I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

“Slick,” the old man laughed heartily, looking to Lin Xiawei, who was dining beside him, “What do you think about your little junior brother’s slickness?”

“Junior brother?” Pei Jinye asked cautiously, “May I ask who my master is?”

“Didn’t I tell you about taking you as a disciple?” the old man countered.

“No,” Pei Jinye replied innocently, “Senior, is this sort of thing really taken so casually?”

“We act on natural instincts, not like those blockheads at the Judgement Place. Taking disciples is all about fate. When fate arrives, we are master and disciple,” the elder stated candidly.

Pei Jinye lowered his gaze, muttering to himself.

“Senior may not know, but I’m currently part of the Investigation Team and have no plans to leave Da Peng City in the near future.”

“Small issue,” the old man said relaxedly.

“I’m of the Psychic Class.”

“I know, your senior sister is too. I don’t choose disciples based on talent, only fate.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye turned to look at Lin Xiawei, his team leader in name, who was currently focused on her meal.

“May I ask, senior, what rank you are?”

“I haven’t been tested,” the elder shook his head, “According to your current ranking system, I’ve taken down Third and Fourth Rank, but haven’t encountered any of those Fifth Rank old monsters yet.”

Pei Jinye was startled inside, “You’re not joking, senior?”

The elder wasn’t offended, only murmured softly, “Da Peng City is too small, it wouldn’t hurt you to travel more.”

Pei Jinye suppressed the shock in his heart, inhaling deeply, “What do you expect from me, senior?”

Upon hearing this, the old man smiled heartily.

He wasn’t in a hurry to answer.

Instead, he put a fresh slice of fatty beef into the hot pot.

“Just go with the flow like this,” I’ll provide the conditions, you grow on your own, don’t worry about any master-disciple grievances.”

Moments later, he scooped up the fatty beef, dipped it in sauce, twirled it, and popped it in his mouth.

After savoring the taste on his taste buds for a while, he spoke contentedly, “In this world, fate is the hardest thing to escape. If fate brings us together, then I come looking, it’s as simple as that.”

This old man spoke as if he was preaching the ways of the gods.

Frankly, Pei Jinye was reluctant to get close, always feeling he might get caught in some whirlpool.

However, having a powerful backer could mean more advantages than disadvantages in the future.

But what he cared about was…

This old man wasn’t in cahoots with that guy from the Bronze Association, was he?

“Have you heard of Chang Youlong, senior?”

“Don’t know him,” the elder replied nonchalantly, popping the last slice of fatty beef into his mouth, and after chewing for a moment, continued slowly, “Over the next few days, follow your senior sister to temper your blood energy. When you’re free, come out with me. It’s about time to present gifts to those old friends, getting one or two Sealing Objects should be no problem.”

“Master, I acknowledge you,”

Pei Jinye acknowledged him readily.

The old man chuckled and shook his head, looking at Lin Xiawei, “This young man is quite astute. Take him with you more often.”

“Yes, Master.”

…

“I don’t have many disciples, including you I now have five…”

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Lin Xiawei had returned to the Investigation Team, and Pei Jinye accompanied his newly acknowledged master, strolling slowly down the street.

“Your senior sister Lin Xiawei isn’t going to stay long in Da Peng City this time…”

While speaking, the little old man in the blue robe couldn’t help but chuckle, “Who would’ve thought that such a small place could cause the Judgement Place to lose their elites time and again? Isn’t it interesting?”

Pei Jinye responded with a look of naivety.

The little old man in the blue robe withdrew his gaze, handing over a string of Jade Pearls, “You should wear this bracelet for now.”

Pei Jinye accepted it with a puzzled look.

Filled with interest, the little old man said, “Although I have no idea what happened between you and that sword from the Jiang family, but since it left a Mark on you, just leave it to fate; it might not necessarily be a bad thing.”

Pei Jinye felt a twinge of apprehension, “You knew about this?”

“Not only me, others can see it too,” the little old man in the blue robe clicked his tongue, “You’re trying to get rich quietly, aren’t you?”

Pei Jinye forced a laugh.

He suddenly remembered his conversation with the Faceless elder, who also seemed to have “seen” it.

But back then, his connection with Shenxiao wasn’t that extensive… Perhaps the other party didn’t expect him to establish a direct connection with Shenxiao so quickly.

At this thought, Pei Jinye felt somewhat helpless.

In front of those powerhouses, he probably really was like someone without clothes on.

He was also glad he hadn’t agreed to Mr. Han’s suggestion to go to the big city.

Otherwise, he might have been “seen” through completely.

And if the matter of him being a Multi-system Transcendent came to light, probably the old Priests of the Western Continent would dig themselves out of their graves one after another.

“This bracelet can suppress the Mark that sword has left on you… Do you know what you look like now? To those Sword Cultivator Strongmen, you’re like a bright lantern in the dark night, somewhat provocative.”

At these words, Pei Jinye was at a loss, “…”

The little old man in the blue robe was amused by his expression, “Looks like you have no idea.”

“Indeed, I don’t know anything,” Pei Jinye said helplessly.

“Hahahaha.” On the street, the little old man in the blue robe burst into hearty laughter, “That sword has been sealed away for too long and probably wants to fight a great battle with someone. If you hadn’t met me, who knows, maybe one day those maniacs from the North Continent would have found you and cut you down… Back then, Jiang Yijian and those maniacs were sworn enemies.”
