49: With billions of wealth and fortune, you will be close to people and have billions of money, and your wealth will be unparalleled!
“What!? Eighteen years old and he knows this technique!? His Flame Control has even reached the pinnacle of perfection!?”
The red figure shouted in disbelief, clearly bewildered.
The red figure cursed enviously, “Is this kid’s mom a Pill Furnace or something? How can he be so good at Alchemy?”
General Liu looked awkward, pointing to the side, “Revered Master, the main person is right next to me. He’s still a child, so please be more civil.”
The red figure fell silent for a moment, the mosaic over his head spinning for a long time, his voice exceptionally stifled, “Is this black and white mosaic a person?
I thought you had a panda hot water bottle.
Seriously, you should quickly sort out your Formation studies. It’s not that I’m complaining, but even a blind person would regain their sight after seeing it.”
General Liu’s head throbbed, and he couldn’t help but retort, “Revered Master, just tell me what to do about this matter. Don’t keep harping on my Formation studies.”
The red figure waved his hand, “You quickly move aside and let him stand in the middle. You old geezer are hogging the… *cough cough*, civility, civility. Anyway, kid, you stand in the middle.”
General Liu wordlessly stepped aside, letting Tang Gao move forward.
The red figure swayed his head for a while, and two thick, head-sized mosaics appeared on his shoulders. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “I’ve opened my Three Heads and Six Arms and still can’t see clearly. Seriously, don’t turn back. After we deal with this, you immediately bring me your compulsory Formation studies. I’ll personally teach you how to cultivate it!
I really can’t stand your blind Spell. If this isn’t processed and released, it’s purely an illusionary curse!”
General Liu sighed deeply, his expression melancholic, as he once again remembered the fear of being dominated by compulsory Formation studies after so many years.
It’s been so many years since he graduated, why is he still clinging to it?
After scolding his disciple, the three thick mosaic heads looked for a long time, finally defeated by his disciple’s shoddy Spell, “Alright, little fellow, I can’t see anything, but I trust my disciple’s judgment. What do you seek by joining my sect?”
Tang Gao cupped his hands and respectfully said, “You are very rich!”
The red figure chuckled, his three thick mosaic heads swaying back and forth, “Interesting, interesting. Young man, you are very interesting. I think highly of you!
Alright, tomorrow you can have that silly dog next to you arrange a spatial teleportation Formation to Qingkai. Then, a simple apprenticeship ceremony will suffice.”
Tang Gao hesitated for a moment and said, “Zunzhe, I want to take the college entrance examination. This is a part of my life, and I want to experience it by myself.”
The red figure was puzzled, “What? What’s the difference between you participating and slaughtering pigs? Children’s thoughts are truly strange.”
You dare to exchange a first-order life for a third-order one. No matter how strong those little rookies are, it’s impossible for them to adjust their mindset and strength to your level.
Tang Gao remembered his deskmate, who would loudly chatter and pull him into conversations every day, while he would only hum in response. He couldn’t help but laugh, “Because I need to spend time tutoring my buddy. His academic test is a bit weak, and time is precious, so I can’t waste this valuable time.”
The red figure laughed loudly, patting the armrest several times, “Good, good, good, that’s loyal! I approve! I’ll grant you special permission to come after your college entrance examination!”
General Liu quickly added, “Revered Master, you must quickly make an internal decision and prepare the spot in advance, lest someone else snatches it.”
The red figure raised his three thick mosaic arms, patted his three thick mosaic heads, and swayed, “I almost forgot about this. I haven’t personally recruited disciples for many years, so I’ve almost forgotten this whole process. Young man, wait a moment.”
Tang Gao stood in place, puzzled, waiting for the red figure to rummage through things.
Soon, the red figure found a book and flipped through the pages with a rustling sound.
The red figure turned to a certain page and suddenly realized, “So this is how the recruitment process works… Forget it, it’s too troublesome. I’ll find some unlucky fellow to handle this mess for me.
Young man, if you encounter any trouble during this time, I will teach you an Edict. You can just use it directly then. It can directly summon my Incarnation, Clone, Divided Soul, or even my main body.
Usually, when you encounter a big problem, just make a change in the Edict to let me know you’re calling me personally, and it’ll be fine.”
Tang Gao looked bewildered, “What Edict?”
The red figure cleared his throat, “Ahem, first, you need to recite the Na Zunzhe Edict, and then directly state whether you need to summon my Incarnation, Clone, Divided Soul, or main body. Oh, right, later you can ask this stupid disciple of mine for an Edict manual. When you encounter a situation, you’ll know which of my Clones is easier to summon to solve the problem.
Of course, if you don’t know who to summon, you can directly state what problem you’ve encountered, and my Clone will handle it automatically. Usually, a solution will appear within three seconds.
However, this requires you to hold on for three seconds. As long as you don’t die within three seconds, the person you summon will arrive immediately.”
Tang Gao looked bewildered, “Huh?”
Such a high-end thing as an Edict, why does it reek of summoning people when it comes from your mouth?
The red figure was very proud, patting his chest, “I’m telling you, for problems below Eight-Order, if you shout an Edict, a bunch of Clones will descend to back you up.
