240 Apprenticeship(1/2)
In addition to protecting the calf, Master Taiyi also instigated Nezha to hide outside the Nantian Gate and beat up the Dragon King of the East China Sea who complained to heaven.
He even helped Nezha kill people.
There was also Nezha at Sishui Pass who was injured by Yu Hua. After Nezha was taken away and cured, he deliberately said that he was not cured to avoid fighting.
It makes sense for a person with this kind of personality to find an opportunity and take Shi Zhongkui as his disciple first.
After thinking about this, Shi Zhongkui knelt down without hesitation and said, "Disciple Shi Zhongkui, pay homage to Master."
Since you are an apprentice, it is natural for you to give a big salute, otherwise why would anyone teach you your true skills?
Master Taiyi couldn't help but burst out laughing after Shi Zhongkui kowtowed three times.
Huang Feihu on the side smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Taoist brother on your good disciple."
Master Taiyi laughed a few more times and replied with a few polite words.
Then he watched Shi Zhongkui flick his fly whisk, and the "Book of Taiyi Master", which represented what Taiyi Master had learned all his life, came into his mind.
Shi Zhongkui was overjoyed. Although he was not a Yuqing Taoist, he also knew that he was only a rookie in the foundation-building stage. Even if he was given the Yuqing Taoist method, it was more likely that he would not be able to understand it.
It is better to cultivate to become an immortal first and then seek Yuqing Taoism.
Moreover, Shi Zhongkui also knew that whether it was Conferred God or Journey to the West, no matter how high his cultivation level was, he could not defeat a good magic weapon.
And defensive magic weapons are the most rare.
"Thank you, Master, for giving me the method of cultivation." After thanking him, Shi Zhongkui suddenly showed a smile on his face and said, "Master, I will definitely study hard and practice hard in the future, without losing the honor of Master and the disciples."
Taiyi Zhenren and Huang Feihu nodded with satisfaction, and then heard Shi Zhongkui say shamelessly, "It's just Master. I'm not even an immortal. Please ask Master to give me some treasures for self-defense."
Master Taiyi's face darkened.
I was about to curse a few words, but then I remembered that Nezha used to be a little brat like a demon king. In order to coax him, I gave him the Qiankun Circle, Hundian Ling, Fire Spear, Gold Bricks, and Hot Wheels all at once.
This second disciple asked for a treasure, but he didn't give anything. It really couldn't be justified.
And this newly recruited second disciple
However, I really don’t have a magic weapon for self-protection that I can use.
Immediately, Taiyi thought of his mentor, Yuan Tianzun, and his fellow disciples.
At that time, his mentor gave each of his twelve brothers thirty-five or seventy-eight magic weapons. Over the years, most of them have been passed on to his nephews or left in the hands of himself and others.
But except for the four who apostatized, two of the other eight people never confiscated their disciples.
Master Lingbao doesn't have any decent defensive magic weapon in his hand, but the Hunyuan Pearl and Shengmen Xiayi in the hands of Master Huanglong are pretty good.
It's just that he really planned on the treasure in the hands of Master Huanglong, but Taiyi couldn't bear it.
The nicknames of the Four No-Taoists can basically reflect the life of Huang Long.
He has no power, no disciples, no brains, has never won a victory, and is bound to lose every battle. Just saying it makes people unable to bear to plot against him.
But this kind of person who is not good at anything can actually save the day from danger every time. Even a fool would not believe it if he said he had no luck.
Master Taiyi couldn't help but think that if he exchanged his merits with his junior brother for one or two items, he would probably agree.
But if Shi Zhongkui actually gave up half of his merits to exchange for a defensive magic weapon that was actually not that good, Taiyi's protective character was immediately revealed.
Gritting his teeth, he said to Shi Zhongkui, "Apprentice, please sit here with your Master Huang for a while, and I will ask your Master to go."
After saying that, before Shi Zhongkui could say anything and said he would take him with him, he disappeared.
Huang Feihu felt sour in his heart and looked at the stunned Shi Zhongkui with envy.
Saints cannot come out after being conferred as gods. If you want to see them, you can only be a direct disciple.
Not long after, Taiyi's figure appeared here.
He stretched out his hand with a smile, revealing a lotus seed shining with rays of light in his palm.
"This thing is an innate spiritual treasure, the lotus seed of the Sixth Grade Green Lotus Platform, that your master found in Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain after the Battle of the Gods."
When Shi Zhongkui heard that it was only a sixth-grade lotus platform, he felt disappointed.
But when I think about it, this thing is an innate spiritual treasure. No one else can ask for it, but I can get it easily.
My mood suddenly improved.
Then I heard Taiyi say that the lotus seeds planted in the soul will not only not absorb the host's magic power, but can absorb the magic power between heaven and earth. Part of it will grow on its own, and part of it will be used to protect the host's soul from outside interference.
When Shi Zhongkui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I immediately thought about planting this sixth-grade lotus platform in the space farm.
