Immortal Mansion Longevity

   Chapter 206 The relationship between master and apprentice (two in one chapter)

   Therefore, Liu Yu has no burden or guilt in her heart for moving closer to the Yan family.

   "In order to keep the inheritance of the sect in an orderly manner, the sect will hold an apprenticeship ceremony every 30 years. As long as the foundation-building time has not exceeded 40 years, the same sect can participate."

   "Twenty-four years have passed since the last apprenticeship ceremony. Did Junior Brother Liu ever think about participating in this session?"

   Yan Hongyu did not answer Liu Yu's words directly, but instead asked a question.

  Xiu Xian pays attention to "wealth, companion, law, and land", and the importance of companion is only after resources, which shows the importance of "mate".

   There is a famous teacher to guide, you can avoid a lot of detours when cultivating, not only that, but also equivalent to having a big backer in the sect.

   Take Liu Yu himself as an example, if he was guided by a master during the Qi refining period, his cultivation speed could at least be increased by 10-30%.

   And there is a master who comes forward, it is easy to exchange the foundation building Dan, and you don't have to spend so much effort to plan.

  If Geng Yuanzhang couldn't be helped at that time, Liu Yu really had no good solution for a while.

  The relationship between master and apprentice is generally divided into two types, one is direct disciple, and the other is named disciple.

   In-person disciples are generally apprentices accepted by cultivators in order to pass on what they have learned, so that what they have learned will not be cut off.

   In this way, at the end of life, the body dies, but the Way remains.

   It is precisely because the direct disciple is to pass on the mantle and mantle, so he is often brought by the master to give guidance from time to time, and the relationship between the master and the disciple is very close.

   If the apprentice is bullied or treated unfairly, the master will also come forward to deal with it.

  Some monks believe that the relationship between master and apprentice is even closer than that of parents. After all, your parents only gave you a body, and the master gave you hope for longevity.

   Therefore, even if the cultivation realm exceeds that of the master in the future, the disciple should honestly call him the master, and the relationship and title between the two parties will not change due to the realm of cultivation.

  If a disciple disrespects or betrays his master, he will be criticized by everyone in the world of immortality.

   As for named disciples, the relationship between master and apprentice is not that close.

  Named disciples often only get a few words from the master, but they do not get the true biography of the master.

   The relationship between the master and the apprentice is only superficial. The apprentice is only under the name of the master and has a superficial backer.

The   Apprenticeship Ceremony is a tradition of the Yuanyang Sect. It is held every 30 years. As long as the monks have not built their foundation for more than 40 years, they can participate.

   Liu Yu also heard about the reception ceremony.

   The improvement of the realm of the cultivator is becoming more and more difficult. Just like a pyramid, the number of people on the upper level of the pyramid is far less than the number of people on the next level, and the gap is often dozens or hundreds of times.

  The Yuanyang Sect has more than 20,000 disciples in the Qi refining period, and the foundation-building cultivators only have more than 400 on the surface.

   On average, only one of the 100 qi-refining cultivators is in the advanced foundation-building stage.

In the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is even more difficult to advance to the Jindan Stage. Not one of the 100 Foundation Establishment cultivators is necessarily advanced. More than 30 people, it can be said that there are too many monks and too little porridge.

   And not all Jindan elders are willing to accept apprentices, only a few dozen people can be fortunate enough to worship under Jindan cultivator.

  Some Jindan cultivators are devoted to the pursuit of the Dao, and they don’t pay attention to the matter of accepting disciples.

   And Jindan cultivator is unwilling to do things, and the sect cannot force it, but it will undoubtedly be detrimental to the inheritance of the sect in the long run, and this incident finally alarmed the ancestors of Yuan Ying in the sect.

   Ancestor Nascent Soul came forward to solve the problem in the end, and stipulated that each Jindan elder should accept at least three disciples.

   Since then, Yuanyangzong has held an apprenticeship ceremony every 40 years, which has lasted for thousands of years.

  Liu Yu entered the Yuanyang Courtyard at the age of seven, and naturally heard about the ceremony of accepting disciples.

   When he first established the foundation, he had thought about becoming a registered disciple of a certain Jindan elder through the ceremony of accepting disciples, and being attached to the elder's name was regarded as finding a backer for himself in the door.

   But there are only a small number of people who can be accepted as disciples by Jindan cultivators, either with excellent Linggen talent or with other specialties.

  Liu Yu asked himself that his spiritual roots were very common, and there was nothing he could do except the technique of alchemy, and he didn't want to show all his alchemy skills, so the probability of being favored by the elders was very small.

   He was busy with a lot of work, and in the end it was very likely that the bamboo basket was empty. He thought about it, and finally gave up the idea.

