Chapter 479: The Secret of 10,000 Years
Chen Rui knew that the two masters had kind intentions. This Tetenis obviously could be trusted, then only Skye and Xingxing revealed the trio-specialized master and other secrets. Their purpose was to let him get the inheritance from this quasi-grand master so that his alchemy could take a step forward.
Chen Rui thought for a while and said to Tetenis, "Master, I can learn from you, but I do have the reasons for not being able to leave the Dark Moon…"
"Wait until you have listened to my choices for you, then you make the decision." Tetenis looked serious, "You have 2 choices. Firstly, in the next few days, I can teach you knowledge including pharmaceutics and mechanics. Due to the limited time, I can only teach for 1 year at most. How much you can learn depends on your understanding. Secondly, you can accept a special inheritance imprint. As long as I die, you will directly get all the knowledge. This inheritance will allow you to see the road ahead in advance and avoid detours, but there is also a drawback. The experience of the predecessors is likely to form a certain fixed framework that will restrict your future development. Therefore, the most important thing is to transform them into knowledge that you can control. I must remind you that if you choose the second option, I will not only pass on my knowledge and memory, but a kind of destiny… It will let you face very terrifying opponents in the future, or you will also walk a path similar to mine… You must consider carefully."
Chen Rui heard that there seemed to be some hidden matters in between, and he asked,
Tetenis sighed, "Even if you don’t ask me this question, I will tell you. My life will be lost to someone else in the gambling agreement a year later! Once you choose the second way to accept the inheritance imprint, you will also become a party in a certain contract to continue this gambling game."
This answer was far beyond Chen Rui’s expectations. He asked, "What is the gambling game?"
Tetenis sighed, "It’s an alchemist’s 10,000 years gambling game. It involves secrets from more than 9,000 years ago. The content is a comprehensive test of mechanic skills and pharmaceutics. The opponent is the enemy of my lineage. Although the second method allows you to get all the inheritance without omission, you also have to bear greater responsibilities and risks. The gambling game is held once every 100 years with life as the bet. The loser immediately dies and the winner gets 100 years of life. My teacher lost his life in the hands of the opponent, and now I can’t escape this misfortune… If you accept my inheritance, including my guidance this year, the total is 101 years. During this period, you must use all methods to digest and absorb the inherited knowledge. You have to break through my original level by turning it into your own use. Only if you reach the real grand master level that it is possible to compete with the other party."
Chen Rui was really shocked this time. There is such a gambling game! With Tetenis’ proficiency in mechanics in all fields plus the standard of pharmaceutics quasi-grand master, he is still undoubtedly going to be defeated! The phrase "Only if you reach the real grand master level that it is possible to compete with the other party" shows that the other party is… a grand master level all-round mechanic and potioneer!
There is actually such a character in the Demon Realm! And the person has always been unknown!
The so-called trio-specialized genius master was not worth mentioning in front of the real grand master. Even Chen Rui, who had experienced the mental transformation at the Mountain Seckred back then, was a little depressed at this time, but he was not discouraged. There was an opportunity to go further now. However, he must make a choice.
"Master, do you mean that if you participate in the gambling game 1 year later, you will definitely lose?"
"I know my state very well. Let alone 1 year, even 10 years, I still can’t break through to the grand master realm. After 1 year, the winning rate of the gambling game is zero, and there is only one dead end. So I want to find an apprentice to pass on my knowledge. No matter which one you choose, you need to devote yourself to learning. That is why I suggested you leave the Dark Moon."
Chen Rui finally understood, "Master, what is the origin of the other party? What is with the gambling agreement?"
