Chapter 275

After this question was asked, all the disciples were silent. It was easy to bluff and answer this kind of question. The key was what kind of answer Mo Yuan, who was sitting on the podium, wanted to hear. This was what most of the disciples were trying to figure out. Only a small number of disciples were really thinking about it.

Shi Shuan's mind was in a mess. It was difficult to answer this question accurately. How did this friend and relative who blocked his path of cultivation treat him normally? Was it the kind who abused him since he was a child and wanted him to die a hundred times? Or was it the kind who cared for him and wanted to replace him when he was hurt? If it was the former, he would kill him without hesitation. If it was the latter, he probably couldn't do it. And even if it was the latter, why did he want to block his way when he loved him so much? Was he bewitched, or was it all a coincidence? Was there any other way other than simply killing or not killing?

While he was lost in his thoughts, Mo Yuan began to ask the disciples below to start answering.

"Of course I will kill him. Those who block my way are not my friends and relatives," the arrogant Yu Wendao said.

A pure female cultivator stood up and answered, "No, if I kill my friends and relatives, I will be burdened with a devil in my heart and give up a chance to achieve Taoism. Maybe there will be other gains."

"The chance to achieve the dao might only come once, and friends and family only exist in this life. If one becomes a primordial spirit and experiences thousands of lives, who wouldn't they be able to kill?" This time, it was a tall and handsome pale-faced cultivator.

"What's the difference between this and the evil path?" Another male disciple stood up and refuted.

Yu Ruoshui also stood up, "I've heard that cultivation is like building. If the foundation is crooked or wrong, it will definitely be impossible to build a tall building in the future. I will not kill my friends and family and destroy my 'foundation' for the so-called path of cultivation."

"How do you know that the foundation is to love my friends and relatives and not to kill those who block my way!" A cold female disciple refuted Yu Ruoshui.

For a moment, everyone forgot their original intention and argued with each other.

Mo Yuan listened carefully for a while and suddenly pointed with his finger, "What's your choice?" He pointed at Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan's mind was in a mess. He stood up slowly, thought about it and answered honestly, "I don't know."

The disciples laughed, but Mo Yuan nodded. He flicked his sleeve, turned into a streak of lightning, and flew out of the Dao Listening Hall.

The hall was silent. Did Uncle Master Mo ask this question to hear 'I don't know'? It was better not to ask, it was just a joke.

While the outer disciples were confused, they returned to their cave residences in groups of twos and threes, while Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan followed Shi Xuan to the Sun Hall.

Yu Ruoshui was also puzzled and frowned, "Why Uncle master Mo nodded to answer 'I don'? What's the deep meaning? What do you think, Shi Xuan? "

Shi Shuan narrated the debate in his mind to the two of them. After listening to it, the two of them were deep in thought. Zhou Dielan muttered to herself, "Could it be that Senior Uncle Mo's intention is to inspire us to think, to start interrogating our hearts, and not to care about the answers?"

The three of them discussed for a while and could only reluctantly accept this very reluctant answer. Otherwise, how could they ask Mo Yuan face to face?

During the chat, Shi Xuan asked a question he had wanted to ask for a long time, "The two of you take at most one elixir a day, which is equivalent to two Karma points. In the past two years, you should have accumulated five or six thousand Karma points. Except for the Jade Slips of Cultivation Method and Jade Slips of Cultivation Experience, I didn't see you exchange for any celestial devices. You still use the Cyan-Steel Sword issued by the sect. Where did the extra Karma points go? Or do you want to exchange them for something? "

Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan were stunned. They didn't expect Shi Xuan to ask this question, so Yu Ruoshui's eyes wandered, and Zhou Dielan blushed, but in the end, Yu Ruoshui answered for Shi Xuan, "We exchanged for the Age-retaining Elixir not long ago."

Shi Xuan sighed in his heart, "Women are really crazy. An Age-retaining Elixir costs five thousand Karma points, and the Supreme Sensing Elixir, which can help a practitioner break through to the Qi Drawing Realm, only costs ten thousand Karma points, but they exchanged for the elixir without blinking."

