Chapter 1: Rejection of apprenticeship
Tianyudu County, located in the Nanling area, has a vast territory of more than 70,000 hectares and a population of hundreds of thousands.
Its business is extremely prosperous, and its annual tax revenue is as high as 10 million yuan, which is enough to make the city's residents live without worry for decades.
This has made many clans coveted, and they all want to occupy more than 70,000 hectares of county town and occupy one acre and three points of land, thus causing an unprecedented grand situation of clans.
This has attracted many people to ridicule, saying that Tianyu Prefecture is a place where there are more clans than dogs.
The county town is a prosperous area, criss-crossing streets, pedestrians, cars and horses, and people.
"Hey, isn't that the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Chuyun, Xiao Da Waste?"
Pedestrians in a hurry stopped one after another, and their eyes converged on a young man.
He is not dressed luxuriously, only a white robe, not tall, medium in stature, and his immature face is not handsome, but it is still beautiful and attractive.
The young man named Xiao Chuyun looked calm and not timid, but observed those pedestrians.
I saw that those passers-by who didn't know him and had no intersection were pointing at him, talking to each other from time to time, and ridiculing him on the surface.
Waste people, no matter where they are, are treated the same.
The young man named Xiao Chuyun, seeing such a scene, clenched his white and tender fists tightly, and his face was bitter.
Not being looked down upon, at least being treated fairly like ordinary people, such a requirement is not high, but it is a luxury for him.
The reason why these people sneered at him was because he was a waste person with only a first-class bloodline.
This is true of the clansmen, and the same is true of outsiders, he has long been accustomed to it, and he quickly controls his emotions.
"If you want to be respected by others, the only way to do this is to join Dange, and that's the only way out. Only by joining the Dan Pavilion can you get acquainted with the great masters of alchemy, please use them to refine the elixir that solves the evil poison for the patriarch Grandpa. ”
Xiao Chuyun secretly cheered himself up, and turned to look ahead, a magnificent high-rise building came into view, fifteen stories high, above the magnificent gate, there was a plaque, on which the word 'Dange' was written, and one stroke at a time, there was a tense tenseness.
A doorman stood under the plaque, glanced at Xiao Chuyun, and said coldly: "Young Master Xiao, what are you doing when you come to Dange." ”
"Master Yanqi once promised to take me as an apprentice when I was fifteen years old, and now that I have reached the appointed age, I have come to Dange to apprentice, and I will be troubled to report it. Xiao Chuyun clasped his fists with both hands, explaining the purpose of his trip.
"Apprentice, my master has made such a promise?"
The doorman knew his intention, and couldn't help but sneer secretly, a waste person still wants to worship my master as a teacher, it's really a toad who wants to be a swan meat, wishful thinking, stay outside you.
Xiao Chuyun didn't expect that when Yanqi promised to accept him as an apprentice, this doorman was also present, and he shouldn't forget it.
"I still have the token given by the Master of the Extension Weapon on my body. ”
Even though he felt strange, Xiao Chuyun endured it without asking, took out a square scarf made of fine silk from his sleeve, opened it carefully, and a square copper token printed with the word 'Dan' jumped in front of him.
The pedestrians who stopped to watch stepped forward one after another, wanting to confirm the authenticity of the token, and when they saw its appearance, they were surprised: "If it is really the bronze order of the Dan Pavilion, good guy, could it be that the master of Yanqi really wants to accept him as an apprentice?"
This surprise is not accidental.
Yan Qi, the founder of the Dan Pavilion, is a four-star alchemist himself, and he has another layer of identity, the vice president of the Pharmacist Alliance's branch in Tianyudu County, a big man with hands and eyes!
The Dan Pavilion he founded single-handedly has a prestige far above the three major families.
The bronze order in Xiao Chuyun's hand is the token of the Dan Pavilion, representing the highest authority of the Dan Pavilion, and with this token, he can basically walk sideways in Tianyu Prefecture.
As soon as this token came out, it attracted a lot of criticism.
Xiao Chuyun is a disciple of a family, and it is difficult for ordinary people to compare, so it is not surprising that he was chosen by the master of Yanqi.
However, what he awakened was a first-level bloodline, a waste known to everyone in Tianyu Prefecture.
If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't a disciple of the family, he would be no different from ordinary pariahs in Tianyu Prefecture.
