Chapter 380 [Apprenticeship]
When Sheng Qingyun saw that the child could create fire with ease, he held his breath and his fingers pinching the hem of his clothes trembled. Could it be that the child in front of him was an immortal?
He was originally weak but suddenly became energetic: "Master Qingfeng, are you from the world of immortal cultivation?"
Master Liao nodded slightly. He had just learned from Sheng Zhixing the secrets of the third prince's life from childhood to adulthood.
He spoke, and began to count Sheng Qingyun's words in a leisurely tone: "Your name is Sheng Qingyun, the third prince of Nanzhao. You have a red birthmark on the left side of your buttocks, you were born with it."
"When you were three, you were kicked by a dog and fell into a manure pit, nearly drowning. Your father suppressed the news because it was too embarrassing. You stank for two months and had to hide away in the hot spring palace. Your father announced to the public that you were studying martial arts at Dasheng."
"When you were sixteen, you secretly drank the sweet-scented osmanthus wine from your father's bedroom and urinated against a palace pillar. Your father severely beat you, but he ultimately kept this shameful secret for you."
"All the girls you secretly loved were snatched away by your elder brother..."
Sheng Qingyun was shocked when he heard the Taoist priest read out his little-known secrets. His face, which was already red due to fever, became even redder.
Sheng Qingyun was embarrassed and said in a pleading tone, "Senior, that's enough, that's enough, please don't say any more!"
"I have severed these worldly ties."
He put his hands in his pockets. He had tried his best to forget these embarrassing moments, but now his senior was reading them out to him one by one. Was this also a kind of experience for him?
Sheng Qingyun has read many stories about seeking immortality. The stories say that the masters in the world of immortal cultivation are hundreds or even thousands of years old, but they can maintain their youthful appearance and even regain their youth!
Sheng Qingyun swallowed his saliva and rubbed his hands in anticipation: "So, Senior, are you here to take me to the world of immortal cultivation and join the sect?"
Master Liao nodded and shook his head.
"It's not time yet. I'm going through trials and tribulations in the mortal world, and it will take another twenty years before I can return to the immortal world."
"Besides, you're completely powerless now, and your skills are mediocre. If you go to the world of immortal cultivation, you'll only get beaten! What's more..."
Master Liao sighed maturely, "Your cultivation method is wrong! You've been deceived by a black-hearted mortal. Your previous master, Taoist Wu, was a liar. If you continue to cultivate according to his teachings, you'll be doomed."
"Now this Taoist Priest Wu has run away."
"You have a high fever right now. If you're not careful, you might become a fool!"
Sheng Qingyun's expression changed, and he felt a wave of fear: "No wonder I've been feeling weaker and weaker these past few days, sometimes even dying. I thought it was just the hardship I had to endure to cultivate the Great Dao!"
"You're wrong. When cultivating immortality, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flows into your body. Your condition should get better and better as you practice."
Master Liao scolded him with a stern face: "You are taking a detour and suffering unnecessary hardships!"
Sheng Qingyun recalled the things that went wrong when he was "cultivating" with Taoist Master Wu. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He scrambled off the bed and knelt down in front of Master Liao: "Senior, save my life!"
Master Liao didn't expect that there really was such a superstitious person. He was talking nonsense and the other party believed it.
"Fortunately, you have a strong foundation and are resilient. You also have a pure heart that has touched me. I really can't bear to see you go astray!"
Master Liao waved his hand, imitating the anime he had watched and making a childish hand seal. "Are you willing to accept me as your master and follow me in my quest for enlightenment? Twenty years from now, I will bring you back to the sect."
Sheng Qingyun got goose bumps when he saw Master Liao's complicated and gorgeous gestures. He was so excited: "Yes, disciple, I am willing!"
It is said that he kowtowed to the ground three times. Master Liao was scared when he heard the sound. It must have been really hard.
"Disciple, get up quickly."
Master Liao took out a few round Maltesers chocolates from his pouch and said, "This is the rejuvenation pill I made. It can temporarily relieve your discomfort."
Sheng Qingyun looked at the pill that Master Liao took out and was ecstatic. He took it without hesitation and put it into his mouth, swallowing one in one gulp.
Seeing that Sheng Qingyun believed what he said, Master Liao asked Jiang Lili to feed him a bottle of Pulse, a functional drink that supplements vitamins.
He originally wanted to give Sheng Qingyun a fever-reducing pill, but it is not good to take cold medicine on an empty stomach.
If Sheng Qingyun doesn't eat or drink water, he will probably suffer from symptoms of hypoglycemia and dehydration, so he has to eat something first.
Sheng Qingyun watched Master Liao conjure up a bizarre-shaped bottle out of thin air, and was so surprised that he stuttered, "Could it be... this is the legendary Void Retrieving Objects!"
"Master, do you have a mustard seed space that can be used to retrieve objects from it with your mind?"
Master Liao originally wanted to explain, but he didn't expect that this person was self-taught. Why does it seem that this cultivator's ability to accept the second disease is much stronger than that of ancient people?
That's good, he can also save a lot of tedious explanation steps.
"Yes, but unfortunately my mustard seed space is only half as powerful in the mortal world. It can only take things, not store them."
Master Liao began to promise Sheng Qingyun: "If you follow me and cultivate diligently, and listen carefully to my teachings, one day you will reach my level."
Sheng Qingyun couldn't help but show a strong desire and yearning in his eyes: "Master, I will work hard!"
Master Liao's small hands struggled to unscrew the cap of the Pulse drink bottle. "You have to chew the rejuvenation pill carefully, otherwise it will be very painful to swallow it directly. Hurry and take it with the elixir I made!"
"Nirvana dew?!"
Sheng Qingyun respectfully took it and kowtowed several times on the ground. "Master and I have only known each other for less than a quarter of an hour, and you have already given me such a generous gift!"
He was so moved that his eyes filled with tears, and he became more and more convinced that Taoist Wu was a liar. Taoist Wu only knew how to draw talismans and refine pills, and asked for money from him and made various demands.
His true abilities like creating fire or taking objects out of thin air have never been revealed!
Thinking of this, Sheng Qingyun was so excited that he wanted to kowtow again. Master Liao quickly raised his hand to stop him: "I have received your kindness. You don't have to kowtow to me all the time in the future!"
He was really afraid that this man would get hurt by the head, even though he was already seriously ill.
"Hurry up and take the pills and nectar, or your life will be in danger!"
Sheng Qingyun was very obedient and followed his master's instructions. He drank a sip of the "immortal dew". The sweet liquid moistened his dehydrated mouth. He took a big gulp and Sheng Qingyun had an endless aftertaste.
He put the remaining "Rejuvenation Pill" into his mouth. Unlike the bitter taste of the pill he imagined, the Rejuvenation Pill made by his master was unusually sweet and delicious! He couldn't stop eating it and wanted to eat a second one.
