Jiang Yan Becomes a Disciple

What's the matter that you're in such a panic?

Upon hearing Ji Jiuwu's voice, Chu Feng instantly appeared in the courtyard.

Upon seeing his master, Ji Jiuwu immediately exclaimed, "Master, something terrible has happened! A-Yan has fainted!"

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng waved his hand, and the master and disciple instantly disappeared from their original spot, appearing in Jiang Yan's courtyard the next second.

Ji Jiuwu was extremely anxious looking at Jiang Yan, who was foaming at the mouth, but since he didn't know how to practice medicine, he could only stand aside and wait.

Chu Feng glanced at Jiang Yan and said, "This kid is poisoned."

"Ah?"

Ji Jiuwu was stunned into place upon hearing this news.

Chu Feng didn't say much. This kind of poison was nothing to him. He simply flicked his wrist, and a wisp of Spiritual Qi entered Jiang Yan's body. The latter's complexion recovered at a visible speed.

puff...

After spitting out a mouthful of black blood, Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes, looking around in confusion.

Ji Jiuwu immediately stepped forward and asked, "A-Yan, are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan snapped out of his daze and saw Chu Feng standing in the courtyard. He quickly bowed and said, "This junior greets the Shaman God."

No need for formalities.

Chu Feng asked, "Tell me what happened to you?"

Jiang Yan did not hide anything and told him what had happened before. After finishing his work each day, he would go into the mountains alone to look for some plants to see if they were edible or could be used as medicine.

As a result, after accidentally eating a brightly colored flower, he felt dizzy and lightheaded. When he woke up again, he saw Chu Feng and Ji Jiuwu in the courtyard.

"You're really fearless, aren't you?"

Chu Feng joked, "Since you're so eager to learn about herbs, I'll pass on a scroll of scripture to you. It records all sorts of herbs and foods. Once you've thoroughly studied this scripture, come and become my disciple."

Thank you, senior.

Jiang Yan was about to kneel down and kowtow to Chu Feng when Chu Feng stopped him.

"There's no rush to perform such a grand ceremony for me now. You can do so after you've finished studying the scriptures." After saying this, Chu Feng turned and disappeared from the spot.

Watching Chu Feng's disappearing figure, Jiang Yan murmured, "Senior Shaman God is truly a great person!"

Ji Jiuwu said, "You brat, stop praising your master. You should become his disciple as soon as possible so you can pursue your own path to enlightenment."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Yan felt as if he had been enlightened. He cupped his hands towards Ji Jiuwu and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. I was too foolish to have forgotten this point before. I also want to thank you for today's matter."

"Well..."

Ji Jiuwu said nonchalantly, "There's no need for such formalities between us. Just get some rest."

"Um."

Jiang Yan nodded. After seeing Ji Jiuwu off, he sat cross-legged according to the meditation method Ji Jiuwu had taught him a few days ago and began to study the scriptures in his mind.

Soon, the three characters "Shennong Classic" appeared in his mind.

As these three large characters appeared, many words and images flooded Jiang Yan's mind. Below each image was a detailed description of a medicinal herb, and Jiang Yan became engrossed in his study.

After a long while, Jiang Yan felt a splitting headache, so he stopped observing and opened his eyes to find that it was already dark.

"I never imagined I'd be studying this for several hours straight. No wonder my head is throbbing so much. But with this scripture, I can learn about more plants sooner."

Jiang Yan did not force himself to continue studying. He knew that trying to do too much at once would only lead to failure, so he decided to study up to the limit he could handle each day.

After setting himself a small goal, he went to rest. The next morning, he got up and, as usual, followed his senior brother Ji to fetch water and chop wood.

After the two finished, Jiang Yan asked curiously, "Senior brother, you've already become a disciple of Master, why do you still have to do these trivial chores every day?"

Ji Jiuwu smiled and said, "At first, Master used these trivial matters to test me, but as time went on, I got used to it. Besides, if I can't even persevere with such small things, how can I talk about cultivation?"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this. "What Senior Brother says is absolutely right."

Time flies when you're on a spiritual journey; three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yan had grown accustomed to his life of cultivation in the mountains. Although he had been away from home for a long time, he was not worried that his family would be anxious. He had traveled for a year or two before returning home. He could simply go down the mountain again after he had successfully become an apprentice.

Today is the day the Master preaches. These days, as he listens to the Master's sermons, he feels that he has become a different person, but he can't quite put his finger on what is different about him.

An hour later, Chu Feng finished his lecture and turned his gaze to Ji Jiuwu: "Jiuwu, is there anything you don't understand?"

Ji Jiuwu scratched his head. "Master, I feel like I understand everything, but I also don't understand anything at all."

Chu Feng smiled upon hearing this, "You little brat, you're playing riddles with me now."

"This disciple dares not presume, but I feel I still need to go down and ponder it further."

Ji Jiuwu said awkwardly that although he had not been a disciple of his master for long, the more time he spent with his master, the more he felt that his master was incredibly powerful.

Chu Feng: "Alright, you go back and figure it out first. Come back and ask me when you find something you really don't understand."

"Promise."

Ji Jiuwu responded and then stepped aside.

Chu Feng continued, "A-Yan, what about you?"

"Master, your disciple is dull-witted and only absorbed a small part of what you said. However, I have come today to ask you to test my understanding of the Shennong Classic."

Jiang Yan said with a respectful expression.

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng immediately became interested and said, "You've finished studying the Shennong Classic so quickly?"

Jiang Yan nodded. "Not bad."

"Alright, then I'll test you."

Chu Feng began to test Jiang Yan, and the two exchanged questions and answers, and another hour quickly passed.

Ji Jiuwu and Bai Lu, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered by the two's exchange.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Chu Feng said "good" three times in a row, his face showing appreciation. "A-Yan, you have indeed not disappointed me. As the saying goes, there is no better time than today. Jiuwu, go and prepare tea. Today I will accept Jiang Yan as my disciple."

"Promise."

Ji Jiuwu's face lit up with joy upon hearing this; he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Bai Lu, standing to the side, looked at Ji Jiuwu with envy, thinking to herself: When will I be able to become a disciple of this immortal?

A moment later, the preparations for the apprenticeship ceremony were complete.

Chu Feng sat on the stone chair, waiting for Jiang Yan tea and complete the apprenticeship ceremony.

The process went smoothly. After Jiang Yan finished his apprenticeship ceremony, Chu Feng smiled and said, "A-Yan, do you still remember why you came to my Dao-Seeking Sect?"
