Chapter 13: Apprenticeship?
Five years, that's enough.
Meng Ran clenched his fists, confident and extraordinary.
"Now you can tell me what the conditions are!" Meng Ran looked at the old man.
The old man was silent, and after a while, his mouth moved: "Is there a strange object in your body that is ice blue, every time you refine the ice, strange things will pop out, right?"
Meng Ran was taken aback, looked at the old man solemnly, and felt more and more that the old man was not simple, and even the cold fish hidden in his body was discovered by the old man.
And the stardust compass?
It shouldn't be, the Stardust Compass was banned by his father dozens of times, unless it was the Martial Emperor, otherwise others would not be able to find out.
It is estimated that the old man is calculating with a cold fish.
"So what?"
Meng Ran didn't hide it, because the old man could say that, proving that he already knew everything.
The old man was pleasantly surprised, and as he expected, "That's it, do you know where that little thing came from?"
"I don't know!" Meng Ran shook his head.
"As far as the old man knows, the little thing should be the Blue Spirit Demon Fire, which can be appropriate to the Extreme Yin Fire. ”
Blue Spirit Demon Fire, Meng Ran's eyes lit up, he had seen such records at home before.
The Blue Spirit Demon Fire is a strange fire turned into a cold spirit, and the heaven and earth creatures ranked seventy-one on the list of living beings, the Dacheng Blue Spirit Demon Fire is powerful, and it can be frozen for thousands of miles in one move, which is extremely terrifying.
"How could the Blue Spirit Demon Fire be in his body?" Meng Ran was puzzled, what had happened to him for a thousand years.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
immediately looked at the old man vigilantly, and couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in the old man's gourd.
The old man smiled, touched a handful of white mustaches, and said, "The old man pinched his fingers, you kid can be regarded as a talent, or you will worship the old man." ”
Meng Ran's eyelids twitched, and he looked at the old man with a strange look. The old man turned himself around the bush like this, and in the end he was just for his own apprenticeship.
"You're not kidding!"
"The old man never tells a lie. The old man said seriously.
I don't believe it, Meng Ran said secretly. This dead old man is so vexatious.
"That's it?"
"That's all!"
"I don't!" Meng Ran turned his head and refused very unwillingly.
A teacher for one day, a father for life, this kind of thing can't be so casual, Meng Ran hasn't worshiped a teacher before his death!
"Wow, wow, you didn't agree, you said you agreed to my conditions!" The old man's confident smile stopped instantly, and Meng Ran didn't agree to apprentice, and he became angry.
"Yes, yes, no! I said this!" Meng Ran looked around, shook his head ignorantly, and stared at the old man very innocently.
This old man almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and this kid actually played a scoundrel.
But when the old man thought about it, he seemed to remember something, and smiled inexplicably.
Meng Ran's face changed, and this bad old man was scheming again.
"Why don't you agree to worship me as a teacher, do you know who the old man is? I am the king of medicine, how many cultivators in the Xi Kingdom want to worship me as a teacher?" The old man straightened his back, very confident in his identity as the king of medicine.
Medicine King, Meng Ran pondered, it turned out that this old man was not only a third-level array mage, but also a medicine king-level existence.
The Medicine King, as the name suggests, is a medicine refiner, and countless pills on the way to cultivation are from the hands of the alchemist, and the alchemist can use his magic hand to recycle the Heavenly Spirit and Earth Treasure to make it exert a more powerful effect. Therefore, this profession is respected by the world.
The alchemist can be divided into seven levels, Medicine Boy, Medicine Spirit, Medicine Master, Medicine King, Medicine Emperor, Medicine Venerable, and Medicine Saint. Each stage is divided into five small stages, and each major grade can refine a grade of elixir.
It shouldn't be, how could a medicine king-level alchemist find Meng Ran.
"Okay, okay, don't speculate anymore, old man, I'm not as bad as you think, it's just that looking at the blue spirit demon fire on you, with this demon fire, you can refine a higher level of elixir. The old man waved his hand and told Meng Ran the purpose of the apprenticeship.
So it was, Meng Ran finally understood the old man's purpose, which was to do it for the Blue Spirit Demon Fire.
"In this way, you can be the old man's apprentice with peace of mind!"
Meng Ran pondered for a moment, being an apprentice of the Medicine King, this was something that many cultivators dreamed of. But Meng Ran still shook his head and refused, and said euphemistically: "I'm sorry, I am a teacher for one day and a father for life, I still can't agree to your conditions!"
Meng Ran still followed his own principles, and would never worship a strange old man as a teacher at will, even though he was a medicine king.
"I'm the elder of the Xuanqing Sect, the medicine king, or the third-level array mage, isn't that enough?" The old man put his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, and his voice became cold.
