Chapter 2732 — Who Is My Master?

Otherwise, there would be no reason to cultivate Kang Jingming so assiduously. But what did they want the Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Transforming Pill for? Wei Zhao could not figure it out, and decided to ask Instructor Bai about it when he had the chance.
And thinking it through, everything suddenly made sense. The Kang family had thrown in their lot with the You family and the Xuan Dan Sect. The experts who had kidnapped Guan Xin were either from the hidden You family or from the Xuan Dan Sect. And Kang Jinglong, now that he reckoned he had grown formidable, was ostensibly speaking to Han Jingyi—but in truth he was showing off to Wei Zhao himself!
Seeing that Wei Zhao gave no response, Kang Jinglong was instantly somewhat disappointed, and he began to feel uncertain. Was Wei Zhao afraid of the Xuan Dan Sect or not? Why was there not the slightest reaction? It was true that Wei Zhao was formidable, true that he could kill early-stage Heaven-rank experts in a single strike—but the Xuan Dan Sect was a colossal entity. How could he not be afraid?
"Well? Han Jingyi, do you want to receive his guidance?" You Panhu did not much care about Wei Zhao's reaction. All he wanted was Han Jingyi's notes on the insights of an alchemist. As for provoking Wei Zhao, he had already lost most of his interest in that. Since the hidden You family could not afford to provoke him, then it was best not to provoke him at all.
"The Eighth Elder of the Xuan Dan Sect? Compared with my master, he is far too weak. Not interested." Han Jingyi spoke with a look of complete lack of interest.
"Your master? Who is your master?" You Panhu's eyes lit up, and his heart stirred. He asked Han Jingyi eagerly—he had always wanted to pry out the identity of Han Jingyi's teacher. Otherwise, how could Han Jingyi possibly know how to refine pills?
"My master? You do not know?" Han Jingyi asked in return.
"Who exactly is it? Can you tell me?" You Panhu asked eagerly.
"Fine, since you are so sincere about it, I will tell you." Han Jingyi said, "Actually, Jingjing's master is the greatest alchemy sage of the age, Zhang Lifeng…"
"What?! You really received Zhang Lifeng's inheritance?" You Panhu was startled.
"Jingjing has not finished yet. Do you want to hear it or not? If not, then forget it." Han Jingyi was quite displeased at being interrupted by You Panhu.
"Then… then go on, you tell it…" You Panhu said.
"My master is the disciple of the alchemy sage Zhang Lifeng, the most formidable alchemist in the world today—the Mysterious Heaven Ancestor!" Han Jingyi declared.
"…" You Panhu was instantly rendered utterly speechless. "You mean Instructor Bai?"
"So you already knew?" Han Jingyi glared at You Panhu unhappily. "Are you playing Jingjing for a fool? If there is nothing else, then leave. Jingjing needs to study!"
"This… all right then!" However little You Panhu knew of the world's heights, he could not possibly claim that Kang Jingming was more formidable than Instructor Bai. Even with every meridian in Instructor Bai's body ruined, he was still more formidable than Kang Jingming.
Kang Jinglong was rather gloomy as well. He had originally meant to intimidate Wei Zhao, to give him a shock—but now it seemed that Wei Zhao was indifferent to the matter, not taking it to heart at all.
Wang Xinyan, sitting in front, had also heard Kang Jinglong's words. The news that Kang Jingming had become a Heaven-rank expert and the Eighth Elder of the Xuan Dan Sect struck her chest like a heavy hammer, leaving her unable to breathe!
How could Kang Jingming be so fortunate? He had actually surpassed Wei Zhao and become a Heaven-rank expert? And his status in the Xuan Dan Sect was so high? All of it left Wang Xinyan feeling as though the world were spinning around her!
Just moments ago, hope had kindled in her heart—but now it seemed that Wei Zhao had once again fallen behind his rival?
Wang Xinyan stole a glance at Wei Zhao, wanting to speak but holding back.
