The face of a child in June changes at will. The sun was still shining brightly in the afternoon, but as evening came, light rain began to fall in the sky. The entire town of Nanzha was shrouded in mist and haze. Faintly, little lights came on one after another.
In the villa, Tang Xiu sat cross-legged on the balcony of the bedroom, silently feeling the situation inside his body. After days of practice, the nine stars have become even brighter. Even though he was sitting cross-legged, the feeling of power was still transmitted to his limbs and bones like a surging wave.
He knew very well that it was imperative to practice in the resurfacing stage. When he comes back from helping Jia Ruidao, he will immediately try his best to find medicinal materials and spiritual stones. If it is really difficult to find him in a short period of time, he can only ask Chen Zhizhong for help.
"The path of cultivation is difficult and dangerous. But I will definitely ride the wind and waves and achieve glory again."
In the past, he rarely faced the embarrassment of lack of cultivation resources, but the earth's resources are scarce. If he wants to practice the Ten Thousand Sources Virtual Universe Tongtian Jue, he must search for all available resources, even if it is extremely difficult. He has the ambition to soar into the sky and bravely rise against the current. He firmly believed that no difficulty faced him.
"Um?"
Following his perception, he immediately noticed Chen Zhizhong's arrival.
Lobby.
Chen Zhizhong looked at the decoration in the villa in surprise. He found that even the place where he lived was not as good as the villa in front of him. Suddenly, he had to envy Long Hanwen from the bottom of his heart. After all, his son could be so discerning and invest so accurately. He was definitely considered an elite in the commercial street and an outstanding talent.
"You came!"
Tang Xiu came down from the stairs and said expressionlessly.
Chen Zhizhong's heart tightened, and he respectfully came up to him and shouted: "Master!"
Tang Xiu did not refute him this time, but came to sit down on the sofa in the living room and said calmly: "I have accepted a few named disciples, and I know that it is troublesome to teach disciples. Therefore, I don't have a lot of time to waste on teaching disciples. Before you accept me as your teacher, I have one more request."
"You say!"
Chen Zhizhong said hurriedly.
He didn't expect that at such an age, Tang Xiu would have had several apprentices. So wouldn't he have several senior brothers in the future
Tang Xiu said: "There is no rush. I want to ask you a few questions first. If your answers satisfy me, then you will be my registered disciple from today on. If I am not satisfied with your answers, then where will you start?" Come, go back anywhere. Even what you saw and heard here today is not allowed to be told outside."
Chen Zhizhong was moved and said: "You ask! I will answer truthfully."
Tang Xiu pointed upward and said, "Do you believe there is a sky beyond the sky? Are there higher beings above our earth?"
Chen Zhizhong said: "Of course there is! The vast universe is boundless. Who knows how many civilizations and how many brand-new worlds there will be."
Tang Xiu shook his head and said: "I'm not talking about the universe, I'm talking about space. Just like the world in those fairy tales, there is the human world, the demon world, the fairy world, and the divine world? Do you believe these things? A high-level space exists?”
Chen Zhizhong thought about it and answered slowly: "I don't know."
Tang Xiu asked: "If there is, can you accept it?"
Chen Zhizhong nodded without hesitation: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world. In a wider expansion, the existence of demon world, fairy world, and god world is not impossible. If it really exists, I can naturally accept it."
Tang Xiu asked: "Next question. How much do you know about Taoists?"
A person who practices Taoism
Could it be...
His mind turned quickly and he said seriously: "In my eyes, cultivators are legendary figures. What I know comes from myths and stories, and I have never encountered them in reality. However, I I’ve heard of two places where there are such old gods, but it’s hard to say whether they are true or not.”
Tang Xiu asked: "Where?"
"Qinghai and Tibet."
Chen Zhizhong replied.
Tang Xiu nodded silently and said, "If what I teach you won't make you achieve much, will you still be willing to worship me as your teacher?"
Chen Zhizhong said without hesitation: "As long as I can practice martial arts and make progress, I am willing to become your teacher."
Tang Xiu pointed to the door and said, "I already know your answer, you can leave."
Chen Zhizhong was stunned and instantly felt cold all over his body. He didn't understand what was wrong with his answer. Tang Xiu actually didn't want to accept him as his disciple anymore.
"Can you tell me where I fail to satisfy you?"
Tang Xiu said: "My disciples do not need to practice martial arts. My disciples only need to have a heart, a heart that is not afraid of dangers and dares to fight against fate. To learn my skills, you must always go against the will of heaven. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. To put it simply, learn from me. The most important thing is to cultivate the mind, and the second is to cultivate the body."
Chen Zhizhong immediately knelt down in front of Tang Xiu and said firmly: "I have that heart. If it can make me stronger, even if it means going against the will of heaven, I am willing."
Tang Xiu looked at him deeply, looking at his resolute face. After a long silence, he nodded and said, "Go find some tea and kowtow to me."
"What are you doing... OK, OK, I'll go right away."
