Chapter 17: Becoming an Apprentice (Three)
Updating in progress
————————————————————————————
"Little brother, how did you see that I am a cultivator? And how do you know that I have the strength of the Yuan Ying period?" The middle-aged man asked straightforwardly. In fact, he had just felt that there was residual spiritual energy in Yifeng's body and thought it was very unexpected, so he talked to Yifeng, but didn't expect to be pointed out by Yifeng one after another about some hidden things.
"Uh..." Yi Feng's mind was racing, but he still couldn't come up with a good excuse.
Zhan Tian gave Yi Feng a hint, and Yi Feng replied accordingly: "Not to hide from the senior, this junior was born with spiritual eyes and is very sensitive to some powerful things. Moreover, this junior has also come into contact with cultivators of the true way and has some understanding of the situation in the cultivation world. So, this junior can see that the senior is a cultivator of the true way, but saying that you are a Yuan Ying period cultivator is completely this junior's wild guess."
"Born with spiritual eyes!!!" The middle-aged man suddenly stood up, looking at Yi Feng in extreme surprise, as if he was looking at a monster. In his heart, he was still thinking that if this kid was born with spiritual eyes, then he would be considered a natural-born genius of cultivation. If he could take him on as a disciple, then in the future...
"The young master is not only born with a spiritual eye, but also has a natural talent for cultivation. A certain senior once said that I have an excellent foundation, and am a rare genius in the world of cultivation...". Yi Feng wanted to take advantage of the situation and shamelessly boasted about himself as a once-in-a-billion-year cultivation prodigy. Anyway, it was all for the sake of finding a master, having someone guide his own cultivation, so Yi Feng didn't bother with those minor details.
Although he knew that Yifeng's words were somewhat exaggerated, the middle-aged man felt more and more that Yifeng was a rare talent. He asked tentatively: "Do you have a school?"
Yi Feng knew that the real crucial matter was about to arrive, so he hastily shook his head and said: "The young one has not yet paid homage to a master. There was once an old man in the Split Spirit period who shamelessly wanted to pull me into his sect without even giving me a meeting gift, but I resolutely refused him."
"Divided attention period?" The middle-aged cultivator was very skeptical. He had never seen a master of the divided attention period ask someone to become their apprentice, if a master of the divided attention period took a liking to someone, they would just use some means to make that person obediently become their apprentice.
"Hmm... maybe not, it might be the Mahayana period." Yi Feng actually couldn't remember whether the Primordial Infant stage was more powerful or the Split Soul stage and the Tribulation Crossing stage. Since he had already spoken, he simply continued to ramble on, anyway this wasn't anything important.
Regarding Yi Feng's nonsense, the middle-aged cultivator wasn't very concerned. Seeing Yi Feng's confused face, he knew Yi Feng wasn't telling the truth. However, if his own disciple was so clever, he didn't think it was a bad thing. After all, in the cruel world of cultivation, having a quick mind could help one avoid trouble when interacting with others or fighting.
This young man is so young, not only speaking very logically, but also exceptionally intelligent. With time and careful cultivation, he will surely achieve something. The middle-aged cultivator's desire to take Yi Feng as his disciple became even stronger. In fact, this time he came down the mountain, it was to search for secular geniuses to cultivate. Originally, almost all the geniuses in the secular world had been searched out by the several major sects, and he didn't have too much hope for this trip down the mountain, but unexpectedly, he encountered such a rare talent.
"Have you ever thought of finding a master?" asked the middle-aged cultivator, suppressing his excitement.
"Thinking about it, but the opportunity has never come. To be honest, when I first saw my senior, I felt a connection with him...” Yifeng continued to flatter himself while constantly flattering the middle-aged monk.
The middle-aged master burst out laughing and said: "Since you and I have a predestined relationship, why don't you just become my apprentice?"
Yi Feng listened and was overjoyed in his heart. He hastily knelt down and said: "Disciple Yi Feng, greetings Master!"
The middle-aged man, after being given a big gift by Yi Feng, helped Yi Feng up and said with a smile: "Alright, alright, get up. I am the master of Fei Lou Shan Yun Fu Zong Xing Zi generation disciple, named: Star Dust Son. Under my seat, there are already three disciples, all of whom have achieved Jin Dan initial stage or higher cultivation. When you go to Fei Lou Shan, I will introduce you to them again."
Yi Feng repeatedly said it was so, but then remembered that his storage bracelet had been taken away, and he indignantly told Xing Chenzi about it. He thought Xing Chenzi would help him retrieve the treasure, but unexpectedly Xing Chenzi said: "One's own affairs are best handled by oneself. Today you may not be her match, but who knows, after a few years, you will surpass her. At that time, will you still be afraid of not being able to retrieve what belongs to you?"
"Disciple understood. However, I've heard that the Xiu Zhen realm is vast and boundless, what if she leaves this planet, where will I look for her then?" Yi Feng said with great concern.
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about that. Lingling is a disciple of the Minghuo Sect and his cultivation hasn't even reached the fusion period, so it's impossible for him to leave this planet via transmission array. Moreover, Feilu Mountain is actually not far from the Minghuo Sect, and in the future, you'll have plenty of opportunities to take revenge." Xingchenzi smiled and comforted Yifeng with a sentence.
