Primordial Emperor

"One million low-grade Spirit Crystals?!"

Upon hearing the tribute Lin Chen quoted for apprenticeship, Wang Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had thought Lin Chen would set an extremely high price, making this master-disciple relationship out of reach for him.

However, the price Lin Chen gave was high, but within his affordable range. One million low-grade Spirit Crystals, he could procure them.

Though a Formation Master is one of the most costly professions, once one becomes a Formation Master, the money-earning rate is also extremely fast. After all, Spiritual Formations and Talisman Inscriptions, much like elixirs and Artifact Refining, are sources of huge profits, essential consumables for any Martial Artist.

And Wang Tong, being the First Array Master of Cloud Dragon Kingdom, could casually arrange a formation or refine a batch of talismans for sale at astronomical prices.

There are countless powerful individuals who are eager to seek Wang Tong for setting up Spiritual Formations and refining talismans.

Wang Tong looked at Lin Chen, his eyes shining, and immediately retrieved a Space Ring, handing it to Lin Chen.

"Master, this is your disciple's one million low-grade Spirit Crystals, please accept it with a smile." Wang Tong looked at Lin Chen and offered the Spirit Stones.

Seeing this, Lin Chen was surprised, never expecting Wang Tong to be so straightforward, directly handing over the Spirit Stones to him.

He had thought Wang Tong would be scared off by this exorbitant tribute.

Since Wang Tong produced one million low-grade Spirit Crystals, Lin Chen naturally did not hold back and directly accepted the Spirit Stones Wang Tong handed over.

"Since you've shown sincerity, it's not impossible to take me as your master, but I have a condition." Lin Chen looked at Wang Tong and said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tong hurriedly nodded, afraid that Lin Chen might change his mind.

"Master, please speak. No matter what the condition is, your disciple will definitely fulfill it." Wang Tong looked at Lin Chen and said.

"My condition is simple. In front of outsiders, do not reveal our master-disciple relationship. After all, I came to Yunlong Heavenly Palace to study quietly." Lin Chen looked at Wang Tong and said with a serious expression.

It's a joke that being worshipped by someone of Wang Tong's stature as a master, if this matter were to spread, one cannot imagine what kind of trouble it might bring him. So Lin Chen didn't want this relationship to be known by others.

If people knew, Lin Chen feared it would immediately attract the attention of certain factions, turning him into the primary target of execution, like Black Yan Hall, who always opposed Yunlong Heavenly Palace.

If they knew Wang Tong had a master above him, they would definitely try every means to take Lin Chen's life.

After all, previously Black Yan Hall had specifically sent envoys to hunt the Top Ten Heroes during the Yunlong Heavenly Palace's assessment.

If Lin Chen's identity as Wang Tong's master were exposed, he would likely become the primary target of Black Yan Hall.

Although it might be safe within Yunlong Heavenly Palace where no one would dare act rashly, who knows if there are any Black Yan Hall moles inside the palace.

"I understand what Master has said, and I will definitely comply." Wang Tong looked at Lin Chen and said excitedly.

Hearing this, Lin Chen waved his hand, signaling Wang Tong to rise.

"You two, rise as well," Lin Chen said to Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin.

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin remained motionless, not daring to make a move without Wang Tong's order.

"You two, why are you still standing there blankly? Didn't you hear your Grandmaster's words? In the future, your Grandmaster's orders are my orders."

"Moreover, in the future, everything in the Spirit Formation Hall will be decided solely by your Grandmaster." Wang Tong said in front of Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin.

One has to admit, such power granted is indeed considerable.

Upon hearing Wang Tong's words, Zhuang Xiaoqin and Qiu Yue felt injustice in their hearts.

To know, before Lin Chen's arrival, their master treated them quite kindly, unlike now with such harsh reprimands.

No way around it, having Lin Chen take him as an apprentice after all, Wang Tong became extremely cautious and prudent.

After all, if he displeased Lin Chen and got expelled from the sect, he would have nowhere to justify himself.

Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at her master's cowardly demeanor before Lin Chen, feeling extremely speechless inside.

For Zhuang Xiaoqin, she even slightly regretted revealing all about Lin Chen in class yesterday to her master.

If it weren't for her talking too much, her master wouldn't have set his sights on Lin Chen, much less now bowing to Lin Chen as a master.

Lin Chen took Wang Tong's one million low-grade Spirit Crystals, and with Wang Tong showing him such great respect, Lin Chen couldn't help but also transmit the formation method for breaking through the Forbidden Encyclopedia to him.

Thus, Lin Chen not only taught spells but also painstakingly explained the mysteries of restrictions to Wang Tong.

With Lin Chen's careful analysis and explanation, Wang Tong suddenly saw the light and was utterly impressed with Lin Chen's profound understanding.

After all, Lin Chen surely hadn't encountered Cold Nether Evil Yin before, yet after this exposure, in less than about 10 minutes, he had such a deep understanding and could perform an analysis more thorough than Wang Tong's century-old research.

At this moment, Wang Tong was more certain than ever that humbly taking Lin Chen as a master was an extremely wise decision.

When Lin Chen explained Cold Nether Evil Yin to Wang Tong, Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin also listened on the side. After all, being Lin Chen's disciples, Lin Chen didn't hold back and allowed them to stay and listen.

After hearing Lin Chen's explanation of formations, the two were extremely shocked, having to admit Lin Chen's achievements in formation arts were astonishing, surpassing their master's formation level alone.

However, the two girls thought of Lin Chen's cultivation being only Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer and younger than them, yet they have to call Lin Chen "Grandmaster." It was not a good feeling in their hearts.

After explaining Cold Nether Evil Yin to Wang Tong, Wang Tong repeatedly asked about the formation issues that troubled him for years, to which Lin Chen answered one by one, including the Gathering Fire Spirit Flame Array in Flame Valley at Duan Yuanfeng.

At the same time, Lin Chen also revised the Strength Talisman improved by Wang Tong, pointing out its flaws and shortcomings, enhancing its power several folds.
