Chapter 2 The First Disciple
When Lu Yuan looked over, he saw a handsome young man in black, about 1.7 meters tall, with a fair complexion and short hair, who had been standing here for some time.
While Lu Yuan was looking at him, the young man in black was also looking at Lu Yuan.
The two looked at each other, and Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
He actually saw the vicissitudes of countless years in this boy's eyes, but this temperament was well hidden and disappeared in just a moment.
The young man in black coughed and said, "I heard that there is a Daluo Sect here that is recruiting disciples, so I went up the mountain to ask, are you from the Daluo Sect?"
Lu Yuan also came back to his senses and said, "My surname is Lu, and I am the leader of this generation of Daluo Sect."
The young man in black: "So you are the Sect Master. Excuse me. I am Chen Nanxuan, from the Chen family in Sishui City. I would like to join the Daluo Sect to practice. I hope the Sect Master will accept me."
Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard his words.
No...did I hear it right?
He was just worried about not having any disciples to teach him, and this guy came to him right away? What was going on? Others didn't know, and Lu Yuan himself didn't know what the situation was with his Daluo Sect. It was called a sect, but in reality it was just a makeshift team, and its only ability was to brag about itself in history books. The fact that it could continue to this day was almost entirely due to bragging to trick generations of disciples into coming to the sect.
Is there really someone who comes to me to become my disciple?
Could it be that this guy was fooled? No, could it be that he made some enemies outside, or lost money in the casino, and took refuge in the mountains, using this as a shelter?
Lu Yuan was not stupid. He knew the situation of his family. How could such a good thing fall from the sky? He was looking for a disciple, and the disciple came to his door? There was a problem! After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yuan said, "I have no objection to you becoming my disciple. My Daluo Sect does recruit disciples, but I have a question to ask you first."
Chen Nanxuan bowed slightly.
Lu Yuan asked: "Why did you join my Daluo Sect?"
Chen Nanxuan: “I came here because of your reputation.”
Lu Yuan opened his mouth.
He wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he found that he couldn't choose the other party.
After all, you can't say that your Daluo Sect is not famous, right? People say that they came to praise you because of your reputation, so are you trying to discredit yourself?
Lu Yuan: "Do you owe money down the mountain? Gambling debts? Love debts? Lives?"
Chen Nanxuan: “No.”
"How do you prove it?"
"I was born in the Chen family of Sishui City. Although my family is not big, it is not unknown in Sishui City. The sect leader can go and check it out."
Chen Nanxuan said that if he had any problems, he would not report himself, and if he dared to report, he would not be afraid of investigation.
Lu Yuan nodded, not pretending.
Since you have a clean background, that will be easy. I'm just worried that I won't have any disciples coming to me, so I'd rather not accept one for free.
Moreover, this kid looked handsome and quite spiritual. The aura he exuded made Lu Yuan inexplicably feel indescribable and unfathomable. Maybe he really had some potential to become an immortal.
Having asked all the questions that needed to be asked, Lu Yuan could no longer hold back and said, "Since you have come to me with sincerity and good faith, and considering your sincere pursuit of the truth, today I will make an exception and accept you as my disciple. Chen Nanxuan, you can become my disciple now."
"Disciple Chen Nanxuan greets the Master!"
Chen Nanxuan saluted directly without any hesitation.
His decisiveness made Lu Yuan increasingly confused.
So decisive? It's a bit weird.
Although I felt that something was not right, but since he had come to me as a disciple and had already become my disciple, I had no choice but to accept him.
Besides, Lu Yuan really needs an apprentice to help him complete the task. Even if Chen Nanxuan really has some ulterior motives, the two of them can be considered to be using each other.
It’s not wrong to think so.
After becoming his disciple, Lu Yuan immediately opened the door of Daluo Sect which had just been locked and brought Chen Nanxuan in.
The two men walked into Daluo Sect, and Lu Yuan heard a dog barking behind Chen Nanxuan.
"Woof!"
It was only then that Lu Yuan discovered that this boy had a little dog following him.
