Hua Shi had no idea about the conversation between Fang Wei and the evil spirit. He now had no idea what had happened. Why did his spirit creature suddenly change its appearance from a gentle and handsome elf into a bully and vicious spirit? And why did his master's expression suddenly change after seeing his spirit creature.
He had never seen any humanoid spirit creature other than his own in the spiritual realm. Now that his own spirit creature was standing in front of Xuan Shuzhi in this state, even a fool could see that it was not an ordinary spirit creature at all, and had nothing to do with the white tiger.
But Xuan Shuzhi believed that it was the White Tiger.
This is problematic no matter how you look at it.
Recalling what the spirit creature said before it returned to itself, Hua Shi couldn't help but climb in front of Xuan Shuzhi and asked, "Master, have you really seen my spirit creature?"
Xuan Shuzhi held his chin with his hand and smiled casually: "Didn't we just see this?"
Hua Shi naturally didn't believe his nonsense. He already knew what kind of person Xuan Shuzhi was. This old fox said one thing to one person and another thing to another. Naturally, he couldn't believe what he said.
So Hua Shi asked again: "Master, you know this elf, right?"
Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyes slightly and suddenly asked, "Elf?"
Hua Shi nodded: "It is my spiritual object."
"That's not evil..." Xuan Shuzhi stopped talking quickly, followed Hua Shi's words and nodded and smiled: "Didn't you say that it was a white tiger?"
Hua Shi blinked: "Do you admit that you know him?"
Xuan Shuzhi paused for a moment, and couldn't help laughing. He tapped Hua Shi's forehead and said, "Little guy, you actually tricked me."
Although Hua Shi looked a little heartless at ordinary times, as if he didn't care about anything and didn't know anything, but when he encountered something he really wanted to understand, he seemed to be very smart and his mind was so active that he could think of everything. When he asked this, Xuan Shuzhi no longer concealed it and immediately responded: "Yes, although I don't know him, I have heard about him before."
Hua Shi confirmed his guess and quickly asked, "What else do you know?"
Xuan Shuzhi found it a little funny. He did have some things he wanted to confirm with Hua Shi, but he didn't know where to start. After pondering for a moment, Xuan Shuzhi asked Hua Shi: "If I'm not mistaken, this... elf should have been specially prepared for you, right?"
This was indeed true. Hua Shi nodded immediately. The evil spirit was indeed the task reward that the system had prepared for him long ago.
Xuan Shuzhi continued, "You should have other magic weapons on you, which were also left to you by others, right?"
Hua Shi responded immediately. The three magic weapons on him were indeed given by the system plot.
Hua Shi didn't expect that his master would know so much. He felt a little surprised, but then he figured it out.
Perhaps there is nothing surprising about this, because his master should also be a gift from the system.
Xuan Shuzhi had no idea what Hua Shi was thinking. He wanted to confirm his guess, so he continued to induce Hua Shi and asked, "You should have some kind of inheritance. If I'm not mistaken, you should have started practicing some kind of skills before you became my disciple, right?"
Hua Shi's eyes sparkled even brighter. After hearing Xuan Shuzhi's statement that there was absolutely nothing wrong with it, he nodded quickly and said, "Master, you are right."
Xuan Shuzhi smiled. He had almost confirmed it. He whispered, "The last question. I guess you still have some kind of token on you to prove your identity as the heir, right?"
Xuan Shuzhi had predicted his own affairs again. No matter how surprised Hua Shi was, he knew that the master in front of him should be someone who knew the inside story. After hearing Xuan Shuzhi's last question, he hesitated for only a moment and then took out from the space of Yunxiu Pen the token that he had found in the secret room of the Ningshan Lingdao headquarters a few months ago.
He handed the token to Xuan Shuzhi and spread out his hands. The shape of the black token fell clearly into Xuan Shuzhi's eyes.
Xuan Shuzhi always had the look of a smiling fox, and there were very few situations that could make his expression change drastically. But now, seeing this token appear in Hua Shi's hand, he slightly exerted force on the hand that was originally holding the edge of the table, and his eyes narrowed tightly.
He stared at the token, as if he wanted to see all the patterns on it clearly. After a long time, he said in a low and almost weak voice: "It is indeed it, evil..."
Seeing that he recognized the token, Hua Shi immediately laughed and nodded, "Yes, this is it, the token of the first generation of the Spiritual Dao Master."
Xuan Shuzhi: “…”
He suddenly seemed to be stuck, and as Hua Shi said this, he stood there in a daze. All the emotions that he had just felt, whether sad, happy, or full of emotion, disappeared instantly with Hua Shi's words.
He hesitated, as if unsure, and asked softly, "What did you just say?"
Hua Shi was also stunned for a moment, then blinked and said, "Master, don't you know it? This is the token of the first generation Spiritual Dao Master, the system..." He guessed that Xuan Shuzhi didn't know about the existence of the system, and it seemed a bit unreasonable for him to suddenly talk about the system, so he changed his statement and said, "I got the inheritance of this first generation Spiritual Dao Master by chance. He left a message for me to find this token, and also told me to look for it..."
"I want you to carry this token with you. When you travel in this Xuanqing Continent in the future, someone who recognizes this token will come and recognize you and help you solve your problems, right?"
