Chapter 104 Recruiting Apprentices(1/3)
Feng Ranzhou's hands were very hot.
A hot temperature was transmitted from the place where they were close to each other, and even gave Xie Wanyou the illusion that the skin was being burned by fire.
When Xie Wan's humorous count reached the eighth second, Feng Ranzhou seemed to have reacted and moved his fingers, with a tendency to move.
Xie Wanyou originally thought that if Feng Ranzhou didn't hide and allowed her to continue, he would simply lead her on. However, Feng Ranzhou's intention of avoiding was so clear that Xie Wanyou felt that if he didn't want to, even if he forced her to lead him, it would be pointless.
A melon that is twisted is not sweet, and a cat that is masturbated is not fragrant.
However, Xie Wanyou was still a little unwilling. Before Feng Ranzhou could completely remove his hand, he whispered: "My hand is a little cold."
Her words made Feng Ranzhou finally glance towards her, with an unpredictable expression: "You treat me as a hand warmer?"
Xie Wanyou hummed vaguely: "I'm freezing..."
Feng Ranzhi didn't speak, but the hand that was about to move away didn't move again, and it still stayed close to hers.
Xie Wanyou quietly raised the corners of her lips, feeling that she could do it again.
She quietly let out a breath and pretended to look at Taoist Xuanyou on the stage.
That would be great...
She didn't try to hold Feng Ranzhou's hand again. She had to have a certain limit when it came to pushing the envelope. If she went too far, she might not even be able to stick it on.
Maintaining this posture of hands touching the backs of their hands, the two of them did not speak for a while.
What Xie Wanyou said just now was not entirely an excuse to lie to him. She was afraid of the cold, and the temperature had been getting lower and lower recently. She usually hugged Xiaobai to keep warm, but now that Xiaobai was not here, her hands were indeed frozen.
As a fire-type beast, Feng Ranzhou's body temperature was almost comparable to that of a burning stove. Xie Wanyou only held his hand for a short while and felt that his whole body had warmed up, and his palms were so hot that they began to sweat.
Feng Ranzhou should have noticed that the temperature of her hands had increased, but for some unknown reason, he still did not move.
However, Xie Wanyou could no longer bear the heat.
After holding on for almost another stick of incense, Xie Wanyou finally raised the hand next to him and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It's too hot, too hot.
At this time, Feng Ranzhou suddenly asked from the side: "Isn't it cold anymore?"
Xie Wanyou shook his head sarcastically: "No...I'm going to take notes."
When Feng Ranzhou heard this, he snorted slightly, not knowing what it meant.
Xie Wanyou took out "Mysterious Theory of Toxicology" and a pen, glanced aside quietly, and saw Feng Ranzhou's eyes falling lightly not far away, and the worry on his face disappeared at some point.
Why are you suddenly not angry anymore?
Xie Wanyou was confused, but she had figured out what she wanted to know, so she stopped being distracted and listened attentively to Taoist Xuanyou's lectures, and began to write and draw in the book.
Now that she was no longer close to her, Feng Ranzhou put his hands on his knees. He looked around. Although there were people taking notes seriously in books like Xie Wanyou, there were not many.
Feng Ranzhou asked: "Why don't they remember?"
Xie Wanyou lowered his head and wrote: "Because most of them have already studied "The Mysterious Theory of Toxicology", and I just came here this year and have only just started. If I want to keep up with the progress, of course I have to be more serious."
When she mentioned this, Feng Ranzhou remembered that it had only been a few months since she had joined the Bixiao Alchemy Sect, but in such a short period of time, she had not only been promoted to the third level and refined the fourth level perfect elixir, but she had also relied on her own
He was able to refine the six-episode elixir created by Taoist Xuanyou, and gained the favor of Taoist Xuanyou. Even in the entire world of cultivation, this achievement is astonishing.
Even though Xie Wanyou's extraordinary talent accounts for a large part of the reason, her ability to make such rapid progress is also inseparable from her own hard work.
Feng Ranzhou said calmly: "There's no need to be so anxious, they're just mediocre people. Taoist Xuanyou doesn't listen well when you teach them in front of me. Even if I study for another ten years, I won't be as good as you... What do you want me to do?"
Xie Wanyou covered half of his face with a book and his eyes curled up: "Do you really think so?"
"..." Feng Ranzhou looked away: "I don't feel that way now."
"You say angry things, I
Don’t believe it.”
"...Thank you Wanyou!"
After being glared at, Xie Wanyou immediately put down the book, suppressed the raised corners of his mouth, and continued writing seriously.
Feng Ranzhi saw what she was writing with a serious expression, so he lowered his eyes to take a look, and found that what she wrote was not serious notes at all, but scribblings in a notebook.
With black ink, a round tiger paw was drawn, and the paw pads were also black, making it difficult for Feng Ranzhou not to suspect that she was drawing her own paws.
Feng Ranzhou's forehead couldn't help but jump. It was rare for her to praise her, but she was lucky enough to show her true colors right away: "...I think you really don't need to praise her."
