In this way, Luo Dong took on the arduous task of teaching Tong Yan.
Tong Yan's foundation was basically zero, so Luo Dong had no choice but to take a large number of basic cultivation jade notes from the library to her, and told her his cultivation experience during his Qi training period.
Compared with Luo Dong's intentions, Shang Xun is obviously a hands-off shopkeeper. Except for summoning Tong Yan every few days to inquire about the progress, he spends most of his time in seclusion.
"Senior Brother Luo, I think being your disciple is pretty good." Tong Yan said, looking at Luo Dong who took the trouble to answer his questions.
Tong Yan is already a disciple of Shang Xun. Although he is only in the Qi training stage, he can still call Luo Dong, who is in the foundation building stage, his senior brother.
"Why did Junior Sister Tong say this?" Luo Dong said.
"You see, you help me explain spells every day and prepare various systematic materials. With your careful guidance, I can progress so quickly. It's great to be your disciple." Tong Yan said.
Luo Dong smiled. If it wasn't for the Young Sect Master's orders, why would he care about this matter? He said, "I just follow the Young Sect Master's orders."
"After all, I have thanked senior brother for your guidance for half a month. Thank you very much, junior sister."
In the afternoon, while Tong Yan was practicing on his own, Luo Dong went to see Shang Xun.
Shang Xun asked: "How is her cultivation going now?"
"The progress in spells is slow, only the swordsmanship is amazing." Luo Dong said.
Shang Xun: "You should teach her more about spell formations. Don't worry about sword skills."
"yes."
"How are you preparing the map of Yanhui Secret Realm that I asked you to prepare?" Shang Xun asked.
"It's ready and can be given to Junior Sister Tong at any time." Luo Dong took out a storage bag and handed it over.
Shang Xun took it and looked at it. He couldn't help but think of what Tong Yan said about needing several life-saving magic weapons, so he ordered again, "Collect some jade notes from the secret trial realm for low-level monks and give them to her. Prepare another one for ordinary disciples."
Leave the necessary items for the secret realm to me when the time comes."
"Yes. But the young sect leader..." Luo Dong hesitated.
"The sect master is about to leave seclusion. Would he be angry if he knew that you had accepted a qi training disciple alone? Moreover, Junior Sister Tong is only a five-spirited person."
According to the sect leader's intention, Shang Xun wants to recruit a talented, highly qualified and intelligent foundation-building disciple in the sect's disciple election.
Ju Luodong understood that Tong Yan was just a disciple of the useless spirit root who was brought back by Lord Yan Jue on the way.
"Who said she has a useless spirit root?" Shang Xun smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I have my own sense of control as far as the sect master is concerned. You just need to discipline her well."
"Yes." Luo Dong finished speaking and was about to leave, when Shang Xun said again.
"By the way, let Tong Yan come to Luohua Hall to meet me in the afternoon."
…
"Tong Yan has met the master." Tong Yan saluted Shang Xun.
"Have you had any doubts about your cultivation recently?" Shang Xun asked as usual.
"There are no big questions at the moment. Senior Brother Luo is very responsible. If you don't understand, you can ask him." Tong Yan said.
Since there was no big problem, Shang Xun didn't ask too much, and said: "The sect leader will finish his retreat in a few days, and he may want to see you then. Please give me some credit."
"Sect master...why do you want to see me?" Tong Yan didn't expect the secret for a moment, why the top leader of the Demon Temple Sect wanted to see her.
Shang Xun glanced at her and said, "Dad, I want to meet the first disciple my son has taken. Is there any problem?"
Tong Yan quickly shook his head, "No problem, no problem."
At this time, Shang Xun threw two more things to her, "This is the map of Yanhui's secret realm. It records the places where the disciples of the Mosha Sect have walked in the secret realm over the years. Another jade note records the growth of heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
Take it back and memorize it yourself about the environment and location."
"Yes, master." Tong Yan put the things away and then asked, "Master, are you a sword cultivator or a law cultivator?"
"Of course I am a Dharma cultivator. Why can't I teach you as my teacher is a Dharma cultivator?" Shang Xun narrowed his eyes at her dangerously.
Master, are you really thinking this way? Tong Yan said quickly: "I definitely don't think so. I'm just worried that if I keep bothering Senior Brother Luo, it will delay his cultivation."
"Does this have anything to do with whether your master is a sword cultivator or a law cultivator? Or does it mean that Luo Dong didn't teach you well?" Shang Xun frowned. Luo Dong didn't act like a person who was willing to obey the law.
"No~" It's a bit awkward to admit that he is stupid. "It's just that I always bother him with some small problems, which seems a little bad. But fortunately, Senior Brother Luo has a good temper and never said anything to me." Tong Yan said happily.
.
"He is just an ordinary disciple, how dare he be disrespectful to my apprentice." Shang Xun said this, but in his heart he was surprised that what Tong Yan said was her true thoughts, rather than deliberately playing tricks in front of him.
Tong Yan did not answer. To Shang Xun, who was the young sect leader, Luo Dong was indeed a disciple who could not be any younger.
