Chapter 138: Meeting the Elders
Li Muran's imperial sword stopped in front of a certain hall, then put away the talisman sword and walked into the main hall.
As soon as he walked into the main hall, he met a person, a young disciple of twenty-five or six, named Mo Yan, who had also passed the preliminary examination of the inner disciple competition, but unfortunately lost to the senior brother surnamed Qu of the same sect in the first round.
"Senior Brother Li?" The man was stunned when he saw Li Mu, and said, "Senior Brother is really a rare guest, it seems that I haven't seen Senior Brother for many years."
"Yes, how is Senior Brother Mo doing?" Li Muran said with a slight smile.
"I'm still so busy, I just hope that my luck will be better in next year's inner disciple competition" Mo Yan said with a wry smile, he glanced at Li Muran intently, suddenly widened his eyes, and said in surprise: "Senior brother's breath...... Could it be that you have advanced to the fugue stage?"
Li Muran smiled and nodded.
"Congratulations, junior brother, ah no, senior nephew should call Uncle Li. Just now, the disciple didn't know that Uncle Shi had advanced, and he was offended, so please don't be surprised" Mo Yan changed his previous expression and said respectfully. After all, the Qi Pulse Stage and the Fugue Stage are two realms, and different realms have different generations.
"No need to be polite. Li Muran saw that the other party's attitude immediately became respectful, so he also said lightly: "Can Uncle Wu, the steward, be inside?"
"Uncle Wu is in the inner hall, and the disciple has just met him. Mo Yan replied.
Li Muran nodded, signaled to the other party, and then said goodbye and walked straight to the inner hall.
Mo Yan kept bowing down to see him leave, until Li Muran disappeared around the corner of the corridor, Mo Yan straightened up and sighed softly:
"Alas, he started five years later than me, and he has already advanced to the fugue period one step ahead of me, so that he can become the existence of the fugue period like him."
Li Muran walked through the corridor and entered the inner hall, where he saw a familiar figure of an old man, who was counting piles of blank rune papers.
"Uncle Wu, don't come unharmed," Li Muran smiled and bowed.
"Ha, it turned out to be Senior Nephew Li" Old Man Wu smiled: "I haven't seen you for more than two years, Senior Nephew Li, you have advanced to the iQue Period"
Old man Wu glanced at Li Muran, and after sensing his aura, his face couldn't help but change slightly, revealing a look of surprise.
Li Muran smiled slightly: "Hehe, I was lucky, I was lucky enough to advance to the fugue stage, so I came to meet Uncle Wu and go through some related matters after the advancement." ”
In the past, Li Muran couldn't see through Old Man Wu's specific cultivation and only felt that it was unfathomable, but now that he advanced to the fugue stage, he was more meticulous in his discernment, and he could sense that Old Man Wu's aura was relatively strong, and he was a monk in the middle stage of fugue.
Old man Wu said: "Since the junior brother has advanced to the fugue stage, don't be commensurate with the old man's peers, the words of the senior uncle must not be mentioned again, if you don't dislike it, it will be enough to call the old man a senior brother in the future." ”
"Yes, Senior Brother Wu" Li Muran was not polite, even if he changed his title. This is a very common thing in the world of cultivating immortals. If there is a young disciple who has made extremely rapid progress in cultivation, from a nephew to a junior disciple, or even an uncle, it is also very possible.
Old man Wu said: "Speaking of which, Senior Brother Li is really lucky. You must know that among the inner disciples who have obtained the iQue Pill, only about 20% of the monks have successfully advanced to the iQue Stage. Another disciple of this peak, Master Qu's nephew, although he also obtained the iQue Pill, he was unable to advance
Li Muran smiled bitterly in his heart, if he hadn't had the help of the Drunken God Fruit, he might be like that Qu master and nephew, and he would not be able to successfully advance to the fugue stage.
"After the junior disciple advanced to the iQue period, there are indeed some procedures that need to be handled. Old man Wu said: "However, these procedures are not in a hurry, and it is not too late to handle them later." The most important thing right now is to meet Master."
"Yes, junior brother is here for this," Li Muran nodded.
According to the rules of the Tianshan Sect, after a registered disciple advances to the iQue Period, he will have the opportunity to meet with the elders of the Faxiang Period, and if he can be recognized by the elders, he may even have the opportunity to be accepted as apprentices by the elders. Once there is an elder in the Faxiang period as a backer, then he can be regarded as a person with a background in the immortal cultivation world, and ordinary monks like this kind of monk would not dare to provoke at all.
The rules of each peak are different, but the rules of Shangqing Peak are very simple, as long as a named disciple advances to the fugue stage, he can submit a request to meet the elder. However, whether the elders are willing to summon them or not, and when they will summon them, depends on the mood of the elders, sometimes it takes three or five months, and sometimes even a few years, before they meet the elders for a short time with other advanced monks, and they can't even say a word. In case of an elder's retreat, he may not see the elder for decades, and only after he is out of the retreat can he go with the other disciples to meet him.