Chen Zhizhong didn't react for a while, but when he did, he immediately shouted with ecstasy.
Serve tea!
kowtow!
The simplest apprenticeship ceremony only took two minutes to complete.
Tang Xiu motioned Chen Zhizhong to sit on the sofa opposite, and then slowly said: "Actually, according to your age, even if you follow me in cultivation, your achievements in this life will not be great. It is difficult to rise to the top, and becoming the supreme among the immortals is even more difficult. Very little. However, since you have entered my door, I will naturally let you live longer and become stronger."
"Lift the clouds and fly to the sky?"
"The Supreme among Immortals?"
Chen Zhizhong's pupils shrank violently, and his face was full of horror.
Tang Xiu said in a deep voice: "That's right. I am a Taoist, not a martial arts practitioner as you said. There are thousands of roads, and there are different paths. I will teach you how to practice immortality, and I will guide you to enter the spiritual world. .As for how successful you can be in the future, it depends on your destiny."
good fortune!
It is indeed a great blessing!
Chen Zhizhong was so excited that he wanted to shout loudly, but he did not dare to make the slightest mistake in front of Tang Xiu. Ascetics, he had heard of such people, but had never seen them before. In his eyes, this legendary figure is like a majestic mountain, which he admires and yearns for.
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely follow your teachings and practice seriously."
Chen Zhizhong knelt down in front of Tang Xiu again and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Tang Xiu frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "You don't have to kowtow to me easily from now on. I can't teach you much. When you encounter something you don't understand about cultivation in the future, come and ask me again."
Subsequently.
Tang Xiu randomly selected a practice technique and taught it to Chen Zhizhong. The cultivation techniques he taught may be ordinary in the eyes of the supreme beings in the immortal world. But in the eyes of ordinary immortals, it is nothing more than the legendary supreme magical power.
Tang Xiu's current cultivation level is too low and he cannot instill spiritual consciousness, so he can only teach it bit by bit. It took four hours to complete the teaching of a technique.
"Okay, I've taught you the techniques. In the future, when you actually embark on the path of cultivation, I will teach you some other knowledge, such as alchemy, weapon refining, formations, etc. But you remember, cultivation must not Too hasty, otherwise it will lead to unstable mood and obsession."
"Follow Master's teachings."
Chen Zhizhong said respectfully.
Tang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go. Remember, you must not tell anyone about the cultivation techniques I taught you today. Including your closest relatives."
"yes!"
Chen Zhizhong nodded immediately.
After Tang Xiu sent Chen Zhizhong away, he picked up his phone and checked the time, only to find that there was an unread message on his phone. After opening it, he remembered that during the day, Gong Dalong asked for his ID number, saying he wanted to book a flight. Unexpectedly, he had already booked his flight ticket and the departure time was tomorrow morning.
"I don't know, how does it feel to fly? Is it the same as flying with a sword?"
Tang Xiu thought randomly for a moment, then felt a little hungry. He walked to the kitchen. What made him smile bitterly was that the clean and tidy kitchen was empty, and even the refrigerator was empty.
"This home doesn't feel like home at all. It's better to live with my mother! Although the house is small, it is well-equipped and has the warmth of home."
After a few sighs, he unexpectedly discovered that there was a recipe posted on the wall behind the dining table, with all kinds of dishes on it, which was extremely rich. At the end of the viewing, he realized that this was left for him by the property management office. He was afraid that he didn't want to go out to eat and would go hungry because there was no one to cook, so he left a takeout order.
"You really get what you pay for. In a villa area of this level, the people at the property management office are really considerate." Tang Xiu smiled slightly and ordered a takeout according to the phone number above.
Twenty minutes later.
The doorbell of the villa courtyard rang. When Tang Xiu came outside, he found that the takeout had been delivered, and the person who delivered it was none other than Long Zhenglin.
"How did you come?"
Tang Xiu asked in surprise.
Long Zhenglin said with excitement on his face: "Boss Tang, I came here specifically to see you. I just met the delivery man outside the door, so I gave him the money and sent him away."
Tang Xiu said helplessly: "How did I find out that you are still here? You haven't followed me enough during the day. Do you still come over to sleep with me at night?"
Long Zhenglin shook his head vigorously, and the excitement on his face continued: "Boss Tang, I have something else to ask you for. Do you still remember the prescription you prescribed this afternoon? I followed the medicinal materials prescribed on that prescription and immediately prescribed it. I bought them all, and then I went home and asked the nanny to torture me. After taking it, I felt different. It happened that a girl was interested in me, so I gave it a try. Guess what? It was a miracle! I I lasted for a full twenty minutes. I kid you not, I specifically checked the time, and twenty minutes is definitely enough."
"Are you sick? Come and tell me such a thing?"
Tang Xiu cursed dumbfounded.
Long Zhenglin shook his head again and said: "Boss, I saw strong business opportunities from that prescription. Why don't I just pick up my pants and run over to discuss a plan to make a fortune with you."
"Business?"
