Chapter 7: Chapter 7: The Master's Goal
When Xu Mu saw this, he secretly spat out his tongue and didn't dare to speak any more, but he could also see that although Liu Yan seemed strict, he was actually quite good to his disciples.
So even though he was much bolder, he did not dare to contradict his master.
Liu Yan, on the other hand, was once again deep in thought as he rubbed the grayish ring in his hand and said, "This Five Elements Spiritual Fixation Ring was made by imitating the method of the ancient treasures, and I can't understand the power of the Heavenly Dao contained in it.
"But according to the teacher's speculation, if you can wear in, in the same level of cultivators will certainly no longer have an enemy, unfortunately, this wear in, your five senior brothers but all perished because of it, is really the teacher's fault!"
Said Liu Yan picked up the wine gourd again and poured a big mouthful of wine into his mouth, staring at the circle in his hand and stopped talking, Xu Mu did not stop him this time.
Vaguely, he seemed to see that there was still a hint of tears at the corner of Liu Yan's eyes, but before they could flow down, they were vaporized by his spiritual power.
For a former JieDan stage cultivator to cry, Liu Yan was clearly a man of heavy emotions.
Since Xu Mu was young and had never experienced the farewell of life and death, his feelings were not deep, so he could only comfort him, "Master, relax, some senior brothers in heaven will see this treasure come to fruition in greatness, and I'm sure they will be able to fulfill a wish.
"Hehe, great success, if this treasure is really great success, that would be good," Liu Yan smiled bitterly as the corner of his mouth twitched and said.Could it be that the refining of this treasure has failed?" Xu Mu asked in surprise, "This treasure had devoured five new lives, and it still failed to refine them in the end?
Could it be that it wanted to devour this JieDan level master cultivator before it could be considered satisfied?
"Saying it's a failure is not quite the same thing," Liu Yan said as he gave Xu Mu a strange look and asked, "Xu Mu, do you know why I took you as my disciple?"
When Xu Mu heard his master's name change from Firewood Zi to Xu Mu, he immediately froze for a moment and respectfully said, "I don't know!"
Liu Yan looked at Xu Mu and said in a calm tone, "Five Spirit Roots, can be considered the lowest type of Spirit Root qualification, the cultivation speed is extremely slow, even with my help, you have no hope of establishing the foundation in this lifetime.
"But on the contrary, this Five Spirit Root Fixing Ring, is that it requires a person with all five elements to be able to use it, you say, this so-called Heaven's Way, isn't it fooling my teacher?"
As he spoke, Liu Yan's complexion became slightly manic, as if he was about to go crazy, but fortunately, he eventually controlled himself.
After spending about ten years, sacrificing the lives of five disciples, and cultivating an entire great realm, just to get a result like this, anyone would go crazy.
Any other cultivator with a weak mind would be afraid of going crazy at this point.
"This ... "Xu Mu froze when he heard this, it turned out that the reason why Master said that the refining of the Five Element Spiritual Fixation Ring was not considered a failure was because it actually required a cultivator with all five elements to be able to use this ring.However, he understood why the elder brother who had sent himself to the Red Flame Peak earlier was in a daze: with a trashy qualification like his, he could actually be taken under the tutelage of a Peak Lord.
In addition, this First Peak master was also a master refiner and had once been a JieDan level cultivator, so his wealth and status were certainly not comparable to an ordinary Foundation level cultivator.
Adding all these conditions together, it would be strange if he wasn't confused when he heard that Liu Yan was sure that he wanted to take Xu Mu as his disciple.
As for the master Liu Yan in front of him, Xu Mu didn't know how to comfort him, any words of consolation would pale in front of such a huge blow.
Fortunately, Liu Yan was able to cultivate to the JieDan stage, his mind was still firm enough not to do something like pointing at the sky and cursing, and he was only lost in thought for a moment before coming back to his senses.
Just to see his face, he resolutely said to Xu Mu, "Xu Mu, if you really worship me as a teacher, I only have one condition, as long as you reach the fourth level of qi cultivation in all five elements within five years, I will fully assist you in successfully building your foundation.
"If you fail, after five years, I will forcefully raise your cultivation to the fourth level of qi cultivation using the method of immersion, but after that, you will lose all your cultivation, and there will be no possibility of cultivation, but I will guarantee you honor and wealth for life.
"This is not a small matter, think about it for a night before you make a decision, those caves over there are all left behind by your senior brothers, you can just choose any one to live in."
Xu Mu listened on the side, his heart was immediately mixed, the teenager's mind was hard to accept so many things for a while, and immediately froze on the side.Liu Yan seemed to be waiting with some impatience and asked, "Do you have any more questions?"
Only then did Xu Mu come to his senses and respectfully asked, "May I ask Master, if I decide to worship you as my master, what are the chances of me fulfilling your requirements within five years?"
"Chances? Fifty-fifty, I guess, it depends on your efforts," Liu Yan stroked his chin and said slowly.
"In that case, I am willing to become a disciple of Master!" said Xu Mu, kneeling directly on the ground and kowtowing to Liu Yan three times.
Seeing this, Liu Yan was stunned at first, then he laughed and helped Xu Mu up from the ground, saying, "Good disciple! I really didn't look at the wrong person! From now on, I will definitely do my best to help you cultivate!"
The master-disciple duo looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
However, Xu Mu's eyes contained a hint of apprehension in addition to the excitement.
Agreeing to worship Liu Yan as his master had both the bloodlust of a teenager and Xu Mu's own deep thoughts.
From Liu Yan's words, one could hear that with his full help, Xu Mu's advancement to the fourth level of qi cultivation was only 50-50, which was enough to see how poor the qualification of the five Spirit Roots was.
If he didn't worship Liu Yan as his master and instead joined the outer sect, whether he would be able to cultivate to the fourth level of qi cultivation in his own lifetime would be a matter of two words.Even if he didn't reach the fourth level of qi cultivation after five years, Xu Mu would only pay the price of losing his cultivation, but he would be able to trade it for a lifetime of fame and wealth, which the teenager who had lived in the mountain village for more than ten years didn't dare to think about.
No matter how you looked at it, worshipping Liu Yan as a teacher was definitely a sure thing.
If Liu Yan had known that his two conditions were so tempting to Xu Mu, he probably wouldn't have said that.
In the eyes of an expert like Liu Yan, worldly wealth was nothing more than a passing cloud, and only the improvement of one's cultivation was something that was eternal and indestructible.
These thoughts of the master-disciple duo were naturally unknown to everyone, and that night, Xu Mu stayed in the cave of his former fourth elder brother, Feng Yi, and agreed with Liu Yan to start cultivating the next day at dawn.
In the middle of the night, in his sleep, Xu Mu dreamed that he had failed to reach his master's conditions after five years and was expelled from the master's school, but he returned to the mountain village in an eight-seater sedan chair, dressed in gold and silver in a very generous manner.
Until the next morning was familiar with the sound of the bell woke up, Xu Mu this only hastily wiped the saliva at the corner of the mouth, cleaned up to see the master to go.
