Qiu Yan understood what his master meant. No matter what you do, you can't do it without talent and hard work. As for luck, no one can control it, so it can be basically ruled out. If luck is ruled out, then Qiu Yan can only rely on fate and hard work. He has no problem with hard work, but he doesn't know if he has talent. Thinking of this, Qiu Yan nodded and asked: "Master, I understand what you mean, but do you think I have talent for cultivation? After all, I have never been exposed to such things before."

After hearing Qiu Yan's question, Qiu Yan's master thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know what your cultivation talent is. I will know after the actual test."

"Oh, then if after the test you find that my cultivation talent is very poor, will you still accept me as your disciple?"

Qiu Yan's question was not just a random thought, but was generally the case. It was like when he was in school, the teachers always liked those who studied well. As for those students who did not study well and liked to make trouble, if the teacher had the final say, they would definitely be expelled from school. Therefore, Qiu Yan was worried that if he did not have good talent, he would be abandoned by his teacher.

"Haha." After hearing Qiu Yan's words, Master Qiu Yan laughed and said to Qiu Yan, "If I accept disciples based on talent, then I can decide whether to accept you as my disciple after testing your talent. There is no need to abandon you after discovering that you are not talented enough." After saying that, Master Qiu Yan put his hands behind his back and continued, "I have never accepted disciples in thousands of years. You are the first. I do not accept disciples based on talent, but on people. Because in my opinion, diligence is the best talent. As long as you are willing to endure hardships and work hard, no matter how poor your talent is, I will teach you wholeheartedly and will never abandon you."

After hearing what the master said, Qiu Yan still felt uneasy, but at the same time he felt a lot more relieved.

"Master, don't worry. I will practice hard and will never let you down!" Qiu Yan said, then looked at the master curiously and asked, "But Master, you haven't accepted any disciples for thousands of years. Why did you think of accepting me as your disciple today? Is it because I am from another world?" Qiu Yan was quite curious about this question, because according to what the master said, he should be the legendary hermit, and such people generally would not easily accept disciples, at least that's how it is played on TV, so Qiu Yan was curious why the master accepted him as a disciple.

"So..." After hearing Qiu Yan's words, Qiu Yan's master didn't know how to answer for a moment. He couldn't just tell Qiu Yan that he wanted to find an apprentice to inherit his legacy because he didn't have long to live, right? But as a master, he didn't want to lie to Qiu Yan, so after thinking about it, he said to Qiu Yan, "The reason why I want to take you as my apprentice is because of God's will, or your luck. You appeared in front of me when I wanted to take you in. This is fate! In addition, I have checked your memory and know that you are a kind and upright person, which is also to my taste, so I decided to take you in as my apprentice."

What Master Qiu Yan said was all true. If he hadn't known that he would not live long, he would not have thought of taking in a disciple. And when he wanted to take in a disciple and pass on what he had learned, Qiu Yan was the only one by his side. Plus, he had checked Qiu Yan's memory before and knew that Qiu Yan was a good person. Otherwise, Qiu Yan would not have had the chance to meet him and would have died, let alone take him in as a disciple. So it might really be God's will that he took Qiu Yan in as a disciple.

"God's will?" Qiu Yan thought about it for a while after hearing what his master said, and then nodded deeply. After all, his master fell from the sky, so it was normal to say that all this was God's will.

Seeing that Qiu Yan didn't ask any more questions, Master Qiu Yan looked up at the sky and said, "Well, it's getting late. Let's go back to the wooden house first. When we get back to the wooden house, I will test your talent, and then I will tell you in detail about the next training." After that, Qiu Yan's master started walking towards the wooden house again.

Hearing that there would be a talent test, Qiu Yan felt happy and nervous. He wanted to know his talent for cultivation, but was afraid that his talent was too poor. However, whether it was good or bad, it was something he had to experience, so after thinking about it, Qiu Yan didn't say much. He just nodded and followed his master.

In this way, the master and the apprentice walked forward silently for about ten minutes and then came out of the peach forest. After coming out of the peach forest, Qiu Yan saw a wooden house covered by a blue light shield in front of him. The wooden house was not big and very simple. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary three-room wooden house. When they walked about ten meters in front of the wooden house, Qiu Yan's master stopped and said to Qiu Yan, "We are here. This is where we will live from now on." After saying that, Qiu Yan's master waved his hand, and the blue light shield covering the wooden house disappeared. Then he said to Qiu Yan, "Let's go! Let's go in."

Qiu Yan's master walked towards the wooden house first. Seeing this, Qiu Yan followed behind his master and asked curiously as he walked, "Master, what was that blue light just now?"

"That's a barrier, used to protect the cabin." Qiu Yan's master walked to the door of the cabin. He pushed the door open and walked inside while explaining to Qiu Yan, "This cabin was built by me more than 2,000 years ago. If we don't use a barrier to protect it, you and me will have to rest in the peach forest today."

Qiu Yan understood what the master meant. Generally speaking, an ordinary wooden house should have been rotten after more than 2,000 years, but the wooden house in front of him did not look very new, but there was no sign of decay. This was really amazing. Thinking of this, Qiu Yan also walked into the wooden house and took a look at it. He found that the furnishings in the wooden house were very simple. There was only a square table and four chairs in the middle of the main room. As for the doors of the rooms on the left and right sides, they were all closed. Qiu Yan could not see clearly inside, but with this clear view, Qiu Yan could not guess that the rooms on the left and right sides were probably also very simple. After all, the master lived here alone at that time, so he naturally would not make too many troublesome things. However, although it was simple, the environment in the wooden house was very clean. It did not look like a building that had been there for more than 2,000 years. There was not even dust on the table. This might also be the credit of the enchantment!

After entering the wooden house, Qiu Yan's master sat down in front of the square table. He looked at Qiu Yan and said, "Okay, now let's test your cultivation talent and attributes so that I can make a future cultivation plan for you."

After saying that, Qiuyan's master waved his hand, and a transparent glass ball appeared out of thin air. The glass ball was not big, only slightly bigger than an egg. After taking out the glass ball, Qiuyan's master handed it to Qiuyan, and then said to Qiuyan, "Come, hold it in your hand."

Qiu Yan naturally didn't know what the use of holding the glass ball would be, but since the master said so, Qiu Yan had to do it. So he took the glass ball and held it tightly in his hand, but after holding it, Qiu Yan didn't find any changes in the glass ball or his palm. He just felt that the glass ball was a little cold.

"Master, this...?" Qiu Yan wanted to ask why there was no response, but he didn't know how to ask, so he looked at the master with a confused face. Master Qiu Yan saw Qiu Yan's confused look, smiled gently, and then said, "Don't be anxious, close your eyes first, and then use your heart to feel the crystal ball in your hand."

After listening to the master's words, Qiu Yan closed his eyes, and then began to feel the crystal ball in his hand with his heart. Although he felt it with his heart, Qiu Yan could only feel that the crystal ball was a little cold, and there was no other feeling. Just like that, after about ten seconds, Qiu Yan felt that the crystal ball in his hand was not so cold, and even became a little warm. Qiu Yan thought that the crystal ball was warmed up by himself, but slowly Qiu Yan felt something was wrong, because the crystal ball was getting hotter and hotter, and it had completely exceeded his body temperature. This temperature could definitely not be warmed up. At this moment, Qiu Yan's master spoke, "Okay, you can open your eyes."

After hearing what the master said, Qiu Yan opened his eyes and found that the crystal ball in his hand actually emitted a turquoise light. Although the light was very faint, the crystal ball was indeed emitting light.
