My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 5 I control the water thief

Yi An was not surprised to hear Xu Mo's reply. In his mind, Junior Brother Xu was a natural spiritual plant master, so how could he miss this rare opportunity?

He nodded to Xu Mo and said, "Leave it to me."

Then he seemed to have thought of something, and reminded hesitantly:
"But you have to be mentally prepared, Junior Brother. Elder Ouyang has a bad temper. If you work under him, you might get scolded often."

Xu Mo shook his head upon hearing this and replied seriously, "It's a blessing for me to be able to meet a big shot like Elder Ouyang. What does being scolded mean to me?"

Yi An nodded and said, "In that case, Junior Brother, please make preparations first. I will come here to find you in three days, and we will go directly there then."

After saying that, he drank the spiritual tea in the cup, then stood up, greeted Xu Mo, and turned to leave.

……

Three days later, Xu Mo met Elder Ouyang.

He was an old man with a very recognizable appearance.

He had a bald head, a pointed nose, and a somewhat fierce look in his eyes. He wore a black robe casually draped over his body.

There is a feeling that when you see him, you will feel that he is definitely not a good person.

When Xu Mo followed Yi An in, Elder Ouyang glanced at him, and immediately made him feel a chill as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

Elder Ouyang just glanced at Xu Mo and then turned away. He then slowly turned his head and looked at Yi An and asked:
"Is this the person you recommended?"

Yi An nodded and introduced to Elder Ouyang enthusiastically:

“Old man, let me tell you, Junior Brother Xu Ran is different from me. He is a true seeker of truth and a genius born to be a spiritual plant master.

Believe me, you will never regret accepting him."

Elder Ouyang snorted in disdain, "What kind of decent person do you know? A seeker of truth? Do you even know what a seeker of truth is?"

Yi An became anxious when he heard this, and retorted indignantly:
"It doesn't matter if you look down on me, old man, but Junior Brother Xu is different. He, he..."

At this point, Yi An was at a loss for words. He really didn't understand what a seeker of truth meant.

But when I think about the sincerity in Junior Brother Xu’s eyes when he asked me about the philosophy of life a few days ago, I can tell that he is a seeker of truth.

However, he couldn't say this, but he couldn't find any other reason to refute it.

He was so angry that he was a little crazy, and said loudly: "In short, Junior Brother Xu is a very special person. You won't understand, old man."

Xu Mo watched the conversation between the two and thought to himself that it seemed that the relationship between the two was very unusual. No wonder Yi An could guarantee him so confidently.

When Elder Ouyang heard Yi An's words, he sneered without comment and did not argue with Yi An.

Then he took out a jade slip from his arms and threw it into Xu Mo's hand, saying a word concisely: "Do it."

After saying that, he pointed to the wooden table beside him, on which were placed writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

Seeing this, Xu Mo immediately understood that this was a test for himself.

Xu Mo was not surprised by this. He took the jade slip and sat down at the wooden table. Then he placed the jade slip between his eyebrows. Suddenly, a lot of information flooded into his mind.

Because he has not yet broken through to the stage of nourishing the spirit, he can only read the contents on the jade slip and cannot answer directly on the jade slip, so he can only write the answers on paper.

There are quite a lot of questions above, a total of three hundred.

These are all questions about the basics of spiritual plant masters.

This was not difficult for Xu Mo. The accumulation of several aliases allowed him to deal with it calmly.

It’s really tiring to write so many words at once, and what’s even more tiring is that I have to use a brush.

Xu Mo couldn't remember how long he had been writing, but when he finished answering the last question.

Even those who have already perfected their Qi training can still feel their hands going numb.

When he respectfully handed the thick stack of answers to Elder Ouyang.

The other party just glanced at it lightly, then nodded, "All correct."

This made Xu Mo feel complicated. He had worked so hard to write for so long, but Elder Ouyang only needed to scan it with his spiritual sense.

