There are a total of five huts in Li Shouyi's courtyard. The two rooms on the left are where he places his spiritual objects, the two rooms on the right, one is his bedroom, the other is Chu Xuan's accommodation, and the thatched hut in the middle is the main hall, except for a few bamboo chairs and a wooden table, there is no extra decoration in the room, which looks very simple and clean.

After discussing carefully with Li Shouyi, the old madman called Chu Xuan into the main hall, saying that he had something important to talk to him. Because they were worried that the conversation would be heard by outsiders, the two also specially set up a soundproof formation around the hut.

"Chu boy, do you want to become a monk?"

The old madman was lying on a bamboo chair in the living room, comfortably crossing Erlang's legs. He really wasn't polite to Li Shouyi, as if this was his own home. Li Shouyi looked at him with disgust, as if he was worried that his sloppy air would defile his chair.

Chu Xuan felt very strange when he heard the old madman's words, and nodded back: "Of course I want to, but I am a pulseless wasted person, and I am born unable to cultivate." ”

Li Shouyi on the side opened his mouth and said, "Chu boy, in fact, you ......"

"Eh, eh, Seventh Senior Brother, do you say it or do I say it. The old madman suddenly interrupted Li Shouyi, and continued: "The secrets on this kid were discovered by the old man, can you tell me clearly?"

"Okay, you say. Li Shouyi was a little annoyed and stopped at the moment.

The old madman saw that Li Shou was stunned, and immediately became embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Ah, junior brother, I was just joking with you, or you should say it." ”

Li Shouyi ignored him and sat upright in his chair, his eyes closed, obviously angry.

The old madman had no choice but to laugh a few times and said to Chu Xuan: "That, Chu boy, if the old man has a way to make you a monk, are you willing to worship the old man as a teacher?"

"This, I ......" Chu Xuan heard this, first his heart was overjoyed, and then he hesitated.

"Are you unwilling?" The old madman was very puzzled, he thought that as soon as he opened his mouth, Chu Xuan would immediately agree.

Chu Xuan shook his head and said calmly: "I'm sorry, old madman grandpa, Chu Xuan's life was saved by Grandpa Li, I promised him that I would stay in Nanjianmen for three years and take care of the medicine field for him, I don't want to break my word." ”

"You!" The old madman didn't expect him to say this, and he was depressed in his heart, I don't know how many people in this Nanjian Sect cried and shouted to worship under his door, he didn't even look at it, this Chu kid dared to refuse him.

Li Shouyi, who was on the side, couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Old thief, who do you think you are?

Not to be outdone, the old madman said to Li Shou: "What are you proud of? There is no old man, I'm afraid that you can't get through the spiritual veins on this kid's body at all, and if he stays by your side, he will be a waste." ”

"Hmph, that's better than you, people don't want to be your apprentice at all. Li Shouyi spoke in a tone like an angry child.

The old madman didn't want to fight with him anymore, and said solemnly: "Seventh Senior Brother, are you really willing to be destroyed by such a peerless genius at your hands? You must know that this kid is already eleven years old this year, if he doesn't open the spiritual vein next year, then he will really become a waste in this life." ”

When Li Shouyi heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then said, "What do you mean?"

The old madman touched his sloppy beard and said leisurely: "What the old man means, you and I are half of this apprentice." The old man is responsible for opening up the spiritual veins for him and teaching him to practice at the same time, and you are responsible for raising heavenly and earthly treasures for him to help him ascend to a higher realm. Externally, let's just say that he is a common disciple of our senior brothers, junior brother, what do you think?"

"Compared with accepting apprentices, the old man still prefers more natural treasures. Li Shou has been unabashed.

The old madman is really about to collapse, why is this junior brother so strong.

"Senior brother, even if the senior brother begs you, you can agree. Think about it, we are both over a hundred years old, and there is not even a person around us to inherit the mantle, in case we die one day, who will leave this little thing in our hands to? For example, should you leave this medicine field to those four old man's apprentices? Are you willing?" the old madman pleaded.

Seeing the old madman begging for himself like this, Li Shouyi's vanity was greatly satisfied. And his words were not unreasonable, Li Shouyi couldn't help but think about it seriously.

"You have some truth, and the old man reluctantly agreed. Li Shouyi said reluctantly.

In this way, Chu Xuan inexplicably had two more masters.

...

The old madman Zhang Guowan is one of the six elders of Nanjianmen, and he is still Li Shouyi's senior brother in terms of seniority. Like Li Shouyi, he is also an idler, usually leisurely and wandering, and never meddles in the affairs of the door.

In contrast, the reason why Li Shouyi had no intention of accepting disciples was because he put all his thoughts on collecting spirit stones and elixirs. The old madman is different, he is not accepted by a peerless genius because his vision is too high, so he has never accepted an apprentice.

The old madman has read countless people in his life, and how many so-called "geniuses" in the world seem to him nothing more than that. For decades, he had always thought that he might not have a chance to accept apprentices in this life, until he met Chu Xuan this time, and after confirming it again and again, he believed that the eleven-year-old boy in front of him was by no means a pulseless waste, but a peerless genius that he had been looking for. Only this man is entitled to inherit his mantle, so he must take this son under his throne no matter what.

All the monks who had seen Chu Xuan, including Li Shouyi, almost all thought that this son was a useless person, why did he become a genius when he came to the old madman?

There are many articles among them.

In fact, almost everyone in the human race has a spiritual vein, but because of the lack of resources, many people do not have the conditions for cultivation, so they cannot become monks, and there are almost no people who are born without a pulse.

The old madman therefore concluded that Chu Xuan was not without veins, and all the spiritual veins in his body were hidden veins.

The so-called hidden vein is a special spiritual vein possessed by a few geniuses in the human race, which cannot be detected or perceived by outsiders, but it is real.

Compared with ordinary solid veins, the transformation of aura by the hidden veins has more advantages in absorbing the treasures of heaven and earth. Ordinary people have one or two hidden veins, they can be called geniuses, like Chu Xuan, the thirty-six spiritual veins are all hidden veins, which is simply beyond the cognition of ordinary people, no wonder the Qi Pulse Master of the Zhou Kingdom treats him as a wasted person. And the reason why the old madman is discerning is actually because of his own reasons.

The old madman was born with thirty-two real veins, and the remaining four were hidden veins, thanks to the help of the hidden veins, his true cultivation far surpassed that of his fellow disciples, and even in the southeast of the entire continent, he was the number one in the row.
