Chapter 210 Accepting a Disciple
Zhao Yu was stunned when he heard this, then he looked up and opened his eyes wide: "Zhao Qi? He... Brother, you said before that it's hard for him to say now, so is he dead, or... does he know about me? Is he nearby now?"

Li Wuxiang smiled bitterly: "How can I explain this matter? Forget it, I will check your pulse first and tell you while I check. Come and sit down."

Zhao Yu stood up, sat next to Li Wuxiang, and stretched out her hand. Li Wuxiang held her pulse gate, and the power of the elixir penetrated her body, probing her pulse along the meridians in her body.

"Actually, it's hard to say what my seniority is in the sect. At the beginning, I was accepted as a disciple by Zhao Kui. At that time, I was in a stone chamber--"

Li Wuxiang spoke slowly while checking Zhao Yu's pulse. He found that Zhao Yu's cultivation was not completely ruined. The common saying of "completely ruined cultivation" refers to the situation of Cheng Peixin, who cut off her own meridians. After that, unless she practiced an evil method like Guang Chanzi's, she would not be able to practice normal methods.

Zhao Yu's cultivation was completely wasted, similar to Lou He and Zeng Jianqiu's situation at the time, because he was seriously injured and his meridians were damaged, so his vital energy was scattered and his meridians were blocked. This kind of thing in this era is like malnutrition, which is not worth mentioning to some people, but is a terminal illness to others.

At this time, he had almost explained everything about Zhao Kui, so he let go of her hand: "After that, I met Zhao Qi——"

He explained Zhao Qi's situation clearly, and then sighed: "So, the current situation is similar to the past of our sect. The lineage has changed, and this lineage is now surnamed Li. This kind of thing is like a change of dynasty. When I am happy, I call you Senior Brother Zhao Senior Brother or Master, but when I am unhappy, he is not even our Ranshan disciple. However, our Ranshan is now considered to be able to handle both yin and yang. Just now, Zhao Qi told you not to be afraid of death, and you can go to him to cultivate ghost immortality."

When Zhao Yu heard him talk about those things before, his expression changed. He was either surprised, or terrified, or regretful. But generally speaking, it was not as intense as Li Wuxiang thought. Now, after hearing what he said, he couldn't help but smile, but he didn't say anything.

Li Wuxiang had come into contact with many people in his previous life, and the people he met in this life had different personalities and strong personal styles.

Zhao Yu was the first exception he had ever met. Judging from the way she acted and spoke, she must be one of those rare people who didn't have much personality.

There are actually two types of this kind of personality. The first type is those who have returned to their roots, gained a lot of knowledge, and then adhered to the doctrine of the mean. The second type is completely the opposite, because they have not had enough experience and knowledge and have not had time to form their own personality. Zhao Yu should belong to the latter type.

This conclusion made Li Wuxiang very happy. He had Zhao Qi, who was generally trustworthy, in Lingshan, and he also needed a trustworthy follower in the world of the living - at least in Dajie Mountain. Otherwise, the leaders of the two sects and Taiyi Yuanying would be alone, which was not decent enough.

Even after experiencing the misfortunes before, Zhao Yu is still a calm and patient person, which shows that he has a good character.

Li Wuxiang reached into his arms, placed a three-jin gold bar on the table, and took out a bottle of elixir and a book.

"I checked your pulse. Your cultivation is ruined, but you are not a human being. It's just blocked. Your limp is also due to this. This bottle is Fuyuan Baosheng Pills, which are all top-quality pills. You take them slowly and circulate your Qi slowly. After you finish a bottle, the meridians in your body will be reopened and your leg will get better. Even if I don't tell you, you should know that when you rebuild your foundation this time, the scars on your body will disappear and you will be a healthy person again."

He used one finger to flip through the pages of the book on the table: "When I took your pulse, I found that your aptitude was quite good. But your meridians were seriously injured, just like skin, which will leave scars. So when you practice again this time, your aptitude cannot be compared with before. This book is the method of the Sword Sect, which is specially for people with poor aptitude to practice."

