Chapter 136: The Wager With The All-knowing Grasp (2)

It wasnt martial arts that made the All-knowing Grasp well-known.

Whereas his martial arts have been at Peak prowess, they werent thought of extraordinary for his age or the respect he commanded in Jianghu.

His fame got here from his in depth data about every little thing.

The All-knowing Grasp knew no bounds in his thirst for data. His mental curiosity transcended odd limits, particularly delving deep into the mysteries of Qi Males Dun Jia and the data of the Left Path.

Thats how he got here to own the Three Ghosts Bronze Cauldron, a treasured Treasure, and annihilated an unorthodox sect.

The All-knowing Masters analysis wasnt confined to only the Central Plains.

His perception reached so far as the distant Western Areas, the place he encountered an vital epic from there.

It was an epic from the nation of Greece. As he deciphered the Greek language, he uncovered an important riddle from the mythology.

A riddle posed by a mystical creature encountered by a hero crossing the huge desert. This creature, described as having a human head and a lions physique, had requested a riddle.

He supposed to pose this stimulating mental problem to Yi-gang.

Now, within the morning it walks on 4 legs, at midday

Sigh.

However this sigh?

Though the riddle was meant to be unsolvable, the All-knowing Masters eyebrows twitched at Yi-gangs angle.

At midday it walks on two legs, and within the night, on three. What’s it?

The All-knowing Grasp contemplated for a full three days, intentionally avoiding studying the a part of the epic the place the reply was revealed.

And the joys he felt when he lastly found out the reply

As it’s going to take about quarter-hour for the hourglass to expire, you higher hurry

Its a human.

Not a human, I mentioned quarter-hour What did you say?

The reply is a human, isnt it?

As an toddler, one crawls on all fours, walks on two legs in youth, and makes use of a cane in previous age.

Yi-gang completely defined the reply.

The All-knowing Masters face contorted.

H-how did you

His eyes have been full of suspicion earlier than admiration. It appeared to him that Yi-gang already knew the riddle. However there was no means Yi-gang may have recognized about this downside that even the All-knowing Grasp had solely simply deciphered.

The Blue-Eyed Mad Demon was additionally amazed.

Youre unimaginable! I believed it was a four-legged yokai.

What? Hows that the reply?

Within the morning, it crawled on 4 legs, however bought caught by somebody round midday, so two legs have been lower off, and by night, one leg had regenerated.

Ought to that be thought of artistic?

Yi-gang barely managed to suppress a twitch in his lips.

As a result of the All-knowing Grasp was taking a look at him with suspicion.

I used to be simply fortunate.

Its not the type of riddle one may guess accurately simply by luck.

Yi-gang humbly maintained a relaxed face.

However the fact was that he had given the proper reply.

I keep in mind studying this riddle someplace earlier than.

Oh, so youve learn some books, is that it?

Finally, the All-knowing Grasp clicked his tongue and nodded.

You wouldnt have discovered and skim an epic written in Greek Fairly spectacular.

Its the proper reply. Now, the interior elixir is mine.

Yi-gang didnt suppose the All-knowing Grasp was the sort to interrupt a promise out of pettiness.

The All-knowing Grasp nodded.

Thats proper.

And now, as promised, it’s a must to inform me. What precisely is that this merchandise?

But, it appeared too straightforward for the All-knowing Grasp to confess defeat.

As anticipated, the All-knowing Grasp defined with a crafty smile.

The bloodstone just isn’t really a correct inside elixir. Its as a result of the Samgwi was not a real yokai.

What do you imply?

That factor was a monkey cub raised within the Three Ghosts Bronze Cauldron. Finally, it turned a yokai.

It was a weird and ominous story.

The blood and lives it consumed have condensed into the bloodstone. That immense evil vitality just isn’t one thing a human can purify. If eaten, it’s going to actually result in dying.

The truth that consuming the bloodstone may lead to dying was true.

Yi-gang felt a chill down his backbone.

That cant be! It appeared so helpful to the physique.

Whereas the Blue-Eyed Mad Demon, being half yokai, won’t be affected, Yi-gang couldnt devour the bloodstone.

Yi-gangs expression grew colder. An inside elixir dangerous to the physique was ineffective to him.

The one means to make use of the bloodstone is to create a brand new Treasure just like the Three Ghosts Bronze Cauldron.

!

The All-knowing Grasp added extra particulars to his clarification.

What he was describing was completely different from the idea of a man-made Treasure.

