyance.
“Junior Sister, did you fail again?”
“Don't worry too much. Your Senior Sister is just an Alchemy maniac.”
Qi Daoyi's spring breeze-like voice sounded, and he looked at Lin Dong.
Lin Dong also looked curiously at this Fourth Senior Apprentice Sister. This was his first time seeing an Alchemist, and he was quite interested in Alchemy.
The house was filled with the fragrance of Medicinal Pill, combined with the earlier explosion of the furnace.
The Medicinal Pill this Senior Sister was refining clearly wasn't of a low Rank, but why did she look a bit... not very smart?
“Hmm? Third Senior Brother, you're back.”
The little loli seemed to be immersed in her own world and only realized that there were two other people standing behind her after a moment ofstunned.
“Huh, why is there an extra person?”
But she quickly noticed Lin Dong beside Qi Daoyi and asked curiously.
Qi Daoyi said seriously, “Little Senior Sister, let me introduce you. This is Lin Dong, our Thatched Cottage's newly admitted Ninth Junior Brother.”
“Lin Dong, this is your Fourth Senior Apprentice Sister, Ye Wanqing.”
Qi Daoyi's words made Fourth Senior Apprentice Sister widen her eyes and curiously examine Lin Dong, “So it's Junior Brother, you're quite handsome!”
Lin Dong cupped his hands, “Lin Dong greets Fourth Senior Apprentice Sister.”
Fourth Senior Apprentice Sister put her hands behind her back, pretending to be old and wise, and nodded, “Hmm, not bad, quite polite indeed!”
“Here, this is Senior Sister's welcome gift for you!”
“Don't be shy, just eat them like candy. If you don't have enough, just come to Senior Sister for more.”
“Senior Sister has nothing else, but Medicinal Pill are plentiful.”
Fourth Senior Apprentice Sister waved her hand, and a small jade bottle emanating a rich Medicinal Pill fragrance appeared before Lin Dong. She patted her chest, saying proudly.
Hiss!
Smelling the strong Medicinal Pill fragrance, Lin Dong couldn't help but glance at the Medicinal Pill bottle.
It was fine if he didn't look, but once he did, he was startled.
Upon seeing the Medicinal Pill inside, Lin Dong couldn't help but gasp, the bottle was full of Medicinal Pill.
Dozens of precious Emperor Rank Medicinal Pill, and some other Emperor Rank Medicinal Pill he couldn't name, the worst of which were King Realm Medicinal Pill.
