After the apprenticeship ceremony, Chu Chen personally entertained Zhang Xiucai.
In the past few days, he was acknowledging relatives and becoming apprentices. He was so busy that he left the scholar in the cold.
"Brother Chu, I have made rapid progress in painting recently. When I make a breakthrough next time, I will give you a picture of a high-quality horse. It can be regarded as a gift this time!"
Zhang Xiucai was high-spirited and full of confidence.
Chu Chen nodded: "Okay, I'll just wait. Don't keep me waiting."
Zhang Xiucai heard the hidden meaning in Chu Chen's words and smiled casually:
"Thank you Ji Yan, I have a vague feeling of a breakthrough. It's not far away."
"That's good." Chu Chen smiled: "Fugui originally wanted to come, but he has just been promoted to a fairy official, and he is serving as the deputy leader of the third class. Deputy Huangmei will strictly discipline him. I'm afraid it will take a while. It will take time to see you.”
"That idiot Fu Gui is so stupid. It's not easy for him to be qualified as an immortal official."
Zhang Xiucai shook his head, quite considerate of Huang Fugui's stupidity, and sighed: "Well, I'm afraid I have to practice in Baihe Academy for a long time, and I won't be able to go back to Xin'an County. Alas, I really miss those days. This period of time is the darkest moment of my life. I am so lucky to meet you and Fugui."
Chu Chen nodded in agreement, so he was.
Zhang Xiucai and Huang Fugui were the first friends he met after enlightenment.
Although the three of them had not known each other for a long time, they had similar temperaments and got along well with each other, forming a deep friendship.
"Hahaha, don't say sensational words, scholar. My younger brother Chen Pengju is also studying at your White Crane Academy. You should help me take care of him on weekdays." Chu Chen patted the scholar on the shoulder.
"That is required!"
The scholar agreed wholeheartedly. He, who likes to brag, was really awesome at this, and he was full of confidence in his behavior:
"I have condensed my wonderful painting skills, and now I have a lot of face in the academy. You can rest assured that your little brother will be taken care of by me."
"Xiucai, it's okay! It's only been a few days and you've become very prosperous."
"Shhhh, be humble, be humble, you can't say that you are prosperous, it's too crazy, you can only say that you are like a fish in water."
"Haha~ Xiucai, you are so humble!"
...
After the apprenticeship ceremony, Taoist Xu Ping and Chu Chen had official duties as immortals and could not stay for a long time. They planned to return to Xin'an County that day.
Chen's mother Zheng was reluctant to leave and tried her best to persuade Chu Chen to stay at home for a longer period of time.
This made Chu Chen quite embarrassed.
Fortunately, Chen's father, Chen Jia, stopped Chen's mother first.
The way of thinking between father and mother is still very different.
After Chu Chen worshiped in the Taoist sect, Chen Jia no longer opposed or hindered him, but instead encouraged and exhorted him.
He was repeatedly told to respect his teacher and teach him how to do it, so that he would not have to worry about his family, work hard, and practice well.
So, Chu Chen returned to Xin'an County with his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, that day, and arrived at Xin'an County that night.
Xu Mansion.
"Phew~ I'm so tired, I'm finally home."
The little kid stretched himself out, yawned again and again, and looked exhausted.
Chu Chen smiled:
"Little devil, why are you tired? Senior brother, I am tired. In the past two days, I have recognized relatives and apprenticed as disciples. The exchange of favors is more tiring than slaying demons!"
The kid chuckled: "My master and senior brother are busy with other things, so I have nothing to do. I go to bed out of boredom every day, and I'm so tired from sleeping that I just want to go out and play early."
"Look at your potential."
Taoist Xu Ping scolded him out of habit.
"Hey hey hey~"
The little ghost smiled and lay on the Taishi chair, enjoying himself.
Taoist Xu Ping ignored the kid and looked at Chu Chen.
"Apprentice, Lord Long will give you a green fruit?"
Chu Chen nodded: "Yes, you said you want to congratulate me on my apprenticeship."
