Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 1: God-given opportunity
Wei Tianchong is still a student of Xiyue. It is normal for him to be unable to stay with Yan Changfeng for a long time before ten years have passed. Moreover, with Wei Tianchong's current temperament, although he has made progress, his experience is still insufficient, and Tang Jie does not dare to let him stay at Guanri Peak.
But...
Tang Jie looked at Nan Baicheng: "Shouldn't this matter be told directly to Wei Tianchong? Why are you talking to me?"
Nan Baicheng replied: "Because Master asked me to ask you, are you interested in becoming his ninth direct disciple?"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Tang Jie was completely stunned.
He looked at Nan Baicheng, and then said after a while: "Master Nan, please don't be ridiculous. Real people can only accept disciples after an assessment. How could it be..."
Nan Baicheng interrupted him impatiently: "Who stipulates that assessment is necessary? Assessment is just for selecting talents. If there is no need for selection, why bother with assessment? Your performance in this true inheritance is obvious to all. Master You can't break your promise and don't want Wei Tianchong as a disciple. Can't you accept one more? How you want to accept it is the master's business. You only need to agree or disagree."
"This..." Tang Jie immediately became embarrassed.
Being Yan Changfeng's disciple is not a bad thing. The problem is that after he practiced li Jing, he has become very different from ordinary people in many aspects. In the academy, most of the masters are in the transcendent realm and have limited vision. Although Xie Fengtang is in the heavenly state of mind, there are tens of thousands of students in the academy. No matter how much Xie Fengtang pays attention, he cannot always keep an eye on Tang Jie.
Guanri Peak is different. Yan Changfeng only has a few disciples. With a little effort, he can detect that Tang Jie is unusual. Once he is targeted, it will be difficult for Tang Jie to do anything secretly. .
This is the main reason why Tang Jie is unwilling to become the true successor. Another reason is that Yan Changfeng belongs to the radical group, and Tang Jie is also different from him in terms of philosophy of doing things.
But it would be troublesome to just refuse and refute the real person’s face.
Tang Jie could only say: "Master Nan, let me think about it."
Nan Baicheng frowned: "Consider? Do you still need to consider such a thing?"
He could still understand that Tang Jie was fighting for Wei Tianchong's true biography, but now that the opportunity had come to his door and he didn't want it, Nan Baicheng couldn't figure it out. Only then did he realize that what Yan Changfeng said before was indeed not unreasonable. He seemed to have guessed that Tang Jie might refuse.
"This is a big matter and always needs to be considered." Tang Jie answered unhurriedly. After the initial shock, he now felt much calmer. Anyway, I have offended Nan Baicheng once, so it doesn't matter now, and my reluctance is clearly expressed in my tone.
Nan Baicheng was angry in his heart, but he could only say: "Master said that if you are willing to become his disciple, he can teach you the Nine Transformations of the Sun and the distraction and concentration method."
The Nine Transformations of the Sun and the Method of Distracting and Calming the Mind can be said to be Yan Changfeng’s secret method of fame. It is said to be so mysterious that even Xiao Biehan praised Yan Changfeng as a genius after seeing it. Among the seven disciples of Yan Changfeng, so far, it is said that only the senior brother has obtained the inheritance of these two methods, and the other disciples have not obtained it yet. From Nan Baicheng's point of view, if Tang Jie still refused to agree to such conditions, it would be simply unreasonable.
But Tang Jie was unmoved and still had a thoughtful look on his face.
Nan Baicheng was almost driven crazy by him.
What an opportunity this is. Anyone would be overjoyed. Why is this **** so indifferent?
He wanted to catch this **** and beat him up.
Only Wei Tianchong's matter, he had already screwed up, but this time he could not screw up again, so he could only hold back the anger in his heart and said: "I don't understand what you have to consider, but I remind you You might as well think carefully before making a decision, don’t forget that Wei Tianchong is about to get started.”
"Oh?" After hearing this, Tang Jie was not moved. Instead, he took a deep look at Nan Baicheng: "Did Master Changfeng ask you to say this?"
"So what?" Nan Baicheng asked gloomily.
"If that's the case, I understand what the real person means." Tang Jie nodded and said: "Let's do it. I have to bother Master Nan to go back and talk to the real person. Of course I am very happy to join the real person, but I I also hope that the real person can agree to my three conditions."
"What?" Nan Baicheng stood up immediately. He couldn't believe his ears.
Tang Jie has said: "The first condition is that although I am a disciple, I am free and have the right to refuse arrangements that I think are unreasonable."
It is good to have a famous teacher, but masters generally do not accept apprentices for free. Those who are not qualified but have a good family have to pay a large amount of filial piety, and even give gifts to their masters during festivals. Those who are not well-off but have good talents have to work for the master. The so-called disciples are obliged to work for them.
Nineteen Tiankui is a high-ranking figure, so he naturally doesn’t care about filial piety, but in turn, he has high requirements on the abilities of his disciples. Many things are often done by his disciples, and there is no need to think about remuneration—— When the master asks you to do things, he thinks highly of you.
For example, this is the case in Nanbaicheng.
Tang Jie's first condition is that he is free and has the right to refuse any arrangement made by his master. To put it more bluntly, I won't do anything that is not beneficial, and I may not do anything that is of little benefit.
Nan Baicheng did not expect that Tang Jie would dare to give such a condition. He was so angry that everyone trembled and shouted: "I didn't ask you what conditions you want!"
Tang Jie ignored him and continued: "The second condition is that as long as it does not violate the rules of the Xiyue Sect, I have the right to do whatever I want."
The first condition is the right to refuse anything you don’t want to do, and the second condition is the right to do anything you can. These two conditions are combined together. To put it bluntly, I can do whatever I want, and no one can control it.
