Chapter 264: Apprenticeship, Second Generation Apprentice
Frost began to fall in October, and Ji Ming had already stayed in the cave for more than a month. During this period, in addition to building the "Baotao Xianshou Altar", he also taught Linggu.

In addition, we learned from the old ape that the two boys who had served him in the Tougu Garden had been sent to the major sacred mountains in the Qun Yu Fang to seek immortality and visit famous teachers because they were getting older and had to work harder in the cave.

This little episode only made Ji Ming sigh slightly, and he soon focused his attention on Ling Gu.

At present, Linggu has already mastered the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head" and has just broken through to the second level of Qi Refining. She is slowly advancing at the hurdle of "Six Roots Vibration" in the early stage of the second level. This level requires opening up the three yang meridians of the hands and feet, a total of 218 acupoints.

With Ji Ming's psychological intervention, Ling Gu finally plucked up the courage to become the master's second disciple Su Su's apprentice.

That’s right, at this stage of breaking through the second realm, Ling Gu still hasn’t succeeded in becoming a disciple, and hasn’t learned any real skills. If Ji Ming doesn’t intervene, Ling Gu’s future can be imagined.

In Susu's garden, Ji Ming and Yuan Lao were both there, as well as Taoist Chun Hong from Nanyang Temple on Zirong Peak.

Susu was sitting in half-lotus position on a stone that looked like it had been exhaled. Her left calf was lowered and her right calf was bent on the stone, showing that she was in a relaxed mood.

Linggu knelt down below with her hands clasped together.

Ji Ming and Yuan Lao are on the left. Ji Ming is standing upright with a bottle in his hand, his eyes closed as if he is resting. Yuan Lao is sitting on the ground, grooming his hair.

Taoist Chunhong was on the right, with disheveled hair and old clothes. His eyes moved between Linggu and Ji Ming, and finally stopped at Ji Ming.

"Auntie Ling, I have watched you grow up since you were a child. We are as close as sisters. I have not accepted you as my disciple for many years. Firstly, I want to temper your character, and secondly, I am looking for a famous teacher for you."

Su Su glanced at Jin Tong who had his eyes closed, and then said, "I told you many years ago that I would never accept a disciple before he reached the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm. Now this Taoist priest Chun Hong is a high-level Dragon and Tiger Master of the Huangting Palace, and he is the perfect choice for a famous teacher."

Taoist Chunhong withdrew his gaze from Ji Ming, looked at Ling Gu and nodded slightly.

“I came to this mountain and settled in Nanyang Temple on Zirong Peak to pass down the Dao. I now have three disciples, all of whom are virtuous people.

Ling Gu, you can first be guided by my three disciples to familiarize yourself with the sect rules and scriptures of Huangting Palace, as well as the precious repentance for eliminating disasters. Later, I will teach you the true method of the palace, the "Huangting Neijing Sutra."

When the Taoist priest finished speaking, he looked at Ji Ming opposite him, as if waiting for him to make the decision.

"Fellow Daoist Chunhong, please don't look at me. Today, it all depends on Ling Gu's own will."

"Since ancient times, it has always been the master who chooses the apprentice, but I have never seen an apprentice choose the master." Taoist Chunhong said to himself, but he did not delve into it. He was a quiet and inactive person and did not care about such details.

“Haha~” Taoist Chunhong waved his hands and said: “Fellow Taoist, you can just call me Chunhongzi. Forgive me for offending you. I have observed the acupuncture points all over your body, including the twelve meridians, and they all have the internal scene of empty space.

I am very curious, I wonder what kind of inner view magic you have cultivated?"

Ji Ming knew that the Huangting Neijing Sutra of the Huangting Palace was also about cultivating the spirit within the body, but that spirit was the will of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, water, fire, frost and ice, not a strong man or a god. What he did was to unite the heaven and earth without and the spirit within, to connect all the orifices and transform the inner scene.

According to Ji Ming's understanding, it is similar to the concept of "domain".

Ji Ming opened his eyes and looked at the Taoist priest Chun Hong, the Dragon and Tiger Master of Huangting Palace, and said, “How did I learn the inner scene method? It’s just to fill the 566 acupoints with strong men.

Because of the spirituality of the warrior I cultivated, all the orifices were affected by their spirituality, which gave the Taoist friends the feeling of 'wind coming out of nowhere'. "

"I see, I've learned a lesson."

"Sister Susu." Linggu clasped her hands together devoutly before Susu's sitting stone and said, "This time I come here for the last chance. If I cannot become your disciple, I will go to the Luoyin Lake in Tianqing Grand Hall and participate in the entrance test set up by Tianhe Peak in Taiping Mountain."

Ji Ming's eyes moved. It seemed that Ling Gu was not just meditating in the cave, but also thought about her future.

"Why so?"

