Immortality begins with sect servants

Li An's residence is not big, a simple small house, but it is clean.

Especially three of the rooms are study rooms!

It is filled with books bought by Ang Lee from various sources.

Astronomy and geography, snakes, insects, birds and beasts, elixirs and talismans... everything is available.

Moreover, although these books are all clean, they also look a bit shabby, and they have obviously been carefully read.

Song Mingzhang picked up one or two books and looked through them carefully. He saw that Li Anjun had taken notes and sketched the key points in the book.

In fact, these miscellaneous books are not important to practitioners. Their most important function is to increase their knowledge!

But from Li An's notes, Song Mingzhang can imagine that when Li An was reading at his desk, his heart must have been truly immersed in the book, trickling slowly and never letting go!

He put down the book in his hand and picked it up randomly somewhere else.

But every book is the same!

Full of comments and notes.

"They are all shallow books. Zuo Wen's knowledge is so shallow that it makes Master Song laugh..."

Li An spoke.

But in his heart, he was like a student who did his homework very solidly. When faced with the teacher's inspection, he naturally didn't panic at all.

In the past five years, while he has devoted himself to cultivation, he has indeed taken reading as his main occupation!

Li An had reached the realm of alchemy in his previous life and had seen higher-level scenery. It can be said that his knowledge is far beyond ordinary people. Therefore, he can naturally read deeply and read different things.

Moreover, since his spiritual platform was connected to the branches of his destiny, he had the ability to have a photographic memory.

This is exactly why five years ago, he was able to read "Essential Techniques of Alchemy" and "Secrets of Knowledge of Grass" in three days.

"My little friend is profound in reading, which makes me admire you!"

Song Mingzhang spoke, but even though he liked Li An more and more, he still smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Zuo, in this "Array Theory", your annotation: 'The formation is not its main point, the Dharma is its outline' is really puzzling to me..."

Take the exam!

Li An said without thinking: "This should be the discussion on page 27. In fact, there is an explanation on page 35..."

Song Mingzhang was surprised and turned to page thirty-five. It was indeed what Li An said.

He couldn't help but nodded, completely relieved.

Li An is a person who really loves books and can read!

Moreover, the other party knows how to be grateful!

I only borrowed the book for three days, but I can remember it in my heart. Even if four or five years have passed, I have never forgotten it.

This kind of gratitude is so rare in this cunning and deceitful world of immortality.

The thought in his mind became stronger and stronger, but he deliberately said: "Fellow Daoist Zuo is really a book lover, but these books... are a bit unworthy of Daoist Zuo's talent and learning."

"It's all too shallow!"

He criticized without hesitation: "Most of the contents of these books are just general discussions. If you want to learn more advanced knowledge, you cannot rely on these books."

Li An also looked greatly moved and felt heartbroken: "What the senior said is absolutely true!"

"This is exactly what Zuo Wen has suffered in the past few years. Every time the books circulated on the market are erroneous and incomplete, the younger generation will suffer the consequences..."

Song Mingzhang smiled slightly and stroked his beard. Zuo Wen was such a book lover, it was too easy for him to handle Zuo Wen. He continued: "In the old man's library, there are three thousand books, all of which are high-quality. Even though "Knowing Herbs" and "Essences of Alchemy" are just ordinary books..."

Li Anxin yearned for it and said: "Master Song...is Zuo so lucky as to be able to enter the temple to have a look?"

Cai Chao, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but said: "That study is Master Song's heart and soul... His whole life has been devoted to it. If you want to study, fellow Taoist Zuo should be treated as a disciple!"

There is also a smile in his eyes, this is deliberately mentioning Li An!

Cai Chao has already seen Song Mingzhang's love for Li An.

Now he would like to mention Li An. If Li An can successfully become a disciple of Song Mingzhang, then he will have a good relationship in the future.

Song Mingzhang's original intention was exactly this. When Cai Chao said it, he was quite happy. It was best to let Cai Chao say it from the side.

But when he thought about it again, he felt it was inappropriate!

