"This disciple will keep it in mind!" Xiao Chen immediately nodded and replied in a serious manner.
Of course, he knew why Old Ghost did not hesitate to pay such a high price to accept him as a disciple!
It was not because he wanted to accept an embroidered pillow who looked good but was useless.
Old Ghost accepted him as a disciple in order to let him inherit his Dao of Formation and become a famous Formation Grandmaster in the Immortal World. If he thought that he could sit back and relax after being accepted as a disciple of Old Ghost, then this idea was absolutely wrong.
Xiao Chen had never thought like this. Of course, Old Ghost also knew that Xiao Chen was not such a person, so he just reminded him. Then Old Ghost waved his hand and led Xiao Chen to an attic at the back of the courtyard.
"Although your talent and affinity for formations are very high, considering that you have never learned anything about formations before, I will not be teaching you how to set up formations directly for a long time. Instead, I will let you learn step by step from the most basic knowledge. I hope that you will not bite off more than you can chew, and that you will first have a firm grasp of the basics!" The old man looked at Xiao Chen, and then an ancient scroll appeared in his hand.
"This is the knowledge about Formation that I have carefully sorted out for you during this period of time. It contains everything from the basic knowledge to some relatively advanced knowledge. I will give you half a year to understand all these things thoroughly. After half a year, I will test you. If you can do it to my satisfaction, then I will start teaching you again!" Old Ghost handed the ancient scroll to Xiao Chen.
Then he said, "Because of the previous agreement with Old Zhang, the two of us have discussed many times in this half a year and finally came up with a more suitable method. Whether it is Alchemy or Formation, learning for a few days or half a month at a time is not as good as systematic learning for a long period of time, and then relaxing afterwards. Moreover, because you are now at the beginning stage, we will use half a year as the deadline. For half a year, you will learn from me, and for the other half, you will go to Old Zhang to learn. We will give you a total of ten years. If you can achieve good results in both paths within ten years, then depending on the situation, we will officially accept you as a disciple. If I find that one of the paths is not suitable, or is not as good as the other path, then I will choose the better path to be apprenticed to!"
"Yes, disciple understands. I will definitely do my best and will not disappoint Master's expectations!" Xiao Chen appropriately expressed his loyalty.
This was also his real inner thoughts. Now that there was such an opportunity, and there were two real masters in their respective fields who were willing to patiently teach him, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to learn more.
Although the two little guys, Donghuang Zhong and Fengsha Sword, were probably more accomplished in Alchemy and Weapon Refining than Old Ghost and Old Zhang, after all, the two little guys' memory was somewhat incomplete, and there were some systematic knowledge that the two little guys could not teach him. Therefore, Old Zhang and Old Ghost were more suitable candidates to be Xiao Chen's Master.
"Take a look at this ancient scroll first, and ask me if there is anything you don't understand. Within this half a year, I will be here to answer all kinds of questions for you at any time!" Then, Old Ghost waved his hand and said. Then, he sat down with his legs crossed not far away from Xiao Chen, closed his eyes, and rested. Clearly, Old Ghost was very strict when it came to teaching his apprentices.
He was also very responsible. Xiao Chen was very touched that he was willing to go this far despite his identity and status. After all, not every master would be willing to teach their disciples so patiently. He even wasted his own time and waited here for half a year just to answer all of Xiao Chen's questions. How could Xiao Chen not be touched by his actions?
"Master, I have a question. Is there any way to go back to the lower universe from the immortals' realm?" Xiao Chen didn't start to study the ancient scroll right away. Instead, he made up his mind and asked this question. He had been missing Su Qingyi and the twins very much lately, and he wanted to know if there was any way to go back. Donghuang Zhong had the ability to shuttle between universes, but Donghuang Zhong was not capable of taking him back to the Central Imperial Universe through the immortals' realm even though he had the ability!
Therefore, he wanted to know if there was any other way to go back to the lower universe from the immortals' realm.
Old Ghost didn't get angry. He just threw Lu Li a look and said with a smile, "You have family and friends in the lower universe, right? Hmm, as a matter of fact, every newcomer who has just ascended will have this question. It is a pity that it is very difficult to go back to the lower universe from the immortals' realm. The cost is so great that even I find it hard to bear!"
"What?" When Xiao Chen heard this, he was instantly shocked. Although Old Ghost had always been unusually kind in front of him and was his elder, one should not forget that Old Ghost was a powerful Celestial King. Moreover, he was a Celestial King in the field of formations!
His identity and status were so high that Xiao Chen couldn't even imagine the wealth he could earn. But if Old Ghost said that the cost to go back to the lower universe from the immortals' realm was so great that even he could not bear it, then the cost must be beyond Xiao Chen's imagination. "My dear disciple, I advise you not to think about it.
"My dear disciple, I advise you not to think about it. Once you become an Immortal, you will be completely different from those ordinary cultivators. The lifespan of an Immortal is incomparably long, and cultivation is even more difficult. If your family and friends can't ascend in the future, they will be separated forever sooner or later. I know that you must be feeling very sad now, but this is something that everyone has to experience. In the future, you will slowly get used to it. Of course, if my dear disciple can become a super figure that can shake the entire Immortal World in the future, it will be much easier for you to return home!" Old Ghost didn't care that Xiao Chen didn't immediately start studying formations, but comforted him.
Because he had also experienced that time, he naturally understood Xiao Chen's current feelings. He also knew that only by removing any obsession from Xiao Chen's heart, could he study wholeheartedly.
"Become a super figure that shakes the Immortal Realm …" Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. This goal was simply unthinkable for him now.
