Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 265: Accepting Shuanglong as a Disciple
"Master~"

Seeing the figure walking in from the door, everyone's face showed a hint of joy, and they all said.

The person who walked in from outside was wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist bun. He looked very young, about seventeen or eighteen years old. It was Chu Yuan.

"Master, didn't you say that you were being hunted by the 'Empress of Yin' Zhu Yuyan? Why are you back?"

The strange stone dragon road.

"Of course, I came back after escaping from the pursuit of the Yin Queen."

Chu Yuan said with a smile.

Ten days ago, Queen Yin Zhu Yuyan caught up with him outside Yanmen Pass again, and Chu Yuan and Zhu Yuyan had another fierce battle!
But this battle...still ended with Chu Yuan's successful escape.

Until finally, Chu Yuan was completely outside the pass and got rid of Zhu Yuyan.

In fact, while Chu Yuan was being hunted by Zhu Yuyan, his strength became stronger and stronger, and the true qi of "The Secret of Immortality" in his body was constantly growing.

Before, at the dock outside Yangzhou City, he could fight with Queen Yin Zhu Yuyan for more than fifty moves at most, and now it has gradually evolved to a maximum of eighty moves.

In addition, Chu Yuan also noticed that the mark of the Heavenly Demon Qi that Zhu Yuyan deliberately left on him was cleared by Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan relied on his own strength to escape from Zhu Yuyan's pursuit.

"I hope the master comes back safely."

Elder Xuancheng said happily.

Good things really happened one after another. Just now, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling said that the leader Chu Yuan killed the rebel king Liu Wuzhou outside Yanmen Pass. Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan had already escaped from the pursuit of the "Yin Queen" Zhu Yuyan and rushed back to Yangzhou.

"Master, where is the 'Queen of Yin' Zhu Yuyan?"

Kou Zhong asked curiously.

Chu Yuan said: "She should be busy with her own business now and has no time to bother me."

After being thrown off by herself, Zhu Yuyan should have received the news that Yinkui Sect's elder Bian Bufu was attacked.

"I wonder if Madam Dongming and the Dongming Sect succeeded?"

Chu Yuan said secretly in his heart.

He formed an alliance with the Dongming Sect and promised Madam Dongming to detain Zhu Yuyan and her disciple Wanwan for three days. Not only did he do it, but he went far beyond that.

"The Queen of Yin" Zhu Yuyan chased him all the way from Yangzhou City to outside the Great Wall, a journey of thousands of miles, and a round trip of about ten days.

If Madam Dongming Shan Meixian had been well prepared and her plan had gone according to plan, she would have succeeded long ago.

Elder of Yinkui Sect!
Zhu Yuyan’s junior brother!

Bian Bufu should have died at the hands of Shan Meixian and the Dongming Sect.

The only surprise was Wanwan.

After he and Zhu Yuyan left, Wanwan seemed to be entangled by Shi Feixuan.

Chu Yuan immediately asked Shi Long, Xuan Cheng, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling in front of him: "By the way, after I left, where did Yin Hou's disciple go? Where did she go in the end?"

Seeing Chu Yuan asking about the witch from the Yinkui Sect, Xu Ziling said, "Master, ever since you and Queen Yin left Yangzhou, the old witch's disciples have been wandering around Yangzhou. But later, the fairy holding the ancient sword also appeared frequently, following behind the witch. They should still be around Yangzhou City now."

Kou Zhong also said: "Master Ling and I met that witch before. She wanted to attack us, but was stopped by the fairy."

Chu Yuan knew that the evil woman that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were talking about should be Zhu Yuyan’s disciple Wanwan.

As for the fairy they were talking about, it should be Shi Feixuan.

Chu Yuan said: "That's good."

No matter what task Queen Yin Zhu Yuyan assigned to Wanwan, since Wanwan was entangled by Shi Feixuan, and now with her return, she no longer poses any threat to the Qingcheng Sect.

Chu Yuan looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling in front of him and said, "Why are the two of you only at the second and third levels of the Nine Heavens Qi?"

It has been a while since Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling became Shi Long's disciples and Chu Yuan left Yangzhou.
Chu Yuan originally thought that with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's talents, they should have at least cultivated the "Nine Heavens Gang Qi" to the fourth or fifth level during this period of time!
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked somewhat helpless when they heard this: "Master, we two have only been practicing martial arts for less than a year."

Chu Yuan said: "It has only been less than three years since I gave up my martial arts and practiced the "Eternal Life Secret"."

Kou Zhong: ...

Xu Ziling: ...

Kou Zhong whispered, "Master, Ling Shao and I are both ordinary people, how can we compare with you."

Xu Ziling also nodded and said, "That's right, Master, we can't compare with you."

