Chapter 273: Apprenticeship
A few years ago, Luo Ziren might have scoffed at the behavior of blue smoke.
But now he has been able to participate in it without any scruples and seek benefits.
If you can't change the world, adapt to it.
"It's just a transaction, thank you and you don't have to go."
Luo Ziren didn't have any special feelings for Lan Yan, although they were classmates, they didn't usually see each other much.
The two sides are not familiar with each other.
And Lan Yan suddenly became so enthusiastic and active, Luo Ziren felt that it was because he was more useful now.
Sure enough, Lan Yan was not angry when she heard Luo Ziren's words, but said straight to the point:
"My great-grandfather was a general of the Zhongjing Pioneer Army, and he asked me to tell classmate Luo, if you want to join the army, you will be given a brigadier general position."
The brigadier general can lead 5,000 soldiers, which is at least the only one that can be held by a monk in the later stage of Jindan.
In the eyes of Lan Yan's great-grandfather, Luo Ziren's value is far greater than that of the late Jindan monks!
The other party's solicitation is so straightforward, it is really worthy of the style of the big man in the army.
It's a pity that Luo Ziren has not changed his original intention of not joining the army until now.
"Thanks, but I don't need to."
Luo Ziren wanted to be polite, but he was worried that the other party would misunderstand, so after thinking about it, it was better to refuse clearly.
"Huh? Don't you even think about it? ”
If it weren't for knowing that Luo Ziren was not angry, Lan Yan would have wondered if she had offended the other party.
That's the position of brigadier general!
After a few years of seniority, it is not impossible to become the youngest general in the future.
Why didn't this guy refuse without thinking about it?
Could it be that he, like himself, also wants to take the route of the Taoist League?
Lan Yan thought to himself.
"After thinking about it, this is the answer."
Luo Ziren paused and added:
"I'm just quick to react, and I don't mean to be disrespectful."
Blue Smoke: "."
Saying goodbye to Lan Yan, Luo Ziren directly found Zhong Daoxuan, who was bragging to his friends with the communication jade talisman.
"Eh, that, I'll get in touch later, I've got something serious going on here."
When Zhong Daoxuan saw Luo Ziren, he hurriedly hung up the voice and greeted with a smile:
"Luo Ziren, you are finally willing to show up! You're so calm! With such a big event as winning the championship and so many awards waiting for you to show up, you will be able to endure the retreat directly! ”
"Mr. Zhong, let's get down to business."
Luo Ziren rejected Zhong Daoxuan's greetings: "I need to improve the spiritual root qualification, and it is best to use the Five Elements Quenching Spirit Method to adjust." ”
"I know you're here for this, and I promised you!"
"Don't worry, it's not too late for us to talk first."
Zhong Daoxuan's tone was full of confidence, and he had obviously already figured out how to deal with Luo Ziren.
Luo Ziren was worried that Zhong Daoxuan would not care, and seeing that he was talking so deadly, he held back his temperament.
Zhong Daoxuan first made spiritual tea for Luo Ziren, and while making tea, Zhong Daoxuan took the initiative to speak:
"The ultra-miniature magic weapon puppet you used last time I borrowed it, you don't have to return it to me in the future."
It can be seen that Luo Ziren's victory on behalf of the Xiuxian Research Institute this time has brought many unexpected benefits to Zhong Daoxuan, which makes him, who was already very generous, even more bold.
"Thank you, teacher."
Luo Ziren did not refuse.
The main reason is that he explored the spirit stone veins in the Qingxuan Realm, and filled all the spiritual energy of that set of super-miniature puppets, and he hadn't used it much, so he directly returned it to Zhong Daoxuan.
Anyway, the Zhong family has a big business, so they won't bother with him about this little problem.
It's just a magic weapon worth millions of spirit stone coins.
"There is one more thing, my father wants to accept you as a personal disciple in his personal name."
"This matter should have been said by him himself to be more sincere, but you know, the old man has a good face, I'm afraid that I will be embarrassed by your rejection, let me talk about it first."
Zhong Daoxuan said with a smile.
Luo Ziren was about to speak, Zhong Daoxuan added:
"If you agree, he doesn't mind charging an extra family heirloom, and the quota is naturally reserved for Li Zhiwei."
When Luo Ziren heard this, he immediately had no idea of refusing.
The Yuanying Zhenjun disciple of the Five Great Dao Courtyard has a relatively unique name, called Daozi.
It is said that all Dao Zi are qualified to come into contact with some secret exercises of the Five Great Dao Academy, and the speed of cultivation and knot will be greatly improved!
In fact, even if there was no such thing as a secret technique, just by getting the guidance of Yuanying Zhenjun, the cultivation speed would definitely not be slow.
What's more, this mentor-apprentice relationship is a very important connection.
Luo Ziren is very aware of his situation, compared to his peers, he has no lack of strength, and even meritorious service, but in terms of connections, he is very weak.
