Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 415 Who can withstand this?
Master Mao stared intently at Hong Xuanji's hand.

A moment later, Hong Xuanji hid the wine gourd in his hand into his sleeve.

Master Mao's gaze then fell on Hong Xuanji's sleeve.

Seeing that Hong Xuanji's sleeves seemed to be burned through by his gaze, Chen Xu stepped forward at the opportune moment.

At the same time, he took out a second gourd from his storage bag.

The second gourd of wine was naturally to be presented to Master Mao as a gift for becoming his disciple.

Chen Xu raised his hand to brush the dust off his sleeves, and bowed respectfully, saying:

“Master, this wine is called Drunken Spirit Wine. I have nothing else, but this Drunken Spirit Wine is the only thing I can offer.”

Since we have a senior apprentice, we should naturally have a master as well. This isn't exactly a formal apprenticeship ceremony, but rather a way for the master to pass the time. I hope the master won't find it offensive.

He stood in the hall, his figure as graceful as a jade tree, offering the Drunken Spirit Wine with both hands.

His words were calm and clear, carrying a touch of ancient elegance, shining like the bright moon and stars.

Master Mao's burning gaze abruptly shifted from Hong Xuanji's sleeve, and he was stunned for a moment.

He wondered if he was hard of hearing. Right, what did he just hear?

"Since there's a senior brother, then naturally there must be a master too?"

That's right, that's exactly it!
Master Mao originally had the idea of ​​taking on a disciple out of his love for talent.

As for the disciple's temperament and character, Master Mao didn't really know.

He wasn't in a hurry to find out.

Such a talented and virtuous person, now that I've encountered him, I should naturally take him in first.

And if any problems arise later, there are ways to deal with them.

But Master Mao never expected that the real Chen Xu was like this—

He said: If there are senior brothers, then there must be a master as well!
Tell me, which master could withstand such a statement?
Good, good, good! This is his good disciple.

Chen Xu's disciple is of pure heart and first-class character; he is the best person in the world.

Master Mao laughed heartily, raised his hand to take the wine gourd offered by Chen Xu, and his burning gaze no longer looked at Hong Xuanji's sleeve.

He said repeatedly, "Good, very good. How could I, your teacher, refuse such a kind gesture from my beloved disciple?"

My good disciple, I'll accept this wine. Don't worry about the apprenticeship ceremony; our Shenji Sect doesn't have any formal apprenticeship ceremonies.

On the contrary, your teacher will definitely give you a wonderful gift!
Come, come, come…

He hung the wine gourd on his waist with his hand behind his back, and then stretched out his palm, revealing a wonderful magical artifact that looked like light golden quicksand.

The magic weapon looked light and small, and when he held it in his palm, it was as if it were nothing. When folded, it was only three inches long and wide.

At first glance, it's really hard to tell what it is.

At this moment, Chen Xu heard Zhou Hou hissing and gasping behind him.

Does Zhou Hou recognize this object?

This item is definitely extraordinary!
Sure enough, Master Mao said, "Good disciple, this item is called the Seven Star Golden Ring Armor, which is a magic treasure-level inner armor."

You can then refining and binding it to your own body so you can wear it close to your skin.

Although it is as light as a feather, it can at least withstand a fatal blow from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator thanks to its material.

If your cultivation level is high enough to infuse it with true essence, the protective power of this treasure will last even longer.

This item is impervious to common water and fire. Wearing this armor will increase your absorption of spiritual energy by at least half a percent during your daily cultivation.

At this point, Master Mao paused slightly.

He glanced smugly at Hong Xuanji, his expression reserved.

The palm-leaf fan beside him didn't need to be held by him; it automatically floated to his side, making a whirring sound.

Zhou Hou exclaimed in surprise at the opportune moment:

"The Seven-Star Golden Ring Armor, Ancestor, you really have a grand vision. This was the first inner armor-type magic weapon that you personally crafted when you first reached the Nascent Soul stage."

It is said that all the spiritual materials used in this armor were obtained by the ancestor himself, who went deep into the Gate of Calamity to slay demons and refine minerals.

