Chapter 400: The Second Apprenticeship
Qiao Yuan's eyelids couldn't help jumping when he heard Zhan Yuan say two conditions, and secretly said in his heart that there is really no free lunch in this world, but his face was silent, and he hurriedly asked.
"Grandpa Zhan, please speak. ”
"Hey...... You also know these two conditions, and the old man has mentioned them to you several times. ”
Originally, Zhan Yuan had a solemn look, but suddenly he became out of tune again, and looked at Qiao Yuan and said with bad intentions.
When Qiao Yuan heard this, his expression froze, and he immediately understood what Zhanyuan's two conditions were.
This first condition must be for him to marry Zhan Yao, and the second condition should be for Qiao Yuan to worship Zhan Yuan as a teacher.
"Grandpa Zhan!"
Qiao Yuan looked embarrassed, lowered his head and shouted.
"Stinky boy, what kind of expression do you have, what's wrong with Yao'er?"
Zhan Yuan frowned, and said with a hint of anger on his face, it must be unbearable for anyone's precious granddaughter to be so despised.
"In the past, she couldn't cultivate, she was just a mortal, and it was understandable for you to refuse, but now that Yao'er has recovered her body, she can already cultivate, and her qualifications are also excellent, isn't this worthy of you?"
"Grandpa Zhan, I didn't mean that, it's just that Xiao Yao is too young, I have always treated her as my own sister, and I have never thought about anything else. ”
Qiao Yuan waved his hand and explained anxiously.
In fact, Zhan Yao is excellent in terms of appearance, qualifications, and temperament, but she is too young, and Qiao Yuan has no idea about her at all.
And the two have lived together for a long time, Qiao Yuan has almost watched Zhan Yao grow up day by day, and for a long time, he only has love for Zhan Yao like a brother.
"What about being young? Yao'er doesn't know that she won't grow up, besides, it's normal for me and other immortal cultivators to live for thousands or hundreds of years, you and Yao'er still have a long way to go, who can say that you won't have feelings in the future?"
Zhan Yuan was very unimpressed by Qiao Yuan's reason, he had lived for too long, he had seen all kinds of people, and he thought that as long as Qiao Yuan and Zhan Yao got along for a long time, it was inevitable that they would fall in love over time.
In fact, if Qiao Yuan had no one in his heart and kept getting along with Zhan Yao, maybe he would really be like Zhan Yuan said, but unfortunately he had already entered two women in his heart, and he really couldn't tolerate a third person.
"That's it, you will give me an answer when the old man comes back, Yao'er will have grown up by then, maybe your kid will still beg the old man to marry Yao'er to you." ”
Although Zhan Yao is only thirteen years old, her immature face has already shown the potential of a city, so Zhan Yuan will say with such confidence.
Qiao Yuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, and was about to show his attitude, otherwise when Zhanyuan came back in the future, he still wouldn't agree, I'm afraid it would really anger this grandfather who loves his granddaughter.
"The first condition is temporarily put down, and this second condition, let you worship the old man as a teacher, you can always agree. ”
Before Qiao Yuan could speak, Zhan Yuan took the first step and said.
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Yuan looked hesitant and embarrassed again.
As soon as Zhan Yuan saw Qiao Yuan's expression, his brows furrowed, and a wave of anger suddenly appeared in his heart.
It was the first time in his life that he was frequently rejected by a junior, and this kind of thing really made him a little difficult to accept.
"If you don't agree, don't think about the way to form a perfect golden pill, and leave here for the old man tomorrow. ”
Qiao Yuan looked at Zhan Yuan's angry face, and also felt that he was a little too faceless, after all, Zhan Yuan had to go to other continents to take risks for himself.
After thinking about it, Qiao Yuan showed a trace of guilt on his face, lowered his head and said.
"Xiaoyuan is willing to worship Grandpa Zhan as a teacher. ”
"Hmph! There is no sincerity at all. ”
This unobtrusive old man was already happy in his heart, but he snorted lightly on his face and said quite indifferently.
