Chapter 33: Apprenticeship
In the blink of an eye, the period of January has arrived, and today is the date set by Tian Yuling to temporarily leave the customs, and Li Yuan and his senior sister Die'er came to the cave hall early to wait.
Although Li Yuan once told Die'er that she would definitely be able to pass the test of her master Tian Yuling, Die'er was still faintly worried.
In order to let Li Yuan concentrate on learning alchemy, he only came to Li Yuan twice, although he only got along a few times, the relationship between the two was much closer.
At this moment, in the hall of the cave mansion, Die'er looked at Li Yuan expectantly, hoping to get a positive answer from him, so she asked with concern: "Senior brother, how are you preparing?"
Li Yuan smiled heartily and said confidently: "Senior sister, don't worry! Senior brother will definitely be able to pass the test and become a true disciple of our master!"
After receiving Li Yuan's affirmative Q&A, Die'er smiled and said simply: "Senior brother, I believe in you!"
In just a few words, Li Yuan felt a little heavy inexplicably, and then smiled at him and stopped talking.
It didn't take long for Tian Yuling's proud figure to appear in the hall, and Die'er immediately shouted in surprise when she saw this: "Master!"
I haven't seen my close-fitting little padded jacket for a month, and Tian Yuling misses the feeling of Butterfly's gentle little hands rubbing on her body.
I was about to step forward to say something, but I heard Li Yuan shouting respectfully: "I've seen Master!"
Tian Yuling reacted, instantly changed his expression and asked Li Yuan seriously, "How have you studied these days?"
Li Yuan's expression immediately straightened, and Cheng Zhu said in his chest: "The disciple does not dare to live up to the high expectations of the master, and he has finally made some progress after hard study day and night, just waiting for the test of the master!"
Tian Yuling secretly slandered, I hope you will quickly live up to my high expectations, and then get out of the way, don't you see that you are too much of a hindrance!
Then I thought to myself, I must find fault with it later, and then send it away quickly!
"Okay, this test, you will refine a furnace of Bigu Dan! Die'er, you go and get some elixir for refining Bigu Dan!"
"Yes, Master!" Die'er finished speaking, and hurriedly ran to the stone room where the elixir was stored not far away, and quickly picked up the elixir.
Then Tian Yuling said impatiently: "Let's go, go to the alchemy room!"
......
In the alchemy room, at this time, Li Yuan first controlled the flame to preheat the Dan furnace according to the description of the Bigu Dan Dan Fang.
Bigu Dan refining is not difficult, as long as there is a certain basic knowledge of alchemy, the monks of the fifth level of Qi cultivation can basically try it.
Because only cultivators who have cultivated qi at the fifth level or above have enough mana to maintain the consumption of the entire alchemy process, of course, refining the Bigu Pill is a breeze for Li Yuan, after all, the primary alchemy at the division level is not an ornament.
But Li Yuan didn't dare to be too eye-catching, and his methods were jerky and barely refined.
So the whole process of alchemy in Li Yuan made Tian Yuling and Die'er's hearts rise to the throat, but of course, the thoughts in the hearts of the two of them were very different.
Tian Yuling naturally didn't want Li Yuan to stay, not to mention that Li Yuan was a male disciple, he and Die'er were both female cultivators, with his usual charming and cold image in the eyes of other fellow disciples, he suddenly accepted a male disciple, and someone must chew the root of his tongue behind his back.
Just said that Li Yuan hindered himself and Die'er from expressing their deep feelings for master and apprentice to each other in a special way, Tian Yuling wished that he would leave earlier.
On the other hand, after getting along with Li Yuan during this time, she gradually developed a trace of trust in Li Yuan, and naturally did not want Li Yuan's refining to fail.
The two of them stared at every step of Li Yuan's refining with different thoughts, Tian Yuling turned around every time he saw Li Yuan at the moment of imminent failure, and gritted his teeth with hatred, but Die'er was excited.
