Chapter 191 The Most Useless Junior Fellow Apprentice!
Lost!
And lost so thoroughly!
This was something that Taoist Xuanye could never have expected beforehand!
With the same materials and the same recipe, others took less than half the time he did to make the elixir.
The result.
The elixir made was nine top-grade on one side and nine top-grade on the other side.
The difference was simply a world of difference!
I have lost face!
Taoist Xuanye was devastated and felt that he had lived like a dog for the past tens of thousands of years.
Otherwise, why couldn't he even beat a teenager?
What made it even harder for him to accept was.
According to the previous agreement, if he lost, he had to become a disciple!
How could he, an old man who had lived for tens of thousands of years and the dignified master of Zhengyi Temple, kowtow and kneel to a little kid as his master?
If the master knew about this, he would be so angry that he would jump out of his grave and kick him to death?
[I am now the only one in Zhengyi Temple. I have the responsibility of revitalizing Zhengyi Temple. How can I change my sect and become a disciple of someone else? ]
[But, I have always kept my promises. What I say is like spilled water. How can I take it back?]
[Ah~~!]
[What should I do now? Should I kneel down and kowtow to someone else as my master?]
The thoughts in Xuanye Taoist's mind kept coming, and he was hesitant.
At the same time, Liu Zimo, who had been waiting impatiently, once again extended his divine will to lock him, and the overwhelming pressure of the divine soul instantly imprisoned him in place.
"Okay, now the competition is over, and the result is obvious!"
Liu Zimo's voice slowly sounded in Xuanye Taoist's ears:
"Master Xuanye, admit defeat. You don't need me to remind you what to do next, right?"
Xuanye Taoist's mind trembled, and he sensed the cold murderous intent hidden in Liu Zimo's calm tone.
He had no doubt that as long as he dared to cheat, the big guy would take his life without hesitation in the next second!
Why is this happening?
This is completely different from what he expected!
At first, he was just excited to see the prey and wanted to take Liu Zihao as his personal disciple to pass on their Zhengyi Temple Taoist tradition.
Why did things turn out like this now?
He failed to accept a disciple, but he had to sacrifice himself!
"There is no order of learning, the one who is more accomplished is the teacher!"
At this time, Liu Zihao also looked at Taoist Xuanye and said softly:
"Master, don't you want to learn better and more advanced alchemy secrets from me?"
"Come on, as long as you take me as your teacher, everything will be at your fingertips!"
Hearing this, Taoist Xuanye's face couldn't help but relax a little.
As an old alchemist who has studied alchemy for a lifetime, he knows best how magical and incredible the alchemy skills Liu Zihao just demonstrated are.
Ordinary fire, ordinary furnace, and even the alchemist is an ordinary warrior who has just broken through the golden body.
Under such circumstances, Liu Zihao can easily refine a furnace of top-quality [Soul Protection and Nourishing Mind Pills] in such a short time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle!
At least, among all the alchemists that Taoist Xuanye knows, including his master Chongxu Zhenren.
None of them can refine such a perfect [Soul Protection and Nourishing Mind Pill] under the same conditions!
From this point of view, Liu Zihao is indeed qualified to be his master!
"You can become my disciple, but the Taoist tradition of Zhengyi Temple cannot be cut off because of this. You can't stop me from reopening the gate of Zhengyi Temple in the future!"
Taoist Xuanye's tone loosened, and he took the opportunity to put forward his own request.
Liu Zihao heard this and said disapprovingly: "These are up to you. Anyway, I want you as a person, not Zhengyi Temple."
"If there is nothing else, start kowtow and become my disciple now. I'm still waiting to go back and water my spiritual medicine!"
Liu Zihao urged calmly.
Seeing this, Taoist Xuanye knew that the other party was already a little impatient. If he continued to push his feet, the butcher knife on his head might really fall.
Plop!
Taoist Xuanye gritted his teeth, fell to his knees in front of Liu Zihao, and prostrated himself on the ground, saying in a trembling voice:
"Disciple Xuanye, I pay my respects to the master!"
...
A few minutes later.
Outside Luozhou City, in an underground cave.
Liu Zimo returned safely with Liu Zihao, who had been missing for almost four hours.
With them came a slovenly old Taoist priest with a gloomy face.
The old Taoist priest followed behind Liu Zihao obediently, bowed his head, and said nothing, like a transparent person.
"Xiaohao, you are finally back. Come and show me, dad, are you not hurt?"
