The Immortal Welcome Meeting later directly turned into a ceremony for the old Taoist priests to accept disciples.
This is something that no one expected.
It can only be said that for Jiang Mingwu to be the King of Ji, this ability to climb up the ladder is a must.
Taoist Mo Shang was initially planning to take Jiang Sibai back to the mountain before accepting a disciple, but now that Jiang Mingwu was so enthusiastic, he could only half-assume and half-agree.
Anyway, Jiang Sibai is also a disciple that he is very optimistic about. In his heart, compared to the little baby girl who has the title of master and apprentice but whose future character is uncertain, Jiang Sibai is more reliable.
Just like that, Jiang Sibai officially became a disciple of Taoist Mo Shang, and could call Taoist Mo Shang his master in a dignified manner.
It can also be seen from this that Taoist Mo Shang should also have a good status in Luo Yun Fairyland: he can directly decide to accept disciples without having to go back to the mountain to report or anything. Coupled with his appearance and age, he is in Luo Yun Fairyland.
The seniority among them should not be low.
Jiang Sibai was manipulated by the etiquette officer like a marionette for a long time, and at the same time, he met Jiang Mingwu's kind eyes for the first time.
Perhaps for Jiang Mingwu, Jiang Sibai's ability to join the Immortal Sect was the beginning of his opportunity to gain immortality as King Ji.
Jiang Sibai laughed awkwardly throughout the whole process, feeling extremely uncomfortable, especially after sensing his father's thoughts, he felt even more embarrassed.
To be honest, his original desire to seek the Tao was very pure, but now King Ji wanted to force something else on him.
The Immortal Welcome Party or the Apprenticeship Ceremony ends at noon.
Taoist Mo Shang looked at Jiang Sibai meaningfully, and then returned to the side hall alone. No one would say anything about his choice.
But Jiang Sibai was different. Behind him were the whispers, jealousy or gloating looks of his brothers and sisters.
And in front of him was King Ji.
"Xiao Bai, come with me. I have something to ask you."
Jiang Sibai followed King Ji to another side hall. He stood quietly in front of King Ji, waiting for his father to speak.
"Xiao Bai, do you know that I have been waiting for you to come this morning, because I feel that you and I are the only ones in this royal family who have not given up hope."
Jiang Mingwu spoke earnestly and sincerely about some of his wishes.
Jiang Sibai felt extremely stressed when he heard this.
He suddenly understood why the previous immortal masters from all peaks and valleys no longer looked at the royal family's children, because once they chose the royal family's children, it would mean a huge trouble!
On one side is the master who has given me the grace to preach and on the other side is the father who places his hope on you. How should you choose?
For selfish people, it may be very simple. When you are in Ji Kingdom, you can just continue to deal with it and please King Ji. Once you enter the immortal sect, you can stop talking to him.
But for Jiang Sibai, whether it was cutting off contact with Jiang Mingwu for the sake of his mentor's purity, or leaking his master's secrets for Jiang Mingwu's sake, it was a spiritual burden.
So he was worried.
"Why, being a father has brought you a lot of pressure?"
Jiang Mingwu couldn't see what he was thinking, so he asked calmly.
Jiang Sibai took a deep breath. He didn't want to let these worries overwhelm him, so he said frankly: "Yes, father, my mentor treats me like a new child. I can't do anything to embarrass him."
Jiang Mingwu fell silent, a heart-wrenching silence.
The air between the two seemed to be stagnant.
But Jiang Sibai relaxed after saying these words.
Because he had no feelings for Jiang Mingwu and never asked for anything extravagantly.
Therefore, Jiang Sibai's calm attitude was actually living up to Jiang Mingwu.
And the coercive aura of an emperor on the opponent's body was like a breeze blowing on his face.
Jiang Sibai even felt vaguely detached, as if he was watching this scene from a third-party perspective, and felt very calm.
After a moment, Jiang Mingwu sighed and said, "Actually, I know that I have neglected to care about you all these years. It's already commendable that you can still treat me sincerely."
