253: Meeting old friends

Tang Tian felt it was incredible; wasn't the Ironclad Boar dead long ago?

How was it still alive now?

Before the Ironclad Boar could ask, he asked first.

After a moment of silence, he asked: "Speaking of which, aren't you dead?"

The Ironclad Boar looked sentimental as it said: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Zhu Ze."

He interrupted directly, saying: "Wait, why are you named after an animal?"

He considered himself a master of naming; he had given Great Yellow Black Lacquer such a nice name, as well as Iron Earth, and he was preparing to name the pig, Tie Li, as well.

Zhu Ze said with a face full of black lines: "Not 'Pig', it's 'Zhu'!"

He said: "The same 'Zhu' as Mr. Zhu's surname?"

The Ironclad Boar nodded proudly. It was a Cultivator sent by the Pig Clan to participate in the Azure Wave Immortal Pool competition, and it also knew about this figure in Qingmu County.

Zhu Ze said: "Don't you think my name is very clever?"

But he didn't feel that way at all; having the surname 'Zhu' made it feel even less clever.

Zhu Ze looked rather smug.

However, Zhu Ze was just as carefree as Iron Earth; even when Iron Earth's whole family died, it only took a day or two to recover.

However, since Iron Earth's father was still alive, its name couldn't be used anymore; let's see what its father decides to name it later.

Zhu Ze then said: "At the time, I also thought I was dead, but I didn't expect to be saved by Chi Daizi. Then he told me that I was a hostage given to him by the Pig Clan."

"He didn't expect that I would court death myself."

Speaking of this, Zhu Ze's expression appeared very helpless.

Zhu Ze said speechlessly: "Do you know? I was a wild boar for a few years, only to suddenly discover that my race is actually one of the top ten races in Jinque City."

Excluding the five major clans under Lady Qingmu, it was inevitable that the Pig Clan would rank in the top ten.

He heard the deeper meaning in those words: hostage.

He said: "Wait, you said 'hostage'? Do you mean your status in the Pig Clan is not low?"

Zhu Ze said: "That's natural. My father is the Clan Chief of the Pig Clan, but unfortunately, I have too many brothers, so my status isn't high."

"This Azure Wave Immortal Pool is the compensation he gave me; those brothers of mine wish I were dead."

Zhu Ze didn't dwell on this topic for too long. Zhu Ze said excitedly: "Where is my son? Where did you put it?"

Tang Tian looked hesitant. Naturally, his son was in the Medicine Venerable Space; he was carrying it with him.

But he couldn't let it out now.

He didn't have a Cultivation Technique that could erase people's memories. After letting Iron Earth out, he would have to remove all its memories of the Medicine Venerable Space.

Otherwise, after returning Iron Earth to him, Tang Tian wouldn't be at ease and would have to kill them both.

Seeing Tang Tian looking hesitant, Zhu Ze's face turned sorrowful, and he said: "You didn't make it into roast suckling pig, did you?"

He was choked by Zhu Ze's train of thought and said directly: "No, it's being raised on Chi Daizi's mountain. When the time comes, you go to Chi Daizi's mountain, and I'll give it to you."

Hearing that his son wasn't dead, Zhu Ze turned from sorrow to joy, saying: "Better not. It's best if you raise it. I can't take my son back anymore; the Pig Clan has found me a new wife."

"I'm afraid she'll kill it after I bring it back."

After speaking, Zhu Ze took out his storage ring, pulled out 100,000 Spirit Stones from it, and said: "Take these 100,000 Spirit Stones."

To be honest, Tang Tian didn't want to accept Zhu Ze's Spirit Stones. After all, when Zhu Ze killed the Xiao Feng Qing Peng, he had already done him a favor.

He said: "There's no need. You killed the Xiao Feng Qing Peng, and that was a great boost for me."

The meat of the Xiao Feng Qing Peng was exchanged for the Formation given by Liu Ru Shi, and the Formation given by the Eldest Senior Brother, Chi Qingzi.

