Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 287 - 159: Red Flame Ancestor - Xu Guang

Xu Guang took a step forward. The occupational instinct of a Feng Shui Master made his eyes akin to the most precise ruler in the world. He frowned, "From the gap of the third brick to here, the wall, raise it by three inches. The houses over there, dig a pool. The courtyard wall of the garden over there, raise it by two yards!"

The middle-aged man was a bit astonished; he’d never seen such peculiar construction requirements.

However, thinking of the methods of the elderly man before him, he nodded eagerly to comply.

Eight hundred acres of land, a hundred of which was a training yard, while the rest were for Ah Wei’s fruit trees. Ah Wei’s physique was too conspicuous, and he didn’t want outsiders to see him.

"Who is the number one expert in Chiyao County?"

The middle-aged man’s expression froze. He was just a small leader managing a team of builders for a small faction on the outskirts of the city. How would he know such things?

Yet, he didn’t dare go against Xu Guang’s words, so he forced himself to respond.

"The city is full of experts, Master Mo of the Mo Family counts as one. He is an Innate Expert, capable of shattering a massive stone with a single punch, unrivaled in the city.

Hu Yingxiong of the Hu Family can also be considered one; he is young, having trained early on in the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, also an Innate Expert.

Then there’s Third Young Master of the Cao Family; his wife hails from the Guanghan Hall, her cultivation is unfathomable. It’s rumored that even among the mythical Innate, she’s extraordinary..."

He listed one by one the expert formations from the five families in the city and the sole existing Red Flame Sect, feeling extremely parched.

Xu Guang felt somewhat bored listening.

Openly, the highest level is Innate, meaning even with hidden power, it would at most be Fifth Grade.

If that’s the case...

But this small place is truly shallow with plenty of mediocre figures, with innumerable ties to Yongzhou’s Ten Thousand Laws Sect and Guanghan Hall.

Xu Guang chuckled lightly.

"Do you think if I were to become the number one expert in Chiyao County, I could recruit disciples? Including the younger generations from those families?"

The middle-aged man gaped.

"This..."

"You want to take on disciples and teach martial arts?"

Xu Guang initially didn’t want to answer, but moved by a thought, he whispered.

"Roaming Jianghu for decades, at death’s door, I wish to return to my roots, repay my origins, and find some heirs for my martial arts."

"Are you a native of Chiyao County?"

Xu Guang smiled without speaking; he needed a reason.

Coupled with his current appearance of old age, this reason seemed perfect.

A look of admiration appeared on the middle-aged man’s face, "What about your fee...?"

"If it’s repayment, what’s the point of charging? However, my training will be quite harsh."

"Harsh is good! Without enduring the hardest hardships, how can one stand atop others? Your perseverance at this age is admirable, admirable!"

After the middle-aged man said this fawningly, he quietly asked, "Old sir, what do you think of my aptitude?"

"..."

...

Three days later.

A small rumor arose in Chiyao County.

An elder from Chiyao County had returned from afar, wishing to take on disciples and impart a lifetime of supreme martial skills before dying, and had opened a martial school outside the city, where children of the right age could enroll at no cost.

At the same time, the elder openly claimed that if anyone dared to obstruct his disciple recruitment, they would face permanent estrangement.

Perceptive individuals quickly saw this as a challenge from the elder to the several major families in the city and the Red Flame Sect.

Especially the Red Flame Sect, where familial ties are maintained by blood, while the Sect is sustained by the bond between master and disciple. The elder recruiting all the city’s suitable children posed a real threat to the Red Flame Sect.

The major families tacitly maintained silence, while the Crimson Flame Sect Leader directly issued a challenge to learn from the elder’s expertise!

On the bustling streets of Chiyao County, a palanquin carried by eight walked slowly through.

Seeing the embroidered ’Xu’ character above it, the crowd instantly dispersed, clearing the way.

"Mr. Xu has entered the city!"

"Is it because of the Crimson Flame Sect Leader’s provocation!?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"It must be! If he defeats the Crimson Flame Sect Leader, won’t the elder be the number one expert in Chiyao County?"

"Of course!"

Hence, a young fellow followed behind the palanquin, eagerly shouting at it.

"Mr. Xu, when will you become the number one in Chiyao?"

Hearing the words from behind, Xu Guang lifted the curtain and looked at him.

"You are quite good, if interested in practicing martial arts, come to the Martial Manor outside the city."

...

To the great surprise of many forces in the city,

Mr. Xu’s duel with the Crimson Flame Sect Leader was unseen by anyone.

However, after Mr. Xu’s departure, the Crimson Flame Sect Leader directly announced that from that day onward, disciples of the Red Flame Sect should address Xu Guang as Founder!

This statement immediately set off a storm of public opinion across the city.

Mr. Xu was actually the Red Flame Ancestor!?

Then what is his cultivation!?

Above Innate?

The crowd could not help but form such speculation, terrified.

Everyone took a deep breath.

Within one day, the entire bustling Chiyao County cooled down a few degrees.

...

The next day, the Crimson Flame Sect Leader visited the five major families, kindly requesting that they send all their suitable offspring to be taught by the Ancestor.

"This is an immense opportunity, I can assure you, learning from the Ancestor is absolutely better than paying a high price to send them to the Ten Thousand Laws Sect or Guanghan Hall. If your disciples perform well, the Ancestor’s true skills might not be beyond impartation!"

"True skills!??? Does Brother Xu mean... the Ancestor is a Fifth-Grade Expert!?"

The Crimson Flame Sect Leader remained silent, sipping tea.

Allowing the heads of the various families to whisper among themselves.

"The opportunity is right in front of you, whether you can grasp it depends on you!"

...

Mo Family.

On the luxurious fluffy carpet, the room’s light was slightly dimmed, and the faint glow from the thousand-year-old jade cast an unusually distinct shadow of people.

Master Mo paced back and forth in the room, feeling anxious, "Red Flame Ancestor? Is it true? Is he truly opening the mountain gates to repay his origins? Or is it a façade, recruiting disciples falsely, to hold hostages truly, in an attempt to scheme Chiyao County?"