Although this was due to Elder Ouyang's realm being too high, it also showed how convenient it was to have spiritual awareness.

I really want to break through to the stage of nourishing spirit!
As he was thinking this, he discovered that Elder Ouyang was staring at Yi An with a scrutinizing look.

Yi An also reacted at this time, and immediately said angrily:

"Hey, hey, hey, you're not suspecting that I leaked your test questions in advance, are you? That's a bit insulting.

I've already told you, Junior Brother Xu was born to be a spiritual plant master. Now you believe it, don't you? "

In fact, Yi An didn't expect Xu Mo to be able to answer all the questions correctly. He originally wanted to help Xu Mo just because he said he loved the profession of spiritual plant master, so that he would not give up because of what others said.

I never expected Xu Mo's foundation to be so solid.

Yi An also understood the difficulty of the old man's questions. He knew that even he couldn't get all the answers right.

And doesn't Xu Mo, who can do everything right, highlight his vision even more?

Thinking of this, Yi An couldn't help but raise his head and chest, and his eyes looking at Elder Ouyang suddenly became fierce.

Elder Ouyang simply ignored Yi An's proud peacock-like posture.

He turned his head, looked at Xu Mo, and slowly said, "How is your mastery of the Cloud and Mist Water Control Technique?"

Xu Mo replied respectfully: "I understand a little bit."

Elder Ouyang hummed, nodded, and said, "Follow me."

After saying that, he turned around and took Xu Mo and Yi An to an open space.

Then he looked at Xu Mo and said, "Spirit Heart Grass."

Xu Mo was slightly stunned, then he reacted and realized that this was another test.

So he directly used the "Cloud and Mist Water Control Technique" to raise a dark cloud in front of him.

Then a fine mist floated out from the clouds.

The trick to watering Lingxin grass is to soak the soil with dew first, wait for a while, and then water it with drizzle.

After seeing that he had finished, Elder Ouyang said the name of a spiritual medicine with an expressionless face.

"Purple cloud vine."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo controlled the rain to transform into a thin water dragon that flew up into the air and fell.

When it was halfway down, the water dragon split into several other water dragons, like a winding mountain road.

The tip for watering purple cloud vine is to only water the vine branches and not the leaves.

"Golden Grass."

"Flower of All Souls."

"Purple Sun Fruit."

……

Afterwards, Elder Ouyang listed the names of dozens of spiritual plants.

Every time, Xu Mo controlled the "Cloud and Mist Water Control Technique" and demonstrated the watering techniques for each spiritual plant.

It took more than a day just to demonstrate these techniques.

Yi An, who was standing by, was stunned.

He widened his eyes, staring at Xu Mo, and said with emotion:

"Junior Brother Xu, you have given me a big surprise.

This ability to control water alone is enough to surpass most disciples.

Not to mention the level of understanding of each spiritual plant.

As expected, I was not mistaken. Junior Brother, you were born to be a spiritual plant master in my lineage."

After saying that, he winked at Elder Ouyang, as if to say, "I didn't lie to you this time, did I?"

Xu Mo bowed to Yi An and said, "Senior brother, you are too kind. I am still far from your level."

Before Yi An could reply, Elder Ouyang spoke first.

He said in a firm tone, "Let it be as it is. Don't engage in those empty talk and hypocrisy."

Xu Mo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he said tentatively, "Senior brother is right, I am very good at controlling water."

Elder Ouyang hummed softly, and said in a slower tone, "Not bad, stay."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo quickly bowed and thanked him.

At this time, Yi An on the side coughed dryly and was about to say something to Elder Ouyang.

Elder Ouyang seemed to have anticipated this and waved his hand impatiently at him, "Just do what you need to do."

Yi An was not angry when he saw this. He smiled, greeted Xu Mo, and turned around and left.

Xu Mo bowed to Yi An's back before looking at Elder Ouyang.

Elder Ouyang waved to Xu Mo, "Follow me."
