Chapter 249 \nOriginally, Lin Xuanâs trip was for the sake of the Myriad Form Grass. It was really unexpected that things have evolved into the current situation. However, the doubts of the past had been solved one by one. The best choice now was to make a fortune while keeping a low profile.\n
Tian Xiaojian also put away his smiling expression and lowered his head slightly. No one knew what he was thinking about.
However, whether it was a disciple or servant, Lin Xuan didnât think he would agree!
As for Xu Han, his face was cloudy and moody. From time to time, his lips moved slightly, discussing something with the cultivator of the Core Formation Stage beside him through telepathy.
For a little while, there was an awkward silence in the hall, but it was broken suddenly.
âKid, would you like to worship this old man as your teacher? I originally only wanted to find a servant, but you have a good attitude, and I think youâre talented enough to inherit my legacy.â
An old voice was heard in his ear. Lin Xuan was startled and then understood that it was the voice of the Red-Haired Ancestor.
He didnât show any expression on his face. When he raised his head, he saw that the Nascent Soul Stage old man was still sitting on the chair in the middle of the hall. His eyes were closed as if he didnât say what he had just said.
Lin Xuan was moved and he lowered his head again.\n
âYouâre very smart, and this old man appreciates you a lot. How about it, are you willing to acknowledge me as a teacher?â
Lin Xuan didnât answer immediately. If it was another Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, he would definitely be overjoyed if he encountered such a good thing, but Lin Xuan has his own considerations.
He was not the same as others.
First of all, he was not a genius in cultivation. The truth was the opposite. If he took the Red-Haired Ancestor as his master, sooner or later he would find out that he was just a mortal without a Spiritual Root.
Then how should he explain his cultivation base? Perhaps even the secret of the Blue Star Sea would be discovered.
In any case, Lin Xuan would naturally not let this happen.
Although he also took Sect Master Tong Yu as his teacher, he was only teaching him alchemy. He didnât care about his Cultivation Method or Magic Arts and gave him the greatest freedom. That was why he was willing to stay in Spirit Pill Mountain. But this situation with the Red-Haired Ancestor was different.
On the other hand, even if he didnât care about those matters. He was not sure whether he could get any great benefits by taking an elder of the Nascent Soul Stage as his master.\nOn the surface, this was almost the consensus of all people. As the saying goes, itâs good to enjoy the shade under a big tree. First of all, with such a powerful master, his status would be completely different.
Not to mention that with an expertâs guidance, you could avoid a lot of detours, and the Cultivation Method taught by a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was definitely at the top level!
But the truth was not necessarily so.
A cultivator who practiced the path of immortality seemed to have no desires on the surface, but in fact, they are more snobbish than the secular people. Their relationships were also a little colder and indifferent. Indeed, there were many cases where a master and disciple were filial to each other, but it was not uncommon for them to quarrel or even turn against each other.
And this Red-Haired Ancestor was just one of the temperamental ones. Donât look at todayâs vow to accept himself as a disciple. Itâs not impossible for him to just extract and refine his soul if they had some disagreements in the future.
There is a saying in the mortal world that âmen are afraid of getting into the wrong line, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.â In the Cultivation World, the same is true for masters and apprentices.
As an expert in the Nascent Soul Stage, taking him as his master would most certainly have a lot of benefits. But there were also many hidden dangers. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was hard to say.
Lin Xuan didnât intend to gamble. The secret of the Blue Star Sea couldnât be exposed. The biggest advantage for others to take a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator as their master was that they could easily obtain Top-level Cultivation Methods.
Although there were thousands of cultivation methods, a few of them were at the top level. Even the major sects cherished them, let alone an outsider. Even official sect disciples couldnât be taught unless their cultivation base and status reached a certain level. In a sense, a good cultivation method is more valuable than pills and Magic Artifacts.
\nOf course, such a blunt refusal will not work, even ordinary people would care about their face, but to mention a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage. So he must have a sufficient reason, Lin Xuan began to ponder.
âWell, kid, itâs taking a long time for you to decide. Isnât this the reason why you snatched the quota for the trade fair?â
The Red-Haired Ancestorâs voice rang in his ears again, but this time he was obviously a little impatient.
Lin Xuan frowned, contemplated in his heart, and came up with an idea:
âThank you for your great kindness senior, Iâm extremely flattered. I donât know how many life-long virtues I have accumulated to have come across such good fortuneâŚâ
The Red-Haired Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was obviously very happy to hear that. However, Lin Xuan changed the topic and said, âItâs just coincidently, Iâm a disciple of Blue Cloud Mountain, and Iâm already a disciple of one of the sectâs elders. So I can only let you downâŚâ
âWhat? Youâre a disciple of Blue Cloud Mountain, one of the Big Three?! And youâve taken one of its elders as your master?â The Red-haired Ancestor opened his eyes and his voice was full of surprise.â
