When Shi Liuli pulled Luo Yan in front of Elder Shi Ding and excitedly told him the story, Elder Shi Ding couldn't help but have a face full of question marks.

I went to investigate a spy, and while investigating, I ended up bringing back a disciple?

Long before Shi Liuli went to check on him, Elder Shi Ding had also watched his exam video records, but did not find any problems.

Or to be more precise, how could a spy who is supposed to keep a low profile be stupid enough to get a perfect score on the entrance exam?

Besides, if his comprehension talent is really as exaggerated as Liuli said, then coming here to be a spy would be a waste of his talent.

Wouldn't it be better for the sect to cultivate them carefully? Whether it is the method of alchemy, the essence of treasure casting, or the formation with a "massive" amount of calculation, it requires extremely high comprehension to master.

Although he lacks comprehension, the speed at which he learns... is so touching!

Thinking of this, Elder Shi Ding said calmly:

"Your name is Luo Yan, right?"

"Greetings, Elder." Luo Yan bowed quickly.

"Who are you from?" asked Elder Shi Ding.

"I was born in Lin'an County, Yangzhou." Luo Yan said respectfully, "My parents are both dead, and I am alone. In my early years, I worked as a ghostwriter and graded papers for the teacher in a private school."

[Hypocritical personality, synchronization value +1. ]

"Hmm." Elder Shi Ding did not comment. "What is your birth date?"

Luo Yan:?

Does one need to calculate one's birth date when becoming a disciple?

He was a little dazed, and Shi Liuli beside him shouted in shame and anger:

"Father! Why are you calculating Junior Brother's birth date and horoscope?!"

"Father, what you said is actually..." Elder Shi Ding finally realized that his question was indeed ambiguous.

He wanted Luo Yan's birth date and time, but actually he just wanted to use the Taiyi Divine Numbers to calculate whether what Luo Yan said about his background was true.

But to my daughter, it sounded like they were calculating whether their marriage was compatible...

Of course, Elder Shi Ding couldn't explain to his daughter in front of Luo Yan, "I'm not calculating marriages, I'm just confirming the truth of what he said." He could only lie with a shameless face:

"Father just wants to calculate whether he is suitable to be my disciple..."

"Why didn't you count it when senior brothers and sisters entered the sect?" Shi Liuli asked in shame and anger.

"That's because..." Elder Shi Ding couldn't continue talking, so he waved his hand and changed the subject. "Forget it, Luo Yan, let me tell you."

"My name is Shi Ding. I entered Taoism by casting tripods in my early years. Now I am proficient in all kinds of refining methods and have inherited the 'Tian Gong Workshop'."

"In Penglai Yuqing Temple, although I dare not claim to be the best in refining equipment, I can say that I am not inferior to anyone."

"I have seen your entrance examination. You are extremely gifted in comprehension and are suitable to inherit my tradition."

"So I'm asking you here, are you willing to become my disciple and learn the art of refining weapons?"

Luo Yan immediately became solemn upon hearing this and bowed respectfully:

"The disciple is willing to learn."

[Hypocritical personality, synchronization value +1. ]

"Okay." Elder Shi Ding smiled and twirled his beard.

Although Luo Yan was decisive in becoming the disciple, he had actually already thought it through in his mind.

The tripod is a device to stabilize the formation, and "entering the Tao" is a very strict term.

To use a realistic analogy, it is almost the top level among academicians.

Zhenren Shi Ding claimed that he "attained enlightenment through casting a tripod", which shows that he had extremely high attainments in formation.

Then "mastering all kinds of weapon refining techniques" is a short sentence with great value.

There are many ways to refine equipment, including tripods, mirrors, seals, pots, swords, zithers, and bells. Who dares to say that he can master them all? Therefore, there are the fewest cultivators who practice the way of refining equipment, which leads to the high prices of magic weapons all year round.

Here, "sword forging" needs to be mentioned again: the flying sword has the fastest speed, the strongest lethality, and can also seal Taoist magic. It can be called the "gun" of the world of immortal cultivation. Therefore, all sects and schools use flying swords.

In the current world of cultivation, "Penglai alone accounts for six out of ten" of magic swords forging, which is almost a monopoly in the future. It goes without saying how much wealth is behind it.

In short, hold on to Elder Shi Ding’s thigh tightly, and you will never be short of flying swords, magic weapons, or spirit stones in the future!

As for Shi Liuli, she is just a young lady who is ignorant of the ways of the world.

If Master doesn't want me to have anything to do with her, I promise I won't pay any attention to her!

Seeing that Luo Yan chose to become his disciple without hesitation, Elder Shi Ding was very satisfied.