Seeing his youngest son coming back, Liu Yi was very excited. He took Liu Zihao's hand and looked him up and down, fearing that his son had suffered some hidden injuries.
Zhao Hongzhang, Yang Sisi, Lou Yuchen, and the two girls Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao also came over.
A group of people surrounded Liu Zihao to comfort him, and they were very concerned.
No one paid attention to the strange old Taoist behind him, and Taoist Xuanye was happy with it.
Now, he just wanted to be a transparent person, so that no one in the world could see him.
Otherwise, if the news that he, the master of Zhengyi Temple, worshipped an unknown young man as his teacher came out, the reputation of Taoist Xuanye and Zhengyi Temple would fall to the ground.
Taoist Xuanye deliberately reduced his presence here.
But he didn't know that since he entered the spiritual blessed land, the turtle and the tiger who had been sleeping by the spiritual spring had been staring at him.
"Old Turtle, do you think this old Taoist priest looks familiar?"
Hu Dali secretly asked Gui Suishou:
"He not only has the unique spiritual aura of a cultivator in the Spirit Realm, but the skills he practices also clearly have a hint of ancient Taoism. If nothing unexpected happens, he must be an ancient cultivator!"
"Do you think the guy who attacked here before was this old Taoist priest?"
"Otherwise, why would the master bring such a stranger to this spiritual secret realm?"
Gui Suishou poked his head out and glanced at the old Taoist priest, and said in a low voice:
"What kind of look is that? Don't you even recognize the young Taoist priest Xuanye from Zhengyi Temple?"
"Back then, this little guy In order to get a portion of the turtle blood from me, he sent me a lot of delicious food! "
"Although his hair is white, his face is dry, and even his figure is out of shape, his spirit and aura can't deceive the turtle! "
"No wonder Jiao Linglong fell for Long Diexiang's trick before. If it was this little Taoist priest who did it, it wouldn't be surprising at all!"
Hu Dali was also shocked when he heard it, and said in a lost voice:
"The little junior brother in Zhengyi Temple who is known as the most useless?"
"Are you kidding me? He has also broken through to the spiritual realm?"
"Isn't it said that his cultivation talent is average, and he is useless except for refining pills?"
It still has some impression of Xuanye of Zhengyi Temple.
A guy with a great talent for alchemy, but his martial arts and spiritual cultivation talents are all terrible.
Chongxu Zhenren received nine people in his life. Except for Xuanye, the other eight people were all excellent in both alchemy and martial arts, and they were successful in spiritual cultivation, shining an era.
Only this Xuanye, whose cultivation strength is not even as good as many inner disciples in Zhengyi Temple, is much inferior in comparison, and is completely unworthy of his status as a true disciple.
Therefore, nicknames such as "useless little junior brother" or "useless little uncle" spread like wildfire and became known to everyone.
"Tsk, what's so strange about this?" The old turtle curled his lips and said, "As long as you live long enough, what kind of cultivation can't be cultivated?"
"Even you, Dalihu, successfully broke through to the spiritual realm after practicing hard for tens of thousands of years, didn't you?"
"This little Taoist priest Xuanye has an amazing talent in alchemy. It is hard to guarantee that he has not refined some elixir, so he has such an achievement!"
"You know, under normal circumstances, with the cultivation strength of this little Taoist priest, he will definitely not survive the ten thousand years of the Dharma Ending Age!"
Hu Dali heard this and nodded in understanding.
As a person who has been there, it is naturally the most clear that none of the ancient creatures who have been able to survive from the Dharma Ending Age to the present are simple characters.
This young Taoist priest Xuanye has been able to live until now when his spiritual energy has revived again. He can be considered a figure!
Hmm?
Sensing that someone seemed to be spying on him secretly, Taoist Xuanye's mind moved, and soon he found the existence of the two beasts, Tiger Dali and Turtle Suishou, following the direction of the soul fluctuations.
Then, the old Taoist priest instantly became uneasy!
[The Great Power Venerable of the Dragon and Tiger Sect? ! ]
[And, the Divine Turtle of the Tongtian Sect? ! ]
[Why are they here too? ! ]
[No way, are they also like the Linglong Venerable, all of them have been taken in by Liu Zimo and recognized as their master? ! ]
[Should I be so exaggerated? ]
[They are the guardian beasts of the Dragon and Tiger Sect and the Tongtian Sect. How can they worship the same person as their master? ]
[What is the identity and origin of this Liu Zimo, and why is he so favored by the three ancient guardian beasts? ]
Taoist Xuanye was shocked.
