It's not as simple as just saying you're becoming an apprentice.
As the 362nd generation disciple of Qingyun Temple on Tushen Mountain, Jiang Fang attaches great importance to the ceremony.
Accepting disciples requires reporting to the Heavenly Dao and informing the Underworld, so that the Three Realms and Six Paths know which sect or school you belong to.
When Li Jianshan arrived, Jiang Si had just finished setting up the ceremony.
In the yard in front of the villa, there is an altar.
Jiang Si, dressed in a light green Taoist robe, stood before the offering table and turned around: "I've been waiting for you."
That glance was like a celestial being looking down upon mortals with a peaceful yet arrogant gaze. Despite her breathtaking beauty, it inspired no sense of disrespect.
Li Jianshan was still puzzled, wondering how Jiang Si knew he was coming.
On second thought, how difficult would it be for someone like Master Jiang to foresee these things?
Jiang Si told them to stand in front of the offering table, "Kneel down."
The two domineering CEOs, Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan, knelt down uncontrollably. Although they looked much like those who pretended to be gods and ghosts, at this moment, they felt as if there was something in front of them that made them submit involuntarily.
"Today you enter my Qingyun Temple as the 363rd generation disciples. You must abide by the temple rules, uphold righteousness, and take it as your responsibility to uphold justice. You must not collude with evil demons and heretics. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the temple and suffer the punishment of whipping for all eternity."
"Have you thought it through?" Jiang Si asked earnestly.
The path of cultivation is not a simple matter; it is solitary and long. In the past, there have been those in the temple who could not resist temptation and committed heinous mistakes.
Guan Qingfa and Li Jianshan also became serious. "We've thought it through."
"Alright, kowtow three times in this direction as a way of paying respects to your ancestor." Jiang Si was no longer in the original world, and only knew that her ancestor ascended to the southwest when he ascended to heaven.
As she said this, Jiang Si looked somewhat forlorn.
Ultimately, she felt somewhat out of place in this world. There was no master here, no fellow disciples.
After Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan kowtowed three times, they burned three sticks of incense in front of the offering table.
A gust of wind suddenly rose in the courtyard, and the smoke from the cigarette drifted southwestward in wisps.
Jiang Si looked at the swirling smoke, and her expression finally changed slightly: "It seems that the patriarch has approved of you."
After they finished their apprenticeship ceremony, Jiang Si tossed them a book.
"This is the basic mental cultivation method for beginners in my sect. Come back to me after you have mastered it." After saying that, he handed each of them a sword.
Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan took it and almost fell to the ground.
This is way too heavy!
"You lack a foundation and your physical fitness is poor. Starting tomorrow, you will master the mental techniques and practice swinging your sword a thousand times."
Jiang Si said to them meaningfully, "Nothing in this world is easy. I got to where I am today because I trained hard since I was a child. If you can't do it, you should leave the sect as soon as possible and not waste each other's time."
Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan are both elites who were raised from childhood; the word "give up" doesn't exist in their vocabulary.
The stewards of the Guan and Li families have recently developed a mutual respect for each other.
There's no other reason than that, although their family isn't lazy usually, their young master, who is even more so, got up earlier than the rest of them.
They are in a difficult position as servants.
In the end, it was Old Master Li who spoke up, saying that this was his business and that everyone should continue with their own plans.
He stroked his chin with satisfaction.
It was Li Jianshan's great fortune to be able to become Jiang Si's disciple.
In the pavilion in Jiang Si's courtyard, Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan were meditating and breathing exercises early in the morning.
Jiang Si said that at the turn of dawn and dusk, the yin and yang energies intertwine to generate chaotic energy, which is very beneficial for cleansing the body of dirt.
Although they don't understand, they know that in areas they don't understand, it's always good to listen more.
Jiang Si also said that only after they have mastered the basic mental techniques will they be taught some higher-level mental techniques.
As fellow disciples, Guan Qingchen and Li Jianshan naturally didn't want to lose, so they competed fiercely against each other.
Li Jianshan also has work to do, so in order not to fall behind, he spends his breaks between classes practicing.
The company employees were very curious that Mr. Li, who used to love going to the gym to lift weights, had actually set up a training room in his office.
Employees were peeking around.
"What triggered Mr. Li's anger?"
"I don't know, you can't guess what rich people are thinking."
Li Jianshan, who was practicing the beginner's mental techniques inside, was wondering if he hadn't given them enough work, since they had time to gossip about the boss.
Suddenly, he looked out the door, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He knew the quality of this door; its soundproofing was so good that even a party outside wouldn't be audible inside, yet he could hear it clearly.
He is nearsighted and usually only wears glasses when he is working.
Thinking back now, it seems like he hasn't touched his glasses in a long time.
He looked out the window, and he could almost see the person in the building across the street leaning against the window making a phone call.
At that distance, he could see about one person.
Li Jianshan was so excited he almost jumped up, but he stood up steadily again. Frustrated that there was no one else to share it with, Li Jianshan made a phone call to Guan Qingchen, who was staying at Jiang Si's house every day under the pretext of watching Han Yunluo.
"You would never guess how much I've changed!" Li Jianshan tried his best to keep his emotions in check.
"Your five senses have become stronger, right?" Guan Qingchen interjected. "Master said it's normal. I noticed it a long time ago."
"Did you give me special treatment?" Li Jianshan asked, displeased.
We started at the same time, and I became a junior disciple, but now I can't even keep up with your progress.
"That's because I practiced diligently," Guan Qingshan said coolly. "I'm not going to say anything more, I'm going to continue practicing."
Li Jianshan, who also had to endure the grueling work: "..."
It seems that President Li, who has decided to further expand his influence, needs to train more capable subordinates.
Aside from some previous endorsement work that he still had to do, Guan Qingshan turned down almost everything else and focused on practicing his martial arts.
Jiang Si asked him to swing a thousand times a day, so he swung two thousand times.
When he got tired, he would go to the Soul Nourishing Lamp and say a few words to Han Yunluo.
"When you get out, I promise I won't be so useless anymore. I'll be able to stand in front of you and protect you."
Guan Qingchen always felt resentful about Han Yunluo sacrificing herself to save the entire film crew.
If he had been even slightly useful back then, Han Yunluo wouldn't have had to suffer like this.
The Soul-Nourishing Lamp is transparent, and you can see a tiny speck of light floating around inside.
Jiang Si said that this was a sign that Han Yunluo's soul had recovered, and that he should talk to Han Yunluo more often when he had nothing to do.
Guan Qingchen got even more excited.
Every day he either practices his martial arts or talks to himself in front of a lamp.
Qi Yan and She Zhang, one a rat and the other a snake, shook their heads, saying it was hopeless.
With such a diligent person in the family, Jiang Si finally couldn't stand it anymore and sent Qi Yan and She Zhang away to cultivate.
As demons, Qi Yan and She Zhang were naturally gifted in cultivation.
Their cultivation can be completed while they sleep.
However, unlike humans, they are subject to the punishment of heavenly lightning, so if they want to advance further, they must practice physical techniques.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to withstand more than two strikes from the heavens.
