"Now, Master … no … I … no … I've said everything I need to say. Do you still want to accept me as your disciple?"
Duanmu Cheng chuckled and rubbed his hands forcefully. He squinted his eyes and revealed an extremely wretched look as he spoke to Qin Yi.
It had to be said that this old fellow's face changed really quickly. If Qin Yi had not been standing there and listening, he would not have believed that the person who had just said those words was this wretched looking old man in front of him.
However, Duanmu Cheng himself was a person who had no moral integrity.
In the beginning, when he wanted Qin Yi to acknowledge him as his master, it was almost the same as what was happening in front of him. The only difference now was that his goal had changed from wanting to accept a disciple to wanting to acknowledge him as his master.
To be honest, Qin Yi was sometimes at a loss of what to do with such a person. At that moment, he could only say, "As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. You are my master, and this will never change. Moreover, I have never had the habit of accepting disciples. Most importantly, for an old man like Master to call me Master, wouldn't it be an insult to me? "
Duanmu Cheng had already decided to be shameless to the end. Even if Qin Yi said so, he still did not change his mind. His face was full of smiles, like a blooming chrysanthemum. He said to Qin Yi, "Not at all, not at all! If you think about it from another angle. In front of others, for an old man like me to call you Master, what does that mean? "
"It means that you're powerful! It means that you're able to convince an old man like me at such a young age! If others saw this, wouldn't they think that you're an extraordinary young man? "
Duanmu Cheng chuckled and said, "Moreover, think about it again. If you accept me as your disciple, you can also earn Guo Zhong as your grand-disciple. In an instant, you'll be several generations older! "
Qin Yi could not help but roll his eyes and said snappily, "Master, if Senior Brother Guo Zhong heard what you said, would he still accept you as his Master, a person who directly sold him out behind his back?"
"How dare he!"
Duanmu Cheng straightened his face and said sternly, "This little brat has always listened to me. If I tell him to go east, he absolutely won't dare to go west! If he dares to resist, this old man will whip him to death! "
Needless to say, Qin Yi was completely speechless. This dirty old man was really good at tricking his disciple.
"Furthermore, Qin Yi, think about it … I, Duanmu Cheng, am a rather famous alchemist, right?"
Knowing that Qin Yi wasn't interested in fame, Duanmu Cheng immediately changed his mind. "If you accept me as your disciple, not only do you not need to teach me from the beginning, I can even help you when you refine pills. Although I'm not as knowledgeable as you, I should still know the basics, right? Who knows, I might even be able to help a lot! If you think about it this way, don't you think that this is a deal that's guaranteed to be profitable? "
"What are you talking about?"
Honestly speaking, at this very moment, Qin Yi really couldn't bear to listen anymore. Immediately, he hurriedly interrupted Duanmu Cheng's words, afraid that he would say something even more immoral.
"Master, you really don't have to be like this. I'm a person with principles, I will absolutely not accept you as my disciple! "
"Looks like this old man's sincerity isn't enough!"
Duanmu Cheng put on a long face, then directly sat down on the ground. "If you don't accept me, I will not leave this place today!"
Qin Yi's face was filled with black lines, he wanted to cry but no tears came out. "Master, can you listen to what I have to say first? I won't accept you as my disciple, but this doesn't mean that I won't teach you the knowledge I know about alchemy. "
"Really?" Duanmu Cheng's eyes lit up, as if he had seen the light of dawn in the dark night. He instantly stood up excitedly. "You will really teach me the knowledge you know about alchemy?"
"Of course." Qin Yi hurriedly helped Duanmu Cheng to sit down on the stone bench beside him. He was afraid that this old man would act shamelessly if he didn't agree with him. "My knowledge about alchemy is all in my head. As long as I want to, I can teach it to you and Senior Brother at any time, right?"
"That's true."
Duanmu Cheng chuckled, appearing somewhat excited. But very quickly, his expression changed again and he changed the topic. "Since the beginning of time, things that belong to others can only be obtained after being apprenticed to a Master! No way, no way! This old man should still be apprenticed to a Master! "
Qin Yi resisted the urge to vomit blood and said, "Master! I really couldn't tell that you are such an inflexible person? You've done me a favor, but I've never had the chance to repay you. I know that you've always looked down on treasures, so the only thing I can repay you with is the knowledge about alchemy in my head. "
Actually, even if Duanmu Cheng didn't do this, Qin Yi had already planned to pick out a portion of the knowledge he had learned from Senior John Doe's arcane realm and hand it over to Duanmu Cheng.
Of course, Qin Yi also didn't plan to keep the other books to himself. He would also sort them out and take out a portion to expand the academy's reserves.
Now, he had completely regarded the Yin-Yang Academy as his home. Who wouldn't be willing to do their best to make their home better? Who hoped that their family members could become more and more powerful?
"Good! Good! "
Duanmu Cheng couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up again and shook his head. "Qin Yi, my good disciple! I've done many smart things in my life! But I think the smartest thing was to shamelessly accept you as my disciple! Heh heh! "
While praising Qin Yi, he didn't forget to praise himself.
If it was someone who wasn't familiar with him, they might really think that this old man was a psychopath or had a split personality.
After sighing, his eyes lit up and he quickly moved his chrysanthemum-like old face in front of Qin Yi. "Good disciple, when are you going to give these things to your master?"
It could be seen that Duanmu Cheng was really impatient and wanted to absorb even more profound alchemy knowledge.
"Wait!"
After a moment, Qin Yi finished recording a jade slip and handed it to Duanmu Cheng. "Master, this is the most suitable alchemy knowledge for you under the current circumstances. Including the things disciple talked about in the Mirage Flower Palace last time. After you finish reading, you can also teach it to Senior Brother Guozhong. This way, Senior Brother Guozhong will be able to dominate the next sect disciple assessment! "
