Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 6 Stupid people are stupid
Several teachers were eagerly waiting for Qingyun's selection.

Qingyun looked at Li Ji'an.

Li Ji'an's gaze passed over the seven teachers in front of him and fell on the teacher Wu not far away who was teaching diligently and seriously as always.

Fifteen years ago, when Li Ji'an entered the martial arts academy, Instructor Xiao Wu had just returned home from Xunxian Academy in the provincial capital.

He was only twenty-one years old, nine years younger than Li Ji'an at the time.

He is a native of Shangyi County and studied in this academy. However, he has average talent. Although he works hard, he failed in the martial arts examinations for two consecutive times. Finally, he was recommended by the former chief instructor of the martial arts academy to study in the branch of Xunxian Academy in the provincial capital and receive targeted training as an instructor.

After ten years of getting along, Li Ji'an already knew Instructor Xiao Wu's personality. He knew that he was a grateful person. He returned to the martial arts academy more to repay the former head instructor for his kindness.

He is introverted and taciturn, but he is extremely serious and strict in teaching martial arts.

We do not compete for fame or fortune. No matter who you are, as long as you are willing to learn, we will teach you seriously.

Even when facing Li Ji'an, who was already 30 years old and had long passed the age of practicing martial arts, he still did his best.

Otherwise, given Li Ji'an's age and physical condition at the time, even with his unsuccessful experience of practicing martial arts for a year in his previous life, it would be impossible for him to hone the "Golden Strength Skill" to a small degree, or even to complete the skin refining.

"The little Wu back then is now almost forty years old.

Time is merciless." Looking at the traces of time on Instructor Xiao Wu's face, Li Ji'an sighed slightly.

"My young friend, I value brotherhood the most. Seeing you like this, I can't help but miss the brothers of our youth. Today I will make an exception. No matter how talented you are, I will accept you as my disciple. How about it?" Seeing Qingyun looking at Li Ji'an, Ma Yuan, who was the most quick-witted, spoke immediately.

Qingyun: "..."

Master Wan: “…”

You have a beautiful thought!

"Thank you for your kindness, Instructor Ma. However, I have noticed that instructor is the most serious and stern. My master taught me that a strict teacher produces excellent students, so I choose that instructor." Li Ji'an did not want to beat around the bush, nor did he care about the faces of these people, so he went straight to the point.

"Ok?"

"Teacher Wu?"

The seven people including Master Wan looked in disbelief at Instructor Wu, who had been teaching seriously there and had not paid any attention to this place.

"Boy, do you want to choose Instructor Wu? Think about it carefully. Instructor Wu has been in the academy for fifteen years, but he has not yet taught a single disciple who passed the martial arts examination. The reason why he didn't come to choose you is that he felt that he couldn't mislead the young people." Ma Yuan laughed immediately, and looked at Li Ji'an with a mocking look.

Li Ji'an didn't care. Instructor Xiao Wu just didn't seek fame and fortune. As for why he had never taught a disciple to take the martial arts exam, it was only because there were no good seedlings. He didn't care whether the seedlings were good or not. He was truly practicing teaching and educating people and answering questions.

What's more, with Li Ji'an's experience in practicing the "Golden Strength Skill" for ten years in his previous life and having completed skin refining, and in this life he has the bones and meridians of a wild bird, and his mental strength is even stronger. Even without instruction, he may be able to achieve success in skin refining within two years and enter the Xunxian Academy in the capital city.

"I've made up my mind. I'm willing to become Master Wu's disciple."

"Okay, since it's your own choice, I can't say anything. I just hope you don't regret it." Ma Yuan said immediately.

He was willing to accept Li Ji'an only for Qingyun, a top-notch disciple with excellent talent.

Li Ji'an gave up on his own initiative, and he was happy about it. Anyway, he had already made his attitude clear in front of Qingyun.

As for Li Ji'an's talent, not only he, but also the other six instructors did not take it seriously. It is impossible that there would be no top-grade bones for two years, and then two would appear at once, right?
"Ah? Xiao Li, you..." Lao Wan exclaimed in surprise, but the next moment he changed his mind. In his opinion, the levels of several teachers in the academy were about the same, but Xiao Wu's teaching attitude and character were the best.

