I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 967 Apprenticeship
After seeing Qingyao off, Li Ming immediately rushed to Luoyue Peak where Elder Chang lived.

Luoyue Peak is also a fairy mountain with abundant spiritual energy. Moreover, Elder Chang is a bit eccentric, has few maids under his tutelage, and she herself is not on the peak all year round. It is really a good place for cultivation.

After crossing the golden bridge and the waterfall, Li Ming landed on a square made of solid white marble. At that moment, the moon was bright in the sky. The ground of the square was spotless, reflecting the moonlight like waves. Li Ming was fascinated by it for a moment.

A moment later, a charming maid came forward. She was as beautiful as a fairy, with a red lotus under her feet. When she saw Li Ming, she said.

"My master is waiting, Brother Wuxin, please follow me."

Li Ming had no objection. He walked forward and followed the maid's magic. After a while, he flew to the door of a palace. After all, he was an elder of the Luo Zhenxian Sect. No matter how low-key he was, the magnificence of his appearance was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

This palace is almost made of jade and is carved with countless exquisite patterns. Even if a brick falls into the mortal world, it would be enough to be regarded as a family heirloom. There is a pool of clear water in front of the palace. There are several green lotus flowers growing in the water. The shallow red buds have not yet opened, and two or three fish are swimming in it. The various colors complement each other, and there is an indescribable beauty.

The maid pointed the direction to Li Ming and then retreated. Li Ming also bowed politely in front of the door.

"Disciple Wuxin requests to see the elder."

Li Ming's voice was clear. Just as it was uttered, he heard the sound of bronze bells and jade chimes coming from somewhere, and a woman in a blue and white palace dress walked slowly towards him.

But I saw that her skin was as white as cream with a few red spots, the stars and the moon were shining in her eyes, and her lotus steps were swaying lightly and charmingly, as if she was a fairy descended from heaven to the mortal world.

This outfit is several times more beautiful than the one she wore during the sect's competition. It highlights her otherworldly and independent temperament, making her look like a fairy in heaven, Li Ming thought.

"If I weren't so knowledgeable and experienced, I would have fallen head over heels for Elder Chang today."

Then he bowed to Elder Chang and said, "Disciple greets Elder."

Elder Chang smiled slightly and said softly, "No need to be so polite. Let's go into the hall."

"How dare I not come in." Li Ming also smiled and then stepped into the hall.

After the two of them sat down, a maid served them spiritual tea. After taking a sip, Li Ming just said something out of habit.

“Good tea!”

"Where's the good?"

Unexpectedly, Elder Chang suddenly asked a question in return, leaving Li Ming speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Elder Chang covered his mouth and smiled, saying, "You are so sharp-tongued in front of the ancestor, but why are you so clumsy in front of me?"

"Elder, I'm so sad." Li Ming sighed repeatedly.

Seeing Li Ming like this, Elder Chang said seriously: "Forget it, forget it, I won't tease you anymore. I called you here because I have something to ask you."

"Elder, just ask," Li Ming replied. "You've been a disciple for a long time, but you've never sought a reputable teacher. Now you're ranked first among the Ten True Disciples, yet you still practice alone. What are your plans?"

Elder Chang's voice was clear and ethereal. It was not some magic spreading at this moment. The texture of the voice could be felt even more when they were face to face.

But Li Ming was not a person obsessed with sex. He knew that this was the key point, so he looked thoughtful and said.

"I came to you with my skills. I already have a profound Taoist heritage. I just admire Luo Zhen's name and the guidance of the master, so I came to the East China Sea to become your disciple. I never thought."

"Ask the master for guidance?" Elder Chang's eyes flashed with a strange look, and then he asked, "What have you thought about?"

Li Ming also went along with it and said, "Back then, I met a senior master who gave me a token of trust. He said that once I became Luo Zhen's disciple, someone would come to take me in as his apprentice. But for some reason, three years have passed and no one has come. I didn't want to go against the wishes of the senior who showed me the way forward, so I haven't accepted him yet."

Hearing Li Ming say this, Elder Chang showed some understanding, and then said: "What token? Let me see it."

Li Ming also followed suit and took the wine glass that Situ Zui had given him.

As expected, Elder Chang's eyes stopped wandering the moment he saw the cup. He stared at it for a long moment, as if something had occurred to him. He then sighed and said, "I had some inkling of it when you came out of retreat to the competition, but I wasn't entirely sure when you activated the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Cosmic Formation. Now that I see you today, it's definitely him!"

Li Ming saw it clearly. It was obvious that Situ Zui and his elder Chang had a story that had to be told. Of course, Li Ming was not very interested in such trivial matters.

It is just a story about a single man and an ageless goddess, at most mixed with some conceptual issues between transsexuals, multiple people, good and evil, and the orthodox Xuanmen and the unconventional practitioners.

Seeing that Li Ming didn't ask, Elder Chang also flashed back from his recollection and said to Li Ming, "I'm afraid Situ Zui wants you to become my disciple. Let me see your foundation."

Li Ming was honest, as he had already established his status as a first-grade elixir master, so he was not afraid of any problems. Following a gentle and feminine force, Elder Chang's expression changed slightly and he nodded.

"Although this old drunkard is a bit off-key, I'm afraid I made the right decision by asking you to worship me. If I'm not mistaken, the foundation of your magical power should be two energies, one yin and one yang, which you cleverly combined to create the 'Liang Yi Yuan Magnetic True Light'. Am I right?"

Li Ming nodded and said, "Elder, your vision is spot on. When I began my cultivation, my master cultivated the power of the Taiyin. I inherited this method and cultivated the power of the Taiyin as well. However, I later realized that solitary yin cannot flourish, and solitary yang cannot be born. By chance, I inherited the Great Sun Fire Method, so I dared to try it. It was also Senior Situ who saw my foundation in power and pointed the way for me, allowing me to become Luo Zhen's disciple."

Elder Chang nodded and said, "That's right. Our sect has thirty-six true teachings and tens of thousands of Taoist methods. Although they may not be as profound as the orthodox Xuanmen, they are still very broad. He asked you to come to me, and he found the right person. The method I practice is the 'Taiyin Bingpo Hanguang'. You originally entered the Tao with Taiyin, so it is most appropriate for me to guide you."

Having said this, Li Ming did not doubt him and quickly bowed and said, "Master, I beg you to have mercy on me and accept me as your disciple."

Elder Chang smiled and said softly, "Get up quickly. You know, with your current magical power and status, countless people will be vying to take you in as my disciple. This isn't necessarily a good thing, is it?"

Li Ming simply said, "If it weren't for Senior Situ's guidance, I wouldn't know where to practice now, and how could I have achieved what I have today? Since this is Senior Situ's intention, then I will obey."

For some reason, when Elder Chang heard Li Ming mention Situ Zui, her expression looked a little strange, but fortunately she was silent for only a moment before making the announcement.

"Okay, in that case, from now on, you are my founding disciple!"
