"En …" Benefactor, you. You said you want to accept me as your disciple? "Xin Li asked with an abnormally excited expression. He was afraid that he had misheard.
"It was you who begged me to accept you as my disciple, not me who asked you to be my disciple. Do you understand?" Ling Xiao emphasized.
He thought to himself, "If this king wants to take in a disciple, as long as I wave my arm, there will be a lot of people crying to take me as their master. You brat, you still don't know what's good for you."
Ling Xiao said this just to save face.
In fact, he didn't have any idea about taking in a disciple. He just wanted to give his master, Mu Huai, a surprise.
Back then, when Mu Huai found out that Ling Xiao also had a pure wood attribute physique, he put down his old face and asked his Grand Master to go to Medicine Peak to snatch him away.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao respected Mu Huai even more.
Therefore, he wanted to take Xin Li as his disciple to make his master happy.
However, if others knew that Xin Li was a pure wood attribute person, even an Empyrean level figure would snatch him away as a disciple.
It had to be known that a pure attribute physique was rare to see in a thousand years. It had a powerful Tenbin that surpassed ordinary people on the path of cultivation.
A beginner martial artist with this kind of physique would be the most valued target of cultivation, no matter in any large sect.
And Ling Xiao behaved so casually. If others were to know, they would probably be angered to death.
However, although Xin Li had this kind of talent, his congenital blocked meridians caused him to be unable to cultivate. In the hands of others, he was just an ordinary person.
If it wasn't for Lu Weng being able to sense that Xin Li's physique was different, Ling Xiao would have probably made a mistake.
At the same time, to repair Xin Li's meridians, only a high-grade alchemist like Ling Xiao could do it.
"Cousin, hurry up and acknowledge me as your master!" Sun Xiaonan urged from the side, as if she was afraid that Xin Li would miss this opportunity.
She knew that Xin Li had suffered a lot in order to be able to cultivate. It was rare for him to have this opportunity, so of course she didn't want him to miss it.
Xin Li just wanted to climb down from the bed, but he hesitated for a moment and sighed heavily. "Thank you for your kindness, benefactor. I … I was determined to be unable to cultivate since I was young."
Xin Li had already heard from Sun Xiaonan that Ling Xiao and Savage Leopard were at least King Stage experts. Even in the family, such experts were at the elder level. He was naturally very happy that they wanted him to be their disciple. However, he had to tell them about his situation so that he wouldn wouldn't be expelled after acknowledging them as his master. How embarrassing that that would be!
"I know about your situation, but if you really wants me as your master, I, I can help you. I can help you, I can help you, I can can can help you.
"R-really?"
"Xin, Li," Xin, Li, Xin, Xin, I, Li, I, Ling Li, Really "Li" Xin, Xin, "Xin said.
Ling Xiao put Xin Li back on the bed and nodded with satisfaction. "Good, good … from today on, you are Ling Xiao's disciple. If anyone dares to bully you, Master will crush their balls."
"Master … Master, what's an egg?" Sun Xiaonan asked with a puzzled face.
Ling Xiao saw Sun Xiaonan's innocent expression and his old face slightly blushed. How could he forget that Sun Xiaonan was beside him?
"This egg … it's the eggs raised by birds," Ling Xiao explained with great difficulty.
"Then what does it have to do with the eggs raised by birds when others bully my cousin?" Sun Xiaonan continued to ask.
Ling Xiao secretly said in his heart, "My sin, my sin, I can't lead children astray."
"Xiaonan, you go out first. I have something to say to your cousin." Ling Xiao quickly changed the topic. He was too lazy to explain Sun Xiaonan's profound question.
Sun Xiaonan was very puzzled. "What does it have to do with the eggs raised by birds?"
After Sun Xiaonan left, Ling Xiao said to Xin Li, "Since you have become my disciple, then I will let you know my background and make you regret it."
"Master saved my life and is willing to accept me as a disciple. I will never regret it in this life!" Xin Li said to Ling Xiao with a sonorous voice.
He was originally an abandoned young master of the Xin family. He had suffered all kinds of ridicule and was disheartened by the Xin family. Now, not only did Ling Xiao save him, he was willing to accept him as a disciple, and he even promised to let him practice martial arts. What else could he be dissatisfied with?
"Well, it's good that you have such determination." Ling Xiao nodded and then said, "Master is a disciple of the 68th generation from the Wooden Flag Peak of the Purple Sky Sect in the northwest. Now that you have become my disciple, you are naturally a disciple of the 69th generation. When you return to the sect in the future, Master will let you pay your respects to the Sect Master and the Patriarch. Then you will be a disciple of my Purple Sky Sect."
"Yes, disciple will remember," Xin Li replied seriously. In his heart, he was imagining that Master came from the distant northwest.
"I will tell you first that Master is the youngest elder of the sect, and also the strongest of the 67th and 68th generation. Since you have become my disciple, you cannot disgrace Master's name. Otherwise, don't blame Master for being impolite," Ling Xiao said very confidently.
Although these words were a bit arrogant, he was indeed telling a fact.
In the Purple Sky Sect, besides those elders of the previous generation, it was likely that no one under the King Stage was a match for Ling Xiao, even if it was a high-level King Stage elder.
Ling Xiao's combat strength was not just for show.
