Chapter 41: Accidental Apprenticeship

As soon as Han Lin entered the courtyard after sending Qi Lao away, he was suddenly grabbed by his clothes. Before he could react, he heard a young voice behind him say, "Please, please teach me to cultivate the truth."

"What, what?" Han Lin's body stiffened, and he subconsciously said, "What is Xiuzhen, why don't I know!"

But soon he reacted, there should be only one person here besides him, he looked back and found that it was indeed Ye Yuyao who caught him.

"Miss Yu Yao, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?" Han Lin looked at him left and right, not intending to admit it at all.

"I've seen it all!" Ye Yuyao lowered her head, pulled Han Lin with one hand, and pointed to the fourth grandmother's room with the other, and said sullenly. This is obviously saying that the little girl saw Han Lin's "ancestral craftsmanship" just now.

"I said, when I cast the spell just now, I felt like I was being watched......" Han Lin let out a drop of cold sweat.

But suddenly, he found that he seemed to ignore some questions: "Wait, isn't Ye Yuyao dumb?!"

Han Lin clearly remembered that Ye Zhen said that Ye Yuyao had become mute due to a fever, and when Han Lin met her before, she had indeed never spoken.

But the little girl in front of her spoke just now, although her voice was a little small, but she was very clear in her words, where was she unable to speak. Obviously, she just didn't want to talk in front of outsiders.

"It seems that this fourth lady's psychological problems are even more serious than I imagined!" Looking at this little girl who had been keeping her head down and didn't dare to look at him, Han Lin felt for the first time that this child, who seemed to be healthy and healthy, might be more "sick" than her mother.

Because the physical disease may have a special medicine to treat, but the wound in the heart can only be healed by time, after all, the bell still needs to be tied to the bell.

Although mental illness is difficult to treat, since Han Lin has found out, he will not ignore it.

So taking advantage of the opportunity that the little girl was willing to talk to him, Han Lin chatted with the little girl step by step.

"Miss Yuyao, what did you say you just saw?"

"Talisman, you're using a talisman," the little girl replied in a whisper.

"Sure enough!" Han Lin was even more sure that the little girl was indeed peeking nearby just now, but Han Lin still didn't want to admit it, so he diverted the topic.

"Miss Yuyao, do you know what Xiuzhen is?"

"I know, A-Niang told me before that cultivating truth is to become an immortal, and it will become very powerful!"

"Then can I ask, why do you want to cultivate the truth?"

After this sentence was asked, Ye Yuyao was speechless for a long time, and Han Lin did not urge, just quietly waiting for the little girl's answer.

After a long silence, the little girl finally spoke again: "If I tell you the reason, will you teach me to cultivate the truth?"

"Maybe," Han Lin gave an ambiguous answer. But this is actually an indirect recognition of his identity as a cultivator.

The little girl also obviously heard Han Lin's voice, so after thinking for a while, she finally made up her mind, and then raised her head to look at Han Lin and said, "I want to protect A-Niang"

Han Lin stared at the little girl with a flickering look and didn't give her any reply.

Looking at Han Lin's indifferent expression, Ye Yuyao knew that she had missed the only opportunity. But she didn't complain about Han Lin, because she lied herself, she really didn't just look for Han Lin for her mother, in her heart, there was actually a seed of hatred, which she couldn't avoid. And Han Lin obviously saw this, so he was silent for a long time.

"I'm sorry!" Ye Yuyao lowered her head again, apologized in a subtle voice, and then turned around and left directly.

She apologized for her deception of Han Lin, and at the same time, she also understood that such a self would not and did not deserve to be accepted by the immortals, so she was embarrassed to linger in front of Han Lin any longer.

But as soon as she took two steps, Han Lin stopped her: "Wait, I haven't spoken yet, where are you going?"

"You, have you agreed to take me as an apprentice?!" Ye Yuyao was very surprised.

"This is not necessarily, although I agreed, but whether or not I can successfully accept you as an apprentice depends on your qualifications, come with me!"

Originally, when she heard Han Lin say that it was not necessarily, Ye Yuyao was still a little disappointed, but Han Lin's words after that made her refresh. So when she heard that Han Lin asked her to follow, she immediately followed excitedly.

Under the leadership of Han Lin, they walked straight towards the room where the fourth grandmother was. When she saw Han Lin walking into the house, Ye Yuyao was still a little hesitant, because her mother had said that she would not be allowed to enter the house.

Han Lin quickly found Ye Yuyao, so he took out a simple mask he made himself from his arms and handed it to Ye Yuyao.

After learning Han Lin to wear a mask, Ye Yuyao walked into the room she had never entered.

Han Lin didn't care about Ye Yuyao's reaction, after entering the house, he sat directly in front of the table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the room, and started to grind the ink. The reason why he did this was to test Ye Yuyao's spiritual root.

