Chapter 48: You and I Are Fated

  Wang Qiuzi smiled a few times, glanced at the young man's waist and saw an oval-shaped jade pendant exposed, and secretly estimated its value, which made him take a breath.

  They are a royal family who have been merchants for generations and also have jade business in their own home.

  It's naturally recognizable, the young man's waist jade pendant is smooth and lustrous all over, and the light it reflects is as soft as diluted sheep's milk, obviously a top-grade Hetian jade. The common saying "as condensed as sheep fat" refers to this kind of jade pendant.

  He was also the son of a wealthy family, I don't know if he was spoiled by his elders at home, but he even dared to have extravagant thoughts about the little princess of the Dragon King in the sea.

  Really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.

  The young man was slapped by Wang Qi, raised his head and muttered a few words reluctantly, but ultimately did not want to reveal his identity and endured it. He entwined Wang Qi and said: "Immortal Master, why don't you be my guarantor and also help me learn the Tao on Mount Cui?"

  Wang Qi curiously said: "I see you're also a rich kid, what's the point of going to Lao Mountain to learn Taoism?"

  The young man was taken aback, and didn't know what reason he had to go learn the Tao. He could only shake his head and say: "I just heard that immortals are carefree in the nine heavens, without any constraints, so I want to learn magic too, to gain freedom."

  Wang Qi didn't quite understand: "Freedom, what's that supposed to be?"

  The young man glanced at Wang Qi and sighed, saying: "Forget it, you wouldn't understand anyway."

  Wang Qi's eyes rolled back in anger, and he snorted, turning his head away to coldly laugh: "You don't say it but I understand, you also want to learn some immortal family spells, then go to the mortal world to show off your skills. In the end, if you get a good deal, you can also have food to eat."

  The young man shook his head and said, "It's not that I want money, I can pile it up like a mountain of gold and silver; if I want to eat, no matter what it is, it will appear on my table. I just want to rely on myself to prove that I can do it!"

  Wang Qi was about to refuse when Xuan Kong suddenly spoke up and said, "Young man, you have a predestined relationship with me. Are you willing to accept me as your master?"

  The young man's eyes lit up when he heard this, but Wang Qi's jaw was about to drop in shock.

  If it's said that the master and apprentice are compared, most people would think the master is more formidable. However, Wang Qi knew in his heart that within the entire Mt. Lingtai Sect, no one could surpass Xuan Kong's cultivation.

  If it were said that the old Taoist master had taken a young man as an apprentice, Wang Qi would not be surprised at all. After all, the old Taoist master's desire to make the Laoshan Sect flourish was not something new.

  As long as you are willing to come to Lao Mountain, as long as you are willing to pay homage to the master, as long as you are a living person who can move and breathe.

  One eyebrow is long and hateful, can't help but want to take in all the hair.

  But Xuan Kong was different, his own skills were greater, and his vision was naturally higher. To say nothing of others, even the masters and brothers of the Luoshan Sect couldn't enter Xuan Kong's eyes. He himself didn't know how many high incense sticks his ancestors had burned.

  Just then, Master Miao looked at him with a hint of approval and agreed to take him along on his travels around the world. The other masters, although they had often spoken ill of Xuan Kong in front of the old Daoist master,

  But as for having the opportunity to receive personal guidance from Xuan Kong himself, who knows how many people are secretly envious.

  "Wang Qi stuttered: 'Eldest Senior Brother, I didn't hear that wrong, did you? You want to take this young master as a disciple?'"

  Xuan Kong nodded and said, "This young man has a fate with me." After finishing speaking, he fell into silence again. According to his own calculations, this young man indeed had a master-disciple relationship with him.

  It's just unclear whether it's because of one's own inaccurate calculations or if the heavenly mechanism is inherently chaotic.

  This master-disciple relationship still has half of it shrouded in mist, vaguely visible and full of variables.

  But he also calculated that if he wanted to make the Luoshan Sect prosperous, there would be a great opportunity for this young man in the future. Thinking of this, Xuan Kong also became tense and looked at the young man again, asking him another question:

  "Little brother, you and I, Xu Kong, have a destined connection; are you willing to become my disciple?"

  He tempted: "I am the founding master of the Lao Mountain Sect, if you bow to me now, in the future you will be my first disciple and receive the respect and worship of thousands of disciples." Xuan Kong had no doubt that he could make a big career for himself.

  Who can traverse, which one is not with great luck, each making a shocking and earth-shaking career?

  My own requirements are not high, I just want to make Lao Mountain sect prosperous and glorious, is there any reason why it can't be done?

  No matter how others see it, Xuan Kong himself believes in it, he has absolute confidence in himself. If this young man really worships himself as a teacher, then from now on, he can also enjoy the glory of being the first disciple of the third generation of Lao Mountain Sect.

  Nor does he know how the ranking of the third generation's first disciple, Xuan Kong, was calculated. Don't forget that his own nominal title on Mount Lu is actually that of the third generation's eldest disciple.

  Except for the founder of Lao Mountain Sect, One-Browed Daoist, the sequence of Daoist titles in Lao Mountain Sect is: Wu Xuan Tong Sheng.

  His Taoist name was demoted from the "Wu" generation to the "Xuan" generation, and according to reason, his disciples should be ranked as the fourth generation of the "Tong" generation. Wang Qi counted on his fingers, calculating back and forth, but still couldn't figure out which generation the Xuan Kong disciples belonged to.

  Young people originally wanted to escape the pressure at home, and upon hearing that Xuan Kong was willing to accept them as apprentices, they were overjoyed.

  "But you can't be my master, it will bring big trouble."

  Xuan Kong looked at the young man and said with a raised eyebrow, "What trouble? I, Xuan Kong, have never been afraid of trouble. If there's trouble, then let's solve it!"

  The young man listened to Xu Kong's impassioned words, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart. He shook his head and said, "My father... my father dislikes sect disciples." He bit off the word "father", speaking through gritted teeth.

  Xuan Kong was curious and asked: "What did your father say about the disciples of our sect?"

  The young man said: "My father, my father said that the disciples of the sect do not engage in production and only know how to be brave and fight fiercely. In this chaotic world, more than half of the reasons for the chaos fall on these rough men." Xuan Kong listened and burst out laughing, saying:

  "What your father said about those people, they are ordinary people in the secular world. Our Cui Mountain Sect is a fairy family sect. The immortals among us travel to the North Sea in the morning and stay at the Cangwu Mountains in the evening, touring all five lakes and four seas within a day, making friends with the stars in the sky and accompanying the Lord of the Underworld, don't know how happy it is!"

  Wang Qi bit his fingernail on the side, secretly thinking in his heart: "Big Brother Master is bragging a bit too much, I've also been to Lao Mountain for several months, how come I didn't feel any of these?"

  But then he thought again, the master's cultivation and magical powers were far beyond his own, who knows how many times stronger. Maybe he could do these things after all? Although that was what he thought, Wang Qi himself didn't dare to believe that Mount Meng Sect could really cultivate such a person.

  He didn't know that what Xuan Kong said was true. Every single thing he did personally, and only then would he spread the word to young people, but after all, he didn't know how young people would respond, and in his heart, Xuan Kong also had some expectations.
