The old man hummed lightly, and without even looking at the two gatekeepers, he led the girl and Li Chengfei into the mountain gate.
Came to a side courtyard next to it.
This is a courtyard house, with a sign saying "Foreign Affairs Courtyard" hanging on the door.
The door of the main hall was open, and an old man with a mole at the corner of his mouth was sitting on a wooden chair and taking a nap. When he saw someone coming in, he lazily raised his eyelids, saw the old man's appearance clearly, and immediately stood up.
"Elder Libra..."
"Leave this person to you and arrange for him to be sent to the outer courtyard. Let him work as a handyman first!" Elder Libra interrupted him and pointed at Li Chengfei.
The old man was slightly startled. When did a handyman disciple need an elder to send him over in person?
"Yes, Elder." He agreed quickly, and then asked cautiously, "Elder, do you want him to name himself or..."
"What are you doing in name? You come as you want, you don't need to take care of him. His talent is not good. If he can't bear the hardship, how can he hope to become an immortal?" Elder Libra said calmly.
"Disciple understands." The old man agreed respectfully.
"Grandpa, don't you accept my uncle as your apprentice? How can you send him to do handyman work?" the girl said anxiously.
"It's not that I don't accept him, it's that he has no destiny to become an immortal. He is too old, already over sixty years old, and he has no talent for cultivating immortals."
Elder Libra patiently explained, then turned to Li Chengfei and asked:
"Have you ever had a serious illness? Look at your body, the blood vessels are damaged, and there is still filth lingering around. If you look at it with your spiritual consciousness, it looks like rotten lint... You may not have any chance of cultivating immortality in this life!"
Li Chengfei went through stone grinding, oil cauldron, knives and fire, just like using chemotherapy to treat a disease. Although the cancer was eliminated, his body was also destroyed.
Especially the "copper coin" in the oil pan, after he ate it, it turned into invisible threads, took root in his body like tree roots, and merged with his body, making him very uneasy.
Although he had known about his physical condition for a long time, when he heard Elder Libra say this, he still felt a little disappointed.
Of course, this feeling of loss only lasted a moment, and he quickly adjusted his mentality.
His current condition is indeed very bad. To outsiders, if he wants to seek immortality, it would be a joke.
But he has "Nanke"! As long as he survives the first five years, he will have countless opportunities for trial and error. With the accumulation of experience, he will check for leaks and fill in the gaps again and again... He will definitely go further and further, and eventually become an immortal.
Before, the immortal world was separated forever, but he was able to come from the human world to the immortal world. Such an impossible step was taken by him. What does the next step mean?
"The elder has a sharp eye, that's true." Li Chengfei said.
"Huh?"
Elder Libra let out a sigh and glanced at Li Chengfei a little unexpectedly.
He saw the change in Li Chengfei's expression. The initial disappointment was normal.
But in that moment, I became confident again.
The confidence in Li Chengfei's eyes could not be faked, as if he really believed that he would successfully embark on the path to immortality.
"The road to seeking immortality requires courage and diligence, and you must have the mentality of being invincible! Your mentality is not bad... What a pity! What a pity!"
Elder Libra shook his head.
As long as Li Chengfei has the appearance of a man, he would be willing to accept Li Chengfei and give him a chance based on this mentality.
It's a pity that with Li Chengfei's talent, in his opinion, even if he was born in an immortal sect, he might not be able to successfully embark on the path of immortality in this life.
"I don't want you to just show up and do nothing. Firstly, if this happens, I will have to find a way to accommodate you. Secondly, this Foreign Affairs Academy is not in charge of me. If you ask someone to do something, it will be equivalent to owing the manager.
A favor from the elder. I have been used to being a loner all my life, and what I don’t like the most is owing favors to others. Besides, you have just entered the mountain gate, so it will be good for you to endure some hardships."
Because he admired Li Chengfei's mentality, Elder Libra said a few more words.
You are amazing and noble!
It's me who endures hardship, of course you don't care...
Li Chengfei made a few slanderous remarks, but on the surface he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
"I understand, the elder is also doing it for my own good!"
"Girl, you go with Elder Libra first and practice hard. If you can become an immortal, if you still remember our relationship these two days, come back and give uncle a hand, and uncle will thank you. That is what can really help uncle."