Back then, when the sect leader took Senior Brother Shao as his disciple, he wanted to exchange this armor with the patriarch, but the patriarch refused to part with it... Oh dear! Look at me, these rumors are never reliable, what nonsense am I spouting?

"Oh dear, I let my mouth slip. It's my fault, my fault."

As he spoke, Zhou Hou lightly slapped his own mouth.

But Master Mao burst into laughter again.

He burst into hearty laughter, the precious armor he held in his hands gleaming.

Chen Xu accepted the treasured armor. The armor, folded in his palm, was less than half the size of his hand, but when he touched it, he felt an indescribable spiritual aura lingering around it.

It is conceivable that if this treasure were unfolded, it would surely grow larger in the wind, just as in myths and legends.

At that time, it will naturally have a different charm.

Chen Xu was moved and immediately knelt down to become his disciple.

Master Mao, however, supported him and quickly said:

"Good disciple, let's first record the spirit book to formally establish our master-disciple relationship."

As for the apprenticeship ceremony, it won't be too late for your sect leader to preside over it a few months after he emerges from seclusion.

Master Mao's implication was that he intended to hold a grand apprenticeship ceremony for Chen Xu.

Chen Xu was taken aback for a moment and said, "Master, isn't this... a bit too grand?"

"What's all the fuss about? My disciple deserves it!" Master Mao waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over Hong Xuanji again.

What could Hong Xuanji say while sitting in a wheelchair?
At this point, he could only let out a long sigh and say helplessly, "Congratulations, Ancestor, on gaining such a fine disciple."

Master Mao laughed heartily.

Inside the Reception Hall, Zhou Hou's eyes were full of envy, while Ye Ningzhen's eyes darted around.

Ji Yang was overjoyed and excited, even happier than if he had won the grand prize himself.

Only Shao Jiliang lay on the ground with no one to help him up; his face was full of bitterness and his eyes were gloomy.

Does anyone still remember that Ye Ningzhen initially stood up for him because he had been injured by Liao Zhenfeng? And because she wanted to stand up for him?

Cultivators have thick skin and flesh, so minor injuries are not fatal.

However, the fact that he was so completely forgotten made him seem excessively useless and pathetic.

Afterwards, Chen Xu recorded the spirit register, obtained the disciple token, and wrote his own name after Mao Zhenren's name.

He is the 55th generation inner disciple of the Divine Mechanism Sect, personally taught by the Nascent Soul Ancestor, Master Mao!
It was personally taught by Master Mao, but not by the true lineage of any sect.

To become a true disciple of a sect, one needs two things: first, a sufficient amount of merit points and spiritual runes; and second, one needs to pass several special mission assessments.

Leaving aside the merit runes, the difficulty of the special mission assessment is extremely high.

But the treatment of true disciples is even more extraordinary.

It was only at this moment that Chen Xu learned that true disciples of the Shenji Sect could actually own property!
For example, Ye Ningzhen owns a hundred acres of ninth-grade spiritual fields and a shop in the immortal city, all allocated by her sect.

Therefore, Ye Ningzhen is not poor at all; she should even be considered wealthy.

For some reason, this senior sister always seemed to be stingy and didn't have enough money.

In conclusion, from this day forward, Chen Xu has officially joined the Shenji Sect.

He became a disciple of Master Mao and immediately received a monthly allowance of 300 spirit runes from the sect.

They then chose a mysterious cave halfway up a mountain as their residence.

This place is very close to the residence of the true disciples; in fact, it is the living area of ​​the true disciples.

However, before Chen Xu could even take a proper look at his own cave dwelling, he was taken to the sect's martial arts arena by Master Mao.

Master Mao said, "Good disciple, now that you have become my disciple, I must first thoroughly understand your cultivation."

He is the kind of master who is extremely responsible and would never take on a disciple and then wash his hands of the matter.

He even set a goal for Chen Xu directly:
"It will be at least three to five months before your senior brother, the sect leader, emerges from seclusion. You should use this time to do your best to pass the assessment and obtain the identity of a true disciple of the sect."
