Feeling the terrifying pressure from Elder Tianxing, everyone took a few steps back.
Fortunately, Shen Kongzi stepped forward in time and replied to Elder Tianxing inside:
"Uncle Master, I am Shen Kongzi, and I am here with my new junior fellow apprentice to become your disciple!"
"Become my disciple?"
"Why do you want to be my disciple? I don't accept any disciples. Get out of here! Get away from me!"
Elder Tianxing's extremely rude voice was heard again, and Chen Shaoqiu almost despaired after hearing this.
He himself actually practiced swordsmanship, but the inherited skills of their Chen family and the great way of Elder Tianxing were complementary and mutually supportive, so he chose Elder Tianxing.
If he could get guidance from Elder Tianxing, then the upper limit of his achievement would definitely be greatly improved.
However, judging from the current situation, there is no chance of becoming Elder Tianxing's apprentice.
But, just when Chen Shaoqiu was about to give up, Shen Kongzi continued:
...
...
"Uncle Tianxing, I can guarantee that the one who is here to become my disciple this time is definitely a genius among geniuses. If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
Perhaps attracted by Shen Kongzi's words, Elder Tianxing suddenly flashed out of the hall and appeared in front of everyone at the same time.
"Whoever wants to be my disciple, I want to see what kind of genius he is!"
Elder Tianxing looked slovenly, with long hair draped over his shoulders and a wine gourd on his waist. He looked at everyone coldly.
Although Elder Tianxing looked extremely destitute, which was completely different from what Chen Shaoqiu had imagined, Chen Shaoqiu still stepped forward and replied immediately:
"I am Chen Shaoqiu from the Chen family of the Eastern Wasteland. I am sorry to have made a fool of myself. Compared with the other geniuses in the Eastern Wasteland, I am not really a genius, but I really want to become your disciple!"
Elder Tianxing glanced at Chen Shaoqiu coldly, and then was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he also sensed the martial arts that Chen Shaoqiu was practicing.
"Are you from the clan of that old man Chen Changsheng?"
Compared to the Chen family of Donghuang, Chen Changsheng's name is obviously more famous among the Saint Emperor-level beings like Elder Tianxing.
"Reporting to the elder, the Changsheng Patriarch is indeed an elder of our clan!"
Elder Tianxing took a good look at Chen Shaoqiu again, stroked his graying beard and said calmly:
"It does look good, a good candidate!"
"Originally, for the sake of that old fellow Chen Changsheng and your own qualifications, it is not impossible for me to take you as my apprentice. However, your presence this time disturbed my brewing, causing the Hundred Flowers Brew that I have been brewing for nearly ten thousand years to fail!"
"If you can find a good wine that satisfies me, I will accept you!"
"Don't blame me for being unkind. Elders like me need to set up tests when accepting disciples. This is the rule of Tiandao Academy. My test shouldn't be too difficult!"
In a sense, what Elder Tianxing said was indeed correct.
After all, the tests given by other elders in the Tiandao Academy’s inner courtyard were likely to be countless times more difficult than his.
However, this made Chen Shaoqiu difficult. Where could he get the wine that would satisfy Elder Tianxing at this time?
In fact, what Elder Tianxing meant was that as long as Chen Shaoqiu could take out the wine and show his appreciation, he would be able to let Chen Shaoqiu pass the test directly.
After all, he and Chen Changsheng actually have a very good relationship.
If it weren't for the rules of Tiandao Academy, after knowing that Chen Shaoqiu was a member of Chen Changsheng's clan, he would have directly asked Chen Shaoqiu to become his disciple.
However, Chen Shaoqiu did not understand this meaning.
Fortunately, at this time Lin Yu suddenly walked out and took out two jars of good wine and threw them directly to Elder Tianxing.
"Senior Tianxing, this is the good wine that Brother Chen has been leaving with me. Try it and see how it tastes!"
Chen Shaoqiu was slightly stunned, then smiled at Lin Yu to express his gratitude.
He understood that Lin Yu said this on purpose to help him out.
As for Elder Tian Xing, he couldn't wait to tear off the seal on the wine jar and start tasting it.
After taking just one sip of the fine wine, Elder Tianxing could not help but exclaim in admiration:
“Good wine!”
“Good wine!”
"Where did you get this wine, little guy? Do you have any more?"
Elder Tianxing rushed to Lin Yu excitedly, grabbed his hand, and kept asking questions.
Lin Yu replied: "No more, there are only two jars of this wine!"
Hearing this, Elder Tianxing was a little disappointed, but he still said to Lin Yu:
"Boy, why don't you also take me as your master? As long as you take me as your master, I am willing to break the rules and not test you!"
Elder Tianxing’s meaning was also very clear. As long as Lin Yu was willing to worship him as his master, he would definitely have the opportunity to drink this wine in the future.
However, Lin Yu replied: "I appreciate your kindness, but I am a practitioner of the Way of Wisdom and have decided to take Elder Queyue as my teacher!"
"You want to take that old guy as your master? What a pity!"
Elder Tianxing shook his head slightly, feeling very annoyed and regretful.
"Forget it, since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. But boy, I will remember you. From now on, my Tianxing Palace will always be open to you. You can come anytime you want. Of course, it would be even better if you can also have that good wine!"
Elder Tianxing said to Lin Yu with a smile, and at the same time looked at Chen Shaoqiu and said lightly:
"You have passed the test, kid from the Chen family. From now on, you will be my last disciple!"
Chen Shaoqiu quickly knelt down in front of Elder Tianxing and bowed respectfully:
"Disciple greets Master!"
Elder Tianxing waved his hand irritably and said, "Alright, stop kneeling. I don't have so many rules in my sect!"
"Oh, by the way, my cultivation methods and insights are all in the Sutra Library. If you need anything, just go and read it yourself. If you don't understand anything, come and ask me!"
"Also, since you have become my last disciple, I will hand over this Tianxing Palace to you from now on!"
After giving Chen Shaoqiu some instructions and granting him control of the Tianxing Hall, Elder Tianxing disappeared with a smile, taking the two jars of wine that Lin Yu had given him.
After all the operations, Lin Yu and the others were stunned.
Even the usually calm Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but ask Shen Kongzi:
"Are all the elders in charge of Tiandao Academy so eclectic?"
Shen Kongzi wanted to refute, but after thinking about those elders with strange tempers, he finally nodded heavily and said:
"Maybe, a little bit, it is true..."
After these words were spoken, everyone found it hard to accept.
However, their apprenticeship had to continue, and they said goodbye to Chen Shaoqiu and set off again.
