Chapter 27: Centralized Learning
Wei Yuan turned around and saw a brawny cultivator standing not far away from him. He was nine chi tall; two heads taller than your average person. He had a thick, short beard and a stately countenance.
The man was leading a boy and walking down the immortal boat. When their eyes met, Wei Yuan immediately jolted as if he was struck by thunder. The intangible substance within his body was stirring restlessly as well.
Surprise flickered in the cultivator’s eyes before the unusual glint winked out. He then said, “Your question is one that hasn’t been solved for ages, and only a handful of people are capable of answering it. However, they are unwilling to answer it for various reasons. Assuming that you haven’t come up with this question on a whim, then keep it in mind and find your own answer on your cultivation journey!
“Anyway, this is my grandson, Xiao Yu. If you don’t mind, I hope you’ll support each other in your path to immortality. Who knows, it might allow you to go further along your journey.”
The cultivator grabbed the boy by the scruff and placed him right in front of Wei Yuan. They instinctively turned their heads and avoided each other’s gazes.
The boy possessed an extraordinary countenance. He was none other than the one who had landed several hundred useless strikes on his body before being cleaved in half in the end. Wei Yuan couldn’t help but feel a little nervous coming face to face with the victim he had killed in a very embarrassing fashion.
The brawny cultivator smacked Xiao Yu on the back of his head and chided him, “What are you waiting for? Address your Senior Brother already!”
The boy stubbornly glared at the ground beside him while replying, “He might not be older than me!”
The cultivator gave him another smack. “So what? You can’t beat him, can you? Of course you should address him as Senior Brother!”
