In fact, earlier, when Yan Tong said that he wanted to worship Mu Ying as a master, Yan Xiang was quite supportive of her brother's decision, but later she gradually found that her brother's idea might not be a good thing, so there was the scene where Yan Tong was persuaded before.

But anyway, my brother has been frustrated, and she, who is a younger sister, will definitely not be very happy.

Yan Xiang looked at her brother and found that he was half-bowing his head, his hands were clutching the corners of his clothes tightly, and she was more and more sure that her brother had lost today, she thought about it, and looked at the other nine disciples one by one.

In fact, in Yan Xiang's heart, her brother was very powerful, so she also wanted to know who would be the one who defeated her brother and finally became the apprentice of Elder Yunyi?

"I've kept you all waiting."

Mu Ying waited until the head of the sect had all taken their seats before speaking, "Although it took a lot of time, it was also a gain, and after passing the test of these three levels, I finally selected a disciple." ”

Although they had already guessed this, when they really heard Mu Ying say this, the people in the audience were still inevitably excited, and their eyes swirled back and forth on the ten disciples, trying to see from their expressions who was the lucky one who was favored by Mu Ying.

The ten disciples who had been silent for a long time finally made a move when they heard this, and several of them naturally looked towards Tan Yuan, and the meaning in their eyes was obvious.

"Tan Yuan, come forward."

When it comes to the identity of the people present, Mu Ying may not be the highest, but today she is the protagonist. She will take in the apprentices. Whether it is the head of the house, the hall master or the elders, they are just here to support her, so she sits in the middle. At this time, he stretched out his hand and beckoned to Tan Yuan.

Tan Yuan couldn't help but look up at Mu Ying when he heard this, his delicate face was a little helpless and surprised, when he saw Mu Ying nodding at him, Tan Yuan reacted and hurriedly approached and stood beside Mu Ying.

"Real people."

He saluted respectfully.

"Tan Yuan, you have performed well in these three competitions, both in terms of your heart and alchemy foundation. This makes me quite satisfied and valued, and now I ask you, would you like to worship me as a teacher? ”

Mu Ying's face was cautious when he said this. His eyes looked at Tan Yuan without blinking, as if he wanted to see his heart through his eyes.

Tan Yuan felt a sour nose and involuntarily knelt down.

"The disciple is willing!"

Mu Ying's current status is high, and he is already the fifth elder of the Immortal Cloud Sect at a young age. His identity as a seventh-grade alchemist is unmatched on the mainland except for Yu Zhu. is such a talented person, who speaks to himself in such a serious and dignified tone, with respect in his words, and does not have a sense of condescension. This made Tan Yuan feel warm in his heart, and he couldn't help but be moved by Mu Ying.

If he respected Mu Ying's identity and ability in the past, then now he really puts her in his heart, and in the future, he will be a good apprentice and learn from the master seriously. And I will also honor Master!

As soon as he made this decision in his heart, Tan Yuan was instantly stunned.

Honor......

He looked up at Mu Ying. Thinking that he had heard that Mu Ying seemed to be only twenty-five years old, he seemed to be only older than him...... Twelve?

Mu Ying didn't know what the apprentice was thinking, but he could see that his true feelings were revealed in an instant, so Mu Ying smiled and glanced at the maid beside him.

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly sent the spirit tea that had been prepared to Tan Yuan, and Tan Yuan was also a thoughtful person, and immediately understood what this meant, so he raised the tea above his head with both hands, "Please drink tea, Master!" ”

The rule of apprenticeship tea has been around for a long time, and when Mu Ying took this cup of spiritual tea in front of everyone and drank it, the master-apprentice relationship between the two was officially established, which was equivalent to a ritual to a certain extent.

So when Mu Ying took a sip of tea, all kinds of congratulations suddenly sounded on the field, and everyone's expressions became different.

A few families are happy and a few are worried, a few people secretly hate and a few people are worried, these Mu Ying don't care, she is sincerely happy that she has accepted a very desirable disciple.

"Okay, from now on, you will be my disciple of Mu Ying."

