The Vibrating Pattern inscribed on the stone sword was perfect and Zhang Yan nodded with satisfactory. Before he was about to speak up, Meng Hongwen rushed to him, grabbed the sword and carefully observed.

He admired, "It's perfect. I didn't expect you to be able to depict such a perfect Vibration Pattern, and that you can reach the legendary state of integrating with the nature, which was an indication that you are a rare genius in the field of spirit tattoo. I've never seen a warrior with such talent like you. The five-star apprentice badge is too low for you and you deserve to be the five-star spirit tattooing artist."

"This is also the highest grade I can give you. After all, as a five-star artist, I don't have the right to issue a higher-grade badge."

Zhang Yan shook his head, "You can give me a five-star apprentice badge. I don't want others to know my real level and find me troubles. I have to work hard to cultivate!"

Meng Hong nodded, "Since you have decided, then I am not saying anything more, but don't you feel wronged?"

"No, give me a five-star apprentice badge please."

He took out a purple metal badge and handed it to Zhang Yan, "This is the badge representing spirit tattooists. Here you are."

Zhang Yan took the badge. It was purple round with five stars printed on one side and Zhang Yan's name on the opposite.

He finished putting the badge away and turned to Meng Hongwen, who was still touching his stone sword, "Uh, Grandpa Meng, can you return the stone sword to me? it is mine! I feel weird when you touch it."

"I just want to sense the Vibration Pattern! You are too stingy!" Meng Hongwen casted it to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan retorted, "I am stingy? I allow you to watch the entire process of me depicting the Vibration Pattern and what you are short of was its aoyi only! The stingy one is you! I taught you such a high-level spiritual pattern and only rewarded such few benefit! Don't you feel blushing?"

His words made Meng Hongwen a little bit guilty, so Meng Hongwen responded with a smile, "Well, you're going to ask for a little more materials, aren't you? How about I promising you that you can use the materials here for free?"

"Really?" Zhang Yan asked excitedly.

Meng Hongwen nodded, "Of course it is, but you can't be undue and run out of all my materials in the Spirit Tattooists Unit."

"Sure I won't. How can I run out of so many materials?"

"I have one more condition." Meng Hongwen uttered after thinking for a while.

Zhang Yan rolled his eyes, "I know that! You said I am sly, but you are the really cunning one, old fox!"

The two men's squabble kittled Miao Yao. She had never seen her grandpa so happy in the past.

"What's your condition?" Zhang Yan asked.

Meng Hongwen smiled and answered, "It's not difficult. I just want you to guide Meng Yao. After all, I am already old. Since you are so talented on spirit tattooing, please be her instructor."

"Only this?"

"What? You seemed reluctant?" asked Meng Hongwen.

Zhang Yan was indeed so, "I have to spend time cultivating. Guiding she will delay my practice, won't it?"

Meng Yao stamped on her foot angrily. She had been chased after by a lot of people, but Zhang Yan dared to refuse to be her guider now. She pouted and asked, "Are you abandoning me for hindering you from cultivating?"

Zhang Yan immediately smiled, "Of course not. I feel happy that a beauty like you wants my guide. But I really don't have time."

"You know that the aoyi of spiritual patterns is not so simple to comprehend. I came the Fengdu City for something important and can't stay here forever in the future." Zhang Yan spread his hands helplessly.

Meng Yao turned her eyes, followed by a smile, "We don't let you stay here forever. You can do your business and I can accompany you. In this way, I will not delay you and can feel free to ask you if any question. How about it?"

"You mean you are going to be my maid?" Zhang Yan asked unbelievingly.

"Maid? Don't dream! I am just learning from you. Don't make impolite requests, or you will be beaten! " Meng Yao got red and, holding a punch, threatened.

Zhang Yan asked with doubts, "Are you sure you can defeat me? I'm very strong."

Meng Yao smiled and did not replied. Zhang Yan was younger with shorter cultivating time, so her cultivation was much higher. In her opinion, Zhang Yan said that for saving face.

Therefore, Zhang Yan quickly inscribed a Vibrating Pattern on paper with the remaining spirit tattooing liquid and threw it to Meng Yao, "Don't say that I'm bad to you. Learn this pattern on your own first."
