Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 1536 - 1735: Who the Hell Do You Think You Are?

After Hao Jian opened the door, there were two people standing behind it. With a fixed gaze, Hao Jian immediately recognized their identities. One was Yu Jin, the Sect Master of the Taiyi Sect, and the other was Liu Sha, the Sect Master of the Luoyang Valley.
Upon seeing that it was Hao Jian who opened the door, Yu Jin and Liu Sha exchanged a smile and were then invited in by Hao Jian.
Ma Xiaopeng and Zhou Xiaoshan's expressions upon seeing Hao Jian were exactly the same—they were both in shock. They too had come at just the right time, calculating that Hao Jian would likely be awake by now, hence their visit.
Originally, they thought it would be someone else opening the door, as Hao Jian should have been lying in bed at this moment. Unexpectedly, it was Hao Jian who opened the door, and he looked as if nothing had happened.
Goodness, such a large longsword pierced right through the whole body, yet after so much time, not a single thing was wrong.
This is absolutely unprecedented.
Initially, they had thought to recruit Hao Jian into their sects based on his performance in the ring. But now, they were determined to recruit him into their sects, as this kind of talent is crucial for the development of their sects.
Such talent is rare and must be captured when encountered.
Ma Xiaopeng, Zhou Xiaoshan, Yu Jin, and Liu Sha all had the same thought. Even if they couldn't get this talent themselves, they couldn't let the other side get him, so they must ensure he joins them.
Yu Jin and Liu Sha also sat down.
The room, originally empty, suddenly felt less spacious with four people filling it. Including Hao Jian, five people sat at the table, which was now crowded.
Of course, the atmosphere was most heavily filled with killing intent and resentment. The four of them eyed each other, not wanting to concede.
At this moment, Yu Jin said to Hao Jian, "Since Sect Master Ma and Sect Master Zhou have come before us, surely you know our intentions."
Hao Jian nodded without speaking.
Ma Xiaopeng then slammed the table and said, "Hmph! You know I was the first to come here. But everything has an order; since you came later, you're not qualified. So, you should leave. There's no chance for you anymore."
Liu Sha, who hadn't spoken yet, was displeased and said, "Hmph! What does order matter? Who do you think you are? These things should be determined by strength!"
If the Sect Master of Eight Trigrams City or Tianwang Fort, who have great strength, spoke to him like this, he might accept it. But who is Liu Sha? Just the Sect Master of Luoyang Valley, more or less on par with his Wuji Sect in terms of strength. It's not certain who's stronger.
Ma Xiaopeng retorted disdainfully at Liu Sha, "Hmph! On strength, who do you think you are!"
Yu Jin, possibly the most good-natured among them, quickly tried to mediate when he saw them arguing.
But Ma Xiaopeng and Liu Sha were already at each other's throats, almost ready to fight, and Yu Jin's mediation only made them argue more.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoshan, who hadn't spoken, said, "Stop arguing, all of you sect masters arguing like this! If your disciples knew, wouldn't you find it disgraceful? Where's your decorum?"
With these words, the argument between Ma Xiaopeng and Liu Sha finally ceased. They exchanged glares but didn't speak, both giving each other unpleasant looks and refusing to yield.
Zhou Xiaoshan said, "That's better. Since we are here to recruit talented individuals and want Hao Jian to join our sect, at least show some manners and stop bickering as soon as you arrive!"
Hao Jian watched silently from the side, observing that among these people, it was Zhou Xiaoshan who showed a bit of competence and calmness. As for Sect Master Ma of the Wuji Sect and Sect Master Liu of Luoyang Valley, they seemed to lack thoughtfulness and would act impulsively. As for Yu Jin, who was trying to mediate, he wasn't much either.
Hao Jian had already seen through all this from the side long ago.
Of course, he wasn't truly wasting time intending to join the Ancient Martial Arts Sect. Since they had finally arrived and Hao Jian had let them in to sit down, he naturally had his plans.
However, the time hadn't arrived yet for him to speak. When the right moment comes, they will have their roles to play.
As Hao Jian was contemplating his plan, there was a knock on the door, which then opened by itself. The visitor was Feng Shiyuan.
Since Hao Jian had many things for Feng Shiyuan to handle, he had given him the keys to his residence to avoid inconvenience. Thus, after knocking, Feng Shiyuan entered directly.
