Chapter 263: Ending the Golden Elixir (two-in-one chapter)(1/2)
Looking at Liu Yu who was saluting, Li Changkong frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.
But Zuo Zuo only accepted disciples because of the ancestor's request and the sect's convention, rather than passing on what he had learned, so there was no incident.
"Well, get up."
Li Changfeng raised his hand slightly and said calmly.
Liu Yu, who had his head lowered, felt a gentle force exerted on his body, causing him to straighten up involuntarily.
Liu Yu restrained her body's instinctive will to resist and straightened up obediently.
"Master, this disciple has prepared a small gift as a gift to me."
"This disciple is incompetent, but if you have some thoughts, please accept it, Master!"
Taking out an exquisite jade box made of high-quality spiritual jade, Liu Yu took a few steps forward with both hands holding it, placed it respectfully on the wooden table, and then returned to the original place.
People like them who were accepted as disciples halfway would usually prepare some apprenticeship gifts. The value of the gifts does not necessarily have to be high, the key is to show attitude.
If you do not prepare a gift for apprenticeship, you will inevitably lose the conversation, and may leave the impression that the master is ignorant of the world, and the master-disciple relationship may be estranged from the beginning.
Considering that he might use his elder's name to do things in the sect in the future, the things Liu Yu prepared were a little more expensive.
The master-disciple relationship should be neither too close nor too far away, and all etiquette should be in place.
This is his policy.
"Not a pedantic person."
Li Changfeng nodded slightly, then raised his right hand to open a crack in the delicate jade box, and saw a ginseng lying quietly in the box.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he turned to look at Liu Yu seriously.
Based on his experience, he could easily identify that this was an ordinary spiritual ginseng that was five hundred years old. It could be used as an auxiliary medicine for some golden elixir-stage elixirs, and would be of great use to early-stage golden elixir monks.
Unfortunately, Li Changfeng is already at the middle stage of Golden Elixir cultivation, so this 500-year-old ginseng plant is of relatively little value to him.
However, for foundation-building monks, the five-hundred-year-old elixir is still very difficult to find, which shows that the monks who prepared this gift spent a lot of thought.
"Not bad, I'm serious about it."
Li Changfeng opened his mouth to praise, his voice softened a little, and his impression of Liu Yu changed slightly.
He has ordinary qualifications, but he has a good talent for alchemy. The most important thing is that he is well versed in world affairs. No wonder he is valued and recommended by the Yan family.
"As long as Master is satisfied."
Liu Yu spoke respectfully and cautiously.
This ordinary spiritual ginseng was naturally ripened through the Immortal Mansion, but after special treatment, it looks like it has been unearthed for ten or twenty years.
He has read so many books on spiritual herbs and handled so many spiritual herbs over the years. With his current understanding of spiritual herbs, he may not be able to compare with a second-level spiritual planter in terms of planting spiritual herbs.
But when it comes to giving "special treatment" to spiritual herbs, he believes that he is not inferior to anyone. After all, with the Immortal Mansion in hand, he can have the luxury to practice with spiritual herbs.
No matter whether it is the appearance of the spiritual grass, or the internal vitality, medicinal power, spiritual power, etc., there is no flaw in it.
The choice of this kind of spiritual ginseng, which is old enough but has no special effects, was naturally a result of Liu Yu's careful consideration.
The growth conditions of ordinary spiritual ginseng are simple, and it is grown in many sects. It has no other advantages except that it is a little older, so it is not very rare. You can always buy it by spending spiritual stones.
But it is also useful to Jindan monks, which is beyond the apprenticeship gifts of other monks, but it is not extremely exaggerated.
This is also more in line with Liu Yu's character as a second-level alchemist who is richer than other monks.
"Since you have accepted the ceremony of apprenticeship, you will be my registered disciple from now on, so I cannot fail to express my gratitude."
"Well, this elixir book will be given to you as a gift for meeting you."
Li Changfeng waved his hand and put the jade box into the storage ring, then he pondered for a moment and took out a book about two inches thick.
After forming the alchemy, Li Changfeng also thought about dabbling in alchemy to earn spiritual stones, but after some attempts, he found out that he had no talent for alchemy.
Since then, this alchemy book has been placed in the storage ring and has not been read for a hundred or two hundred years.
Now that I think about the identity of this registered disciple as an alchemist, it is appropriate to serve as a meeting ceremony between master and disciple.
"Thank you, Master."
Liu Yu took the alchemy book and put it into his storage bag without reading it on the spot.
But the greeting gift for the Golden elixir cultivator shouldn’t be too bad, right?
Next, Li Changfeng talked about the rules of the sect, such as not bullying the master and destroying the ancestors, fellow sects not allowed to kill each other, and brothers and sisters helping each other.