"You are definitely not bad now, so there are two advantages to practicing this book. First, you don't need any elixir or ingredients, and you don't need a guardian to guide you. Your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and you will reach the peak of Qi Refining faster than ordinary exercises, and then you will stop making progress. In this way, you can still have 70 to 80 years of youth and lifespan."

He pointed at the gold bar again: "Then you can take this with you and find a prosperous market far away from the parish, and live your life in peace and wealth."

Zhao Yu was stunned: "Senior Brother——"

"I don't mean anything else. I was a swordsman before, but now I have a lot of things to do, all of which may cost me my life. This time I come to Dajie Mountain to do something dangerous and rich. If you follow me, I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm ahead. To put it bluntly, even if I wake up in the morning after five or six days and find that you have been ambushed and killed, I won't be surprised."

Li Wuxiang paused and slowed down his voice: "Besides, Zhao Kui is a scumbag in my eyes, but in your eyes, he is both a teacher and a father. To be honest, there are many biological fathers and daughters in this world, and I may not be able to raise you like Zhao Kui did. So since I killed Zhao Kui, it is reasonable for you to have a grudge against me - do you?"

Zhao Yu sat on the stone bench, twisting his hands and lowering his eyes slightly. After a while, he said carefully: "Actually... yes."

Li Wuxiang's tense heart relaxed a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief. If he accepted Zhao Yu, he would be like accepting the founding disciple of his new sect.

The eldest brother or eldest sister may not have great kung fu, but they must have a good character. If Zhao Yu said he didn't hate them, he would be finished.

Li Wuxiang nodded: "It is very dangerous to follow me. You have a grudge against me. So if you want to leave, take these three things. I will tell you how to ask Zhao Qi for help if you really encounter a fatal problem. Then we can be considered to be destined to meet each other."

Zhao Yu raised his head, his eyes flickering, and Li Wuxiang smiled and said, "You also know that I come from a swordsman family. This is not a test for you, but what a swordsman would say."

Zhao Yu's eyes flickered again, he lowered his eyes, and sighed slightly: "Yes."

Hmm? Yes? Is it your head?
Li Wuxiang choked up in his throat, realizing that he had forgotten Zhao Yu's temperament. She was so tepid and had no temperament, maybe she took his words just now as a request to expel her from the sect.

He immediately said: "But if you don't want to leave--"

Zhao Yu immediately raised his head: "Brother...I don't want to leave!"

This is right.

Li Wuxiang pretended to be surprised and was slightly stunned: "Oh? You hate me in your heart, but you still don't want to leave?"

"Brother, I don't hate you. I...I..." Zhao Yu looked a little anxious and said "I" twice before saying, "I'm not good at speaking, but I think what Senior Brother thinks. And..."

She wrung her hands again: "I shouldn't have gone down the mountain in the first place. I felt that life was hard on the mountain, but I found that it was even harder after I went down the mountain. Brother, if you ask me to go out again, I really don't know what to do... Now I miss the days when I used to sweep the mountain, but when I went to the mountain before, I found that all the houses had collapsed..."

Li Wuxiang nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I understand your intention. Okay, if you want to stay, then stay. But what Zhao Kui did before is enough to be expelled from the Thirty-Six Sects, so I will cut off his incense, and he will no longer be my master."

"As for your eldest brother, he now has a Taoist temple and ancient cave in Lingshan. He wants to practice Shinto in the future, and he will have his own lineage sooner or later. So our lineage may not be Ranshan after the Great Tribulation Alliance. You and I can no longer be judged according to the previous seniority."

"So, if you don't want to practice the one I gave you, do you have any other techniques you like? I have the Sword Sect's techniques, which practice flying swords. I also have the Tianxin Sect's techniques, which practice fragments or the main ones. Zhao Yu, which one do you think is suitable for you?"

Zhao Yu hesitated for a while: "I don't know either."

