Chapter 208: Accepting Disciples
This kind of participation mode directly excludes some idle people who have no background, and those who can participate must be people with a certain identity.
Not only that, but due to the limited auction space, once the quota for the auction is exhausted, even if you have the money, you will not be able to enter the auction if you want to participate in the final auction, so you must rush there early if you do not have an invitation.
Although the hidden dragon had already received an invitation from the Killing God Temple before this, but now that Jiang Ming's return could not be hidden, if the people of the hidden dragon took the invitation to participate in the auction openly, they were afraid that they would be blocked by those who had enemies against the Xuanyin body as soon as they walked out of the ancient city of Xi'an.
Even if you have an invitation, you can't use it, and even if you go to participate, you can't report it as your real identity.
Although Jiang Ming now has a net worth of more than 10 million spirit stones, as the most guaranteed bargaining chip for participating in the auction, these things are obviously not enough.
Now that he thinks about it, he still underestimates the heritage of the Killing God Temple, before he thought that although the value of tens of millions of spirit stones could not dominate, he also had a not weak capital.
But after listening to the explanation of the senior management of the hidden dragon, Jiang Ming realized that it seemed that he really looked down on the grade of this auction.
The value of 10 million spirit stones can barely participate in the auction, and if he has a net worth like this, he can jump twice at most.
It seems that we need to hurry up when it comes to collecting the principal
After taking care of all the things that should be cooked, Jiang Ming decided to stay in Bailing Mountain for the last day, and he would hurry out tomorrow.
On the last day, Jiang Ming left this time for Huang San and Fang Hui, two former friends.
Jiang Ming, who was originally a cultivator, already had a deep generation gap with them, and now Jiang Ming has become the master of the Hidden Dragon, although he also lives at the foot of this Bailing Mountain, but there are not many intersections in ordinary times.
Jiang Ming found Huang San and Fang Hui, and also brought Zhang Xiao, the little nephew, to hold a small party together.
After dinner, Jiang Ming and Huang San sat on the stone bench and played backgammon, when they were in Huangshan Academy before, he and Huang San liked to play chess among the four brothers, and Huang San defeated him every time.
After some discussion, even after so many years, Jiang Ming is still no better than Huang San, a master.
"Haha, I said fourth, although your identity is different, but your chess skills are still as bad as ever" Huang San stroked his beard and laughed at Jiang Ming.
Under Jiang Ming's current identity, it is estimated that there is only one Huang San who dares to speak to him in this tone in the Hidden Dragon Organization.
But Jiang Ming also likes this, if because of the change of his identity, these friends in the past have become estranged, then it is not what he wants to see.
No matter how strong his strength is, no matter how his identity changes, he only hopes that in front of such friends, he will always be the most sincere way to get along.
"I think my chess skills are pretty good, it's just that you're too good." Jiang Ming also replied with a smile.
"I said that your kid is not good at playing chess, but he has a set of verbal skills, and if he loses, he loses, why don't you admit it."
The two of them were arguing word by word, and at this moment they seemed to have returned to the previous time.
Jiang Ming is no longer a cultivator, and Huang San has also returned to the obscene man who can't walk when he sees beautiful women, all this is beautiful, but in a blink of an eye, Jiang Ming is already the Lord of the Hidden Dragon, and Huang San has long lost the passion of the year.
Fang Hui on the side looked at the two people in the laughing conversation, and there was also a little feeling in the cloudy old eyes, at this moment, he thought of his husband Zhang Tao, who had been dead for many years, if he hadn't died at the beginning, maybe it would be another scene for the three of them to be together now.
When she thought about it, tears flowed out of Fang Hui's eyes unconsciously, and Zhang Xiao, who was on the side, looked at her like this, as if she knew what she was thinking, and her heart suddenly became sour.
"Mother won't be thinking about my father again, will she?"
"That guy abandoned us and left first, what is there to think of such a heartless person." Fang Hui wiped the tears from her eyes and said.
said so, but Zhang Xiao could clearly feel that she was lying, but he also just pretended not to know, so as not to touch Fang Hui's emotions again.
"Mother, I want to worship Uncle Jiang Ming as a teacher, with such a powerful master, I think I can definitely become stronger!" Zhang Xiao looked at Fang Hui and said suddenly.
Hearing this, Fang Hui immediately suppressed the sadness in her heart and looked at her child, although she didn't approve of Zhang Xiao since she became a cultivator early in the morning, but even an ordinary person like Fang Hui who couldn't practice knew about the changes in the situation in the cultivation world now.
With the advent of the new era, in the near future, it will definitely be a prosperous era in which many outstanding people will emerge and the strong will be like clouds, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the monastic world without strong strength in such an environment.