"The third condition is that I need 200,000 yuan to fund my cultivation."
Nan Baicheng was so angry that he started to shudder and pointed at Tang Jie: "Arrogant, bold, and ignorant of the limitations of heaven and earth! Master cherishes your talent and gives you a chance, but you dare to ask for an exorbitant price. You really don't know how to live or die..."
Tang Jie smiled and said, "You have to ask a real person to find out."
"Fart, Master can't agree!"
"You are not a real person, so what you say does not count."
"..."
Nan Baicheng was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and glared at Tang Jie fiercely: "Okay, I will forward your words to the master!"
As he said that, he tossed his sleeves and left.
Watching him leave, the smile on Tang Jie's face gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help but rub his temples and sighed: "I still have doubts after all."
If Yan Changfeng just wanted to accept him as his disciple, but if he even used threats and inducements, there was obviously something wrong. This shows that Yan Changfeng definitely doubts himself.
The problem is that Tang Jie doesn't know how deep his suspicion is, so he can only test Yan Changfeng by proposing three conditions.
With Yan Changfeng’s temperament, he would never want a self-righteous disciple like this.
Unable to refuse Yan Changfeng, his only way was to kick the ball back to Yan Changfeng. At least it was not that Tang Jie looked down on Yan Changfeng and refused to enter, but that he was too arrogant. Abandoned by Yan Changfeng.
It is better to have your reputation damaged than to have a real person unable to step down.
If he even agrees to such a condition, then Tang Jie had better run as far as he can now.
Three days later, Nan Baicheng returned to Xiyue Academy and never mentioned Tang Jie's entry. Tang Jie let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed another level.
The autumn rain brings a hint of coolness, seeping into the soil under your feet bit by bit.
The jade fruits in the yard are getting greener and greener, emitting a rich aroma when ripe, and the spiritual valleys in the garden reflect the entire Taoranju in a sea of golden rice.
Gently picking off a jade fruit, Tang Jie put it in his mouth and took a bite. His teeth were full of fragrance. He nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I thought it was an ordinary three-year-old spiritual fruit."
After two years of hard work, the harvest season finally arrived, and Tang Jie was extremely happy.
In the past two years, in addition to daily practice, what he mainly does every day is to take care of these spiritual plants.
No more fierce competition, no more prying eyes, no more crazy adventures, just a simple and peaceful life of cultivation.
Life has become simpler, and income has decreased. Fortunately, poor people have poor people's way of cultivating Taoism. Cultivating it yourself is Tang Jie's best choice.
That being said, it would cost a lot to cultivate spiritual plants on such a large scale with high quality.
Linggu was okay, but the key was that the seeds of spiritual plants were hard to come by and were extremely valuable. Just buying the seeds cost him thousands of dollars, not to mention that subsequent cultivation would require a lot of money. Tang Jie almost All the profits gained from his true inheritance were spent in it.
Using Yiyi's urine and the spirit gathering array to gather spiritual energy for this place, it can be said that these spiritual plants have consumed too much of his energy.
"So it can be used now?" Yiyi asked excitedly. Over the past two years, the little girl has obviously grown a lot taller.
"Don't be in a hurry." Tang Jie gave Yiyi a snap of his fingers: "First pick some for breeding, harvest some, and continue to cultivate the rest."
"Like Xiyue Sect's Millennium Field?" Yiyi asked.
"A thousand-year field is impossible, but an eight-year field is still possible." Tang Jie said with a smile: "When you have your own hilltop in the future, and practice every day, you may be able to build a century-old field."
Yiyi sighed: "That's only a hundred years, so we have to wait for a long time."
"Otherwise, what can we do? Any place in this world that mortals can go to is as long ago as a bandit army crossing the border, and it will be wiped out. Not to mention tens of thousands of years, even a hundred-year-old plant is extremely rare." Tang Jie answered. ~IndoMTL.com~ Alas! It would be great if I could go to Tiandu Mountain. There must be many Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Plants in the Soldier Master's Guixu Land! "Yiyi held her face in her hands and said longingly.
"I think about it too, but it's a pity that I can't go now. Forget it, these things are still too far away. Don't think about it now, let's seize the moment first." As he said that, Tang Jie started to harvest spiritual plants.
After processing the harvested spiritual plants, Tang Jie did not use Li Jing to refine them, but went straight to Lingtai Pavilion, intending to exchange the materials for some elixirs.
For Tang Jie, his top priority now is not to continue to improve his physique, but to improve his realm as soon as possible.
Since there has been no additional income in the past two years, and Tang Jie spent all the money he received on cultivating spiritual fields, his cultivation progress has obviously slowed down, while others have made rapid progress.
Half a year ago, Qi Shaoming successfully entered the Linghai realm. A few days ago, Cai Junyang, Li Yunfan and others also received news of breakthroughs. Tang Jie, on the other hand, had reached the Linghai realm several times, but was still not close. A last-ditch effort but failed. Even Wei Tianchong caught up with him - since joining Yan Changfeng's sect, Wei Tianchong has benefited greatly from the small blessed land under Guanri Peak.
The gap in talent is reflected here.
Some people are already satirizing Tang Jie, saying that the strength he gained through fraud has finally begun to show its true form. The gap in the past has been narrowing. Maybe it will not be long before Tang Jie is no longer the fierce tiger Tang Jie who was in charge of one man. But Tang Jie is just a waste.
Tang Jie didn't expect that he would also be wasted, and he was speechless about this.
However, Tang Jie felt that realm was indeed his weakest link now, so Tang Jie also planned to make up for it.
With these medicines, it will no longer be a problem for him to attack the spiritual sea. If he is lucky, he should still have some surplus.
At this moment, when they arrived at Lingtai Pavilion, Mrs. Shui saw him and said with a smile: "You still know how to come see me?"