"Not really, yes, you of the Medicine King may make me respect, but I still can't go against my heart. Meng Ran scratched his head, a little embarrassed, the old man helped him, but he broke his promise.
"What is your name, and what is your school?"
"In Xia Mengran, there is no door and no faction. ”
"You and I have no chance, but as the great elder of the Xuanqing Sect, I sincerely invite you to join my Xuanqing Sect?" the old man sighed, and he had a sense of cherishing his talents.
The old man took out a white envelope, walked towards Meng Ran, and handed the envelope to Meng Ran.
Meng Ran took the envelope, and there was a big character written on the envelope.
"What is this?" Meng Ran wondered.
"This is my invitation letter, with it, you can participate in the Xuanqing Sect's three-day outer gate assessment. ”
"Thank you, Meng Mou has thanked me here!" Meng Ran clenched his fists and said gratefully.
"Look, the highest peak is Xuanqing Mountain, and this sect is at the top of it. The old man stretched out his old hand and pointed to the highest peak not far in front of him.
I saw that the mountain peak in front of me was towering into the clouds, hidden in the big mountain, and a huge mountain gate in a corner could be seen, and on the top of it, there was also a pagoda with a strong aura.
Is that the Xuanqing Sect?
Meng Ran looked at the peak in front of him, his eyes showing determination.
Then I thought about it, no, I was obviously in the southernmost part of the Xi Kingdom, and according to Xuanqing Sect, thousands of miles away, the old man actually turned him here. Meng Ran couldn't smile bitterly, the old man kidnapped himself, and inadvertently helped himself, saving time in a hurry, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
"Okay, old man, I won't be strong, you can go!" the old man's voice was low, as if he was very lonely.
Meng Ran glanced at the old man deeply, his face was complicated, for the old man, he said that he hated but not to him, but he had to say that he was kind to him, but he was ashamed of him, he lowered his head, and did not dare to look at the old man. Then he bent down, clenched his fist with one hand, and bowed in thanks.
Then he turned and walked towards the trail behind him.
What Meng Ran didn't know was that the old man who turned his back to him didn't have any emotional fluctuations, grinning, everything was under his control.
"Meng... Of course, the children can be taught!"
The old man happily moved in place, gearing up his fists, playing an unknown set of punches, his fists and feet with the wind, and exhaling a fallen leaf. It seems to be a gentle fist, but it contains endless power.
"I've found a treasure. ”
I don't know how long it took, the old man stopped his fists and feet, looked at Xuanqing Mountain, and then jumped down from the top of the mountain.
"What a strange old man!" Meng Ran sighed as he walked on the mountain road.
The mountain road is narrow, the jungle is dense, and there are still the cries of birds and beasts from time to time.
After walking a mountain road, I came to an unknown place, where birds and flowers are singing, there are lush weeds and wild flowers everywhere, and there is a small stream in front of me, I don't know where it leads.
Seeing the stream, Meng Ran was overjoyed, it happened that he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, it was time to wash the dirt on his body, he was tossed by the mysterious old man, and his whole body was muddy and smelled of sweat, which was extremely unpleasant.
"Poof!"
Meng Ran came to the stream, didn't say a word, and jumped down directly.
The temperature of the water in the stream is just right, and it is extremely comfortable to soak in the stream, and there will be bursts of incense from the stream from time to time.
After running for a while, Meng Ran seemed to remember something and patted his forehead.
"Oh yes, my brain!"
It turned out that he wanted to clean it so much just now that he forgot that he still had a paper envelope on his body.
took out the envelope from his bosom, but it had already been soaked in the stream and did not look good.
"Bad luck!" Meng Ran scolded secretly, then threw away the envelope with one hand and ignored it again.
"No matter, no matter!" Meng Ran didn't want to disturb his mood because of this, and continued to take a bath.
The creek is crystal clear, and sometimes small fish pass by the soles of their feet, and some naughty little fish will gently bite the soles of Meng Ran's feet, making Meng Ran very uncomfortable.
Meng Ran finished cleaning and was about to go ashore, but he saw that something seemed to be slowly floating towards him.
"Huh!"
Meng Ran sighed lightly, and it turned out to be a white silk scarf, with a trace of undried blood on it.
When I kissed the tip of my nose, there was a faint and pleasant fragrance. It was preliminarily determined that this was a woman's belongings, and it is unknown why it ended up here.
"Could it be that there is someone upstream?" Meng Ran pondered for a moment, then walked ashore.
"Could it be that there is a fight ahead?" Meng Ran began to guess again.
After a while, Meng Ran decided, planning to go forward and find out.
Meng Ran is good at everything, he just likes to join in the fun, even if it is not as strong as before, but the essence of joining in the fun is still the same.
Then, he walked slowly upstream.
