It was unknown whether the scene in the dream was too terrifying or for some other reason, but Jiu Xuan, who had always been used to sleeping in, woke up early. Opening the door, Jiu Xuan took a deep breath and exhaled the foul air that had accumulated in his chest for the whole night. He felt very comfortable.
At this moment, he happened to meet Mr. Jiang, who was walking toward him. Seeing that he was full of energy, Mr. Jiang felt relieved. He heard him say," Disciple, did you get used to last night's sleep?"”Jiu Xuan looked at him and bowed to him. He said,"I slept very well last night. I've troubled Master to worry about me."”Looking at his polite appearance, Mr. Jiang felt a sour feeling in his heart. He thought to himself, Looks like he still hasn't let go. I wonder when he'll be able to untie this knot in his heart.”As she thought about it, she could not help but sigh.
As he thought about it, Jiu Xuan couldn't help but think of the time when his grandfather had called him to wake up to look at the morning sun, but he had covered his head with the blanket and refused to get up. For a moment, he felt his heart suffocate and he felt very uncomfortable. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
At this moment, Mr. Jiang took his hand and said to him,"Silly disciple, I'll take you to have breakfast."”Hearing this, Jiu Xuan only felt very confused. He could not help but ask,"Master, didn't I eat the Fasting Pill?" Why do you still need breakfast?" Mr. Jiang pulled him along and said," Silly disciple, the fasting pill can indeed help you not to be hungry, but its main function is to allow you to cultivate better when you are in seclusion. Also, you should avoid taking in impurities when you eat food to avoid polluting your Dao body. You should know that too many impurities in the body are harmful to your future cultivation.”
Jiu Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard what he said. He said helplessly," Since there's no benefit to it, why did Master take me to have breakfast?"”Mr. Jiang looked at Jiu Xuan and laughed," My disciple, we cultivators value the word 'Dao'. This word can be the Heavenly Way, the Human Way, or even the Evil Way. However, all methods are one, and in the end, they all lead to the same goal. The only difference is that the process is a little different. The reason why I brought you to have breakfast is to remind you that you are still a living person, so as not to desolation your heart. On the other hand, it is because the breakfast is specially prepared for you and will be of great benefit to your future cultivation. Do you want to go or not?”
Jiu Xuan scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly,"Of course I'll go."”Seeing his expression, Mr. Jiang shook his head helplessly. Just as Jiu Xuan was about to ask where to go for breakfast, Mr. Jiang said to him very seriously," Have you really thought about walking the path of Dao Cultivation? If you knew that once you started, there would be no turning back. During your cultivation journey, you would encounter heavenly thunders, karmic fires, and all kinds of disasters to obstruct your Dao path. Once you made a mistake, you would be eternally consigned to eternal damnation. However, this was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that you had to face a vaster world and an even more sinister human heart.”
At this moment, Mr. Jiang turned around and smiled at him.”Jiu Xuan raised his head and looked at the building in front of him. Compared to the other buildings in the Taoist temple, it seemed extremely simple. There were no Dao patterns flowing around it, and it did not have any shocking appearance. It stood there like that. The bluestone material seemed to tell its long history.
After Jiu Xuan entered the room, he found that there were very few things in the room. There was only a black table and two dark red chairs. There were also a few paintings of mountains and rivers hanging on the wall. The few decorations made the room look very simple.
Mr. Jiang pointed at the chair in front of Jiu Xuan and gestured for him to sit down. Jiu Xuan looked at the empty table and couldn't help but be in a daze. He thought to himself," What happened to breakfast? Do you want me to eat the table?"”Just as he was thinking about it and couldn't help but want to complain, he saw Mr. Jiang wave his hand, and a bright light flashed on the table. When the light dissipated, Jiu Xuan saw that the table was filled with cutlery and food that he didn't recognize.
Jiu Xuan swallowed hard as he smelled the fragrance of the food. A smile appeared on Mr. Jiang's face. He suddenly looked at Jiu Xuan seriously and asked," Are you sure you want to be my disciple?" You must know that I might not be able to teach you what you want. All I can do is plant a seed in your heart. As for whether it will grow into a wild flower or a towering tree in the future, it will depend on your own efforts.”
