Chapter 104 Recruiting Apprentices(2/3)
Sect Master Yuheng asked Sect Master Tianyuan cautiously: "I wonder what Qi Sect's plan is?"
Tianyuan Sect Master glanced at Taoist Xuanyou on the stage, and hid the displeasure in his eyes: "My disciples do not need the guidance of another heaven-level alchemy master, so they will not participate. You are free to do so."
"but……"
Sect Master Tianyuan turned to Sect Master Shen and said with some pointer: "It's better not to have too much hope. Everyone says that Sect Master Shen has a good relationship with Taoist Xuanyou. It's not yet known who will be the disciple in the end."
Sect Master Shen replied calmly: "Sect Master Qi, do you mean that Taoist Xuanyou will open a back door for my disciples?"
Sect Leader Qi curled his lips coldly: "I never said that."
Sect Master Shen: "Every Sect Master has their own judgment on whether the back door has been opened. If Sect Master Qi is really worried, it is better to supervise it personally to ensure fairness."
Hearing this, Sect Master Qi's eyes became cold: "Since Sect Master Shen said this, I won't shirk it - Zeru, Jinzhi, you guys will go up and try it out soon."
His two apprentices immediately stepped forward and responded respectfully.
Seeing this, the other sect leaders murmured in their hearts.
Sect Leader Shen is also true. Originally, if Tianyuan Dan Sect did not participate, their disciples would have two less powerful enemies. Now, the chance has become even slimmer.
In fact, they also know in their hearts that if they want to say which alchemy sect currently has the most talented young disciples, they are only the Bixiao alchemy sect and the Tianyuan alchemy sect.
The last disciples that Taoist Xuanyou accepted were probably from these two alchemy sects.
As for their disciples, they still know how much they weigh. The hope of being selected is slim, and there is a high probability that they can only follow them.
But what if?
What if Taoist Xuanyou’s requirement is not outstanding talent, but something else?
With such luck, the sect leaders informed Taoist Xuanyou of the results of their discussion. Taoist Xuanyou was very satisfied and clapped his hands: "I don't like to deal with complicated things, so let's use the simplest way."
Taoist Xuanyou: "Just refine the Gold Return Pill. If you have a chance, whoever refines the fifth-grade Gold Return Pill will be my personal disciple."
"Gold returns the elixir!" Sect Leader Yuheng was stunned, wondering: "I'm afraid this is not an elixir that these juniors can refine in one go..."
The leader of the Liuguang Sect also said: "The Gold Return Pill requires extremely high precision in its refining. If it is not handled well, the pill will be destroyed. It is only given one chance to refine a fifth-grade product. It is really too harsh. Even if it is
We can’t guarantee success, and it’s even less possible for these juniors to do it, right?”
Gold Return Pill is a very special elixir. It has no fixed grade. It can be grade one or grade nine. The grade depends on the ability of the alchemist. Because refining is extremely difficult, only one out of ten can be achieved.
There is no chance that the refining can be successful. Taoist Xuanyou also asked to refine the fifth-grade gold returning elixir at once. This is almost an impossible condition in the ears of various alchemy sect masters.
But Xuanyou Taoist people don’t care
The demands he made were outrageous, and he said angrily: "It's not like I will die if I don't accept a disciple. If no one can refine the fifth-grade gold return elixir, at worst, I won't accept any disciples - okay,
If there are no other questions, let’s start now.”
After he finished speaking, the disciples in the entire dojo looked at each other in shock.
Just the requirement to refine fifth-grade elixirs turned away a large number of people.
Some people couldn't help but ask Taoist Xuanyou: "Why do you have to be a fifth-grade alchemist? Master, don't you accept disciples below fifth-grade?"
Taoist Xuanyou said kindly: "Because I am old, I cannot wait for the little alchemists below the fifth grade to upgrade slowly. By the time they advance to the heavenly level, I will have been buried long ago, so I need a ready-made fifth grade."
Alchemist, can you understand what I say?"
In short, I am too lazy to wait and want to pick up a ready-made fifth-grade apprentice.
The man didn't expect Taoist Xuanyou's reason to be so simple and crude. He couldn't help but was dumbfounded and stammered: "Ming... I understand."
There was nothing to argue about now, all disciples of the fourth grade and above were on stage.
Xie Wanyou also looked at his master. Sect Master Shen's expression did not change much. He glanced at Xie Wanyou first, and then called Wen Linjian to say something.
Wen Linjian nodded and walked over quickly.
Xie Wanyou asked curiously: "Elder brother, what did the master just say?"
Wen Linjian glanced at Feng Ranzhou beside her, and then said: "Master asked all three of us to try it, and also asked me to tell other Bixiao disciples that anyone who wants to try can go."
Xie Wanyou nodded and saw Wen Linjian glare at Feng Ranzhou, then turned and left, telling the other Bixiao disciples what Sect Leader Shen said one by one, which triggered a lively discussion.