The most important thing is that all the knowledge of cultivating immortality imparted by the master cannot be passed on to other monks without the permission of the master. If there is any violation, the cultivation will be abolished and the sect will be expelled!
Not only the secret techniques, but also all the knowledge of cultivating immortals is valuable!
These are normal rules and there are no unreasonable terms. Liu Yu naturally agreed.
At this point, the apprenticeship process was completed, and Liu Yu officially became Li Changfeng's registered disciple.
Later, through Li Changfeng's narration, Liu Yu learned that his disciples, including himself, had a total of six disciples, three direct disciples and three named disciples.
They are: Senior Sister Li Buyu, Second Senior Brother Li Bufan, Third Senior Brother Jing Yongqing, Fourth Senior Sister Lu Xue, Fifth Senior Brother Yu Jiang, and finally Liu Yu herself.
Among them, the eldest sister, Li Buyu, is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. She is not far from the peak of the later stage and is already preparing for elixir formation. The other four senior brothers and sisters have all been practicing for thirty years at the latest, and they are all in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment or above.
.
When talking about Li Buyu, Li Changfeng smiled and was obviously very satisfied with him.
For some reason, Li Changfeng has three more disciples than other Jindan elders.
"Now your senior brothers and sisters have their own important matters and cannot gather together at the moment."
"I have sent a message asking them to take some time and wait for you to come back here in two years to get to know each other with several senior brothers and sisters."
After briefly talking about the situation of his disciples, Li Changfeng said so and arranged for his disciples to get to know each other.
In order to avoid the situation where we are both disciples of the same master and we don’t know each other when we meet in the future.
"Disciple, please obey your master's instructions!"
Liu Yu nodded and replied.
It is certainly a good thing to be able to get to know other senior brothers and sisters and increase one's connections within the sect.
Being both students of Li Changfeng, the brothers are naturally closer to each other than other members of the Yuanyang Sect, and it is normal for them to help each other.
Compared with the master who can directly order his disciples, the relationship between brothers and juniors is equal. He can help or refuse if there is something. Liu Yu is naturally happy to move around more.
This can also be regarded as one of the assistances of apprenticeship.
"If you have any questions during your cultivation, you can raise them now. I am free, so I can answer them for you."
Finally, Li Changfeng touched his beard and said calmly. He only waited to answer some questions before sending these disciples away.
They are just registered disciples, and the master does not need to prepare for them training techniques or bestow powerful secret arts and so on like he does for his direct disciples.
Giving some advice is considered fulfilling one's "obligation".
After all, he accepted a disciple because of the sect's custom and chose Liu Yu because of the Yan family's reputation. He didn't want to pass on his own mantle at all, so he had no intention of cultivating him properly.
What's more, with Li Changfeng's eyes, he could tell at a glance that Liu Yu had been building the foundation for 20 or 30 years, and he already had the basic skills. It was not easy to change them now.
"When a disciple is practicing..."
Liu Yu was naturally not polite when the golden elixir monk had the opportunity to give personal guidance, and immediately asked about the difficulties he encountered in his cultivation one by one.
Of course, the questions about the fundamental Qingyang Gong and Yuanshen Gongsu Shenmiaofa are only discussed in a roundabout way, and will not directly expose these two extraordinary skills.
Based on Li Changfeng's mid-stage Golden Elixir state, it is almost as simple as eating and drinking water to point out issues at the early stage of foundation building.
Questions about cultivation were answered easily, but questions about spiritual consciousness and soul required him to think carefully before giving uncertain answers.
"Okay, that's it for this point of guidance."
"Remember, you are not allowed to disturb my practice unless it is important, and you are not allowed to come to Tongtian Peak without a summons!"
"This transmission talisman can contact me. If necessary, use the transmission talisman to contact me."
About two-quarters of an hour later, seeing that Liu Yu seemed to still have many questions, Li Changfeng frowned and stopped talking, took out a transmission talisman and placed it on the table.
"Yes, Master, disciples must remember the teachings."
Liu Yu put the transmission note into his storage bag and said with a little respect.
If you don't have anything important to do, don't disturb him. If you have something to do, there is a transmission talisman, but you are only given a transmission talisman. Its purpose is self-evident, which is to prevent yourself from actively looking for him.
"I really thought about it."
As expected, this was the status quo of a registered disciple. Liu Yu secretly laughed in his heart, but this was exactly what he wanted.
"Well, step back."
Li Changfeng made a faint sound, raised his arms and waved slightly.
In order to complete the task of recruiting disciples given by the ancestor of the sect, he was already a little impatient to spend so much time on a named disciple.
"Master Wan'an, may your immortal fortune be prosperous. Disciple resigns."
Liu Yu bowed again, then slowly walked out of Lianhu Lake and walked down the mountain.
