When Luo Xiaoyu heard Chen Lin's words, he didn't react for a moment and just stood there.
Chen Lin frowned when he saw this and said, "Why, you don't want to?"
"ah!"
Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed, then quickly bowed down: "Yes, disciple Luo Xiaoyu, I pay my respects to the Master!"
If a Nascent Soul cultivator wanted to take her in as a disciple, she would have to be a fool to refuse. Moreover, after getting to know each other over this period of time, she also knew that her host was not a person of the devil's way.
Although she didn't know what the other party saw in her, why he first asked her, a little cultivator who was only at the sixth level of Qi training, to be the shopkeeper, and now wanted to take her in as a disciple, but no matter what, she couldn't refuse such an opportunity.
I didn't dare to refuse.
"Get up, your master is not someone who sticks to conventional etiquette."
Chen Lin raised his hand and used his magic power to lift the other person up.
When he saw the other person's delicate face, a hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.
This girl's surname is Luo, and her face is 70% similar to Luo Qinglan. If she didn't have Luo Qinglan's cold temperament and the time didn't match, he would have suspected that the other party might be Luo Qinglan's reincarnation.
So when he met the other party by chance, he paid attention to him. After some investigation, he found out that the other party was just an ordinary cultivator with no problem with his identity and a very good character, so he began to think of taking him as his disciple.
Besides the fact that the other person's existence reminded him of Luo Qinglan, he really needed a helper, otherwise he would have to do everything by himself, which would be very inconvenient.
As for the other party's low cultivation level, that is not a problem. With his reserves of elixirs and means, it would be easy to raise the other party to the foundation-building stage in a short period of time.
Even if I help the other person to form a pill in the future, it won’t be too difficult.
He was already prepared to stay here for a long time, so he could take this opportunity to let the other party grow.
Luo Xiaoyu was still a little confused. He didn't understand how he suddenly became a disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator. He also didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. He seemed at a loss.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not an evil cultivator. I just think you have decent aptitude and a good character, so I want to train you. You can also help me deal with some things."
Seeing the other person's look, Chen Lin said comforting words.
Luo Xiaoyu also slowly calmed down. At this point, the matter was done. Becoming a disciple was a big deal. Once it was confirmed, there was no room for regret. The master-disciple relationship between practitioners was sometimes closer than that between parents.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will definitely treat you like my parents and be filial to you in the future!"
She bowed down again and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Chen Lin nodded slightly and did not stop the other party.
The three kowtows meant that he accepted the other person as a formal disciple, not a nominal disciple like Sun Yoon-ah and the others had done before.
This is also his first formal apprentice, and he will cultivate him with all his heart.
Moreover, this disciple will not be bound by a contract. Any contract is not absolute. Once a contract is signed, it is exploitation, not a pure master-disciple relationship.
Of course, before vigorously cultivating, it is still necessary to test it. Other aspects do not matter, but the character must pass the test. He does not want to work hard and end up with an ungrateful person.
"Okay, now that the master-disciple relationship has been established, I will briefly tell you about my situation."
Chen Lin gave a general account of his situation, without going into too much detail, only saying that he had ascended from the lower realm, had no sect background, and had some simple experiences.
Then he took out a storage bag, handed it to the other party and said, "You have three spiritual roots: fire, wood and earth. Among them, the fire spiritual root is particularly outstanding. There is a 'Purple Lotus Sutra' in the storage bag, which is a good fire-type practice. You can practice it to the highest level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. There are also some elixirs and magic tools, which are enough for you to use for a while. You should improve your cultivation to the late stage of Qi training as soon as possible, the higher the better, and then I will help you build your foundation!"
His Qi training level is too low to help him at all. It must be improved to the foundation-building stage to be useful.
"Thank you, Master!"
Luo Xiaoyu was already numb, feeling like a pie falling from the sky.
At the same time, I am also a little worried. I always feel that good things come too suddenly and are not real.
But after thinking it over again and again, she realized that there was really nothing about her that a Nascent Soul cultivator would like, except that she looked pretty good. But if the other party wanted her body, there was no way he would accept her as a disciple.
While worrying about gains and losses, Chen Lin had already left the store.
The next day, Chen Lin hired an old man in the early stage of foundation building. After signing a spiritual contract, he asked the other party to be in charge of the store affairs, and then found a young man.
His shop only sold low-level elixirs, and he didn't expect to make any money. His purpose was to keep abreast of the situation in the market, and his main purpose was to observe the people of the Qinglin Clan.
Luo Xiaoyu still stayed in the shop, but his main task was to practice.
Time passes slowly.
Chen Lin's alchemy skills improved steadily, and the quality of the pills in his shop became higher and higher. His shop was no longer deserted, and more and more monks came to patronize it, and he even gained some fame.
During this period, a business in Qianyuan City also held a small auction, which allowed him to take the opportunity to purchase a lot of materials and elixirs.
The materials for refining the shadow puppet were finally gathered.
