"Master, I have something else to do, so I'm sorry I can't kneel down first."

Armin spoke in an astonishing voice. He did not kneel down under the authority of the purple-robed elder, but answered respectfully.

The purple-robed elder paused for a moment, but did not return to his original state. He said in a sly voice, "What is this? It's more serious than kneeling down to worship Master?!"

Armin knelt on one knee, with a serious expression, and bowed respectfully: "I have been a drifter for most of my life, and lost my father when I was young. If you don't give up, I am willing to be your adoptive father!"

Purple robe elder: “…?”

In the ancient country of Dong, there was a saying that becoming a disciple was like acknowledging one's father. Even though the elder in purple robe had been negligent before, there had been no strange changes. Why did he change strangely at this moment?

Apparently there is a step missing.

If Armin hadn't done it, something bad would have happened, so recognizing his father is a key part.

Hua Wujue's matter was temporarily put aside. The information was not exchanged, and he could not get any information that would be helpful for his own deduction.

I kept this guess deep down, waiting for the moment when the answer would be revealed.

The purple-robed elder had a complicated expression, and the strange changes on his body gradually faded away. Then he sighed leisurely: "You are a filial child. Since you lost your father at a young age, a teacher is a father for life. From now on, you are my adopted son, and at the same time, the eighth disciple of my lineage."

After completing a series of complicated procedures, Armin retreated to the hall on his own.

Wait until the door of the hall is closed.

The three elders sitting on the chairs gradually transformed into three huge monsters, crushing the chairs under them.

The purple-robed elder at the head turned into a ferocious and terrifying dragon.

The red-robed elder turned into a red python with three strange heads and black spots.

The blue-robed elder had the strangest appearance, as if countless eyeballs were gathered together, but he had a body as big as an elephant, and his whole body was wrapped in shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.

The purple-robed elder spoke first, his voice sounding like a damaged cassette tape, making people feel very uncomfortable: "What do you think of this kid?"

The red-robed elder shook the three snake heads, and then spit out their tongues at the same time: "This kid is very smart, different from all the previous blood food. I always feel that there is something wrong with this kid, and he may threaten our status."

The blue-robed elder, who looked the strangest, made a series of strange movements without making any sound, but the red-robed elder and the purple-robed elder seemed to understand.

"You mean, you may not be obediently enslaved by our descendants, refuse to integrate, and act beyond your authority."

The purple-robed elder and the red-robed elder fell into deep thought, and then suddenly sneered.

"If you dare not fuse, then wait for death. I was actually thinking about this just now, because there is something wrong with this guy. We demons have always been very accurate in our intuition. This Erniu has a big problem."

"No matter what, tell the descendants to keep a close eye on him. Do not approach him unless he has completely transformed. Do not approach any confidential places."

…

At this time, Armin had arrived at an empty square. In front of him was a very majestic stone statue of a blue bull, with eyes like lightning and four hooves raised high.

"Hey, Junior Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Behind the statue, Toad Face, who had been waiting for a long time, came out.

It was still that iconic smile, but this time there was some blatant hostility.

"Brother, you have been waiting for me for a long time. Could it be that you are taking me to familiarize myself with the sect's venues?"

Armin asked calmly, but he stuffed the things that the purple-robed Taoist had just given him, such as the strange blue stone, into his waist.

"There's no need for us to be so formal. I won't waste so much time arguing with you. The strong prey on the weak. This is an eternal truth everywhere. As a newcomer, your cultivation level is not as high as mine, and your strength is not as strong as mine. You are not qualified to obtain resources."

"So... give me the stuff now."

The toad-faced man threatened openly, with a cold light flashing from his cuffs...

"Oh, Brother, are you serious?"

"Master will not allow you to rob your fellow disciples of their property."

Armin pretended to be surprised, with an angry look on his face.

The sneer on Toad Face's face became more intense: "I thought you were a smart person like me, but I didn't expect you to be a fool. You know this kind of thing, I know it, and everyone knows it. How can the master have the time to care about a new disciple like you?"

"Do you really think that Master didn't acquiesce in these things?"

“…”

Armin laughed, and his laugh made Toad Face a little flustered.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's okay. Since you want it, you can take it."

Toad Face looked at the supplies being handed over, but his eyes narrowed slightly and he did not take them.

Just now Armin was struggling desperately, but now he seems so happy, is there something fishy going on?

Toad Face thought of what he had just said, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't find anything unusual.

The confidence is back.

Toadface dodged Armin's supplies viciously, and then said, "Thank you for being sensible, or you will suffer. Go and find a place to live."

Toad Face weighed the purple stone, then raised his hand and walked away.

He left Armin a set of sect clothes, a set of exercises, and a waist badge...

Armin watched Toad Face leave, a deep smile on his face, and then walked towards 꿯뀘.

I can't wait to give this thing away.

After dealing with strange creatures for so long, it is not surprising that there is something wrong with the purple stone.

But this thing was nominally given to me by my master, and if I threw it away or didn't use it, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Toad Face snatched this thing away, which not only gave 놛놅 a reason, but also allowed 놛 to have a chance to scout the sect openly.

Haha...it really helped me a lot.

Armin walked along the path, passing various places along the way, including a black pond, a medicine garden with a strong smell of blood, and...

"What are you doing here?"

The red-robed elder stood in front of a cave with a sullen look on his face.

It can be clearly seen that the shadow of the red-robed elder has begun to change, gradually extending to include three heads.

"Elder...I...I am lost.

"My senior brother left for something, and I can't find where to go..."

Armin immediately mentioned that he had prepared a speech in advance.

The red-robed elder had a gloomy look on his face. He was carefully examining Armin, then suddenly lifted him up. There was a whirring sound in his ears. When he landed again, he was smashed into a simple room...

"cough…"

Almin felt his internal organs shifted...