After a few times like this, Tian Yuling finally noticed Die'er's sometimes nervous, sometimes excited expression, and a faint sense of crisis rose in his heart, no, Li Yuan must not be allowed to stay!
At this time, Li Yuan's refining was nearing the end, but Tian Yuling could only watch with a blank eye, and hurriedly racked his brains to think about countermeasures?
In the end, he was ruthless, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, and directly said that he had no talent for alchemy, and sent him away!
With a bang, the lid of the Dan furnace opened a hole, and the pill flew down on Li Yuan's palm.
Before Tian Yuling could speak, Die'er shouted excitedly with stars in her eyes: "Senior brother is really powerful, he has successfully refined Bigu Dan in just one month!"
These words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, slashing hard at Tian Yuling's heart, and suddenly made her want to cry without tears, her own apprentices have praised it like this, what else can she do!
Although this Li Yuan's alchemy talent is really amazing, when he thinks that his little cabbage is about to be arched by him, his mood is extremely bad in an instant.
Hearing that Die'er did not shy away from praising herself, Li Yuan smiled: "Thanks to the blessing of the senior sister, the junior brother will not disgrace the mission!"
Then Li Yuan looked at Tian Yuling, who was sluggish, and smiled secretly in his heart, but looked at the other party with a blank look on his face and said, "Master, disciple, can this be regarded as passing?"
Tian Yuling was angry and rolled his eyes, and now he could only reluctantly accept this fact: "Okay, let's talk about the apprenticeship tomorrow, you can leave by yourself first!"
......
After Li Yuan left, Tian Yuling stared at Die'er directly, Die'er suddenly felt a little weak, and asked weakly: "Master, are you still okay?"
Tian Yuling didn't answer, just sighed faintly, and said meaningfully: "Grown up!"
Die'er was confused, looking at her master innocently.
"Alright, I'll go back to retreat tomorrow!
Die'er smiled when she heard this, and before she could speak, she heard Tian Yuling say again: "It's still too early before night, but Master, I can't wait, I'll go now!"
Yubi pulled Butterfly and rushed to his boudoir impatiently.
Because Tian Yuling had not been in retreat at the moment, Li Yuan did not choose to make talismans after returning to his residence, for fear of being discovered by him.
Li Yuan, who was bored, decided to go out for a walk, so he went out of the room and walked around the cave, but he never found Tian Yuling and Die'er, and he couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart!
In the blink of an eye, it was night, and on the luxurious and comfortable bed in Tian Yuling's boudoir, there were two half-clad and graceful bodies, which were Tian Yuling and Die'er!
I only heard Tian Yuling say with a face full of enjoyment: "Die'er, your massage skills are becoming more and more exquisite, I really don't know which monk will be lucky enough to marry our Die'er in the future!"
Die'er Jiao laughed, and said a little unhappily: "The disciple should not marry, he must serve the master for a lifetime!"
"Really, I'm afraid that when you have a lover, you'll forget about your master!" Tian Yuling teased.
"No, the master is the disciple's only relative, and the disciple will not forget it!" said Die'er with an oath.
Tian Yuling heard this, and asked quips, "What about your junior brother Li Yuan?"
"He?" Die'er couldn't help but recall the days she spent with Li Yuan during this time, and she was slightly distracted.
"How is it, do you like him?" Tian Yuling took the opportunity to ask.
"I like it, my brother is so good..."
Immediately reacted to the meaning of Tian Yuling's words, and said with disgust: "Master, what I said about liking is not that kind of liking!"
Tian Yuling stared at Die'er sideways and said, "Really?"
Die'er seemed to be a little anxious, and hurriedly denied it: "Of course it's true! ”
Tian Yuling let out an undeniable "oh", and he didn't speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Die'er had nothing to say, and the scenes of getting along with Li Yuan appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but have a trace of doubt about herself.
After being silent for a long time, Tian Yuling suddenly laughed and slapped Die'er's buttocks, and the two immediately laughed and played like close friends.
