...Are there any visitors?

Looking at the dark clouds rolling with thunder in the sky, Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, wondering what kind of guest would appear in this way.

Could it be... the legendary Thunder God and Lightning Goddess?

Thinking of his master's magical methods, Xu Xian couldn't help but have a lot of imagination.

"boom!"

At this moment, a blue lightning as thick as a bucket fell from the sky and crashed down on the place where Ishiyama Jun was standing.

Xu Xian woke up suddenly, looked at the place where the thunder struck, hesitated for a moment, turned around and ran towards the county town.

If this guest is really someone important, then he should not trouble the master...

On the other side, Immortal Zishan, wearing a purple robe, rode on a cloud, flew into the air, and stood proudly under the calamity cloud, allowing the thunder as thick as buckets to strike him one after another, but he remained unmoved.

It's just a mere transformation calamity. Even if he doesn't have the hundred years of cultivation rewarded by the system task, he is not afraid at all.

So, after nine full thunder strikes, True Man Zishan, with arcs of electricity wrapped around his body, looked contemptuously at the calamity clouds that were dissipating in the sky, and then landed on the ground refreshed.

After absorbing the thunder on his body, Master Zishan stretched out his body and looked down the mountain with a sharp gaze.

Although the system's tasks did not have any restrictions on qualifications, out of his own pride, Master Zishan did not accept disciples casually. Instead, he waited until now based on the principle of "better to have nothing than to have the wrong one."

——Of course, this was just Master Zishan’s previous thought.

Now, he met Xu Xian and suddenly realized that he seemed to have a bit of a hobby of collecting historical celebrities.

If it's a familiar character from the previous life like Xu Xian, Fahai, or Ning Caichen, then even if the qualifications are a little worse, it doesn't seem impossible, right?

Thinking of this, Master Zishan blinked his eyes, coughed twice, and turned to look at a tree not far away.

Long before he landed, he felt a vague sense of being watched from that direction.

Now he turned his head and saw a furry little head among the lush leaves.

“So it’s you…”

Master Zishan smiled, raised his hand, and brought the little fox over.

All four of the little fox's legs were in the air, and it immediately started to flutter in panic.

It was not until its little paws fell on Master Zishan's arms that it finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it held on to Master Zishan's clothes tightly, not daring to let go.

Master Zishan stroked its silky fur with a smile, then opened the system panel in his mind.

Sure enough, after completing the task of recruiting disciples, the system released a new task called [Teaching and Learning].

However, Master Zishan was not in a hurry to check the new tasks, but first opened the new panel unlocked after the tasks were completed.

[Apprentice Panel (1 apprentice accepted)]

【Name: Xu Xian】

【Cultivation: Mortal】

[Immortal Qualification: Class C-1]

【Martial Arts Qualification: Lower B】

[Qiyun Qualification: Class A]

【Comprehensive potential assessment: B-low】

[Comment: As a senior brother, his qualifications are too mediocre, but as a test number for training, it is quite suitable. It is recommended that the host let go of his hands and feet when teaching, and experiment with various teaching methods, so as to accumulate experience and make persistent efforts. ]

Master Zishan: “…”

Does this mean that the system assumes that he will train a secondary trumpet in the future even before the training begins?

Looking at this panel, the evaluation under Comprehensive Potential B shouldn’t be so bad, right?

Master Zishan complained in his heart, and then looked at the column of Xu Xian's martial arts qualifications thoughtfully.

...I really can’t tell!

This kid looks weak, how come he has martial arts aptitude of lower B level?

Is he going to start from this aspect?

Master Zishan pondered while starting a new task.

[Task name: Preaching and receiving instruction]

[Task Description: A teacher is someone who teaches, accepts, and resolves doubts. As a novice teacher, you don’t need to rush to resolve doubts. It is recommended that you focus on teaching and accepting. Please aim at the right path, choose the right path to teach, and lead your disciples to officially embark on the path of cultivation.]

[Mission objective: Teach the apprentice the way of immortality or martial arts, and make him master it.]

[Mission Reward: One hundred years of cultivation, three chances to draw a lottery for immortal martial arts techniques in the Sutra Library]

Seeing the description of the task reward, Master Zishan became alert and immediately focused his mind on the chance to win the lottery.

In an instant, an incomparably magnificent scripture library appeared before him, containing countless skills from all over the heavens and worlds.

With just a cursory glance, Master Zishan saw many martial arts techniques that sounded quite impressive, such as "Tathagata Palm", "Great Sun Sutra", "Nuclear Explosion Fist" and so on.

In the immortal arts area next to it, there are even peerless immortal arts of the level of Seventy-two Earthly Transformations, Thirty-six Heavenly Transformations, Eight-nine Mysterious Arts, and Great Heavenly Immortal Art.

"This... can this also be drawn?"

Master Zishan looked at the illusion of the Sutra Library in front of him excitedly, and suddenly he felt an urge to run to Xu Xian and force him to practice to the level of mastery.