In the eyes of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, Chu Yuan was probably that kind of true genius.

The head of the sect is not even as old as them, but he has already mastered the "Eternal Life Secret", one of the four great books in the world, and was able to escape after fighting with a master-level expert like the "Queen of Yin" Zhu Yuyan. Both of them are a few years older than Chu Yuan, but they only practiced the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" to the second and third levels in one year.

Sometimes people cannot be compared, otherwise the only way is to get angry to death.

Elder Xuancheng said at this time: "Master, this cannot be blamed on the two of them. Generally speaking, martial arts should be practiced from a young age, the earlier the better. When the two of them became disciples, they were already adults, their bones were already formed, and they had never practiced meditation before, and they knew nothing about the acupuncture points and meridians of the human body. They have no foundation, and their basics are too poor. In this year, they have only practiced the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" to the second and third levels. It is because they are laying the foundation, and they will slowly get faster later."

Practicing Taoism and practicing martial arts both require meditation and the elimination of distracting thoughts, and they are similar in many aspects.

It is precisely because of this that after Chu Yuan founded the Qingcheng Sect and passed down the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" and many other martial arts, the Taoists on Qingcheng Mountain made such amazing progress.

In comparison, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are just two ordinary people with no foundation. They are also old. If the Qingcheng Sect's signature martial arts was not the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" that directly targets the innate, they would probably never achieve anything in their lifetime and would have no hope of becoming innate.

Chu Yuan said: "Their training speed is too slow."

Chu Yuan trained the two protagonists, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, as the future successors of the Qingcheng Sect.

The evil Yinkui sect has a successor named Wanwan!

The Buddhist Cihang Jingzhai has a successor, Master Feixuan!

Why couldn't he train Shuanglong as the future successor of the Qingcheng Sect?

Chu Yuan asked: "Do you two want to practice the "Eternal Life Secret"?"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were stunned at first, then Kou Zhong said in surprise, "Master, you mean the book that is widely circulated in the martial arts world is said to be the 'Sect of Immortality', one of the four great books in the world, left by the immortal Guangchengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor?"

Xu Ziling also said: "Don't people in the martial arts world say that as long as you master this "Eternal Life Secret", you can live forever and ascend to become an immortal?"

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Secret of Immortality. As for whether you can achieve immortality and ascend to become an immortal after mastering it, it depends on whether you can master it."

Xu Ziling hesitated and said, "Master, I heard from my master that practicing the "Eternal Life Secret" seems to require giving up one's own martial arts!"

Chu Yuan said: "Yes, to practice the "Eternal Life Secret", you cannot have any other martial arts' alien qi in your body. You do need to abandon your martial arts. However, since you and Xu Ziling have only been practicing martial arts for a short time, less than a year, your internal energy is scarce, so the loss of abandoning your martial arts is not that great."

Kou Zhong suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Master, Ling Shao and I have done it."

Chu Yuan said: "Don't you want to consider it?"

Kou Zhong: "Don't think about it. Elder Xuancheng and our master have said before that we are too old and it's too late to practice martial arts. Fortunately, the sect leader has created a martial art that can directly point to the innate. Otherwise, we two would have practiced for a lifetime and it would be difficult to achieve success and enter the innate realm. This "Eternal Life Secret" is an opportunity for us brothers."

Even though Chu Yuan had met mostly innate masters since he was born.

In fact, these people are the top group in the whole world in terms of strength, status and origin.

Naturally there is a heritage of innate martial arts!

For some people of ordinary backgrounds in the Jianghu and the martial arts world, innateness is a martial arts realm that can only be encountered by chance.

To be able to become a top-notch master like Shi Long at the beginning is already one of the best.

Xu Ziling was still a little hesitant: "Mr. Zhong, I think we should reconsider it?"

Xu Ziling's personality is inherently more indecisive than Kou Zhong's.

He was somewhat unable to give up the internal force of "Nine Heavens Gangqi" in his body which he had cultivated for nearly a year.

Kou Zhong said, "Young Master Ling, don't hesitate. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you and me. Although the Nine Heavens Qi is powerful and is a martial art created by the master that can directly reach the innate, it is ultimately not as good as the Longevity Secret. Otherwise, the master would not have given up the Nine Heavens Qi and turned to practice the Longevity Secret."

"Mr. Zhong..." Xu Ziling hurriedly stopped him when he heard it, fearing that Kou Zhong's words would offend Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan said calmly, "Don't worry, Kou Zhong is right. Whether in terms of purpose or power, my self-created 'Nine Heavens Gang Qi' cannot be compared with 'The Art of Immortality'."

After all, "The Secret of Immortality" is a rare martial art in the world that can be practiced to the point of breaking through the void.