"What you said is also a question. You don't need to ask him about your cultivation in the future." Shang Xun thought about Tong Yan's cultivation situation for more than half a month and made a new decision.
Tong Yan was surprised. She just complained about it, but why did she complain about her junior instructor? "Then I will practice by myself in the future?"
"Don't you think it will delay Luo Dong's cultivation?" Shang Xun asked back.
ennn... Tong Yan thought about it for a while and replied, "I understand, master."
"If you don't understand, you can go to the first floor of the sect's library and read the jade papers." Shang Xun reminded her.
"Yes." Tong Yan responded.
After waiting for a while and not hearing Tong Yan say anything else, Shang Xun waved his hand impatiently and asked her to go down.
When he was the only one left in Luo Hua Hall, he cursed: "Idiot! There are ready-made masters who don't know how to ask for help."
…
A few days later, the sect leader came out of seclusion, other peak leaders went to the main peak to pay their respects, and the high-ranking monks in the sect gathered together.
The sect discussed the different aura around Xun's body and said with a smile: "Xun'er has improved a lot in his cultivation. I plan to go into seclusion and advance to Nascent Soul."
Shang Xundao: "After the Yanhui Secret Realm is opened. Father, I have recently found a suitable apprentice candidate. Do you want to meet him?"
The other peak masters in the hall were a little surprised when they heard that the young sect was recruiting disciples. Shang Xun had always had a very high vision, so who could catch his eye?
"Oh? You are talking about the qi training disciple waiting outside the hall." asked the sect leader.
"It's her, her name is Tong Yan."
While others were curious, Lord Yan Jue Zhen, who had left seclusion early, was confused as to why the disciple he brought back was involved with Shang Xun.
"Let her come in." The sect leader said.
As soon as Tong Yan stepped into the main hall, she was greeted by a room full of gods-forming coercion and curiosity. Even the secluded Lord Yan Jue was there. Such a big battle made her scalp numb.
Unable to retreat, I could only bite the bullet and walk to the center of the hall, "Disciple Tong Yan, pay my respects to the sect leader, master, and true kings."
Shang Xun walked up to Tong Yan and immediately took most of his eyes away, which greatly reduced Tong Yan's pressure.
He said to the sect leader above, "Father, she has the spiritual root of chaos, which is the same as mine. It is perfect for her to be my disciple."
The sect leader looked at Tong Yan and said nothing. He noticed that Zhenjun Dao Yanjue's expression seemed to be different, so he asked, "Yanjue, what do you think?"
Lord Yan Jue Zhen was called out and stood up. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Back to the sect leader, I brought this disciple back to the sect from outside a month ago, and she has a waste spirit root. I saw her unique swordsmanship so I brought her back to do it."
Named disciple."
At this time, Shang Xun also said, "Before, Peak Master Yan was in retreat, and I couldn't come to you to ask for someone. Now everyone is in the main hall. Let me tell you by the way, Tong Yan, this disciple's spiritual root is the same as mine.
I accept her as my disciple, Peak Master Yan has no problem with that."
Lord Yan Jue Zhen looked at Shang Xun and said, "I just brought back an ordinary disciple that day. The young sect leader took a liking to her. It was her blessing." She was just a useless spiritual root, and it was useless to keep her.
Shang Xun smiled and said, "Then I have to thank Peak Master Yan for this convenience."
The sect leader frowned slightly when he heard the words "waste spiritual root", but he believed in Shang Xun's vision and said, "Test her spiritual root."
While Tong Yan was measuring his spiritual roots, he counted how many times he had come here to measure them. Once at Lingjiu Peak and twice at Swamp Forest, this was already four times.
Shang Xun faced Tong Yan and happened to see her subtly depressed expression. He seemed to understand what she meant, which was a bit funny.
It’s just a matter of testing your spiritual roots a few more times, and you’re getting tired of it?
Displaying the gray crystal ball in front of everyone, he saw everyone's surprised expressions and Shang Xun's lips curled up in satisfaction, especially after seeing the shocked look on Lord Yan Jue's face.
How could his Shang Xun disciple be an ordinary person?
The sect leader was slightly surprised but did not show too much expression. Although there were few Chaos Spiritual Roots, it was not without them. Shang Xun originally had Chaos Spiritual Roots, so it was naturally the best choice to accept someone with Chaos Spiritual Roots as his disciple.
"Father, what do you think?" Shang Xun had already made up his mind, but still asked.
"Although she has shortcomings, she is your disciple after all. It's up to you." The sect leader knew that Shang Xun wanted to accept the disciple, and he couldn't change it even if he intervened. Besides, the Chaos Spiritual Root was really overbearing when it grew up.
It's just his first disciple. If it's useless, he can just recruit a few more.
Then, Tong Yan received a wave of valuable magic weapons from various peak masters, and then followed Shang Xun back to Luohua Palace.
Shang Xun stopped, turned around and stretched out his hand in front of Tong Yan, "Hand over everything."
Tong Yan took a half step back holding various magical weapons, and asked doubtfully: "Why, isn't this for me?"
"If you didn't become a teacher, you would have these things." Shang Xun glanced at her and said.