He was carrying a medicinal soup that Hao Jian had arranged to be brewed.
However, upon entering, he was stunned by the scene. As someone who sold information, he naturally knew who the four people sitting here were.
Sect Master Ma Xiaopeng of the Wuji Sect! Sect Master Zhou Xiaoshan of Dingjian Pavilion! Sect Master Yu Jin of the Taiyi Sect! Sect Master Liu Sha of Luoyang Valley!
Oh my goodness! Who are these people? Right now, they're all sitting here honestly, and most importantly, they're all sitting here together.
Feng Shiyuan found it a bit hard for his brain to accept this fact. These are truly big figures, people whom one can't even get close to, let alone contact, but now they're sitting right in front of him without any airs.
Feng Shiyuan was momentarily lost in thought.
Finally managing to regain his composure, he glanced at Hao Jian. The attitude these people had towards Hao Jian was completely different. Could it be that they all came because of Hao Jian?
It seemed there couldn't possibly be any other reason.
This is just too incredible! This was the only thought in Feng Shiyuan's mind right now. First, he was shocked by Hao Jian's wealth, then by his power, and now by this scene in front of him. Hao Jian kept refreshing his understanding and perception of him.
This... he had to admit he had to refresh his understanding of Hao Jian and his admiration for Hao Jian's mysterious identity.
Realizing he was a bit lost in thought, Feng Shiyuan came to his senses and quickly closed the door, then carried a bowl of medicinal soup to Hao Jian and said, "Young Master Hao, the medicine is ready!"
Unknowingly, he had changed the way he addressed Hao Jian, and it wasn't intentional—it just changed from within him.
Hao Jian nodded, then took the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one go before handing the bowl back to Feng Shiyuan.
Feng Shiyuan promptly took the medicinal soup and left the room.
Although he really wanted to stay, conversations between big figures have their own norms, leaving no room for an outsider to eavesdrop, so he tactfully exited and closed the door behind him.
Then, he went to handle the tasks Hao Jian assigned him.
At this moment, the four watched quietly and did not speak.
The one to break this silence was Zhou Xiaoshan, who noticed the bitter medicinal smell of what Hao Jian drank. It was then that he remembered Hao Jian was still a patient and recalled he had brought something along.
Zhou Xiaoshan broke the stalemate, took out a box from his body, placed it on the table, and handed it to Hao Jian, saying, "Knowing you were seriously injured on the arena, I specially prepared a top-grade Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng for you to heal."
Normally, Hao Jian wouldn't think much of such medicinal materials, just a Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng. At the Prophet's place, there are plenty of millennia-old ginsengs. A hundred-year-old one wouldn't even catch his eye.
But now it's different. He's seriously injured, and crucially, on this island, some things can't be bought even with money, so certain medicinal materials are very precious.
Previously, the medicinal ingredients he gave Feng Shiyuan were all very common, so Feng Shiyuan could easily gather them. But the prescription was given by You Yang, naturally with high costs, so even common medicines combined had significant medicinal effects, allowing his injuries to heal quickly.
But since someone brought him a Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng, he had no reason not to accept it, and it could help his wounds. Free stuff is better accepted than refused.
Hao Jian then accepted the top-grade Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng from Zhou Xiaoshan.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoshan said, "Of course, if you're willing to join our Dingjian Pavilion, you can use such materials as you please. We will take responsibility for your healing process, and you may act as you wish in the future. I promise no one but me will command or order you!"
Offering the medicinal materials was secondary; the words were the key.
First, they entice you with various temptations, and the last sentence has its special meaning. If you join our sect, you will have absolute authority and rights, but ultimately you have to listen to me. My position as Sect Master is unshakable, that's it.
You'll have absolute authority and benefits, but you must listen to me.
Hao Jian naturally understood these words and just smiled without speaking.
At this time, seeing Zhou Xiaoshan make a move, the others also took out the things they had prepared in advance and presented them to Hao Jian, all vying to be the first.
However, what they prepared was more or less the same. Knowing Hao Jian was severely injured and most needed medicinal materials, it was as if they had agreed in advance, preparing only medicinal materials.
But if it were other things, Hao Jian wouldn't have accepted them. But now being injured, with someone delivering precious medicinal materials, he had no reason not to accept them. So Hao Jian accepted all these materials, called Feng Shiyuan in, and prepared several new prescriptions for him to brew medicines based on the materials.