But he couldn't do that. He had already made an appointment with Xu Xian to meet in seven days. If he ran over now, wouldn't that damage his master's reputation?

Moreover, Master Zishan's cultivation has skyrocketed and he has just transformed. It will take some time for him to stabilize his realm and rebuild his supernatural powers.

Thinking of this, Master Zishan calmed himself down, flew high into the sky amid the screams of the little fox in his arms, opened his Dharma Eyes, searched for dragons and veins, and prepared to find a suitable place on this mountain to open a cave.

Just like that, seven days passed quickly.

At noon, the handsome young man sat behind the counter of Baozhitang, flipping through the book in his hands in the sunlight shining in from the door.

But looking at his appearance, he no longer has the seriousness and obsession of the past, which always makes people feel that he is a little absent-minded.

The shopkeeper saw the boy's worries and smiled. While sorting the herbs, he asked casually, "Xu kid, what's wrong? Which girl do you like? Do you want your uncle to help you talk to her?"

Xu Xian was slightly startled, his face flushed, and he quickly said: "How is it possible!"

"It's just...it's just that the weather has been changing suddenly these days, and it's made me a little distracted."

The shopkeeper was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "That's true. In the past, the weather here has changed suddenly, but never as dramatically as in the past few days, especially the inexplicable thunderstorm seven days ago. Tsk, tsk, that's something that only happens once in ten years!"

Hearing the shopkeeper's sighing voice, Xu Xian looked a little dazed.

The past seven days had been too peaceful. If it weren't for the thunderstorm seven days ago that was still fresh in the minds of the neighbors, he would have suspected that he had just had a dream when he was taking shelter from the rain at Ishiyama-kun's place.

"After seven days...it's already the eighth day, Master, will you still come to see me?"

Xu Xian looked at the book in his hand, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Regardless of whether the memories in his mind were true or not, Xu Xian did not go up the mountain to verify them. Instead, he strictly abided by the agreement and stayed in Baozhitang for seven days.

From this perspective, Xu Xian's character is very suitable for that kind of foolish practice.

Master Zishan felt that if he only taught him one move and asked him to practice it for ten years, Xu Xian would probably not have any questions, but would instead practice unwaveringly for ten years according to his instructions.

Well, it seems that this disciple is not as bad as the system evaluates...

Outside Baozhi Hall, Master Zishan changed his appearance and stood on the street, looking at the young man in Baozhi Hall with a smile.

"Hey, sir, do you want to buy it or not?"

"Don't touch it if you can't afford it!"

An impatient voice came from the front, bringing Master Zishan back to reality.

He glanced at the cheap storybook in his hand, curled his lips, put it down, and then walked away under the unhappy gaze of the stall owner.

That night, Xu Xian sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the bright moon outside the window, and sighed softly.

Sure enough, the experience that day was just a dream he had while taking shelter from the rain...

"My dear disciple, are you impatient?"

A slightly amused voice suddenly came from outside the window.

Xu Xian came to his senses and stared out the window in a daze. He saw a Taoist priest in purple robe standing on the eaves outside the window. He had a handsome face and a smile on his lips, exactly like the master he had seen in his dream.

“…Master?!”

Xu Xian suddenly stood up, leaned on the windowsill, and said with surprise: "You are real!"

The smile on Master Zishan's face froze, and he immediately jumped down, landing lightly in front of the window, looking at the young man and said unhappily: "Nonsense, of course your master is real!"

Xu Xian looked at Master Zishan with excitement on his face.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and quickly opened the window and said, "Master, please come in and talk. My sister and brother-in-law live next door, and they can easily hear what we are saying in the yard."

“…”

Master Zishan glanced at the couple who were making a little man in the bedroom next door, and shook his head with a strange expression: "Don't worry, they can't hear it."

Having said that, Master Zishan still lifted his feet off the ground and flew into Xu Xian's room.

Seeing this scene, Xu Xian felt excited again.

Master Zishan glanced at him, then suddenly smiled and said, "My dear disciple, I guess you must want to ask why I didn't go to look for you in the daytime when the seven-day appointment has come, right?"

“…”

Xu Xian was slightly stunned, and then nodded embarrassedly.

Master Zishan smiled and said, "Because you still have to work during the day."

Xu Xian was stunned: "Work...work?"

"Oh, that's the job of an apprentice at Baozhitang."

After hearing Zishan Zhenren's explanation, Xu Xian was stunned again: "You...you still care about this?"

Master Zishan shook his head and said, "I don't care, but you seem to care a lot."

Xu Xian was stunned when he heard this, and then he felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Master Zishan smiled slightly, then changed the subject and said softly: "My dear disciple, you and I are destined to have a master-disciple relationship, there is no doubt about that, but I am not sure where this fate lies."

"So, after careful consideration, I decided to take your opinion into consideration."

Having said this, Master Zishan paused, turned to look at the stunned young man, and asked seriously:

"Xu Xian, what do you want to learn?"
