My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 16 I didn't realize you were so narcissistic before

A few days later, Xu Mo, who had stabilized his realm, came to Elder Ouyang.

Elder Ouyang glanced at him and said with a hint of surprise, "Are you resting?"

Xu Mo nodded and responded respectfully, "I was lucky enough to get some opportunities."

Elder Ouyang did not ask any further questions and seemed not to care at all.

Then he took out a jade talisman and threw it to Xu Mo.

After Xu Mo took the jade talisman, he looked at the other party in confusion.

Elder Ouyang simply said, "Key."

"Where are you from?" Xu Mo asked.

"Study." Elder Ouyang replied without even raising his head.

Xu Mo was a little shocked when he heard this.

He had stayed with Elder Ouyang for so long, so he naturally knew where the study room he mentioned was.

All that Elder Ouyang had learned in his life was stored there.

It can be said that the weight of the key in his hand is enough to drive all the disciples of Lingmiao Peak crazy.

Even those disciples who usually fear Elder Ouyang like a tiger will still do so.

After all, Elder Ouyang just looks fierce and scary.

But in the profession of spiritual plant master, he is a true master of his generation.

Now, all the knowledge that a master has learned throughout his life is just open to him?

Although he had already got the key, Xu Mo still felt a little unbelievable in his heart.

Could it be that I misunderstood?
Maybe the elder just wanted me to help clean up.

After all, he is still Elder Ouyang's Taoist child.

Things like cleaning the room are naturally the job of a Taoist boy.

However, Elder Ouyang has always done these chores himself.

Maybe the elder was in a bad mood today and didn't want to clean, so he gave the key to himself.

If this is true, and I misunderstood the other person's thoughts and secretly looked through his collection of books, the consequences would be terrible.

When Xu Mo thought of Elder Ouyang's terrifying face when he got angry, he suddenly felt a shudder all over.

In order to avoid this situation, he quickly confirmed with the other party,
"Elder, do you want me to tidy up the study?"

Elder Ouyang raised his head gloomily, staring at him as if he were a fool.
"Have you become stupid from practicing? Of course, if you want to sort it out, that's fine. I've given you the key anyway, so it's up to you."

Xu Mo's face was embarrassed, but after getting the confirmed answer, he was suddenly happy.

But he was still a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why did the elder suddenly give the key to the disciple?"

Elder Ouyang glanced at him and said, "Your cultivation was not enough before, so you couldn't learn it even if I gave it to you.

Now, that’s enough.”

Xu Mo looked confused. Is this what he wanted to ask?

So he could only helplessly ask again, "What the disciple means is, isn't that what you, Elder, have learned throughout your life?

Is that how you passed it on to your disciples?"

Elder Ouyang raised his eyebrows and asked with a puzzled look:
"Isn't that the reason why that brat recommended you here?"

"Ah?" Xu Mo widened his eyes.

He naturally knew that the brat Elder Ouyang was referring to was Senior Brother Yi An.

Having been here for so long, he already knew the relationship between the two.

Senior Brother Yi An is the great-grandson of Elder Ouyang.

But, that's it?
This answer seems to be different from what I expected.

Elder Ouyang frowned when he saw Xu Mo's reaction, "Why? Isn't that the case?"

Xu Mo quickly shook his head and explained:

"No, I was just a little shocked. I originally thought it was due to other reasons."

"What's the reason?" Elder Ouyang was a little curious.

Xu Mo's ears flushed, and he said at a loss, "My disciple's spiritual field has yielded some results. I originally thought that you, Elder, thought that I was a promising talent, so..."

Elder Ouyang had a strange expression on his face, as if he had just met him. "I didn't realize you were so narcissistic before."

"Ah this..." Xu Mo hesitated.

As expected of Elder Ouyang, his words always hit the nail on the head.

Then he heard Elder Ouyang continue:
“I’ve seen the work in your spiritual field, and it’s indeed a very spiritual idea.

However, there is no final result yet, and the answer is still uncertain."

Xu Mo nodded in deep agreement. This was indeed the case. Research must be rigorous.

"but……"

Elder Ouyang paused for a moment and said, "Just looking at the process, it can be seen that you are indeed a promising talent.

Especially your personality and attitude, I am very satisfied.

Otherwise..."

He didn't say the rest.

When Xu Mo heard this, he suddenly raised his head.

After all these ups and downs, hearing Elder Ouyang's words again made him feel flattered.

Then Elder Ouyang continued, "Because of this, that brat has rarely judged someone correctly. I will do my best to satisfy him."

Isn’t this still because of Senior Brother Yi An?
It's that simple.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding.

When Sanyuan Zhenren talked about Elder Ouyang's experience before, I really thought it was just as he said.

Elder Ouyang saw the potential of a spiritual plant master in himself.

Then I want to train myself so that I can help him fulfill his lifelong wish.

When he heard what Sanyuan Zhenren said, he believed it to be true.

I was struggling internally as to whether or not I should impulsively bring out some of the knowledge from my previous life.

Now you don’t have to worry about it.

It’s not because of what happened today.

But he figured it out, just as Elder Ouyang said, research must be rigorous, and all those things from his previous life are still uncertain now.

In this case, it is better to study it slowly by yourself.

Once you have the answer, consider giving it to the other party.

But then again, since Elder Ouyang is only doing this because of Senior Brother Yi An.

Doesn't that mean that I was taking the blame for the rumors that were spread in the sect before on behalf of Senior Brother Yi An?
But forget it, if it weren’t for Senior Brother Yi An, I would never have been able to get the key from Elder Ouyang.

Xu Mo shook his head with some relief. There was no need to think too much. He just needed to follow his own plan and pace and slowly achieve his ultimate goal.

Then he bowed solemnly to Elder Ouyang.

Elder Ouyang gave him the key, which means that although they were not master and disciple in name only, they were master and disciple in reality.

Can this be done just by a word from my great-grandson?
Haha, I thought he was fierce, but it turns out he's a tsundere.

Xu Mo smiled secretly and chuckled, then took the jade talisman and walked towards the other party's study.

Elder Ouyang looked at his back, nodded with satisfaction, said nothing, and continued to busy himself with his own affairs.

……

There are many collections in Elder Ouyang’s study.

Some are jade slips, and some are paper or other rare copies.

This is very interesting.

This is clearly a world of cultivating immortals, and there are jade slips that can record information.

However, most monks still prefer to use paper, bamboo slips, jade brocade, animal skins, stone slabs or even other strange things to record.

Xu Mo looked around curiously.

Then randomly open a book that looks a bit old-fashioned.
