CHAPTER 35: TIMES CHANGE, BUT ONLY IDEAS PERSIST. PART 2
Adrian and Bai Guoer had returned to the city of Various Seasons.
This time it didn't take him long. After all, after a long time they had chosen a route.
"Since they are here, it's time for Bai Guoer to pay for my teaching" – Apothecary Gu said with a smile, he really couldn't charge Adrian anymore, it was because of the hierarchy in alchemy, although he did when they used some of his plants.
"Si Master Gu" – Bai Guoer took out 200 coins and paid him, he really wanted to leave the store, but if he did, he wouldn't be able to see his elder brother every day.
Adrián spent a lot of time in the store because for him it was like a second home, he had gotten used to this place, in addition, for a few coins he could send some messages to his grandfather. Although the answers took a long time to return.
Adrián entered the store, he wanted to rest a little, and then continue with his study.
But at that moment, Apothecary Gu spoke again.
"Old Sonu, it's good that you're back, now I can introduce my disciple" – Apothecary Gu spoke, while putting on his smug face.
At the same time he called Adrian.
Adrian turned again to see Old Sonu or as his master called him, but he was surprised to see the two sisters next to the old man.
The two sisters also looked at him, but they didn't say anything in front of their master.
"So he is your disciple, he doesn't look as young as you had mentioned."
"I present myself to Master Sonu, my name is Adrian, disciple of the apothecary Gu"
"Hahaha, his body was reshaped by the pills, it was a shocking change, when I met him it barely reached my abdomen, but now he has grown almost double, but yes, he is the one to mention you" – Apothecary Gu, proudly introduced Adrian, after all he was someone who had instructed a mid-level alchemist.
Master Sonu evaluated Adrian, but even he couldn't see what was hiding in his shadow.
He could only be surprised, that a young man like him was a mid-level alchemist.
He also evaluated the girl along with Adrian, who was the same age as him, but she already had a cultivation of the sixth level of Qi condensation. This in itself was surprising.
"I didn't think you really had two great disciples, this really exceeded my expectations" – Master Sanu said, he was thinking things through seriously.
"Oh Bai Guoer, she has only increased her level by the middle level pills, but she is still a decent talent, that's why I have also instructed her, although she is quite lacking" – Apothecary Gu said, he could feel that those two sisters were at the tenth level of Qi condensation.
They really were extraordinary talents at such a young age, just one step away from entering the foundation establishment.
But compared with his disciples, they still lacked a lot.
Or so he thought. He rejoiced quite a lot with the face his friend Sonu made.
The two sisters evaluated Adrian, because of the fog they couldn't see him well, but in this place, they could see him clearly. He was a young man with a transcendental bearing, but he only gave off the aura of the fourth level of Qi condensation.
They wondered how he was able to stop the power of the palm of the mist, Sister Aeger kept thinking that Adrian still had hidden treasures from Mr. Pill.
"If you see, I told you that my disciples would surprise you..." – Apothecary Gu continued to speak, showing off in front of his friend Sonu, however, Master Sonu was thinking seriously.
Adrian wanted to say goodbye to go to rest, but he couldn't leave in front of an important friend of the apothecary Gu.
After Master Sonu thought about it a lot, he took out two buttons from his ring.
When Apothecary Gu saw the two buttons, even he was taken aback and shut up for a while.
"Yes, you are cunning" – Apothecary Gu said, before laughing and stepping aside.
Master Sonu with his two buttons approached Adrian.
"These are two badges of external disciples of the Holy Church of Motzu, I offer them to the two of you, I would like you to become disciples of our Church, if so, I can guarantee that you will attain great merits in your cultivation, I will instruct you myself" – Master Sonu spoke, even the two sisters were surprised by such a decision, The two outer disciple badges were only given to the most outstanding beings within the continent.
The two sisters had followed Master Sonu since he had taken them in, but they had hardly ever seen her hand over such a badge, it seemed that no one was surprising in her eyes, but now she was handing it over to two strangers.