She understood the truth, but "Master...you should not be short of these gadgets, why don't you confiscate them." Tong Yan hesitantly took out a magic sword and handed it over slowly.
Shang Xun collected all the spells and glanced at her, "I don't need it, but my apprentice does. This is for my future apprentice."
Tong Yan looked confused, "Am I not your disciple?"
Shang Xun smiled lightly: "Have you forgotten that if you can come back from Yanhui Secret Realm, I will officially accept you as my disciple, so now, you are not my disciple yet."
Tong Yan gritted his teeth, "It's simply sophistry."
"Go away and practice. If you don't understand, come and ask me again." After Shang Xun finished speaking, he directly used his spiritual power to throw the person out.
Tong Yan got up and patted her butt. She didn't understand why Shang Xun lost his temper. "She took my baby and beat me and cursed me. She is a vicious stepmother!"
Shang Xun inside almost laughed angrily when he heard Tong Yan arranging him in this way. The magic weapons given by the peak masters were useless to her because of her cultivation level, and they would only be remembered for nothing.
Furthermore, the way she shrank in front of his father in the main hall today really showed that she had lost the demeanor of being his direct disciple, which made him angry.
Tong Yan has something to say here. She is only in the qi training stage, and her father is a monk in the transformation stage. His cultivation has reached the sky and the earth. Her legs are not frightened by the pressure of the transformation. She is already extraordinary, right?
However, Shang Xun was depressed because he didn't know anything about Tong Yan, so he returned to his room and began to immerse himself in practice.
It’s not a question of whether the magic weapon is a magic weapon or not, the main thing is to stay alive.
When it was difficult to go to Luo Dong for cultivation, Tong Yan finally realized that he still had a master. After he had the courage to ask Shang Xun for advice, the number of times he came to him unknowingly increased.
Tong Yan: "Master, what is the difference between a demon cultivator and other cultivators?"
Shang Xun: "The difference between the two is just the operation of the spiritual power of the martial arts. Moreover, the cultivation of demons is faster and the lethality is stronger. It is useless for them to be jealous."
Tong Yan asked: "What are the disadvantages of cultivating demons?"
Shang Xun said slowly: "It is easy for demon cultivators to be haunted by inner demons, and it is difficult to maintain their cultivation. Moreover, thunder tribulations are generally more difficult to overcome than monks of the same level."
…
"Master, I'm going to Yanhui Secret Realm in a few days. What do I need to prepare?" Tong Yan asked humbly.
"Ask Luo..." Shang Xun, who was a little annoyed by Tong Yan's question, was about to push him to Luo Dong, but suddenly stopped.
Last time Luo Dong didn't teach Tong Yan for more than half a month, she kept silent about Senior Brother Luo. If the two of them were given too much contact time, she would be afraid that she would not recognize what her master looked like.
Shang Xun suddenly turned cold and said, "Follow me down the mountain."
Tong Yan looked at Shang Xun, whose face dropped inexplicably. He didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to ask. He nodded repeatedly, "It's master."
It wasn't until the two of them arrived at the nearest Cultivation City that Tong Yan realized belatedly that Shang Xun was here to take her shopping.
"Vitality Pill, Detoxification Pill, Hemostasis Pill...Second-grade defensive formation disk, third-grade attack formation disk, third-grade soul-reviving formation disk...the Explosive Flame Talisman, the Water Sword Talisman and the Swift Wind Talisman each take one hundred." Shang Xun led Tong Yan in.
I went to a Duobao Pavilion that sold magical artifacts, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I mentioned a long list of names of elixirs and talismans.
When the waiter in the store heard that Shang Xun wanted so many things, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, please wait a moment, I will prepare it for you."
Tong Yan quietly pulled Shang Xun's sleeve. Shang Xun looked down at her little head and said, "What's the matter?"
"Master, are all these you bought for use in the secret realm? Isn't it too much?" Tong Yan said softly.
Xu was pleased by this action. He raised his hand and touched Tong Yan's head a few times and said: "These are all external things. If you want to survive in the secret realm, it still depends on your own strength."
Tong Yan nodded blankly.
Shang Xun chuckled lightly, "But money is also a part of strength, understand."
Tong Yan kept nodding his head, understanding clearly that money can make the world go round.
She is familiar with cultivation novels and knows that luck is also a part of strength (proud face).
Shang Xun frowned slightly after looking at her shaking head. He raised his hand to catch her head, and his round chin suddenly hit the palm of his hand.
Tong Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he just heard him say: "Stop clicking, people are stupid to begin with, and if you click again, you will look even more stupid."
Tong Yan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said bitterly, "Master, this is called cuteness! Acting cute!"
After getting the storage bag full of things, Shang Xun paid off the spirit stones and walked out. As he walked, he said slowly: "Can you explain what cuteness is?"
Tong Yan followed and defended: "Meng means that I am cute and well-behaved."
"You are very confident." He suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, when you go out, don't say you are my apprentice. I can't afford to disgrace this person."
Tong Yan, who was unable to complain, thought silently, if you act like this, I'm afraid that I will bully my master and destroy my ancestors in the future.