   But listening to Yan Hongyu at this time, could it be that this woman wants to help me introduce a master, or simply worship at the door of Elder Yan?

  Liu Yu guessed, and after thinking about it, she still didn't beat around the bush, and said sternly:

   "Of course I have thought about worshipping under a certain elder, and I would like to avoid some detours."

   "But unfortunately, Linggen's talent is ordinary, so he had to give up this idea in the end."

   "Senior sister said that because she wanted to help me introduce someone."

   He looked at the senior sister dressed as a Taoist nun and asked in an uncertain tone.

   Yan Hongyu smiled faintly when he heard the words, and did not continue to sell off, and said directly:

   "Although my younger brother's spiritual roots are a bit ordinary, in other respects, he is no worse than other sects, or even better."

   "If the younger brother is interested, I can introduce a Jindan elder who is close to the Yan family."

   "Junior and brother only need to attend the apprenticeship ceremony. As for success or failure, it depends on your performance at that time."

   There are pros and cons to apprenticeship, but for the current Liu Yu, the pros outweigh the cons.

   He has the Immortal Mansion in his hands, so he definitely doesn’t want to be a direct disciple of a certain Jindan elder, but he can’t be a direct disciple, so being a named disciple is a very good choice.

   Even if the master only occasionally points out a sentence or two, it doesn't matter that he will not give much help. Liu Yu can also rely on the identity of the elder's named disciple to "fake the tiger's power".

   With the title of "Elder and Disciple", it is much more convenient to do things in the door.

   Not to mention, at least for tasks like supporting the front line, it would be difficult for him to get his turn.

   "This, how can Liu Mou, how can he be able to get such help from Senior Sister Hongyu?"

   Liu Yu was startled and couldn't help standing up, not understanding why Yan Hongyu helped him so much.

   If you only want to help Yan Qi'er, then when you help him arrange the task of Hanyue City, the favor should have been paid off?

   It is about Elder Jindan, and this kind of favor is not small.

   He really couldn't think of a reason for Yan Hongyu to help him. For a while, Liu Yu's heart was full of alarm, and he was tense and ready to attack at any time.

   Could this woman have discovered some of her secrets?

   "Junior Brother Liu doesn't have to be suspicious, Senior Sister has no malicious intentions."

   "This is just the icing on the cake for me to be optimistic about the future of my junior and junior brothers."

   "Junior and brother can be seen as an early investment. If you become a Jindan real person in the future, don't forget your sister's help today."

   Yan Hongyu said calmly and calmly, with a slightly playful tone, but she did not expect Liu Yu's reaction to be so intense.

   But I didn't think much about it at this time.

   In fact, in order to ensure the longevity of the family in the sect, many families are willing to make friends and invest in talented disciples in the sect, and maintain a good relationship with them.

   When he grows up, he will receive rich rewards to enhance the influence of the family, and sometimes even through marriage and other means, attract and absorb such talented but no background disciples, providing fresh blood for his family.

  Liu Yu just thought that this woman had peeped out some of her own secrets. At this time, when she heard this and thought about it, she understood the cause and effect, and she suddenly felt relieved and sat down again.

   "There are still several small realms from the bottom of the Jindan bottleneck, how dare you talk big."

   "But Senior Sister Hongyu's help today will definitely be remembered in my heart and will never be forgotten."

   Liu Yu said seriously to Yan Hongyu.

   If you are really kind, you will naturally be rewarded in the future.

If he rejects this woman's good intentions, it will undoubtedly signal his unwillingness to get close to the Yan family. Then his relationship with the Yan family will be terminated. From then on, he can only return to the state of "fighting alone" in Wangyue City and Zongmen. .

If you accept this woman's good intentions, not only will the relationship with the Yan family be closer, but maybe there will be an additional "Master" as a backer. From then on, it can be considered that Yuanyang Sect really has a certain foundation, not without Rely on the helpless.

   Thinking like this, Liu Yu has already made a decision in her heart.

   He thought of the confusing situation in the immortal world of Chu State, and asked uncertainly:

   "Now that the war in the immortal world is still going on, can this apprenticeship ceremony be held as scheduled? I'm afraid Liu will not be able to get out of his body at that time."

   After all, this is not a transaction with a clear price tag. Both parties do not need to sign and pledge, just tacit understanding of each other.

   Seeing that his goal was achieved, Yan Hongyu smiled slightly, feeling quite satisfied, and seeing Liu Yu even more pleasing to the eye.

   She picked up the teapot and filled the bottomed teacups before they said:

   "Brother Liu, rest assured, this apprenticeship ceremony will definitely be held, but it may be postponed due to the war in the world of immortals."

   "You don't have to worry even if you don't delay. Junior and brother can also take leave and return to the sect to attend the ceremony."

