487. Getting Started

Xiaoyao Sect, Shuiliandong Mansion.

Among the many buildings in the sect, this cave is one of the few that was built in advance by Xiaoyao himself using magic, because this is the practice place of Xiaoyao Sect’s second-most cultivator after the sect leader, deputy sect leader Ma En.

.

At first glance, Shuiliandong Mansion looks like an ordinary modern building, but once you walk in, you will realize that the space inside is much more spacious than it looks from the outside. Although the decoration inside is not like that in the world of cultivation, it does not look like a modern building either.

The style is closer to the ancient style of the Eastern Federation, but it also has all the modern facilities.

Moreover, the cave itself has various formations arranged by Xiaoyao himself to prevent outside prying eyes. He did this very well because he was spied on when he was talking to Ma En.

At this time, Xiaoyao was standing in the main hall of this cave. There was strong spiritual energy everywhere, and these spiritual energy did not exist in the fog, but were melted out through the spiritual energy pill, and then used the spirit gathering array.

Since the Dharma is controlled in Ma En's cave, his named disciples will also be able to enjoy the spiritual energy in the future.

And his direct disciples also have residences specially used for cultivation. Each room there is equipped with a separate supply of spirit gathering arrays and spiritual energy pills, which is not even inferior to those of famous and upright sects.

Two young people who will enjoy the best treatment in the sect in the future are standing behind Xiaoyao.

And Ma En was sitting on the main seat opposite them.

"From now on, Ma En will be your master." Xiaoyao said, "Do you understand?"

Luan Linghua and Shen Tianyi both lowered their heads slightly:

"Hello, Master!"

After saying that, they walked to the table one after another, picked up teacups and served tea to Ma En according to the pre-rehearsed procedure. Ma En could see that they were all very cautious, as if they were afraid of doing something wrong.

But in fact, Ma En had no respect for this so-called process at all. He could not understand Xiaoyao's insistence on carrying out the apprenticeship ceremony, and he had no idea what the significance of it was.

However, he also took advantage of the apprenticeship process to quietly invade their minds with telepathy, covertly and quickly read the memories of the two disciples in the first half of their lives, and just as he thought...

There is nothing wrong with them. Ma En can sense many sincere and clear emotions in their minds. These memories cannot be faked, and even if they are, they cannot match their life trajectories.

This means that the pasts of the two of them must be clean, especially Luan Linghua, who is a child of the Federation. It is almost impossible for her to be an undercover agent arranged by Seraen, and Shen Tianyi has no doubts about her.

But the more this happened, the more wary and suspicious Ma En became about them. He did not really think that the problem could only be with the second disciple just because Luan Linghua was a member of the Federation, and it was even less likely that he would give up or lower his suspicion of them because of this.

of doubt.

After all, judging from the abilities that Serran has shown in several attacks and what he has learned recently, it is not surprising that any of them is Serran's undercover agent. Even if both of them are related to Serran, it is normal.

.

But in fact, no matter who is Serran's undercover, it is not a bad thing for him. Ma En is afraid that both of them really have nothing to do with Serran, so that he will not be able to carry out his own plan.

In fact, if we put aside the sensibility and analyze it, it is normal for none of them to be Serran's back-up man. When Xiaoyao found the disciple Shen Tianyi, he had not yet negotiated with the Federation, and Federation disciples like Luan Linghua were even more

It couldn't be someone from Serran, and the recruitment of disciples was completed in a very short period of time.

Even if Serran is already very powerful, it is impossible for him to arrange his spies into the Xiaoyao Sect in such a short period of time, let alone directly become his disciples.

But this is not a problem for Ma En. As long as he can never show any flaws and perform as planned, it doesn't matter when Serran's undercover approaches him.

Ma En calmly accepted the tea offer:

"Very good, you will be my disciples from now on."

After hearing his too brief words, Xiaoyao stood nearby and couldn't help but add:

"On the path of spiritual practice, Master is like the relationship between parents and teachers to his disciples. I hope you can respect and thank Master for his dedication to you. Master is the teacher second only to your parents.

"And in many cases, the master will teach you much more than your parents. What he wants to teach you is definitely not only the so-called immortality and various spells, but also how to walk on this path and other paths.

"You have to know that this kind of contribution is not something you naturally deserve. You should be grateful for it."

Luan Linghua and Shen Tianyi both showed sincere expressions when they heard this, and said in response:

"I see."

Ma En didn't know what they understood, but he still followed the process according to Xiaoyao's instructions:

"You may know something about me, or you may have never heard my name in the past."

Shen Tianyi is naturally the disciple who doesn't understand. In fact, he has not fully realized what happened to him and around him during this period, and he is still a little confused in his heart.

However, he felt strong gratitude to Xiaoyao for saving his grandfather, and Xiaoyao also briefly explained Ma En's identity before bringing him over - he was the deputy sect master of this sect and Xiaoyao's top disciple.

Therefore, he was full of simple respect for Ma En, whom Xiaoyao introduced.

Another disciple, Luan Linghua, was in the opposite situation to Shen Tianyi. She had heard of Ma En's name very early, and before coming here, her parents and other members of the family specially introduced it to her.

he.