Because the bloodstone was virtually the primary part of the Three Ghosts Bronze Cauldron Treasure, it was akin to changing its energy supply.

Regardless, the All-knowing Grasp stored his promise and gave a solution, however there was nothing Yi-gang may do.

He was caressing the bloodstone handed to him by Yi-gang as if it have been a treasure.

Yi-gang contemplated over Dam Hyuns laughter.

Khihit.

Please dont snicker like that. Its embarrassing.

I-is it?

Wanting completely regular but laughing in such a way, individuals strolling by stored staring.

Any concepts on the best way to use it?

There was a purpose Yi-gang had refused the All-knowing Masters wager on using the bloodstone and ran out.

His senior brother, Dam Hyun, possessed data extending even to the demonic path and darkish arts. On condition that he knew issues even the Grand Library Grasp Yu Jeong-shin didnt, Yi-gang trusted him.

And he didn’t disappoint Yi-gangs expectations.

I can consider a few hundred methods to make use of it.

Thats a reduction.

However there’s a notably great way to make use of it.

Dam Hyun instantly found out the makes use of of the bloodstone and the Three Ghosts Bronze Cauldron.

That bronze cauldron isn’t any odd merchandise both. That previous man, the All-knowing Grasp, may need given it to you pondering little of you, however the materials that contained the yokai isn’t any odd bronze. Particularly this lid.

The lid of the Three Ghosts Bronze Cauldron had a rare sample engraved on it.

The bloodstone, as that previous man mentioned, just isn’t one thing to be consumed. Its extra akin to a core than an inside elixir.

A core?

One thing like an influence supply, giving the power to maneuver Ah, by no means thoughts, you wouldnt perceive anyway.

Each time Dam Hyun spoke like this, it was astonishing. Talking of an idea like a core was not one thing you’d discover in odd Taoist practitioners.

It was stunning how he may nonetheless act so haughtily after being outwitted by Yi-gang.

However Yi-gang patiently bore it.

With this, I could make a doll for you.

Yahoo!

The Blue-Eyed Mad Demon joyfully floated within the air.

The very first thing Dam Hyun considered was making a physique, a doll, that the Blue-Eyed Mad Demon may use.

A doll, like that shabby wood doll from earlier than?

Shabby? That was a treasured merchandise constructed from lightning-struck jujube wooden, or moderately Pizao Wooden.

It was unclear why a doll had been constructed from Pizao Wooden, a sort of wooden mentioned to thrust back yokai.

With these supplies, I could make a extra intricate and delightful fox doll.

Nicely, lets do this then.

Yi-gang nodded as properly.

With Dam Hyuns eyes gleaming and the Blue-Eyed Mad Demon so completely happy, it appeared like an excellent state of affairs.

Dam Hyun, nevertheless, immediately regarded round with a sheepish expression.

However why is everybody looking at us? Is it due to me?

Perhaps its due to me?

As they walked contained in the Murim Alliance, they began to draw increasingly consideration.

Furthermore, the place they arrived at was bustling with individuals.

Why?

I used to be supposed to return right here.

The place is that this?

Its the dueling floor.

There have been a number of official dueling grounds inside the Murim Alliance.

The one Yi-gang and Dam Hyun had come to was certainly one of these.

The gang gathered right here consisted fully of spectators.

Who’re you purported to duel with?

Ive organized a match with the successor of the Jegal Clan.

That poor man, mentioned Dam Hyun with a chuckle.

As Yi-gang approached the dueling floor, the gang parted to make means for him.

Close to the dueling floor, many acquainted faces have been seen.

There have been Peng Mu-ah and Baek Ha-jun, in addition to the successors of the Dragon-Phoenix and Seven Stars Conferences.

And on the dueling floor, leisurely waving a fan, was an individual.

Because you hadnt arrived on time, I used to be questioning if one thing had occurred.

Jegal Seon spoke in a tone that appeared virtually mocking.

Yi-gang leaped onto the dueling floor.

I used to be a bit delayed coping with one other matter.

Hoho, taking your time, I see.

Yi-gang set down the pot he was carrying in a single nook of the dueling floor.

Then he laid his hand on his sword.

Lets begin.

Youre in a rush, I see.

I dislike losing time.

Veins throbbed on Jegal Seons brow.

Fantastic. The martial artists gathered right here will bear witness to our duel.

Since Yi-gang made his look in Jianghu, in entrance of the long run representatives of the orthodox Murim, Yi-gangs first duel started.