No matter how much she disagrees with Zhang Xiao to become a cultivator, it will be too late, Zhang Xiao, who already has the strength of the Spirit King, even if she gives up the path of cultivation now and becomes an ordinary person, she will suffer a lot of trouble because of his strength.
It is impossible to become an ordinary person again, and under the pressure of this new era, Fang Hui can only choose to make her children stronger.
Although Zhang Xiao has always been taught by many high-level leaders of the Hidden Dragon Organization, Jiang Ming is now a real lord, and his strength is already invincible in this Hidden Dragon, and he will definitely have a better future if he teaches Zhang Xiao.
Fang Hui glanced at Zhang Xiao, and in the end, she still decided in her heart that she wanted her child to become a powerful cultivator.
I saw her touch Zhang Xiao's head, then stood up and walked towards Jiang Ming and Huang San.
Jiang Ming and the two were still arguing about playing chess, but when they saw Fang Hui coming over, they immediately stopped arguing.
"Hey, I remember you said you would take good care of our mother?" Fang Hui walked over and said directly to Jiang Ming, as if he didn't take Jiang Ming, the newly appointed lord, in his eyes at all.
I hadn't seen Fang Hui like this for more than half a hundred years, and now Fang Hui's attitude directly gave Jiang Ming a hint of foreboding in his heart.
"Uh, did I say that?" Jiang Ming pretended to be puzzled.
"Okay, don't be poor with me, you said you would help the dead ghost take care of our mother, you haven't seen anyone every day for so many years, how can you take care of it, I didn't tell you much about the past, and now I have something to ask you to help you can't refuse, right?" Fang Hui pinched her waist with both hands, and seemed to have some of the image of a female man in the past.
When they were together, Fang Hui was the most manly of all the girls, and she was usually very arrogant with these men, almost without any constraints, and now this iconic action was made by Fang Hui again, but with her current appearance, she has a completely different feeling from before
Huang San was also stunned when he heard this, the two of them were now people who were about to enter the ground, they usually had food and drink here, even if it was a dispute between the Hidden Dragon Organization and the outside world, it would not be their turn to intervene, what else could Fang Hui need Jiang Ming's help with?
"Uh, come and hear?" Jiang Ming nodded lightly, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and deliberately made the appearance of a lord.
"Zhang Xiao, come here!" At this time, Fang Hui beckoned to Zhang Xiao behind him.
After Zhang Xiao saw his mother's call, he trotted over directly with a look of ecstasy.
When Zhang Xiao ran closer, Jiang Ming was still puzzled, Huang San had already reacted first, and then saw Fang Hui put one hand on Zhang Xiao's shoulder, and said to Jiang Ming: "I want you to take my son as an apprentice!" ”
When the words fell, Jiang Ming was directly stunned, in the moment just now, he had thought of many kinds of requests that Fang Hui would make, but he didn't expect such a thing.
"Apprentices?"
Jiang Ming muttered to himself in his heart, since he became a cultivator, he seemed to have always stood in the perspective of his juniors, although it had been decades since he had just stepped into the realm of cultivation, but he himself didn't seem to feel how long it was.
Time passed easily, Jiang Ming fell into a sense of silence at this time, he was still a junior who was full of doubts about the cultivation world, and now he has become the new lord of the Hidden Dragon, and there are people who call him an elder.
I don't know what I would think of my apprenticeship if the Netherworld was still there?
For a while, Jiang Ming's heart was filled with a lot of feelings, and after a while, he got up and looked at Zhang Xiao.
Receiving the gaze from Jiang Ming, Zhang Xiao seemed to be a little restrained and looked unnatural.
After all, among the younger generations like them, Jiang Ming is like an idol-like existence, and Zhang Xiao is a little embarrassed to be stared at by his idol like this.
"Do you want to be a powerful cultivator?" Jiang Ming looked at Zhang Xiao with a slightly solemn expression.
For any cultivator, great strength is always a lifelong pursuit.
Hearing Jiang Ming's question, Zhang Xiao's eyes showed a very yearning look.
"Of course, I want my name to resound throughout the monastic world!" Zhang Xiao said solemnly.
Although there was some exaggeration between the expressions of the words, Jiang Ming didn't mean to laugh at all at this time.
"Do you know what kind of tribulation it takes to get there?"
"I have never had such an experience, but in order to protect my loved ones, I am willing to try no matter how dangerous the road ahead is!" Zhang Xiao replied.
Through this simple and simple answer, Jiang Ming could see that these were words from the depths of Zhang Xiao's heart.
Hearing this, Jiang Ming sighed in his heart, this child is slightly similar to his father Zhang Tao, not only does he look very similar, but his personality is also inherited from Zhang Tao. To be continued.
