Just when Ling Daozun was struggling to get a few more places to recruit disciples, Chen Yuan, who was thousands of miles away, was there patting his chest and taking a big package.

When Chen Yuan revealed his willingness to accept disciples, he saw Tao Ran immediately bow to the ground, which did not surprise Chen Yuan at all: how many people in the world can refuse the temptation of Cheng Immortal to ask?

However, Tao Ran didn't make more movements after lying on the ground, and there was a lot of hesitation in his expression, which made Chen Yuan feel extremely strange.

After thinking about it, Chen Yuan thought that he understood Tao Ran's concerns, and said in a big way: "Are you worried that your qualifications are not enough?" Don't worry, now that I am the supervisor of the twenty-seventh branch, I still have the power to recruit a disciple into the sect." ”

This is not that Chen Yuan is boasting, but with his current status, he does have this ability.

Like those who had been selecting disciples at the foot of the mountain all the year round before the Twenty-Seven Assignment, after they confirmed that they had unearthed a disciple who met the requirements of the Heavenly Sect, they needed to report to the sect, and then the elders in the sect would review and approve it, and then this candidate would have the qualifications to worship the sect.

Just like Chen Yuan, Wang Zizai, who met by chance at the foot of the mountain, was also able to join the 27th assignment after going through this review procedure.

It's just that Chen Yuan is no longer the powerless ordinary disciple he was back then.

As Chen Yuan, who was appointed by the sect master and was fully responsible for the cultivation of the disciples of the twenty-seven sects, let alone just recruiting a disciple, even if he wanted to shoehorn a group of fools into the sect, everyone had no ability to stop them except for a few words.

Unless the elders assigned by the twenty-seven factions joined forces with Ling Daozun to collectively impeach Chen Yuan and let the main sect come forward to remove him from his position.

However, Chen Yuan believed that with only one disciple quota, those elders or Ling Daozun would never be guilty of making a bad deal with him for this.

Therefore, Chen Yuan had no pressure to give a promise in this big package, and after saying this, he just waited for Tao Ran to kowtow to his master.

The sturdy young man on the side hadn't closed his mouth since Chen Yuan landed.

He didn't know what kind of shit luck his companion had taken, not only did he know this immortal master, but he also insisted on accepting him as an apprentice as soon as he opened his mouth, which made him envious and eager to replace him.

What's even more hateful is that Ah Ran doesn't know if it's because the ghost is confused or what, in the face of such a great good thing, he is still squirming and hesitating.

The young man was anxious, for fear that Chen Yuan would be impatient and regret it, but when Chen Yuanmian didn't dare to open his mouth to urge, he just thought in his heart: Ah Ran, why don't he kowtow, if he is changed to himself, mother, there is a steel plate in front of him, and he has knocked it through......

What made the young man even more shocked was that after hesitating for a long time, Ah Ran slowly shook his head.

And Chen Yuan, who saw Tao Ran shaking his head, was also surprised in his heart.

At this time, I only heard Tao Ran speak: "It's not that Ah Ran doesn't want to worship the Immortal Chief as a teacher, Ah Ran is just afraid that he will live up to the Immortal Chief's kindness today in the future." ”

"Why do you say this?" Chen Yuan wondered, "Didn't I say it before, I don't care about your qualifications, you just need to do your best on the road in the future, and I won't put too much pressure on you what you can achieve in the future." ”

"Ah Ran is not worried about qualifications," his face showed a bit of desolation, and he said in a lamented voice, "I am now sixteen years old, and I only have four years left to live at most, even if Immortal Elder Meng favors me as an apprentice, I am afraid that it will only be a waste of Immortal Chief's mental strength to worship his disciples." ”

"Why is that?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.

The sturdy young man on the side was also full of surprise, he had been with Ah Ran for a long time, but he never knew about these situations, and seeing that Ah Ran could usually do any hard work, he didn't look like a person with a secret disease.

At this time, Chen Yuan suddenly remembered something, his eyes froze, his expression became serious, and he asked, "What do you mean, just like your mother was ...... back then?"

The burly young man was very puzzled by the side, wasn't he talking about Ah Ran's body at the moment, why did the immortal master pull Ah Ran's already deceased mother to go up in person?

However, he saw that Ah Ran was there with red eyes and nodded slightly.

Sure enough, now...... Seeing Tao Ran nodding, Chen Yuan couldn't help but groan.

Back then, in order to allow Tao Ran to take them to break the formation with peace of mind, Prince Su once found a famous teacher to diagnose and treat Tao Ran's sick mother.

However, the final diagnosis turned out to be incurable.

Tao Ran's mother didn't suffer from any serious disease, but her body was born with a defect - she was a person with nine yin veins.

This kind of pulse is not obvious at the beginning, and there is nothing abnormal on the outside, but when the person who gets this kind of pulse is nearly 20 years old, the meridians in the body will gradually become atrophied due to the excessive yin qi and the difficulty of yang qi.

After reaching the age of twenty, even if there are more nourishing things to maintain, it can only be delayed for a few more years, and in the end, it is inevitable that the meridians will be cut off and die.

Like back then, when Chen Yuan and the others met Tao Ran's mother, she was reluctant to leave Tao Ran alone in this world, and she relied on amazing willpower to drag on for five years.

But even so, when she met Chen Yuan and them, Tao Ranniang had already reached the realm of running out of oil.

Unexpectedly, Tao Ran also tragically inherited this vein.

The Nine Yin Absolute Pulse is like a disease such as trisomy 21 in Chen Yuan's later life, and this disease brought out of the mother's womb is fundamentally due to a defect at the genetic level - there is no cure and no cure.

No wonder Tao Ran behaved like this when he heard that he wanted to take him as an apprentice: both excited and disappointed.

It's no wonder that Tao Ran said those words: I'm afraid that I will be on him, and I can only waste my energy.

Indeed, according to common sense, what is the value of cultivating a disciple who only has four years of yang life left?

But Chen Yuan didn't plan to give up.

Tao Ran may not know the details, only that the Nine Yin Absolute Pulse is an incurable disease in the world, but Chen Yuan knows that the Nine Yin Absolute Pulse or some other strange diseases brought out of the mother's womb are the only way to relieve them.

That is the cultivation of truth, if you can reach the realm of Jindan and be reborn, those physical defects will all be cured.

Chen Yuan told Tao Ran about this, only to see his eyes suddenly light up, but only a moment later, that gaze dimmed again: "I am now sixteen years old, only four years, can I cultivate to the realm of Jindan?"

Indeed, Tao Ran's disappointment is a matter of course.

Even if a person starts practicing Qi at the age of twelve and wants to advance to the Jindan Realm before the age of twenty, only the few people with the best qualifications can do it, let alone in just four years.

However, Chen Yuan only smiled slightly.

"Like a man, raise your head and look at me," in Tao Ran's faint gaze, Chen Yuan said indifferently, "In front of you, this one who wants to take you as an apprentice has only taken three years to cultivate the realm of Jindan!"
