Mo Xie smiled, he then thought of something; 'I've yet to take in disciples myself...'
He then looked at Yan Meng and compared the one that he took a liking a few months ago; 'He's the Sword Emperor, right? Although he's not bad, he's not that good either, but with the level of spiritual energy in this place, it's acceptable.'
He looked at Yan Meng from head to toe; 'This one is built for the Dao of Pills while that sword kid is focused solely on the Dao of Sword yet he's extremely gifted with claw weapons, but then, compared to the talents of true geniuses, they merely look like fodders.'
Still, these two are the epitome of talent within this place.
At this thought, Mo Xie made a decision; "How about becoming my disciple, that way, I can train you and give you a brighter future than the one you can only attain here."
Yan Meng hearing this became speechless as he looked at Mo Xie in utter disbelief, he who more than a hundred years old is being recruited to become a disciple of a child that has still milk on his lips, to him, it immediately became a joke in his mind.
"Hahaha, to think that I've become this pitiful in the eyes of a youth that I'm being recruited, this has far the greatest joke I've ever heard in my life." Yan Meng looked at Mo Xie, he thought that the latter is merely joking with him.
"Since you've made me laugh today, let's cut it here and I will give you your rewards." Yan Meng spoke in a solemn manner.
Mo Xie frowns: "You'll try to open it again?"
Yan Meng's expression changed, his previous humorous appearance darkens as he looked at Mo Xie: "That is none of your business, this is my item, and that alone is enough for me to keep it, do you have anything to say?"
Mo Xie smiled: "Just remember my words, opening it will lead not only to your ruins but all of the population in the human territory, to think that you've grown attached to its appearance."
"I am merely giving you a warning, the thing inside wouldn't be able to kill you in a year, because I will do so instead."
As Mo Xie's words sounded, his deep eyes looked like the abyss as Yan Meng's heartthrobs greatly, what followed next is Mo Xie a.s.saulting Yan Meng with his killing intent and murderous aura!
Yan Meng was shocked as he subconsciously took a few steps back before solidifying his steps: "Are you threatening me?"
Mo Xie smiled: "I am merely giving you a warning. If you dare unleash something like that..."
Mo Xie paused, just thinking of what might happen in the future if that prisoner were to really be released, he couldn't even think of any way to escape it, less, he could steal it and hide it away, either that or he could take this person as a disciple or just make him vow that he will never open it again.
But then, at this moment, it activated.
All of the surrounding's color gone, replaced by grey, black, and white.
Mo Xie couldn't help but smile, he looked at the Cursed Void Tablet and Yan Meng: "I can now steal the tablet... But then again, I can also make it so that he'll go under my tutelage!"
Mo Xie chuckles, he took the Tablet and held it on his palm, took a dagger out of his storage ring and pointed it at Yan Meng's neck.
"Now, deactivate!"
Mo Xie looks around, but then noticed that there aren't any changes, the monotonous color still lingered.
"..."
Mo Xie waited for five minutes until the surrounding started to return to normal; 'So the time limit is five minutes...'
Yan Meng was looking at where Mo Xie was at earlier but was shocked the next second that a dagger is already at his throat.
Mo Xie smiled as he placed the dagger back into his storage ring and spoke: "Even the strongest person within your Alchemy a.s.sociation would never be able to save you from death once I take action, and I will only say this once, the person within that prison tablet is much stronger than me... for now."
Hearing Mo Xie's words, Yan Meng couldn't help but have cold sweat appear on his back, he started to evaluate Mo Xie differently; 'Is he really a gold-ranked pract.i.tioner? I couldn't even see him move yet he could've killed me, an Immortal Ascension ranked expert quite easily!'
To make it more believable, Mo Xie then took out the Guest Elder token and showed it to Yan Meng: "See, I'm quite capable right?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
"An Elder Guest token?! Who gave that to you?"
Mo Xie smiled as he replied: "It was given to me by Bei Ming, well, just about a few minutes ago."
Yan Meng now has a gist of Mo Xie, yet, he couldn't really fathom this youth.
Mo Xie then spoke: "If you follow me, I can only promise you one thing... Your future will be above this place, more than ten folds."
Yan Meng hearing stayed silent for a while, Mo Xie only displayed some sort of technique and could definitely kill him, but what can a mere youth offer to the likes of him, everyone can boast words, but only few can actually keep it.
If he, Yan Meng accepts being Mo Xie's disciple, then, what will he gain, even worst, the latter can take everything he has to offer.
In the end, he smiled: "I am but an old man destined to die sooner or later, why not search for a more younger and talented child?"
Mo Xie chuckles as he replied: "Well, within this plain, I can definitely take a few of them and make it so that they will be as strong as you, stronger even, but then, that would take a long time. I think you are more suitable than them, at least, I don't really have to worry about feeding so much."
Yan Meng couldn't help but look at Mo Xie strangely, for some reason, this is one of the most unpersuasive persuasion he had ever heard.
"As for your old age, well, that wouldn't even matter for ten or so years."
Yan Meng hearing this couldn't help but frown; 'Does he have some sort of treasure that can increase a person's lifespan?'
For Yan Meng who had already used half of his lifespan, one of the most sought out treasure would be a life-prolonging treasure.
Mo Xie smiled, noticing that the fish took the bait, he added: "Well, if you kneel now and ask for me to be your master, it wouldn't be too hard to grand you a hundred-year lifespan."
Yan Meng's lips suddenly have a tint of saliva crossing the borders, he then wiped it off and spoke: "If that's really true, then..."
Still, looking at Mo Xie, he's not really sure whether to accept it or not, but then, Mo Xie's next sentence struck him like the lightning earlier.
"Playing it safe isn't bad, but life is a struggle that risks are always involved, isn't it?"
Yan Meng smiled, he remembered the times when he was young and pursued the peak: "Yes, I was exiled to this place, but then, I became satisfied with such a peaceful life."
Yan Meng looked at Mo Xie: "If you can really bring me to such heights as you said, then, I wouldn't even hesitate to be your shoe keeper, but if any of your words are false, then I will without a doubt leave you without a seconds hesitation."
Mo Xie nods his head: "Good choice."
He then smiled as he took out five pieces of paper and threw it towards Yan Meng: "Now, since I won't be saying here, you'll act as my replacement and do my business."
"This..." Yan Meng felt speechless, he then took out the five pieces of paper, his expression was full of bewildering thoughts, but then, as he read each pieces of the papers one by one, his eyes grew bigger as he felt shocked and awed: "Th-this..."
Mo Xie smiled: "That will be my gift to you as your master."