Mu Ying said, and stood up, "Thank you for coming to testify about today's events, and I will teach my disciples next, so please take care of yourself." ”

This is sending off guests, but it is not the guests of the elders of the sect who are in charge, but the disciples who come to watch. Hearing Mu Ying say this, they left very interestingly, and Mu Ying sent them away after a polite exchange with the head and others, and then returned to Xiangyun Hall with his freshly baked disciples.

"In the future, you will live with me in the Xiangyun Palace, there is a nice room in the northeast corner, it is very quiet, but it is very suitable for concentrating on cultivation, you can live there." Mu Ying instructed Tan Yuan.

"Yes."

Although he already has the status of master and apprentice, Tan Yuan still feels a little restrained when facing Mu Ying, Mu Ying found that he moved his fingers from time to time, and his heart was already clear, and the thoughts flashed in his mind and suddenly said:

"Why did you deliberately hide yourself in the first place?"

"Uh, what?"

Tan Yuan was nervous, and he couldn't help but hear Mu Ying suddenly say such a sentence, which made him very confused for a while.

"Do you remember Zhang Xiaohua?"

Mu Ying couldn't help but smile when he looked at this child, although he looked calm and witty from his usual performance, he was actually still a thirteen-year-old child, no wonder he was so at a loss when he was alone with him.

"Yes." Tan Yuan nodded, still having some impressions of the female cultivator who always liked to go to class to listen when she had nothing to do. "Why did Master suddenly ask about her?"

"I ...... After coming out of the retreat, I wanted to see how the level and foundation of the disciples recruited this time were, so I deliberately went to the Tiandan Hall under the pseudonym Zhang Xiaohua to stay for a while, wanting to touch your bottom. ”

Mu Ying almost said that after she came back from outside, she was fortunate to find out early, and changed it to the word retreat in time.

"Master, are you Zhang Xiaohua??"

Tan Yuan was taken aback. I didn't expect that the taciturn and ordinary-looking female cultivator was her master, and she couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"yes, I've been there for a few days. I took all of your performance into account, and your performance at that time was mediocre, and it was not as good as it was in today's test. ”

"Don't hide it from Master, I didn't want to deliberately hide myself when I first came to the sect." Tan Yuan scratched his head when he heard Mu Ying say this, "But then he was targeted by Yan Nan, he had to find trouble with his disciples everywhere, and I will have a long memory after a long time." He began to look deliberately clumsy, which made it much easier. ”

"I see."

Mu Ying didn't think much about it when he heard this, knowing that it was Tan Yuan's performance that was too good when he first entered the Immortal Cloud Sect. This was regarded as a thorn in Yan Nan's side, so he was troubled by the other party, and he understood a little bit when he thought about it.

"You're smart." Mu Ying smiled and complimented.

Whether it is the clumsiness before or the wit in the third level, it is enough to see that Tan Yuan, a child, is very thoughtful. "Fortunately, I set up these three levels of competition. Otherwise, just look at the performance of those days. I categorically will not choose you. ”

"Master, can the disciple ask a question?"

After Mu Ying finished speaking, Tan Yuan cautiously raised his eyes to look at Mu Ying, and opened his mouth with some apprehension.

"Oh? Just ask whatever you want. Mu Ying raised her eyebrows, "You and I are already in a master-apprentice relationship, so you don't have to be restrained." ”

"I wonder if you were asked to choose a disciple based on what you have seen and heard in those days, who would you choose?" Tan Yuan asked cautiously. At the same time, he was also observing Mu Ying's face.

"Among your fifty disciples who have performed well, the ones I valued the most at that time were Chai Fan and Yan Tong." Mu Ying hesitated for a moment and gave the answer. "Yan Tong doesn't need to say it, if he hadn't revealed his true nature in this third level, in terms of alchemy qualifications, I'm afraid there would be few of you in the same generation who could match him. As for Chai Fan, although he is not very clever, he is very hard-working, and he is a child who can make up for his clumsiness. ”

"Master doesn't even value Yan Nan?" It seemed that the two names that Mu Ying said were seriously beyond his expectations, Tan Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked more and more curiously.

"Then you say, why do I value Yan Nan?" Mu Ying was interested.

"Yan Nan is a member of the Yan family, not to mention his illustrious family background, his qualifications are also the most outstanding among our group of disciples, he is the only single spirit root of the fire system, such a spirit root is a natural alchemist." Tan Yuan sighed.

