Xie Zhou still couldn't understand why the two adults who had just been fighting in front of him had suddenly changed their attitude and wanted to take him as their disciple.
Just as the system had guessed, it was because it sensed the power of all living beings within the system that things had changed so drastically. This was beyond her comprehension. Indeed, man proposes, God disposes; things change faster than a sudden turn of events.
Xie Zhou then stepped forward and said, "May I ask who these two powerful individuals are? I have never seen them before, so why are they fighting here?"
The two old men laughed and then explained, “Hahaha…we are just a few remnant souls, not real people. In life, we were here to suppress this bloodthirsty bead. After death, we became two Confucian scholar statues. Perhaps it is the remnants of our souls and power that have been gathered here that have made us who we are.”
“That’s right, these are just two remnants of our souls. We have been guarding this place for thousands of years, waiting for a destined person. But after waiting for thousands of years, we have failed to transcend the tribulation and have been wandering around like lonely ghosts. Today, we have met you, little girl, so we plan to take you as our disciple and pass on our respective inherited techniques to you. We will also give you this bead.”
Such a wonderful thing! Xie Zhou is truly blessed with extraordinary abilities. Not only does he have a cheat code, but he also unexpectedly encounters these two powerful figures who claim they will pass on their life's skills to him. However, Xie Zhou has no idea what the purpose of that bead is.
It came without any effort; it was all to complete the task assigned by the system. As long as you get the bead, you will receive a reward.
Xie Zhou stepped forward and took the bead from the man's hand, asking curiously, "Although you are very powerful, please allow me to consider it further. I would like to ask the two elders, what is the purpose of this Bloodthirsty Bead?"
"Hahaha……"
An old man gently stroked his beard and said, "Please explore its functions yourself. However, if you become our apprentice, we will pass on all the knowledge we have acquired in our lives to you, which will fulfill our wish."
“You know, this old man is very eccentric. We’ve been guarding this place for years, and it’s been incredibly boring. No one has been able to talk to us for a long time. So we were thinking that if we destroyed this bead, we could leave this place, return to the cycle of reincarnation, be reborn, and be put into the next life.”
"But the beads suddenly disoriented us, and we started fighting right there."
"However, your arrival has caused this Bloodthirsty Bead to react. It seems that it was born to be yours."
"I don't mean to be offensive, but what you're doing..."
Xie Zhou had never heard such a joke before. He never expected that these two people would fight so fiercely over so-called freedom, almost accidentally injuring people from his sect.
"The two elders must not do such impulsive things again. The power of your fight just now was too great, and the aftershocks almost affected the lives of others."
"We were unaware of the severity of our loss of consciousness or whether we had harmed anyone else."
"I guess not, but do you two really want to take me, this young girl, as your apprentice?"
“You’re quite something, girl. Since you won’t let us fulfill a wish we’ve been holding onto, let us pass this bead on to you and make you my apprentice.”
"Yes, yes, we've been waiting for this day for tens of thousands of years."
The system then said, "Host, just agree to their request. After all, you can get the Bloodthirsty Pearl and also inherit their cultivation techniques. Isn't that a win-win situation? Why are you still hesitating?"
Xie Zhou was actually thinking that she had never encountered such a situation before, and she felt like she was still living in a dream, as if the whole thing was just her imagination.
The two old men reiterated their request once again, asking her to become their apprentice.
Xie Zhou then agreed.
He stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Disciple Xie Zhou wishes to acknowledge the two great masters as his masters. Please accept this bow from your disciple!"
The two old rascals were finally happy and grinned from ear to ear.
"Hahaha... Alright! Get up!"
"However, I have another task for you, my disciple. This Bloodthirsty Bead and our cultivation technique are not given to you for nothing. I need you to find the location of our physical bodies. This is the map."
After Xie Zhou took the map, he nodded solemnly and said, "Okay!"
At this moment, the three of them were enveloped in several halos of light. Xie Zhou sat cross-legged in the middle, while the two powerful beings on either side transmitted their cultivation techniques to her.
"Disciple, focus your energy in your dantian, do not use any mental power, naturally feel our technique, do not rush, take your time, slowly learn from it..."
An old man gave these earnest instructions, fearing that Xie Zhou might suffer a qi deviation due to absorbing too much power at once.
Xie Zhou followed the instructions of the two teachers, gradually relaxed, and felt the power they were conveying.
Soon, a lot of spiritual energy slowly flowed through Xie Zhou's meridians like silk threads, and finally settled in his dantian.
Half an hour later, Xie Zhou woke up, feeling full of energy.
He then smiled and said, "Thank you, Master!"
"Alright, but the Bloodthirsty Bead has always represented a rather evil blood energy. We must seal this thing so that my disciple can use it normally."
The two teachers suddenly looked a little serious, but soon smiled.
Before Xie Zhou could recover, his two masters vanished into the world, their souls flowing into the Bloodthirsty Bead.
Xie Zhou gripped the map tightly, put away the Bloodthirsty Bead, and then set off to find the location of the two powerful beings' physical bodies.
"Ding! Host has completed the mission and has been rewarded with a wisp of merit!"
"Is there only a trace of merit power?"
"Host, don't be greedy. This is enough. A trace of merit is more powerful than the power of all living beings."
"Alright, even a little bit is power!"
Xie Zhou dared not waste any time, as he still needed to find the physical bodies of his two masters. So he took the map and used his magical artifacts to travel to any location. He quickly found the exact location by following the map's guidance and saw the physical bodies of his two masters. He discovered that they were actually quite young.
After burying him, Xie Zhou erected a monument, bowed and kowtowed, and then left.
After everything was over, she rushed back without stopping, lest Senior Brother Song and Senior Brother Luo discover that she was missing and she would inevitably be questioned.
Xie Zhou quickly arrived at the meeting place, only to find that a sect had suddenly appeared in the group.
