I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Li Xuan was taken aback. He stared at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, dressed extravagantly with a Longsword hanging from his waist, and felt somewhat dazed.

“I am Xu Yan from Donghe Prefecture. From a young age, I vowed to find the true Martial Arts. Today, I am fortunate to meet Senior. I beg you to accept me as your disciple. I am determined to practice diligently and will not betray the traditions passed down by you!”

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Looking at the young man with fanatical eyes, reverently kneeling, Li Xuan was dumbfounded. The first thought in his mind was: this kid’s brain might not be fully functional!

No matter how much Li Xuan denied that he was a hidden expert, nor how he denied understanding the cultivation methods of martial arts, Xu Yan refused to believe it and insisted on pledging his loyalty as a disciple. His fanaticism gave Li Xuan a headache.

“I’m not a hidden expert, nor do I understand the methods of martial arts cultivation. You got the wrong person. I am also looking for someone to teach me martial arts!”

“Impossible!”

Xu Yan looked resolute, and said, “Honoured elder, stop trying to deceive me, you are definitely a hidden expert!”

“Look at this place, surrounded by precipitous cliffs, with enchanting scenery. It’s clearly a recluse’s hiding spot. If you aren’t a hidden expert, why would you live here alone?”

“Elder, please accept me as your disciple, I promise never to let you down or waste your teachings!”

Xu Yan continued to kowtow, his eyes brimming with zeal and a determined look.

“I’m not a hidden expert, I have no method of cultivation, I do not take disciples, you’ve seriously got the wrong person…”

Li Xuan looked helpless. Just how stubborn was this kid? He had no idea how he’d gotten through the sinister forest to reach this small village.

Has he become irrevocably obsessed searching for a hidden expert?

“I understand!”

Xu Yan suddenly stood up, with an enlightened expression on his face.

“Becoming a disciple is a matter of great importance, how can it be rushed? I will go back and prepare a ceremonial gift for becoming your disciple!”

As Li Xuan stood there bewildered, Xu Yan ran off and quickly disappeared from sight.

Half a month passed by in the blink of an eye.

During this half month, Li Xuan had been full of regret for not seizing the opportunity to gather more information about the outside world from Xu Yan, or possibly even the chance to leave this small mountain village.

Who would have expected Xu Yan to return again?

and moreover, he brought a gift for becoming his disciple!

He’s completely determined to acknowledge him as his master!

No matter how much he denies it, he stubbornly thinks of him as a hidden expert.

Li Xuan didn’t want to deceive anyone, especially not someone with such an unusual background. He had no cheats or systems, he couldn’t even bear to think about what would happen if his lies were exposed.

So he rejected it again and again, denied it again and again, but Xu Yan was so inflexible, firmly believing that he was a hidden expert, and this belief was unshakeable!

“Honoured elder, here is three hundred taels of gold. I know that practical objects don’t catch an expert’s eyes, but a gift for becoming a disciple cannot be absent, this is my sincerity!”

Xu Yan opened one of the boxes, within which thirty gold bars were neatly arranged.

Li Xuan looked at the gold bars, swallowing his saliva, somewhat tempted, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and insisted, “I don’t take disciples! I’m also not a hidden expert, quickly take it back, I’m only a few years older than you!”

“Although the elder looks young, it must be because of your high cultivation that you maintain your youth!”

Xu Yan was still firmly convinced that he was a hidden expert, and opened the second box.

“This is a thousand-year-old ginseng treasured by my Xu Family, it’s my second ceremonial gift, I hope the elder will accept it!”

Li Xuan swallowed again, looking in the box at that root-complete, thousand-year-old ginseng that was already formed in a human shape, its faint scent of ginseng penetrated into his nostrils, and his whole being seemed to be invigorated.

A thousand-year-old ginseng was undoubtedly a rare luxury. The elder in the village once said that a hundred-year-old ginseng could extend the life of a dying person for three days, greatly increase vitality, and it had miraculous longevity effect.

With its amazing effects, a thousand-year-old ginseng must have even more divine power.
