This matter also gave Master Yue Ran a headache. Could it be that he had guessed correctly? Elder Meng really had his eye on Zi Shu's ethereal body and had come to take Zi Shu away.
Almost the entire Medicine King Pavilion was mobilized; the scale of the operation was quite impressive.
At the same time, Zishu was under a lot of pressure. He was facing an old senior who had been cultivating for who knows how many years, and the old senior's gaze did not seem very friendly. Zishu really wanted to ask, "May I ask what brings you here? I don't know you, and I have not offended you." So, that cold expression was really terrifying.
"Would you be willing to follow me in cultivation?"
"May I ask which alchemist you are?" He was already familiar with most of the alchemists in the Medicine King Pavilion, but he had never seen this one before.
"I am a martial artist, not an alchemist."
"I am an alchemist."
Why does this conversation sound so strange?
"Your alchemy is a waste of your ethereal body."
"So, should I become a Taoist nun?"
"Excellent. You will definitely not regret following me in your cultivation."
"May I ask if you are a sword cultivator, senior?"
Old Meng shook his head, while Zishu looked rather dejected.
"Senior, please leave. I only cultivate to assist in alchemy. I have no interest in cultivation itself and will certainly not go too far on the path of cultivation. I am also unable to inherit your martial arts will. I am sorry to disappoint you."
Old Master Meng Σ(°△°|||)︴, after all these years, he's finally been rejected, truly rejected. You know how many people have begged him to take them as disciples, and he's rejected them all without hesitation. This kid, on the other hand, has rejected him outright.
"You really don't want to become my disciple?"
Zishu shook his head, his eyes bright and determined, not looking like he was joking.
After Master Yueran and the others arrived, they heard this sentence, and the heavy weight in their hearts was finally lifted.
"Greetings, Your Excellency, and all the elders."
Zishu never expected to see the Holy Master again in such a short time. If he hadn't come for him, then he had come for the old man standing before him.
What merit or ability does this old man possess to warrant the presence of the Holy Master, and judging from the Holy Master's attitude, he holds him in the highest esteem? What on earth is going on? Zishu's mind is about to crash.
"This is Elder Meng, the pillar of the Haoqi Pavilion."
"This junior was unaware of Elder Meng's visit and has offended you greatly. Please forgive me, Elder Meng." Zishu was also startled; this old man was actually quite formidable.
"I'll ask you again, are you willing to become my disciple?"
"younger generation......"
"You don't need to answer me now. I'll give you three days to think about what you really want."
"Thank you, Elder Meng."
Then, Elder Meng and Alchemist Yue Ran left, and the remaining elders immediately began to wrap Zi Shu up like dumplings.
Have you met Elder Meng before?
Zishu shook his head.
"Are you related to Old Master Meng by blood?"
"Naturally, it never existed."
The elders were completely baffled as to what had happened.
"This junior was unaware of Elder Meng's sudden visit, but I always remember that I am an alchemist."
"Actually, it is your good fortune to be valued by Elder Meng. Elder Meng is a cultivation prodigy who appears only once in a thousand years. Although he is strict with his personal disciples, he also takes good care of them. If you can really get guidance from Elder Meng, it will greatly benefit your future cultivation."
Zishu: Σ(°△°|||)︴。 What's wrong with these alchemists? They're actually trying to persuade me to practice martial arts instead.
Could it be that none of them were absolutely certain of victory, so they discussed it among themselves and decided that rather than letting one of them benefit, they might as well send him away directly?
Zishu has inadvertently veered into conspiracy theories again.
"Let Zishu deal with this himself; we shouldn't interfere."
That makes sense.
“Zishu, Elder Meng’s cultivation is quite remarkable. Ultimately, the choice you make is entirely up to you.”
"Thank you, elders, I understand."
The elders arrived quickly and left quickly, soon departing from Zishu's room.
Not long after they left, Ye Xiruo arrived.
"What brings you here, Junior Sister?"
"Of course I received the news. Seeing that you are safe and sound, I am relieved."
Zishu: Σ(°△°|||)︴, what's on your mind, Junior Sister? Even if Elder Meng came, we can't be unreasonable and just yell at him to kill.
"I'm fine. Elder Meng just visited and wanted me to become his disciple." There's no point in hiding this; I reckon almost everyone in the Medicine King Pavilion knows about it.
"Senior Brother, what are your own thoughts?"
"I don't know either. Cultivation and alchemy are no different to me." Had he known this would be the answer, the eldest brother, with his innocent heart, had been led by his master onto the paths of alchemy and cultivation. In his heart, the two were indeed no different.
"How about this, you can remain a pill refiner at the Medicine King Pavilion, and Master Xue Junhanxue can guide you in pill refining, and then you can follow Elder Meng to cultivate."
Is this okay?
"This is the best solution. If Elder Meng cannot accept it, you should stay in the Medicine King Pavilion and focus on refining pills." There's no harm in it anyway.
"These are two different systems with different focuses in cultivation. I'm afraid that I'll have to give up on both in the end."
"You're talking about others, but don't forget you have an ethereal body. Can others compare to your cultivation speed and comprehension? I believe Senior Brother can definitely cultivate both. The Great Dao is one, and all paths lead to the same destination. Alchemists cultivate spiritual power, and martial artists cultivate physical strength. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the body, enhance spiritual power, and finally ascend. For Senior Brother, combining these two is much easier than for ordinary people."
"Let me think about it."
"Alright, I won't bother you any longer. Here is some information I've collected about several alchemists. Take a look at it yourself, and then follow your heart to make your choice."
"I will, thank you, junior sister."
"You're welcome. I'll be going now. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
"good."
Master Yue Ran was surprised that Elder Meng was actually moved. The two left Zi Shu's room and went to Master Yue Ran's residence.
Sitting down on a chair under the bamboo grove, Master Yueran personally brewed a pot of tea, and the two drank together.
When did this happen?
"The Heavenly Ladder".
"A body of ethereal spirit is indeed an extraordinary talent. If he had been born in the immortal realm, he would probably have become an immortal by now."
He will ascend to heaven sooner or later.
"That's natural."
"I will not compromise on this matter, so please do not stop me."
"Of course not." 46