Zhu Ze said: "These 100,000 Spirit Stones are the fee for my son to acknowledge you as his foster father. From now on, you will be his second father."

Tang Tian looked surprised; acknowledging a pig as a foster son was quite strange.

He said: "Fine, since that's the case, I'll be his foster father. Does that mean he changes his name to Tang?"

Hearing this, Zhu Ze hesitated again and said: "Forget it, let him keep the surname Zhu. You take 50,000 Spirit Stones and take good care of him."

Tang Tian said: "What kind of talk is that? I will give him all 100,000 that you gave me."

To be honest, Iron Earth had been running around wildly in the Medicine Venerable Space, and he hadn't seen Iron Earth for a long time.

Mainly because the Medicine Venerable Space was too big now.

Zhu Ze said: "Fifth Senior Brother, there is one more thing."

He was stunned and said: "You'd better just call me Yu Tian."

Zhu Ze said: "Alright, Yu Tian. It's about the Cultivation Technique that controls Yao Beasts for one's own use..."

He said: "Rest assured, I won't use that on your son."

Besides Iron Earth, he hadn't used any Yao Beast control Cultivation Technique on Ye Dian or Ink Jade in the Medicine Venerable Space either.

Anyway, they wouldn't be leaving the Medicine Venerable Space.

Zhu Ze said: "No, you can use one on him. Only then can I take him back to the Pig Clan."

"In our clan, once a clansman has been contracted by someone, they cannot become the Clan Chief. This way, he will be safe."

"And since you are Chi Daizi's Disciple, the Pig Clan won't dare to do anything to you. This way, my son will be completely safe."

Zhu Ze was using 100,000 Spirit Stones to buy a title for his son. Looking at it this way, Zhu Ze was indeed quite clever.

Tang Tian glanced at Zhu Ze and found that Zhu Ze was indeed quite clever.

He said: "Fine."

He asked: "How did you know I was the Fifth Senior Brother? Could it be that you are also a Disciple of Chi Daizi?"

Zhu Ze said: "Yes, after I was saved by Chi Daizi, I became his ninth Disciple. I don't have a title; I am a Named Disciple."

"But after I go back, I'll just beat up the seventh and eighth Disciples, and I can get a title."

Crimson Guzi and Crimson Bozi were directly targeted by Zhu Ze, though their strength was indeed not high.

Tang Tian wanted to warn Zhu Ze not to do it; after all, it was easy to get targeted by the Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, and Fourth Senior Sister, who would take turns casting Divine Soul marks.

But seeing Zhu Ze's hopeful eyes, he realized that even if he said it, Zhu Ze wouldn't believe him.

Because to outsiders, Chi Daizi's four Disciples were all one entity.

Once one became one of the four Disciples, they entered Chi Daizi's core circle.

He said: "Do you Named Disciples have any taboos about going up and down the mountain every day?"

Zhu Ze said: "No taboos; I can go down the mountain whenever I want."

He asked: "Do you really want to be Chi Daizi's Disciple?"

Zhu Ze said: "That's for sure. That Crimson Guzi and Crimson Bozi only have the cultivation of the Lianqi Fifth Level; I can deal with them with a wave of my hand."

"If they can be official Disciples, I can also be an official Disciple."

Tang Tian sighed and said: "As you wish."

He put away those 100,000 Spirit Stones. Zhu Ze was happy and said: "Brother Yu, once I gain a firm foothold in the Pig Clan, I will invite you to come to my Pig Clan to visit."

"And your Dao Companion, Senior Sister Liu, will also be invited to come and visit together."

Tang Tian was taken aback after hearing this and said: "Shh! Be careful what you say. I am now a son-in-law of the Fox Clan."

Zhu Ze was stunned after hearing this, his bean-sized eyes narrowing together, and he said: "Is that the son-in-law of the Qing Huai Fox Clan?"
