Kunlun's acceptance of disciples depends on fate, which I really don't know.
According to Pei Chuan, ordinary disciples in Kunlun do not have such "special treatment".
Ordinary disciples who join the master's sect and learn only scratch the surface, can only reach the realm of Huang Lingshi if they die.
Those who are smart and have high understanding may have a chance to become an earth spirit master.
Just like this, there may not be even one among ten thousand ordinary disciples.
As for the Xuan Spirit Master and Heaven Spirit Master above the Earth Spirit Master, only direct disciples have the chance to be promoted.
This is inseparable from the master's careful teachings through words and deeds.
I originally wanted to ask Pei Chuan if Lingxi and I were destined to be masters?
But if I think about it carefully, if there was really a fate, Lingxi would have accepted me as an official disciple long ago, so why bother pretending to be a master and a disciple?
Pei Chuan and I were chatting, and Lingxi came out to get some water. When she saw us sitting on the sofa talking nonsense, she said to Pei Chuan, "Go to bed early. You need to keep an eye on us at the headquarters these two days."
"Okay, I'm going to bed now." Pei Chuan responded and went upstairs.
I sat on the sofa and hesitated for a moment, then stood up and took out the bank card Guo Fenglai gave me, put it on the coffee table and said, "Master, there are 20 million in the card. Grandpa Guo gave it to me before."
"My sister said you didn't ask for the cost of my living here and the cost of treating evil spirits."
"I...I can't eat and drink here for free with your money."
I didn't dare to look directly into Lingxi's eyes, so I said bravely, "Maybe it's not enough. If there's anything missing, I'll replenish it for you later."
Lingxi didn't respond for a long time, and I felt uneasy, fearing that my fussy behavior would offend Lingxi.
After all, she didn't even confiscate Su Tongyuan's money, so how could she accept a poor boy like me?
But I have to do this.
The more I owe Lingxi, the more grateful I am to her, and the more dependent I am on her.
Lingxi takes care of me as his younger brother.
I can't be treacherous and have thoughts about her.
I must nip this illusion in the cradle.
I lowered my head and looked at my feet nervously.
Randomly guessing at Lingxi's mood at the moment.
Just when I thought Lingxi would get angry at me, she replied crisply: "Okay, let me do the math."
"I went to Taoshan Village to rescue you. Su Tongyuan gave me what I wanted. You don't have to pay for it."
"After you come to Zhongzhou, you will live with me. Utility bills, food expenses, travel expenses, well, all these messy things together will cost you 100,000 yuan a month."
"The news that I spent one million to buy a purple gold rooster comb indirectly saved the midwife Liu Lanfang and helped you accumulate a great merit."
"You also know the price that others ask me to pay, which starts at three million."
"You are Tong Yuan's younger brother. Our friendly price is no more than three million, no less, no problem."
Lingxi looked at me with a bright smile and said: "That time in heaven and earth, well, I'll count you 10 million. After all, I almost died trying to save you. You know this, and I didn't ask for an exorbitant price."
Lingxi clasped his fingers and said, "I won't charge you for the Eight-Character Physiognomy Sutra. I gave it to you myself. I treat it as a meeting gift for happy cooperation."
"You have been here for more than a month, and the evil spirit in your body appears every three days. I have helped you suppress it a total of eleven times."
"Of course, I didn't include the time when Master Jingyue helped you suppress it."
"There are still discounts for shopping in the supermarket. I will also give you a discount. Count it ten times."
Lingxi tilted his head and calculated: "One shot of three million, ten times will be 30 million."
"All added up, well, 43.1 million."
"This does not include the cost of suppressing evil spirits in the later stage, and the cost of purchasing bodhicitta and seedless sunflowers."
"By the way, you have a heart-eating Gu worm in your body. I asked Pei Chuan to use a thousand disciples to help you find out the news today. How do you calculate the labor cost?"
Lingxi came to me with a cup of water and said, "No matter how worthless the Kunlun disciples are, they still have to pay 10,000 yuan for running errands, right?"
"One thousand multiplied by ten thousand, yeah, it's ten million again."