Only then did Luo Ruxi come to Xie Wanyou with Xiaobai in her arms: "Are you leaving?"
Xie Wanyou put down his notebook and pen: "Let's go..."
Luo Ruxi: "That Xiaobai——"
Xie Zhuoxing immediately flew to Feng Ranzhou's shoulder, clasped his paws together, squatted down obediently, turned to Xie Wanyou and Luo Ruxi and said childishly: "Mom and aunt, go quickly, Xiaobai is waiting for you here~"
Xie Wanyou couldn't help but want to rub its little head again: "Okay, then mother will go, Xiaobai~"
Xie Zhuoxing's eyes lit up, his tail immediately began to shake, and his claws were so happy that he stepped on Feng Ranzhou's shoulders: "Huh!"
Feng Ranzhi was swept across his face and neck by its wagging tail, and he grabbed it from his shoulders with a dark face: "If you keep getting tired of it, your mother will never even think about making elixirs."
Luo Ruxi snickered and pulled Xie Wanyou: "Let's go, let's go."
Xie Wanyou followed Luo Ruxi there.
By the time Xie Zhuoxing tried his best to escape from Feng Ranzhou's clutches, Xie Wanyou was already on stage.
Xie Zhuoxing looked at it in despair for a while, then turned around and stared at Feng Ranzhou seriously.
Feng Ranzhou: "...are you okay?"
Xie Zhuoxing touched Feng Ranzhou's hand with his little paw and looked up at him: "Xiao Bai saw it. Uncle Fox just touched my mother's hand."
Feng Ranzhi paused: "Your mother posted it herself."
Xie Zhuoxing tilted his head: "Really?"
Feng Ranzhou: "She said her hands were cold."
Xie Zhuoxing asked: "If Aunt Ruxi has cold hands, will Uncle Fox touch her hands?"
Feng Ranzhou was silent for a while: "Absolutely impossible."
Xie Zhuoxing thought for a while and nodded: "Then Xiaobai understands."
Feng Ranzhi stared at its round little head suspiciously: "What do you understand?"
Xie Zhuoxing twitched the tips of his ears and affirmed: "Uncle Fox likes my mother! So I just want to touch her hand~"
Feng Ranzhou frowned: "I don't like her."
Xie Zhuoxing didn't believe it. She squatted on his knees, shook her head and said, "My mother said that if you like someone, you only prefer one person among many people."
It tried to use an analogy: "For example... there are many kittens that want to be hugged by their mother, but because they like Xiaobai, the mother will only hug Xiaobai every time."
"Just like Uncle Fox
It feels like I want to touch my mother’s hand!”
"..." Feng Ranzhou never loosened his brows: "When did I say that I only wanted to touch your mother's hand?"
Xie Zhuoxing: "Then whose hand will Uncle Fox touch?"
Feng Ranzhou couldn't answer and fell silent.
He hates being touched by others, let alone touching hands. Just being near him will make him irritated.
Xie Wanyou...it is indeed different.
Feng Ranzhou didn't know who he was trying to convince: "It's just that I'm used to it."
Xie Zhuoxing: "I just like it!"
Feng Ranzhi glared at it: "I don't like it."
Xie Zhuoxing: "That's right!"
Feng Ranzhou was too lazy to argue with the cub about these meaningless things. He placed one hand around its mouth and manually shut it up.
Xie Zhuoxing was so angry: "Uh-huh!"
Just cover your mouth if you can't speak. Uncle Fox is unethical!
Feng Ranzhou fought with the cub with one hand and looked up at the stage.
Feng Ranzhou knew that Taoist Xuanyou’s most preferred disciple candidate was Xie Wanyou, but with Taoist Xuanyou’s temperament, if Xie Wanyou could not meet his requirements today, he would definitely be rejected by Taoist Xuanyou.
As Taoist Xuanyou said, he would not accept disciples at worst. If Xie Wanyouzhen could refine the fifth-grade Golden Return Pill, he would be able to accept disciples openly.
It's a gamble.
When Sect Master Shen allowed Xie Wanyou to come to power, it was equivalent to acquiescing to his actions.
Feng Ranzhou thought like this and looked at Xie Wanyou. She was standing in front of a pile of herbs and thinking deeply.
Xie Wanyou has not yet reached the fifth level. If he really wants to refine the fifth-level Golden Return Pill and succeed in it all at once, the possibility is actually very low.
Taoist Xuanyou did not give any preference to Xie Wanyou because he was interested in her. If you really counted, other more experienced disciples obviously had a greater chance of winning.
In the end, there were twenty-five disciples left on the field. Seeing these twenty-five people starting the furnace one after another and preparing to make elixirs, the sect leaders couldn't help but feel excited.
The disciples from various sects who remained in their positions began to discuss in low voices:
"Who do you think will become Taoist Xuanyou's disciple in the end?"
To be continued...
