Chapter 997 Rewards
The moment when An Miaoyi saw Wang Xiaoqiang appearing safely above Yueyang Academy, An Miaoyi felt a sudden shock. She immediately realized that the assassination failed. Moreover, there was no news about the killer group sent by her father so far. Most of them had been counterattacked by Wang Xiaoqiang. She felt depressed. Her eyes looked at Wang Xiaoqiang with deep and dark desolate look.
When An Miaoyi was sad, Wang Xiaoqiang followed the old master to the Taiqu Palace with the envious eyes of the students.
When he arrived at the Taiqu Palace, the old master asked a follower to test the grades of each student, and then gave a certain reward based on each person's grades.
The number and level of the ghost cultivator's head are the criteria for grades. When the ten students' grades came out, the old master tested the rewards one by one based on the grades of each student. Of course, this reward was not transparent, but secretly given. In the end, the top nine students received the rewards they deserved. After leaving one after another, only Wang Xiaoqiang, the student with the best grades, stayed at the end.
After all the nine students left, only Lao Fuzi and Wang Xiaoqiang were left in the Taiqu Palace.
The old master did not directly take out the reward, but asked Wang Xiaoqiang a question and said, "Xiaoqiang, the strength of the ghost spirit has exceeded the level of the Ghost King. Logically speaking, you are not his opponent, so how can you defeat him?"
Seeing that the old master asked this question again, Wang Xiaoqiang was also very angry, but when the old master asked, he couldn't help but answer. He had to say half true and half falsely:
"Master, in fact, what Senior Brother Fang said is not detailed, because we acted separately. Before fighting with the ghost spirit, I killed a guy full of blood. This guy was called a vampire. He was full of blood and violent aura, which was very terrible. When I was fighting with him, the guy bit me, and I bit him back, and his blood flowed into my body..."
As soon as Wang Xiaoqiang said this, the old master's eyes flashed and said, "Uh, I understand, the vampire... alien blood..."
Wang Xiaoqiang continued, "After the bloody fluid inside my body, I felt like I had taken guili pills. All the power in my body suddenly burst out..."
"Well, I understand." The old master nodded and said, "You have absorbed some alien blood and energy, and your body has been catalyzed and its strength has doubled. Well, this is God's protection. If it weren't for that alien blood and energy, I'm afraid that your group would be in danger!"
Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and thought to himself. This old master is indeed very knowledgeable and knows the alien blood. When he sees the perfunctory passing, he secretly breathes a sigh of relief.
However, just as Wang Xiaoqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the old master had another question, "But Xiaoqiang, the peerless evil ghost on the ghost spirit is powerful. To be honest, even if he is a master, he may not be able to subdue him, and you can easily defeat him. How many alien blood and energy have you absorbed?"
Seeing that the old master had questions, Wang Xiaoqiang thought for a moment and said, "It's not too much, but when the blood of the vampire entered my body, it was like a ball of fire, igniting the blood in my body. At that time, I felt burning and boiling..."
"The vampire...burn...well...it's a lot of knowledge here..."
The old master, who was well-educated, pondered his beard and could see that he was very interested in it and had the urge to study it.
After lowering his head and pondering for a while, the old master raised his head and said, "Uh, by the way, Xiaoqiang, your grades are the most outstanding in this experience. What reward do you want?"
Wang Xiaoqiang said without hesitation, "Master, I want to become an astrologer like you. I want to ask you to teach me the art of divination, just treat it as a reward for me."
The old master was stunned when he heard this, and his face looked unexpected, saying, "Why do you want to learn this?"
"Isn't it good to be able to pinch?"
"Yes, it's good to be able to calculate, but it's good," said the old master with a bitter face. "A teacher cannot be considered a qualified astrologer. My astrological level is too poor. To be honest, I have to divine it every night when you act this time. As a result, I only calculated the date of your return journey, and nothing else is accurate... Alas, I'm ashamed!"
"Master, you are so humble, don't you want to teach me?"
"Hey, what's the point? It's a good thing for you to study and be motivated. There is no reason why you don't teach me. But Xiaoqiang, my astrological level is really too poor, and it's a bit inappropriate to teach you," the old master said ashamedly: "If you really want to learn, I beg my senior brother to let him teach you..."
"Your senior brother?...he knows how to tell fortunes?"
"Of course, he is a famous astrologer."
"That's great, thank you Master." Wang Xiaoqiang said curiously, "Uh, by the way, your senior brother, what level has he reached? How accurate can he be..."
The old master said: "Everything has its own truth. The rules seem to be unchanged, but in fact they are not. You should know that everything has its own rules and are full of variables. For example, when you experience this time, encountering ghosts is your disaster. According to common sense, all ten of you should have sacrificed, and none of them can be returned. But you, Wang Xiaoqiang, absorbed the blood of the vampire, doubled their strength, and defeated the vampire with one force. This is the so-called variable...
Therefore, no matter how good astrologer is, he cannot say that he is 100% accurate in calculations, otherwise the astrologer would have already grasped the power of the world."
"Uh..." Wang Xiaoqiang said in a daze, a little disappointed.
"My senior brother is introverted and never accepts disciples. I don't know whether he is willing to teach you astrology, so this cannot be considered a reward. If you want any reward, just say it." The old master waved his hand.
Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't think of what he wanted for a moment, so he said, "Master, what good things do you have? Take them out and show me..."
The old master thought for a while and said, "By the way, I'll show you something, I think you will be interested..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang was curious and expectant, and nodded.
The old master flipped his right hand and a round bead appeared in his hand. The bead was crystal clear, gentle as jade, and bright, and it looked very beautiful. What's strange is that there was actually a blood-colored little man in the bead. The little man had a blue face and was as hideous as a ghost, and he was clearly the soul of a ghost cultivator.
Moreover, it is very likely that it is a blood ghost.
Just when Wang Xiaoqiang made such a guess, the old master said, "This is the soul of a vampire. It was obtained when I went to the Ghost Realm to kill the ghost cultivator when I was young. The vampire is an anomaly among the ghost cultivators. It is a mutated blood species. It has an unparalleled blood, and its blood qi generates power and is powerful...
I am very interested in the vampire and want to use it for research, but I have never found any results... I am still sealed by me in this Taoist bead..."
