Zuo Ci carefully observed Ding Huai's face, which was faintly hiding the embarrassment he was feeling. He realized that Ding Huai only had ten years to live, and his life was already at its end. However, after going through the Phase Transformation, a new life was born. Although he did not know why he would regain life after going through the Phase Transformation, he could see that the new life force was very strong. It was just that it could not fuse with his current master's body, which was why he was in such a long sleep.
If the person who had undergone the transformation did not wake up within 100 days, the new life would be burned out again, and they would be considered dead. Zuo Ci thought that there were only three people in this world who could awaken the transformation of the appearance, and they were his teacher, Nan Hua, and Daoist Brother Yu Ji. It was truly a great blessing for him to meet this kid.
In the past, he only knew the method and had never really used it, so Zuo Ci was only fifty percent confident. However, if he failed, Ding Huai would definitely die immediately. Zuo Ci was also very conflicted. He wanted to find Nanhua or Yu Ji, and if they worked together, they could be a reminder or help. However, it was not easy to find the two of them in more than two months. If this was delayed for too long, it would be even more difficult to save Ding Huai. After much consideration, Zuo Ci had no choice but to give up on this idea and prepare to rely on himself.
Thus, Zuo Ci, who had made up his mind, began to cast spells on Ding Huai. He carefully recalled the method to awaken the transformation of the other party's appearance before he began to treat him. Actually, the method was very simple, but one had to be accurate in recognizing the acupoints. The strength of the attack had to be skillful, and it could not be heavy or light. After about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Zuo Ci completed the treatment. However, he was already sweating profusely and was mentally and physically exhausted.
Seeing that Zuo Ci did not use any medicine and only massaged a few acupuncture points for a while before patting his forehead a few times and ending the treatment, and that Zuo Ci seemed to be so tired that he was sweating profusely, Ding Yuan and his wife were very surprised, but they did not dare to say anything for fear of offending the Taoist priest.
What kind of person was Zuo Ci? How could he not know what the two of them were thinking? He barely suppressed the extreme fatigue in his heart and laughed loudly. He said to Ding Yuan and his wife,"Provincial Governor, you don't have to worry. Your son will wake up tomorrow morning. I will disturb you for the night to resolve your worries.”
Ding Yuan's old face turned red when Zuo Ci exposed his thoughts. He hurriedly said that he did not dare to. Actually, when Zuo Ci said this, he did not feel confident. He was not sure if he could succeed, so he could only wait until 12 hours and see what the situation was. Therefore, after Zuo Ci bade farewell to Ding Yuan and his wife, he followed the servant to the residence that Ding Yuan had arranged for him with an uneasy heart.
That night, Ding Yuan and his wife tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. They were filled with anticipation, worry, and excitement. Overnight, they actually got up and went to Ding Huai's bed to check on him a few times. When they saw that Ding Huai's face was gradually turning red, they gradually relaxed and went to sleep in peace.
At this moment, besides Ding Yuan and his wife who could not sleep, Zuo Ci was the same. Although he was meditating, he could not remain calm. On the one hand, he was worried about whether he could succeed. On the other hand, he was hesitant about whether he should accept Ding Huai as his disciple if he could wake up. This person must have undergone a transformation in his appearance and bones. According to the people who had experienced the transformation in the past, Ding Huai would definitely have the appearance of an emperor.
If he accepted Ding Huai, it would definitely delay his cultivation for several years and affect his cultivation. If Ding Huai were to leave the next day, even though Ding Huai had undergone the Transformation of Appearance and his bones had been modified, it would be difficult for him to become an emperor without his help.
After thinking about it, Zuo Ci could not make up his mind. Later on, he thought that the world was about to fall into chaos and needed such a person to save Shimin. If he accepted Ding Huai and taught him, he would be able to end the troubled times as soon as possible. Not only would he be able to benefit all living beings in the world, but it would also be a test for his own cultivation.
Thus, Zuo Ci made up his mind to take Ding Huai as his disciple. At this moment, the sky was already slightly bright, so Zuo Ci calmed down and closed his eyes to meditate for a while.
At seven in the morning, just as Zuo Ci had said, Ding Huai woke up on time.
Ding Yuan and his wife were overjoyed, and they worshipped Zuo Ci as if he was a god. Zuo Ci could finally relax, and he could not help but sigh in relief. He thought to himself,'I've never felt so miserable in my decades of practicing medicine.' Since it was settled, Zuo Ci, whose heartbeat had just calmed down, took the opportunity to propose to Ding Yuan and his wife the idea of taking Ding Huai as a disciple.