"Holy Church of Motzu?" – Adrian asked, it was the first time he heard that name, he didn't know if it was a kind of sect, or what he did, after all he was still a child, and he hadn't explored the world.
When Master Sonu heard Adrian's question, he smiled, and an air of pride came out of his body.
"Our Church has existed for thousands of years! We are one of the protective pillars of the Suaking continent, and we have endured over a thousand wars, on the supreme continent we were once a supersect with over twenty provinces in our domain! Today our strength is not like before, but our foundations are deeply rooted, at the same time we are specialized in dealing with demons!" – All that air, it seemed that it was coming together with the illumination of the Sun, looking like Master Sonu was bathing in gold.
However, after seeing everyone's face, she realized that she got carried away, so she coughed a couple of times, before returning to her normal state.
"I know you don't know the world beyond this city, but if you come with me, rest assured that your view of the world will change forever!" – Master Sonu said with great enthusiasm, his words were truly inspiring to anyone who would listen.
When Adrian heard that they specialized in killing Demons, something awoke in him, he knew that his goal despite being strong and trying to avenge his family, was in truth.....
"Kill the Demon in the Sky" – He had always looked up at the sky with that eagerness, that was why he always did the impossible to survive, even in death, he thought about the hatred he had towards that face, thanks to all its events, his survival instincts had developed as he grew up.
His great goal in life was to destroy that face. Kill the Devil.
Adrian clenched his fists tightly, it seemed that in his shadow the two entities could feel his feelings so they also went into a frenzy, they were just waiting for his order, to finish off everyone.
"You're fine, Brother Adrian" – When Bai Guoer saw his elder brother trembling, he suddenly held his arm worriedly, he had spent a lot of time with Adrian, so he had never seen him like this. He had always remained calm, even if his opponent's strength was greater than his own. But now, he looked like someone else.
Adrian felt his younger sister Bai Guoer's embrace, so he lowered his head a little, and took a breath, his emotions really came to the surface when someone talked about demons.
"Yes, thank you" – Adrian replied, Bai Guoer smiled.
Adrian looked at the two badges, this was really a big decision, and his future, really in the forbidden city could continue to develop, but if he didn't know the world, he would really miss out on a great opportunity.
"So, what is your choice young Adrian?" – Master Sonu said, he really hoped that he would choose to follow them, two such outstanding young men were very important to this generation.
Bai Guoer looked at Adrian, if he chose to follow Master Sonu she would also go.
Adrián clenched his fists.
"I can ask one last question" – Adrian spoke while looking into Master Sonu's eyes.
Master Sonu felt a great presence coming from Adrian, it seemed that his response would be decisive for Adrian to choose a path to follow.
"You can ask anything, I will answer you only if I know the answer" – Master Sonu spoke.
While Aeger next to him wanted to say something, it was already an honor that Master Sonu offered a badge to be his disciple, but Adrian didn't accept, he was just asking silly questions, or so he thought from his point of view.
Apothecary Gu looked at Adrian's clenched fists, really seeing his disciple angry was a special occasion, he really always showed up relaxed and in search of knowledge, today was a special day.
Adrian continued to look at Master Sonu, when his hand slowly pointed to the sky, Master Sonu followed his line of sight, coming to observe the face of the Demon.
When Adrián pointed it out it seemed that something changed in the atmosphere, as if what he was about to say was not something simple, but something more important.
"If I follow him..."- Adrian continued to look at Master Sonu, when from his hand he pointed to the sky, Master Sonu followed his line of sight, pointing to the face of the Demon nailed with a sword.
"Can you promise me that one day I will be strong enough to be able to kill him!?" – Adrian asked, with a determination that seemed to crush mountains, from his two eyes an imperceptible purple aura was shown, this aura seemed to be about to erupt at any moment, wanting to cause the change of heaven and destroy the earth.
