Chapter 175: Apprenticeship Choice(2/2)
Those who can embark on this path are either children of aristocratic families and have elders of the same clan or elders who are close to the aristocratic families as elders. As long as they are promoted to monks, they will naturally have channels to become disciples and teach them the secrets of Taoism and Xuan Gong.
Or he is a civilian child with outstanding qualifications who is appreciated and valued by a certain elder, and thus takes over his mantle.
And this is also the origin of the formation of the master-disciple line of power!
Only those monks who have neither background nor outstanding qualifications will choose the second way out.
This kind of people often have mediocre qualifications. They have wasted decades in the sect and were promoted to monks by chance. However, their spiritual veins are inferior and they are old. Their future is almost cut off. No one will accept them if they want to become disciples, so they have to lead in the courtyard.
He took up a deaconship to spend his remaining years.
"No one in the sect has ever created a first-grade spiritual vein before. Your incident has caused quite a stir in the entire sect. Many elders have expressed their intention to accept you as a disciple. However, under the influence of Elder Zhao and Principal Yu,
After taking action, they all retreated." Si Yuanpei came slowly.
"Who are these two?" Lin Shen expressed doubts at the right time.
In fact, he didn't know much about many high-level relationships in the sect.
Si Yuanpei also knew this and patiently explained it.
"Zhao Quan, the head of the Zhao family, one of the three major surnames, is a ninth-level monk of Xuanguang. He is one of the monks in the sect who is most promising to succeed in returning elixirs. Speaking of which, his daughter is in the same class as you. Zhao Xueying, you should know her."
Zhao Xueying’s father!
Lin Shen was slightly surprised, but he did not expect that aristocratic family would also extend an olive branch to him, and it would also be the Zhao family, one of the three major surnames.
Si Yuanpei was not surprised at all.
The potential shown by Lin Shen is really amazing!
As long as the powerful family members are not stupid, they will definitely not miss the opportunity to win over Lin Shen.
And the candidates they recommend are also very particular.
Not only is Zhao Quan himself a powerful person at the ninth level of Xuanguang, it is said that his daughter Zhao Xueying also has a good relationship with Lin Shen.
If you accept Lin Shen as your disciple, if things go well in the future, you might be able to transform from master and disciple to son-in-law.
Binding talents through marriage has always been the specialty of aristocratic families!
After taking a sip of tea and waiting for Lin Shen to digest the news, Si Yuanpei continued:
"Yu Siyu, the master of the Yu Academy, is at the ninth level of Xuan Guang. He is also one of the most promising monks in the sect to succeed in returning alchemy. He is also the master of the Alchemy Academy!"
"Master Yu rarely accepts apprentices, and he has only had two apprentices over the years. This time he offered to accept you as his apprentice, it is enough to show that you have excellent qualifications!"
Speaking of this, Si Yuanpei, who was as indifferent as he was, couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.
Ordinary true disciples who want to learn from a famous teacher would not ask for it a thousand times and go to great lengths to exhaust their connections.
Wherever Lin Shen was like this, before he even opened his mouth to become a disciple, a lot of elders had already jumped out to accept him as a disciple.
Among them are even powerful monks at the level of Elder Zhao and Master Yu!
Neither of them knew how many years they had had a direct disciple.
"Elder Zhao and Master Yu are both masters of the sect and have profound cultivation. No matter which sect you become a disciple of, it will be of great benefit to your future growth. You might as well consider it carefully!"
Although Si Yuanpei belongs to the master-disciple lineage, he still speaks relatively objectively and does not take the opportunity to belittle the power of the family and promote the master-disciple lineage.
He didn't even bother to do it.
Lin Shen fell into deep thought.
He actually didn't care much.
For him, becoming a disciple is actually just to make it easier for him to obtain the cultivation techniques.
So it doesn't seem to make any difference to him who is his disciple.
Even though he and the aristocratic family seemed to be at odds with each other, in the final analysis, the only ones who really had a problem with him were the Yan family and the Kuang family.
The former has been cleared out, while the latter is just a prominent family and far from representing the power of the family.
If he really wants to worship Zhao Quan as his disciple and become a member of the family's power, if the Kuang family wants to take revenge on him, other families will probably be the first to refuse!
Of course, it seems good to worship the Master Yu.
"On one side are the aristocratic family forces, on the other side are the master and apprentice lineage. Rather than becoming a disciple, it is more like choosing a camp."
Lin Shen secretly shook his head.
Unless he doesn't want to acquire more powerful cultivation techniques and is willing to slow down the speed of his cultivation, standing aside is unavoidable.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen had an idea in his mind and asked in a deep voice:
"Which one, Master Si, Elder Zhao or Master Yu, is good at flying swordsmanship?"
Si Yuanpei was stunned, not expecting Lin Shen to ask such a question.
After reacting, he took a deep look at Lin Shen.
"Do you want to become a swordsman?"
"Some interest."
Si Yuanpei nodded, without asking any further questions, and said, "Prince Yu is famous for her powerful swordsmanship, and her two disciples were also famous sword cultivators among the younger generation."
After hearing this, Lin Shen no longer hesitated and made a decision immediately.
"I choose Dean Yu!"
"Okay, let's go, I will take you into the mountain gate to meet Master Yu!"
The head of the department stood up and walked out of the tea room.
Although he would not belittle the power of the family, he was not a pedantic person either. Seeing that Lin Shen had made a decision, he immediately decided to finalize the apprenticeship as soon as possible to avoid long nights and many dreams and complications.
Like Jiuyang Taoist Temple, the mountain gate of Jiuyang Sect is also located in a different space, or in the blessed land of cave heaven.
The location is somewhere above the central area of Linlong City.
When Si Yuanpei used the talisman to open the entrance and a gap opened in the sky, Lin Shen immediately felt the abundant spiritual energy leaking from it, which was much richer than Jiuyang Taoist Temple and Xuandu Mountain.
"It is indeed a blessed place-level cave!" Lin Shen secretly sighed.
"True disciples are already qualified to get an exclusive training cave in the mountain gate. Once you become the master of Yuyuan, you can go to Gongde Academy to choose a training cave." Si Yuanpei said casually.
Lin Shen's heart moved when he heard this.
The Jiuyang Sect's mountain gate is a blessed land-level cave-heaven blessed land, and the caves opened in it are at least as good as the Qi Palace level.
Even if it is not as good as the place with the richest spiritual energy in Jiuyang Taoist Temple, it is almost the same.
"Let's go."
Si Yuanpei flew into the entrance first.
Lin Shen came to his senses and followed without hesitation.
After his eyes flashed, Lin Shen looked again and found that the scenery in front of him had changed dramatically.