Even the smallest county town has no place to live, let alone become an apprentice of the master of Yanqi.
"Xiao Chuyun!" Just as everyone was in shock, the doorman suddenly shouted angrily and said sharply: "You are so bold, not only do you make things up, but you also dare to steal things from Dange!"
That token was not given by the Master of Yanqi, but stolen by Xiao Chuyun?
Immediately afterwards, these passers-by, who were all related to him, showed sarcasm on their faces.
"It's so shameless, for the sake of apprenticeship, even such things are done. ”
"Tsk, yes! It's really a long insight, the Xiao family not only has a waste, but also a thief who steals things. ”
Those prickly words made Xiao Chuyun's face ugly.
These people who don't know the truth of the matter, don't know what happened, and just rely on the doorman's unverifiable remarks, they make indiscriminate accusations against him, which is really hateful.
Reasoning with the barbarians, only himself suffers, Xiao Chuyun is not so stupid.
His eyes were fixed on the doorman, who was making a smug expression at him, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the doorman was making things difficult for him.
"I, Xiao Chuyun, asked myself if I hadn't done anything wrong, and I didn't care about stealing, how could I steal the things of the Dan Pavilion. If you let the master of the extension instrument come out to confront you, you will naturally be able to figure out the right and wrong in black and white, how did I get this token. ”
Xiao Chuyun didn't want to entangle with the doorman, and if he wanted to be innocent, he had to ask the master of Yanqi to come out.
Yanqi is a master and highly respected, and he will not be wronged.
"Confront?" The sarcasm on the doorman's face deepened a little, and said, "Young Master Xiao, take a good picture of the pee, what are you, and what qualifications do you have for my master to come out and confront him?"
Even if the patriarch of the Xiao family comes in person, he may not be able to meet his master, and he needs to make an appointment in advance to have the opportunity to meet.
And Xiao Chuyun is just a descendant of the Xiao family, or a wasted person, how can he see Master Yanqi when he sees him?
Encountering such a shameful laugh, Xiao Chuyun's immature face turned red with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't return my innocence today, tomorrow, my grandfather will definitely visit Dan Pavilion in person and ask for an explanation." ”
A thief who steals things, he Xiao Chuyun can't bear such a stigma, he can't smear the reputation of the Xiao family.
The doorman laughed secretly, this Xiao Chuyun really doesn't know what to do, and it doesn't hurt to make any more fools with him.
Just as he was about to speak, suddenly a hand was pressed on his shoulder, and the doorman turned to see an old man in a purple and gold robe standing beside him.
The old man's hair was white, he was not angry and arrogant, and his cloudy eyes swept over everyone, and the strong sense of oppression was suffocating.
At that moment, all the sarcastic words of the doorman were swallowed back into his belly by him, and he said in awe: "Master!"
"Master of the Extendor. ”
The sneer on the face of the pedestrian who stopped suddenly subsided, and was replaced by respect, kneeling humbly on his knees, his hands on the ground, and his forehead on the back of his hand, and bowing down, as humble as dust before the master.
Such a scene, Yanqi has become commonplace, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to salute, get up." ”
More than 1,000 people on the field breathed a sigh of relief, got up humbly, and were cautious, not daring to make the slightest sound.
"What's going on, why is it so noisy?" asked the doorman with a hint of displeasure in his words.
"Master, it's Xiao Chuyun who came to apprentice. The doorman smiled contemptuously and muttered, "A wasted person, I really don't know what to do." ”
"The younger generation has seen the master of the Yanqi. Xiao Chuyun took a step forward, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted.
"It turned out to be Young Master Xiao. Yanqi glanced at him and said, "The old man is busy with affairs, and there is nothing important, so please go back." ”
"Something. Xiao Chuyun spread out the token and said, "Master, have you ever remembered that this token was given by you when you promised to accept me as an apprentice." ”
"It's a token from the old man, that's right. Yanqi nodded slightly and said.
"Since the master remembers, the juniors need you to administer justice. Xiao Chuyun looked at the doorman and said, "Someone slandered the juniors, this token was stolen by me......
"Young Master Xiao. Yanqi interrupted his words, and said indifferently: "Dange is busy with affairs, and it is normal for you to forget such a trivial matter." ”
Xiao Chuyun didn't expect that he was slandered and humiliated, and now it's over with a normal sentence?
