Chapter Fifty-Seven: Master Ge Dan
Nie Xuan stared at Lin Jing and blinked slightly, with his understanding of Aunt Jing, the latter rarely showed such a serious look, it seems that this matter is not simple.
Aunt Jing said that the source seed in her body was extremely powerful, so did it also mean that her father and mother were also powerful cultivators? But even so, they still disappeared suddenly.
What really happened back then?
Nie Xuan nodded lightly and said, "I'll keep it a secret." ”
Lin Jing nodded with satisfaction, then rubbed his head and said with a smile: "You ask these things, is it because the source seed in your body has opened up?"
"Well, the white source species was sealed, so it remained the same, but the black source species has been growing, although it has not been completely opened up, but it has been able to use some of its strength. Nie Xuan smiled slightly and said.
"Black Source...... Very good, although cultivating the spiritual source can make you feel like a tiger and become extraordinarily powerful, but many times, what hinders a person's growth is precisely the arrogance that comes with being powerful. There are many geniuses for cultivators, but few of them are as good as morning stars when they finally stand at the top. ”
Lin Jing smiled faintly and taught seriously: "You have to understand that there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains. If you want to be truly strong, you must have the ability to overcome obstacles and persevere. ”
"I see, Aunt Jing. ”
Lin Jing nodded, and said with a satisfied face: "By the way, you should have been exposed to spirit patterns when you entered the inner courtyard, right?" You have a good talent for spirit patterns since you were a child, if you don't dig carefully, it will be a bit of a waste." Recently, I will take you to visit a Spirit Pattern Master and beg him to teach you. ”
"Spirit Pattern Master?"
Nie Xuan was stunned, and then asked curiously, "I don't know which one?"
Lin Jing smiled slightly, a touch of mystery appeared on her pretty face, she coughed lightly, and then said a little slowly: "Danzhou City, Master Ge Dan." ”
"Master Gedan?"
Hearing this name, Nie Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, and soon a thick surprise appeared in his black eyes like a starry sky.
Master Ge Dan is famous in the southeast land, and is deeply respected by countless people, even the dean of Tianhai Academy has a lot of respect for him, and once invited him and some spirit pattern masters under his name to arrange a huge spirit pattern enchantment in the sky above Danzhou City to protect the safety of the people.
Over the years, Danzhou City has rarely been attacked by demon beasts, and there is a great reason for that enchantment. And Nie Xuan's teacher in the inner courtyard, Hu Wei, was also one of Master Ge Dan's many disciples.
Lin Jing said that he wanted Nie Xuan to learn the spirit pattern, obviously not for fun, after staying in Chiyun Ling for two days, Lin Jing took him to Danzhou to visit the legendary Master Ge Dan.
Coming to Danzhou City again, it was still so prosperous and lively, Nie Xuan looked at the familiar roads and buildings around him, and smiled a little helplessly, but he didn't expect that he would turn back again as soon as he returned to Chiyunling.
Walking on the lively street, Lin Jing glanced at the endless crowd in front of him, then turned his head and smiled at Nie Xuan: "In the southeast land, there are many people who want to worship Ge Dan as a teacher, but the people who have entered his door to receive teachings have only added up to dozens over the years, and it can be seen from this that Ge Dan has strict conditions for recruiting disciples." ”
"Although I can rely on a little thin noodles to give you the opportunity to meet him, if you want to really become his disciple, you still have to pass his qualification assessment, so don't be careless. Lin Jing admonished.
Nie Xuan nodded slightly.
In his heart, he was also curious about that Master Ge Dan.
Seeing the solemn look on his face, Lin Jing suddenly smiled lightly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Having said that, don't be too nervous, just be normal." ”
The two talked all the way, and soon passed through several lively streets to a large mansion in the west of Danzhou City.
This mansion occupies a very wide area, adjacent to the city lord's mansion of Danzhou City, and is very spectacularly built, with two stone lions and guards at the door, and the whole has a sense of atmosphere. This is where Master Ge Dan lives, and likewise, it is also the place where he teaches his disciples and trades, the Spirit Pattern Pavilion.
Here, outsiders can buy all kinds of spirit patterns.
"Excuse me, is Master Ge Dan in the mansion?" Lin Jing stepped forward and asked.
"Do you have an invitation to meet Master Godan?" the guard asked.
Lin Jing shook his head and chuckled: "There has never been an invitation, but I made an appointment with him before, you go and tell him, just say that Lin Jing from the Red Cloud Collar came to visit." ”
"Please wait. ”
The guard nodded slightly, then turned and trotted away.
Just as Lin Jing was waiting outside the mansion, at the corner of the road, two young men and a purple-clothed girl suddenly appeared, walking over slowly, talking to each other.
"Hehe, looking at this again, they are here to apprentice, don't they know that if they want to meet the teacher, they must go to the guild to test their qualifications and successfully pass the test? ”
"Maybe I'm lost. In fact, it is normal, I don't know how many people want to worship the teacher as a teacher in the southeast land, and there are not a thousand stunned young people who get lost every year, but hundreds. But this kid in front of him is actually an Aiya tribesman, it's really a bit peculiar, maybe he's here to try his luck, right?"
