Novel Bin Chapter 533 - Honorary Elder Offer
The Branch Master was glad that Adam was seeking his permission to go to the private recovery room that Su Lan was in and was pleased that he was showing respect.
However, Adam just didn\'t want to cause trouble, knowing the sheer number of guards and members that they had around the branch, and that it was forbidden to move around the compound without being escorted by one of their members.
They made their way there in silence, with Adam walking slightly behind him, needing to highlight the dominance of the Branch Master. Despite the Branch Master being quite a kind and friendly individual, he needed to maintain the powerful and respected image that he had.
All so that he could maintain order in the branch of the Martial Arts Union that he oversaw.
Entering the private recovery room, thankfully Su Lan had put on the clothes that Adam had left there for her, and the Branch Master couldn\'t help but be amazed by the state that her body was in.
Not only had she completely recovered all the energy that her body had lost from the over-exhaustion, but her body was on an entirely different level than before.
Even with her not unleashing her aura and suppressing her power, it was evident just how much she had improved and it was unbelievable.
If Adam\'s previous diagnosis truly was correct, then he had healed and solved the problem that had caused her weak and frail constitution, and also helped her breakthrough just like he said he would.
After holding back her Internal Cultivation for so long and the reformatting of her body, she was starving for energy and Adam supplied her with much more than she could have ever dreamed of storing at once.
Both through pills and his own energy reserves.
Helping her to experience a massive leap in power and now even the Branch Master saw her as a threat, with her sword energy and incredible skill.
Just how was it possible for a mere early Advanced Cultivator to achieve such results and help someone so much?
It was miraculous and unheard of.
"Did you really do this?" he uttered in sheer amazement.
Adam didn\'t bother answering and walked over to Su Lan before placing his hand on the centre of her chest.
At first, she was tense and quite defensive, but she relaxed and didn\'t bother resisting, and it wasn\'t like he had any bad intentions towards her.
As soon as his palm connected with her chest, she felt an unusual sensation that spread throughout her body in an instant and made her feel as though her entire body had been scanned.
The Branch Master was surprised that the cold beauty Su Lan was allowing a man to touch her so close to her breast without reacting or resisting, but was still more amazed by Adam\'s capabilities and identity.
There was an unusual sense of familiarity that he felt towards him, but he just couldn\'t explain where it came from or how they were connected.
And, besides that, how could he not be interested in Adam, who as a mere early Advanced Cultivator had won the tournament in an incredible fashion.
"You have stabilised your cultivation quickly and have managed to integrate your slivers of sword energy with your Internal Energy. But I would still recommend you to focus on training your body and learning to harmonise your Physical Cultivations," he stated as he moved his hand away from her.
The Branch Master was impressed once again, while compared to what Su Lan had experienced Adam do for her before, it wasn\'t anything amazing as she thanked him graciously.
"Also, you will be taking part in the National Martial Arts Union Youth Tournament, so prepare yourself for it," he added.
"What? Wasn\'t I eliminated?" she asked, confused.
"Yes, you aren\'t the winner of the regional tournament, but after Liao Wei requested it, I allowed you and one other participant to make it to the National Tournament," the Branch Master explained.
Su Lan was shocked and overjoyed, despite her expression barely changing. And all she was thinking about was how she was going to repay Adam for everything he did for her.
"Also Liao Wei, would you be willing to join the Martial Arts Union as an honorary elder, which would give you power and influence within the union on par with me, or even greater?" the Branch Master offered.
"Although I can\'t personally grant you that position, you will be given a yellow or even green amulet, and I am sure with your medical knowledge and skills you will definitely be offered the position by some of my seniors if I request it," he continued.
"Amulets that are granted by the Martial Arts Union can be used to instruct those in the union of lower status, influence and power. The stronger and more valued one is in the union, the higher grade amulet they are given," he explained.
"And what are the amulet grades?" Adam asked, remembering that the amulet the powerful old man had given him was blue.
"Yes, your average member will have a red amulet. Then more senior members that can be in charge of a small group or have more responsibility and power have orange amulets. Then it goes yellow, green, blue and violet, with the power and influence of an individual increasing with each grade," he answered.
"Blue grade amulets are only given to senior elders, and purple amulets are only known to be held by great elders that never really show themselves. And it is said that there is also a golden amulet, that has ultimate power in the Martial Arts Union, but no one has really seen it or come across it," he added.
"So with a yellow or green amulet, you would be very highly regarded and you would also get to meet a very senior figure within the martial arts union, as only someone at least two grades above you can issue you a certain grade of amulet."
The Branch Master was offering something great to Adam and Su Lan definitely would have accepted it if she was in Adam\'s position, but he merely shook his head.
