Before Du Ge could speak,
Zhao Hongi, who had already been impatient upon hearing that soone was indeed causing trouble behind the scenes, recounted today's events to Daoist Priest Suwen and even showed him the Weibo post sent by Cheng Yu: "Daoist Priest, this is roughly what happened.
Daoist Priest, Xiaoyu's career is on the rise. Whether it's soone sabotaging him from the shadows or so unclean presence, please, you must help him! No matter the cost, we are willing to pay."
Unexpectedly,
After listening to Zhao Hongi, Daoist Priest Suwen's frown deepened. He sized up Du Ge: "That shouldn't be right. His body is brimming with yang energy, like a blazing furnace. Evil spirits should be terrified of him. How could any malevolent entity affect his mind?"
"But it really did!" Zhao Hongi insisted, "Daoist Priest, even the jade amulet you personally consecrated has inexplicably broken. Could you please check on him again? There might be a formidable enemy targeting Xiaoyu!"
Sure enough,
No one could detect the Body Possession technique of Pan-Universal Entertainnt.
Du Ge looked at Daoist Priest Suwen and extended his hand again: "Daoist Priest, please examine ! To be honest, that feeling of not being in control of one's own body is terrifying. In fact, I didn't feel at peace at all when I was in the Daoist temple earlier. The reason I want to pursue cultivation with you is because I'm scared of these unclean things and don't want to encounter them a second ti."
Daoist Priest Suwen once again felt Du Ge's pulse, taking it seriously.
What pulse are you still taking?
Aren't you going to drop the matter of taking as a disciple after she interrupted?
I've made it so obvious, why don't you just go with the flow, coax with a few words, and take as your disciple?
You old Daoist Priest, your mind is not sharp enough, no wonder you only sell a jade amulet for thirty-eight thousand. With this attitude, when will you ever grow your business?
I despise you!
Du Ge let loose a stream of muttering in his heart and decided to be straightforward, asking: "Daoist Priest, you just said my body is full of yang energy, like a blazing furnace. Does that an I'm particularly suited for cultivation?"
"Correct." Daoist Priest Suwen glanced at him and said, "If you cultivate, your progress will be swift. However, those in the cultivation world value karmic affinity. You are too entangled with the secular world. Even if you cultivate to the end, you won't achieve much. You might even beco possessed by your own power. It cannot be forced."
"Do you accept secular disciples?" Du Ge inquired.
"Secular disciples do not receive the true teachings." Daoist Priest Suwen released his pulse and said, "There is nothing wrong with your body. The confusion you experienced earlier is likely related to a recent strange event in Tongshan City. Go back to your normal life; there shouldn't be any more problems."
"What strange event?" Zhao Hongi asked.
"A minor incident, soone has already dealt with it." Daoist Priest Suwen said, "If you're still worried, take another protective jade amulet from . The last amulet didn't provide protection, so consider this one a gift from this old Daoist."
With that,
He took out a jade amulet similar to the previous one from under the table and handed it over.
Du Ge, however, did not take it but stubbornly looked at Daoist Priest Suwen: "Daoist Priest, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I've been scared by what happened before. If it happens again, my career might be completely ruined. Moreover, the strange incidents today weren't limited to just . If I didn't know about the existence of gods and demons, it would be one thing.
But now that I know, and I'm aware that I have a body with all ridians unblocked, nothing can stop my determination to beco your disciple."
"Xiaoyu." Zhao Hongi frowned, "Don't be rash."
"Zhao Jie, this isn't being rash." Du Ge said, "The facts have proven that the jade amulet is useless. If today's incident happens again, can you bear it? But if I learn just one or two Daoist techniques, I can deal with any demons or ghosts myself."
"…" Daoist Priest Suwen looked at the jade amulet in his hand, unsure whether to give it or take it back.
"But if you pursue cultivation, what about your career?" Zhao Hongi asked.
"Being a secular disciple won't affect it." Du Ge said.
"The old Daoist hasn't agreed to accept you as a secular disciple yet." Daoist Priest Suwen frowned.
Du Ge looked back at Daoist Priest Suwen and said: "Daoist Priest, please stop refusing. I could feel your eagerness to take as a disciple just now. If you turn away such a promising candidate like today and I end up becoming soone else's disciple, it might tarnish your reputation as Daoist Priest Suwen for not recognizing talent…"
"…" Daoist Priest Suwen was silent.
