vs 74 A blessing and not a curse
"Congratulations to Young Master Ping, he can be accepted as a disciple by Senior Wei, with the cultivation strength of Senior Wei, Young Master Ping will definitely be able to shine in the Heavenly Star Valley and get ahead. It's just that at that time, don't forget such an old acquaintance of the slave family!" Li Zhen on the side got up and saluted Shen Tong, and said with a smile on his face.
Looking at the empty chair after the old man left, Shen Tong couldn't wait to find someone to scold him to eliminate the anger in his heart. This old man is also a magical person, and he wants to accept him as a registered disciple if he is so immortal. I just came out to make an ordinary transaction for the shop, and it was a simple matter of taking out the spirit stone from the Ruyi bag and putting it into the spirit bone, how could there be an extra cheap master in the blink of an eye.
Registered disciple!
Shen Tong really couldn't figure out what was going on, if he was a person with amazing qualifications and talents, this could still be said to be more or less in the past, and he could still be understood, but it was clear that he was just a person with three spiritual roots, in the eyes of the monks of the foundation building period who were accustomed to seeing geniuses, where could he be on the stage? This really made Shen Tong puzzled.
"Why does Young Master Ping seem to be preoccupied?" Li Zhen didn't get a response, so she couldn't help but smile and asked strangely.
Her words made Shen Tong couldn't help but be surprised, even if he was extremely depressed at the moment, a smile surged on his face and said: "Miss Zhen said that she laughed, but this thing was too unexpected and incredible, so I couldn't believe it was true for a while." ”
Li Zhen's face softened at this time, and he continued to smile: "This is also true! Thinking about how prestigious Star Valley was that day, it stood with the Holy Fire Alliance and the Xuanling Gang in the world, ruling the entire West Pole Continent, although our Li family is also considered to be a dominant party, it is only one of several affiliated families, and this alone can tell the strength of its sect." And at this time, it has only been 2 years since the 'Ascension Immortal Society' jointly organized by the three major factions, and there are still 2 years before the next recruitment of disciples. What's more, Senior Wei is about to retreat this time to impact the Jindan period, if he can become a Jindan monk in one fell swoop, Young Master Ping will naturally rise with it, and his status in the sect will also be greatly improved. ”
Shen Tong restrained his emotions at this time and asked calmly, "What is the Immortal Ascension Meeting?"
Li Zhen covered her mouth and chuckled, and asked rhetorically, "Is it true that Young Master Ping really doesn't hear anything outside the window, and doesn't even know about such a famous event on the West Pole Continent?"
Shen Tong bowed and said, "I also hope that Miss Zhen will teach you." ”
Li Zhen said casually, from the steward's room, she already knew that Li Ping had been in retreat for decades, and it was not strange for people like him to be unclear about outside affairs. In addition, now that Li Ping is about to become a disciple of Tianxing Valley and a registered disciple of a monk in the foundation building period, his identity is very different, and he can't help but explain it in more detail.
"The so-called Immortal Ascension Association is a grand gathering of the three major gangs on the West Pole Continent to jointly recruit disciples of the sect, because these three gangs are practicing the secret art of the Immortal Family, so there is also the saying of 'carp jumping over the Dragon Gate' to ascend to immortals. If you want to join the three major factions, you can only wait for the Immortal Ascension Meeting, which is held once every four years, to pass a series of tests. It is said that the requirements for the three major gangs to recruit disciples are extremely high, in addition to the direct inclusion of the Heavenly Spirit Root monks, the monks of the Double Spirit Root also need to go through a series of talent tests, and even some people with a bad foundation also need to go through some fighting competitions and obtain a certain rank before they are eligible to join the sect. There are really only a handful of disciples like Young Master Ping who are directly favored by the monks of the foundation building period. Li Zhen explained with a smile.
"In this way, the family teacher really looks at me differently!" Shen Tong replied.
