Jiang Fugui narrowed his eyes. "There should be one more thing."
Li Gang sweated but still took out the token. "He gifted this Token to me. I thought it was his inheritance to me, since I didn't chose any of his techniques."
Jiang Fugui was surprised. "You mean he only gave this token to you and not any Secret Techniques?"
Li Gang said pitifully. "He saw my low talent, and didn't give me any Secret Techniques, but this token to protect my life. In fact, I also won million spirit stone in the inheritance, and used all of them to fill up this token."
Jiang Fugui looked at the token and nodded. 'This token does have sufficient energy.'
Jiang Fugui looked at Li Gang and replied. "This token is meant for Holy Son of our Sword Gate. Our sect declined after ancestor left. It was attacked by Harmony Fang Sect, but under the previous Sect leader, it has started rising again. But, the safety of Holy Son has faced issues. This token was meant to be a protection to the Holy Son."
He paused and said again. "I can give you a chance. If you can defeat Holy Son within 50 years, you can replace the position of Holy Son and have this token in your possession."
Li Gang looked at Jiang Fugui and asked. "What is the cultivation of Holy son and his age?"
Jiang Fugui replied. "He is son of great elder and his name is Ji Shenlong. He is only 170 years old and has already reached Rank 6 late stage Warrior, and his soul cultivation has reached Rank 6 peak stage. He is also able to defeat enemies at Rank 6 peak stage!"
Li Gang sucked a cold breath. He said. "How about this, you let me have this token for 10 years, and I will defeat the Holy Son in ten years. If I couldn't do that, then you can take it back."
Jiang Fugui looked at him deeply and asked. "What would happen if you escaped with this token?"
Li Gang said. "You have already marked me, and you are still asking what would happen?"
Jiang Fugui looked at him and laughed loudly. "This is the first time I have seen such a daring person. Despite your low talent, your confidence in incredible. Since you know I marked you, then you should also be aware, I can also see what you are doing even if you left to another continent through that mark. Not only that, I can also sense the presence of token, no matter where you hide it."
Li Gang nodded. "I knew it a long time ago."
Jiang Fugui looked at Li Gang deeply and said. "Fine, I will give you this chance. You will be outer disciple of the Sect, and you have to become holy son within 10 years. I don't care how you use this token, but don't try anything funny."
Li Gang smiled. "Okay. But, I wanted to ask, is there a way to improve my Cultivation talent? You already know my talent is low and I don't even have Spiritual Imprint."
Jiang Fugui replied. "Talent is nothing but compatibility between body and soul. There has been an Emperor born long time ago. He was known as Soul Emperor, and was the third Sect Leader of Ethereal Sect. He possessed a unique Spiritual Imprint with attribute of Soul. With the help of his Spiritual Imprint, he made a technique that could improve the compatibility between soul and body. But, one needs to pay heavy price to use this technique. This is a core technique of Ethereal Sect and is not easy to obtain."
Li Gang immediately said. "Have you been there? And how is the relation between Ethereal Sect and Sword Gate?"
Jiang Fugui said. "It seems you want my memory of that location. I can share it with you, but give me one reason why I should help you?"
Li Gang looked at Jiang Fugui deeply and said. "An incomplete Rank 9 Cultivation technique."
Jiang Fugui narrowed his eyes. "Deal."
Li Gang added. "I also want a recommendation letter to enter Ethereal Sect."
Jiang Fugui said. "Stay here for a year. Next year, they will conduct Entrance Exam, and many people from all over the continent will go and take the exam to enter their sect. Only those below the age of 50 can participate."
Li Gang nodded.
Jiang Fugui gave him a talisman and said. "Take this recording talisman, it has my memory of Ethereal Peak Territory."

Ji Shentian looked at Jiang Fugui and asked. "Why did you made transaction? You could have taken it forcefully?"
Jiang Fugui smiled. "His talent and luck. With just Rank 5 Soul, he is able to deduce White is winning from one glance. With Rank 3 Cultivation, he is able to escape Rank 7 Warriors. With just D grade talent, he is able to cultivate till Rank 3 early stage within 20 years of age. This is not something an ordinary person can do. I want to see, if he is truly capable of achieving what he said. Our Sword Gate lack such talents, and this is just investing over him. We are not loosing anything anyway."
Ji Shentian said. "Even though he has such a high talent, I think it is better to groom him here itself, than letting him join Ethereal Sect. He might ask some high level leaders to get the mark removed."
