Bab 52: Phoenix Tower!
"Thank you grandma!" He didn't forget to offer his thanks as he took the saber. It was barely a meter tall. Holding the saber however didn't seem much of a strain, and he turned to look at the old man sitting beside his grandmother.
His eyes clearly where asking, 'What about you?'
It was at this moment that Wang Chengshan wanted to throw a slap.He thought, 'You ungrateful piece of shit!'
But he still honestly compiled, as the woman beside him was already looking over. He could only produce a strange looking coin. It seemed old, but he had a reactant look at he held onto it.
But Wang Lu didn't feel reactant about taking it at all. He thanked the old man too, only then did his expression become slightly better.
"Yue Li will take you back! Make sure to not lose face for this old man. If you perform well you might get a chance at being noticed by the Phoenix Tower! That would be a good thing for you. All the practioners regardless of which clan or sect, prefer to get noticed by them. The reason is very simple, all the good things you can imagine are in their hands." Mei Lin didn't forget to mention the issue of Phoenix Tower more than once.
"What do you know about the Phoenix Tower?" Mei Lin asked.
But Wang Lu didn't plan on showing off or anything, after all he didn't really know much about the Phoenix Tower. He however had read something about them.
Being asked this at this moment made him somewhat unaware of how to respond.
"I just read about it from the library in passing. It stated that the Phoenix Tower was located on every continent and very informed about almost everything under the heavens." He said this without even thinning much.
"You are just half correct! When it comes to knowing everything, I think it is somewhat untrue. The Phoenix Tower indeed is well informed and this information doesn't fall from the sky." Noticing that smile on her face he was somewhat shocked.
"You mean the information is provided by others?" He asked with some slight shock on his face.
As for the reason for this shock, obviously was the strict nature of the clans and factions in this world. Perhaps the journey of Wang Lu's practice of martial arts might make anyone think that the Wang clan was very lenient.
But that was far from the truth.
He was currently twelve years old, and when he reached this Wang clan he was still about three years old.
But it was a only after reaching six years did he even start having any access to the Wang clan resources. The same was true for the others too, and that was not all. The clan rules were something he had already learned, even though they weren't as exergerated as he had seen in some fictional works, they were strict. The aspect of diverging clan information was also something that would end up costing one more if not their life.
He found it hard to believe that someone would actually dare to sell information at will, and she seemed to have seen through him before saying, "Not all information is prohibited from sell. The Phoenix Tower also doesn't sell all the information they buy or put it on sale. This is even more so, when they are more concerned about matters of geniuses and so forth."
"You mean that information about geniuses is what they like to buy! Doesn't this mean that even the leader of a clan could go ahead and sell this information." He was astonished by this.
"That indeed might be the case, but it is also unlikely. Most of the time the clan leaders are too busy to be selling information on their clan descendants. But that is not case for the outer disciples of the Phoenix Tower." She added more information.
"What you mean is that people from the same clan might be selling others out for some benefits? They even have the status of outer disciples?" He was more interested the more he listened.
Seeing her nodding, he was even more apprehensive.
"Grandma! You sure have some technique for restraining my breath and hiding cultivation right? I don't want to one day be crushed by others without even knowing how it happened!" When Wang Lu said this, he failed to see Mei Lin wink at her husband.
But the wink seemed to make him reveal a helpless smile.
He couldn't help but say, "Grandson! That coin! Cough! Cough! It is a good treasure. It's main use is to hide your presence. As long as you don't unleash any power beyond a certain level, it would be hard for others to even know your real cultivation!"
Listening to the old man, he couldn't help but have a grin on his face.
"Thank you grandpa!"
"Hmm! But that is not enough! You should also take this book. It has some methods for disguise, as for the technique present in the book, it can't be practiced by you yet. Once you reach the master level, perhaps it is useful to practice it and you will be shocked by its effectiveness when hiding your cultivation." He took the book with a happy expression.
He didn't expect this old guys to help him so much. He was happy and even as he walked towards the carriage with Yue Li, he couldn't stop smiling.
He was then pleased to find some carrot packages in the carriage. He picked out one and bit through, finding it sweeter than the ones he had been munching over all this while.
He then opened the window to the carriage waving bye bye to his grandparents.
As the old couple watched Wang Lu depart, Wang Chengshan made a comment that shocked his wife slightly. " I want to go into retreat! I can feel that my saint body is showing signs of forming!"
She had been complaining about his cultivation but now it seemed that he could see the door to the next realm.
"You are finally seeing the hope to enter the Saint realm! Without your accumulation it shouldn't be problem for you to reach the peak of Profound stage right?" Mei Lin asked.
She was clearly also someone at the final stage of Saint Realm, the Heaven stage. At this stage her domain had already reached perfection and she had started to get in touch with the laws between heaven and earth.
Her discussion with Wang Lu was clearly not just to warn him to be careful of others, but also tell him keep some cards hidden when out adventuring. If his own clan members could sell him out, let alone strangers.
What she didn't expect was that her husband was actually going to have a breakthrough. It was good news.
