I can't live forever, so I have to reincarnate infinitely

Chapter 40 Candidates for true disciples

But Du Youqian didn't want to act scheming in front of his master.

"Thoughtful thinking" and "exhaustive strategy" are not good things in many cases.

As an apprentice, you just need to study your skills with peace of mind and practice hard. Who needs you to be thoughtful and considerate?

What are you thinking about, what are you planning, let me explain it carefully!
Holding on to the idea of ​​being clumsy, Du Youqian smiled: "Teacher guesses, this must be your enemy, Master, maybe it is because of the fact that Master was snatched away by you, and he came to trouble you."

Du Youqian said this in a joking tone, but Ma Chongyu didn't delve into it, and smiled and said, "So there are things you don't know."

"There are many things that my apprentice doesn't know, so I need the teacher's teaching."

Ma Chongyu scolded with a smile, "Little slicker. Speaking of which, this matter is related to you, so you can come together."

With that said, he got up and walked out of the alchemy room.

Du Youqian, who was following the master, carefully looked at the comer.

People usually have a stereotype: people with short-tempered and rough tempers tend to be as red as dates and bearded as halberds.

But this person looked gentle, even a little thin, with sunken cheeks, appearing malnourished.

He was also wearing rough linen clothes and a red cloak over it.

Dressed like this, there is no sense of "majesty" at all, but it makes people feel that he is weak.

When Du Youqian looked at him, he also looked at Du Youqian curiously, and finally smiled, as if quite satisfied.

Ma Chongyu said unceremoniously, "It's so early in the morning, why are you making so much noise?"

The other party said in a loud voice that didn't match his thin body: "Junior Brother Ma, you are so dishonest that you snatched away the good seedlings from our Treasure Hall without making a sound."

Ma Chongyu sneered: "Brother, if you use this kind of rhetoric, I won't be bothered to talk to you. You should go to the head and sue yourself, and see if the head will talk to you."

Listening to his tone, Du Youqian felt that the relationship between the master and the other party was quite good, even if the tit-for-tat feeling was actually a way of joking in a friendly atmosphere.

The other party also smiled: "Junior Brother Ma, speak well."

"It was you who didn't talk properly first."

"I was so angry that I didn't want to talk. Not only was I laughed at by the people below, but I was also severely scolded by the palace master and his old man."

Ma Chongyu put away his smile, "Don't want me to sympathize with you, you deserve it. I asked you to take some time to sort out the personnel affairs in the hall. What did you say? The craftsmen are a bunch of rough guys, they don't have a heart, so they don't need to sort out. Looking back now, are they really a bunch of rough guys?"

The other party smiled apologetically: "Brother is wrong, okay. Brother Ma, you should think of a solution. Since this kid has the talent for refining weapons, he can't delay."

Ma Chongyu's voice suddenly rose, "But his alchemy talent is even better! He has only been learning from me for less than a month, and he is already close to the first-level mid-level. Such a genius in alchemy, let him waste time learning the alchemy, isn't it self-destructive?"

"A mid-tier one?" The other party was taken aback, "Junior Brother Ma, you don't want to make such jokes."

Ma Chongyu sneered, "Brother, do you think I will joke with you?"

The other party looked at Du Youqian again in disbelief, but still didn't see anything, and bowed his head in thought.

After a while, he raised his head again, and said like a flushing, "Master Ma, you also know the current situation of the Temple Hall, it can be said that it is not connected, and there is no succession. I heard that this son showed a highly refined talent when he was in the world. Although it was only a vulgar soldier, the refining ideas were quite exquisite and the foundation should be awakened by the wisdom. I will never give up, even if the lawsuit is hit by the head, I will not give up. "

Ma Chongyu smiled, "Disciple, you go to practice first, and I will talk to your uncle about something."

Du Youqian bowed without saying a word and withdrew.

But he knew in his heart that the master would not really hinder him from learning how to refine weapons.

From the very beginning, Master's words revealed this information inside and out.

Rejecting the other party now is probably just trying to make a difference and exchange some benefits.

He returned to the alchemy room and started alchemy without distraction.

In less than a month, his biggest gain is that his acting skills have greatly improved.

A talented young man with outstanding alchemy talent, solid foundation, but lack of high-level knowledge is shown to the fullest, and there is no abruptness in every progress.

It will only make Ma Chongyu shout "genius" without doubting anything.

When Ma Chongyu returned, his expression was calm, and he didn't say anything to Du Youqian, just continued to teach.

After the lecture, as usual, he asked Du Youqian to go back to practice and think more, and waved Du Youqian to leave.

I don't know what kind of agreement he reached with the deputy hall master of the treasure hall, but the secrecy work is not bad.

Until a few days later, when Du Youqian knew the content of the agreement, he had already been pushed to the forefront.

"Master, isn't this bad?" Du Youqian asked Ma Chongyu for an explanation with a frowning face.

Ma Chongyu said with a straight face, "What's wrong? I think it's good. Our Danding Hall and the Hall of Treasures will focus on cultivating you together. As long as you meet the requirements, you will be bestowed with top-grade magic tools and advanced skills and secret techniques that monks at the same level can't even dream of. What else are you unhappy about?"

Du Youqian cursed in his heart.

If you train me, you train me. Why are you being so high-profile?

On this morning, the Hall of Danding and the Hall of Treasures jointly announced that Du Youqian was selected as a candidate for the true disciple.

Immediately, the whole sect erupted.

Although the Chongxuan Sect is only a small sect, the fourth-class sect, the highest in the sect is only the monks who have completed the foundation establishment, and there are no fake alchemy monks.

But after all, it is also a sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, not some wild fox Zen.

Many rules are still relatively formal.

For example, there are only a few true disciples of the Chongxuan School as a whole.

On average, every 15 years or more, only one new true biography is added.

These few true disciples all possess great power, and each of them has basically reserved the position of the future head and the Supreme Elder.

On the important affairs of the sect, the disciples of Zhenchuan also have the right to attend discussions and vote as non-voting delegates.

The weight of speaking is comparable to that of the sect elders.

Because of this, every true disciple is almost equivalent to a giant in the sect, so choosing a true disciple is usually cautious.

It should be inspected from many aspects such as cultivation, character, potential, and conduct.

The investigation period often lasts for several years, or even decades.

Hundreds of years before this, the Chongxuan Sect had never listed a little-known disciple who had only been introduced for a few months as a candidate for a true disciple.

Not to mention, this disciple is only a low-grade spiritual root, and his cultivation is only 4 layers of qi.

When the Hall of Danding and the Hall of Treasures jointly announced that Du Youqian was listed as a candidate for true biography, another news was announced at the same time.

And that news really set Du Youqian on fire.