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded slightly: "Is there any other explanation?"
"No, no conditions!"
Chu Chen smiled and said, "Master, does this count as an increase in my apprentice's worth?"
Taoist Master Xu Ping smiled hoarsely: "That's right. Since there are no conditions, there is nothing to worry about. The Jiuyou Pavilion Alliance is also a big force. It will be of great help to you to make friends with the Dragon Lord and your colleagues."
"Apprentice, this Blue Nether Green Fruit is better than the Fire Origin Spirit Fruit you swallowed last time. If you take it today, you should be able to improve your Taoist practice a lot."
After saying that, Taoist Xu Ping looked at his apprentice with envy.
There is the Fire Spirit Fruit, the Holy Spirit Pill, and now there is the Green Fruit.
Back then, when he entered Taoism, he did not have such opportunities.
"Um!"
Chu Chen nodded. He couldn't wait to take the spirit fruit without his master's advice.
Spiritual fruits that enhance cultivation are not something that can be obtained casually.
Not only is it valuable, but sometimes you may not be able to buy it immediately if you have money. There is a price but no market.
"Practice hard tonight. You have to do a lot of homework in the morning and evening these two days!"
After Master Xu Ping finished his instructions, he remembered something again and said:
"Your uncle said that many evil heretics sneaked into Youzhou in the past few days. Let us investigate Xin'an County carefully. If we can find some clues, it will be a big achievement. You have a good rest today, and you will have to do it tomorrow. Arranged errands.”
Chu Chen was slightly surprised and thought of something.
"The remnants of Qian Yin Sha Sect?"
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded slightly: "The superiors attach great importance to them and want to catch them all and eradicate them."
"Well, that's a good thing! If the master can make more contributions and the master uncle can help, it will be easy to get promoted in the future."
Taoist priest Xu Ping shook his head: "Thinking too far, I haven't even had a glimpse of the horoscope yet."
After saying that, Master Xu Ping told Chu Chen to practice his lessons well, then turned and left.
"Brother, I'm leaving too."
"Then go, why aren't you moving?"
"Hehehe, senior brother, I saved some incense here for you, give me two sticks first to quench my thirst!"
Chu Chen was speechless, took out two Yihun Xinxiang sticks from the Xiandong bracelet, handed them to the little ghost boy, and dismissed them.
Speaking of which, Chu Chen's apprenticeship made the kid extremely happy.
It received the incense sticks mercilessly, and received a total of fifty incense sticks, all of which were handed over to Chu Chen for safekeeping.
Who would have thought that the biggest winner turned out to be the little kid, who didn't have to kowtow and had a bulging pocket.
Of course, Chu Chen didn't receive any red envelopes.
The master, Taoist Boyunlei, the second master, Taoist Boyunfeng, and the junior master, Taoist Shu Yunxi, agreed, and each of them presented him with twenty yellow scarf warriors.
This brought the number of troops under Chu Chen's command to 260, among which the Yellow Turban warriors accounted for the majority. There were a total of 190 Yellow Turban warriors, and their strength increased greatly.
One hundred and ninety yellow scarf warriors fired a round of "magic bullets and thunder pills", the power...
Chu Chen felt wonderful just thinking about it.
In addition to the gifts from the elders of his sect, he also received a heavy gift.
Sister Wan'er felt sorry for her younger brother. She was afraid that he would have no money to spend and train soldiers and horses to protect himself, so she secretly stuffed him with two thousand jade coins.
No one is short of money these days.
Sister Wan'er cultivates military and magical powers and spends money like water. She must be short of money herself.
Of course Chu Chen was unwilling to accept it and postponed it repeatedly.
In order to prove that he was rich, he also took out the two thousand jade coins in his hand.
The siblings pushed back and forth for several rounds. Finally, Chu Chen gave in to Sister Wan'er's power and accepted a thousand jade coins.
"Huh~ It's good to have a family, and it's good to have a little more to worry about."
Chu Chen sighed with emotion, took out the spiritual fruit from the bracelet fairy cave, and walked to the pure practice room.
