The vice-president of the Metaphysics Association is called Chang Xuan, and because of his great ability, people respectfully call him Chang Lao.
Thirty years ago, Chang Xuan accidentally met a dirty little beggar when he was traveling. The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old.
It was winter at that time, with cold wind and heavy snowfall.
The little beggar was wearing a thin and torn cloth coat with patches all over his trouser legs. He was standing barefoot in the snow begging.
The little beggar's lips were purple from the cold, his feet were red from the cold, and he stood there shivering.
Chang Xuan felt compassion at the first sight of him, because he could see that this child had extraordinary bones and was very talented. If he was well cultivated, he would definitely achieve great things in the future.
Chang Xuan was already the vice president of the Metaphysics Association at that time, but he was also ambitious, and his goal was not just the vice president.
What he wants is the position of president of the Metaphysics Association.
But the then president of the Metaphysics Association, Xu Changhai, was not only better than him in ability but also in cultivation. The most important thing was that Xu Changhai had a close disciple named Feng Yongming.
Feng Yongming has outstanding abilities and talents. At a young age, he has become the number one person in metaphysics among the younger generation in the association. He is very proud of Xu Changhai.
But when he was old and didn't even have an apprentice, he lost when it came to winning people's hearts, and he lost completely.
And his cultivation level had reached a bottleneck period, so he wanted to travel around China to see if he could find a way to help him break through his cultivation level.
Now that he has not found a way to help him break through his cultivation level, he has met a genius, and this little beggar is a lifeline for him.
This child had extraordinary bones and even better talent than Feng Yongming back then, so he felt compassion and wanted to accept him as his close disciple.
If his achievements surpass Feng Yongming in the future, then people in the association will look at him differently, so that he can prove to everyone that he can also teach geniuses, and that he is no worse than Xu Changhai.
Chang Xuan took out a piece of cake from the bag and handed it to the little beggar and asked: "My child, what is your name?"
The little beggar's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out to take the cake and ate it in big mouthfuls. Because he ate so quickly, he choked.
Chang Xuan took out a bottle of water from her bag and handed it to him, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
The little beggar took the water and drank a few gulps, and the choking feeling was relieved. He carefully said "thank you", then shook his head and replied: "I don't have a name, my parents passed away when I was very young. "
He survived until now by begging. More than ten years later, he could no longer remember his name, so it was no different than having no name.
Chang Xuan felt deeply and immediately asked: "Boy, are you willing to become my teacher?"
The little beggar looked at him in surprise. This man looked very rich in his clothes, and the bracelets on his hands were worth a lot of money.
Chang Xuan saw that he had been staring at her bracelet, so she immediately took it off and announced her family background: "I am the vice president of the Kyoto Metaphysics Association. Today, seeing that you are destined to me, I can make an exception and accept you as my assistant." Close disciple, are you willing?"
"If you are willing, then this rosewood bracelet will be your apprenticeship ceremony."
The little beggar was even more shocked. He didn't expect that the man in front of him was actually the vice president of the Metaphysics Association? !
He has heard of this association, it is very powerful!
I didn't expect that he would bump into me today. Is he still willing to accept me as his disciple? If you become a disciple of him, you will never have to worry about not having enough to eat in the future.
So he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to Chang Xuan, "Master, come again, please accept my disciple's bow!"
Soon he stood up after kowtowing, bowed to Chang Xuan again, and said, "I do!"
Chang Xuan nodded with satisfaction and handed the bracelet to him.
The little beggar took the bracelet and looked left and right. He liked it so much that it took him a while to get enough of it and put it on his hand.
Chang Xuan said: "Now that you worship me as your teacher, you will be a member of the Metaphysics Association from now on, and your name will be Zuo Changxuan from now on."
Zuo Changxuan nodded immediately and said: "Thank you, Master, for giving me the name!"
"Yeah." Chang Xuan was very satisfied with his reaction. People in Xuanmen are also particular about naming, and he also had selfish motives in naming. Zuo Changxuan not only meant to assist Chang Xuan, but also was a person. Good name.
Chang Xuan glanced at him again, "The way you look now is too detrimental to the image of the association. Let's go. I'll take you to change clothes first."
"Okay." Zuo Changxuan threw away the broken bowl and followed him closely.
After everything was done, Chang Xuan took him back to the association and announced that he was his new closed disciple.
Zuo Changxuan was very talented. He learned all the low-level spells in just two years, which even took a little less time than Feng Yongming did back then.
Back then, Feng Yongming was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius in the association, but it took him two and a half years to learn all the low-level spells. As expected, Zuo Changxuan was much better than Feng Yongming. .
But after all, Feng Yongming had been in the association much longer than Zuo Changxuan, and Xu Changhai taught him personally. It would not be possible to catch up with him in a short time.
Zuo Changxuan himself is also very competitive. He studies hard every day in order to one day surpass Feng Yongming.
In the end, with his unremitting efforts, he successfully defeated Feng Yongming in the new competition and became the well-deserved number one among the younger generation of the association.
As time went by, Zuo Changxuan found that his ambitions gradually grew, and he was no longer satisfied with the title of the first young metaphysician.
What he wants is to become the most powerful mysterious master in the association.
More than once, he heard his master praise his talent and intelligence, saying that he would have a bright future and that he could even surpass him given time.
Driven by honor and money, Zuo Changxuan gradually lost his true nature. He was no longer the little beggar who simply didn't want to go hungry.
By chance, he overheard the conversation between the master and the president. During the conversation, they mentioned an ancient secret book. They said that the ancient book contained many advanced spells.
Zuo Changxuan wrote down the name of the ancient book and left quietly.
After he came back, he went to the library to look for it for a long time but could not find the book. He simply asked the master himself.
Chang Xuan was curious about how he knew this secret book, and Zuo Changxuan felt guilty and found an excuse to explain it away.
Chang Xuan then told him that because the book was very important, only he and the president had the right to keep it.
Zuo Changxuan's heart skipped a beat and asked: "Master, I have almost learned many spells now. Now I want to learn the advanced spells in this book. Can you teach me?"