"I have talent, and you have supernatural powers." Du Ge smiled and continued, "If I learn supernatural powers from you and shine in the cultivation world in the future, it will reflect well on you too, right? It's a win-win situation. Why do you keep refusing?"
"Your scheming nature ans you're destined to be unsuitable for cultivation." Daoist Priest Suwen looked at Du Ge, put away the jade amulet, and his expression turned grave, "If you can find another master, then go ahead. Even if it's said that the old Daoist couldn't see the talent, I'll accept it."
Zhao Hongi anxiously watched as Daoist Priest Suwen put away the jade amulet, her eyes twitching violently. She reached out to tug at Du Ge's sleeve: "Cheng Yu, stop making a scene. Let's go, co down the mountain with ."
Daoist Priest Suwen was a man of true talent, and his acquaintances were all high-ranking officials. She really didn't want Cheng Yu to offend the old Daoist Priest.
Offending fans could be managed, but offending the powerful could end Cheng Yu's prospects with just a word from them.
"Zhao Jie, one must be sincere in seeking the Dao." Du Ge pushed away Zhao Hongi's arm and turned back to her, "Zhao Jie, please step outside for a mont. I'll speak with the Daoist Priest. If he still refuses, I'll co down the mountain with you imdiately and won't ntion cultivation again."
Zhao Hongi didn't move. She looked at Du Ge angrily: "Cheng Yu, what exactly are you playing at?"
With his back to Zhao Hongi, Du Ge looked at the old Daoist Priest and silently mouthed the words "Ghost King."
Daoist Priest Suwen was taken aback: "Miss Zhao, please step outside for a mont. I'll try to persuade this young man, Cheng."
Zhao Hongi frowned, let go of Du Ge, and turned to leave.
Daoist Priest Suwen looked at Du Ge seriously and asked: "How did you co to know of the Ghost King?"
"I saw it." Du Ge sighed, "At that mont, I was sitting in the car when a white light suddenly crashed in, then the jade amulet shattered, and after that, the white light seed to want to enter my body. It tried several tis without success and then fled through the car window.
Before it fled, I clearly saw a human face telling 'I will co back,' and right after that, my mind beca muddled for a while. It was during that ti that I did sothing foolish.
I have a feeling that the Ghost King has taken an interest in my body…"
Daoist Priest Suwen furrowed his brow.
Du Ge continued: "Before, I didn't know why, but after you ntioned that all my ridians are unblocked, I realized that the Ghost King probably wants my body with all ridians unblocked too! So, I must beco your disciple no matter what. Your jade amulet can't stop the Ghost King. Only by learning the true skills can I save myself…"
"How did you know he was the Ghost King if you've never cultivated before?" Daoist Priest Suwen asked.
"I heard it." Du Ge said, "Perhaps during the struggle with the Ghost King, I awakened so special ability. My hearing beca incredibly sharp. On the way to see you, I overheard your conversation with soone and vaguely heard about the Ghost King. Then, combining it with my own experience, I naturally understood what I had encountered."
"Heavenly Ear?" Daoist Priest Suwen was stunned.
"Possibly!" Du Ge said, "For instance, right now I can hear that eighty ters away, there are two Daoist Priests discussing 'The True thod of the Five Thunders.'"
Gulp!
Daoist Priest Suwen swallowed hard.
"Even if I don't beco your disciple, with my hearing, I could stay in the Daoist temple for a few days and eavesdrop on many secrets." Du Ge gave a wry smile, "But I'm completely ignorant about cultivation. I'm afraid I might encounter problems if I try to cultivate on my own, which is why I'm so determined to beco your disciple. Please teach , I don't want my body to be taken by the Ghost King. Daoist Priest, a body with all ridians unblocked being taken by the Ghost King is not good for the cultivation world either, right?"
Daoist Priest Suwen's expression changed. He paused for a mont, then asked: "How far can you hear?"
"About two hundred ters." Du Ge's ears twitched, "To the left, thirty ters away, soone is sleeping in a room. Fifty ters away, two people are practicing swordplay…"
After taking a deep breath, the shocked Daoist Priest Suwen paced back and forth in the room before stopping in front of Du Ge: "Fine, I'll take you as my disciple, not as a secular disciple, but as a direct disciple. However, there's a condition."
"Master, please tell ." Du Ge eagerly responded.
"No matter how busy your secular affairs are, you must spend ten days each month on the mountain learning Daoist techniques from this old Daoist." Daoist Priest Suwen said earnestly.
Thanks to the generous support of the alliance leader, there will be an additional update this afternoon.＾＿＾!