However, when a practitioner broke through to the Qi Drawing Realm, it was rare for him to succeed with only one Supreme Sensing Elixir. Most of them needed three or four, and more than eight would have no extra effect. Therefore, for a rogue practitioner, it was difficult to save enough Spiritual Stones to buy the Supreme Sensing Elixir in his lifetime if he didn't have a fortuitous encounter or plunder.

The next morning, when Shi Xuan had just finished his morning class and was ready to go to the Yin Wind Cave, a handsome Taoist boy came to his Chaoyang Hall with a celestial device.

"What can I do for you, Senior Brother?" Shi Xuan politely asked the young man dressed as a Taoist boy.

The Taoist boy said with a smile, "This is Senior Brother Shi Xuan, right? I'm Taoist boy Xuan Chong from Phecda Peak, but it's Uncle Master Mo who invites you to Phecda Peak to discuss something, please follow me."

"Why does Mo Yuan invite me to go?" This was Shi Xuan's first reaction, and the second reaction was, "Could it be that Meng Li sent someone to kill me? But I can't mistake Phecda Peak and Megrez Peak."

Suppressing his doubts, Shi Xuan followed Taoist boy Xuan Chong, set up the sword light, and headed in the direction of the inner gate. At the same time, he was careful to run to Dubhe Peak as soon as there was something wrong.

But nothing happened along the way, and they indeed arrived at Tianji Peak. Then, he followed Taoist boy Xuan Chong into Mo Yuan's cave residence. His cave residence was quite simple, just a simple stone cave, divided into several rooms.

Mo Yuan sat on the futon on the stone bed. Seeing Shi Xuan bowing, he didn't invite him to sit down, but asked, "I want to accept you as my disciple, are you willing?"

Shi Xuan finished bowing, and was still bending his waist. Then, when he heard this question, he was almost frightened and almost forgot to answer. But his many years of cultivation were not for nothing, he immediately held his breath, knelt on the ground, and said, "Disciple is willing!" No matter why Mo Yuan wanted to accept him as a disciple, with such a thick thigh for him to cling to, what was there to hesitate for, waiting to be burned to death by Meng Li in the future?

Mo Yuan nodded, got up from the futon, and said, "Then come with me to Dubhe Peak. After the ceremony, you will be my registered disciple. When you reach the Qi Gatherer Stage and have no bad records, you will be my disciple."

Shi Xuan followed behind Mo Yuan. He was surprised and happy, but also very confused. Why did Mo Yuan suddenly want to accept him as a disciple? If he liked him, he could have accepted him two years ago. Could it be that yesterday's answer was exactly the answer that Mo Yuan was satisfied with, so he decided to accept him as a disciple? But even if he thought with his toes, he didn't think that the answer could have such a strong effect.

Mo Yuan walked in front of him in silence. Shi Xuan was full of doubts, but he was also silent. In the blink of an eye, they left the cave. A thundercloud rose under Mo Yuan's feet, and together with Shi Xuan, they flew in the direction of Dubhe Peak.

On the thundercloud, Shi Xuan really wanted to ask why Mo Yuan wanted to accept him as a disciple. But on second thought, if he asked and angered him, he would think that he didn't know what was good for him, didn't know how to appreciate favors, and didn't want to accept him, then how could he regret it? It was better to wait until the ceremony was over and they were master and disciple.

When they arrived at Dubhe Peak, Mo Yuan told Shi Xuan to wait outside the Reception Hall while he went in to report to the Sect Leader. Not long after, he saw Grandmaster Spiritstar slowly walk out, and said to Shi Xuan with a smile, "Martial Nephew Shi, please go inside, I will ring the bell."

It was at this time that Shi Xuan didn't dare to be careless. He respectfully returned Spiritstar's greeting, and then walked into the Reception Hall unhurriedly.