Jiang Fugui laughed. "It is not easy for anyone to remove mark made by me. Only Rank 8 late stage or peak stage can do this and it is not easy to meet such a person. And don't forget, we can also trace him through that token. As for grooming him here, his talent is too low. It is better to see if he could get his hands on that Technique."
Ji Shentian immediately reacted as if he understood. "Your intention is to..."
Jiang Fugui nodded. "Yes, my main intention of letting him go to Ethereal Sect is to use him to get that technique that enhances talent. Our sect lacks talented individuals."
As he said that, Jiang Fugui's eyes turned sharp.
Ji Shentian looked at him and asked. "Why do you trust him? It is also possible that he lied. It is impossible for him to escape from Rank 7 Warriors."
Ji Fugui laughed. "I didn't trust him. I was observing his every expression. He is too young to lie cleanly, and even his heart rate didn't change when he said those. I can understand how he escaped. Most likely, one of the Rank 7 Warrior marked him, and then he stopped other Rank 7 Warriors from harming him. He wanted to trace him later on, but he failed somehow."

Celestial Peak Domain, Celestial Sect
A middle aged man was standing with his hand behind his back. He is Ji Hongtian, father of Ji Changchen.
He looked at Ji Changchen and asked. "Who did this?"
A half step Rank 9 aura was revealed making everyone feel awe.
In front of him Ji Changchen was lying without any ear and one of the eyes blinded. A rank 8 Warrior was healing him. And within a few moments, he was completely healed.
Ji Hongtian was very angry at this time.
Liang Shuiyun was sweating. He said. "Patriarch, his name is Li Gang, a Rank 3 Warrior. You asked me not to interfere in the battle with lesser cultivation Warriors, so I didn't do anything, but he sneaked attack on young master and caught him and threatened his life. I had no option but comply to his requests."
Ji Hongtian asked in a low voice. "You were threatened by a Rank 3 Warrior?"
Liang Shuiyun knelt immediately and replied. "Forgive me Sect lord, but he said his Spiritual Imprint could directly attack his soul, and I had no other option. I didn't want to take any risk regarding young master's safety."
Ji Hongtian narrowed his eyes. "And he asked you to give him Heavenly Lotus?"
Liang Shuiyun accepted his mistake. "It was my fault, my mind turned blank when he harmed young master, and I couldn't think anything. Please forgive me patriarch."
He kowtowed continuously.
Ji Hongtian asked. "Do you know where he is now?"
Liang Shuiyun replied. "I had marked him, but somehow the mark disappeared few moments earlier."
Ji Hongtian said in a certain direction. "Send him to Abyssal Sanctum for 6 months."
Everyone sucked in cold breath. Liang Shuiyun was terrified but he knows this is the best outcome.
Abyssal Sanctum is forbidden region of Celestial Sect, where all the wrong doers are punished. It is said that even Rank 8s can't come unscathed from there.
Ji Changchen has already woken up and touched his eyes and ears. Everything was fine. He murmured inwardly.
'System, are you there?'
Ding! Returning to the host, System has awakened
Ji Changchen sighed in relief. He said within his mind. 'Tell me what happened? Why did you suddenly left? And why did you judge him dangerous?'
Ding! Reply to the host, there was sudden spy of Heavenly Dao. This system is the enemy of heaven, and thus it targets heaven's chosen. System is currently too weak. It is requested to the host to collect more destiny points and update the system to next level so that it can become stronger.
Ji Changchen asked. 'What about him? Why did you consider him dangerous? Tell me.'
Ding! The system had analyzed the cause and effect from his body. The host has been warned that there might be the possibility of presence of a trace of Heavenly Dao in him. Only after analyzing his cause and effect did the Heavenly Dao started spying.
Ji Changchen heart turned cold. 'It seems this is why system couldn't see through him. I want him dead. System tell me all his information.'
Ding! System can't calculate anything related to Heavenly Dao, or it's existence can be detected. Reply to the host, don't try to find information of this person through System, last time System's existence was almost discovered because it deduced his identity. It is requested to increase your Destiny Value and then upgrade the System. Then this System would be able to resist Heavenly Dao to a certain level.
Ji Changchen murmured inwardly. 'No wonder Heavenly Dao suddenly spied on System's existence. That guy is a walking Heaven.'
He glanced at his father.
Ji Hongtian frowned. 'Finding such a person with just a name is difficult even for me. I can't utilize all combat powers just for this, or those wolves might take advantage of the situation.'
Ji Changchen saw his difficulty and said. "Don't worry father, you just send few people to search for him in Verdant Forest Territory and Silver Frost Province. I think he must be present in one of those."
Ji Hongtian knows this, in fact he has already sent some of the Warriors.