In addition, Li Ji'an has a wild and handsome appearance, so he will definitely pass the martial arts examination no matter which teacher he chooses.

Thinking of this, he stopped talking and looked at Xiao Wu who was still teaching seriously, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Do fools have good fortune?"

This is a quasi-immortal seedling who may very well become a great master in the future. Once he is promoted to the great master level, based on the teacher-student relationship between him and Xiao Wu... wow, he will surely rise to great heights.

"Young friend, come and practice with me." Ma Yuan stopped paying attention to Li Ji'an and stared at Qingyun. "Then I will also practice with Instructor Wu," Qingyun said without hesitation.

"no!"

"no!"

Li Ji'an and Ma Yuan said almost in unison.

Ma Yuan was unwilling to lose the achievement that was about to be achieved.

Li Ji'an was thinking that although Instructor Ma was not a very good person, he was indeed willing to invest in talented people and could get more resources. If Qingyun really wanted to succeed in martial arts, he would be more suitable for Qingyun.

Secondly, he didn't want Qingyun, a black sheep who had no intention of learning martial arts, to ruin Teacher Xiao Wu's faith.

In Li Ji'an's opinion, there is no such thing in this world where one can achieve great success without really wanting it, especially in the martial arts.

This kind of plot only exists in novels and TV shows.

No matter how talented you are, it won’t work.

After all, for anything, only if you want to do it from the bottom of your heart can you work hard for it and succeed.

But if you don’t really want to practice, even if you force yourself to practice, you won’t be able to put your heart into it. How can you succeed then?
Based on his understanding of Qingyun, this kid really doesn't want to do it even if he is beaten to death.

In this life, unless he encounters some major change that changes his mindset, he will never be able to achieve success in martial arts!
"Ah? Then... Junior Brother, who do you think I should choose?" Qingyun was unhappy, but he was used to obeying Li Ji'an's words.

After he finished speaking, the seven instructors in front of him all took a deep breath.

They never expected that this genius with superior aptitude would be so obedient to the boy next to him, and even seemed to dare not refute him at all.

"My friend, even though you will be following Instructor Wu in the future, I promise that I will provide you with some additional resources." Ma Yuan hurriedly made a solemn promise and regretted his previous bad attitude towards Li Ji'an.

The other six people looked at Li Ji'an, their eyes flashing and hinting wildly.

Li Ji'an looked at Ma Yuan, then turned to Qingyun and smiled faintly: "Since Instructor Ma values you so much, you should follow Instructor Ma to practice."

Qingyun nodded indifferently. His purpose was simple, to get away with it until the martial arts academy became unbearable and it would be best if they could drive him back.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, Qingyun, don't worry, I promise you won't regret your choice today." Ma Yuan was immediately excited.

He even walked up to Li Ji'an and nodded to him: "Don't worry, Xiao Li, if you need anything in the future, just come to me."

"Thank you, Instructor Ma." Li Ji'an nodded.

Master Wan stood aside, watching everything settled, especially Ma Yuan's cheerful attitude, and finally decided not to disrupt this harmonious scene.

Originally, the qualifications of the academy's apprentices were not allowed to be disclosed to the instructors. The purpose was to allow the instructors to treat everyone equally rather than just selecting the best candidates. However, over time, some people frequently broke the rules, and the order became a decoration.

"In that case, Xiao Wu, there is a new apprentice who will follow you to study." Lao Wan shouted to Instructor Wu who was not far away.

Upon hearing this, Instructor Wu walked over without any change of emotion.

He was already used to this kind of situation. Usually, the other instructors would choose and then give him the ones they didn't want.

He doesn't care, just treat everyone equally.

"Li Ji'an?" Wu Cheng looked at the list handed over by Master Wan, and his memory paused slightly.

Then a trace of memory crossed his usually serious face.

"What's your relationship with Li Jichang?"
