After some further haggling, Kong Xiang finally took on the task of grinding away the dao rune protection on the scroll.
The grin on Kong Xiang's face as he started clearly showed that Master Zhang was ripped big time.
Kong Xiang sat down in a mediative pose and used his Qi to unfurl the scroll. Immediately, he suffered from a backlash of the dao runes as blood started to seep out from his eyes. However, Kong Xiang spontaneously placed some of the Mel Verdant Paste on them and continued.
Slowly, the shine on the scroll lost its hue. In Kong Xiang's subconscious, he could see an image start to form.
Master Zhang was calmly watching on, anticipating something when Master Lin suddenly appeared beside him.
"Master's Dao Scroll, uhn?" Master Lin said, looking straight at his disciple.
"You knew?" Master Zhang asked. He did not seem surprised at all.
