A six month old child's face could easily change. The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, but as the evening approached, the sky began to drizzle. The entire South Gate Town was shrouded in a hazy misty rain. Vaguely, a few lights lit up one after another.
In the villa, Tan Xiu was sitting cross-legged on the balcony of his bedroom, silently sensing the situation inside his body. The nine stars in his body had become more and more dazzling after several days of cultivation. Even though he was sitting cross-legged, the feeling of power was still like a surging wave that transmitted to his limbs and five bones.
He was very clear that the practice of the Skin Strengthening stage was imperative. After he returned from helping Jia Ruidao, he would go all out to find the herbs and spirit stones. If it was really difficult to find them in a short time, then he could only ask Chen Zhizhong for help.
"The path of cultivation is full of hardships and dangers. But I'm bound to ride the wind and break through the waves, and set foot on glory. "
In the past, he was rarely in a predicament of lacking cultivation resources. But the resources on Earth were scarce. If he wanted to cultivate the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis, then he must plunder all the available resources, even if it was extremely difficult. He had the ambition of an eagle soaring in the sky, courageously going against the current. Facing all the difficulties, he firmly believed that they would not stump him.
"Huh?"
With his perception, he immediately sensed Chen Zhizhong's arrival.
In the hall on the first floor.
Chen Zhizhong was surprised as he looked at the villa's decoration. He found that even the place he lived in was not as good as this villa. Suddenly, he couldn't help but envy Long Hanwen. After all, his son had such foresight and accurate investment. He was definitely an elite of the Commercial Street, an outstanding talent.
"You're here!"
Tan Xiu came down from the stairs and said with an expressionless face.
Chen Zhizhong's heart tightened as he respectfully greeted and called out, "Master!"
This time, Tan Xiu didn't refute him. Instead, he came to the living room and sat on the sofa, calmly saying, "I have received several registered disciples, so I know that teaching disciples is troublesome. Therefore, I don't have much time to waste on teaching disciples. Before you worship me as your Master, I have a request. "
"Please say it!"
Chen Zhizhong hurriedly said.
He didn't expect that Tan Xiu had received several disciples at such a young age. If so, wouldn't he have several Senior Brothers in the future?
"No hurry," said Tan Xiu. I want to ask you a few questions first. If your answers satisfy me, then you will be my registered disciple from today onwards. If I'm not satisfied with your answer, go back to whence you came. Even what you see and hear here today must not be leaked. "
Chen Zhizhong's mind moved and he said, "Please ask! I will definitely answer truthfully. "
Tan Xiu pointed upwards and said, "Do you believe that there is always someone better out there? Is there a higher existence above our Earth? "
Chen Zhizhong said, "Of course! The vast universe was boundless. Who knows how many civilizations there will be, how many brand new worlds. "
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this universe. I'm talking about space. Just like the world in those Xianxia stories, there was the human world, the demon world, the immortal world, and the divine world? Do you believe that these higher-level spaces exist? "
Chen Zhizhong pondered for a moment before slowly replying, "I don't know."
Tan Xiu asked, "If there is, can you accept it?"
Chen Zhizhong nodded without hesitation. "There are all sorts of strange things in the boundless universe. More broadly, the Devil Realm, the Immortal Realm, and the God Realm were not out of the question. If there really is one, I can naturally accept it. "
Tan Xiu asked, "Next question. How much do you know about cultivators? "
Cultivators?
Could it be …
His mind turned quickly and he seriously said, "Cultivators are legendary figures in my eyes. What I know about them comes from fairy tales, and I've never encountered them in reality. However, I've heard of two places with such old immortals, but it's hard to say whether it's true or not. "
"Where are they?" asked Tan Xiu.
"Qinghai and XC."
Chen Zhizhong replied.
Tan Xiu nodded silently and said, "If what I teach you won't make you achieve much, will you still want to worship me as your Master?"
Chen Zhizhong said without hesitation, "As long as I can practice martial arts and make progress, I'm willing to worship you as my Master."
Tan Xiu pointed to the door and said, "I already know your answer. You can go now."
Chen Zhizhong was stunned and instantly felt cold all over. He didn't understand what was wrong with his answer. Why did Tan Xiu refuse to accept him as a disciple?
"Can you tell me what I can't satisfy you?"
Tan Xiu said, "My disciple doesn't need to practice martial arts. My disciple only needs to have a heart, a heart that is not afraid of danger and has the courage to fight against fate. Learning my cultivation method will always go against the heaven's will. A little carelessness will lead to eternal damnation. To put it plainly, the most important thing to learn from me is to cultivate the heart, followed by the cultivation of the body. "
Chen Zhizhong immediately knelt in front of Tan Xiu and firmly said, "I have that heart. If I can make myself stronger, I'm willing to go against the heaven's will. "
Tan Xiu gazed deeply at him and watched his firm and resolute face. After a long silence, he nodded and said, "Go get some tea and then kowtow to me."
"You're … alright, alright, I'll go right away."
Chen Zhizhong didn't react for a while. After he reacted, he immediately shouted with ecstasy.
Serve the tea!