If he added his trump card, he would not even be afraid of an Earth Emperor expert.
When Xin Li heard Ling Xiao's words, his eyes revealed a look of worship, and he nodded very firmly and said, "Even if disciple dies, I will not lose face for Master."
Ling Xiao softly said, "Since you have already become my disciple, then you naturally have to leave with me. Are you willing to give up everything here?"
Xin Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Master … Can you also accept my cousin as a disciple?"
Ling Xiao glanced at Xin Li, and Xin Li did not dare to look at Ling Xiao.
"Master can't casually accept disciples, but you don't need to worry about her. You are my disciple, so I will naturally take away your relatives, so that you will not be worried," Ling Xiao replied.
He had already thought of a way to settle down Sun Xiaonan, otherwise he was afraid that Xin Li would not be able to concentrate on cultivation.
He was not like some masters who forced people to give up their family and love, and only when they reached the point of forgetting about their feelings could they cultivate the Unworldly Mysterious Technique.
To Ling Xiao, a person who knew how to be grateful was more suitable for cultivation.
Because love could make people constantly strive for self-improvement, because he had someone he needed to protect, he would desire to become stronger.
After Xin Li received Ling Xiao's affirmation, he immediately relaxed and did not make any more requests.
"After you rest for two days, Master will refine some pills for you to reconstruct your meridians. At that time, it will be difficult for you not to become stronger," Ling Xiao said and then left the room.
Xin Li stared blankly at Ling Xiao's back and muttered, "Could it be that Master is also an alchemist?"
He saw that Ling Xiao was only a few years older than him, but he had formidable strength. His admiration for Ling Xiao gradually deepened.
Two days later, Xin Li's injuries were more or less healed after Ling Xiao fed him a large amount of high-grade medicinal pills.
He discovered that he was actually a profound practitioner, which made him wild with joy.
He did not know that when Sun Xiaonan had been humiliated, it had stimulated his potential, causing him to explode with the power of his innate constitution. In an instant, he had broken through many of his wasted meridians, allowing him to become a low level profound practitioner.
Low level profound practitioners were only the lowest level of all martial practitioners.
But this was the first time Xin Li felt that he had the feeling of power, causing him to cry bitterly for a full two hours before he stopped crying.
"In this lifetime, you are only allowed to cry once. Next time you cry, don't say that you are my disciple. Remember, men bleed but not tears. Thinking back to when Master was also abandoned by my family, I was not the most outstanding one. Remember, you must have a heart that will never give up, only then can you continue to advance bravely and become stronger." Ling Xiao patted Xin Li's shoulder in encouragement.
Xin Li wiped away his tears and heavily nodded.
"Alright, Master will first help you reconstruct your meridians. It may be very painful, but as long as you can endure it, you will have endless benefits in this lifetime. If you can't endure it, then the only road left for you is death," Ling Xiao said very directly.
"Come master, I can do it," Xin Li firmly replied.
"En, sit properly and take this Meridian Molding Pill. Relax your body and do not resist," Ling Xiao said as he handed over a medicinal pill.
This Meridian Molding Pill was a fifth grade medicinal pill. It had been refined by Ling Xiao in the past two days.
It was just like its name, it had the miraculous effect of reconstructing meridians.
Xin Li calmed his state of mind and took the medicinal pill. Then he began to relax his body and mind. His life was completely in the hands of his master.
Seeing that Xin Li was already prepared, Ling Xiao placed his palm on Xin Li's back and a wave of spiritual energy passed through his palm.
Xin Li's pure wood attribute physique was not bad, but he also had a congenital blocked meridians, a rare trash body.
Congenital blocked meridians meant that when a person was born, their meridians were already damaged and they were unable to move their strength.
Although this did not affect a person's life, it affected a person's ability to cultivate, unable to use Xuan Qi, and bring it into the Dantian to strengthen their own strength.
This kind of congenital trash body would generally not be able to cultivate for a lifetime.
However, in the eyes of some high level alchemists, there was still hope.
That was to reconstruct the meridians, turning the wasted meridians into normal meridians. That way, they would have the meridians of a normal martial artist and could step onto the road of cultivation.
Although the Xin family was an alchemist family, they did not have a fifth grade alchemist. It was impossible for them to refine a fifth grade medicinal pill for Xin Li to reconstruct his meridians. Moreover, no one knew how good Xin Li's Tenbin cultivation was.
If the Xin family obtained the Meridian Moulding Pill for him, but his cultivation was ordinary Tenbin, then what was the use of saving him?
Therefore, the Xin family would not waste time and materials for a congenital trash body.
This was not only reflected in the Xin family, but also in other big and small families.
This point was also deeply experienced by Ling Xiao.
As Ling Xiao's spiritual energy destroyed Xin Li's wasted meridians, Xin Li almost fainted from the pain. His complexion was frighteningly pale.
However, his willpower was beyond Ling Xiao's expectations.
Xin Li actually gritted his teeth and did not let out a scream.
Ling Xiao was quite satisfied with this disciple of his. Only people with strong willpower could go far on the road of martial arts.
After all the meridians in Xin Li's body were destroyed, the medicinal power of the Meridian Moulding Pill began to take effect.
The meridians in Xin Li's body began to show signs of reconstructing, and his pain gradually disappeared. Finally, he became calm.
