Chapter 12 Apprenticeship
"Then what is obsession?" Zhang Tie looked at old man Qiong cautiously and asked uncertainly.

After hearing Zhang Tie's question, Old Man Qiong nodded and said, "You are a teachable boy." He then stretched out his hand, pointed in the direction of the flying boat, and said mysteriously, "The Moon-shaking Sect is ahead. When you get there, you will naturally understand what it means to be possessed by a demon."

Zhang Tie was completely confused when he heard this, but he did not show it. He just sat down cross-legged and began to meditate quietly.

"Does this old man Qiong think that my Flying Goose Technique is very similar to his Invisible Escape Technique and thinks that I have talent and wants to take me in as his disciple? Or does he think that I am practicing fast? Do he think that I have a talent for practice?"

Before Zhang Tie could figure out anything, the flying boat had already entered the Yanyue Sect. As soon as he entered the sect, Old Man Qiong put away his flying boat.

"Wait for me here!" Old Man Qiong left a word and flew towards the main peak of Yanyue Sect.

Only Zhang Tie was left standing there with a confused look on his face.

"Who is this man?" "Have you seen him?"

"Shh, I just saw Elder Qiong, be careful not to be heard by him!"

Listening to the discussions around him, Zhang Tie frowned uncomfortably, but thinking that this was the Yanyue Sect, he, a person of unknown identity, should not run around everywhere.

Fortunately, not long after, Old Man Qiong returned to Zhang Tie's side. He said to Zhang Tie with a smile on his face, "Come on, I'll take you to see why you became obsessed!"

"Go and see?" Zhang Tie couldn't quite keep up with the old man Qiong's train of thought, but he didn't have time to think about it. The scenery changed again, and Zhang Tie suddenly appeared on a river.

At this time, a huge silver monster over 20 feet long was madly biting a green monster above the river. The fighting aura of the two monsters made Zhang Tie, who had just arrived here, suddenly have his hair stand on end.

Next to the monster, a human figure with an even more terrifying aura was making hand gestures and releasing one powerful spell after another, beating the monster in the river into a miserable state.

"Boy, that cultivator is Li Huayuan, a Jindan cultivator from Huangfeng Valley. He has a three-yang body and his cultivation is quite good." Old man Qiong said, pointing at Li Huayuan who was exuding a powerful aura from a distance.

“The purpose of cultivating immortals is to become stronger. Once you become stronger than anyone else, you won’t have any worries.” Old man Qiong looked at Zhang Tie who was standing next to him, and then his figure instantly turned into a bubble.

Li Huayuan, who was fighting against the monster in the distance, suddenly felt something in his heart, and then he felt a pain in his head. He was slapped on the head from behind by old man Qiong.

Li Huayuan, who was about to explode with rage, suddenly saw clearly who was attacking him. The anger on his face instantly disappeared by half. He said to old man Qiong with an unpleasant expression, "Senior Qiong, what does this mean?"

Old man Qiong grinned and said, "Nothing, just bringing my apprentice out to play." Then, Old man Qiong's figure flashed and disappeared in front of Li Huayuan, whose face was ashen.

Zhang Tie watched Old Man Qiong's operation from a distance, and there was only one question in his mind, "?"

"Boy, did you see what I did just now?" Old Man Qiong said with a smirk, "I slapped him, but he didn't dare to say a word and even called me senior. Why do you think that is?"

Zhang Tie: "Is it because you are strong?"

"That's right! This is the inner demon I want to tell you about!" Old Man Qiong said proudly, "You have an inner demon because you are not strong enough! With strength, you will not be afraid of any inner demon!"

Zhang Tie nodded blankly. This really makes sense!

Seeing Zhang Tie's surprised expression, Old Man Qiong felt that he had shocked Zhang Tie with his powerful cultivation. He then put his hands behind his back, turned sideways, and said to Zhang Tie, "Would you like to be my disciple?"

Although Zhang Tie had expected that Old Man Qiong would accept him as his apprentice, this behavior was too strange. However, Zhang Tie could feel that Old Man Qiong wanted to help him get rid of his inner demons, so he said solemnly, "Disciple Zhang Tie greets the teacher."

When Old Man Qiong heard that Zhang Tie wanted to become his disciple, he immediately smiled happily, "Haha, good, from now on you are my disciple, let's go back to Yanyue Sect." Then the two of them turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the distance. ...

"Old Monster Qiong, you're going too far!" Li Huayuan was no longer suppressed when he saw old man Qiong leaving. All his anger turned into a series of spells and madly smashed towards the monster in the distance. The monster that was originally fighting with the silver giant was instantly smashed into pieces.

"Hmph!" Li Huayuan snorted coldly. Seeing that the monster's body was shattered by him, he casually put away the monster's inner core and flew away.

Yellow Maple Valley.

"That's right. I am responsible for distributing various sundries. If you need anything, I can distribute it to you!" Old Master Zhang, surnamed Ye, looked proud and said to Han Li indifferently.

Han Li sneered in his heart, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and finally decided to give up the Foundation Establishment Pill in exchange for the job of guarding the medicine garden.

However, at this moment, his sound transmission talisman suddenly moved, interrupting Han Li's words. "Uncle Master Ye, please wait a moment. This is a sound transmission from a close friend of mine."

Han Li then opened his sound transmission talisman, "Xiao Han, I have already taken the Half-step Nascent Soul master as your brother Zhang. Don't be afraid of being alone in the Yellow Maple Valley. I can help you with anything!"

Han Li: “…”

After a long while, when Elder Ye's patience was almost exhausted, Han Li smiled and said, "Uncle Master, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. But I still can't give up this Foundation Establishment Pill. Sorry!"

Then Han Li left the room without looking back.

"You! Just wait for me!" The only person left in the room was Elder Ye, whose forehead was bulging with veins and whose face was ferocious, roaring continuously.

However, Han Li did not find anything to be scary about it. He just thought that the man was really noisy.

three days later.

"Your mission is to go to the spirit stone mine to mine!" Elder Ye looked at Han Li, who had an indifferent expression on his face, and sneered in his heart.

"Thank you, uncle-master!" Han Li accepted the task card given by the old man surnamed Ye with an expressionless face, and then left.

"You want to go mining?" Zhang Tie said to Han Li with a strange look on his face, but he was thinking, "Shouldn't Han Li be guarding the herb garden?"

After Han Li left the place where the task was assigned, he contacted Zhang Tie directly. Although he had Zhang Tie's guarantee, Han Li still felt that he had to be prepared, so he contacted Zhang Tie decisively.

"That's right. There was an elder named Ye who was in charge of assigning tasks. He wanted to force me to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill. I refused, so he sent me to a spiritual stone mine in Xu Country to mine."

"You didn't change? Wait, Xu Country?" Zhang Tie didn't care why Han Li suddenly changed his mind. He couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly remembered, "Isn't that ancient teleportation array in a mine in Xu Country?"

Zhang Tie thought of this and asked hurriedly, "So what are you going to do?"

"I plan to go to the mine to mine." Han Li said, "Actually, it doesn't matter where I go now. I'm still at the eleventh level of Qi training. No matter how many Qi-boosting pills I take, they're useless."

At this point, Han Li gave a bitter laugh, "Brother Zhang, do you have a natural spiritual root? Why can you build your foundation directly without the foundation-building pill?"