"It's just that we're just waiting for the final battle between father and son. Do you have the heart to let me die without knowing why?"
Later on, I no longer even called myself a loner anymore, but used 'I' instead.
This probably showed that Jiang Sibai was really stubborn without desires, so King Ji changed his approach and started talking about feelings.
Even if Jiang Sibai was embarrassed by this, he could only bite the bullet and ask: "Then what do you want to know?"
Jiang Mingwu looked at him and said, "Tell me, as a king, can't I practice Taoism and become an immortal?"
Jiang Sibai was stunned for a moment, then said: "As far as I know, everyone can practice, but not everyone can succeed in it."
Jiang Mingwu asked: "So Xiaobai, have you started?"
Jiang Sibai nodded and said, "My mentor has seen it and said that I have already started."
Jiang Mingwu asked in surprise: "Can you tell me... how to get started?"
Jiang Sibai had expected this question a long time ago, and then said frankly: "Father, do you still remember the Immortal Master of Yuandao Peak twelve years ago?"
Jiang Mingwu nodded: "Of course I remember."
Jiang Sibai said: "The 'health-preserving technique' he left behind is actually called "The Method of Keeping the Middle and Strengthening the Yuan". I have been practicing it for ten years according to what is recorded above, and then I achieved some success with a little guidance from my teacher."
Jiang Mingwu was stunned. He looked at his child carefully and realized that Jiang Sibai's skin was crystal clear and rosy, and his complexion was excellent. Coupled with his delicate appearance and gentle temperament, he was a handsome young man as gentle as jade.
Only then did he realize that Jiang Sibai had surpassed all his descendants in terms of appearance.
The feeling of being full of energy and energy is even more outstanding.
He asked in disbelief: "Xiaobai, don't tell me that you don't know what it's like to be a woman when you grow up?"
Jiang Sibai wanted to roll his eyes at that time.
After two lifetimes, how could he pursue such a small thing?
If you want to find a girl, you must also practice the "Huangdi Neijing"... The premise is that there is such a way in this world.
So he said honestly and courteously: "Go back to my father, I am not a womanizer."
Jiang Mingwu nodded in understanding and looked at Jiang Sibai with admiration.
This era is so boring, and the nobles don't have to worry about their livelihood, so what other entertainment activities do they have?
If you can't play such elegant things as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, then you can only...
Therefore, Jiang Sibai's method of keeping one's body as pure as jade was considered a wolf among the royal nobles, and he was praised by Jiang Mingwu so easily.
King Ji seemed to not care much about spiritual practice all of a sudden. He asked one more question: "Does it mean that in order to practice spiritual practice, one must deny self-restraint?"
Jiang Sibai replied: "What my teacher said about this question is that you need to exercise restraint when refining the Qi at the beginning. Once the Qi training is successful, the essence will be consolidated and not leaked, and then there will be no problem."
Jiang Mingwu asked reluctantly: "Then there is no shortcut?"
Jiang Sibai said: "Father, think about it, if there was really a safe and reliable shortcut, those immortal masters would have used it themselves."
Jiang Mingwu felt it made sense as soon as he heard it. Nothing in the world could be so cheap.
He sighed and said: "Now we know that human beings and immortals have different paths."
Jiang Sibai blinked, so his father gave up because of abstinence?
In fact, this may be another factor why Luo Yun Fairyland is disdainful of the royal family and nobles, that is, it is difficult for these people to restrain their desires.
To put it simply, there are too many temptations and poor self-control.
"Father, there is no need to be too disappointed. The Immortal Path to Immortality is an illusory thing. Even my mentor once said frankly that he felt there was no hope of becoming an immortal."
"Wouldn't it be better to wait until my son has accomplished his studies and refine some life-prolonging elixirs for his father to take care of his body?"
Jiang Mingwu nodded and said with a smile: "It's enough for you to have this kind of filial piety."