Xuan Shuzhi finally came to his senses after listening to Hua Shi's nonsense. He seemed to gradually understand something, so he asked again, "What other message did he leave behind?"
Hua Shi recalled the plot information given by the system at that time, and then said: "I also know that Xuanqing Continent has not been peaceful recently, and it seems that a great chaos is about to begin, so the first generation of spiritual master left a message, asking me to find this token and gather his old followers to fight against the upcoming chaos together."
Xuan Shuzhi pondered for a long while without saying anything, but occasionally glanced at Hua Shi.
The Xuanqing Continent is peaceful and tranquil now, and no major events have occurred for a long time. Even though there was unrest in the Spirit Realm not long ago, it was only a matter of the Spirit Realm and would not affect the Xuanqing Continent for the time being. So when ordinary people heard Hua Shi say this, they would think he was just talking nonsense, but Xuan Shuzhi was different. He listened to Hua Shi's words with a serious look, and then asked in a low voice: "Who else have you told these things to besides me?"
Having said that, without waiting for Hua Shi to respond, he changed the topic and asked, "Besides me, who else knows that you have this... um, this token left by the first generation of the Spiritual Dao Master."
Hua Shi paused after saying that, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, I only told you."
Xuan Shuzhi sighed meaningfully, and then murmured to himself, "I understand."
Hua Shi said: "Master, you..."
"You're right. I recognize this token. I'm one of the old subordinates left behind by the first generation of the Spiritual Dao Master you're looking for." Xuan Shuzhi paused here, thought for a moment and added, "Back then in the Blood Crow Cult and now in the Xuanling Pavilion, it was all to conceal my identity. I've actually been waiting for a young man with this token. I think you're the one I've been waiting for all these years."
Hua Shi opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but feel his heart beating a little faster than usual.
He hesitated and said, "Really?"
Xuan Shuzhi looked sincere and unreserved: "Of course."
Hua Shi did not speak immediately. He called the system in his mind with an irrepressible joy in his voice: "System! I finally found it! Am I following the right storyline? My master is actually the first generation of the Spiritual Master. Does that mean I can find the others quickly as well?"
Fang Wei: “…”
Although he didn't say a word throughout the whole process, he saw everything Xuan Shuzhi did to deceive the young master.
Just as he planned, after seeing that Hua Shi's contracted spirit was an evil spirit, Xuan Shuzhi almost immediately realized that Hua Shi's appearance was related to him. Because he wanted to confirm this, Xuan Shuzhi specifically asked Hua Shi a lot of questions, until Hua Shi finally took out the token and told Xuan Shuzhi that it was the token of the first generation of the master of the spiritual path.
This is the most critical link. As Hua Shi is a disciple of the spiritual way, he certainly does not want to associate with the evil way. So from the beginning, when he gained Hua Shi's trust, Fang Wei concealed the fact that the token was an evil token, and instead fabricated a more legitimate identity for it.
However, Fang Wei was unable to tell Xuan Shuzhi about this matter.
Fortunately, Xuan Shuzhi reacted very quickly. After hearing what Hua Shi said, he almost immediately guessed Fang Wei's plan, so he changed his words very quickly.
As for the things behind, and the fact that Xuan Shuzhi, as the first generation of the spiritual master, had to endure humiliation and wait for many years just to wait for Hua Shi to come...
He spoke so clearly and sincerely that if Fang Wei didn't know the inside story, he would have believed it too.
Although he found Xuan Shuzhi's ability to fabricate facts incredible, this was exactly what Fang Wei wanted. So while Hua Shi was chattering in his mind, Fang Wei finally used the remaining spiritual power to edit a crudely made system interface. The words appeared on the interface: "Congratulations to the host for completing the main task: Find one of the former subordinates of the first generation of the master of the spiritual path."
"The mission reward will be issued after finding three old subordinates. I hope the host will continue to work hard."
Hua Shi was still excited at first, but when he saw this he couldn't help but mutter, "Three?"
He finally came back to his senses at this time. He regained his composure and looked at his master again. Suddenly, he felt a kind of pleasure similar to participating in a card collecting game.
He had not seen much of Xuan Shuzhi's strength. To be honest, he had only seen him attack the Master of Poxuezhai at the Spirit Transformation Conference. But on the way to the Spirit Transformation Conference, Zhou Li had mentioned to him about the sects in the Xuanqing Continent. His tone was particularly cautious when mentioning Poxuezhai and Xuanling Pavilion. It seemed that the strength of the Master of Xuanling Pavilion should not be underestimated.
If this really is a card collecting game, Hua Shi feels that this should be at least a six-star orange card.
Thinking of this, Hua Shi couldn't help but look at Xuan Shuzhi again, and his mind automatically added a glittering golden background and six dazzling stars to him.
Xuan Shuzhi had fooled Hua Shi and finally confirmed that he had not ruined Fang Wei's plans. He then noticed that Hua Shi was looking at him strangely. He immediately touched his cheek and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hua Shi quickly shook his head: "It's windy here, I want to go back first."
Xuan Shuzhi called him with amusement: "Wait."
Hua Shi turned around and looked at him.
Xuan Shuzhi was still sitting in the pavilion holding a teacup, half-closing his eyes and smiling, "Since you are the one I'm waiting for, then it seems that we have to put the cultivation on the agenda as soon as possible, otherwise when disaster really comes in the future, we will be helpless, don't you think?"
