Chapter 9: Dont mention being a teacher to anyone
"Um."
Li Xuan nodded and felt that it was necessary to give his apprentice a beating. How could he forget to cook?
Its not okay to think only about cultivation.
You must combine work and rest, and you must not overdo your cultivation, do you understand?
Li Xuan said with a serious face.
Hearing this, Xu Yan had a look of shame on his face, "Yes, Master, this disciple must keep it in mind!"
I was very moved in my heart: "Master is afraid of me, so he blindly holds on to death, which will cause harm to his body. That's right, although the key is persistence, it must also be done step by step. I have just started bone refining. If I hold on to death, I am afraid that problems may easily occur! "
You have to understand that perseverance is also important. Relax, work and rest, and relax your mind appropriately so that you can practice more efficiently and gain insights!
Li Xuandun taught.
Disciple understands and will never make this mistake again!
Xu Yan said respectfully.
Sure enough, if you hold on blindly, problems will easily arise. You must relax your mind appropriately, otherwise it will be like a string that is stretched too tight or for too long and will break easily!
Xu Yan suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart.
Go!
Li Xuan waved his hand and asked Xu Yan to cook.
"This disciple, I would like to listen to the instructions, but unfortunately I am not a real expert, and the cultivation method is also made up, so persistence is useless!"
I sighed again in my heart, but since I have been deceived, I can only continue to deceive.
After Xu Yan started bone refining, whenever Qi and blood penetrated further into the bones, and when he started to temper the bones, he would feel the sand rubbing against the bones.
However, Xu Yan did not continue to hold on. As soon as he could no longer hold on, he would stop and do other things to relax his mind.
Five days later.
Xu Yan, who was practicing, felt a jolt of qi and blood, and the bones all over his body vibrated. When the qi and blood seeped into the bones, he felt a smooth feeling.
The whole person felt a sense of becoming stronger, and his energy and blood also improved accordingly.
I finally got started with bone refining.
Xu Yan was extremely excited. He practiced hard for five days and finally completed the first stage of bone refining.
The subsequent bone refining will be much smoother, and there will be no painful sensations like ants biting or sand rubbing.
Only in the initial stage of refining bones into bronze will the painful feeling reappear.
I am now in the introductory stage of refining bones into iron, but now that I have started, it will be easier for the next tempering until bones are transformed into bronze.
Xu Yan was very excited. As long as he no longer felt painful and unbearable during training, he would be able to persist longer and spend more time in training.
Its been almost a month since I came out. Now Ive just started bone refining. Im so strong that Im not afraid of being attacked by hundreds of people with my bare hands.
Its time to go back. The apprenticeship ceremony I gave to the master turned out to be used for my practice. I should also buy some rare medicinal materials and prepare another apprenticeship ceremony for the master.
Xu Yan felt that although the master did not care about his apprenticeship ceremony, as a disciple, how could he ignore the ceremony of respecting his master?
With my masters level, I will never take rare treasures seriously. After all, treasures in the eyes of ordinary people are just ordinary things. What ceremony should I prepare for becoming a master?
Xu Yan fell into deep thought.
Suddenly he slapped his head: "Why am I so stupid? Master doesn't care about rare treasures at all. I just need to bring my heart to it. Playthings like gold and jade can be used to decorate Master's house. Master should like it."
After thinking about it, Xu Yan felt relaxed.
Go outside and catch a hare, go catch a fish in the stream, and cook a hearty meal for Master before leaving.
Xu Yan finished his work and left the village to prepare ingredients.
Looking at the sumptuous dining table, Li Xuan looked satisfied, this apprentice is good!
The food is becoming more and more delicious, and there are more dishes.
Master, its been nearly a month since I came out, and I want to go home.
After dinner, Xu Yan spoke.
Li Xuan's heart skipped a beat: "After this kid went back, when he talked about his apprenticeship, wouldn't I have been exposed? He is not very smart, but his parents and family are not all smart, right?"
But if Xu Yan is not allowed to go home, it is unjustifiable, and it will arouse Xu Yan's suspicion.
After pondering for a while, Li Xuan said: "It's okay to go back, but I want to tell you as a teacher that you must not disclose your cultivation to anyone, including your parents, before you start. Do you understand?"
Yes, Master, this disciple will never mention anything related to cultivation to others!
Xu Yan was startled and immediately solemnly promised.
As a teacher, I like to be quiet, keep a low profile, and dont like publicity. Although I have accepted you as my disciple, I cant mention being a teacher before I get started. I hope you can understand!
Li Xuan looked serious.
Yes, Master, the disciple will never mention you at all before he enters the door!
Xu Yan assured respectfully.
"If I haven't started, it means I have no connection with Master. Master made an exception and accepted me as a disciple. If I can't get started, it will ruin Master's reputation. As a disciple, I should protect Master's reputation first!"
Xu Yan felt a little ashamed, as his talent was still a bit lacking.
If you are unable to get started and your master's prestige is ruined, wouldn't it mean that your master will be laughed at by others?
As a disciple, you should take the masters honor, disgrace, and reputation as your top priority!
Li Xuan originally wanted to avoid being exposed in advance and being seen through, so he told Xu Yan not to mention himself, let alone anything about cultivation.
Unknown to him, Xu Yan did some brainstorming on his own.
"Of course I trust you as a teacher. You should go back early and pay attention to safety on the road."
Li Xuan's face softened and he reminded: "You need to pass through the Thirty Miles of Evil Forest to get there. There are tigers and ferocious beasts in it. You should pay more attention to avoid getting hurt."
Evil Forest is too dangerous. If Xu Yan were to encounter a fierce tiger, he might not be able to survive.
Li Xuan could only remind him that whether he could cross safely or not depends entirely on Xu Yan's luck.
Yes, Master!
Xu Yan knelt down with a pop, kowtowed three times respectfully, and said: "Master, this disciple will definitely come back to serve you in six or seven days, or in eleven or two days in the long term!"
Im determined!
Seeing Xu Yan be so respectful, respectful of teachers, and full of filial piety, Li Xuan was also a little moved.
How can I get some feelings out of all this lying and lying? Alas, as expected, I am not a qualified liar. This was all forced upon me!
Li Xuan felt helpless.
He really didn't want to lie to others. It was all because Xu Yan was not smart and insisted on being deceived in a hurry. Moreover, the apprenticeship ceremony he gave him was too much!
Xu Yan left.
Li Xuan stood on the hillside at the entrance of the village, looking at Xu Yan's retreating figure with a complicated expression.
I hope he can pass through the evil forest safely, this silly boy...alas!
Sighed, until Xu Yan disappeared from sight, Li Xuan returned to his residence.
Lying on the chair under the big tree, I suddenly felt a little...lonely!
"grass!"
Im used to having apprentices to take care of me, but suddenly Im alone again. I feel uncomfortable no matter what!
Li Xuan slapped his face and couldn't help but swear.
