After these lofty words, the Jisheng Hall fell into complete silence.
These words were not even from the cheat sheet circulated privately among the candidate disciples, but Leng Mushi's impromptu speech from the bottom of his heart.
She really wanted to catch the Second Elder. Even with the brief contact yesterday, she had already realized the evil of this woman.
But today in the hall, this woman was so reckless that even the sect leader openly reprimanded her but secretly protected her. This shows what a powerful figure she is on Taichu Mountain!
When Leng Mushi thought of this, she held her thighs tighter.
Besides, she has nowhere to go, right? Even though she awakened to the Dao in advance, so what? With her spiritual roots that are only good at growing land, is there really a place for her in the outer gate sweeping the floor? The immortal mountain is not stained by dust, how can there be so much land to sweep!
Leng Mushi was extremely excited. If she failed today, she would die. She also knew that the Second Elder was not a good person, but she was not a good person either. Isn't it just right that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beams are crooked
Leng Mushi's action of acknowledging her master on the spot not only made the whole hall silent, but even Hua Yanyue was stunned by her sudden kneeling.
If Leng Mushi had a better spiritual root, Hua Yanyue would have been ready to snatch her away today. It's not that she doesn't want to accept disciples, but even if she accepts one, they will die, so it's a waste of time. No one is willing to become her disciple. She wants to snatch her away today just to make a deal with this little kid.
But I didn't expect that although her spiritual roots were weak, she was very brave and actually cried and shouted that she wanted to become her disciple.
Hua Yanyue was amused by what she said and was happy from the bottom of her heart, but she made a "sneer" sound, as if she was mocking her.
She reached out and patted Leng Mushi's raised head: "How do you know that my ambition is to save the world with alchemy, rather than to poison the world?"
Leng Mushi: ... I don’t know what to say, so I just laughed.
The elders present here who had been poisoned since childhood and had only been used as test subjects when their bodies became resistant to the poison and the drugs failed to show any effect, suddenly felt the hairs on the backs of their necks stand up subconsciously.
They looked at Leng Mushi with pity. The little girl really had no idea what kind of fire pit she had jumped into. Hua Yanyue loved to test drugs on others.
For a moment, the whole hall was filled with an atmosphere of saving all living beings. The elders recalled the days when they ate poison and were fed antidotes, and were forced to eat poison again after the antidote. Tears flowed in their hearts.
They naturally didn't know that Leng Mushi would still jump into a sea of fire, let alone a fire pit. Her life was already full of thorns, so she wouldn't mind being burned in fire.
Hua Yanyue was originally hesitant to leave, but when Leng Mushi knelt down, she was delighted by the crisp call of the master. She pulled Leng Mushi up and said as they walked out, "We have all kinds of medicine in the Cangsheng Academy, except for regret medicine."
Leng Mushi hurriedly saluted to the elders in the hall, and ran out of the hall with Hua Yanyue.
Hua Yanyue walked in front and said, "It's not easy to be my disciple. You have to help me take care of the things in the courtyard."
"Those?" Leng Mushi only saw a four-legged beast, the Bone-crushing Lizard, that day.
Hua Yanyue turned her head to look at her and smiled evilly: "Do you think I have so few good things?"
Leng Mushi is basically afraid of nothing. The only thing she fears is death. But there are many ways to die, and she would rather die outside the plot.
So she narrowed her fox eyes and smiled like a pair of evil creatures planning to destroy the world with Hua Yanyue: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you. I'm basically not afraid of anything."
Hua Yanyue raised an eyebrow and continued, "If you become my disciple, you will have to test my medicine. If you are not careful, you might die."
Leng Mushi quickly followed Hua Yanyue and said sincerely: "Master, don't worry. I will try to live a few more years! Help you to refine more spiritual medicines!"
Hua Yanyue then stopped at the end of the stone steps, restrained her smile, and looked at her carefully.
In her heart, she was extremely satisfied with this new disciple. Although her spiritual roots were really poor, as long as this little girl was as tough as she showed, Hua Yanyue had plenty of ways to make her spiritual roots the best in the world. Even if she had to use elixirs to wash them, she could get a pure single spiritual root.
She took off the elder jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Leng Mushi: "Go to Lingheyuan to get the disciple's clothes and the things you need, and then go back to Cangshengyuan. You have my jade pendant with you, and the barrier won't stop you."
Leng Mushi's heart was beating fast. She took the jade pendant solemnly and nodded.
"Okay, Master." Leng Mushi smiled at Hua Yanyue like a little fox who had succeeded in his good deed.
Hua Yanyue also smiled, turned around and went back to Cangsheng Court first. Leng Mushi remembered something and said behind her: "Master, my name is Leng Mushi, and my nickname is Nianci. Master, just call me Nianci!"
Hua Yanyue waved her hand, and Leng Mushi then excitedly took the jade pendant and went to get the disciple's uniform.
Lingheyuan is the place where the sect's magical instruments and various sundries are stored. Like the library, the people who look after it are low-level disciples who take turns in batches. There is no need to worry about people stealing any treasures, because all spiritual instruments and magical instruments have special seals, and no one can touch them without the elder's special jade pendant.
Normally, all new disciples would be issued disciple uniforms by the elder's senior brothers or sisters, but Leng Mushi's case was an exception. After all, she knew that she didn't have any senior brothers, and Xuanzhu was also an illusion created by Hua Yanyue. Although Leng Mushi didn't know why her master had this hobby.