Li Wuxiang sighed in his heart - she was still not very smart, neither could she compare with Zhao Qi nor himself. If Zhao Qi was here, he would have been so "bowed" and shouted "Master, please teach me" the next moment after he asked.

He smiled and said, "The Sword Sect's method is difficult to practice and progress is slow, but it is stable and powerful. Although your personality is not suitable for being a swordsman, it is quite suitable for practicing the Sword Sect's method. Moreover, you have a very good temper. Practicing the Sword Sect's method can slowly change your personality." Zhao Yu took a deep breath and said, "The Sword Sect's method, I... can I do it?"

Li Wuxiang nodded. Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then... Senior Brother, should I become your disciple?"

"Yeah, almost."

Zhao Yu stepped down from the stone bench, knelt down respectfully in front of Li Wuxiang, kowtowed three times, and then said, "Master, please teach me the Dharma."

The scene was not as emotional and solemn as expected, but her leisurely nature was what he wanted, so there was nothing to complain about.

He had been thinking of choosing a follower, but now he was recruiting a founding disciple. This happened naturally and smoothly. Li Wuxiang felt a little inexplicable joy in his heart, as if in his previous life he was a worker who was still a social animal in the morning and registered his own empty shell company in the afternoon. He felt that at this moment it seemed to have a completely different meaning.

He smiled, thought for a moment, and touched Zhao Yu's hair: "Okay, get up. I will teach you the True Immortal Body and the Flying Immortal Sword first."

Zhao Yu stood up and did not sit down again. He asked, "Master...Father, but...after the Great Tribulation Alliance, if we are not the Ranshan Sect, then what is it? Is it also the Sword Sect?"

Li Wuxiang sighed, "I don't know either. We all practice the sword sect's skills, so we can't be called Ranshan. But it's not appropriate to call it the sword sect, because I don't want to stay there anymore - I'll tell you about this on the way. So maybe it can be considered a branch of the sword sect? But the sword sect is being chased by the Xuanjiao now, and I finally got away, and I don't want to jump into the quagmire again, so it can't be called the sword sect. Let's think about it slowly in the next few days, but before the Great Tribulation Alliance is over, do you think you should be a disciple of Ranshan or a disciple of Tianxin?"

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Master, can I choose this too?"

"Forget it, you don't have to choose. Just see the situation. Whichever one is more convenient for you, they are all the same anyway."

So next, Li Wuxiang first taught Zhao Yu the method of refining the flying sword and sword line.

Her body was now covered with scars, so she wasn't afraid of adding more scars to the scars after having her skin removed. So she used a sharp knife to make a long cut on her right arm from the shoulder to the top of her index finger, and then tore off a whole strip of skin.

Although Zhao Yu pressed acupuncture points on herself, it was still extremely painful. However, she just frowned slightly and said nothing. She must have experienced even greater pain when she was burned by fire poison before.

To refine the flying sword, one needs to face west in a shady room and make a small sword that is three feet three inches long and one and a half inches thick. Sixty-six feather patterns should be engraved in reverse on the blade, and the words sun and moon should be engraved on the handle.

The courtyard where they lived now had just such a room. It was night time, so Li Wuxiang found the core of a thousand-year-old peach tree from the Tianxin illusion to make a sword for her.

After half an hour, both of these things were done. Li Wuxiang then found the ingredients and gave Zhao Yu the formula, asking her to mix the potion for soaking the sword fairy.

She had been in Ranshan for such a long time, and although she had not learned any advanced skills, she was much more proficient in the most basic things in cultivation than Li Wuxiang. Without any mistakes, she prepared the medicine quickly.

So Li Wuxiang taught her to start practicing the method of True Immortal Body Dao Chapter.

When he felt the Qi, it only took him a few days. After that, he became a human skin and made rapid progress in practicing the True Immortal Body Dao. But now Zhao Yu came to practice, and she was much slower than he was at that time. She sat for two hours and had no Qi in her body. Li Wuxiang gave her a Fuyuan Baosheng Pill and a Linglong Qiqiao Pill.