The "Nine Heavens Gangqi" he created, although it has followed him through several worlds, is simply unable to do so.

"Master, we are willing to practice the Art of Immortality with you."

After Kou Zhong's persuasion, Xu Ziling finally made up his mind.

Chu Yuan said: "I will stay in Yangzhou City for a while. During this time, I will teach you the "Eternal Life Secret". I hope you two can learn it."

In the original plot, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling only learned one human body diagram each. I wonder how many diagrams Shuanglong can learn with his own teaching?
Chu Yuan finally turned his gaze to Shi Long and Elder Xuan Cheng: "If you are willing to learn, I can also teach you."

Chu Yuan had no intention of keeping the martial arts in "The Secret of Immortality" to himself.

If anyone in the sect wants to practice, Chu Yuan is willing to teach them.

But the problem is that "The Secret of Immortality" is also very difficult to practice.

Not just anyone can learn it.

"No, Master, I know my own limitations. I think the Nine Heavens Qi is enough for me to practice."

Shi Long declined.

In the past, he was obsessed with "The Secret of Immortality" but gained nothing. After practicing "Nine Heavens Gangqi", he has focused all his attention on "Nine Heavens Gangqi".

From Shi Long's perspective today, his former obsession with "The Secret of Immortality" was really ridiculous.

Moreover, the more he practiced "Nine Heavens Gang Qi", the more he felt that "Nine Heavens Gang Qi" was also very profound.

Although the "Eternal Life Secret" is powerful and is a martial art left by the ancient immortal Guangchengzi, the "Eternal Life Secret" is like a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water, which can be fished out but not obtained. As for the "Nine Heavens Gangqi"...

That is the martial art that he can truly practice and gain something from.

"I don't know, Master. I am already old. Although the Secret of Immortality is good, I cannot give up the skills I have cultivated with great difficulty to practice the illusory Secret of Immortality."

Elder Xuancheng also said.

He also had self-knowledge. If the "Eternal Life Secret" was really that easy to practice, his own leader would not be the only one who had mastered the "Eternal Life Secret" in thousands of years.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you kowtow to the Sect Master?"

Shi Long was standing aside at this time, instructing Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

"Master means..."

Xu Ziling paused and reacted slowly.

Kou Zhong's eyes suddenly became clear, and he knelt directly in front of Chu Yuan: "Disciple Kou Zhong greets Master."

After saying that, he pulled Xu Ziling beside him and knelt down towards Chu Yuan. Only then did Xu Ziling understand what their master meant, that he wanted the two brothers to worship the master as their master.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Xu Ziling also knelt down, bowed and said, "Disciple Xu Ziling greets Master."

Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "You have already worshipped the owner of the stone field as your master, so you don't need to worship me again."

To be honest, he never thought of taking Shuanglong as his apprentice.

Shi Long said, "Who stipulated that they can only have one master? Moreover, the headmaster taught them one of the four great books, The Secret of Immortality. It seems a bit unreasonable for them not to take you as their master."

Kou Zhong also said: "Master, you are right. We two brothers are willing to take you as our master."

It has been nearly a year since they joined the Qingcheng Sect's Yangzhou Dojo. Now they are no longer the two young men who had just started out and lived at the bottom of Yangzhou.

They knew a lot about the martial arts world, and as disciples of Shilong, they were also well-known in Yangzhou and the Jianghuai area, and were considered real people of the martial arts world.

They knew that the current sect leader was so famous that no one in the world could match him. If they could become the sect leader Chu Yuan's disciple, their future would be limitless.

As for their original master Shi Long...

The big shot who seemed so great and unattainable to them a year ago, now is just a more powerful master in the eyes of the whole world.

Chu Yuan looked at the two of them and said, "I am younger than you. Don't you mind if you want to take me as your master?"

Chu Yuan really didn't want to accept Shuanglong as his disciple. He felt that he already had enough trouble with just one disciple, Li Shimin.

"Master, we don't mind. Do you not want to accept us as your disciples?"

"In terms of age, your new disciple, the second son of Li Yuan, the head of the Li Clan, is older than us. He can become your disciple, so why can't we?"

Who knows, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling said one after another.

What surprised Chu Yuan was that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling actually knew that he had accepted Li Yuan's son Li Shimin as his disciple.

But think about it, he is no longer an unknown person now, and his every move is watched by people all over the world.

Therefore, the fact that he accepted Li Shimin as his disciple had probably already been noticed by some interested people, and it is no longer a secret.

"Since you don't mind, you will be my disciples from now on. But you also know that I already accepted a disciple before you, so you have another senior brother, and you are his junior brothers."

Chu Yuan agreed.

If he refused again, it would seem that he disdained Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling because of their backgrounds.

"Thank you, Master."