Old man Wu said: "The old man took the junior brother to the master's cave mansion and reported the matter of the junior brother's advancement, as for when the master summoned him, it is difficult to say. At the beginning, Senior Brother, I waited for two years before I finally met Master, and then after more than 20 years and advanced to the middle stage of the iQue, I was accepted by Master as an apprentice to take care of Shangqingfeng's daily affairs for him. ”
"Thank you, senior brother, for your understanding, and I will wait patiently. Li Muran said with a smile.
Subsequently, Old Man Wu took Li Muran to the top of the peak in front of a large-scale cave mansion, where a large area of clouds and mist was shrouded, and the prohibition was very remarkable, it was the cave mansion of the elders of the Shangqing Peak Law Phase Period.
Out of the necessary courtesy, Old Man Wu took Li Muran here to personally ask to see Elder Feng and report on Li Muran's advancement to the Fugue Period, of course, the result was almost certain - they would not see the Elder, and the messenger would let them go back first, waiting for Elder Feng's summons.
Old man Wu took out a sound-transmitting jade talisman, said a few words respectfully, and then threw the jade talisman into the cloud and mist prohibition in front of him.
Next, the two of them waited patiently outside the prohibition, and generally speaking, within half an hour, Elder Feng would come out and answer him
Sure enough, after the two of them waited for a quarter of an hour, the clouds and mist in front of them suddenly rolled up, and a brilliant colorful spiritual light shot out from it, turning into a magnificent light ladder that went straight to the exit.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl came on a light ladder and said to Li Muran and the others, "Are you asking to see the elders?"
Although this girl was only a Qi Vein Stage cultivator, she was a person from Elder Feng's side, so Old Man Wu replied to her very politely: "It is this Senior Brother Li who is a newly advanced fugue stage cultivator in this peak, and he has come to ask to see Master."
"Hmm" The girl glanced at Li Muran and looked up and down.
Generally speaking, it is a very disrespectful move for a low-level monk to look at a high-level monk like this, if it angers the other party, it may lead to death, but this woman's identity is unusual, Li Muran naturally will not be angry, so he smiled at her.
"Come in, the elders will summon you and wait," said the maiden.
"What, Master, this is going to summon me and wait?" Old Man Wu was taken aback, and he couldn't believe his ears.
Li Muran was also shocked, he thought that he would have to wait at least three or five months to see the elder.
"Yes, quicker," said the girl, leading the way in front of her, urging the two behind her.
Old man Wu and Li Muran hurriedly climbed the light ladder, and followed the light ladder and followed the girl into the prohibition.
The maiden led them to a hall, told them to wait there, and then left.
The decoration of this hall is not very luxurious, antique, and it seems to be quite low-key, but on closer inspection, it is not only very neat and spotless, but also the patterns on the wooden chairs and wooden tables are very finely carved, which is obviously quite elegant.
"Senior Brother Li has such a big face, Master actually summoned you immediately" Old Man Wu couldn't help but say, he still felt a little incredible.
"Senior brother, don't make fun of me, maybe the elder just happens to have time. Li Muran said lightly. He also felt a little strange, he didn't have much of a famous name in the door, although he defeated the Nirvana who was shocked by the disciples, but he also relied on the many talismans, and he didn't show much brilliance. When everyone in the door talked about him, at most it was just a sentence of "skillful and well-prepared". I am afraid that this kind of evaluation will not reach the ears of the elders of the Faxiang period.
The two of them were waiting for most of the hour with some apprehension, some nervousness and some anticipation, when suddenly, an old man with a goatee of fifty or sixty years old walked into the hall.
This person's breath is not very good at first glance, but if you want to distinguish it carefully, it is simply elusive, it is the so-called restrained and unfathomable.
"Disciple to meet Master," Old Man Wu immediately bowed.
"Disciple to meet Elder Feng" Li Muran also hurriedly followed the salute, but secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that this is a master of the Fa Phase Period, it seems that in addition to his temperament and immortal style, he is not angry and arrogant, and he does not seem to be much different from ordinary monks. ”
Li Muran had never seen such a master before, and he had always had an idea in his heart, he didn't know what this kind of high-level immortal cultivator recorded in the classics would look like, but now when he saw it, he only felt quite kind, and the master of the Law Phase Period was not an eccentric person.
"Get up," said the old man with a goatee, sitting on the main seat, and smiled at the two men below him.
Elder Feng glanced at Li Muran and said, "Your name is Li Muran, you don't look very old, have you ever taken the Rejuvenation Pill, or have you practiced the exercises of Staying Facial Enhancement?"
Li Muran replied respectfully: "Elder Hui, the disciple is twenty-three this year, and he has not taken the Zhuyan Pill or practiced similar exercises. ”
"Twenty-three, well, that's good" Elder Feng nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, he looked at Li Muran carefully, and then asked, "How long have you been getting started?"
"It's been four years since the disciple started. Li Muran replied.
Old Man Wu saw Elder Feng's kind face, and took the opportunity to add: "Although Senior Brother Li has not been in the beginners for a long time, his strength is not bad. He was extremely proficient in the art of talismans, and in the inner disciple competition two years ago, he defeated a disciple of Fanjing Peak, who was recognized as the most talented, so he obtained the Fugue Pill, and then advanced to the Fugue Stage. ”
"Really" Elder Feng nodded with a smile again, he glanced at Li Muran again, and suddenly said solemnly: "Li Muran, are you willing to worship the old man as a teacher?"
