Chapter 703: Establishing a Dojo
Originally, Jing Yan had to lie to Hu Donghe in Pill Spirit City, as Jing Yan didn’t fully understand Hu Donghe’s character at that time.
Claiming to have a master was like adding a layer of protection for himself.
Now, Jing Yan no longer needed to hide anything from Hu Donghe, but explaining this nonexistent master was troublesome.
Telling Hu Donghe that his master had left this world wasn’t a lie since Jing Yan had accepted the legacy of the master of the Death Temple and could be considered, at least, a half-disciple of the Death Temple’s master.
"Left this world?" Hu Donghe stared at Jing Yan, somewhat astonished.
"Brother, not to hide from you, my master is likely from the Divine Race, and possesses unparalleled strength..." Jing Yan added with a bitter smile.
"I see, no wonder he managed to train such an exceptional disciple. Let’s not dwell on this matter anymore," Hu Donghe inhaled sharply, not lingering on the issue of Jing Yan’s master, and changed the subject, "Jing Yan, your Alchemy Dao skills are surely unmatched throughout the Heavenly Origin Continent. So I think, why not establish a Daoist academy, an Alchemy Dao academy? After its establishment, hold an Alchemy Conference every few years to attract the continent’s finest Pill Masters to discuss Alchemy Dao, and listen to your explanations on Alchemy Dao."
"This way, you can build your reputation first, letting the entire continent know about you, Jing Yan."
"Then, you could spread the news that, during the Alchemy Conference, you might conditionally help some Loose Cultivators in the Daoist Emperor Realm to refine various Ninth-level Elixirs," Hu Donghe cunningly said.
Hearing this, Jing Yan’s eyes lit up.
