The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1760: 1857: Cheng Jinhai's DiscipleChapter 1760: Chapter 1857: Cheng Jinhai’s Disciple
Dugu Nian did not react, and Fang Lin smiled and said, “Since it is the disciple newly taken by you, Cheng, then bring them over to take a look.”
Cheng Jinhai was actually a bit uneasy in his heart. After all, making such a request to bring a disciple over for a visit seemed somewhat presumptuous and abrupt.
But Cheng Jinhai had his own ideas. After all, he was quite fond of his two new disciples, and since his sons were all good-for-nothings, there was a ten to eight chance that the vast Heng Long Mountain would be handed over to these two disciples in the future.
For this reason, Cheng Jinhai was already thinking of paving the way for these two disciples by letting them visit Fang Lin and the Hall Master of Sky Swallowing Palace, so that his two disciples could at least establish a slight connection with Sky Swallowing Palace.
However, if Fang Lin and the Hall Master of Sky Swallowing Palace were unwilling, Cheng Jinhai would not raise the matter again.
Unexpectedly, Fang Lin agreed, which made Cheng Jinhai overjoyed. He quickly apologized and turned back to bring the two disciples over.
After Cheng Jinhai temporarily left, Dugu Nian looked at Fang Lin and asked, “Is there anything noteworthy about this Cheng Jinhai?”
Fang Lin shook his head. “Not really, but Sky Swallowing Palace does need some forces like Heng Long Mountain. There are some trivial matters that don’t require our people at Sky Swallowing Palace to handle personally.”
Dugu Nian smiled at these words, “That is true, it seems you’ve thought it through quite thoroughly. This Cheng Jinhai clearly appears to be a very shrewd person, and he’s rather thick-skinned. With his capability, he can indeed handle some minor matters for us.”
It didn’t take long for Cheng Jinhai to bring the two disciples over.
He dared not let Fang Lin and Dugu Nian wait long, so he and the two disciples practically sprinted the entire way, almost flying through the air.
However, because they were on the territory of Sealing Sword Pavilion, flying rashly would attract a lot of attention, so without special circumstances, no one would choose to fly through the air.
The excitement on Cheng Jinhai’s face had yet to dissipate, and his two disciples stood behind him, bowing in greeting to Fang Lin and Dugu Nian.
“Hall Master, Master Fang, these are my two unworthy disciples,” Cheng Jinhai said.
After a pause, Cheng Jinhai pointed to the handsome young man on his right and said, “This lad is Duanmu Feng, he practices swordsmanship quite well.”
The very attractive Duanmu Feng stepped forward and cupped his fists towards Fang Lin and Dugu Nian, saying, “Disciple Duanmu Feng from Heng Long Mountain, I have met the Hall Master and Master Fang.”
Dugu Nian did not react, but Fang Lin smiled and nodded, quickly seeing Duanmu Feng clearly in a split second, secretly praising him in his heart. Indeed, he was an excellent Sword Tao talent, exuding a dignified Sword Qi, giving the impression of a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, a sharpness revealed but also aware of the way of hidden sword.
Moreover, Duanmu Feng’s appearance was indeed good, easily leaving a favorable impression at first glance.
In contrast, Cheng Jinhai’s other disciple did not have such a good presentation.
“This is my second disciple, Wang Tieniu,” Cheng Jinhai introduced.
The ordinary-looking, slightly clumsy Wang Tieniu somewhat nervously saluted Fang Lin and Dugu Nian.
“Not bad, has a decent Root Bone, suitable for Body Refinement,” Fang Lin said.
Wang Tieniu clearly hadn’t experienced any major occasions, nor had he seen great figures like Fang Lin and the Hall Master of Sky Swallowing Palace, standing there at a loss.
Cheng Jinhai quickly said, “Master Fang flatters, although my disciple’s Root Bone is still passable, he’s just too dimwitted. Thankfully, he didn’t embarrass himself in front of the Hall Master and Master Fang.”
Wang Tieniu silently retreated behind Cheng Jinhai, while Duanmu Feng glanced at Wang Tieniu intentionally or unintentionally, a deeply hidden sliver of contempt passing through his eyes.
“Since they’re your disciples, Cheng, I naturally won’t be stingy,” Fang Lin said with a smile, giving Wang Tieniu and Duanmu Feng each a Pill.
“Thank you, Master Fang, for the gift,” Duanmu Feng graciously accepted the Pill and expressed his gratitude.
Wang Tieniu followed Duanmu Feng’s words, but it didn’t sound as natural.
Cheng Jinhai was secretly delighted, don’t underestimate the gift of merely one Pill from Fang Lin; being able to receive a Pill from Fang Lin’s hands meant that his two disciples could at least catch Fang Lin’s eye. As long as they have more contact with Sky Swallowing Palace in the future, he thought, by the time his two disciples take over Heng Long Mountain, they should have a good relationship with Sky Swallowing Palace.
“Could it be that Duanmu Feng will also participate in the Sword Head competition?” Fang Lin suddenly asked.
Cheng Jinhai nodded and said, “Honestly speaking, Master Fang and Hall Master, my disciple really wants to see the means of all the swordsmen in the world, so I didn’t stop him. Young people, it’s good to suffer some setbacks.”
Although Cheng Jinhai’s words seemed not very optimistic about Duanmu Feng, his tone carried much pride. After all, the Sword Head competition is a grand event participated in by all the world’s swordsmen, and for his disciple to participate, he as a master certainly shares the honor.
However, Cheng Jinhai did not have much expectation for Duanmu Feng to achieve any remarkable results. Although his disciple had great talent in Sword Tao, due to his young age and having practiced swordsmanship for too short a time, it was mostly to gain experience, not necessarily to achieve any good results.
Cheng Jinhai, being a sensible person, did not linger any longer and left with his two disciples.
····
A loud boom broke the peace among the many mountain peaks.
Many people from various forces walked out from their places, wanting to see what had happened.
Fang Lin also came out with several people from Sky Swallowing Palace, all looking up towards the sky.
They saw two figures fighting fiercely in the sky, the loud noises were precisely from these two people.
“Turns out it’s these two guys, they have always held grudges against each other.”
“They must be out of their minds to start a fight here.”
“Enemies have particularly sharp eyes when they meet.”
“Sealing Sword Pavilion should step in to stop them.”
····
Just as the two were about to fight to the death, a sudden sword light sliced through the sky; the two couldn’t dodge in time and could only let out two screams as they were cut from head to toe.
Both of them died this way, it was merely a moment, not even allowing them to feel much pain.
“During the Sword Head competition, private fights will not be forgiven by Sealing Sword Pavilion!” A dignified voice echoed across the peaks, serving as a demonstration as well as a warning to all forces coming to participate in the Sword Head competition.
With the lesson learned from these two, the next two days were particularly calm, and finally, on the third day, the Sword Head competition officially opened.
