Chapter 9: Becoming an Apprentice (2)
Pang Hai was taken aback by Chang Sheng's question, and after thinking for a moment with his head bowed, he shook his head and said: "Then I don't know either. I've never heard of anyone on the Qingyun continent having a four-line physique, let alone a five-line physique. However, the world is vast and full of wonders, who can say for sure?"
The two of them chatted about some other Taoist knowledge and agreed to have dinner together the next day. Changsheng then left Pang Hai's courtyard and headed towards his own courtyard.
All the way, Chang Sheng would think about his own physical problems. Arriving at the front of his courtyard, he took out his identity waist card from his waist and pressed it against the indentation on the courtyard gate. The green light flashed, and the light covering the gate disappeared. Chang Sheng pushed open the door and entered.
This is a defensive formation that can prevent the master from being disturbed during cultivation, leading to a small array of entering madness. If you use violence to break the formation, an alarm will sound, and the outer gate elder guarding this area will arrive at any time.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Changsheng saw a figure standing with his back to him. Changsheng's eyes narrowed and he turned to look at the gate that had just been opened.
"Go close the gate of the courtyard, I'll wait for you inside." A voice echoed in his mind, although Chang Sheng saw that figure flash by and enter the house.
Changsheng knew that this person was the old man who had passed down the Jade Scepter to him. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and closed the courtyard gate, then activated the formation on the side, and a green light rose up, enveloping the entire courtyard within it.
When Chang Sheng walked into the room, he saw the old man sitting on his bed with a majestic air, his eyes shining brightly as he sized him up. He nodded repeatedly.
The old man smiled and said: "Although you are young, your mind is quick-witted. Sit down, I know you have many questions that you want me to answer."
Chang Sheng bowed to the old man, sat down neatly in the chair and asked: "I don't know, senior, why do you want to pass on the 'Swallowing Heaven Golden Body Secret' to me?"
"Because I want you as my closed-door disciple, to inherit my legacy!" The old man said warmly.
The closed disciple! When he heard this word, Changsheng's eyes lit up and then returned to calmness. The suffering of the illness for nearly eight years had tempered Changsheng's heart into a strong and unyielding one. It also made him possess a calmness and composure that far surpassed his peers!
The Way of Heaven is impartial! When you give out something, it will give you what you deserve in return!
"Unperturbed by glory or shame! Calm and composed! Very good. You already possess the demeanor of a strong person!" The old man said with approval, seeing Chang Sheng's expression.
"Why would the seniors choose me as their closed-door disciple?" Chang Sheng didn't ask about the old man's cultivation, possessing the "Swallowing Heaven Golden Body Technique" - a powerful technique that defied heaven. A person with such a technique couldn't possibly be weak.
"Because you possess an enviable Five Elements physique. Because I, Yan Long, do not yet have a disciple to inherit my mantle. With this regret in my heart, it is impossible for me to successfully pass the Third Heavenly Tribulation!" Yan Long said gently.
Cross the third heavenly tribulation?! Upon hearing this, Changsheng's body trembled violently! His heart was in turmoil! The person before him was actually an extraordinary expert on the verge of crossing the tribulation and ascending to the realm of immortals!