When he was in Lingzhou, the two Yuanying Zhenjun, who had beaten him, warned him as a prepared lawbreaker during the night watch, and Long Yuyan directly became a mortal enemy.
If nothing else, the origin of the Immortal Cultivation Research Institute will be the most solid foundation for Luo Ziren.
And the strongest thigh in this foundation is undoubtedly Dean Zhong Beihai.
The most important thing is that in order to win him over, Zhong Beihai is willing to give Li Zhiwei an extra place-
Hey, no!
Luo Ziren suddenly reacted, Zhong Beihai was willing to accept Li Zhiwei as a personal disciple, I am afraid it is not to sell his face at all.
Li Zhiwei is a Heavenly Spirit Root qualification, just turned 17 years old and is a true cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and the natal spirit beast has contracted a dragon, and now he still controls the Broken Spirit Treasure Ice Dragon Neidan.
Add to that the fact that she has the honor of being a champion player.
If there are scoring criteria for the selection of [Daozi], how can Li Zhiwei be regarded as the best among them, right?
I feel misguided!
At this time, Zhong Daoxuan seemed to see Luo Ziren's thoughts, and said with a smile:
"I admit that Li Zhiwei is indeed very good."
"But our Daoist Academy is quite special, and those high-level monks, including my old man, don't like to accept disciples very much."
"It's too much of a waste of energy to cultivate a disciple of the own lineage."
"Although it is a bit unpleasant to say, the fact is that there are many students in their institute who rush to help with day jobs"
Luo Ziren was silent, he had to admit that Zhong Daoxuan's words were very reasonable.
For those great cultivators, there is actually no trouble with positive feedback, and probably only a force like the Long family, which requires a large number of combat personnel, will wantonly accept disciples.
The mentors on the side of the Immortal Cultivation Research Institute are probably a little better than Long Yuyan and the like, and they will not squeeze the lives of their apprentices, but they simply don't accept apprentices!
This is the case with many things in the world, and if you want to be used, you must at least have the value of use.
For Zhong Beihai, an excellent student like Li Zhiwei is not enough to impress him, only Luo Ziren is worth his painstaking planning.
"I see, thank the dean for your kindness for me, I'll think about it."
Luo Ziren was a little reserved.
Zhong Daoxuan didn't mind, waved his hand, and changed the topic:
"Speaking of which, there should be a lot of big forces sending you invitation messages these days, right?"
"I heard that there is a rumor from the pioneer army, and they want to pull you in at all costs to 'fill the army', hehe."
Luo Ziren was slightly stunned when he heard this.
He didn't expect Lan Yan's great-grandfather to be overbearing.
He only rejected Lan Yan in person a few minutes ago, and Zhong Daoxuan actually heard the wind in advance?
This can only show that Lan Yan's great-grandfather deliberately released the news to the outside world without waiting for Lan Yan's reply.
In this way, Luo Ziren's refusal will be like a slap in the face, slapping the other party hard.
Offended people for no reason!
However, Luo Ziren does not regret it, anyway, his principles will not change.
As for the great-grandfather who offended Lan Yan, there was no way to do it.
I hope we don't meet if we don't have anything to do in the future!
"I have turned down the military."
Luo Ziren looked at Zhong Daoxuan, who had a ridiculous look on his face, and said indifferently.
"Ugh"
Zhong Daoxuan's expression froze, and a wry smile appeared on his face:
"That's really sad news."
Obviously, Zhong Daoxuan can also guess what will happen next.
Luo Ziren nodded, reluctant to say more.
"In that case, let's talk about the Five Elements Quenching Method!"
"I'm sure you've heard of this secret method before."
"The reason why the service of using the Five Elements Quenching Method to improve the qualification of the spiritual root is extremely expensive, in addition to the fact that the 'raw material' they need is the third-order demon beast inner pill, they also need a Yuanying True Monarch to personally cast spells and condition!"
"Even if it is not difficult for Yuanying Zhenjun to cast this secret method, at most it will take a day or two to complete the spell."
"But the essence of Yuanying Zhenjun is difficult to measure the value with spirit stone coins, this secret method is not expensive, and it is strange to be a genius!"
Zhong Daoxuan gave the science of science the special features of the Five Elements Quenching Method.
Luo Ziren had learned about these simple information a few years ago, so he was naturally not surprised.
However, Zhong Daoxuan's words reminded him that he needed a Yuanying True Monarch to perform the [Five Elements Quenching Method], so who is the best candidate for this person?
Which Yuanying Zhenjun is trustworthy by Luo Ziren?
Then Luo Ziren thought of Zhong Beihai.
Luo Ziren came back to his senses this time.
Dean Zhong was afraid that he knew that there was this one later, so he deliberately put the matter of accepting apprentices in front of him, so as not to be misunderstood by Luo Ziren as trying to blackmail him or something.