Yan Nan is also the pride of the sky, he was born in a famous family, and his own qualifications are one top and one good, whether at home or outside on weekdays, there are many people touting him, it can be said that he is the most famous disciple when recruiting disciples.

"Do you think that according to Master's conditions, it is necessary to consider the disciple's family background when choosing a disciple?" Mu Ying shook his head and smiled, "His qualifications are good, but his character is not good, and his head is confused, isn't it to find such a disciple to add to my heart?" ”

It is precisely because Yan Nan seems to be good everywhere that he has been accustomed to this appearance since he was a child, he can't see the situation clearly, and he is reckless in doing things, he is now relying on these advantages to oppress his disciples who are not as good as him, but when he loses this aura one day, then he will definitely be worse than death.

"What the master said is that the disciple is confused." Tan Yuan laughed embarrassedly.

"Although I will accept you as an apprentice, I will not teach you hand in hand, the so-called master leads you into the door to practice personally, if you have a heart, then you will naturally learn something." Mu Ying said seriously, "There are countless jade slips and pills in my alchemy room, you can read books and practice there on weekdays, and I will personally guide you in alchemy every three days, but this kind of life may not be too long, and I still have my own things to do." ”

Mu Ying has never brought an apprentice, and even when she learns knowledge by herself, no one has taught her by hand, most of them are explored by herself, so she has no experience in this regard, and now taking apprentices is basically groping, what the effect is, I am afraid it depends more on the apprentice's own understanding.

But how could her Mu Ying's apprentice be bad? Mu Ying was confident that he would teach Tan Yuan well, and he knew that he would not let himself down.

"Yes, I see."

After the master and apprentice reached a consensus, Mu Ying asked Tan Yuan to familiarize himself with the environment around his own room, while Mu Ying went to the alchemy room and sorted out all the jade slips and pills that Tan Yuan could use now.

From the second day, the master and apprentice began their own teaching and learning path, and Tan Yuan spent almost all of his time in Mu Ying's alchemy room, and only returned to his residence in the middle of the night.

In the morning, he usually reads the book and memorizes some pills, and in the afternoon, he will start alchemy or refining liquid medicine by himself, Mu Ying gave him enough spirit grass, no matter what kind of pill, as long as he passes the skill level, even if he has to refine a hundred copies, it is no problem, so Tan Yuan sometimes often tries to refine the pill that he has never been exposed to, and the problems encountered in alchemy will be recorded, and every three days when Mu Ying comes to guide him, he will ask questions.

Mu Ying's knowledge of alchemy is not all from books, most of it is obtained by herself in alchemy, so when explaining problems, she often points out the root of the problem with a sharp point, and does not have the theoretical knowledge throughout, so Tan Yuan always quickly understands what she means, and can draw inferences from each other to deal with the problem.

It is precisely because of this that Mu Ying likes Tan Yuan's comprehension ability more and more, and this child is very worry-free, and he does not make any noise at all on weekdays, which also makes Mu Ying breathe a sigh of relief.

Not only did he teach Tan Yuan verbally, Mu Ying would sometimes look at Tan Yuan's alchemy, and he would not open his mouth during the refining process, and only when he stopped would he point out some problems when he was alchemizing and teach him how to solve them. Occasionally, Mu Ying would refine a few furnaces of low-grade pills to show Tan Yuan, hoping that he could gain something through Mu Ying's alchemy techniques.

Mu Ying knew that for an alchemist, there was a very important ability, that is, he must know the medicinal properties of all spirit herbs well, only in this way could he understand what the consequences of the fusion of the two medicinal liquids would be without refining them himself, and what would be the effect of the pills refined by several spirit herbs, so when she cultivated Tan Yuan, she would often test him on the medicinal properties of some spirit herbs, and over time, she really achieved good results.

Except for Mu Ying's bothering a little at the beginning, after about three months, Tan Yuan had already changed dramatically from the beginning, whether it was alchemy or mental nature, he had improved by more than one level.

After the two people got acquainted, the daily relationship became very natural, they were not too talkative people, the two of them used the same alchemy room, and often practiced their own pills but rarely communicated, and there was already a tacit understanding between them. (To be continued.) )
