"I discovered that the host has been asked by the sage Laozi's incarnation, the sub-sage Taishang Laojun, to become his disciple. You have the following options."

"Choice 1: Accept Taishang Laojun's request, become a disciple of the Sub-Sage, and receive the reward magic weapon [Purple Gold Gourd]. The Purple Gold Gourd: The gourd that Taishang Laojun used to store his elixirs can absorb the heavens and earth, swallowing up the sky and the earth, with infinite power."

"Choice 2: Refuse Taishang Laojun's request and obtain the magical weapon [Xuanyuan Water Control Flag]. Xuanyuan Water Control Flag: One of the five innate colored flags, it contains infinite water color power, which can overturn rivers and seas and control water waves."

Shachen looked at the choices and was stunned for a moment.

The Xuanyuan Water Control Flag of the Xiantian Five-Colored Flag?

He already has the Wuji Xinghuang Flag, and now this Xuanyuan Control Water Flag has appeared. Could it be that they want him to collect all the Xiantian Five Color Flags!?

It is said that it is made up of five leaves of the ancient blue lotus. If they were all collected, wouldn't they be unrivaled in the world?!

Perhaps it can also condense into an ancient blue lotus and create a five-colored world.

Sha Chen got excited just thinking about it, but as for becoming Laojun's disciple, he refused without even thinking about it.

He is just a sub-sage. He doesn't even worship the sage Tongtian, so how could he worship the sub-sage as his master?

Let me come in person and tell you. You, an incarnation, want to attract me to become your disciple?!

All temptations are demons and monsters.

Sha Chen had already refused in his heart, but he didn't want to refuse too obviously on the surface, for fear of embarrassing Laojun.

After all, Laojun was different from Tongtian Jiaozhu. He was a stern and cunning man. If one accidentally said the wrong thing and angered him, wouldn't it be a dead end if he became his enemy instead of his disciple?!

Shachen hesitated for a long time, thinking about how to start.

Laojun stood by with his hands behind his back. The heat in his eyes gradually dissipated and he frowned.

When he first offered to accept a disciple, he felt that he was being a bit hasty. After all, he had seen countless geniuses over the years.

Even so, he only accepted two direct disciples, Master Xuandu and True Man Huolong, and the rest were registered disciples or outer disciples.

In short, he was very particular about accepting disciples.

When he started to collect the sand and dust this time, he wondered if he had been too hasty and secretly regretted not paying too much attention to it.

However, once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back, and he did not go back on his word.

He simply waited for Sha Chen to bow down to him, and then he took Sha Chen as his disciple.

It just gave him a headache. If Sha Chen became his disciple, he would not be allowed to join the Buddhist sect, which would ruin the Buddhist cause of obtaining the scriptures.

He must find another way to fill this gap in Buddhism, otherwise Jie Yin and Zhunti will come to nag him again.

after all.

During the Conferred Gods War, he owed a favor to the Buddhist sect, which he had to repay.

Helping to establish and complete the journey to the West was his way of repaying the debt of karma.

If he collected the sand and dust now, wouldn't he be destroying the Buddhist mission of obtaining the scriptures, and destroying this cause and effect with his own hands?

Hence, the headache.

but.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Since he has already accepted him as a disciple, if Sha Chen wants to become his disciple, he has no choice but to accept him.

Just waiting for Shachen to bow down and worship.

However, he didn't expect Shachen to hesitate, which made him a little unhappy.

I've made an exception and accepted you as my disciple. It's an honor for you. There are so many people eager to become my disciples, and yet you hesitate?!

Excessive.

Laojun was somewhat displeased, and planned to show some power to Shachen when he became his disciple, in order to show off his master's prestige.

Shachen hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, because it would not be good to be mysterious in front of Laojun.

He said, "Thank you for your kindness, Saint. I am a young man with limited knowledge, shallow skills, weak foundation, and no ambition. I just want to practice here and don't want to get involved in worldly affairs. It's difficult to climb to the top, so I dare not become your disciple. It would be a disgrace to the Saint's family."

Laojun, who was waiting for Shachen to bow down, was stunned for a moment.

After listening to Shachen's chatter, he thought Shachen was going to praise him and express his joy at becoming his disciple, and then he would accept him without hesitation.

but.

Who knew that after saying so many words, he was actually making excuses.

There is absolutely no intention of becoming my disciple.

In other words, Shachen refused to become his disciple.

Laojun was stunned. He was completely stunned because he had never encountered such a scene before.

"You know what you're talking about?"

Laojun was stunned and said, "Throughout the Three Realms, there are countless prominent figures, but saints can be counted on one hand. The status of a saint's disciple is something that countless people covet. Now I offer it to you, and you refuse it?"

Shachen could see that Laojun was very excited and was worried that he would lose face and take his anger out on him, so he wanted to explain.

but.

Laojun was genuinely excited and continued, "Countless people longed to become a disciple of the Saint but were unable to do so. Not to mention the Saint personally recruited you as his personal disciple, ranking third in the sect, and yet you rejected him without hesitation?"

Shachen wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

Although my hesitation was just pretending to save your face, you said it yourself and you are embarrassed. Don't blame me.

But he didn't dare say it.

Then he said: "Please forgive me, my junior is not very knowledgeable..."

He was about to repeat his excuse, but Laojun interrupted him, saying, "Stop talking. You have no idea that you are rejecting a tremendous opportunity. I was just wondering if it was rash to accept you as my disciple, but you don't cherish it. Do you realize that you've missed out on a chance to become a saint?"

"Countless people long to become a saint's disciple, but you're unwilling. Do you think the status of a saint's disciple is commonplace? Or do you think that during the Conferred God Tribulation, saints' disciples were everywhere, so it was completely useless?"