Generally speaking, there are many ways to test a person's spiritual root, and the simplest is of course to use a special magic weapon, so that you can intuitively see what kind of spiritual root this person is, and whether it is suitable for cultivation, but Han Lin obviously does not have this kind of magic weapon.

And not only did he not have this special magic weapon, Han Lin didn't know any other easy way to test the spiritual root, there was only one way he could think of, and that was to try to cultivate.

No matter whether a person's spiritual root is good or bad, they will eventually feed back into their cultivation, if it is easy to feel the spiritual energy, and the cultivation speed is okay, then obviously the spiritual root will naturally not be bad. On the contrary, it is naturally the type that is not suitable for cultivation.

Therefore, Han Lin now plans to excerpt the Qi Refining Chapter of the "Immortal Urn" in his memory, if Ye Yuyao's cultivation is very smooth under the guidance of the Qi Refining Chapter, it will naturally be good. But if she couldn't succeed in refining her qi for a long time, then she wouldn't blame Han Lin.

Han Lin was planning in his heart, not noticing that Ye Yuyao had already walked to his side.

"Master, I'll study it!" With that, the girl took the ink ingot in Han Lin's hand.

Han Lin didn't say anything about the little girl's well-behaved appearance, he just picked up the brush and began to write the exercises in his memory.

Ye Yuyao on the side was studying ink while watching Han Lin write, she still couldn't see the reason for what Han Lin wrote, but Han Lin's words gave her a great impact.

The elegant and smooth calligraphy on the hand really surprised Ye Yuyao, she didn't expect that Han Lin, a young boy, could actually have this hand comparable to everyone's calligraphy, the legendary words are like their people, and they are really right.

If Han Lin knew what Ye Yuyao was thinking at this time, he would definitely be embarrassed. Because words are like people, this sentence is completely untenable in his place.

Especially the calligraphy, Han Lin still remembers that when he went to Dange to fill in the identity information a few months ago, he couldn't even grasp the calligraphy, and the writing was crooked, like a dog shielding and crawling.

The reason why he has such a good hand now is that he learned it completely from the "knot", the man in the dream not only taught him the skills of refining talismans, but also transmitted some of the feelings of the man when he wrote and drew talismans to Han Lin's memory.

After that, coupled with Han Lin's continuous practice when refining talismans, his calligraphy level also improved rapidly, and now he is not only looking at the past, but even has a feeling of being in his own school.

"It seems that the ability of that "node" is really strong, a little bit of calligraphy skills have been transmitted to me, and when I have mastered it, I will be able to have a level of everyone, so if I can master it all, then I can't become a grandmaster level?" Looking at the words he wrote, Han Lin was also very happy, at least he didn't embarrass himself this time.

"Since the 'knot' still has this ability, then my cooking skills are not regressing but advancing, will it also have something to do with the knot that I learned alchemy before?" Han Lin thought wildly in his mind.

Although he was thinking about something else in his mind, the movements in his hands did not slow down at all, because he had already memorized the mantra of the Qi Refining Chapter of "Immortal Urn". In this way, he quickly finished writing the mantra of this exercise.

"Miss Yuyao, you take this" After checking that there were no mistakes, Han Lin handed the paper whose ink had not yet dried to Ye Yuyao on the side.

"This is our sect's cultivation mantra for the Qi refining period, I will give it to you now, if you can successfully enter the Qi refining period through the exercises within five days, I will accept you as an apprentice? But if you can't do it, you can only blame us for not having a master-apprentice fate" Han Lin said half-truthfully, "Remember, this exercise can only be seen by yourself, if it is seen by others, even if you succeed in Qi refining, I will not accept you as an apprentice, remember?"

"Hmm!" Ye Yuyao held the piece of paper in both hands like a treasure, and nodded solemnly to Han Lin.

This well-behaved appearance made Han Lin a little unbearable again, so in order to reduce the difficulty for Ye Yuyao again, Han Lin beckoned and let Ye Yuyao sit on a stool.

After that, he controlled a trace of his true qi and slowly walked along Ye Yuyao's meridians. That route is the meridian route when the exercise is running.

After doing this, Han Lin didn't say anything, and directly got up and left the house, and it wasn't until Han Lin walked out of the courtyard that Ye Yuyao was fully awake from the guidance just now.

And when she woke up, she immediately wanted to express her gratitude to Han Lin, because she knew that Han Lin had done her a great favor just now. But after searching the entire courtyard, she didn't see Han Lin, and then she didn't leave until Han Lin had left.

Looking at the exercise cheats left by Han Lin, Ye Yuyao clenched her fists, she must not miss this opportunity, the road to cultivation is bound to be won by her.

"Master, Auntie, Daddy, you have a good look, I will not let you down!"
