"Wait, one last question..." Seeing the impatient look on Jiao Yazi's face, Wei Zhao screwed up his courage and asked.
"Speak." Jiao Yazi said flatly.
"Who exactly are you? And who is that grand-uncle master of yours?" Wei Zhao could not hold back his curiosity.
"I am Jiao Yazi, of course. I have already told you." Jiao Yazi said coolly. "My grand-uncle master was naturally an extremely formidable man, but you have no need to know, for it has nothing to do with you. And do not think that just because you got lucky and picked up the cultivation manual and the jade pendant he left behind in an idle moment back then, you have become his disciple. That is impossible."
"Uh..." Wei Zhao stared at the don't-even-dream-of-it look on Jiao Yazi's face and froze for a moment. Just now Jiao Yazi had only looked indifferent, but not like this. Had he offended him somehow?
After a moment's thought, however, Wei Zhao understood why Jiao Yazi was so displeased. Since the man who left the manual was his grand-uncle master, if he himself were to take that man as his master, he would naturally become Jiao Yazi's elder, and he was bound to be unhappy. Thinking of this, Wei Zhao smiled. "Of course not. Even if I take a master, it will be you, Elder Jiao."
"Hmm... at least you know what is good for you, boy." Only when he heard this did a trace of a smile squeeze onto Jiao Yazi's face. "Seeing how sincere you are, I will reluctantly observe you for a time."
"Heh." Wei Zhao smiled. He had no wish to expose Jiao Yazi's little vanity, so he said no more, sat cross-legged on the ground of the space, and entered a state of cultivation.
Since Jiao Yazi refused to breathe a word about his grand-uncle master, there was no need to press him further. What should be told, he would tell in time. What should not be told, it was useless to ask.
A vast energy suddenly surged into Wei Zhao's body from all directions, and the abrupt phenomenon gave him a violent start. Although in the mountain forests where true qi was densest, energy absorption was a little faster than in the city, it was never this fast. It was as if there were no resistance at all, endless and inexhaustible. In an instant Wei Zhao almost felt as if his body would burst, and he at once slowed his pace of cultivation.
"Whew..." Wei Zhao looked at Jiao Yazi not far off, wearing a teasing face, and felt helpless. The old fellow was definitely messing with him on purpose. Not a word of warning before cultivating. Did he want him dead?
Even though Wei Zhao slowed his cultivation, the energy around him still poured endlessly into his body, only a little more slowly. Before long, Wei Zhao felt the energy inside him swell to a saturated limit, yet the elemental energy around him kept pouring into him at the same pace.
Cold sweat broke out on Wei Zhao's forehead. What was happening? This had never happened before. Though fear gripped his heart, he still could not stop the energy from flooding into his body.
At this moment Wei Zhao felt his body was like a magnet, ceaselessly drawing in the energy surging in from all around...
"Jiao Yazi..." Feeling he was about to explode, Wei Zhao had no choice but to cry out to Jiao Yazi for help.
But Jiao Yazi only kept watching Wei Zhao with that teasing expression, showing not the slightest intention of lending a hand.
"Boom!"
Wei Zhao felt his body could no longer bear such vast energy, as if his whole being had burst apart, and the clothes on him instantly turned into charred fragments and flew off in all directions.
"Hoo..."
Just when Wei Zhao thought he was done for, he was stunned to find himself still alive, standing stark naked before Jiao Yazi, with an indescribable feeling of ease coursing through his body.
