Of course, Yi Xichen had made up the story that Yuying Zhenren wanted to take him in as a disciple. Although he hated Xiao Kui, he would not risk going crazy just to win a match against him in a sword-fighting competition. He could not bear it again, so he deliberately made up a story to provoke Xiao Kui, messing up his mood and winning a chance for himself.
When Yi Xichen arrived at Fengqi Palace, Jade Immortal was already sitting in the main hall waiting for him.
"Disciple meets the master."
Yi Xichen bowed respectfully to Jade Immortal. He was always disrespectful in front of Yao Budu, but he could pretend to be well-behaved in front of outsiders.
"Come here, kid, let me take a look at you."
Yi Xichen was confused and walked forward obediently.
Yuying Zhenren looked at Yi Xichen silently for a moment, then pointed a finger at his forehead. Yi Xichen was startled, and hesitated without opening his sea of consciousness. Even if the other party was the head of the sect, he did not trust him to this extent.
Fortunately, True Man Yuying did not try to force her way into his sea of consciousness. She just felt his breath and then withdrew her fingers.
"Child, you don't have a fake spiritual root, but a rare mutated spiritual root. I and the elders were wrong before."
Yi Xichen said hurriedly: "It's because of my special physique. It's natural that the master can't see it. Even I only found out about it recently."
Yuying Zhenren nodded and said, "Your physique is indeed very special. There is a very strong force blocking your tendons and meridians, which is why you can only exert one tenth or one twelfth of your power. It is a pity that such a good seedling has been delayed for so many years."
"It's not a pity, it's not a pity." Yi Xichen said with a smile, "Since it is sealed, I will be able to remove the seal one day, and it's not too late."
"Oh?" said Master Yuying, "Do you already know how to unlock the seal in your body?"
Yi Xichen hesitated for a moment, then replied vaguely, "There is always a way."
He had already discussed with his eldest grandson Jun that next year, when they were old enough to go out and practice, they would go together to find the five natural treasures and then try the body refining method. He did not tell the truth to Jade Immortal, because he could not explain how his eldest grandson Jun knew all these things.
Yuying Zhenren said, "I know a way that may be able to unlock the seal in your body. Child, are you willing to be my disciple?"
Yi Xichen was stunned. Did he hear it right? Master Yuying said that he wanted to accept him as his disciple? Oh my god, is this true? ! He just said it casually, is he practicing the art of words and spirits? !
Seeing that Yi Xichen was slow to speak, Jade Ying Zhenren asked again, "You don't want to?"
"Well……"
Yi Xichen was only concerned with shock, and didn't think about whether he was willing or not. This was really too weird. Hundreds of people in Tianjian Sect knew that Master Yuying was a sword maniac who only recognized swords. He even handed over all the affairs of the sect to other elders unless he had to step in. But now Master Yuying seemed to have changed his temper.
Yi Xichen asked: "Why?"
Yuying Zhenren was obviously stunned for a moment, obviously he did not expect Yi Xichen to dare to ask him, the head of the sect. He frowned slightly, as if he had never considered this question before. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I have been practicing for more than 200 years, and I have never seen a spiritual root as abnormal as yours. Although I am just a name, I am still the head of a sect. If I can guide you, maybe I can make up for your shortcomings over the years."
So... this is Aicai?
If Yi Xichen had imagined what was happening, he would have thought that he would have agreed without hesitation. After all, as the master's inner disciple, he would not have to worry about spiritual stones and immortal materials. But now that it really happened, he hesitated. Although he would not abandon Yao Budu after becoming the master's disciple, he still felt uncomfortable. Yao Budu was not only a master to him and his eldest grandson Zijun, but also a father.
Yuying Zhenren said: "In order to unlock the seal in your body, I am afraid that I will need some natural treasures. Don't worry about this. I will find a way for you."
Yi Xichen was even more excited. It would be very difficult for him and his eldest grandson Zijun to find those immortal materials. It would be much easier if Yuying Zhenren helped.
However, he still said, "Master, can you allow me to go back and think about this for two days?" Although he had the intention, even if he agreed, he had to listen to the opinion of the eldest grandson Zijun first and get the approval of Yao Budu. If the eldest grandson Zijun and Yao Budu disagreed, then forget it.
Yuying Zhenren didn't expect Yi Xichen to refuse, but he didn't force it. He just said, "Of course you can. Come back to me when you have made up your mind. Even if you don't want to be my master, I will try to help you remove the seal on your body. After all, you are a disciple of my Tianjian Sect."