Not necessarily.
Even if Zhong Beihai really used this to blackmail Luo Ziren to apprentice, Luo Ziren felt reasonable and would not think about him anymore.
After all, looking at the entire Zhongjing, the Yuanying Zhenjun that he can barely trust has no one except his own dean.
"So, the one who can really perform the Five Elements Quenching Spirit Method is actually the dean?"
Luo Ziren asked.
Zhong Daoxuan nodded:
"That's right, the [Artificial Five Elements Spirit Root] material refined by the demon beast Neidan, I have prepared it and put it in the old man's place!"
"He is the one who can really cast spells on you."
Zhong Daoxuan persuaded without mince words:
"If you kid is not ready to apprentice, I advise you not to rush to answer him."
"After all, his old man doesn't have a big heart, and it will be troublesome to hold a grudge against you."
Before Luo Ziren could say anything, he saw a small thunderbolt suddenly jump out of the void above Zhong Daoxuan's head, splitting the other party!
Syllable!
The electric light exploded, turning into a piercing crisp sound.
When the surroundings calmed down, Zhong Daoxuan's long hair exploded, and his roots stood up, looking very miserable.
Even so, he kept smiling:
"Look, I'll just say someone is very careful!"
Luo Ziren: "."
He didn't expect that his conversation with Zhong Daoxuan had been overheard by Dean Zhong Beihai.
I didn't expect that Dean Zhong really didn't have a big heart!
Fortunately, Zhong Daoxuan is a real person of Jindan and can afford such a joke.
Changing to a Qi cultivator, it is estimated that his head was blown open by that inconspicuous thunderbolt.
On the bright side, this also proves that Dean Zhong has a strong ability to control spells.
Luo Ziren thought about it and decided to say what he really thought in his heart.
"Dean Zhong is willing to accept apprentices, which is really an honor for me and my junior sister."
"I'll pick a good day another day, prepare a generous gift with my younger sister, and then visit and personally apprentice."
At this time, Luo Ziren did not consult Li Zhiwei's opinion, and directly made a decision for her.
But you don't have to ask to know that Li Zhiwei will most likely not refuse such a good thing.
"Don't bother so much, ahem!"
Luo Ziren didn't expect him to lead the main lord out with a word.
As Zhong Beihai finished speaking, an old figure had already appeared out of thin air in Zhong Daoxuan's office.
I saw him wearing a long robe, like a polite scholar, it was Zhong Beihai, the president of the Immortal Research Institute.
As soon as Zhong Beihai appeared, Zhong Daoxuan smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, causing the old man to cough continuously, which was extremely embarrassing.
"It's none of your business here, get out."
After Zhong Beihai finished coughing, he drove Zhong Daoxuan away with a look of disgust.
Zhong Daoxuan didn't care about him, and directly glanced at Luo Ziren, telling him not to be polite when he should ask for benefits, and then Shi Shiran left.
It's a pity that he seems to have forgotten that his hair was scattered by thunder and lightning, and even if his movements are elegant, his demeanor is not so beautiful.
Luo Ziren endured it so that he didn't laugh.
"Luo Ziren, that, I'll admit it first, I underestimated you before."
Zhong Beihai looked at Luo Ziren's childish handsome face and sighed in his heart.
Who would have thought that this young man would be able to accomplish such an initiative for the Immortal Cultivation Research Institute!
Previously, when Zhong Daoxuan wanted to sell his property to help Luo Ziren get an aura purification instrument, Zhong Beihai didn't quite believe that Luo Ziren could do what he said.
outcome
Raise your eyebrows!
Zhong Beihai has served as the dean of the Xiuxian Research Institute for decades, and for the first time he felt the happiness that the dean should have.
And all of this was brought by Luo Ziren.
Therefore, it is necessary to accept relatives and disciples.
Luo Ziren needs the dean's connections, and Dean Zhong also needs Luo Ziren's living signboard long face.
Both sides should help each other.
This is also the reason why Zhong Beihai's posture is very low.
He knew very well that Luo Ziren didn't really need his guidance.
But it doesn't matter, their master-apprentice relationship, as long as both parties admit it, is enough!
There is no need to dope with anything else at all.
Of course, this is just Zhong Beihai's wishful thinking.
Zhong Daoxuan's previous remarks and tips when he left told Luo Ziren that he should not be polite to the old man, and he should not ask for less benefits!
Not to mention anything else, the fact that Luo Ziren helped the Immortal Cultivation Research Institute to seize control of the Four Elephant Divine Prison Secret Realm World was enough for Zhong Beihai to reward him with an extra wave.
……
In the past two days, my family and I have taken turns to have a high fever, so I asked for leave. I originally wrote a leave note to explain the situation, but I didn't send it out in a daze, sorry. (End of chapter)