Seeing that Chu Yuan finally agreed to accept them as his disciple, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were overjoyed and kowtowed to Chu Yuan.

"No need to be polite."

Chu Yuan waved his hand and used his true energy to lift Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling up from the ground.

After that, after a simple apprenticeship ceremony, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling officially became Chu Yuan's disciples.

Li Shimin was their eldest senior brother.

The two were Li Shimin's junior brothers.

In the following days, Chu Yuan helped the two of them to abandon their martial arts and clear out the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" true qi in their bodies, and then formally taught them the "Eternal Life Secret".

……

A few days passed.

Then a woman came to the door.

After being informed by the Taoist priest who was guarding the gate of the Qingcheng Sect's Yangzhou Taoist temple, he was brought to Chu Yuan who was teaching Shuanglong the "Eternal Life Secret" in the yard.

"Why aren't you surprised at all to see me, Taoist priest?"

Shan Wanjing was wearing a pink and white dress, like a flower that had just bloomed. She stood in front of Chu Yuan and said to him with a smile.

Beside Chu Yuan, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who had just had their martial arts skills abolished and were learning the "Eternal Life Secret" but were completely confused and dizzy, were staring at Shan Wanjing when they saw her appear.

"According to the time, it's time for your Dongming Sect to send someone here."

Chu Yuan said.

"How is it, did your mother achieve her goal this time?"

Chu Yuan asked Shan Wanjing.

"Bian Bufu is not dead."

Shan Wanjing looked a little lost.

"what happened?"

Chu Yuan asked.

"The Great Ming Sect has taken action. The Yin Kui Sect and the Great Ming Sect are secretly colluding."

Shan Wanjing said with an unpleasant expression.

Like her mother, the person she hated the most was Bian Bufu.

This time, Zhu Yuyan personally hunted down Chu Yuan, which should have been the best opportunity to kill Bian Bufu.

"Great Ming Respected Teaching."

Chu Yuan was stunned.

This Great Ming Zunjiao seems to be a foreign sect located in the territory of Huihe and originated from Persia. They are eyeing the Central Plains and preparing to invade it.

Yang Xuyan, a disciple of the evil king Shi Zhixuan, is the atom of the Great Ming Zunjiao.

The Great Ming Zun Sect is very mysterious and is led by the Great Master, the Good Mother and the Five Mingzi.

It’s just that the Great Ming Sect is even more hidden than the Demon Sect.

No one knows where the people from the Great Ming Sect are hiding!
"What about that side?"

Chu Yuan asked.

"My mother asked Chao Gongcuo, the 'South Sea Immortal' of the Nanhai School, to take action. Bian Bufu was severely injured, but he still managed to escape."

Shan Wanjing said.

"The "South Sea Immortal" Chao Gongcuo!"

Chu Yuan seemed to be thinking about something.

This person is a master-level expert at the level of Zhu Yuyan, who was able to fight with "Sanren" Ning Daoqi, one of the three great masters, for a hundred moves before being defeated.

Being able to ask the "South China Sea Immortal" Chao Gongcuo to take action shows that the Dongming Sect has invested a huge amount of money this time and the price it paid is not small.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Chu Yuan could only comfort Shan Wanjing.

In Chu Yuan's opinion, the elders of the Demon Sect like Bian Bufu are not really his opponents. The difficult ones are the Yinkui Sect behind Bian Bufu and the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan.

Moreover, he did not have as deep hatred for Bian Bufu as he did for Shan Meixian and her daughter, and he did not have such deep feelings about the fact that Madam Dong Ming's plan to kill Bian Bufu failed, allowing Bian Bufu to save his life.

"Fortunately, Bian Bufu was also seriously injured and difficult to heal. This arrangement has not been in vain."

Then Shan Wanjing said again.

Although Bian Bufu is her biological father, she has no feelings for him.

"Oh, right, when the Taoist priest was fighting with the Yin Queen, the Rakshasa woman who followed him seemed to have escaped."

Shan Wanjing thought of another thing.

It was only after Fu Jun'er had left for a long time and had not returned that she realized what was happening and sent people to look for her, only to find that she was no longer on the boat.

"Just run away."

Chu Yuan doesn't care about the Tao.

His purpose of capturing Fu Jun'er had been achieved, so there was no need to keep Fu Jun'er now.

As for Fu Jun'er, would she send a message to her master Fu Cailin and ask Fu Cailin to kill him?
Central Plains is not Goryeo. As the master of Goryeo, Fu Cailin may not leave Goryeo easily.

Even if Fu Cailin really came to Central Plains to kill Chu Yuan, Chu Yuan was now able to barely fight with Zhu Yuyan and escape from her hands. Given time, he might be able to fight with Fu Cailin.
