Chapter 8 - 7 ’Leaving Fire Skill
A few days later at night, Mr. Xu led a young man in his twenties into the Everlasting Observance.
The young man was named Jiang Yan whose grandfather was a ninth-grade martial artist and owned a martial arts school. Unfortunately, his grandfather died prematurely, and because there was no ninth-grade martial artist to rely on, the family gradually got annexed by the Zhang family.
Now, although Jiang Yan has some talent, he has been targeted by the Zhang family and has struggled with his livelihood, even unable to obtain some medicinal materials for cultivation. Thus, he had no other choice but to seek an ally.
It was from this point that Mr. Xu had made contact with him.
Seeing Pei Xuanjing, the youngest and most talented master in the city, Jiang Yan was full of earnest as he clenched his fist, "I am at the end of my rope and will forever be grateful to Master Guan for his assistance. I'll repay your kindness in the future."
Pei Xuanjing slightly shook his head, "It is merely a give and take."
He wasn't interested in establishing a deep connection with the other party. It was just a trade, each of the two parties taking what they needed.
Upon witnessing Pei Xuanjing's distant demeanor, Jiang Yan was not upset and took out the family heirloom "Leaving Fire Skill" and a notebook of insights from his arms.
The moment Pei Xuanjing received it, a prompt echoed in his mind.
"Discovered Taoyun item. Begin refining?"
He suppressed this voice for a moment and said to Jiang Yan, "You should first recuperate your body in the coming days, and I will study your cultivation techniques so as to best assist you."
Jiang Yan nodded while Mr. Xu escorted him to a guest room in the Everlasting Observance. Pei Xuanjing then picked up the skill book and the notebook to study them.