"Zuo Shan, think about it for an hour, don't make such small mistakes in the future. Yanqi turned his head to look at the doorman and said.
"Yes, Master. The doorman smiled and turned to enter the Dan Pavilion.
Facing the wall for an hour, it is just a cup of tea, where can it be regarded as a punishment.
As a person from Dange, how could Yanqi punish him heavily for an outsider, just to save face.
"Young Master Xiao is satisfied with such a result?" Yanqi laughed softly: "If you are satisfied, please go back." ”
Xiao Chuyun's fists tightened a little, what if he was not satisfied, could he still lift the Dan Pavilion?
"The juniors are here today to apprentice. Endure the calm for a while, Xiao Chuyun gritted his teeth and swallowed that breath, explaining the purpose of this trip.
"Young Master Xiao, Dan Pavilion has always been strict in accepting apprentices, and you must participate in the selection competition held by Dan Pavilion and get the top fifty results before you can join Dan Pavilion. ”
A hint of playfulness flashed in Yanqi's cloudy eyes, and there was a hint of playfulness in his words.
Xiao Chuyun immediately responded: "The master once promised my grandfather that he would take me as an apprentice after I was fifteen years old, do you want to break your promise?"
"Young Master Xiao, if you want to become an alchemist, you must have a high-level bloodline power. A strange person like you, who only has the power of a first-level bloodline, is not suitable for alchemy, and the original sentence was just a small joke and cannot be taken seriously. ”
Yanqi accentuated his tone when he said the word "strange person", and did not hide his dislike for Xiao Chuyun.
"You'd rather be infamous than take me as an apprentice, all because the power of my bloodline is only one level. ”
Xiao Chuyun thoroughly understood that Yanqi had no intention of taking him as an apprentice from the beginning, and he was treated as a monkey throughout the whole process, and the people in Dange were all monkey tricksters.
What makes people even more angry is that as a master, how can you lose your trust in others.
"Since you can understand the meaning of this seat, then don't bother with it anymore, let's go. ”
Yanqi waved his hand, no longer looked at Xiao Chuyun, and turned around and walked into the Dan Pavilion.
Cruelly rejecting a person, Yanqi did not have a trace of shame in his heart.
When he promised to accept the apprentices, Xiao Chuyun had not yet awakened his bloodline.
According to his descendant status, the concentration of bloodlines is not low, and the awakened bloodlines will definitely not be too bad, and it is also for the sake of having a good mouth, boasting about Haikou and promising to accept apprentices.
Unexpectedly, this guy has awakened a first-level bloodline, and he is a wasted person.
can enter the Dan Pavilion, which one is not a dragon and phoenix among people.
And his apprentice is the dragon of dragons and the phoenix of phoenixes.
Wouldn't taking a wasted man as a disciple detract from his prestige?
"A waste person with a first-level bloodline also wants to worship the master of Yanqi as a teacher, and he doesn't pee and take good care of himself. ”
Bloodline is the foundation of pulse cultivation.
The higher the bloodline level, the higher the compatibility with spiritual power, the faster the cultivation speed, and the more terrifying the combat power.
The lower the bloodline level, the slower the cultivation and the lower the combat power exerted.
The first-level bloodline is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
In the world of pulse cultivation, it is no different from a wasted person.
The mocking laughter was like a sharp knife, stabbing him in the heart.
He was a victim, but instead of receiving sympathy, he was also branded as a toad who wanted to eat swan meat.
And the so-called respected master, who broke his promise, was actually understood and comforted by others.
Xiao Chuyun's gaze swept from the crowd.
The sneering faces and vicious and mean words gave him a deep understanding of this indifferent world.
The identity of the young master of the Xiao family did not win him respect, but attracted more ridicule.
This is all because he is a wasted person with only one level of bloodline power.
If he could control the other two bloodlines in his body, would these people still dare to laugh at him for being a waste?
"Wantonly trampling on the dignity of others, such a person is a teacher in vain, and he doesn't worship it. ”
Xiao Chuyun's face was indifferent, and he turned around and left coldly.
Everywhere they went, the pedestrians consciously moved out of the way, and they felt a chill from Xiao Chuyun's heart.
This kind of humiliation will never be forgotten for the rest of his life.
