Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1891 (Raw 1992): No Time to Lose

To show his sincerity, the Third Palace Master did not fly over directly, avoiding a display of arrogance due to his position.

The Third Palace Master walked over step by step.

Actually, the Third Palace Master had some anger in his heart as well. He was angered by the Second Palace Master. To think that the Second Palace Master said that he would not succeed.

Several Dragon Race outstanding talents, including those Divine Dragon bloodline geniuses, wanted to take the Third Palace Master as their master.

If the Third Palace Master could not move a mixed-blood dragon cultivator by personally making a move, it would be inexcusable.

Suddenly, the Third Palace Master frowned slightly. He looked up and discovered a gigantic bird flying over to him.

“Demon Blood Vulture!”

The Third Palace Master smiled slightly. Then, he murmured, “This Xiao Chen is rather understanding of etiquette, sending his demonic pet to receive me. It looks like things are going well.

“Come down.”

The Third Palace Master suddenly waved, and an irresistible force pulled the Demon Blood Vulture down.

Damn! What’s going on? Why can’t this great me move? What is this old man? Stop stepping on me! Ah!

While flying towards Cold Moon Cave, the Demon Blood Vulture let out miserable cries as the Third Palace Master stood on it with a smile.

Xiao Chen, who was looking around, heard the miserable cries of the Demon Blood Vulture and showed a baffled expression.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

His figure flashed, quickly arriving at the courtyard’s gates.

When he saw the Demon Blood Vulture land while carrying the Third Palace Master, his expression did not change. However, his heart was stunned.

How is this a random old man? This is clearly a senior that is even more incredible than Elder Tian Yun. His cultivation already reached the point of reverting to the natural state. I cannot see his bottom line at all.

“Xiao Chen did not know about Senior’s arrival and did not personally go out to receive you. I’m truly sorry about that!”

When facing such a person who could easily crush him with a finger, Xiao Chen needed to maintain the basic etiquette.

“Haha! Even though I did not expose my identity, you still sent your demonic pet to receive me. That is already very thoughtful. You can dispense with the formalities.”

The Third Palace Master dismounted with a smile. Then, he walked over to Xiao Chen and sized him up, nodding to himself in his heart.

Dressed in white robes, looking clean and spotless. Even when facing a strong expert, he does not tremble in fear and trepidation, neither does he forget the basic etiquette.

Not bad. Not bad.

Most importantly, now that the Third Palace Master was so close to Xiao Chen, he found that Xiao Chen’s strength of character was as he had imagined.

Xiao Chen did have a poise and boldness that did not belong to a Star Venerate.

The Demon Blood Vulture had been scared silly. It waddled around on the ground in a fluster, doing its best to flap its wings. However, it failed to fly.

It even fell over several times, looking comical and rather pathetic.

The Third Palace Master frowned and said, “Demon Blood Vulture, you’re a mutated Demonic Beast. You have the bloodline of an ancient beast. Why are you only...you are somewhat different.”

In the end, the Third Palace Master did not say it directly. This bird was somewhat stupid. After thinking for a while, he used the words “somewhat different.”

Xiao Chen felt embarrassed and could not answer that. He could only change the subject, saying, “Senior, how do I address you? Do you have any instructions for me, since you came to Cold Moon Cave?”

When the Third Palace Master heard that, he cut to the chase, stating directly, “This old man is the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s Third Palace Master. I am in charge of alchemy and formations. In these two areas, this old man is widely acknowledged throughout the Divine Dragon Empire.”

The old man spoke with hidden pride and cockiness.

Xiao Chen felt slightly startled. To think that it was the Third Palace Master. This identity was scarily grand.

According to Tang Dan, the Heavenly Dragon Palace had three Palace Masters. Usually, these people remained behind the scenes. Many of the sect’s core disciples had not even seen any one of the three before; they were not qualified.

This was especially so for the Third Palace Master. Because he managed alchemy, his position was even higher.

What a cultivator lacked were resources. Medicinal Pills were one of the most important resources.

If one could establish a connection with this Third Palace Master, there would be numerous benefits.

“This old man normally does not take in disciples. However, I saw your performance at the dueling plaza today and want to take you as a nominal disciple.”

Such a great thing suddenly happened to Xiao Chen, rendering him somewhat stupefied.

Upon seeing Xiao Chen’s expression, the Third Palace Master secretly felt cocky. Since I personally made an appearance, is there anything that I can’t achieve?

However, who knew, when Xiao Chen snapped back to his senses, he looked like he was in a spot. He said, “Sorry, I do not intend to take a master at the moment. Although I am interested in the Alchemy Dao and Formation Dao, I am not as interested in them as I am in the Martial Dao.”

This reply stunned the Third Palace Master. “I say, little fellow, you seriously won’t reconsider? I’ve already planned it out. As long as you agree to be my disciple, I will use a Jade Water Spirit Lotus as a guide to refine a Blood Dragon Pill for you, to help you to raise your bloodline grade.