Members of the mysterious organization lurking in the Salvation Alliance once took away Shenxiao's sister when she was defeated, which deeply affected the federal plan for Shenxiao. In the future, they also led the remnants of the Salvation Alliance to fight against the Southern Federation.

Federation, and achieved quite good results in protecting the members of the Salvation Alliance of the Southern Federation.

After realizing that the sacrifice of the Salvation Alliance may no longer be meaningful, he also brokered an armistice agreement between the Salvation Alliance and the Federation, and condescended to join the Federation as a former member of the Salvation Alliance.

But in fact, the Federation has no idea that Ma En is actually a member of the mysterious organization who entered the Federation through the Salvation League, and everything he did in the Salvation League was just for this purpose.

Then Ma En seized the opportunity within the Federation and gained the trust of Shadow, and then helped the Federation do several things one after another, but his real purpose was actually to contact Shenxiao.

If he is allowed to continue doing this, maybe one day in the future he can really bring a lot of help to Shenxiao, but fortunately some time ago, allies helped the federation find out what Ma En had done.

He once assassinated a young member of the federal politicians, the "notorious" Shu Yun.

Therefore, Luan Linghua's feelings for Ma En are extremely complicated. Although she does not like Shu Yun very much, she is considered a member of the federal politician family anyway. Strictly speaking, her status is the same as hers.

Therefore, Luan Linghua felt a bit fearful and resistant towards Ma En who killed Shu Yun.

Moreover, Ma En's deeds also showed what a terrible person he was, which also intensified Luan Linghua's fear of Ma En, a person with top abilities. However, if this was the case, then her emotions could not be said to be complicated.

Luan Linghua's second feeling for Ma En also stems from what he did.

Although she is not actually a few years younger than Shen Xiao, Luan Linghua actually grew up listening to Shen Xiao's stories. Before the war between the Federation and Shen Xiao, the young children of the Federation's politician families often discussed this name.

And every time when they mentioned Shen Xiao's name, a strong sense of pride arose in their hearts. They would often discuss how many foreign warriors Shen Xiao had defeated and be proud of this powerful man representing the Federation.

.

At that time, the Federation actually promoted Shenxiao in an extremely positive image. Although now I think about it, it might just be their way of paralyzing Shenxiao, but it is undeniable that Shenxiao once had many admirers.

After all, she is so strong.

It is precisely because of this that in the past, they would often praise Shen Xiao's character. They all knew that Shen Xiao was an almost perfect federal strongman, so they also knew very well who she was.

Although the federal government's imprisonment of Shen Xiao is semi-public, the reasons are not particularly clear to politicians like Luan Linghua who have not yet officially embarked on official careers, but this ambiguity is the answer.

She didn't hear anyone say that Shenxiao did anything wrong, which meant that she probably didn't do anything wrong.

Therefore, as a normal young person, it was difficult for her not to feel some admiration for Ma En.

Overall, it can be said that she respected and feared her master.

"But you will definitely know in the future that I am actually not a professional practitioner." Ma En didn't know what they were thinking, but just continued, "Even my relationship with Xiaoyao is very special."

Xiaoyao also nodded in agreement:

"Although Ma En is my disciple, his more important identity is that of my deputy sect leader."

Maan went on to say:

"So in fact, I don't practice often, and I may even never break through to the golden elixir in this life, which is the so-called Level IV that the federation often talks about. But if you practice diligently, you may reach this level.

"But you don't have to worry that I can't teach you well. Although my own cultivation will always be building the foundation, I actually still have a good understanding of the cultivation itself, and my achievements in other fields are actually equivalent to the cultivation path.

I am a Nascent Soul monk, which is why I don’t put my energy into practice.

"Besides, I also have some matters of my own to deal with, so I may not be able to teach you all the time.

"So if you really encounter some problems that I can't solve very easily or don't have time to solve, you can also go to my junior sister Guan Yi for advice. She is a monk who has perfected the golden elixir."

The two disciples nodded quickly and responded one after another to show that they understood this.

Ma En looked at them and nodded slightly. He really hoped that they would really listen to this sentence, because the sentence that he had something to deal with was actually the important information he had hidden in the entire paragraph.

Something he wanted Serran to know.

Ma En then looked at the two disciples and said:

"Okay, now that you have joined my sect, I will also teach you how to practice. The most important thing is to pursue the immortal way of immortality, and the second is your own Taoism.

"But you don't need to consider the latter in the short term, and practice is not suitable for just practicing the immortal way. Blindly indulging in the way of immortality may slow down your practice, so you also need to practice other ways. This is also

You can find the prerequisites for your own Taoism.

"Do you know of any other Taoism that can be practiced?"

The young man didn't know what Ma En was asking, but Ma En already knew this because he had been doing basic physical training under Xiaoyao's arrangements during this period, so he immediately looked at the young woman next to him.

.

Luan Linghua immediately replied confidently:

"Well, I have read a lot of books during this period, and they mention various Taoist methods, including elixirs, weapon refining, killing, weapons, talismans, formations, arithmetic, etc.