Li Zhen couldn't hear Shen Tong's depressed mood at the moment, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Young Master Ping, you have to cherish this opportunity! If you can gain a firm foothold in the sect, your status in the family will naturally rise, and if you live for a lifetime, even if you don't want to get ahead, you always have to be looked up to, right?"
Shen Tong nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, now that time is tight, I should go and pack my things early, so as not to miss the time agreed by the tutor." As he spoke, he put the token in his hand into the Ruyi bag, just now he used his divine sense to probe, this silver token, I don't know what it was made of, it was quite heavy, and the divine sense was bounced off after a little temptation, obviously there was another mystery in it. However, he did not dare to move at will, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.
After confessing to Li Zhen, Shen Tong walked towards his small courtyard in a depressed mood. At this time, in the sea of divine consciousness, the voice of Yu Xuan sounded, as if he was a little schadenfreude and said: "I can't see it, Li Xiaoyou has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his roots and bones are strange, and he is very popular!
Shen Tong reprimanded with a straight face: "Old ghost, could it be that you were discovered by that old guy, so you pretended to take me as an apprentice and wanted to investigate this matter?"
Youxuan put away his joking tone and said with a little seriousness: "This is absolutely impossible, not to mention the monks of the foundation building period, even the monks of the Jindan period can't detect such a situation, after your divine consciousness occupies the Ruyi bag, unless others kill you and let the divine consciousness collapse, otherwise, there is no way to occupy the control of the Ruyi bag at all." And I had been hiding in it before, and there was no divine consciousness fluctuation overflowing at all, how could he possibly discover the existence of the old man?"
After thinking about it, Youxuan continued: "Besides, if he found out about me, it would not be possible to take you as an apprentice, but just ask you directly. Wouldn't it be okay to ask you again if they took you as a disciple and asked you?
Shen Tong pondered: "Since this is not the case, then why?" Shen Tong couldn't help but be shocked, couldn't it be that the old man found the mysterious little bead? But after thinking about it, he denied such an idea, this bead was put on by Li Ping's mother at the beginning, Li Ping's father Li Xian was also present at that time, and Li Xian's cultivation was also in the late stage of foundation building, even stronger than this old man, with his cultivation for so long without finding any abnormalities, where could this old man be so powerful? And just like the old ghost said, if the old man really tries to do wrong, it seems that it is more reliable and trouble-free to take advantage of his own entry into the Storm Mountain Range, and after harvesting the apprentices, he will find trouble with the apprentices?
"Li Xiaoyou, what are your plans next?" Seeing that Shen Tong was silent for a long time, Youxuan couldn't help but ask again.
Shen Tong shook his head helplessly and said: "The matter has come to this, where is there any other way? I can only go to that Tianxing Valley to see the situation first, but I don't know what the old man's idea is at the moment, which really makes people feel a little uneasy!"
Youxuan said: "Listen to what that chaste girl said, Tianxing Valley is also one of the best famous families, and you don't dare to mess around if you want to come here." Besides, you are a disciple of the Li family, a monk from the monk family, even if he has any ideas, there is no need to worry. Maybe that old man really took a fancy to your strong spiritual power and extraordinary bones? Maybe this is also an opportunity for you, didn't that chaste girl say that other monks can't enter such a sect if they want to?"
Shen Tong sighed and said: "It's just that in this way, it can be regarded as completely disrupting our plan, and among the big factions, there are too many people who have cultivated to the top level, so I'm afraid you have to be more careful." ”
Youxuan said: "The old man doesn't care, there must be a road to the mountain by car, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." Since the matter has come to this point, and it is difficult to change it, it is better to go on a trip, whether it is a blessing or a curse, or a disaster that cannot be avoided! What do you say, Li Xiaoyou?"
"That's the same reason, let's go! Pack up your things, let's leave early. Shen Tong discussed with Youxuan, but he still couldn't find an answer, so he could only stop thinking about it.
By the time Shen Tong finished packing up his things and walked to the door of the shop, a carriage was already waiting there, and Li Zhen and Tao'er were waiting aside, obviously they had been talking about these things just now.
