I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 72 This young man is so scheming!
Perhaps in Li Maolin's view, the behavior of passing on the righteous Dharma but not allowing people to consider themselves disciples is simply against common sense, and any normal cultivator can feel that it is wrong (the witches who sell general magic spells need to charge money to balance cause and effect), but in Feng Xue's view, this is too righteous!

Patriarch Bodhi said so to Sun Wukong! Ma Yu said so to Guo Jing! Feng Qingyang said so to Linghu Chong! Pu Zhi and Zhang Xiaofan said so! Dayan Shenjun and Han Li said so! Wang Yaozu and Li Muxuan said so! Even Yao Lao and Xiao Yan said so at the beginning!

From childhood to adulthood, he has gone from mythology to martial arts, from martial arts to fairy tales, and even to comics, animation, and fantasy novels. Although everyone has their own reasons, it is undeniable that those masters like this tune!
In the eyes of this big guy, he could see through his disguise and he might already have a master, so it was not convenient for him to accept a disciple. Isn't it normal for him to teach a few tricks for the so-called cause and effect or rules?
Besides, regardless of whether this big guy is the remains of a great demon or an ancient immortal, he is still a powerful being. He has said so, how can I object? Since he said he is an immortal, then no matter whether he is or not, in Feng Xue's eyes, he is!

If you have something to learn, just learn it. At worst, you can just rely on luck and leave!

Feng Xue understood clearly that Li Maolin was in trouble. How could he, a bright young man before, suddenly become so clueless? He believed such talk? Didn't your sect teach you how to avoid scams?

"Wait, it seems like their Shenxiao Sect is the most deceptive sect in the past thousand years! The entire Northern Song Dynasty is pouring all its resources into helping them... Chao! I get it!"

Li Maolin's heart trembled, and he immediately realized it! This is not a failure! This kid is taking himself for granted!

"Good fellow! He's worthy of being the legendary descendant of the Divine Sky Sect who swindled an entire dynasty's fortune. He's using my own tactics to try to drain me out of my life! So, my statement of 'not calling each other master and disciple' is actually exactly what he wants?"

Li Maolin's vigilance towards Feng Xue increased by two levels. This young man is so scheming!
No, it's not just this young man; the sect behind him is also full of old silver coins. They specially assigned two naive bodyguards to make this young man look full of flaws, but in fact, they are trying to let people down and think that he is a wealthy and powerful person. Last night's thunder magic was probably also deliberately created to create a reckless persona... Hiss, worthy of being a major sect that once cultivated a True God-level Virtual God! What scheming!
But after thinking about it, Li Maolin relaxed again.

It’s good to be scheming!
If he wants to cheat, then let him cheat!
It’s just some secret resources, just give it to him!
Once you have survived the human tribulation, won’t you have to spit out everything you have taken?
"No, I can't be too arrogant. After all, this person is from the Shenxiao Sect. Although the Shenxiao Sect has been silent for a long time, the Jade Emperor-Heavenly Palace system it established is still widely recognized and worshipped by the people. No one knows whether 'that' virtual god is still there. If he is, even if I survive the human tribulation, I may not be his opponent..."

After adjusting his mindset, Li Maolin's mind became active. No one knew how much calculations the two of them had made in their minds during this short period of time. They only knew that when the broker was about to go back and call someone to install and debug, the two of them were looking at each other and smiling.

The broker didn't know when this man suddenly appeared, nor did he notice that one of the laborers he brought was missing. He just walked quickly to Feng Xue to report the progress, and then left the house with his men.

At this time, Feng Xue no longer cared much about the refrigerator. He just nodded and told him to do it himself, then turned his attention back to Li Maolin:
"I don't know your senior's surname?"

"I don't plan to accept you as my disciple, and you don't need to know my identity, but for the sake of convenience, you can just call me Li Xiu." Li Maolin didn't dare to gamble whether anyone would still remember his name a hundred years later, so he made up a fake name.

Feng Xue didn't take it seriously. Perhaps unless it was a famous figure he knew in his previous life, he probably wouldn't recognize him. So he just bowed politely and said, "So it's Senior Li. I'm Feng Xue, a rural cultivator, traveling and studying. I'm passing through Lucheng..."

"Heh..." Li Maolin couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard that. A casual cultivator? If all casual cultivators had such a keen eye, my grave would have been dug up long ago!
But Feng Xue himself thought very clearly. If a rich second-generation pretends to be a poor boy to pick up girls and is exposed, it is romantic. If a poor boy pretends to be a rich second-generation, it is shameless. Similarly, if he claims to be a rural cultivator, the boss will not believe him and will just think he is humble. If he is exposed in the future, he has not lied. On the other hand, if he really makes up a great identity for himself, it will be difficult to end it if it is exposed.

However, neither of them intended to delve into this issue. After both sides announced their names, they went straight into the main event.

Li Maolin had originally hoped to be emptied out, but by the time he traveled the Jianghu, the Shenxiao Sect had long since become little more than a legend, its essence of thunder magic absorbed by sects like Zhengyi and Qingwei. All he knew about the Shenxiao Sect, aside from the names of the Taoist scriptures they practiced, was the legendary "Shenxiao Yuqing King," the only top-level virtual god controlled by anyone, and its fundamental philosophy of "inner alchemy to form elixirs, external manipulation of thunder." Naturally, he had no idea what the Shenxiao Sect excelled at or needed, so he summarized his thoughts before saying:
"The methods I practice are very diverse. What do you want to learn?"

"Eternal life!" Feng Xue spat out these two words without hesitation. Li Maolin was shocked when he heard it.

"Could this kid be here for my 'Corpse Transmigration' method? But there's no reason. Although your Shenxiao Sect has a bad reputation, it's still a reputable and upright sect. You're not afraid of being beaten in the underworld after transforming into a ghost immortal. Why would you bother learning this unorthodox way that prevents reincarnation? Does he really want to learn it? Or is he testing me?"

Li Maolin thought in his heart, but said:
"The Yang God's method is the true method. No one has mastered it in hundreds of years. It's not the fault of man, but the way of heaven has changed. If you want to achieve immortality, you can only rely on chance. Even if I pass on my method to you, you may not be able to succeed."

Hearing this, Feng Xue thought to himself, "It's another story about the closer we get to the modern era, the closer we get to the Dharma Ending Age." Although he had been prepared for this when he learned that there hadn't been a Yang God for hundreds of years, he still felt a little disappointed. However, he had struck it lucky, being able to obtain resources from different worlds, so he didn't dwell on it any further and settled for the next best thing.
"Then I want to learn how to refine vital energy."

"You are sure that I am a demon cultivator, right? Even if you want to learn, you can't ask me like that, right? If I teach you directly, wouldn't that confirm that I am a demon cultivator?" Li Maolin thought so in his heart. After all, it was difficult for him to understand. Apart from demon cultivators, what else needed to be studied in the refinement of vital energy? However, he was not good at saying it out loud. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Since you've already cultivated magical powers, why are you still asking about the method of refining vital energy?"

Feng Xue also knew that this question was a bit strange, but still said:

"The inheritance I received requires the separation and refinement of the Five Elements Qi, but I have lost the details on how to do it. If you, senior, have any relevant methods, please feel free to teach me!"