Xie Wanyou raised the corners of her lips and smiled without saying a word.
There was no way, with Feng Ranzhou acting like this, it was hard for her not to sell a sword.
Xie Wanyou said bluntly: "I want to touch the tiger's paw, can you touch it for me tonight?"
Feng Ranzhou frowned and flatly refused: "No."
Xie Wanyou groaned and was about to say something when he suddenly heard Taoist Xuanyou on the stage cough heavily, and then raised his voice and shouted: "The male disciple in white clothes in the third row and sixth column to the west, please get up and come back to me.
"
Xie Wanyou was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking for the person Taoist Xuanyou was talking about, and then... looked at Feng Ranzhou beside him.
"Well, it seems I'm talking about you..."
Feng Ranzhi had no expression on his face: "..."
Sooner or later he will kill Taoist Xuanyou as well.
He didn't stand up for a long time, which attracted doubtful looks from many disciples.
Xie Wanyou quietly transmitted the message: "Master Xuanyou just asked where the poison of Dragon Knot Grass comes from. You can answer the poisonous juice secreted by the snake's tail and the poisonous gas sprayed from the snake's mouth."
Although Feng Ranzhou didn't quite understand the relationship between Dragon Knot Grass and snakes, he still answered as she said.
Taoist Xuanyou snorted coldly: "Where does the snake's tail correspond to, and where is the snake's mouth?"
Xie Wanyou continued to transmit the message: "The tail of the snake is the tip of the leaf, and the mouth of the snake is the bud."
Feng Ranzhou answered accordingly, and Taoist Xuanyou reluctantly asked him to sit down.
Xie Wanyou hesitated and said, "Does Master Xuanyou recognize you?"
Feng Ranzhou sneered: "Nine times out of ten."
Xie Wanyou couldn't help but feel ashamed. Feng Ranzhou was not very good at dealing with Master Xuanyou, and Taoist Master Xuanyou deliberately made things difficult for Feng Ranzhou. In this way, Liang Zi's knot became bigger and bigger.
Fortunately, Taoist Xuanyou seemed to just want to beat Feng Ranzhou, so he only called him once, and then let others answer the question.
Most of his questions were tricky, and the other people who were called also hesitated. Occasionally, if someone answered incorrectly or couldn't answer the question correctly, Taoist Xuanyou would scold him mercilessly.
Time passed quickly, and as the sun set in the west, Taoist Xuanyou's lecture came to an end.
"Okay, that's all." Taoist Xuanyou put his hands behind his hands and looked around: "Next, I have something to announce."
He didn't give anyone else any buffering time, and kept saying without surprising, "I intend to recruit a direct disciple in the world of cultivation, but I don't have time to teach my disciples every day, so I can only be a nominal master.
If any disciple meets the requirements, you can recommend it to me, and whoever becomes my disciple will inherit all of my mantle."
As soon as Taoist Xuanyou said this, the whole place was in an uproar.
The heads of the Dan Sect did not expect Taoist Xuanyou to act like this, and they all looked at each other in surprise.
Taoist Xuanyou accepts disciples as long as he accepts them, but how can a majestic heaven-level alchemy master accept other people's apprentices as his direct disciples, while he only regards himself as a nominal master!
This behavior is no longer ridiculous, it can even be called shocking!
...But if the person who did this is Taoist Xuanyou, everything seems to make sense again.
After the surprise, the minds of the various Alchemy Sect leaders immediately became active.
If someone poached their disciple, they would definitely turn against him, but if that person was Taoist Xuanyou - then the situation would be completely different.
You must know that Taoist Xuanyou has no descendants. To put it bluntly, if Taoist Xuanyou passes away in the future, all his wealth will definitely be left to his only disciple.
If their apprentice becomes a prisoner
The direct disciples of Taoist You... Then not only do their apprentices have an additional heaven-level alchemist to teach them, but they can also inherit all of Taoist Xuanyou's legacy.
As the true master of the disciples, they can naturally gain unpredictable benefits from it.
What’s the difference between this and giving it for free?!
Sect Master Yuheng hurriedly asked Sect Master Bixiao, who had the best relationship with Taoist Xuanyou: "Sect Master Shen, is this true?" There is such a good thing in the world!
Sect Leader Shen also looked a little surprised: "Taoist Xuanyou has not discussed this matter with me."
The implication was that he had just learned the news.
Sect Master Yuheng coughed lightly, suppressed the excitement in his voice, and said with a serious expression: "What do you think, Sect Masters, about this?"
The leader of Liuguang Sect smiled and said: "I have no objection. Since Taoist Xuanyou doesn't care, why not let the disciples try it. Even if it doesn't work, it's good to treat it as an experience and gain insights."
Baoyuan Sect Master also said: "This is the truth."
Other sect leaders also expressed their agreement.
What a joke, only a fool would refuse a free offer!
The small Dan sect all agreed, but the decision-making power still rested with the two leaders in the Dan sect.
To be continued...