Now that he had made a decision, Qiao Yuan no longer twisted and pinched, he hurriedly ran into the house, took a cup of tea out, knelt in front of Zhanyuan, served tea with both hands, and said loudly.
"The apprentice visits the master and invites the master to use tea. ”
"Hey...... Boy, get up. ”
Zhan Yuan's face smiled like a bun fold, he raised his hand to take the teacup, and said quickly.
After apprenticeship, Qiao Yuan was much more relaxed, as long as he didn't forget the master-apprentice relationship with Duan Tiangu, there was actually no psychological burden.
Zhan Yuan saw Qiao Yuan's eyes change, and he guessed a little in his heart, and then he showed a kind smile on his face and said slowly.
"Xiaoyuan, don't be too entangled in the status of master and apprentice, as the saying goes, the master leads the door to practice in the individual, the master is just a guide on the road of cultivating immortals, the road still depends on your own walking, and the road is long, it is normal for there to be a few more guides. ”
Qiao Yuan naturally understood this truth, but he couldn't help but slander in his heart, the one who cared about the status of master and apprentice was obviously your old man.
"I owe it to you for this apprenticeship, and when you come back from other continents, you will definitely bring you good things. ”
Zhan Yuan drank the apprentice tea, thought for a moment, showed an embarrassed smile on his face, and said softly.
When Qiao Yuan worshipped Duan Tiangu as a teacher, he also said that he owed it first, but now, this apprenticeship has not been made up.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, but nodded and said on his face.
"Thank you, Master, the disciple will definitely wait and see. ”
Zhan Yuan saw that Qiao Yuan was not polite at all, and his smile couldn't help but stiffen, and then he nodded and said.
"Okay, that's all for today, you can take this half of the fish body and cultivate it well, don't slack off. ”
Qiao Yuan raised his hand and put half of the fish body into the storage ring, and then he gave a salute to Zhan Yuan, returned to his usual cultivation place, and began to cultivate the Qingyue Heart Sutra.
The night passed quietly, and in the early morning of the second day, Qiao Yuan slowly opened his eyes and got up to prepare breakfast habitually.
But breakfast was ready, and I didn't see Zhan Yao come out to eat, and after asking Zhan Yuan, Qiao Yuan knew that Zhan Yao had taken the pill, and I was afraid that he would have to lie down for three to ten days.
During the meal, there was no little girl chattering beside him, Qiao Yuan was really a little unaccustomed, he ate two bites at random, and then hid in the house to start a new day of cultivation.
Because Zhan Yao couldn't wake up, Bai Yue was finally liberated, and Qiao Yuan gave it a large piece of fish meat and let it enter the space bead to cultivate.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and Qiao Yuan had just finished his cultivation that morning, and he habitually began to prepare breakfast.
But after thinking about it, Zhan Yao still hadn't woken up, and Qiao Yuan didn't bother to do it halfway through, so he turned around and walked directly towards his bamboo house.
"Brother Qiao, I'm so hungry. ”
As soon as he walked to the door of the bamboo house, Qiao Yuan saw that the small door of the bamboo house next to him was pushed open, and a little girl with messy hair walked out barefoot, looking like she was awake from sleep, and said pitifully.
With a soft smile on his face, Qiao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, smoothed her hair, and said softly.
"Xiao Yao, you put on your shoes first, then go and freshen up, and you can eat later." ”
Zhan Yao rubbed her eyes and nodded, then she turned around and walked into the bamboo house and began to dress and freshen up.
After a while, Qiao Yuan boiled a pot of fish porridge very quickly, Zhan Yao ran over when he smelled the fragrance, and Qiao Yuan was completely shocked by the appearance of gobbling up.
"Brother Qiao, the fish porridge you made is really delicious, is there anything else?"
Zhan Yao finished eating a pot of fish porridge, licked his lips, and said meaningfully.
"Why is the little girl's appetite so big all of a sudden?"
Qiao Yuan was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile on his face.
Zhan Yao smiled a little embarrassedly and said pitifully.
