Ruan Li raised his head in shock and forgot to react for a moment.
Seeing this, the smile on the old man's face became even brighter. The deep wrinkles were bunched together like ravines, and he smiled like a dumpling: "How is it?"
Without waiting for Ruan Li to answer, He Jiuzhang hurriedly spoke: "Uncle Master, you..."
"If you want to take her in, won't she become our junior sister? Aren't these generations in chaos?"
"That's right!" Wan Qiu also said: "Besides, uncle, all the disciples of Shennong Hall are striving for excellence. Why do you accept such a mortal with no spiritual power? She can pass the test because of good luck. You Don’t say you want to take her in just because you feel sorry for her!”
Furong also expressed her opinion calmly: "The two senior brothers are right. Uncle, don't be playful again. What kind of place is Shennong Hall? Our entire Tiangui Sect relies on Shennong Hall for its supply of elixirs. All the alchemists in the world have to take care of and cultivate spiritual plants on a daily basis. How can this be something that a mere mortal can do?"
Hu Yang and Gu Cinian also nodded. It was obvious that they did not support the uncle's actions at this time.
Ruan Li's happy mood was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and his mood instantly cooled down.
But the old man waved his hand indifferently, and his tone was still lazy and smiling: "Hey, isn't this the fifth hall to pick new people? Why did you let you pick the capable ones? I am old and pick the rest. , are you still unwilling?"
"That's not it..." He Jiuzhang wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the old man.
"Shennong Hall is also one of the five major halls. As the leader of the hall, it is natural for me to select people. Although this kid has no spiritual power, isn't good luck a kind of strength?"
"You are all cultivators, and you also know that opportunities in the world and all things are hard to come by. What's wrong with relying on luck if you are so unlucky that you never encounter a chance in your life? If you are unlucky, this baby would have died long ago. How can you still do this? Are you kneeling here?"
"In any case, it makes sense for me to choose her today. She has no spiritual power, so it would be good for her to help me clean the yard."
"As for seniority, wouldn't it be enough to let her enter and call me Master?"
Seeing how stubborn the uncle was, several elders wanted to say something, but He Jiuzhang waved his hand and said: "Forget it, since the uncle feels that he is attracted to this girl, let her become a disciple of Shennong Hall. Shennong Hall There haven’t been any new disciples for decades, it’s time to add someone new!”
The leader has said so, so others are not willing to do useless work.
The old man then raised his mustache and smiled, looked at Ruan Li who looked astonished and urged: "You still don't want to pay homage to the master?"
Ruan Li came to his senses and kowtowed quickly: "Disciple Ruan Li, pay homage to the master..."
Unexpectedly, after saying this, the tight string on Ruan Li's body seemed to finally loosen, and he rolled his eyes and fainted!
In the sea of consciousness, there was a black turbid air that seemed to cover something. Ruan Li, who was in a coma, could only see a faint golden light through the gaps in the turbid air.
The light was fast and slow, bright and dark, very unstable.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already seven days later.
His body was light and there was no pain after a serious injury. Ruan Li tried it on his own and sat up easily.
Recovered?
Looking around, she saw a small room with a small space. The windows were open, and the bright sunshine came in, which made her feel a lot better when she first woke up.
There is a set of white clothes next to the bed, which is the uniform style of the new disciples of the Tiangui Sect. Ruan Li took off his clothes, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped out of the room.
Outside is a large courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard is a ten-year-old spiritual plant. Ten people are surrounding such a thick trunk, and the branches are lush and leafy, which is very spectacular.
My house is only in the corner of the yard, and the main room is facing the ten thousand-year-old spiritual plant. The doors and windows are closed at this time. I wonder if it is the master's residence.
"you're awake."
A vicissitudes of voice suddenly sounded, startling Ruan Li.
Li Xianyong came in from the front door dressed in plain clothes. He was thin but elegant, and there was no drag in his steps.
"Disciple, see Master." Ruan Li quickly lowered his head and called for someone.
Li Xianyong walked straight to the main room and said to Ruan Li from behind: "Come in with me!"
Hearing this, Ruan Li didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly followed.
The main room has a grand appearance, but the interior is extremely simple. The strong aroma of ebony can make people calm down immediately.
Li Xianyong sat cross-legged from the tea table and motioned for Ruan Li to sit opposite.
After Ruan Li sat down obediently, the first thing Li Xianyong said was: "Don't call me master in private from now on, call me master!"
ah?
Ruan Li blinked, a little confused.
Li Xianyong smiled kindly, but his eyes were not cloudy at all. He only said: "I asked you to call me master to silence others, but since I have chosen you, I will be your master!"
There is a generation gap between Master and Master, but there is also a layer of intimacy between them, so Master seems to be closer.
Ruan Li quickly adjusted his sitting posture to kneeling: "Disciple Ruan Li pays homage to the master. I would like to thank the master for not disliking me and accepting me as his disciple."
Li Xianyong stroked his mustache and smiled so hard that his teeth could not be seen.
"Okay, I have something to ask you, Master."
"Master, please tell me everything your disciple knows!"
Li Xianyong didn't show off, and asked directly: "Master asked you, before your spiritual wisdom and spiritual roots are awakened, what kind of pills, spiritual plants, etc. have you taken since you were a child?"
Ruan Li shook his head after hearing this: "Because the disciple has no cultivation qualifications, he is not qualified to eat these good things. The family is not as good as the Tiangui sect, and the resources are scarce. With good things like elixirs, spiritual plants, etc., they must be left for use. of the person.”
Li Xianyong nodded lightly: "My master analyzed your body when you were unconscious, and you took the pill on the day of the trial!"
"Yes, my disciple encountered a monster that day and almost lost his life. I don't know who gave the disciple the pill when he was unconscious!" Ruan Li answered truthfully: "Later, I met the two brothers from the Mu family and saved my disciple. Give your disciple a calming pill."
"My disciple was lucky enough to save his life only because of the pills they generously donated!"
After listening to Ruan Li's words, Li Xianyong looked slightly confused, and finally shook his head: "This doesn't make sense!"
"What's wrong, master?" Ruan Li was confused and didn't know why the master said that.
"When I analyzed it, I found that the pills you took were Dingshen Pill and Yuling Pills, and the number of Yuling Pills should be two! Taking these three pills should make your injuries gradually heal. As a result, you But he fainted at the last moment!"
"That's not all. I've given you a lot of pills in the past seven days, all of which are better than Yuling Pills and Dingshen Pills, but you still haven't woken up and have been in a coma for seven days!"
"I observed your pulse and found that most of the spiritual energy of the elixir has disappeared, and I don't know where it went!"