Originally, he felt it was incredible to see that Linglong Venerable accepted Liu Zimo as his master and let him ride him.
In his memory, Linglong Venerable was the face of the Dragon and Tiger Sect. Even when Wuyou Patriarch was alive, he rarely used him as a mount in public.
Therefore, when he saw Liu Zimo standing on Linglong Venerable's dragon head and suddenly descending on Zhengyi Temple, the old Taoist priest was surprised and hurried out to explain and apologize.
But now, what did he see?
The other guardian beast of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, Dali Venerable, and the guardian tortoise of the Tongtian Sect, were all gathered together!
More importantly, whether it was Dali Venerable or the tortoise, the aura on their bodies was as heavy as a mountain, and they all seemed to have recovered to the peak state of their cultivation.
Especially Dali Venerable, Taoist Xuanye also sensed the unique soul realm aura of the spiritual realm cultivator from it.
It is not difficult to guess that the Great Power Venerable must have successfully broken through the realm and advanced to the Spirit Realm, reaching the supreme realm of spiritual and martial arts!
But even so, it and the divine turtle all lay in a corner of the secret realm in a very disciplined manner, not daring to cross the line or be presumptuous, and were extremely honest.
From this, it is not difficult to see that they are also extremely awed and wary of the owner of this place.
Otherwise, according to their irritable nature in ancient times, even if they recognized the master, they would never behave so calmly and quietly!
Therefore, Taoist Xuanye felt more and more shocked and incredible.
Even the strongest spirit beasts in the realm of spiritual and martial arts can be tamed and subdued by the other party!
Such magical means, even if the old ancestor Wuyou and Taoist Tongtian were resurrected, they would not be able to do so much, right?
"Why, little Taoist, are you surprised?"
After returning, Jiao Linglong turned into a mini snake and lay on Liu Zimo's shoulder. He noticed the change in Taoist Xuanye's expression and mood, and could not help but secretly remind him:
"To tell you the truth, our new master is very likely the reincarnation of Taoist Tongtian!"
"Otherwise, why do you think he can have such a strong cultivation strength at such an old age?"
"Otherwise, why do you think our three spirit beasts are willing to serve him as their master and guard him?"
"One person's enlightenment will bring success to the whole family!"
"The master will surely be able to successfully ascend to the sainthood in this life. By then, we, the spirit pets who have been following him since early in the morning, will naturally be able to get close to the water tower, sense the laws of the avenue one step ahead of others, and even transcend this world with the master!"
" Little Taoist priest, don't feel wronged for being a disciple of my master's younger brother. As you know, this is also a rare opportunity that many people desire but cannot obtain! "
"Therefore, I advise you not to have any more ghost thoughts in the future. Stay by your master's side and study the way of alchemy, improve your cultivation, and there will be endless benefits in the future! "
"Otherwise, if you cause dissatisfaction to my master, not only will you die, but the inheritance of Zhengyi Temple will also be completely cut off! "
"This is because the Dragon Tiger Taoist Sect and Zhengyi Temple have a good relationship before, so I hide this from my master. I hope you can recognize your current identity and don't cut off your own life! "
Jiao Linglong took the opportunity to knock on the old Taoist Xuanye, and the old Taoist was nervous again.
The reincarnation of Tongtian Taoist?!
No wonder!
No wonder he has a powerful strength that is close to the holy realm at a young age!
No wonder he could bring all the spiritual beasts of the two major sects, Longhu and Tongtian, under his command!
No wonder he could break the protective spiritual formation in Zhengyi Temple so easily!
If he was the reincarnation of Tongtian Taoist, all this could be explained!
After all, Tongtian Taoist back then was the only powerful existence who had half a foot in the true saint realm in their era!
Even Xuanye Taoist's master Chongxu Zhenren could only bow down in front of Tongtian Taoist!
"Thank you for your advice, Venerable Linglong. I know what to do now!"
Xuanye Taoist bowed his head gently to Venerable Linglong and thanked him secretly.
After that, the old Taoist stood beside Liu Zihao with peace of mind, no longer lonely, depressed and unwilling.
Whether it was his body or his mentality, he became peaceful and stable.
Since it has come, then make peace with it.
Even the Linglong Venerable, the Dali Venerable, and the divine turtle of the Tongtian Dao Sect willingly bowed down to Liu Zimo.
Compared to them, he Xuanye was just a nobody, so why should he feel wronged or unwilling?
It was not shameful to fall into the hands of the reincarnation of the Tongtian Dao Sect!