"I don't know, I just feel so hungry, I feel like I haven't eaten in days. ”
Qiao Yuan thought that this girl had been asleep for seven days in a row, couldn't it be that he hadn't eaten for seven days, so he nodded and turned around and ran towards the kitchen.
After a while, Qiao Yuan brought another pot of hot fish porridge.
This time, Zhan Yao finally wiped her mouth with satisfaction, patted her little belly and looked like she couldn't walk.
Qiao Yuan smiled helplessly, and asked Zhan Yao to move first to eliminate food, while he rushed towards the river and invited Zhan Yuan, who had just gone out not long ago, to come back.
As soon as Zhan Yuan came back, he grabbed Zhan Yao's wrist, closed his eyes and probed, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he nodded and said.
"Well, good recovery. ”
"Grandpa, what's a good recovery?"
Zhan Yao blinked her big eyes and looked at Zhan Yuan and asked curiously.
"Huh...... , Yao'er, do you want to cultivate?"
Zhan Yuan didn't answer her, but asked softly with a kind smile on his face.
Zhan Yao didn't hesitate at all, and shouted crisply.
"Think, I want to fly like Big Brother Joe and Grandpa. ”
Zhan Yuan nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and pointed at Zhan Yao's eyebrows, and in an instant, a stream of information poured into her brain, making her eyes look confused.
"This is a cultivation method, Yao'er must study it well. ”
After a moment, Zhan Yuan withdrew his finger on Zhan Yao's eyebrows and said softly.
The confusion in Zhan Yao's eyes dissipated, and he nodded heavily.
After doing this, Zhan Yuan told Qiao Yuan to guide Zhan Yao to cultivate, and then he took the fishing rod and went to the river to fish.
Qiao Yuan had a wry smile on his face, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart that he was this kind of master who didn't care about anything.
In desperation, Qiao Yuan had no choice but to pull Zhan Yao, who was dazed, to the valley where the aura was the strongest, and instructed her how to feel the aura.
Zhan Yao's talent is indeed excellent, it is a single wood-based spiritual root, and in the end, it only took her one day to feel the aura in heaven and earth.
Qiao Yuan smiled bitterly, quite embarrassed, thinking that it took him seven days to feel the aura in the Dust Tree Realm, where the cultivation environment was excellent.
In the days that followed, the two of them went to the valley to cultivate every day, until six days later, Zhan Yao finally attracted the spirit like a body and reached the first level of qi refining.
This time it was a bigger blow to Qiao Yuan, it took him a full forty-seven days to cultivate to the first level of Qi refining, while Zhan Yao only took six days.
In the final analysis, there is still a big difference in the qualifications of the two, thinking of this, Qiao Yuan will not dare to slack off in his cultivation, if one day Zhan Yao's cultivation surpasses his own, it will be a big shame.
The days of cultivation always passed very quickly, and when Zhan Yao had been cultivating for a month, her cultivation had reached the third level of qi refining.
Qiao Yuan was already numb to Zhan Yaofei's general cultivation speed, and if Zhan Yao hadn't asked some questions about his cultivation, he would have turned his ears to what was going on outside the window, and he was just immersed in penance.
It wasn't until Zhan Yuan told them that they were going to leave in a few days that the two stopped practicing.
"Grandpa, how long will it take you to come back?"
Since Zhan Yao took the pill, her mind has become much smarter, and she can see at a glance that Zhan Yuan is going out this time, and I am afraid it will take a long time to come back.
Qiao Yuan knew that Zhanyuan was going to other continents to find a way to form a perfect golden pill for himself, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come back in a few years.
But as soon as he thought about it, Zhan Yuan said with an uncertain expression.
"Grandpa can't say for sure, this will be decades long, seven or eight years short, you two must cultivate hard, don't run around. ”
After speaking, he took out two storage bags, one handed to Zhan Yao and the other to Qiao Yuan.
Then Zhan Yuan told Qiao Yuan that there was a formation he had arranged nearby, and ordinary people and demon beasts could not break in, so he and Zhan Yao should not leave this place easily.
