PNB Chapter 49 Becoming an Apprentice
Chapter 49 Becoming an Apprentice
Pulled into the consciousness space, Yao Lao was still a little confused.
"Yingyue, Sishu? What are you doing here? Where is this place?" The old doctor looked at his two disciples. Weren't they supposed to be on a training expedition? It hasn't even been a day yet.
Chen Siyuan looked into the space and saw another person. He smiled and nodded at him.
Yingyue and Wensishu pulled Yao Lao aside and told him the whole story.
"In other words, when you went to the place where you were supposed to be training, you accidentally entered the secluded place where the Medicine Ancestor and his Daoist partner lived before their ascension. Your junior sister Cheng Jiu was valued by his Daoist partner and was to inherit his mantle."
"And you, have been chosen by the Medicine Ancestor to be accepted as his disciples. You want to ask me, so he is the Medicine Ancestor?" The old medicine master slowly summarized their conversation.
Seeing his two apprentices nod, the old doctor's eyes widened: "How can this be?"
The two had thought their master would agree, but seeing that he disagreed, they looked at the Medicine Ancestor with some guilt.
"If you're going to take someone in, take me as your disciple! Medicine Ancestor, what do you think of me? I'm only 1500 years old this year! I'm at the Tribulation Transcending stage, a ninth-grade alchemist. Do you think I'm good enough for you?"
The old doctor excitedly ran up to Chen Siyuan and offered himself: "If you accept me as your disciple, then the two of them will become your grand-disciples. It will only take one time for them to become your disciples. I also have many other talented disciples under my name, who will all become your grand-disciples in the future."
Wen Sishu and Yingyue were dumbfounded. Huh?
Chen Siyuan couldn't help but feel something was off about the kind face of the old doctor. Although the old doctor was indeed older than him, it didn't mean he liked old men. That's why he had kept his appearance as a teenager for so many years.
The old apothecary noticed the way the man was looking at him. Under the astonished gazes of his two disciples, he slowly grew younger, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a handsome young man.
The two exchanged glances upon seeing their master's change.
"Master really went all out to become the disciple of the Medicine Ancestor."
"I never imagined that Master was quite handsome when he was young!" Ying
"That's right, this is the first time we've met. I don't think the other senior brothers and sisters have seen it either. If they saw Master like this, I don't know how shocked they would be."
The two didn't exchange more than a few words with their eyes before feeling the master's murderous gaze.
It wasn't very good for Master Cricket to do it so openly right under his master's nose. He withdrew his gaze and looked expectantly at the Medicine Ancestor's choice.
Chen Siyuan felt somewhat uncomfortable under the fervent gaze of the old herbalist.
Although the Medicine Ancestor always said that his talent was inferior to his own, in fact, even if his Daoist partner's identity had not been erased by the Heavenly Dao, she would not have been more famous than him on the Xuan Tian Continent.
He was the one who truly changed the world of alchemists in the cultivation realm, a figure who was considered the founding patriarch.
Not only because of his legendary experiences, but also because he improved the basic alchemy methods to a more perfect level.
It can be said that there are countless talented and eccentric people in the history of cultivation, but since the Medicine Ancestor, all alchemists have learned from him.
No alchemist did not admire him, and no alchemist dared to offend him.
Chen Siyuan remained calm: "I have taken a liking to your two young disciples and intend to accept them as my nominal disciples. I wonder if you would be willing?"
The old apothecary was somewhat disappointed; it seemed he had been refused. His youthful appearance slowly returned to its original state. After all, he was the teacher of so many people, and he had to maintain some dignity as an elder.
"Yingyue, Wensishu," the old apothecary called to his two disciples.
"master!"
"Come quickly and become a disciple of the Medicine Ancestor!"
"Greetings, Second Master!" The two men greeted him respectfully.
The Medicine Ancestor nodded in satisfaction: "Why is there still no news from your junior sister? Something must have happened. I'll go and take a look. You and your master can have a good chat. For the next two years, it will be difficult for you to leave this valley."
Seeing the Medicine Ancestor leave, the Medicine Elder held the hands of his two disciples: "You have such a great opportunity, you must cherish it."
Both expressed strong agreement.
"You must study hard, and if you don't understand something, you must ask."
"Don't worry, Master."
"Learn more, and when you return to your sect, share what you've learned with your master," Elder Yao said earnestly.
"Yes, Master." Although the two said this, they were still unsure. After all, their cultivation levels were only so-so, and their alchemy skills could not compare to their master, who had thousands of years of experience.
The old master felt that such expectations were too heavy for his disciples, so he immediately changed his words: "It doesn't matter if you don't learn very well. Your master just wants to learn from the alchemy methods of the Medicine Ancestor. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves."
"Okay!" The two nodded.
Because the Medicine Ancestor said he might not be able to come out within two years, the Medicine Master was particularly concerned about his two young disciples.
He kept nagging and giving earnest instructions.
Meanwhile, seeing that Venerable Qingxu agreed, Cheng Jiu also became Cang Jiyue's disciple under the witness of his master.
Although Cang Jiyue initially wanted to take Qingxu Venerable as his disciple, he was not angry when Qingxu Venerable refused.
On the contrary, he had a very good impression of Venerable Qingxu, and he even took one of the Venerable Qingxu's disciples as his own. It was also Venerable Qingxu's first time taking a disciple, and he was still a little unfamiliar with the disciples, even though he had his own Daoist partner to help him.
Cang Jiyue valued her first apprentice quite a lot.
The two then began to talk about Cheng Jiu. Qingxu Venerable also harbored many concerns about Cheng Jiu.
In particular, she had no concept of the most basic common sense, even though these were the most basic things and would not usually affect her cultivation.
But I'm afraid that one day Cheng Jiu will lose his mind and drag me into a quagmire, refusing to turn back until we hit a brick wall.
In addition, the two Daoist partners were even more curious about what would happen to the Xuan Tian Continent after they left.
After all, both of them had ascended to heaven nearly 10 years ago, and because the flow rates of different worlds are different, the time difference they experienced was even greater.
They ascended from this continent and have a deep affection for everything on it.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have rushed down to the lower realm as soon as the inheritance was triggered.
Given their status, even if Cheng Jiu and the other two were unwilling to become disciples, they wouldn't pester them or even summon their current masters.
It must be understood that the dimensions of the world are too vast, and it is not easy for them to come down here, let alone use secret techniques to bring their master along with cause and effect.
The two of them attracted the attention of Heaven as soon as they arrived, and staying there for a long time was not without its price; they had to give some benefits to Heaven.
The three of them were chatting, and it could be said that they hit it off immediately.
Cheng Jiu left the consciousness space. She was sleeping on the couch. When she got up from the couch, she seemed to trip over something and then saw Wen Sishu lying on the ground.
There was a very obvious shoe print on his body. Cheng Jiu felt a little guilty, so he patted it to clean it up, moved his senior brother to the couch, and carried his senior sister to the bamboo bed inside.