Kowtow!
The simplest ceremony of worshipping a Master and Disciple only took two minutes to complete.
Tang Xiu motioned for Chen Zhizhong to sit on the opposite sofa, and then slowly said, "Anyhow, according to your age, your achievements in this life won't be too great even if you follow me to cultivate. It's very difficult for you to ascend to the heavens, and the chances of you becoming a Supreme Immortal are slim. However, since you've become my disciple, I'll naturally make you live longer and become stronger. "
"Ascend to the heavens?"
"The paragon of immortals?"
Chen Zhizhong's pupils violently contracted and his face was aghast.
"That's right," Tan Xiu said in a deep voice. "I'm a cultivator, not someone who practices martial arts as you said. There are thousands of paths to the Great Dao, but all of them lead to the same destination. I'll teach you immortal cultivation arts and guide you to step into the path of cultivation. As for how much you can achieve in the future, it's all up to your fortune. "
Fortune!
It was indeed a great fortune!
Chen Zhizhong was so excited that he wanted to shout out loud, but he didn't dare to act rashly in front of Tan Xiu. He had heard of cultivators, but he had never seen one. Such legendary figures were like towering mountains in his eyes, making him admire and yearn for them.
"Thank you, Master. This disciple will follow your teachings and cultivate seriously."
Chen Zhizhong knelt in front of Tan Xiu again and respectfully kowtowed three times.
Tan Xiu frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "You don't need to kowtow to me so easily in the future. I can't teach you much, so you can ask me when you encounter something you don't understand in your cultivation. "
Shortly after …
Tan Xiu randomly picked a cultivation art and imparted it to Chen Zhizhong. The cultivation art he imparted might be mediocre in the eyes of those Supreme Immortals in the Immortal World. But in the eyes of those ordinary Immortals, it was no different from a legendary supreme divine art.
Tan Xiu's present cultivation was too low to instill his spiritual sense, so he could only impart it bit by bit. It took him four hours to impart a cultivation art.
"Alright, I've imparted you the cultivation art. I'll teach you some other knowledge when you really embark on the path of cultivation, such as alchemy, refining, arrays, and so on. But remember, you can't be too hasty in your cultivation. Otherwise, it will lead to instability in your state of mind and lead to cultivation deviation. "
"I'll follow your teachings, Master."
Chen Zhizhong respectfully replied.
Tan Xiu waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go now. Remember, you must never tell anyone about the cultivation art I'm imparting to you today. Including your closest relatives. "
"Understood!"
Chen Zhizhong immediately nodded.
After Tan Xiu sent Chen Zhizhong away, he picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time, only to find that there was an unread message on his mobile phone. After opening it, he remembered that Gong Dalong took his ID number during the day and said that he wanted to book a plane ticket. He didn't expect that he had already booked the plane ticket, and the departure time was tomorrow morning.
"I don't know how it feels to fly by plane? Is it like flying on a flying sword? "
After pondering for a moment, Tang Xiu felt a bit hungry and went to the kitchen. What made him smile wryly was that the clean and tidy kitchen was empty. Even the fridge was empty.
"This house doesn't have the taste of home at all. It's better to live with Mother! Although the house is small, it has all the essentials and has the warmth of a home. "
After sighing with emotion, he was surprised to find that there was a menu on the wall behind the dining table. There were all kinds of dishes on it, and it was particularly sumptuous. After looking at it, he realized that the property management office left it for him. They were afraid that he didn't want to go out to eat and no one would cook for him, so they left a takeout menu.
"Sure enough, you get what you pay for. For this villa complex, the property management office is really considerate. "Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and called the number on the menu to order a takeout.
Twenty minutes later.
The doorbell of the villa's courtyard rang. When Tan Xiu came outside, he found that the takeout had been delivered, and the person who delivered it was none other than Long Zhenglin.
"Why are you here?"
Asked Tan Xiu in surprise.
"Big Bro Tang, I came especially to see you," said Long Zhenglin with an excited face. "I just met the delivery man outside the door, so I gave him the money and sent him away."
"How come I feel that you're like a ghost that keeps haunting me?" Tan Xiu said with a helpless expression. "You're not enough to follow me during the day, yet you still come to sleep with me at night?"
Long Zhenglin shook his head vigorously. The excitement on his face didn't diminish, "Big Bro Tang, I'm looking for you for something else. Do you still remember the prescription you gave me this afternoon? I bought all the medicinal herbs according to the prescription and then went home to ask the housekeeper to boil it for me. I felt different after taking it. It just so happened that there was a girl who was interested in me, so I tried it. Guess what happened? It was simply a miracle! I persisted for a full 20 minutes. I didn't lie to you. I specifically looked at the time, and 20 minutes was definitely enough. "
"Are you sick? Why are you telling me this kind of thing? "
Tan Xiu was at a loss whether he had to laugh or cry as he cursed.
Long Zhenglin shook his head again and said, "Big Bro, I saw a strong business opportunity in that prescription. So, I pulled up my pants and hurriedly came to discuss with you about making a fortune. "
"Business opportunity?"
