The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 11: Master Han Yie

NOT EDITED

....

Zemin Yan looked at the mature man with a black beard and black hair, his brown eyes were dark, almost black, his eyebrows were also dark and thick, he had a general's face and was not at all refined.

Of course, Zemin Yan felt the sharp aura emanating from the man's body, which was different from the gentle aura of Hong Yu, but it was not as fierce as the aura of the other Aurore Core disciple who was along with Hong Yu.

The other children watched with apprehension the appearance of this man with sharp aura, clearly observing the meek and submissive behavior of Hong Yu, they might note that this mature man was indeed a powerful and high-ranking specialist of the Celestial Sword sect.

"Hong Yu, take the other children to the second test. Zemin Yan, you will not have to do the rest of the tests, "said Elder Han in a very calm tone, there was no excitement on his face and no shrewd brilliance.

Yes, this is Elder Han, also known as Han Yie and who bears the title of 100-blade Sword Cultivator, who is in charge of the entourage he performs while conducting the recruitment test in village 10.

Hong Yu was surprised at the attitude of Elder Han, but as he was his pupil and also a subordinate, he did not ask and showed no emotion in his face, just nodded and brought the other children to the second test. Later he could ask his Master the reason for this sudden decision.

Young Master Hong looked deeply at Zemin Yan, there was a sinister glow in Hong Yu's gaze, but there was also curiosity and even a little desire in the clear eyes of this young disciple Aurore Core.

Zemin Yan felt Hong Yu's gaze on his body, his heart racing even faster and he felt a sense of danger as if someone wanted to harm him. However, when he looked back at Hong Yu, Hong Yu's clear eyes were as calm and gentle as ever.

"Am I being too sensitive?!" thought Zemin Yan, still feeling the feeling of fear and danger around him.

When Hong Yu and the 9 children disappeared from the sight of Zemin Yan, he felt nervous and apprehensive in his heart, although the dangerous feeling had disappeared. His plan to be an unnoticed person was not going well, now there was a big boss in front of him and his future seemed uncertain.

"Do not be nervous, I did not come to do you any harm. The test will still be carried out, but you are not on the same level as these children, "said Elder Han, watching with an amused look at the inexpressive Zemin Yan.

"I understand" Zemin Yan sighed resignedly, at least the Elder before his eyes will not do any dirty trick or will take him to become a very large character.

"My sect of the Celestial Sword, besides the base of our disciples being directed to the path of the sword, we also have other fields of study, after all, a great sect has to have many resources to be able to grow" said Elder Han calmly, Zemin Yan's expression change slightly, there was a peculiar gleam in the eyes of this little child.

"We have several areas within the sect, such as alchemy, medicine, blacksmiths, crafters, among others. Generally, only, the inner disciples who are already in the kingdom of the foundation can make a second test within the sect to determine what area beyond the sword they must follow. Of course, there is also first-rate combatant area and high-level swordmaster as a field of study and military sect force, but only the best can enter this area, "explained Elder Han, while taking something out of his space ring, a small black cauldron.

Then, Elder Han threw the little black cauldron into the air and this object expanded to reach the height of 1.5 meters and 3 meters wide, which was absolutely taller than 10 year old Zemin Yan.

"You have the sacred element as your main element, so you can master all the other elements, except for the demonic element or the Asura aura. So I assume that in addition to being very lucky, you must have obtained some breathing technique that should be on the level of Legendary Techniques. I can only imagine that you should be with in almost all areas of performance "said Elder Han with a sharp look at Zemin Yan, who still remained expressionless.

"How does he know that? Can he see through my disguise? But this bizarre item comes from the era of the martial emperors! Impossible! "Thought Zemin Yan with his heart full of doubts and discomfort.

"In this test you should read this recipe and try to make a pill," said Elder Han, handing out a piece of paper containing the ingredients and steps needed to complete the Spirit-Revealing Pill. This is a pill used when interrogating suspects of crimes and spies, when one does not excepto a soul search, mainly, that this pill leaves no trace and does not damage the soul, thus, one can investigate without alerting the enemy.

This is a very difficult pill and much sought after by the great sects, sects of high-grade and medium degree, even the Devils look avidly for these pills. The pills have an effect of 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the quality of each pill.

After handing over the recipe to Zemin Yan, the Elder Han drew various ingredients, such as plants and fruits, like herbs that looked precious and even some bizarre minerals.

For Zemin Yan's surprise, he recognized all the ingredients that Elder Han took out of his storage ring. Zemin Yan even had many of these ingredients in his own copper ring.

"I do not know how to read," Zemin Yan said when he looked at the recipe, he was not lying, he had not learned to read correctly, only the basics, but the writing of that alchemical formula was in a very fancy and formal language.

"Alright, I have a jade disk here with the formula," said Elder Han, who for a moment looked at Zemin Yan in surprise. He did not imagine that this child who had the rare sacred element in his body was someone illiterate, but after some thought he understood why Zemin Yan had no formal education.

Elder Han passed the jade disk to Zemin Yan, after a few minutes the child returned the disk to the bearded man. Zemin Yan felt his heart pound with anxiety, for he had seen this formula before, the alchemical formula was on a jade disk that represented the knowledge of his father or some ancestor of him, this Zemin Yan was not sure, but he knew that this formula was not common.

"Elder ..." Zemin Yan tried to say something hesitantly, he did not want to take this pill, because he felt that if he took this pill he would be regarded as a monster and would draw unwanted attention from powerful people.

"So you recognized this pill formula," said Elder Han with a complicated look, there was a trace of joy and at the same time sadness, even a little longing in his dark eyes.

"I ..." Zemin Yan tried again to show a confused look to the Elder Han, but Han Yie laughed at that look that pretended to be unfortunate.

"You're just like your father when you act like this!" Said Elder Han visibly with a very cheerful mood, he was even smiling!

Zemin Yan, for the first time, showed a surprised look and a shocked expression to Elder Han.
