201 Apprenticeships and nominations
"I worshipped in Penglai Immortal Sect as a casual cultivator, and practiced to become an alchemy master in less than thirty years old. It can be seen that there are many talents among the cultivators in the world!"
Sun Zhen nodded and took Lingcha.
He turned his head, but his face was cold and scolded in a deep voice to several descendants in the hall, "You guys, you must learn from Junior Brother Su in the future. Practice diligently, and don't waste it!"
There was an "outsider" present today. He left some face for them, and did not directly scold them. However, in his very dissatisfied tone, the meaning was undoubtedly revealed.
You have been enjoying the fruits since childhood, how much financial resources have you spent, but what achievements have been made?
The eldest grandson of the legitimate son is in his forties, and the eldest son of the legitimate son is in his seventies, but they are all alchemists, and most of them are in the early stages of foundation building and in the middle stages. The highest eldest son of the legitimate son is only at the sixth level of foundation building!
The level of alchemy is not as good as a casual cultivator who has not much foundation from an outside fairy city to Penglai Immortal Sect. Although his cultivation level is a little higher, he is afraid he will be caught up soon.
In the hall, the six descendants of the Sun family were embarrassed, and they lowered their hands and didn't dare to say anything, but they all looked at Su Chen with anger.
If Su Chen hadn't suddenly appeared, how could they have been used as a comparison and innocently scolded?
Su Chen felt their annoyed gazes and his heart skipped a beat.
Sun Zhen's words were too sarcastic and used him to humiliate the descendants of the Sun family. These descendants of the Sun family were afraid that they would annoy him.
Su Chen didn't quite understand why Elder Sun Zhen had never accepted an apprentice. After learning that he had become an alchemy master, he immediately wanted to accept him as his apprentice without even seeing him.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized in his heart. This was clearly used to use himself as a whetstone to stimulate and polish these descendants of the Sun family.
If it were Wang Qiu and other older alchemy masters, they would not have the stimulating effect if they were not better than the Sun family's children.
"After the tea ceremony, offer it~, the ceremony of apprenticeship--!"
Sun Qingning said with a blank expression on the side.
In the last part of the foundation-building monk’s worship of the Golden Pill monk as his master, he presented a heavy apprenticeship ceremony as a reward for his master.
Therefore, the master and apprenticeship are determined.
A ceremony to apprenticeship!?
Su Chen was stunned when he heard this.
He also heard that whenever an apprentice apprentice learns, he must offer a generous apprenticeship as a "qualification" for learning art. This is a custom. This is true in the secular world, and the world of immortal cultivation should also follow this rule.
However, since Su Chen joined the Gusu County Medicine King Gang to learn from his master, he has never offered any apprenticeship to his master, and even forgot to prepare for the apprenticeship.
No wonder Sun Qingning repeatedly reminded yesterday, "Go back and prepare well, don't be rude!"
Originally, he thought it was etiquette, but he didn't expect that this "ritual" originally refers to "a gift for apprenticeship".
Su Chen thought about it quickly, and a few hesitations appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and picked out three three hundred-year-old spiritual medicines from the Sumeru Ring and offered them respectfully. He felt that this gift should be appropriate.
When Sun Zhen saw these three 300-year-old elixirs, his eyes suddenly became much colder when he looked at Su Chen.
According to the Penglai Immortal Sect, the foundation-building disciples always offer generous gifts to worship the golden elixir as their teacher! It is at least one-fourth or fifth of the family belongings.
Three three hundred-year-old elixirs are also worth a little money, but the difference is too far from the value of the alchemy master.
If an alchemist is a master who learns his skills, he will offer this little apprenticeship?
The day before yesterday, Su Chen had just refined a third-level purple fire spirit pill, but he was not willing to offer it. It seems that this boy is quite stingy with wealth and his eyesight is not very good!
‘Hmph, when you are anxious in the future, you want to find a golden elixir road, and ask your teacher to give you a recommended place, it depends on how you spend your whole life savings!’
Sun Zhen secretly laughed at me and didn't care. Some times when Su Chen was anxious in the future.
"Let's leave it, come and pay your respects once a month from now on!"
Sun Zhen looked indifferent and ordered to everyone in the hall: "About every ten years, there is an important battle for the spiritual fruit of foundation-building monks in Penglai Immortal Sect. The quota of participation in the entire sect is only 200 foundation-building disciples. I only have one recommended place here.
Now there are eight years left before the next battle. You and the seven people should do their best to practice. In eight years, I will choose the best of you from you. All of them will be withdrew!"
“Yes, Master!”
"Yes, my father, my grandfather!"
Su Chen put down the apprenticeship ceremony, took a leave with six core disciples of the Sun family, and left the palace.
Su Chen disagreed with Sun Zhen’s words and chose one of the seven of them. This was just a statement to stimulate the Sun family’s children to make progress.
