Chapter 24: Apprenticeship
The Qiaotong clan has lived in Aoki Town for generations, how could Qiaotong Mingshan not know the strength of the Zhao clan, taking Zhao Yongchang's strength enough to rival the strength of the Xuanhuang powerhouse, although he is humble to the Chamber of Commerce on the surface, but the-for-tat in the secret has made the development of the Qiaotong clan restricted everywhere.
"Mingshan thanked Mr. Ye. Qiaotong Mingshan exhaled a long breath and said gratefully: "Mr. Ye's great kindness to my Qiaotong family, Qiaotong Chamber of Commerce wishes the world to follow you." ”
"You don't have to worry too much, the old man is not here to sell your favor. Looking at the respectful purple-shirted old man in front of him, Ye Lao paused, and said lightly: "The old man only hopes that you can keep your mouth shut about this matter, and then do your best to block the news that I have appeared in Aoki Town, if you can do this, it will be enough for me." ”
"Mr. Ye. Qiao Tong Mingshan was stunned and said, "Who are you?"
"Stay. Ye Lao stood up and waved his hand.
It was only at this time, for the rest of his life, who was silent behind him, that he understood Ye Lao's hardships, and at the same time, he also deeply realized the terrifying energy of the mysterious force hidden in the dark.
Silently, the huge pressure began to take root in the bottom of his heart for the rest of his life, so that when he couldn't calm down for a long time, the hands hanging on his waist were also tightly clasped together.
An unprecedented desire for strength made the young man, who was only the fourth grade of the Xuanshi at this time, more determined to move forward all the way.
"Ye Lao. Following Ye Lao out of Aoki Town, Yu Sheng looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and said, "Are we going to Fucuo Slope now?"
"The blueprint we have in our hands now is just a fragment, if we want to find the location of the Ice Flame Fire Spirit, we must go to the nearest Fucuo Slope to Aoki Town, maybe we can get accurate clues. Ye Lao held the cane, straightened up and said, "If you are lucky enough, you can find the remaining remnants there, but everything is really ready." ”
After a short rest under the scorching sun, the old man and the emaciated young man behind him traveled south along the deserted mountain road.
I don't know how many mountains they climbed, and when the heavy twilight fell on the earth, the two of them who traveled south finally stopped their trekking in front of a cave in the hinterland of the Yunxi Mountain Range.
"Ye Lao, we have been on the road for a day. Looking at the foot-sized cave, Yu Sheng helped Ye Lao to sit down on a mountain rock and said, "You can sit down and rest for a while." ”
"Let's go find some dry branches to plug the hole. Looking at the clean and tidy surroundings, Ye Lao took out a jade bottle from his arms and said: "Then sprinkle this Cen Yan yellow powder in front of the cave, and if you encounter the feces of the demonic beasts, bring them over as well." ”
"Ye Lao, don't worry, you can rest in peace tonight. After packing up everything around, Yu Sheng sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave and said tiredly: "I just checked outside the cave, and I didn't see any footprints of the demonic beasts. ”
"It's better to be careful, the hinterland of this mountain range is not as calm as the Aoki Valley. ”
After nightfall, in the mountains and jungles, except for the fluctuations blown by the night wind, everything seems extraordinarily calm. Time passed silently through his fingertips, and for the rest of his life, he was running the Na Ling Jue, and after four weeks of repetition in his body, the peak aura of the four grades of the Xuanshi had faint signs of a breakthrough.
"Is it finally time to break through?"
With the joy in his heart, Annai once again carried the Na Ling Jue for the rest of his life. For a while, the Xuan Qi that was wandering in the meridians suddenly flowed rapidly.
"This son's talent is really jealous. Ye Lao, who was resting on the side, sat up in shock by the mysterious qi gathered in the cave, looked at the young man sitting cross-legged not far away, nodded his head incessantly, and said with relief: "It's only been a short period of more than 20 days, and it's about to break through again."
Before the exclamation in Ye Lao's heart could regain his calm, the Xuan Qi that was scattered slowly in the mountains and forests had begun to gather above the rest of his head, and it didn't take long for a light-colored jasper to condense.
"Break through. ”
As Yu Sheng's cold cry sounded, the blue jade seemed to be summoned, and swarmed towards the thin figure.
After a quarter of an hour, an aura that was even stronger than the five grades of ordinary Xuanshi poured out from the body of the rest of his life.
Feeling the mystical qi in the meridians that was much thicker than before, the thin young man slowly opened his closed eyes, looked at the old man on the side, and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.
"Good boy, just with this volume of low-level cultivation exercises, you can have such a dazzling growth rate. When he sighed at the cultivation talent beyond ordinary people for the rest of his life, Ye Lao couldn't help but marvel: "Old man really can't imagine now, after this Na Ling Technique has taken the Ice Flame Fire Spirit Advancement, what a terrifying height your cultivation speed will reach in the future." ”
"Mr. Ye, please bow for the rest of your life. Yu Sheng leaned down and kowtowed heavily on the ground: "Although you are not my relative, you are like a reborn parent to me." ”
"A good man kneels down to the emperor and queen of heaven, and kneels down to his parents and teachers. Ye Lao took Yu Sheng's arm and said, "The old man saved your life, it's just the fate between you and me." ”
"For the rest of my life, I was the one who lost my life, but now I have not only picked up a life, but I can also cultivate Xuan Qi again and start over. Yu Sheng knelt on the ground and said: "This kind of grace of recreation, the rest of your life will definitely kneel and kowtow to thank you for your kindness." ”
"That's it, that's it. Ye Lao waved his hand, and suddenly sat down solemnly: "I wonder if you can worship under the old man's door now to learn the art of alchemy and pill to save the common people in the world?"
