Chapter 257 [Nine Pillars]
When Ouranos reached the end of the lake he saw Ezequiel standing at the edge of the boat his hair flowed down with the wind his eyes were staring off at the see as he narrowed his eyes slightly he looked straight at Ouranos who let out a sigh and he grabbed on his teacher hand.
Ezequiel eyes widen for a moment.
Three heavenly jewel rings.
Not just that his mount is also involved but what level? He looked at the cute dog that looked like it was stage 1 but it was actually stage 6.
"Teacher my bloodline leveled up again."
"I see you also made a breakthrough?"
"Um yes I made a breakthrough but in my honest answer I owe him five Spirit Mental Heart refinement."
Once they arrived at the shore of Melen Sea God’s Lake, a boat floated over to receive them. It was Ouranos's second time coming to this lake, yet the sight of moonlight reflecting off of the limpid lake water and the refreshing breeze set his heart at ease. The scene brought him joy, and the loneliness, stress, and depression from his last few years of cultivation were wiped away in an instant. His heart felt unburdened here.
Sensing the change in his student, Ezequiel turned to see Ouranos, eyes closed and breathing the air in deeply. Instead of disturbing his student, he simply waited.
"Teacher I heard that it's hard to get into Heaven Core Pillar Court is it true?"
"Yes it's hard to get into this court do you think the students who are in this flouting island slack off each and everyone of them are extremely powerful. But you must remember each court each student is powerful in there own right and you must go through recruitment if you want to enter any of them. Heaven Core Pillar Court is known for having frightening and most fearsome students. They are also people in that court who in the order they called Nine Pillars from number one the weakest and number one the strongest these people are known to be the strongest if you want to have a seat on a pillar you must defeat that pillar."
"Wow I can't believe that's an awesome nine pillars huh? Teacher why are we going there?"
"Don't you remember you are supposed to see your grand teacher once a week. What was the cost for your breakthrough?"
“I owe him five spirit refinings. Once I’m able to spirit refine, the first five successful products will be his as payment.”
“That’s definitely worth it."
"Yeah he wanted me to do ten for him I straight up refuse him humph I am not about to do that kind of deal so he lowered it."
"Elder Derek’s resonance spirit is the Blazing Fire Dragon, so his control over fire is extremely precise. With his current cultivation level, he can purify meridians with his flame, and it’ll be like having your muscles and bones completely cleansed. However, doing this is very exhausting for him and consumes the source energy of his martial soul. He rarely offers to do this for anyone. Do you have any idea what it costs to get him to do this for someone?”
"Is there a price on it?"
"Ten million points."
Ouranos coughed out and held on Xiao closer to his chest.
His not that rich!
“Don’t let the price scare you. Elder Derek set it so high because he didn’t want to help just anyone refine their meridians. The fact that he offered to do it for you shows just how much he values you.”
“I understand,” Ouranos said.
Ouranos couldn't but frown for a moment he couldn't believe how much that crazy old madman would do such a thing. He didn't just have the amount of spirit refinement that he needs to make. However, as Ouranos spent more time with him, Elder Derek agreed to cover his meals, lowered the price from ten spirits refining to five, and had now refined his meridians. Each time, Ouranos warmed up to the crazy old man even more. Some things didn’t need to be said aloud, and in Ouranos’s heart, he had already fully accepted Elder Derek as his fourth teacher.
He was the type to treat every one of his teacher’s like a lord for the rest of his life.
As they approached the island, the boat slowed down and came to a stop just short of the shore.