Li Chengfei took the initiative to persuade him. He was afraid that if the amnesiac girl kept talking too much, he would offend Elder Libra and cause trouble.
"Well, uncle, you work well here. I will follow the old man first. When I settle down, I will come to you. I know you like to be an immortal. If I can become an immortal, I will definitely give you a hand.
Let you also become an immortal!"
The girl burst into tears, clenched her little fists and swore.
"Haha! That's right. You can only help me if you practice hard with me. Let's go!"
Elder Libra laughed and was in a great mood.
Li Chengfei looked at the girl's appearance and suddenly felt a little unbearable.
He clearly knows that Elder Libra has ulterior motives, but he still lets the girl follow him... Does this count as aiding the evildoer?
For a moment, he felt a little guilty on his conscience.
Of course, it was only for a moment.
At the same time, he was also a little strange. He had not known the girl for a long time, so why was the girl so dependent on him?
Is it just because of amnesia that I only know him? Or is there other reasons?
After crossing over from the teleportation array, when he woke up, the girl was guarding him. Could something have happened before?
Li Chengfei discovered that he had never thought much about this aspect. This was a blind spot in his subconscious mind.
When you get a chance, be sure to ask.
"Is Elder Libra going to accept a high-ranking disciple? Congratulations! Let the disciple go through the formalities of naturalizing the disciple! If you naturalize today, you can still catch up with this month's quota..."
The old man rushed up to flatter Elder Libra.
"There is no rush for naturalization. I will take care of it when the time comes. I will leave it to you."
After Elder Libra finished speaking, he took the girl and left.
The girl looked back three times with each step, with a look of reluctance and a bit of confusion.
"Weird!" the old man muttered, with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Is there anything wrong?" Li Chengfei took the opportunity to ask.
"Of course. New disciples must be naturalized as soon as possible, and the sect will also distribute the quotas on a monthly basis. If you don't naturalize today, you won't be able to catch up with this month's quotas!"
Li Chengfei narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although Elder Libra is valued as an elder, it is impossible not to give up such free benefits.
Putting it this way, his plot is really quite big. Maybe he didn’t want to naturalize the girl at all...
"Forget it! The elders naturally have their own considerations. It's not something that a young outer disciple like me can guess."
The old man turned to Li Chengfei with great enthusiasm.
"Brother, you were brought here by Elder Libra himself. Of course we have to take care of you. Although we have to follow the rules, we will make it as convenient as possible. You can take a look at this wall.
If there is anything you like to do, just pick it... Hehe! I arrange the other handymen at will, and they don't have the chance to choose."
"Thank you, brother. I don't know what to call you, brother? I'll remember this favor."
Li Chengfei said, took out a burnt coin and stuffed it into the old man's hand calmly.
He has never resisted the business of being human and sophisticate. Especially when his strength is insufficient, he can accomplish great things by spending a little money... Why not?
"What are you doing..."
The grumpy old man perfectly explained what it means to be too straight-faced. He seemed to be refusing, but his hand had already taken the burned coin and put it in his pocket.
As expected of the person brought by the elder himself, his actions are to burn coins... grand!
The old man suddenly became more enthusiastic.
"I am an outer disciple of our sect, my name is Duan Yu. According to the rules, you who work as handymen can call the outer disciples senior brother when you meet them."
"Ahem!"
Li Chengfei almost couldn't help but laugh. He had to endure it hard and coughed repeatedly.
Duan Yu?
Are you serious about your respectful appearance?
"Is there any problem?" Duan Yu glanced at Li Chengfei in confusion.
"It's okay! It's okay!" Li Chengfei shook his head repeatedly, "I just feel that the name Senior Brother Duan has a clear rhyme to it, which is really good."
"Haha! That's an award. My parents gave me my name, so I'm lucky." Duan Yu shook his head, feeling quite proud.
Li Chengfei then looked at the wall. Although it was also workmanship, the work here was much better than that in the town - it was also some low-level work, but the risk seemed to be much less.
There are those who collect water and sweep, and there are those who follow their senior brothers to patrol the mountains... This chapter has been completed!
