My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 44 I Don’t Have to Participate in the Finals
When Xu Mo heard Elder Ouyang's voice, he quickly turned around and saluted him respectfully.

Just about to ask about the old Taoist.

Lin Miaoqing behind him said to him at this time, "Junior brother, I'm leaving first. I'll come to play with you when I have time."

Hearing this, Xu Mo turned around and saw Lin Miaoqing waving at him, then turning around and running away.

Judging from her cheerful steps when she left, she was obviously in a good mood at the moment.

He didn't look shocked at all.

It seems that as she said, she has long been accustomed to it.

Looking at her departing back, Xu Mo subconsciously wanted to reach out, but he controlled himself.

Elder Ouyang, who was standing aside, looked at the direction where Lin Miaoqing left and asked:

"Is that the disciple of Ye Taishang?"

Xu Mo was slightly stunned when he heard this, "You know?"

Elder Ouyang nodded. He seemed to see the curiosity on Xu Mo's face, so he took the initiative to introduce him:
"Ye Taishang is one of the people with the highest cultivation level in my ancient world.

The reason why our ancient world can rest easy despite being surrounded by powerful enemies is mainly because of his existence.

It's just that he usually comes and goes without a trace, and his temperament is rather... innocent and natural.

Therefore, very few people can see him.”

Having said that, Xu Mo looked at Elder Ouyang and saw that his face stiffened slightly. It seemed that he had been searching in his mind for a long time before he could come up with those two words.

To be honest, this was the first time in such a long time that he saw such an embarrassed and conflicted expression on Elder Ouyang.

It seems that the old man's personality is really hard to describe.

Finally, Elder Ouyang concluded, "In short, Ye Taishang is a true cultivator of the Tao. You are lucky to have met him."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, looked at Xu Mo in silence for a while, and then slowly said:

“Although I don’t like those messy things, but if you are Ye Taishang’s disciple.

It would be nice if you could get closer to her.

Perhaps it will be of benefit to you in the future."

Xu Mo's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that these words came from Elder Ouyang's mouth.

It seems that you don't dislike socializing, it's just that the other person is not strong enough.

I didn't expect you to be such an Elder Ouyang.

What puzzled him was that he had always been by Elder Ouyang's side.

Although the two do not have the official status of master and apprentice, the way they get along is basically the same as that of master and apprentice.

I can't figure out why he would say that.

However, Xu Mo thought that it might be because the old Taoist was too powerful, so he didn't think much about it.

Then he asked curiously, "Then, Elder, have you ever heard of the way that the old Taoist...Ye Taishang accepted disciples?"

Elder Ouyang raised his eyebrows and said, "I know."

Xu Mo was stunned. Looking at the expression on the other person's face, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you find it strange?"

Elder Ouyang looked at him puzzledly, as if he couldn't understand why he asked such a strange question.

When Xu Mo saw this reaction, he was speechless. Am I the weird one?

He quickly shook his head and asked with some reluctance:

“No, the reason why Ye Taishang accepted Junior Sister Miaoqing as his disciple was because he flew out that day without even setting foot outside.

Then Junior Sister Miaoqing was one of the thousand and first disciples he saw that day.

That's why I accepted her as my disciple.

It’s not because of talent, understanding, luck or anything like that.

The old Taoist said at the time that he wanted to take me in as his disciple, but in the end he didn't know which foot he walked out of the door first that day.

And then because when he saw me, it was singular.

Because of this reason, they didn't accept it. Isn't that strange?"

Elder Ouyang looked at Xu Mo, who was excited and somewhat self-doubting, and was silent for a moment.

Then he sighed, "So there is such a thing. It seems you don't have that blessing."

No, is this the issue I was discussing with you?
Why can't you understand?
And as for the Taoist priest’s unreliable appearance, are you sure this is a blessing?
Xu Mo was furious and took a few deep breaths.

Elder Ouyang looked at Xu Mo's reaction, sighed helplessly, and explained:

“As for the reason for accepting a disciple, isn’t this quite normal?
There is a difference between recruiting direct disciples and recruiting disciples for the sect, and there are no specific standards.

People who practice cultivation do what they want, and everyone has different requirements for their disciples.

Some people will set strict selection criteria; some people like to examine character; and some people just take a closer look in the crowd, or because of a certain word or action.

The reasons behind this are so bizarre and mysterious that it is hard to describe them.

To sum it up in one sentence: it depends on your mood.

When I am in a good mood and want to take in a disciple, I will accept even a stray cat or dog on the street.

Otherwise, even if they pass all the tests, if they don’t like it in the end, they will be eliminated for all sorts of strange reasons.”

Xu Mo remained silent after hearing this.

Well, it seems that I am the weird one.

"Then why did he not care about Junior Sister Miaoqing after accepting her as his own?"

Xu Mo told Elder Ouyang about Lin Miaoqing's experience.

Elder Ouyang was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he said hesitantly:

"Perhaps Ye Tai Shang has his own deep meaning behind this."

Although he said this, his tone did not seem very confident.

Obviously, he had some doubts in his heart.

When Xu Mo saw Elder Ouyang's reaction, he knew that his guess was most likely correct.

This is simply because the Taoist priest is unreliable and there is no mysterious or profound meaning behind it.

There was no particular reason, his intuition told him that this was the truth of the matter.

Of course, even so, he would definitely not say it out loud, nor would he interfere in the matter.

What if this was really arranged by Master Ye?

After all, no matter how unreliable Taoist Ye looks, he is still one of the strongest people in the ancient world.

He couldn't fathom the thoughts of such a person.

He felt that perhaps the sect leader and the elders of the sect should think the same way.

Maybe they also knew that Ye Laodao was unreliable, but because of the other party's cultivation level.

Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, he would not dare to interfere in Lin Miaoqing's practice.

That's why he ordered other fellow disciples in the sect not to teach Lin Miaoqing how to practice.

Just as he was thinking about this, Elder Ouyang asked him to put the portrait away and said:
“We can’t predict the future of a person like Ye Taishang, so let everything take its course.

Let’s go back first.”

After saying that, he turned and walked towards their experimental field.

Seeing this, Xu Mo followed silently.

After arriving at the experimental field, he first greeted Old Man Wanmo and Ji Cangsheng.

Then Elder Ouyang said to him:
"The finals will be held a month after the Dao Domain Tournament, so you can proceed as usual during this period."

Xu Mo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that what happened at the Shennong Conference had not yet been reported.

So he explained, "My disciple no longer needs to participate in the finals."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man Wanmo beside him shouted with an extremely exaggerated expression:
"Hehehe, you weren't eliminated, were you?"