On the second day, Li Yuan was summoned to the hall of the cave by Tian Yuling, looking at the new disciple in front of him, Tian Yuling had mixed feelings in his heart, and then his face turned straight, and he said solemnly:
"Li Yuan, since you have passed the test, you will naturally not break your word as a teacher! But as a teacher, you still have to ask clearly, do you sincerely worship me as a teacher?"
Li Yuan hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The disciple is really willing to worship the master as a teacher, learn the art of alchemy, and hope that the master will be fulfilled!"
Tian Yuling nodded and said, "Okay! Then you will be the second disciple of the teacher from now on, and you must not slack off in the future, whether you are cultivating or alchemy! And remember not to be evil, otherwise the teacher will not spare you!"
"Yes, the disciple obeys!" Li Yuanyi replied rhetorically.
"Get up, go to the Alchemy Hall with your teacher!"
Li Yuan replied yes and stood up, and under Die'er's joyful gaze, he was led out of the cave mansion by Tian Yuling.
Tian Yuling sacrificed a leaf-shaped flying magic weapon that could ride several people, and instructed Li Yuan: "Come up!"
When Li Yuancheng boarded the flying boat in fear, he drove the magic weapon to the Alchemy Hall, and suddenly she asked meaningfully, "How are you getting along with your senior sister during this time?"
Li Yuan's face was as usual, and he replied pretending not to know what he meant: "Back to Master's words, the disciple and the senior sister get along harmoniously, and there are no gaps and contradictions. ”
Tian Yuling was silent for a while, and then said something that made Li Yuan confused.
"Your senior sister is simple by nature, and I can see that she is very interested in this junior brother... Quite a good impression. In the future, if you are a teacher and can't take care of it, you must protect her, otherwise you won't be able to spare you!"
Saying that, Tian Yuling's mood was a little low, as if he had thought of something unhappy, and a trace of worry flashed on his face.
Li Yuan was surprised, and was about to ask the reason, but found that he had arrived at the door of the Alchemy Hall, and under Tian Yuling's signal, Li Yuan got off the flying magic weapon, and then followed Tian Yuling into the Alchemy Hall.
There is a clear rule in the Hidden Spirit Valley that if a monk above the foundation period accepts disciples, he needs to register at the entrance of each peak hall to facilitate the management of the sect.
Tian Yuling brought Li Yuan here for exactly this purpose, and along the way, Tian Yuling didn't know how many disciples he had attracted the attention, so that Li Yuan was also envied by many disciples.
Many Qi cultivation disciples did not know Tian Yuling, and although they sighed at its beauty, they did not have other thoughts.
And in addition to the Qi cultivation disciples here, there are also many core disciples in the foundation building period.
Tian Yuling's beauty and beauty have long been known among the core disciples, but they all know that although she is charming, she is cold and arrogant by nature, and she disdains other male disciples.
Now she was followed by an ordinary-looking Qi cultivation disciple, which made the other core disciples full of curiosity.
At this moment, a female disciple who was familiar with Tian Yuling stopped the two and asked, "Senior Sister Tian, are you going?"
Tian Yuling smiled and said, "Senior Sister Mu hasn't seen you for a long time! Senior Sister is going to handle some things." ”
Senior Sister Mu showed an expression that was the same, then pointed at Li Yuan and asked, "This is?"
"Oh! This is the disciple that Senior Sister has just accepted. ”
Tian Yuling said with an unchanged face, and then seemed unwilling to delay and continued: "Senior sister, I will take the apprentice to register first, and then I will leave first!"
"That's... Senior Sister Slow Down!" Senior Sister Mu, who was relieved from the shock, said.
After Tian Yuling took Li Yuan for a distance, Tian Yuling suddenly asked Li Yuan, "What do you think of this Uncle Mu just now?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and replied without thinking: "This Uncle Mu is humble, and he is even more respectful to the master!"
"Wrong! What you see is only the appearance of hypocrisy, and now she may be chewing on the tongue of the other disciples as a teacher!"
After finishing speaking, he no longer paid attention to Li Yuan, and walked to the pavilion of the Alchemy Hall to handle things.