After taking these two pills, two hours later, a little Sword Qi finally appeared in Zhao Yu's body. She knew that she could really practice again. She looked happy and wanted to continue.

But at this time, the sky outside was already slightly bright. She had taken the Linglong Qiqiao Pill with strong liquor, so she sat there and her head tilted, and she fell asleep against the wall.

Li Wuxiang did not wake her up, but quietly left the room and closed the door.

He stood in the yard for a while, watching the eastern sky slowly turn pale, then recalled what happened last night, a little unsure whether he was having a relapse.

He knew that he had a very good reason to accept Zhao Yu as his disciple. On the way here, Kong Jingci told him that there should be a popular martial arts competition at the Great Tribulation Alliance Meeting - this time, thirty-six talents with excellent qualifications will be selected, and then they will be asked to practice the proper methods of their own sect. During the practice, all the materials needed will be coordinated at the alliance meeting, and then distributed in installments according to needs, until the Nascent Soul stage.

This means that the selected can get the equivalent of the elixir materials accumulated by the Tianxin Sect for three thousand years. Li Wuxiang had calculated before that what he currently has is not enough to support his Nascent Soul cultivation of the Small Tribulation Sword Sutra, and the consumption is about twice that of the True Immortal Body Dao Chapter. Therefore, the things in the Tianxin Illusionary Realm in his hands, plus the one from the Great Tribulation Alliance, should be enough to meet his needs for Nascent Soul cultivation, and there will be a little surplus.

Since it was a contest between the sect's disciples, he couldn't go in person, but had to have a legacy. On the way here, he was thinking that if there was no suitable one, he could make a deal with the Suhua Sect - support them to seize the position of the Sect Master, and they would provide him with a seedling with excellent qualifications so that he could obtain a resource for becoming an infant.

Because after the competition among the sect disciples, there will be another competition to compete for the position of the sect leader.

Kong Jingci said that the commanders at the alliance meeting have not yet finalized how the competition will be conducted, but it is certain that it will not be conducted entirely by force, but other aspects must be taken into consideration, and perhaps some unexpected ingenuity will be required.

If he could get the resources to become an infant, he could help the Suhua Sect in this game. He had already experienced many tribulations while practicing the Lesser Tribulation Sword Sutra, and if he really became the Sect Master of the Palm Seal, he would probably be in more trouble than when he was in the Sword Sect.

On the way here, he had almost finalized the matter with Kong Jingci through various explicit and implicit hints, but now he couldn't help but accept Zhao Yu.

In his previous life, he had done something similar. When he met someone who was a perfect victim, gentle and pitiful, he couldn't help but want to treat him as... he couldn't say, a relative? A pet? A disciple? Anyway, he would want to help him in this way, and he would feel very comfortable.

It had happened once before when he was in Jinshui, and it was Xue Baoping. Then he felt that he was thinking of her in his previous life, so he suppressed the urge in his heart and withdrew in time. But now he realized that the urge seemed to have not been extinguished, but was growing stronger and stronger somewhere in his heart, and when he met Zhao Yu this time, it suddenly jumped out when he was not paying attention.

This is not entirely a bad thing, because according to his own experience, when this happens, it often means that he is in a good state.

For example, a wolf walking alone in the wilderness has survived natural disasters and natural enemies, and is well fed, so its fur is soft and it can catch its breath. It does not need to keep running to a dark and damp place to escape and hide, but wants to walk to the grassland that is slightly warmed by the afternoon sun.

Establishing relatively stable relationships with others - this is a natural instinct for many people, but for him, it has always been a disaster that he can't help but want to avoid, and this disaster has indeed caused him great harm many times in the past.

Now he realized that he should try this thing again. So he also felt that he could understand Zhao Qi's feelings when he was in Jinshui.

What he was thinking at that time must have been the same as mine - I hope this time there will be a good result and I can be a good master. It's not just for Zhao Yu, but I hope I can become a new and different person. At that time, he thinks he can go back to Xue Baoping and use something to prop up this human skin.