While they were talking, they had gradually come to Lin Jing's face, and the purple-clothed girl raised her chin and asked softly, "Are you here to apprentice?" If so, please go to the guild to test your talent and qualifications first. If you don't pass the level, the guards won't let you enter the house. ”
"Are you?" Lin Jing looked curious.
A young man next to him hurriedly said: "She is the daughter of Master Ge Dan, Ge Yu'er, and also our junior sister." ”
"It turned out to be Miss Ge, Jiu Yang. Lin Jing smiled slightly and said.
Hearing the envy and respect in the words of the people around her, Ge Yu'er nodded lightly, with a sense of pride in her chest, like a proud white swan, and stepped into the house.
As the only daughter of Master Ge Dan, Ge Yu'er has a lot of talent for spirit patterns, and she was born quite beautiful, under her father's aura and protection, she is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling people in this spirit pattern hall. Just now she saw that Lin Jing was dressed and looked good, so she had the heart to compare and talk to her.
It's just that before entering the mansion, she suddenly turned her head to look at it and whispered-
"Maybe I should give you a piece of advice, the spirit pattern is extremely profound, although it doesn't require too much aura, but the requirements for qualifications are higher. If you don't have enough talent, don't have this kind of unrealistic dream, and it's okay to become an ordinary person. ”
"This guy. ”
Seeing the girl's figure gradually moving away, Nie Xuan clenched his fists lightly, and a touch of anger appeared on his face, although Ge Yu'er's words were polite, but the meaning was very clear.
The contemptuous eyes seemed to say that if he wanted to learn the spirit pattern from the teacher, it was simply wishful thinking.
"Hehe, it looks like someone doesn't believe you. In that case, you need to do your best. Lin Jing smiled lightly, and her pretty face was not angry because of the girl's words.
She has an excellent cultivation and is generous and decent, which is perfectly interpreted in Lin Jing.
Afterwards, they continued to wait outside the house. After a while, the guard returned and invited them into the mansion, and they walked through the wide white courtyard, through the corridors and rocks, and on the way they met many disciples and guests of the Spirit Pattern Pavilion, some of whom were obviously trading Spirit Patterns.
The Spirit Pattern Pavilion, unlike other places, only entertains a few distinguished guests. If you want to enter it, you often need to make an appointment by invitation, and many people are proud to enter the Spirit Pattern Pavilion.
Under the leadership of the guard, Lin Jing and the others came to a hall, where many disciples were cultivating spirit patterns and listening to Master Ge Dan explain the knowledge of spirit patterns.
And Ge Yu'er was sitting in the group of disciples before, and when she saw Lin Jing and the others coming from outside the door, there was a look of doubt on her pretty face, "Why did they come in?"
"Master Ge Dan, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come here unharmed. Stepping into the hall, Lin Jing arched her hand lightly and said with a smile.
"Hehe, it turned out to be Miss Lin Jing. After so long, Miss Lin is still radiant. The old man has been waiting for a long time, presumably this is the young master Nie Xuan of the Chiyun Collar next to you, right?" Ge Dan couldn't help but stand up, and also hugged his fists lightly, and said with a smile.
"I've seen Master Gedan. Nie Xuan saluted.
The Master of the Four Spiritual Patterns, Ge Dan, is a middle-aged man wearing a simple gray robe and a black beard, his five officials are upright, his appearance is elegant, he has a bookish atmosphere, his temperament is fluttering, and he has a gentle smile on his face, which makes it easy for others to have a good impression.
After some pleasantries, they sat down in the hall and talked to Ge Dan about this apprenticeship under the surprised and curious eyes of many disciples around them. The latter faced the requirements of Chiyun Ling, and he did not relax the talent requirements of the assessment at all, and asked Nie Xuan to conduct the qualification appraisal related to the spirit pattern.
"That kid is actually the young master of the Red Cloud Collar, and the one next to him is the famous Lin Jing...... It's over, I'm too reckless to talk this time. ”
Lin Jing, whose beautiful eyes were not far away, swept the two, Ge Yuer's face was a little red, and she couldn't help but bury her head low, for fear that the other two would recognize her, and thought in her heart.
Ge Yu'er never thought that the two people she had despised outside the mansion before would have such a big background and identity, and if her father knew, she would definitely be scolded.
You must know that although their Spirit Pattern Pavilion has a high status and a lot of financial resources, it is nothing compared to the behemoth-like forces like the Red Cloud Collar.
Ge Dan looked at Nie Xuan, who was sitting not far from the left, smiled slightly, and said, "I heard that kid Hu Wei say that your talent in spirit patterns is extremely high, can you try it now?"
"Of course you can, I don't know how to test it?" Nie Xuan nodded and said with a smile.
"It's easy. There is a pen and paper in front of you, you only need to draw the spirit pattern you are good at on it, and I will naturally identify it based on your spirit pattern level. Ge Dan stroked his beard and smiled.
"Engraved spirit pattern. Glancing at the pen and ink in front of him, Nie Xuan smiled lightly, looking calm and calm, and immediately raised his hand and grabbed the brush.