But there is still no information from the people of the Qinglin tribe.
As a last resort, Chen Lin went to investigate in person, but found that Zhenguang Mountain was shrouded in fog. It was obvious that some kind of formation was used. With his level of cultivation, he could not even get in, let alone contact the person in charge.
Afterwards, he went to Qu Sanniang's shop again, but the other party only knew that the Qinglin Clan had the Lantern Fruit, and was unable to contact the Qinglin Clan. He promised to give the other party great benefits and asked the other party to help, but he failed.
Helpless, I can only continue to wait.
After such a long time, the demon species did not attack again. Chen Lin suspected that the opponent had consumed too much energy in the last outbreak, so it entered the recuperation stage.
It may also be related to his possession of the power of the golden soul.
Although there is only a trace of power in the Golden Soul, it is countless times stronger than the Silver Soul, and its might is incomparable.
If the demon is still as strong as last time, it may not be able to suppress his soul and take over his body consciousness.
Instead, he wanted to find the demon species and perhaps use the power of the golden soul to harm it. If the power of the golden soul was stronger, it would not be impossible to wipe it out directly.
Unfortunately, without the Eight-Armed Circumvention and the Sand of Time, it is impossible to refine the true Soul Refining Pill. It is impossible to increase the power of the Golden Soul, and the people of the Soulless Sect have never encountered it.
Since the demon seed was temporarily safe, he calmed down and practiced, while also studying how to refine a shadow puppet.
Three years passed in a flash.
One day, Chen Lin called Luo Xiaoyu to the cave.
After three years of training, the other party had matured a lot and passed his test.
With an adequate supply of medicinal pills, his cultivation had reached the state of great perfection in Qi training, and it was time to build the foundation.
"Are you ready?"
Chen Lin looked at his disciple, who had changed a lot from three years ago. He was no longer young and weak, but full of heroic spirit and acted decisively.
As an entry-level disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the other party was well-known in the circle of low-level cultivators and had a large number of followers. He also encouraged the other party to interact with more people. After all, his original intention of accepting the other party as a disciple was to help him gather information.
"I'm ready Master!"
After three years of contact, Luo Xiaoyu no longer has any worries. The reason why her master chose her was purely by chance and he had no other intentions.
She was just a girl from an ordinary family. Fortunately, she had spiritual roots, but they were not very outstanding. If she had not met her master, she could only be a small cultivator struggling at the bottom. The best outcome would be to marry a man from a small family and live a plain life.
Laying the foundation, that’s something I dare not even think about.
But now, she has inexhaustible resources. The skills and elixirs that she had never dared to think of before are now easily available. Laying the foundation is no longer the end. The master said that as long as she is willing to practice hard, she will be able to enter the golden elixir realm!
Her parents had passed away, so she had no worries. From then on, she devoted herself to honoring her master and doing her utmost to repay her master for giving her a new life.
"Okay, let's get started. It's just a foundation building exercise. Don't feel any burden in your heart. If you fail, you can just start over."
Chen Lin said a comforting word, then took out a bottle of foundation-building pill and handed it to the other party, indicating that the other party should go to the training room to break through the bottleneck by himself.
With the other party's qualifications, and the fact that he had used the Marrow Cleansing Pill, if he still failed despite the supply of a large amount of Foundation Establishment Pills, then it can only be said that he has no chance of becoming an immortal.
Luo Xiaoyu took a look at the full bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills, swallowed his saliva, and walked into Chen Lin's training room.
In less than two quarters of an hour, Chen Lin looked towards the door of the training room with surprise.
Luo Xiaoyu walked out slowly, emitting the energy fluctuations of a foundation-building cultivator!
"Not bad, it seems that you have practiced the skills very well."
Chen Lin praised.
At the same time, I secretly sighed in my heart that the situations of people are so different from each other.
Thinking back to how much hardship and suffering he had endured in order to build his foundation, it was really a step at a time, and he was hovering between life and death every day.
On the other hand, it is as easy as eating and drinking.
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Master. I only used one Foundation Establishment Pill."
Luo Xiaoyu put the pill bottle on the table with a smile. She knew Chen Lin's character very well. Although he looked dignified on the surface, he actually didn't care about trivial matters, so she was not restrained at all.
"Alright, building the foundation is only the beginning of the journey, you must not get carried away. You can keep the remaining foundation-building pills. I also have some spiritual tools and rare treasures that I used back then, you can use them all!"
Chen Lin did not take back the Foundation Establishment Pill, but instead took out a large pile of treasures and gave them to the other party.
The world is in chaos now, so don’t spend so much time training a disciple only to have him die halfway.
“Thank you, Master!”
Luo Xiaoyu was extremely excited. He put all the treasures into his storage bag without hesitation, and then left the cave excitedly.
Chen Lin shook his head, took out the materials, and continued to refine the shadow puppet.
But before he could do anything, Luo Xiaoyu came back.
"Master, I got the news that people from the Qinglin tribe have entered the city!"