"The art of refining medicine into a pill?" Yu Sheng asked in surprise, "According to what Elder Ye said, can I also become a Dan Master?"
"The old man is very old, and he has never taken in an apprentice in his life. Ye Lao's expression was sad, and he said lightly: "I see that in addition to the fire attribute in your body, there is also a slight coexistence of wood attributes, and you are a seedling of a Danshi." ”
"Let me ask this Yunyun monk of the Xuanmin Continent, who doesn't want to become a Dan Master with supreme glory?" The rest of his life after recovering from shock shook his head, and said with a bitter smile: "It's just that the younger generation grew up in the Muyun Sect since childhood, if he worships under Ye Lao's door now, I am afraid that he will exhaust his life's strength, and he will not be able to escape the evil suspicion of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors." ”
"Hehe, what a person who respects his teacher. Ye Lao said with relief: "But you were a powerful Xuanjun with infinite scenery at that time, and it has nothing to do with the rest of your life at this time." ”
"But ......"
"Okay, you have to know that the old man is not going to accept Xu Sheng as an apprentice now. Ye Lao stood up, and in his calm tone, there was an irresistible power, and he said eloquently: "What is standing in front of the old man now is just the rest of his life that has just broken through the five grades of the Xuan Master, and it has nothing to do with the genius he has never met in a hundred years in Muyun Sect." ”
"Ye Lao ......"
"That's enough, the old man will ask you one last time. Ye Lao held a cane in his hand, slammed it on the ground, made a muffled sound, and said coldly: "Are you willing to worship under my door." ”
"Please also ask Ye Lao not to blame. Looking at the aged back in front of him, Yu Sheng pondered for a moment, knelt on the ground, and said reverently: "The master is above, please accept the unfilial disciple for the rest of your life." ”
"Okay, okay, hurry up. Ye Lao turned around, nodded again and again, and said with emotion: "Who would have thought that the old man would meet such a good apprentice in his twilight years, it is really unpredictable." ”
"Thank you for the rest of your life, master......"
"Not good. Ye Lao interrupted.
For a while, all the strong coercion was dispersed, and the joy of the disciples could not be put away, and outside the silent cave door, there was a sudden sound of drinking.
Immediately after that, there was a loud sound like a mountain collapsing, and all the dead branches piled up in front of the exit were scattered.
With the faint light in the cave, Yu Sheng hurriedly looked out, only to see smoke and dust rising on the empty and flat ground in front of the cave, and two huge tiger beasts were biting each other without letting go.
"Teacher, is this?" said Yu Sheng.
"Fight for the realm. Ye Lao's face was solemn: "Looking at the demonic beasts in the depths of this mountain range, not to mention the fifth-order cultivation, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to retreat now." ”
"Two fifth-order demonic beasts?" Yu Sheng said in shock: "Putting aside the nascent spiritual intelligence, this strong physical defense alone can make the Xuanhuang powerhouse stop, right?"
"It's really troublesome, quickly put out the dry wood on the ground. With a wave of his right hand, Ye Lao struck out a protective body aura, wrapping the breath of the rest of his life along with the entire cave: "The top priority is to stay in this cave to avoid the edge for a while, and wait for them to leave on their own." ”
Looking at Ye Lao, whose eyebrows were tightly locked, Yu Sheng kicked away the bonfire on the ground, tightly held the black ruler that was buzzing in his hand, stared at the huge figure in the dust outside the cave door, and sighed regretfully for his insignificant cultivation.
"The big husband can bend and stretch. As if sensing the depression in Yu Sheng's heart, Ye Lao said with relief: "Temporary forbearance is just for better growth in the future." ”
"The disciple remembers the teacher's teachings. Yu Changchang exhaled, his restless body and mind gradually stabilized in the gentle ups and downs of his chest, and said sonorously: "In the future, I will do my best to cultivate and live up to your old cultivation." ”
"Your potential is not weak, it's just that you are not calm enough when you encounter problems. Ye Lao continued: "Why don't you put aside the matter of losing the glory of your body three years ago, and learn to cherish what is in front of you, so that you can cultivate a calm mind." ”
"The teacher is taught. ”
Yu Sheng nodded, and the past sealed in the depths of his heart began to flow calmly and slowly in his heart in the sound of sounds.
The joys and sorrows of the scenes, interwoven into the smoke-like past, have long been forgotten after the passage of three years. But when I remembered it again, I found that the past I buried in my heart and didn't want to mention it had long been like the morning mist that permeated the mountains, and it did not disappear with the alternation of the sun and the moon, but was rooted in the depths of my heart and became a pain that can never be erased.