The puppy was still in its infancy, with yellow hair, and it couldn't be more ordinary, looking like a stray dog on the roadside.
“Is this the dog you brought?”
Chen Nanxuan shook his head: "No, I met it on the road. It kept following me. Should I chase it away, Master?"
Lu Yuan: "Forget it, it's just a stray dog, it looks pitiful. Since it's here, it must be predestined. Let's come in together."
Anyway, there was no one in Daluo Sect, and Lu Yuan was usually bored, so it seemed like it would be a good idea to take in a disciple and a dog? The little yellow dog seemed to understand what Lu Yuan said, and wagged its tail, looking very happy. It took small, cheerful steps and entered Daluo Sect with Chen Nanxuan.
…
"Since you have accepted me as your master, I should show some appreciation. Let me ask you, have you ever practiced immortal cultivation before coming to my Daluo Sect?"
Chen Nanxuan: "No, the Chen family has been scholars for generations. I don't like to study and was ostracized by the family, so I came to look for immortals."
Lu Yuan: "Have you studied medicine? Do you know pharmacology?"
“No.”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Then I feel relieved." Lu Yuan then took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve and poured out a pill from it.
The pill is the size of a soybean and is red all over.
Lu Yuan: "My disciple, this is... Yijin Xisui Pill, which is made from dozens of hundred-year-old spiritual medicines. It is an immortal elixir. Taking it can strengthen the muscles and cleanse the marrow, and remove impurities from the body.
I will give you this pill and this Daluo disciple magic sword as a gift, please keep it."
Chen Nanxuan looked at the...Bigu Pill that Lu Yuan took out?
Misrepresenting a fasting pill as a Yi Jin Xi Sui pill and giving it to your disciple?
This master of mine has something special...
However, Chen Nanxuan came here for his own purpose, he did not care about these things, he saw through it but did not say it out loud, he accepted the elixir and the basic disciple sword, and thanked his master at the same time.
"Thank you, Master!"
Lu Yuan dodged his gaze and told a small lie, feeling a little guilty.
He didn't really want to use the Bigu Pill to pass it off as the Yi Jin Xi Sui Pill in front of his disciples, but the Daluo Sect was indeed poor.
When someone wants to become their disciple, you, as a master and a clan leader, must give them something. You can't just not give them anything, right? It's not that shabby.
Apart from the sect leader's robe and magic sword which were slightly higher-end items, the only rare item on his body that was still related to cultivating immortals was this bottle of fasting pills. He couldn't possibly give his sect leader's robe and magic sword to Chen Nanxuan, right?
Master Lu is a respectable man after all, so he has to put together a good gift for the meeting.
These fasting pills were actually made by hand by the old leader of Daluo Sect.
The preparation method of Bigu Pill is simple. Just grind the medicinal materials into powder and rub them by hand.
The old sect leader had rubbed out a warehouse during his lifetime. There was nothing else in the sect's treasury, but there were mountains of fasting pills.
Because apart from the Bigu Pill, other pills are difficult to refine and can't be afforded. After all these years, I have mastered the art of making the Bigu Pill.
One pill of this stuff can last for seven days, and the materials used to refine it are cheap, making it the most cost-effective meal for low-level monks.
Cultivating immortality is not about fighting and killing, but about careful planning!
If it weren't for this skill, a poor and shabby sect like the Daluo Sect would have starved to death long ago.
The warehouse of fasting pills in Daluo Sect is enough for future disciples to eat for ten lifetimes. At least it ensures that the disciples of Daluo Sect will not starve to death, so it can be considered a stable job.
Anyway, Chen Nanxuan doesn't know how to cultivate immortality, so it doesn't matter if he uses the Bigu Pill to pretend to be a high-level pill to fool people with the gift of meeting.
It wouldn't be unfair to him if I passed on the great magical skill of Heavenly Immortal to him later.
However, before passing on his skills, Lu Yuan wanted to see his talent first.
Lu Yuan: "Come on, follow me to test your spiritual roots."