But it is indeed embarrassing to not have a disciple. One has to do everything by oneself. Compared with other elders who are surrounded by disciples, it is indeed embarrassing. Perhaps because of this, Hua Yanyue transformed herself into his disciple whenever she had nothing to do.
When Leng Mushi took Hua Yanyue's jade pendant to get the disciple uniform, the senior brother guarding the gate knew that today was the initiation trial for new disciples and had already prepared the third-class disciple uniform at the door. He was about to give it to Leng Mushi, but when he took Leng Mushi's jade pendant, his eyes widened.
"This..." Senior Brother looked at Leng Mushi in shock, "May I ask if Junior Sister... is she the disciple of the Second Elder of the Cangsheng Academy?"
Leng Mushi nodded: "Yes! Please, senior brother." She laughed happily, as she also had a master.
She even boasted to Falu that she didn't go to sweep the floor outside. Falu was silent for a long time and said cautiously - Congratulations, but I'm a little worried.
Fenlian was very happy because she didn't have to hide anymore. The Second Elder knew of her existence and didn't let Leng Mushi do anything to her. Besides, the Second Elder also kept bone-breaking lizards from the demon world in his courtyard, so it was not surprising for a big demon like her to be there!
Leng Mushi was about to take the clothes, but the senior brother suddenly took the clothes back and said, "You can't wear this, wait for me to find it for you!"
As he said that, he ran into the spirit weapon storehouse. After a moment, he ran out and handed her a set of disciple uniforms that looked whiter and had more complicated rune patterns on the shoulders: "You wear this, don't worry about the size, these are all made in the sect and are made according to the human body shape."
The senior brother who was in charge of the Lingheyuan said, "This is a first-class rune disciple uniform, you can take it."
He then distributed storage bags to Leng Mushi and stuffed some daily necessities into her new storage bag. After stuffing a lot, he smiled shyly and handed the storage bag to Leng Mushi: "Junior sister, take it. If it's not enough, come to me for more. I'm Xiaomei, the same as plum blossom."
Xiaomei
Leng Mushi smiled and thought that Senior Brother Xiaomei’s name was really unique.
However, she was still very clear about a person's kindness. The first-class disciple uniform sounded very impressive, although Leng Mushi didn't know what its function was.
Taking it together with the storage bag, Leng Mushi said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xiaomei. My name is Leng Mushi. My full name is not important. My nickname is Nianci, which means kindness in heart. My mother gave it to me. Senior Brother Xiaomei, just call me Nianci."
"Junior Sister Nianci, I've got it in mind. Please go back soon."
Leng Mushi was so happy that she didn't know how to describe her feelings. She almost cried as she walked towards Cangshengyuan with her things in her arms.
This might be a good start. This time, she would definitely be able to avoid the bullying and ridicule of the outer disciples in the plot. She entered the Cangsheng Courtyard with her disciple in her arms full of hope, ready to suffer, whether it was testing medicine or taking care of the monsters and beasts that Hua Yanyue had raised. She finally...
"Ah—" Leng Mushi happily entered the inner courtyard holding her new disciple uniform. With Hua Yanyue's token, the barrier did not stop her.
But the moment she stepped in, she was blown away by something!
After rolling on the ground for several times, her new disciple uniform and storage bag were scattered, and even the token in her hand flew away. Leng Mushi got up from her knees in confusion, and was faced with a huge snake head as thick as her waist.
No, it was a python. I don't know what species it was, a big red python. Every time it moved, it made a rustling sound. The scales on its body rubbed against the brick and stone ground like armor, making a teeth-grinding sound.
Leng Mushi felt a burning pain on the side of her waist, and her sense of crisis exploded instantly. She saw the red python opening its mouth and quickly rolled on the spot. Sure enough, the next moment, the floor tiles where she had just been kneeling made a crackling sound.
That was a huge pool of venom that was enough to corrode a person completely!
"Master, Master, help me!!!" Leng Mushi got up and ran, not even bothering to take his disciple's uniform, screaming as he ran.
However, this was not the end. The red python did not chase her, but soon an extremely ugly beast covered with pus-filled blisters jumped out from the bushes in front of her and tripped her to the ground.
Then, the moment she fell, she was caught by the claws of a raptor in mid-air and flew high to the top of the barrier—
Leng Mushi looked down and almost died on the spot. Yesterday, she and a group of disciples came in and only encountered a bone-crushing lizard. She thought that was all, and that bone-crushing lizard was domesticated and only ate the golden fruits on the tree.
But it was not until today, at this moment, that she could clearly see the entire picture of Cangshengyuan from the perspective of the sky.
This place is basically a garden of exotic animals. There are countless exotic animals lurking everywhere, lying on the rooftops, even hanging on the edge of the cliff in the back mountain, and tied to the beams of the house. They are all exotic animals that Leng Mushi has never seen in his life.
She would never be so naive as to think that these were all tamed. At least if she had not avoided the venom sprayed by the red python just now in time, she would have been corroded on the spot, and perhaps not even a bone would be left.
She finally realized that the hair on her head stood up, and only then did she realize that the place she had walked into crying was not a good place where she could learn skills by enduring some hard work, but a boiling lava that would burn her to death once she entered it.
But before she could think about what would happen if she betrayed her master, the unknown bird that was holding her suddenly let her go!