Ding Yuan and his wife couldn't be happier. For their precious son, many teachers had been angered and ran away. Now, someone volunteered, and it was a sage-like and extremely capable cultivator. How could they not agree?
Ding Yuan did not even think about it and agreed on the spot. He was afraid that Zuo Ci would go back on his word again.
Thus, Zuo Ci stopped his travels and stayed in Jinyang for four years to teach Ding Huai his skills.
After Kong Yuan woke up, he slowly learned some things about Ding Huai from Chun Xiang and Qiu Yue. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. This provincial governor's son was simply a little devil. His personality was thousands of miles away from his. No wonder everyone looked at him so strangely when he stopped his mother from scolding Chun Xiang and Qiu Yue the day before yesterday. If it was the Ding Huai of the past, he would definitely fan the flames and add oil to the fire, wishing for the world to be in chaos.
However, if this continued, everyone in the residence would definitely discover that he was an imposter. Even if the people in the residence could not see anything after the peep show was exposed, how could they hide it from Ding Huai's biological parents? Moreover, if he were to act according to the original Ding Huai's personality, he was afraid that he would not be able to learn it.
However, he couldn't tell Ding Yuan and his wife that he was from the future. He had been reborn in this era because of the guidance of a Taoist priest, and for some reason, he had entered the body of his son. Not only would this not have any effect, but the Ding Yuan couple would think that their brains had been injured.
Just as Ding Huai was racking his brains and could not think of a solution, he heard a servant bring the news that Zuo Ci wanted to take him in as a disciple.
Kong Yuan was so excited that he almost jumped out of bed. However, he was afraid that the servants would find out, so he had to forcefully suppress the excitement in his heart.
This was great. Not only could he use this opportunity to easily change his personality and get through this, but Zuo Ci was also not an ordinary person. He was one of the three great immortals during the Three Kingdoms period. Since he was accepted as a disciple, he would definitely be able to learn a lot of skills. Moreover, his father was Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. In this chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, he was afraid that he would not be able to achieve great things in the future. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, I, Kong Yuan (later called Ding Huai), am here. Just you wait. I want to meet all of you one by one.
After officially acknowledging his master, Ding Huai began to learn from Zuo Ci.
Zuo Ci looked at Ding Huai. The embarrassment on his face had long disappeared, and the image of an emperor had begun to take shape. He secretly nodded and said with deep meaning,"My skills came from an incomplete book, the Divination Heavenly Book. Later, I received the permission of the Old Immortal Nanhua to study under him. With decades of hard work, I have completed the Divination Heavenly Book and improved it to a higher level than the original book. I have divided my skills into nine types, namely martial arts, zither, medicine, military, array, Divination, physiognomy, politics, emperor, and weather. Each skill requires a year to master, but you and I only have four years of master-disciple fate. I can only teach you four skills.”
After hearing Zuo Ci's words, Ding Huai's brain began to spin rapidly. In the Three Kingdoms Era, although his subordinates had to recruit a group of powerful generals sooner or later, in this era of cold weapons, they had to be on guard against assassins 'attacks, battles on the battlefield, and various other situations. A superb martial arts was indispensable, so this martial arts had to be learned.
The medical skills of the Three Kingdoms Era were extremely undeveloped. Even though there were Godly Doctors Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, and the others, it was just a drop in the bucket for the huge Darkhan Dynasty. Moreover, people like Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai died early because their medical skills were undeveloped, so they had to learn medical skills.
The era of the Three Kingdoms was chaotic. If one wanted to achieve hegemony, they would have to spend half of their lives on war. Moreover, it was impossible to rely on their strategists for every war. The importance of the art of war could be seen from the three magnates of the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao was well versed in the art of war, so he almost won every battle. Compared to Liu Bei and Sun Quan, they were much more bleak, so the art of war was also something that had to be learned.
Also, how could he not learn the most important art of becoming an emperor? Since he had already come to the three kingdoms, he had to end this chaotic world as soon as possible, establish a unified country, and ascend to the throne. As an emperor, he had to understand the art of being an emperor. Otherwise, how would he manage his ministers and govern the country in the future? Therefore, he had to learn the art of being an emperor.
As for zither skills, array formations, physiognomy, and power tactics, although Ding Huai also wanted to get involved, he was still very clear about the priorities.