Due to the disguised temperament of the hypocritical character and the spiritual suggestion of the mirror flower and water moon, Elder Shi Ding had a very good first impression of Luo Yan:

He has a high level of comprehension and an honest character. Who wouldn’t love such a disciple?

Shi Liuli was pouting beside him, feeling a little unhappy.

In her expectation, her father should have looked down on Luo Yan, and she would have strongly recommended him, so that her father would reluctantly accept Luo Yan as his apprentice.

Therefore, Luo Yan became grateful and loyal to his senior sister.

Then, his father finally discovered that Luo Yan had a high level of understanding, and he looked at him with new eyes, and repeatedly praised himself for his vision...

That's how it should be! Why don't you follow my script?

However, after having a junior brother, he is no longer the youngest.

So she excitedly called herself a senior sister and said to Luo Yan:

"Since you have also become my father's disciple, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment and meet other senior brothers and sisters~"

Elder Shi Ding couldn't help but smile as he watched his daughter pull Luo Yan out.

Let’s not talk about matters between men and women for now. My daughter has been surrounded by many senior brothers and sisters since she was young. She has been very spoiled and has developed a naive character.

If Luo Yan, this junior brother, can make her regard herself as a senior sister and cultivate a sense of responsibility, then it will definitely be a good thing.

As for whether their daughter will fall in love with him in the future, that is their own business.

Shi Liuli took Luo Yan and took a walk around Tiangong Workshop.

I also visited the residences of my senior brothers and sisters.

The eldest senior brother Linghu Chu, a Jindan Zhenren, mainly practices the way of swordsmanship, and also has considerable attainments in the Penglai sword-riding technique.

It seemed that he was addicted to alcohol. When Shi Liuli pulled Luo Yan into the main hall, they saw him leaning on the armchair, drunk and snoring.

Shi Liuli wrinkled her nose in disgust, introduced a few words indifferently, and then pulled Luo Yan away, as if she was afraid that he would be infected with alcohol addiction.

The second senior sister Lei Caiyan is also a Jindan Zhenren. She specializes in making musical instruments and has a high talent in music and divination, but her thinking and speech are a little dull.

In order to express her welcome to the new junior brother, Senior Sister Lei directly gave him a "Phoenix Tail Harp". The entire body was made of thousand-year-old phoenix wood, and the wood veins were carefully dredged with true energy. It was a magical musical instrument of extremely fine quality.

Qiu Changtian himself is proficient in music, and has worked especially hard on the flute and the pipe. He plans that when he encounters a big scene in the future and needs to make an appearance, he can "sound the flute before he arrives" and "come in gracefully in a white dress."

But he was not good at playing the piano, so Luo Yan planned to hand over the phoenix-tail harp to Qiu Changtian, and then give it to his junior sister to play.

The third senior sister Liang Ruohua is still a Jindan Zhenren. She studies mirror making and seal making and has rich experience in sealing techniques.

The magic weapon Fantian Seal that Shi Liuli usually uses was forged by her based on the acquired spiritual treasure Fantian Seal. It is said that it has 30% of the power of the original treasure.

Thirty percent of the power of a post-natal spiritual treasure is already outrageous, okay? A tenth-order immortal sword can bend you, but it is weaker than the "eleventh-order immortal sword" such as the Taiyi Fenguang Sword.

Shi Liuli begged Liang Ruohua for a "life-transmitting mirror" for Luo Yan. It is said that if you carry it with you, you can resist a fatal attack at a critical moment.

Luo Yan was flattered and thanked him repeatedly.

The fourth senior brother, Master Shi Wen, is a cultivator at the Huafu level. He specializes in making pots and bells. In addition, he has a very profound family tradition of space-related Taoist magic.

It is said that almost 80% of the storage bags, storage bags, Qiankun bags, etc. on the market are made by the Guangling Shi family behind the fourth senior brother.

However, this family has never produced a Nascent Soul cultivator in its history, so they are very low-key and are considered the "invisible rich" in the world of cultivation.

As a gift, Master Shi Wen gave Luo Yan a "treasure bag" with a huge space inside, which could even fit a large ship. Luo Yan was very surprised and hurried to thank him.

It has to be said that the monks of Penglai Yuqing Temple are obsessed with practicing various techniques, and the number of Jindan and Yuanying monks ranks last among the three orthodox sects. No wonder the head of Kunlun Ziwei calls them "idiots".

However, Luo Yan discovered that in Elder Shi Ding's Tiangong Workshop, everyone not only knew each other, but also had such a good relationship that they could give magic weapons to each other at will.

They were just like family, which made Luo Yan feel very warm.

On the other hand, in Kunlun, although Master Ziwei has many disciples, the senior brothers and sisters rarely speak to each other except for listening to the scriptures together in the lecture room.

The fickleness of human nature pales in comparison.