For problems within Eight-Order, I can also defeat a large number of people, and if you encounter a Ninth-Order, I can also protect you.
Of course, if you provoke a Tenth-Order, I don’t know you.”
Tang Gao was torn between laughter and tears, “Okay, thank you, Zunzhe.”
The red figure said proudly, “Hehe, still calling me Zunzhe? You give me your data later, and I’ll have someone customize a set of First-Order Magical Artifacts for you. Second-Order ones would be too much of a burden for you, so you can use First-Order ones for now.
Once you advance, I’ll arrange a Second-Order set for you.”
Tang Gao was moved to tears, his voice loud, “Thank you, Teacher!”
Wuwuwu! He’s too sincere, I can’t refuse!
General Liu, you were right!
Teacher is indeed approachable due to his wealth, immensely rich, and unparalleled in his financial power.
A teacher who is so protective and wealthy is simply a beacon in my life!
General Liu breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face, “Good, this matter is settled. Kid, this Edict is immensely powerful. At your stage, there’s nothing that one Edict can’t solve.
If there is, then use another one.
Anyone with an ounce of discernment, upon hearing your Edict begin with the Na Zunzhe Edict, will prostrate themselves and beg for mercy faster than you can utter the next word.”
Tang Gao was touched. Was this like having an Eight-Order Great Power cover for him from the start? “Okay! After my college entrance examination, I will definitely throw a grand apprenticeship banquet for Teacher!”
General Liu laughed heartily, his smile radiant, “Very good, very good!”
The red figure also laughed, “Alright, this matter is over. Little fellow, you go out for a bit. I’m going to tutor my disciple.”
General Liu’s hearty laughter abruptly stopped, the smile on his face instantly vanishing, transferring to Tang Gao’s face.
Tang Gao tried hard to suppress his laughter. The heroic general, so majestic and imposing to outsiders, was actually so miserable in front of his Revered Master.
“Okay, I’ll continue to watch the activities. General Liu, good Luck with your tutoring.”
General Liu gave two dry laughs, only able to watch Tang Gao leave, then looked helplessly at Na Zunzhe.
“Teacher… it doesn’t have to be like this…”
The red figure’s three heads carefully confirmed that the panda hot water bottle in the image had indeed left the command room, and he burst into curses, “That crappy Formation thesis of yours back then not only had no competitiveness whatsoever in the Immortal Realm, but it also ruined my reputation in the education world!
I get angry every time I think about it!
So many years have passed, and your Formation is still so bad!
I even want to call 911 for an ambulance to check your brain. Every time something happens, you make me suffer from light and sound pollution.
So, the one suffering isn’t you, is it?”
General Liu turned his head, confirmed Tang Gao had left, and immediately waved his hand to cast a Spell to seal the area, his expression turning serious, “Revered Master, this kid has a bit of a problem. I need to trouble you to investigate.”
Na Zunzhe chuckled, “Damn it, why didn’t you say so when you came in? So you’re planting landmines for me, huh?
You don’t think of me when there’s something good, but you throw a hot potato into my arms when you encounter one.
You really are filial to death.”
General Liu said speechlessly, “Revered Master, am I such a malicious person? The heavenly secrets involved with this little fellow are too profound; I can’t divine them.”
Na Zunzhe was so angry he laughed, “Your crappy algorithm is only slightly better than your Formation. It’s the second-to-last result that ruined my reputation in the education world.
It would be strange if you could divine anything.”
General Liu was utterly speechless and told his Revered Master the detailed ins and outs of the matter, also sending over the relevant data.
After reading the data, Na Zunzhe didn’t forget to mock, his six arms beginning to pinch his fingers to divine the heavenly secrets, “Watch closely, learn well, see how I perform, you useless dog.”
General Liu sighed twice, patiently waiting for the result of his Revered Master’s divination of heavenly secrets.
A minute passed, and Na Zunzhe was still calculating.
General Liu was slightly puzzled. With his Revered Master’s Eight-Order level, was this really that difficult to calculate?
Three minutes passed, and Na Zunzhe was still calculating.
General Liu’s expression became slightly grave. It seemed that the other Eight-Order Great Power involved was skilled in counter-divination, able to obscure relevant heavenly secrets and Luck, which was normal.
Ten minutes passed, and Na Zunzhe’s six hands were pinching so hard they almost sparked, his fingers looking as if they were clashing with each other.
General Liu’s mouth twitched, feeling that he had gotten into big trouble.
Half an hour later, Na Zunzhe stopped his finger-pinching divination and fell into severe self-doubt, “It makes no sense, it’s impossible, how could everything be empty?”
How come the heavenly secrets just aren’t running?
Why are all the answers from the heavenly secrets empty?
Where exactly did my algorithm go wrong?
Did I miss a separator in one of my finger pinches?
General Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Revered Master, what do we do now?”
Na Zunzhe was silent for a moment, then his six arms began to dance wildly, “I refuse to accept this! Tell him to come see me after his college entrance examination!”
There’s no cultivation without going crazy, it’s just a matter of time.