   "Junior and brother don't have to worry about Moon Moon City, our Yan family still has a certain influence here."

   Yan Hongyu's tone was affirmative, obviously very confident in his family's influence in Wangyue City.

   Liu Yu's face didn't change, she nodded lightly to show her understanding, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

   Next, the two talked about the details of the apprenticeship ceremony. The tea cup was empty and full, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

   Liu Yu took advantage of the situation to ask some questions about her cultivation, all of which were about the foundation-building stage. Yan Hongyu was not stingy. With her cultivation in the later stage of foundation-building, most of them could be answered.

  The time gradually passed, and before you knew it, the red sun had disappeared on the horizon, and the sky was completely dark, until a silver moon hung in the sky, spreading its silver light all over the earth.

   "Senior Sister Hongyu, let's talk about it this time. There are still some important things to go back to deal with, so I will say goodbye."

   "Next time, the younger brother will come to visit!"

  Liu Yu glanced at the dim sky outside the window, and felt that it was almost time, so she said goodbye.

   The etiquette of this world is relatively conservative as a whole. Although there are not so many cultivators among monks, it is inappropriate to be alone in the same room for too long.

   "Junior Brother Liu, what I said before was serious. You can have more contact with the skirt."

   Before leaving, Yan Hongyu said calmly, with a serious face.

"let it go."

   Liu Yu shook his head gently, then turned and left Yan Hongyu's cave.

   As for the name of the Jindan elder, Yan Hongyu did not mention it, nor did he say for sure that it would happen, and Liu Yu tacitly did not ask.

   After walking out of this classical and exquisite courtyard, he did not go back directly to the cave, but turned a corner and walked towards Duobao Pavilion in the East City.

   intends to deal with the low-level cultivation resources from the Huang family. These cultivation resources only have some effect on the Qi refining period, and they have no effect on him today, and can only be exchanged for spirit stones.

   When he came to the Duobao Pavilion, Liu Yu took out the silver Duobao Token, and in the surprised eyes of others, he was immediately invited by the shop clerk to sit in the private room upstairs.

  This silver Duobao order can only be issued by the head of the large branch of Duobao Pavilion. He is a distinguished guest of Duobao Pavilion. Of course, the second shopkeeper did not dare to be slighted.

   Not long after, a familiar figure appeared in front of Liu Yu's eyes. It was Mr. Jia, whom he had not seen for a long time.

   After the two were polite, Liu Yu didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed him two low-level storage bags, which contained all the low-level cultivation resources obtained from the Huang family.

  This batch of low-level immortal cultivation resources was originally worth 2,200 spirit stones, and the resources of 500 spirit stones were allocated to Xie Junjie, and now they are still worth about 1,700 spirit stones.

   "One thousand seven hundred and thirty spirit stones, what do you think, Fellow Daoist Liu."

   "Fellow Daoist Duobao Pavilion's Silver Duobao Order, our Duobao Pavilion has made very little profit. This price is definitely the highest price in the market, and there is no other store that is higher than us."

   Director Jia quickly estimated the value of these immortal cultivation resources and quoted a price.

  Although the transaction volume this time was only one or two thousand spirit stones, he did not underestimate Liu Yu because of this.

   For the transactions between the foundation-building cultivators, one or two thousand spirit stones are the norm. If Liu Yu took out tens of thousands of spirit stones at every turn, it would be abnormal.

   If that's the case, Mr. Jia can't guarantee that he will have any bad thoughts.

   The price of 1,700 spirit stones was similar to Liu Yu's estimate, so he didn't bother to bargain.

  The two sides handed over the Lingshi to the goods. After the Lingshi was acquired, Liu Yu did not stay for long, nor did he have any interest in chatting, and left the Duobao Pavilion.

   He now has no shortage of medicinal pills and magical instruments, and the consumption of spiritual talismans is not large, and there is nothing to buy, so he has no idea of ​​​​going around the East Market.

   After half an hour, Liu Yu looked at the familiar courtyard in front of him, took out the token from the storage bag, and opened an invisible passage.

   After he entered, the invisible passage quickly disappeared.

   Liu Yu walked directly to the bedroom, before taking off his shirt, he fell on the wooden bed and lay on his back, closing his eyes and dozing off.

   Although this mission is only a few days, I have experienced a lot of things, one after another, even with the energy of the foundation-building cultivator, it feels like a lot of consumption.

   Liu Yu's whole body relaxed, lying on the bed with his eyes closed and resting for half an hour before reopening his eyes.

   Then take out a futon and sit cross-legged on the wooden bed.

   His mind moved, his mind "touched" the green light spot, his eyes were silently closed, and the prototype of the primordial spirit had entered the immortal mansion.

   When Liu Yu opened her eyes again, there were more than ten storage bags in her arms.
