Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Semi-Saint Ambience

Yuan Shan’s expression was very calm, yet his heart was filled with anticipation.

Although he had only known Tang Yue’er for a short time, in just over an hour, he saw the shadow of his deceased granddaughter in her.

Moreover, Tang Yue’er’s Martial Path talent was exceptionally high, and only by joining the Guardian Hall could it be fully utilized.

"I..."

Tang Yue’er’s face was full of conflict, and she instinctively looked back towards the direction of the villa.

Joining the Guardian Hall would mean separating from Qin Chuan.

But if she continued to stay in the Secular World, given Qin Chuan’s talent, he would eventually go to the Ancient Martial World. Would she have such an opportunity then?

The most crucial point was that if she refused, Yuan Shan would leave with the Immortal Soul Spring.

Yuan Shan did not urge her, just calmly stared at Tang Yue’er.

"Thump!"

Suddenly, Tang Yue’er knelt on both knees, kowtowed three times to Yuan Shan, and said sincerely, "Master above, please accept your student’s bow!"

"Hahaha..."

Yuan Shan was overjoyed, laughing heartily as he hurriedly helped Tang Yue’er up, saying joyfully, "Very well! From now on, you are my student, Yuan Shan. Whoever dares to bully you, is disrespecting me; your teacher will stand up for you!"

He was genuinely happy. With a flip of his hand, a dagger emitting a faint light appeared in his hand.

"Yue’er, this is a treasure I found in a half-Saint secret realm years ago. It contains a trace of the half-Saint’s intent. Although extremely rare, it will greatly benefit your cultivation."

Yuan Shan handed over the short dagger, smiling as he said, "This short dagger is now yours."

Above the Sovereign Realm is the Saint Realm, and the practitioners of the Saint Realm are referred to as Saints. The half-Saints mentioned by Yuan Shan are far beyond the experts of the Pinnacle of the Emperor Realm but are slightly inferior to those in the Saint Realm.

Even within the Ancient Martial World, half-Saints are legendary beings, likely only existing in the Upper Three Sects. As for practitioners of the God Realm, they are only found in legends.

Now, Yuan Shan was giving away a dagger containing a trace of half-Saint’s intent, showing how much he truly cared for his newly accepted student.

Tang Yue’er was shocked and immediately shook her head, saying, "Teacher, this dagger is too precious. I cannot accept it."

Yuan Shan deliberately frowned, showing displeasure and said, "Do you not truly recognize me as your teacher from the bottom of your heart?"

"No, no, no!"

Tang Yue’er hurriedly waved her hands, her face full of anxiety as she said, "Since I chose to acknowledge you as my teacher, it means I truly recognize you as my teacher from the bottom of my heart. It’s just that this dagger is too precious; I cannot accept it!"

Saying she truly recognizes this casual teacher might seem insincere, but her reason for refusing the dagger was genuinely because it was too precious.

A dagger containing half-Saint’s intent, even in the Ancient Martial World, would surely be extremely valuable, right?

Although she had never been to the Ancient Martial World, she knew enough about it to understand that any treasure associated with a half-Saint must be top-notch.

"Just keep it!"

Yuan Shan firmly placed the short dagger in Tang Yue’er’s hands, his expression serious as he said, "No matter how precious, it’s a waste if it’s not utilized."

"I see that you possess Celestial Yin Energy, and the intent contained within this dagger perfectly matches your special constitution, making this the most suitable weapon for you."

Tang Yue’er was moved, her eyes brimming with tears. She could feel that Yuan Shan truly treated her as his student.

The key was, Yuan Shan stood to gain nothing from her but was still willing to give away such a precious dagger.

Tang Yue’er looked down silently for a while before lifting her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she said with a choked voice, "Teacher, thank you!"

Then, she bowed deeply before respectfully receiving the short dagger with both hands.

"Ha ha, good!"

Yuan Shan smiled and said, "After obtaining this dagger, it has always been kept in my Storage Ring. Today, it has finally found its purpose."

When Tang Yue’er grabbed the dagger, it felt like holding a block of ice, but it wasn’t uncomfortable at all, instead, there was a refreshing feeling throughout her body.

She hurriedly circulated her Cultivation Technique, and immediately a chill surged from the dagger into her body.

Tang Yue’er was startled. The chill that entered her body was just like her own Celestial Yin Energy, freely circulating within her.

Yuan Shan smiled and asked, "Didn’t I tell you? Isn’t this dagger extremely suitable for you?"

Tang Yue’er nodded repeatedly, saying in amazement, "I feel like when I hold this dagger, it seems to become a part of my body."

"Ha ha, indeed!"

Yuan Shan was very pleased and said with a smile, "It seems that the previous owner of this dagger was also a strong person possessing the Celestial Yin Meridian."

"This dagger doesn’t have a name yet, you name it!"

Tang Yue’er nodded, looking at the dagger in her hand, the more she looked, the more she liked it.

The dagger shimmered with a silver-blue light, emanating a bone-chilling coldness upon touch.

The blade of the dagger, under the sunlight, refracted many fine specks of light, looking very beautiful.

The hilt was wrapped with very exquisite white binding, and the end was inlaid with a magical bead full of frost cracks. The cold feeling upon touch seemed to be emanating from this bead.

Looking at the dagger which resembled a crescent moon, Tang Yue’er said with a smile, "Let’s call it Cold Moon!"

Yuan Shan smiled and said, "A fine name for a crescent moon!"

After speaking, he took out an exquisite Jade Bottle, handed it to Tang Yue’er, and said, "Teacher should go back now, it’s up to you to pass the Immortal Soul Spring to that young man on behalf of me."

Tang Yue’er’s face lit up with joy, and after receiving the Jade Bottle, she said gratefully, "Thank you, teacher!"

Yuan Shan waved his hand and then said, "I know that although you accepted me as your teacher, it was also for the Immortal Soul Spring."

Tang Yue’er was just about to explain when Yuan Shan didn’t give her a chance to speak, and sincerely said, "Teacher won’t make it difficult for you, I’ll give you another month to think it over. If you decide, you can find me anytime with the token I gave you earlier. If you change your mind, that’s fine too."

Suddenly, Tang Yue’er’s eyes reddened. Since she was healed by Qin Chuan, beside her grandfather, Qin Chuan was the kindest person to her, followed by this elderly man she had known for just over an hour.

"Teacher, indeed I sought you as my teacher initially for the Immortal Soul Spring, but from the moment you gave me Cold Moon, I truly felt that you accepted me as your student. From that moment, I truly acknowledged you as my teacher."

Tang Yue’er said sincerely.

"Ha ha, good! Teacher indeed was not wrong about you!"

Yuan Shan was a bit disappointed when he heard the first part of Tang Yue’er’s statement, but was greatly relieved by what she said afterward.

"Teacher promises you, within three years, I’ll ensure you reach the Emperor Realm!"

Yuan Shan said seriously, then added, "I have to leave now, you have one month to sort out your matters in the Secular World, then the teacher will personally come to find you!"

Having said that, he turned around and left. Tang Yue’er tightly grasped Cold Moon, watching Yuan Shan walk away.

"Pu!"

Just as Yuan Shan stepped out of the villa’s gate, his pace suddenly halted, and a sword drenched in blood pierced through Yuan Shan’s back.