He didn't realize that Sun Zhen would be so generous that he could easily get the precious recommended place.
The grand clan members outside the hall also dispersed one after another.
...
The huge treasure hall was empty and deserted. Only the Golden Dan Elder Sun Zhen and Mrs. Sun were left, staying in the hall, with a cold and solemn atmosphere.
"Husband..."
Mrs. Sun looked up at Sun Zhen with a cold expression, showing a look of worry, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Originally, the only recommended place was just an internal dispute between the Sun family's children. Whoever fell on her was her legitimate son and grandson, and the wealth was not flowing to outsiders' fields.
But now Sun Zhen has accepted a personal disciple, but he is still very capable.
There is such a sharp contrast, I am afraid that Sun Zhen will become more and more dislike his descendants.
At the moment, Sun Zhen may just be thinking about acting in a fake drama and using this outstanding personal disciple to force his descendants to work hard.
But who can tell the situation eight years later? Sun Zhen was extremely disappointed with his descendants, and praised Su Chen more and more, and turned into "making fakes come true"?!
She was afraid that her descendants would suffer in the future, so she lost the only place to be recommended for spiritual fruit. In this way, the descendants of the Sun family would probably have cut off the road to the golden elixir.
"Mrs. I think I am cruel? I don't care about my descendants and support outsiders instead?"
Sun Zhen knew what she wanted to say, and looked indifferent, saying, "Do you think I didn't give them a chance? I gave them too many opportunities!
How many times have they been asked to go to the battle for spiritual fruit every ten years? However, among the six of them, no one has been able to win a spiritual fruit yet!"
He was disappointed over the years.
Of course, he hopes that his descendants can have a future.
However, among the Sun family, none of them could take the lead in the Sun family.
He didn't want to wait until he died, no one would inherit the huge Sun family's ancestral property.
If there are no Jindan monks among the descendants of the Sun family, this little spirit mountain will be taken back by the sect.
Once he dies, the macaques fall down and disperse.
The entire Sun family will turn into a pile of sand and scattered!
If the descendants cannot entrust them, then they can only entrust a good enough personal disciple!
This is his reserved way of retreat just in case.
An outstanding personal disciple was promoted to a Jindan monk and would take care of the descendants of the Sun family, which was better than the Sun family.
"The knife is not sharpened. He is just a whetstone, and I hope they can compete for some excitement."
Sun Zhen said with a cold expression.
Mrs. Sun knew her descendants, "In those eight years...who are you going to let?"
"Let's see it then!"
Sun Zhen said coldly.
He knew his wife's faults, was soft-hearted, and could not stand his descendants suffering.
But if he doesn't have any ruthlessness, the descendants of the Sun family will enjoy their blessings one by one, and there is no motivation to make progress.
...
After the ceremony of apprenticeship, the disciples of Sun family left the palace and returned to their residences.
The eldest son of the Sun family, Sun Hong and the second son of Sun Ping, walked together, looking sad.
They are all outstanding people from the first generation of the Sun family. Although they are not geniuses, they are not wasteful people.
However, the ten-year battle between Penglai Immortal Sect is too difficult.
The 200 foundation-building monks recommended by Penglai Immortal Sect are all descendants of Jindan monks and personal disciples. Which one is the easy person?
Ten out of 200 people!
Isn’t this normal thing for the Sun family to not compete for spiritual fruits over the years?
"Brother, what are your plans for father?"
"This time, my father deliberately mentioned the Lingguo incident in front of Junior Brother Su, which is probably a harsh warning to us!"
"There is only one person in our Sun family who can recommend the battle for spiritual fruit every ten years. With Junior Brother Su's amazing potential, he is also a master of alchemy and does not lack cultivation resources, so his cultivation must be improved very quickly. Eight years later, he is afraid that he is in the middle stage of foundation building and is already qualified to compete for spiritual fruit."
"If my father does not change his view within the past few years, his father will probably really send him to compete for the spirit fruit! This only recommended place will fall on him, an outsider."
Both of them were worried.
Sun Zhen was disappointed with them, so he suddenly accepted such a personal disciple.
But, how can I stop it?
Or they must show stronger strength than Su Chen. But this is too difficult. If they had this ability, they would have shown it long ago.
"Or think of a way to make my father hate Su Chen?"
"It's hard! My father is not so easy to fool. His eyes have always been very insightful. Even Junior Brother Su's apprenticeship ceremony was so bad that he was not angry.
It can be seen that my father didn't care how bad Junior Brother Su's performance was. Even if he hated Junior Brother Su, he would not change his decision.
What he cared about was the performance of us, the Sun children. We have not been able to regain the spiritual fruit over the years, and the performance was too poor, which made him very dissatisfied."
Sun Hong shook his head and sighed.
After thinking about it, this matter was not ordinary tricky.
