Chapter 17 - What is Immortality?
The other seven peak elders nodded in agreement. They all knew how capable Li Nanting was, and given Li Guanqi’s talent, it was only natural for him to take the boy in—despite having gone so long without accepting a disciple.
No one wanted to live in vain; they all wished to pass on their knowledge to the next generation.
The crowd dispersed.
Li Nanting led Li Guanqi back to his courtyard, where they performed a simple initiation ritual: a kowtow and a tea ceremony. With that, it was done.
Li Nanting said gently, “Guanqi, fate has let us become master and disciple. I don’t have much to give, but I shall give you this pill.”
Whoosh!
A flash of light flickered from the ring on his left hand, and a jade box appeared in his palm.
Li Guanqi accepted it with care. When he opened it, he saw a round, shiny pill. It was even flickering with a soft glow.
“Master, this is...”
Li Nanting smiled. “It’s a top-tier Foundation Building Pill.”
Li Guanqi froze. He closed the box gently and pushed it back to Li Nanting. “No, no. Master, this is too valuable. You should keep it.”