“That Tian Yun saw your low bloodline and knew that you would require great amounts of resources. Your future potential would not be comparable to that of someone with a True Dragon bloodline. However, with me, none of this is a problem.”

Xiao Chen said sincerely, “Many thanks for Senior valuing me. However, this junior really does not have any intention to take a master for now. One needs to live with pride. Since Elder Tian Yun chose Xiao Jinyu, I naturally will use my own actions to prove that his choice is wrong.

“If I receive help from the Third Palace Master, Elder Tian Yun will not be convinced. He will only consider it normal.”

Although Xiao Chen’s mental state cultivation was high, he was also a proud person.

At the dueling plaza earlier, Xiao Chen performed better than Xiao Jinyu in every way. However, Elder Tian Yun still ended up choosing the other party.

It would be a lie if Xiao Chen said that he was not angry at all.

However, Xiao Chen had another important reason for rejecting the Third Palace Master: this person was ridiculously strong.

Xiao Chen was not confident that he would be able to hide his Azure Dragon bloodline.

If the Third Palace Master saw anything off, explanations would be rather problematic. Even if the other party did not recognize the Azure Dragon bloodline, it would not be good if his dual cultivation of righteous and demonic were discovered.

The Third Palace Master was stunned for a while. He smiled helplessly and said, “Indeed. I have never won a wager before. Never mind, I will not force you. This is the Pill Dragon Token from the Heavenly Pill Pavilion. With this token, you will be able to receive some care there. Although we are not able to become master and disciple, knowing each other is a kind of fate. Goodbye.”

The Third Palace Master left as quickly as he came. After a faint smile, he vanished before Xiao Chen. He seemed carefree, not showing any disappointment or rage on his face.

However, he did appear somewhat helpless and sorrowful.

As Xiao Chen held the Pill Dragon Token, he sensed the Third Palace Master’s kind intentions and how much the Third Palace Master treasured him.

The disappointment in the Third Palace Master’s heart should not be as simple as how it was described.

This made Xiao Chen feel somewhat guilty. This Third Palace Master truly wanted to take him as a disciple.

Everything had its pros and cons. Xiao Chen revealed some of his strength in his earlier performance, which resulted in him obtaining a good residence. However, he also attracted the attention of the upper echelon, increasing his risk of exposure.

While Xiao Chen was in the Dragon’s Gate, he was treading on thin ice. Although he could go wild and be unruly, he still had to be cautious and careful.

He had to raise his own strength to fulfill his plans.

Xiao Chen held the Pill Dragon Token and murmured, “I wonder, what benefits can this token bring me? It looks like I will have to visit the Heavenly Pill Pavilion after going to the Martial Technique Pavilion.”

He casually waved his hand and got on the Demon Blood Vulture, which had not calmed down yet. Then, they flew to the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s Martial Technique Pavilion.

Xiao Chen had already thought of the first thing to do after entering the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion, which was checking out the Dragon Race Martial Techniques first.

As for what Martial Techniques to choose, he had put some thought to it long ago.

Right now, Xiao Chen only needed to follow the plan and take things step by step.

He sent a strand of Spiritual Sense into the core disciple identity token. Then, a map of the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s inner palace was imprinted in his mind.

This would keep him from getting lost in this vast sect.

Along the way, Xiao Chen passed through many restrictions. As he rode the Demon Blood Vulture, he attracted the attention of many disciples.

Only core disciples could ride Spirit Beasts or demonic pets within the sect. The other disciples did not have the right to do so.

After a while, Xiao Chen landed in front of an ancient, heavily guarded palace gate.

There were many checkpoints; the security was tight at every step.

Xiao Chen took out his identity token and smoothly entered the Martial Technique Pavilion.

“The Heavenly Dragon Palace’s Martial Technique Pavilion has a total of six floors. Outer palace disciples are limited to the first and second floors. Inner palace disciples may enter the third floor. Core disciples may enter the fourth floor. Heaven-class core disciples may enter the fifth floor. The sixth floor requires special permission to access. One may remain in the Martial Technique Pavilion for no more than four hours each time, and one may choose up to three secret manuals only.”

The administrator of the Martial Technique Palace was very polite with Xiao Chen, who held a core disciple identity token; he explained everything in detail.

Xiao Chen nodded and said casually, “Have someone bring me around to take a look.”

The Martial Technique Pavilion was overly huge. Since one could remain inside for only four hours, one would waste a lot of time if one was unfamiliar with the place. Xiao Chen did not want to waste any time.

Right now, he lacked time. He had to put every moment to good use.

How snobbish! The gray-clad administrator thought to himself. However, he did not dare to offend Xiao Chen. The more snobbish a core disciple was, the more likely he had strong backing.

The administrator was very respectful. With one look, it was clear that he did not have any backer. There was no need to care about him.

The gray-clad administrator called a person over and said, “Bring this senior brother around. Answer any question he has immediately.”

“Yes.”

That person was not very old and was fair-skinned, dressed entirely in long, blue robes. He smiled respectfully at Xiao Chen. “Senior Brother, this way, please. I’ll bring you to the fourth floor.”
