The great elder seemed not to notice Li Yang's doubts and said calmly:
"Why, why else? Qi Fan has not shown any signs of breakthrough for so many years, Bu Shan has been disappointed with him."
'I'm afraid you think so too.' Li Yang said silently in his heart.
But this is what Li Yang thought wrong. In the entire Xuanyuan Sect, it can be said that no one knows better than the great elder Zhou Qingyuan how deep Qi Fan's foundation is!
The great elder has never been disappointed with Qi Fan. Even though he still hasn't broken through the core formation after so many years, he just thinks that the foundation is too deep!
One day Qi Fan will break through! But after so many years of seclusion and practice, he has not made a breakthrough, so he might as well give him some stimulation, which may have unexpected effects!
Even if the result is not what Zhou Qingyuan hoped for, there will be no loss to him.
This is what the Great Elder really thinks! Another reason is that Bu Shan paid too much attention to Qi Fan in the past few years.
He had no chance to come into contact with Qi Fan, and now Qi Fan's status in Bu Shan's heart has become lower. Even so, he did not dare to say anything to Qi Fan. After all, he was far from Bu Shan's opponent.
If Bu Shan had the chance to attack him because of this, it would be more of a loss than a gain, so this is why Li Yang spread the word!
Then the great elder said: "If you do things for me, I will not treat you badly." After thinking for a moment, he said: "Here are five spiritual stones. You should keep them."
Li Yang was startled, and his heart suddenly moved when he saw the spirit stone floating in front of his eyes. Now he knew how precious the spirit stone was!
But Li Yang hesitated and couldn't help but said:
"It is a blessing for a disciple to work for the Great Elder. I dare not ask for any extravagant reward. Moreover, this thing is too precious. The disciple just passed it on as a message. I really deserve it."
Hearing such an answer, the great elder was slightly surprised. If it weren't for Qi Fan, Li Yang would never have been noticed by him.
Originally, he just wanted to cultivate some of his confidants so that Li Yang could be completely used by him. After all, if he wanted to accomplish that kind of thing, these ordinary disciples were also an extremely important part!
He didn't expect that such an inconspicuous disciple would have such a good nature. He had seen the shock and panic in Li Yang's eyes before, and he just pretended not to know.
The great elder couldn't help but re-evaluate this little guy in the liquid condensation stage. Not only was he quick in thinking, he was also able to keep his heart and not be influenced by external objects. This alone made Li Yang's weight heavier in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he said: "What kind of spiritual root do you have?"
Li Yang was obviously stunned for a moment. The spiritual stone in front of him was still shimmering. Why did he suddenly ask about his spiritual root?
Although he didn't know what was going on, he still replied: "My disciple has the three spiritual roots of metal, wood, and earth." There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and there are records within the sect.
The great elder nodded. Although it was not too top-notch, it was still pretty good, and it suited him quite well.
After a long while, the great elder seemed to have made a certain decision in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "I am willing to accept you as my disciple. I wonder if you are willing?"
"Wha, what?" Li Yang asked with eyes wide open, as if these words were more shocking than the spiritual stone in front of him and what he had thought of before.
"I asked you, do you want to become your teacher?" the elder repeated, not caring about Li Yang's attitude. After all, if it hadn't happened today, he wouldn't have thought of it.
The Xuanyuan Sect or every sect has the most monks with three spiritual roots. Being able to worship Lord Yuanying as their teacher is the biggest opportunity for these monks.
This is also the reason why Li Yang is so rude. He never thought that one day he would be favored by Master Nascent Soul!
After a while, Li Yang gradually came back to his senses. He was very excited and even had a trace of flush on his face.
When the great elder saw his appearance, he almost knew the result, so he quietly waited for Li Yang to become his disciple.
But after waiting for a long time, seeing that Li Yang still had no intention of worshiping as a disciple, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Don't you want to?"
"Of course the disciple is willing, a hundred are willing, but the disciple wants to ask a question, and please forgive me, the Great Elder."
"Oh? What's the problem?"
"Why do you like me? There are people like me everywhere. If you say anything about accepting a disciple, this place will be overcrowded immediately. There will be many people better than me."
Hearing this, the great elder couldn't help but reveal a smile in his eyes. Li Yang was better than he thought and said, "Didn't you tell me the reason yourself?"
Li Yang blinked, confused. Did I say that? What did I say?
Looking at the confused Li Yang, the Great Elder smiled and said: "You also said that if I open my mouth, ordinary disciples will definitely become my disciples directly."
"And if you can ask this question, you have already explained the reason. This is what makes you better than others, and what I like about you."
Li Yang was still a little confused, "This should be a question that everyone will think of, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed a question that everyone will think of, but not many people dare to ask it." The great elder replied still smiling.
Is that so? But probably, should, seem, right?
Li Yang himself didn't know why he asked like this. Looking back now, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. If the elder was unhappy... Li Yang couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the consequences.
Then he straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully, but in the middle of the salute, Li Yang suddenly paused: "You won't be harmful to Brother Fan, right? You won't let me deal with Brother Fan, right?"
The elder who was sitting in the capital was about to call his disciple, but he almost lost his temper at the sudden words and swallowed the word 'disciple' hard.
He glared at Li Yang angrily and said, "No! Even if I deal with you, I won't deal with Qi Fan!"
Li Yang was glared at and smiled, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed three times respectfully: "Master, please accept my disciple's bow."
The Great Elder felt relieved, and this kid was finally done, "Well, from today on, you are my eldest disciple, Zhou Qingyuan, and my only direct disciple."
"Since you are my disciple, those five spiritual stones will make me look too stingy." After speaking, he waved his hand, and another storage bag appeared in front of Li Yang.
"There are a hundred spiritual stones in here, as well as the Xuanjin Book of Kung Fu I practiced. You can go back and practice some more."
Li Yang was ecstatic in his heart and extremely excited on his face. He kowtowed again and said, "Thank you, Master."
The master and apprentice chatted for a while, and Li Yang asked a lot about cultivation matters.
After a long time, Li Yang left the secret room.

On the other side, Fengyang City, which belongs to the territory of Kunwu Sect, slowly appeared in the eyes of Qi Fan and Liu Miaoyin.
In three days, except for occasionally stopping to recover their spiritual power, the two of them arrived outside Fengyang City without any pause!
