Observation of emotions is Feng Linwen's basic skill. I can't say that it has been fully utilized, but a high rank is inevitable.
So even though Tieguai Li's face was quite fierce, Feng Linwen could hear the kindness in his tone.
"Then I dare to ask senior, have I passed the test?" Feng Linwen asked as if he was being disrespectful.
But he also admitted his little thoughts in disguise.
Sometimes others grab pigtails, which is not something shameful or unacceptable. As long as it's handled properly, it's a way to quickly get closer to each other.
Tieguai Li looked at Feng Linyi, and the beard around his lips suddenly trembled a few times. Under the thick beard, his face, which originally looked a little stiff, seemed to become more lively as the beard trembled.
"You can call me master now!" Tieguai Li said.
Feng Linwen was slightly startled, didn't he say there was another level?
Or maybe...the two relationships were tested consecutively without him knowing?
"Of course, it's also possible that I'm too good and Tieguai Li couldn't help but want to take me under his wing quickly to avoid being intercepted by others." Feng Linhuo skipped such an idea in a coquettish way.
Tieguai Li slapped him in the face in time and said: "You can only be regarded as a registered disciple of Pindao now. In fact... it is only recently that we can connect with you so-called galactic human race, resolve the stalemate, and carry out civilization integration." According to your statement...Pindao, I openly accept disciples, which can be regarded as a 'pilot'."
"Including you, Pindao has a total of more than 370 registered disciples."
Although Feng Linwen was a little surprised when he heard this number, he didn't feel discouraged or disappointed.
The biggest illusion in life is to think that you are unique.
Indeed, from some perspectives, this is correct. After all, there are no two identical leaves in the world.
However, few people are irreplaceable when it comes to social functions.
However, many people tend to overestimate their own importance.
A clear understanding of one's own status and weight is one of the most important criteria for becoming a person who is at least not confused.
In the Galaxy Era, there are countless talented people with qualifications, abilities, and good intentions. Of course, Feng Linwen would not think that he was unique.
As for the fact that I haven't met any 'peers' all the way through the assessment, I'm afraid it's because Tieguai Li's way of assessing his disciples is not the conventional comparison and competition, but rather some kind of individual quality test.
And for most people, the time to apply for assessment is also different.
"Sang Shanzi should have told you! There are a total of five assessments here as a teacher."
Speaking of this, Tieguai Li's eyes became even deeper.
"He is the new chief disciple of Taoist Brother Chunyang in this era. This time... it was Pindao who borrowed him to help with management. He actually favors you. Maybe you really have something special. .”
"In this case, I will give you a choice. In the alchemy furnace behind me, there is a furnace of three-turn golden elixir. Any mortal who takes it can ascend to immortality. According to your words, it means directly entering the sixth level. And... ··I guarantee that there will be no worries for the future. The beauty of the three-turn golden elixir is not at the expense of consuming potential. It is about letting the golden elixir replace a person in the elixir furnace and go through vicissitudes of cultivation to become an immortal, and then cultivate everything. Enlightenment is transferred to the person who swallows it." Tieguai Li's explanation can be said to be very careful.
But again, the more carefully he spoke, the more seriously he paid attention to the hidden information.
"Then, I have a final question for you. Are you willing to become a true disciple of Pindao, or are you willing to take away the golden elixir in the elixir furnace behind you?" Tieguai Li asked indifferently, seemingly not considering that at all. The third-turn golden elixir that directly creates a true immortal is in his eyes.
Indeed, it is said that Tieguai Li was inspired by Lao Tzu and was known as the King of Medicine. Although the third-turn golden elixir is precious, for him, it may really be just a matter of convenience.
As if to strengthen his persuasion, Tieguai Li continued: "You don't have to worry about the poor Taoist deceiving you. If you don't believe it, you can take the golden elixir directly, or you can use a contract to invite a certain Taoist friend. , as a third-party arbitration.”
Tieguai Li said this to the point where his status was reduced. Logically speaking, it was impossible to go to such an extent.
You must ask for something from others.
Is Feng Linwen struggling in his heart?
Of course there is!
But that was only a moment.
He is now laying an extraordinary foundation. From the average person's point of view, if a golden elixir reaches the sixth level, it is of course an excellent thing.
But Feng Linwen was worried that the foundation he had built so hard would be destroyed by the powerful power of this golden elixir.
Not to mention that Feng Linyi's true energy could swallow even the will of heaven, but he couldn't swallow a single golden elixir.
To give the simplest example, which one is easier to swallow, a grain of sand or a steamed bun the size of an iron pot?
No matter how strong God's will is, it is still too small and weak.
Although the golden elixir is beneficial to people, the energy it contains is too powerful. Even if it does not consume the human body's potential, it will inevitably change the foundation and destroy past efforts.
Just like if you want to practice Bei Ming and gain seventy years of skill, you must first abolish your previous martial arts.
"Using the third-turn golden elixir as a bait to test, we also want to test some kind of 'mind'. It seems that Tieguai Li, this cheap master, really encountered a big problem. So the question is, what is the problem, and what else can it do? Is it difficult to live in the Eight Immortals in the cave?" Feng Linwen frowned and did not make a choice quickly.
Normal people have to struggle to some extent when faced with temptation.
Feng Linwen did not surrender to Jin Dan immediately, but he was already determined.
"Of course, you only have this chance, and the consequences of being clever are nothing. Pindao guarantees that even if you truly become my master's disciple, my master will never be able to refine a third-turn golden elixir for you in the future. You only have this one chance to get it." Tieguai Li's tone was full of bewitchment. But... I'm very new to business, maybe because I haven't asked the devil for advice before!
"If you have difficulties, you must choose a person with low cultivation level and a native species of the Galaxy Era to handle it. And to handle this matter... you must have excellent reaction ability, a firm mind, and face... ·Or the ability to resist temptation." Even though Tieguai Li opened his mouth to confuse, Feng Linfan was only thinking about the purpose behind it.
Delaying time is not the answer, there is a time limit, and he still has to make a choice in the end.
Even if you don't swallow the third-turn golden elixir yourself, it is still a huge gain to save it...
Because of the ten covenants, the relationship between master and disciple is sometimes similar to the concept of an old worker leading a group of young workers in a factory. In essence, it is difficult to have some kind of technical inheritance.
Therefore, even if he became a disciple of Tieguai Li, he would only have a relationship with the Eight Immortals of Shangdong in a roundabout way.
Whether others recognize him or not depends on whether he is excellent.
"Master! I also have a question, and I won't be happy if I don't say it."
"If master can solve the disciple's doubts, maybe the disciple will also have the answer." Feng Linwen thought about it carefully and gave such an answer.
Most of Tieguai Li's face was hidden behind a thick beard, and the expression on his face could not be clearly seen, but it seemed to be gloomy.
"Let me ask, I will decide whether to answer or not."