But within a second, Shi Zhongkui suddenly thought, could it be that the space in his soul had been known by Yuanshi Tianzun, so he was given this innate spiritual treasure?
When I was secretly feeling uneasy, I suddenly came to my senses again.
If Yuanshi Tianzun didn't know, it was just a coincidence.
If he really guessed that Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to harm him, could he still resist?
As for whether accepting him as a third-generation disciple was a conspiracy, Shi Zhongkui only worried for half a second and then stopped caring.
To put it bluntly, it is actually good to be used by others.
What I fear the most is not even looking at you, leaving you to fend for yourself.
Moreover, when ordinary people accept a disciple, they have to see whether the person is qualified.
In this case, why should Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiyi Zhenren make selfless sacrifices?
Rather than being suspicious of this or that, it is better to show your own value.
Naturally, the teacher is not willing to use you as cannon fodder, but will continue to invest resources in you.
After thinking about this, Shi Zhongkui suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Then the spiritual energy in his body began to circulate on its own. Shi Zhongkui hurriedly guarded his mind, meditating and practicing Changchun Gong, while thinking about "Taiyi Zhenren Shu" in his mind.
This time, the effect of eating 2 Zhuguo, which can cleanse the marrow and improve the qualifications, is reflected again.
The more you practice according to Taiyi Zhenren's book, the faster your realm breakthrough will be, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven will also increase.
With just a stick of incense, breaking through the golden elixir is as easy as boiling water and melting ice.
Not to mention this, after forming the elixir, Master Taiyi started preaching with a satisfied smile on his face.
What Shi Zhongkui lacks the most is Taoism. Someone has taught him his own experience, and practicing it is like cheating.
After the golden elixir in his dantian gradually solidified, Shi Zhongkui was in no hurry to break through to the middle stage of the golden elixir.
Instead, he did not hesitate to take out the 1 spirit peach he had saved over the years, and this time he became smarter.
Anyway, he can control the things in the space warehouse. As soon as his mind moves, the spiritual peach turns into spiritual energy liquid and appears in his mouth out of thin air.
One peach after another enters the stomach, constantly transforming into mana, condensing the golden elixir in the body.
After Shi Zhongkui had no choice but to solidify the golden elixir, he continued to break through.
Master Taiyi suddenly opened his eyes and took a closer look at Shi Zhongkui. The smile on his face suddenly became brighter.
Huang Feihu, who was in the first set, was a little surprised.
I originally thought that Shi Zhongkui's qualifications could only be considered above average, but now it seems that this guy is not only extremely qualified, but his character is also as stable as Mount Tai, neither impatient nor impetuous.
He was actually willing to spend countless spiritual energy and risk the opportunity disappearing to lay a solid foundation and then start to break through again.
What surprised Huang Feihu even more was that the speed at which this guy absorbed spiritual energy was definitely far faster than any junior he had ever seen.
He secretly thought that he shouldn't have given him up to teach Chan. If he had accepted him as his disciple, maybe in three to five thousand years he would be more powerful than his sons.
But the work was done, and it would be in vain to think about it any more. I could only sigh and watch Shi Zhongkui break through to the middle and late stages of the Golden Elixir, and then get stuck at the Great Perfection state.
Shi Zhongkui naturally knew his situation.
After thinking about it, if I don't show my qualifications at this time, how can I get good things from the master?
My thoughts are on the 2 Lingpeach peach trees and 2 Zhuguo fruit trees in the space farm.
Just when he was about to use a thousand merits to upgrade the Zhu Guo to 3, Shi Zhongkui suddenly thought that since Master Taiyi could see the golden circle of merits in his soul.
If it suddenly loses one-twentieth, it will definitely be noticed by others.
Moreover, relying on merit to achieve breakthroughs is not a real skill, and will instead make Master Taiyi look down upon.
Thinking of this, Shi Zhongkui couldn't help but put his mind on the psychic gem that had been stored in the warehouse.
The weapon spirit said at the beginning that the psychic gem can absorb enough spiritual energy to upgrade the spiritual peach to level 1 in half a year.
Moreover, when he first entered Heaven, it was because of Wuqu Xingjun's fairy spirit that he opened the space farm.
Using the cover of cultivation and using the spiritual energy in the psychic jade, Shi Zhongkui started to let Zhu Guo absorb the spiritual energy in the psychic jade without much hesitation.
The fifteen fruits of the red fruit tree, which had been growing for half a year, immediately began to ripen visibly to the naked eye.
Immediately, Shi Zhongkui began to loosen the restrictions of the space farm. Taiyi Zhenren and Huang Feihu soon discovered that a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy continued to pour into Shi Zhongkui's body.
Huang Feihu pointed at Shi Zhongkui in disbelief and looked at Master Taiyi.
Master Taiyi shook his head, but looked after Shi Zhongkui more carefully and carefully.
To be continued...