Hearing this, Jiu Xuan curled his lips and said,"Whether I become a dragon or an adult depends on myself?" It seems very challenging. I like it. Besides, I've already called you Master so many times. Wouldn't it be a loss for me to retreat now?”As he spoke, he stood up and was about to bow to Mr. Jiang. Seeing him like this, Mr. Jiang said,"Our lineage doesn't pay attention to these superficial formalities. Sit down first."”
"Since you're officially my disciple, then it's necessary for me to introduce myself and the Green Cloud lineage. My surname is Jiang and my name is Wen. I'm not very famous among cultivators, and because we live in the Clear Sky Temple, we call ourselves the Clear Sky lineage. However, we have always had very few disciples, just like the two of us in this generation.”
Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Jiu Xuan couldn't help but stare blankly." Master," he asked," why don't you accept more disciples?"”Jiang Wen shook his head and said slowly," The Green Cloud lineage takes in disciples based on fate. If you are fated, you can enter the sect. If you are not fated, you will not be accepted no matter how talented you are."”Jiang Wen's words puzzled Jiu Xuan. He couldn't help but ask,"But if that's the case, won't it be difficult for our lineage to accept disciples?"?”
Upon hearing this, a hint of arrogance appeared on Jiang Wen's face. He said," The reason why we have such harsh rules is because our Green Cloud lineage has a high status. The consequences of accepting disciples indiscriminately are unimaginable.”"High status?" Jiu Xuan asked doubtfully.”Seeing him like this, Jiang Wen couldn't help but be amused by him. He said with a smile," Silly disciple, don't doubt me. The Green Cloud lineage doesn't worship immortals and gods, nor do we respect the devils of the myriad worlds. We only worship the Dao in our hearts. This is also the reason why I don't let you bow. In the future, you have to remember that you don't have to bow when you see statues of immortals and gods.”
Jiu Xuan nodded suspiciously, indicating that he understood. As for whether he believed it or not, he did not know. Jiang Wen was about to say something when he heard Jiuxuan's stomach rumbling. Jiang Wen shook his head and said," Let's eat first. I'll teach you the cultivation method tonight and give you a gift." Eat more of this food. It was not easy for me to get this. It has the effect of strengthening one's body and nourishing one's qi.”
Hearing this, Jiu Xuan ate even faster. Jiang Wen looked at Jiu Xuan wolfing down the food and a smile appeared on his face. He held the chopsticks in his hand as if he was thinking about something. At this moment, Jiu Xuanyi raised his head and saw Jiang Wen staring at him blankly. He couldn't help but blush and whispered," Master, you should eat too."”
Jiu Xuan's voice seemed to have brought him back to his senses. Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment before he said," Yes, I'll eat too."”The dishes on the table were cleaned by the master and disciple. Jiang Wen looked at Jiuxuan, who was rubbing his belly, and said,"I didn't expect you to eat so much."”Jiu Xuan looked at the empty plates on the table and said without blushing or jumping,"That's because the food you cook is too delicious, Master."”
" What do you want?" Jiang Wen smiled evilly. Jiu Xuan couldn't help but shiver when he saw Jiang Wen's smile. He asked subconsciously," What do you want?!"”"My dear disciple, do you still want to eat this kind of food in the future?" Jiang Wen asked kindly.”Jiuxuan felt the warm current flowing through his body. He knew that Jiang Wen was right when he said that the food would be of great benefit to him. He thought about the delicious taste and slowly said," Of course I do."”
Hearing Jiuxuan's words, the smile on Jiang Wen's face grew wider." Do you see the house opposite?" he asked.”Jiu Xuan nodded to show that he had seen it. Jiang Wen then pointed to a well between the two houses and said to him," Do you see that well?"”Without waiting for Jiuxuan's reaction, Jiang Wen continued," My dear disciple, take these plates to the room opposite to wash them later. If there's no water, just go to the well and get some water."”
As he spoke, Jiang Wen was about to walk out of the house. Jiu Xuan looked at his back and asked in a daze,"Then what are you doing, Master?"”Jiang Wen waved his hand." I asked you to wash the dishes to improve the relationship between us master and disciple. I'll go prepare a gift for you."”