And on Dubhe Peak, very quickly, eight clear and melodious rings of the bell resounded. It was continuous, and the rhythm was long. Many of the inner and outer sect disciples were envious and jealous when they heard it, "Which Jindan Grandmaster wants to accept a disciple? Why isn't it him! "

In Penglai, one to six rings of the bell signified the arrival of a distinguished guest. According to the degree of the distinguished guest, the sound of the bell was different. Seven rings of the bell signified the death of Jindan Grandmaster. Eight rings of the bell signified that Jindan Grandmaster or Venerable Yin Shen was accepting a disciple. Nine rings of the bell signified that someone had achieved Jindan. Ten rings of the bell signified the death of the Sect Leader or the succession of the Sect Leader. Eleven rings of the bell signified the invasion of a great enemy. Twelve rings of the bell signified that someone in the sect had attained Primordial Spirit Dao. Thirteen rings of the bell signified the death of a Primordial Spirit Dao Master.

After the bell rang, all the Seats of Honor, Elders, True Disciples, and Inner Sect disciples all flew to the Receiving Hall to observe the ceremony. The Outer Sect disciples did not have this qualification and could only receive the news after the ceremony.

Meng Li walked into the Receiving Hall and saw the disciple kneeling in the middle of the hall. His gaze froze. This person was one of Yu Chang's enemies. Meng Li had originally planned to have the Disciplinary Hall call this person over if he could not find the cause of Yu Chang's death. Then, he would use sorcery to interrogate this person. Now, he had become the disciple of which Jindan Grandmaster?

Looking ahead, the person standing under the Sect Leader was the cold-faced Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan's acceptance of a disciple surprised many people. It should be known that this was the first disciple Mo Yuan had accepted. In the future, it was very likely that he would become a True Disciple of the sect. Moreover, Mo Yuan did not reveal any intention of accepting a disciple at all. Otherwise, those Seats of Honor and Elders would not let go of this opportunity. They could recommend one or two disciples of their own with outstanding aptitude. Even if Mo Yuan did not choose them, they could still get familiar with him. In the future, when he accepted a disciple, he might remember him.

When everyone had arrived, Grandmaster Spiritstar presided over the ceremony as usual. First, he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the Ancestral Master Song Yan's jade statue. Then, he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to Mo Yuan. Tea was offered to him. Then, according to the ancient etiquette, he came to the last item, which was Mo Yuan's words and gifts.

"The Great Way of Jindan is incomparably difficult. Only those who are firm in themselves, firm in their hearts, and persevere in the path can finally reach it. Today's words, I hope you will remember them." Mo Yuan said with a serious face.

Shi Xuan kowtowed again and replied, "This disciple will remember."

Then, Mo Yuan took out a simple and unadorned bronze lamp. The lamp holder, supporting pillar, and supporting plate only had a little talisman-like pattern. The lamp in the bronze lamp was like a bean, flashing with a dim yellow halo. Looking at it carefully, one would feel that the lantern was sometimes green and sometimes yellow, sometimes red and sometimes white, changing constantly. "This Green Qian Yang Lamp is a magic tool that I carried with me when I was young. The light on it is made from the combination of the Qian Yan True Fire and the Sun True Fire. It has wonderful uses for destroying evil, breaking illusions, burning mountains, boiling seas, and self-defense. It has already been refined to the Seventh Celestial Layer. Later, because it was not compatible with the cultivation method, I gave it up. I gave this lamp to you, not because it is powerful, but because I want you to remember the Dao of giving up when you see it."

Shi Xuan took the Green Qian Yang Lamp and kowtowed for the last time. With that, the ceremony was completed. Shi Xuan became a disciple of Penglai's Inner Sect, the sixteenth generation disciple. He left his name in the sect's inheritance book. This name was like a soul lamp. If one day, Shi Xuan died, then the name on the lamp would become dim until it disappeared. And Grandmaster Spiritstar also cast a spell on the Karma points jade slip, changing the mark of an Outer Sect disciple into an Inner Sect disciple.