Li An... is too indifferent!

In the past five years, the other party had only had a side contact with him once, but never took the initiative to meet him. Song Mingzhang understood immediately that this was actually the pride and etiquette of a scholar.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between gentlemen should also be equal.

It can be seen that although Li An lives in a humble house, he does not want to be affected by his secular status in addition to his studies.

Thinking of this, he felt that he should treat Li An slowly and not in a hurry, so he said: "I have to meet little friend Zuo today, as if I were a close friend, regardless of these false courtesy, just come with me -"

If it were someone else, the courtesy of a disciple would be inevitable.

Etiquette, to put it bluntly, is actually a constraint.

But he felt that there was no need to impose such restrictions on Li An, because Li An was grateful and not an ungrateful person.

Cai Chao was immediately surprised. Song Mingzhang's implication was that he was obviously treating Li An as a peer.

It is already rare to be favored by Song Mingzhang, and to receive such an honor... Li An is really the first person.

Li An couldn't help but be extremely grateful, "Senior is so kind to me... I will never forget it!"

In fact, if it is really necessary, he can accept the gift of being a disciple and will take the initiative to do it.

Although he was once a master of pill formation, Li An has long given up that insignificant dignity and will not be proud of his former identity.

Because it's useless!

For Li An, those things are also nothing. Only the path to immortality and continuous improvement are the most important.

Of course, Ang Lee is quite satisfied with being treated like this now.

His five years of accumulation and waiting were finally not wasted.

Immediately, Li An got on Song Mingzhang's carriage and headed towards Song Mingzhang's residence.

Cai Chao stood at the street corner and watched the two of them off.

"From today on, this unknown scholar on Anle Street will probably rise to prominence..."

He couldn't help but sigh.

…

Song Mingzhang lived in "Taihua Street".

Taihua Street is right next to "Wuyang Street", but it is a "third-level" spiritual vein area.

However, the spiritual veins here are also relatively weak.

He owns a single-family courtyard. According to Li An's understanding, this single-family courtyard is extremely expensive.

It is the private property of Zhenbao Pavilion. Even if you are a treasure appraiser, you need to work in the pavilion for more than ten years before you can get it. Moreover, once you leave Zhenbao Pavilion, this small courtyard will be taken back.

Song Mingzhang worked for Zhenbao Pavilion all his life, and his life span was nearly 300 years old. He didn't have much time to live, so he didn't worry about this problem.

The two of them talked all the way, almost all about books, and the more they talked, the happier they became.

Get off the carriage and enter the small courtyard.

The servant boy opened the door, and Song Mingzhang led Li An in. When he entered the living room, a maid came up with tea.

"Where's An Ning? Let her come out to meet the guests."

Song Mingzhang waved his hand and the maid left immediately.

Not long after, a girl Shi Shiran in a green skirt came over. She had a graceful figure and a graceful figure, but she wore a veil, covering half of her face.

But despite this, the remaining half of the face still has many pitted and festering marks!

"An Ning, this is Mr. Zuo Wen who saved you from suffering,"

Song Mingzhang spoke.

Song Anning saluted Li An and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zuo, for saving your life!"

Li An hurriedly said: "Miss An Ning, please get up, no need to be polite!"

After seeing the ceremony, Song Anning left immediately without staying any longer.

"Come on, little friend, I'll show you around my study."

Song Mingzhang spoke directly, and the two of them immediately entered the study.

The study is far more spacious and brighter than Li An's simple study rooms. There are some famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. The study is carefully taken care of by maids, so the gentle smell of sandalwood makes people's hearts calm down instantly. .

Li An stood there with envy in his eyes.

"My little friend, if you don't mind it, how about staying in a humble house?"

Song Mingzhang spoke at the right time and said leisurely: "Study hard here for three to five years, and by then my little friend will definitely gain more!"

Li An hesitated for a moment, but finally bowed and said, "How lucky is Zuo Wen to have such great love from my seniors!"

"Respectfully, why not obey!"

He agreed.
