Chapter 783: Chapter 781, Don’t Fail to Recognize What’s Good for You

”What? You’re actually planning to become a disciple of this old thing?”

Seeing Xu Wendong about to acknowledge Wuming as his master, Dustless became furious. He simply could not comprehend why Xu Wendong would choose Wuming as his master instead of him.

Wuming also had a look of bewilderment, as he had already given up on the idea of taking Xu Wendong as a disciple.

Although he was the Third Elder of the Elixir Sect,

he was the weakest among the many elders, and the least noticeable.

”Yes, I am willing to acknowledge Elder Wuming as my master,” Xu Wendong said with a determined look.

”Nonsense!” Dustless shouted angrily, ”Although Wuming is the Third Elder of the Elixir Sect, his Golden Core has been severely damaged, making him practically a cripple. What can you learn from him by becoming his disciple?”

”Xu Wendong, I am giving you one last chance to choose your master, and I hope you don’t fail to appreciate it!”

Wuming forced a smile and said, ”The Second Elder is right, my Golden Core has been severely damaged. Though I am in the Golden Core Stage, I cannot exert the cultivation level of a Golden Core Period Expert.”

”I cannot even refine elixirs. Consider it carefully!”

Xu Wendong said, ”Since I have already acknowledged you as my master, I will not go back on my word. Please accept me as your disciple, Elder Wuming.” Saying this, he bowed his head to Wuming.

”Very well, very well!” Wuming was overwhelmed with tears and hurriedly helped Xu Wendong up, ”Since you have chosen to acknowledge me, I will do my utmost to nurture you!”

Wuming had not taken many disciples in his life, but he had made them all pillars of strength, superpowers renowned across the Nine Provinces.

Therefore, even though he was akin to a cripple, he had the confidence to nurture Xu Wendong into a promising talent.

”Xu Wendong, I hope you don’t regret today’s decision!” Dustless gave a cold glance, and then stepping upon his flying sword, he rose into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

Dustless felt extremely irritable. When he received the message from Yao Tian, he was training outside and was in the crucial stage of a breakthrough, so he didn’t return immediately.

Unexpectedly, when he returned, he happened to see Wuming accepting Xu Wendong as a disciple.

Although he desperately wanted to kill Xu Wendong and seize the two magic artifacts on him,

Now he dared not rashly lay a hand on Wuming’s disciple.

Though Wuming was a waste, his two disciples were distinguished supermasters across the Nine Provinces.

Even if the two were training outside and didn’t return for years, if they learned that he had harmed Wuming, they would certainly not let him off easily.

So, for now, he could only find an opportunity to eliminate Xu Wendong without anyone knowing.

”Good disciple, quickly get up; your master will take you up the mountain.” Wuming helped Xu Wendong up excitedly, then a longsword appeared under his feet.

The next second, Xu Wendong felt as if the land beneath him was falling, and he and Wuming silently appeared in mid-air.

Shoo!

Accompanied by a faint sound of the wind being split, a sword shadow was left in the air by the longsword, which instantly flew to the back mountain of the Elixir Sect, where there was an endless emerald bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest swayed with the wind, looking like undulating waves.

Especially the rustling sound of bamboo leaves calmed Xu Wendong’s heart instantly.

Deep in the bamboo forest was a bamboo house.

In front of the bamboo house were tables and chairs made of bamboo.

The master and disciple sat before the table, and Wuming, smiling fully, took out a jade gourd, pouring out two cups of fruity and intensely yellow liquid.

Wuming said, ”Come, try this thing.”

”Yes!” Xu Wendong respectfully raised his jade cup and drank the liquid in one gulp.

The liquid tasted sweet, with a rich aroma and a layered flavor.

Xu Wendong could even discern the taste of several fruits.

Indeed, it left a fragrant aftertaste that lingered in the mouth.

At the same time, he felt his Dantian hot and restless once the liquid entered his belly, with a dense True Qi stirring up the True Qi within his Dantian and then merging together, indistinguishable from one another.

”Master, what exactly is this thing? Why does it have such astonishing effects?” Xu Wendong was shocked, faintly sensing signs of a breakthrough.

Wuming laughed and said, ”This is Monkey Wine brought back by your second senior sister. It contains dense spiritual energy from nature and can aid in your cultivation.” He said this while tossing the jade gourd to Xu Wendong, ”Consider it a gift for joining the sect!”

Xu Wendong gently shook the jade gourd in his hand, feeling that there was still more than half a bottle, weighing at least a little over a pound.

Although it wasn’t much,

Xu Wendong knew the value of Monkey Wine, which was no ordinary item, being brewed by spirit monkeys in the mountains from hundreds of fruits.

It went without saying that even in the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, it was an extraordinary treasure.

Xu Wendong shook his head, ”Master, I appreciate your thoughtfulness, but this gift is too precious. You should keep it for your use. Compared to me, you need this treasure more!”

He didn’t know how severe Wuming’s injuries were, but one thing was evident: he needed these heaven and earth treasures more.

Wuming, however, adopted a stern face with an unsatisfied look, ”Have you just become my disciple, only to go against your master’s words?”

”I...” Xu Wendong looked frustrated.

Was this considered defying the master?

He was genuinely thinking of Wuming’s well-being, wasn’t he?

Seeing Xu Wendong left speechless, Wuming also showed a gentle smile, saying, ”A master can sense your filial piety. Indeed, Monkey Wine is no ordinary item, but it holds little meaning for me. Just keep it!”

He had consumed a lot of Monkey Wine, and although it could alleviate his injuries in the early stages, his body had long become immune to its effects.

To him, Monkey Wine was just like an inconsequential cup of juice.

”Yes!”

Xu Wendong eventually kept the Monkey Wine.

Wuming, chuckling, asked, ”Tell me, why did you choose me instead of the Second Elder?”

Wuming was quite surprised by Xu Wendong’s choice of him.

Because any sensible person would know who to choose.

Xu Wendong scratched his head, ”I don’t know the exact reason either. Perhaps it’s because you give me a feeling of kindness and benevolence!”

With a slight smile on his face, Wuming thought, although he was a Golden Core Stage expert, who didn’t like being flattered?

He took a sip of the Monkey Wine before him and asked, ”So, are you implying that the Second Elder is not a kind and benevolent person?”

Xu Wendong also smiled, ”It is said that one’s appearance is shaped by the heart. What kind of person the Second Elder is, master, you surely know better than your disciple.”

Wuming showed a gratified smile, saying, ”Your intuition is quite accurate. Not bad; to grow in the Cultivation Realm, talent, opportunity, wisdom, and intuition are all indispensable.”

After a pause, he looked at Xu Wendong, ”Have you ever dealt with alchemy before?”

Xu Wendong replied truthfully, ”I have been exposed to some alchemy techniques.”

Wuming asked again, ”In your opinion, what is alchemy?”

Xu Wendong pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but say, ”It is to combine suitable medicinal materials, extracting their essence and discarding the dregs.”