Susu sighed softly.

Ji Ming knew he had to say something to allay Su Su's concerns.

From a long-term perspective, it would be most beneficial for Linggu to take Susu as her master. Taiping Mountain will soon be in turmoil, and it would be a disaster rather than a blessing for Linggu to rush over now.

"Lingu grew up in the cave and has long regarded Huoxu Cave as her home. Why don't you accept her and teach her the true method so that she will not waste her time in cultivation now. As for her daily practice, I believe she can solve this problem on her own."

"Junior brother, you know that's not what I meant."

Su Su was about to say something else, but the old ape who had just finished grooming her hair spoke up, "Jin Tong's master Fei Huzi only taught him in the cave for a few days. He was able to learn on his own, so how could Ling Gu not be able to do the same? Su Su, I know you did this to be able to concentrate on one thing, but blindly pursuing it will only cloud your mind and make you inferior."

"Susu is learning."

Sitting on the stone, Su Su sat cross-legged, first made hand gestures to greet the old man, then looked at Ling Gu and said solemnly: "Ling Gu, everyone has said it, and you know the consequences in your heart."

Ling Gu was overjoyed and said, "Master, I understand."

"Okay, I will now accept you into the Huoxu Cave. After you bathe, burn incense, and perform the disciple ceremony, I will teach you the Shining Sun Sutra."

Taoist Chunhong clapped his hands and greeted her, in a carefree and natural manner, without any grudge against Ling Gu for not accepting him as his disciple. He then patted the bag on his waist, took out a pill, and said, "This is the Earth-opening Pill of the Four-opening Pill. It has a complementary effect to the secret skill "Sitting on the Ground" learned in Huoxu Cave."

"Chun Hongzi has a noble character and is worthy of respect."

Ji Ming praised.

If it were him, even if he was invited by a close friend to become his disciple, if he was treated as insignificant, he would always feel a little uncomfortable and would not give the elixir to him.

Jun Hiroko waved her hand in a friendly manner and said, "No, no, it's just that everyone's fate is different. How can such a thing be forced?"

While the two were talking, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, followed by a ray of light falling and hanging in Linggu's hand.

Ling Gu was frightened by the sudden change and hurriedly waved her hand. Suddenly, a sword light of several feet in length swirled around and when it reached behind Ji Ming, she was fixed by his powerful grasping hand. Only then did everyone see the magic sword in the sword light.

Ji Ming said in a deep voice: "Aunt Ling, why don't you thank Master for giving you the sword?"

Ling Gu's eyes moved, she was inexplicably happy, she waved her hand, the sword returned to her hand, and then bowed and said, "Thank you for the sword, Grandmaster!"

The master's voice rang out in the garden, saying, "Counting it all, Linggu, you are also my second-generation first disciple. You need to walk the path of the Tao step by step in the future."

"Yes, Master."

Linggu stood up and stood obediently beside Ji Ming, her heart beating wildly. She thought that if her brother had not spoken up and dispelled Sister Susu's doubts, her fate would have been very different.

Once upon a time, he and his brother lived in a cave, but now, their lives have changed and their fates are closely related to this place.

Bathing, burning incense, and performing the disciple etiquette in the garden, everything was witnessed by her brother. Linggu felt that the joy of life could hardly surpass this moment. In the vast world, she had a brother to protect her and also had her own place.

A few days later, Linggu was sitting in her own hut, with the newly acquired commentary book of Zhaori Zhenjing still in her arms.

Outside the inn, there are two newly assigned boys and the transformed demon Longxu General waiting for her call at any time. Inside the inn is her new supply of cultivation materials for this month, including pearls, fine rice, pills, and tranquilizing incense.

As he raised his hand, the magic sword fell into his hand, icy cold and slightly heavy.

She was a little at a loss for a moment, and subconsciously thought about how she would deal with it if her brother got all this. Although she had no idea, her heart calmed down.

Ling Gu knows how much she gains and how much she will bear, and she is no longer a weak person.

"Fanlang Mountain!"

Outside the house, Longxu looked at them with his terrifying eyes and said, "The most important thing for you now is to learn the true method, master the secret skills, and use the magic sword to the level of "stretching and contracting as you wish, dancing with the sword and jumping balls". Then you can go to Fanlang Mountain to hone your skills and kill people."

"kill?"

“If you don’t kill people, your skills are not refined, your sword is not sharp, and your law is not pure.

Of course, if you want to feel better, you can think of it as conquering demons and monsters.”

Ling Gu looked thoughtful, then said seriously, "Thank you, General Longxu, for your guidance."

"My life is in your hands. You need to trust me or not trust me. What's more, you need to be on guard against me. This is your brother Jin Tong's purpose. Let us fight each other painfully and exhaustingly until I can break free of the restriction or you can make me completely convinced."