After receiving this promise, Yi Xichen was immediately overjoyed. He bowed to Jade Immortal again and took his leave.
After leaving Fengqi Temple, Yi Xichen was in a very good mood, humming a little tune as he walked back. Not long after he walked, he suddenly saw the grass on the side of the road moving. Yi Xichen stopped and stared at the place in confusion. Not long after, the grass moved again, and there seemed to be something inside.
There are some golden toads growing on Tianjian Mountain. The saliva of golden toads can be used to make elixirs. People often see disciples from the Medicine Pavilion kneeling in the grass with their buttocks sticking out, searching for golden toads. Sometimes disciples from other pavilions will help catch golden toads. One can be exchanged for two primary spirit stones. After being caught so many times, the golden toads have become smarter and go to hard-to-find places, so their prices have risen again recently.
Yi Xichen immediately became interested. Although he had no use for the golden toad recently, it would be good to catch it and exchange it for some spiritual stones. Today must be an auspicious day, and good things will happen one after another!
Yi Xichen tiptoed towards the bush, and when it was within reach, he took a deep breath and prepared to jump over it!
Suddenly, the bushes moved again, and a large, round, gray stone rolled out of the bushes spontaneously.
Yi Xichen was stunned: "What...what kind of stone is this?"
The "stone" was dissatisfied with being called a stone, so it rolled towards Yi Xichen and bumped into his toes.
"Huh?" Yi Xichen bent down and picked up the "stone", "Is this... an egg?"
It was indeed a gray egg, as big as a human head. Yi Xichen picked it up and it rolled around restlessly.
It was obvious that there was a monster in the egg that was about to break out of its shell, but the strange thing was that Yi Xichen didn't sense any monster aura from it. He held the egg and looked at it carefully for a moment, but couldn't recognize what monster's egg would grow like this.
"You are a spirit beast raised by some elder, right?" Yi Xichen put it back into the bushes. "Hurry back, or the elder will be anxious if he can't find you."
No beast would dare to lay eggs on Tianjian Mountain. This must be raised by someone in Tianjian Sect. If there is no evil spirit, then it is a spirit beast. A natural spirit beast is an extremely rare treasure. For a cultivator, it is almost considered a natural spirit root. The disciples certainly cannot afford to raise such a rare treasure, so it can only be a pet of the elders.
Yi Xichen took a step forward to leave. The gray egg rolled over and stuck to his back, seeming to like him very much.
Yi Xichen poked it with his hand in amusement: "Go back quickly. I am a disciple of the Medicine Pavilion. If you don't leave, I will use you to make pills!"
The gray egg turned around on the ground angrily, and after a moment, it rolled back into the bushes.
After driving away the spirit beast egg, Yi Xichen continued to hum a tune as he walked towards the disciple room, and soon passed by the Shennong Temple. He didn't know that there was also a living creature hiding in the bushes beside the Shennong Temple, waiting for him - Xiao Kui.
After Yi Xichen was summoned by the head of the sect, everyone left except Xiao Kui. After much deliberation, he decided to ambush Yi Xichen here. By ambush, he didn't mean he wanted to fight with Yi Xichen here, after all, it was against the sect's rules, and he didn't want to be expelled from the Tianjian Sect because of such a small matter. He also had another extremely damaging idea.
Here he comes! Seeing Yi Xichen coming from a distance, Xiao Kui immediately held his breath and held the prepared things in his hands.
Yi Xichen didn't notice him, Yi Xichen walked past, and the opportunity came!
Xiao Kui pinched a small black insect on his fingertips and flicked it towards Yi Xichen's back. The small black insect drew an arc silently in the air and landed on Yi Xichen's shoulder.
It’s done! Xiao Kui clenched his fists excitedly.
It was a listening insect. He was worried that Yi Xichen was really accepted as a disciple by Yuying Zhenren, and that Yi Xichen would be captured again. He also suspected that Yi Xichen was lying to him, so he decided to use this listening insect to find out the truth for him. Although this was a mean act, Xiao Kui was not an upright person, and he could do even more sinister tricks. Now he just hoped to understand the truth so that he could prepare for tomorrow's competition. Lose to Yi Xichen? It would be better to let him die!
Yi Xichen had no idea that someone had planted a listening bug on his body, and he walked back humming a tune.
