Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1518: Chapter 1518: Thief Realm Master

A Nascent Soul Realm expert was circling around a Foundation Establishment Martial Artist in perfection, keen on accepting him as a disciple, while the latter seemed hesitant, not wanting to agree...

If other Martial Artists saw this scene, they would be so angry they’d want to kill Fang Bai and then stomp on him a few times, cursing, "What an ungrateful brat!"

A Nascent Soul expert, with strength far surpassing a Golden Core expert, is someone many Foundation Establishment experts dream of being guided by, let alone having the opportunity to be accepted as a disciple, which is truly a dream come true for any Foundation Establishment expert.

Yet now, there’s a Nascent Soul expert willing to take Fang Bai as a disciple, and Fang Bai appears reluctant. How could any Martial Artist who witnessed this not feel envious and jealous?

Fortunately, Fang Bai didn’t hesitate for too long.

Seeing He Wujie’s anxious hand-rubbing, Fang Bai knew he sincerely wanted to accept him as a disciple. If he refused, He Wujie wouldn’t resort to forceful tactics, but he would certainly persistently pester him.

Fang Bai isn’t afraid of others being forceful; what he fears is nagging and persistence, which would be quite a headache.

Fortunately, He Wujie is a Nascent Soul expert, and sticking by his side should offer some benefits, so it’s not a bad deal.

"Master above, please accept disciple Fang Bai’s bow!"

Fang Bai was straightforward. Once he made up his mind, he didn’t hesitate any longer. He stood up and respectfully bowed to He Wujie, formally accepting him as his master.

"Good disciple... haha... good disciple..."

He Wujie was overjoyed, gently helping Fang Bai stand up while stroking his white beard, nodding in satisfaction.

Fang Bai did not hide his cultivation level in the Nether Corpse Land and even revealed his fire and wood dual-attribute innate spiritual root, which instantly sparked He Wujie’s interest in such a talented individual.

And after learning that Fang Bai also knew the method to brew the Thousand Spirits Elixir, He Wujie felt this was fate, further solidifying his determination to take Fang Bai as a disciple. noveldrama

He Wujie himself had a fire and wood dual-attribute innate spiritual root and was also an Alchemist. He had a great fondness for Fang Bai, who shared many similarities with him, and was determined to nurture this newly accepted disciple to surpass his own achievements.

In Fang Bai’s eyes, He Wujie, possessing a dual-attribute innate spiritual root, was already over two hundred years old. Logically, his cultivation shouldn’t just be at the Nascent Soul initial stage, likely hindered by the limitations of his cultivation technique, preventing further advancement.

Fang Bai understood that no matter how talented a Martial Artist is, achieving greater success in the Martial Dao is impossible without a high-level cultivation method.

And Fang Bai lacked nothing more than cultivation techniques.

Therefore, while it seemed like He Wujie was giving Fang Bai a huge advantage by taking him on as a disciple, He Wujie was actually the truly fortunate one.

After all, Fang Bai possessed the memories of his past life as an Immortal Emperor. As long as he wasn’t lacking cultivation resources, his achievements would ultimately surpass He Wujie.

In contrast, He Wujie’s cultivation level had already reached a bottleneck, making further progress extremely difficult. If Fang Bai could occasionally provide some guidance, He Wujie might have a chance to break through the bottleneck and take flight.

"Come, good disciple, let’s sit and chat..."

By chance, He Wujie had taken on a remarkably talented disciple in Fang Bai. Pleased, he wasn’t in a hurry to train within the Nether Corpse Land. He invited Fang Bai to sit on a big rock, talking about anything and everything.

The two discussed topics ranging from the brewing method of the Thousand Spirits Elixir to alchemy techniques, cultivation methods, and even the customs and experiences of the Three Thousand Worlds...

He Wujie had been to many places in the Three Thousand Worlds and experienced hundreds of battles. He prided himself on his vast knowledge, extensive experience, and abundant combat wisdom, thinking there was much he could teach Fang Bai.

However, during their conversation, He Wujie found himself deflated, realizing that his new disciple seemed nothing short of a prodigy, knowing almost as much as he did, even possessing unique insights into cultivation techniques that suddenly enlightened him.

But after the initial dejection, He Wujie felt immensely excited, thinking that now that this kid was his disciple, the higher his achievements, the more glorious it would be for him.

In the future, when this disciple becomes renowned throughout the Three Thousand Worlds, wouldn’t he, as the master, also share in the glory?

"Master, how did you earn the nickname ’Thousand-Hand Venerable’?"

Fang Bai suddenly asked with a smile.

"Uh..."

Upon hearing Fang Bai’s question, He Wujie’s expression turned awkward, as if there was a secret he couldn’t fully express. He scratched his head and said, "This... this..."

Fang Bai grinned, "Let me guess... could it be that Master practices a technique related to the name ’Thousand-Hands’?"

He Wujie shook his head, his face unexpectedly turning a bit red.

"Then it must be that when Master faces opponents, he moves exceptionally fast, leaving others unable to react, thus earning the beautiful name ’Thousand-Hands’!"

Fang Bai guessed again.

He Wujie continued to shake his head and, before Fang Bai could guess again, gritted his teeth and said, "Stop guessing! I’ll tell you! The ’Thousand-Hands’ nickname refers to being a master in the Thief Realm!"

Fang Bai gasped and said blankly, "Master... a master in the Thief Realm?"

Thrown off guard, He Wujie braced himself and awkwardly explained, "It’s a bit embarrassing to admit... Actually, Master enjoys a bit of sneaking around... well, like frequently stealing cultivation resources from other Martial Artists! Because Master rarely fails and has a Nascent Soul cultivation level, I gained the moniker ’Thousand-Hand Venerable’!"

He paused, worried that Fang Bai would feel disdain or look down on him. He hurriedly added, "But there’s honor even among thieves. The targets are unsavory individuals, and I’ve never harmed innocent lives..."

As he spoke, he surreptitiously observed Fang Bai’s expression, relieved to see no disdain or contempt but rather enthusiasm and excitement.

Upon hearing the explanations, Fang Bai eagerly rubbed his hands together, "I never thought Master had such skills! Would you teach me in the future? Hee hee, I’m currently short on cultivation resources, it would be perfect to steal some for cultivation! Together we’ll become the Thief Realm’s top master-disciple duo!"

He Wujie’s eyes brightened, thinking how perfectly this disciple matched his own inclinations. He burst into hearty laughter, slapping his thigh, and said, "Alright, Master will teach you the art of thievery right now!"

So the master and disciple sat face to face, one teaching earnestly, the other learning diligently, openly and cheerfully discussing a thievery art that other Martial Artists would scorn, without any sense of shame.

In truth, He Wujie’s thievery technique boiled down essentially to two things: speed and stealth.

The so-called speed entails taking action quickly and swiftly.

The so-called stealth involves knowing how to conceal one’s aura.

With these guarantees, stealing cultivation resources from other Martial Artists becomes an unnoticed act, with a high success rate.
