The Prodigal Son of Condor Heroes: Li Mochou Wants to Pay for Himself

The next morning, Ye Fan and Xiao Longnu moved the pots and various items at the door to the kitchen in the ancient tomb.

After they had breakfast, Ye Fan took the dishes to the kitchen, washed them, and returned to the hall.

Xiao Long Nu said: "Now that you are a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, you have two choices.

First, if you take me as your master, you must listen to me for the rest of your life and you must not leave Mount Zhongnan.

Second, if you don’t want to be my disciple, I will still teach you martial arts. If you can defeat me in the future, you can use your martial arts to fight your way out of this Tomb of the Living Dead.”

Ye Fan frowned and said, "Isn't there a third option?"

Although he didn't know the rules of the Ancient Tomb Sect, he guessed that if he didn't take Xiaolongnu as his disciple, he would definitely not be able to learn the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, because Li Mochou was a lesson for him.

If he were to take Xiaolongnu as his master, he would have to listen to her for the rest of his life and not leave Zhongnan Mountain. This would be a bit too much to ask.

Xiao Long Nu glanced at him and asked, "What choice do you want?"

It was also because she was naturally quiet. If it were someone else, they would have been kicked out if they had negotiated conditions when they came to learn from a master.

Ye Fan said tentatively: "Sister Long, you are not much older than me. If I call you Master, I always feel that I am calling you old. How about you accept a disciple on behalf of the Master?"

Xiao Long Nu frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, come with me."

Afterwards, Ye Fan followed Xiao Longnu closely and entered the back hall together.

Ye Fan felt that this place was extremely empty. Apart from a painting hanging on each of the east and west walls, there were almost no extra furnishings.

His eyes were first attracted by the scroll on the west wall.

The painting depicts two women: one is older, about 25 or 26 years old, concentrating on carefully applying her makeup in front of a mirror;

The other was a maidservant of about fourteen or fifteen years old, who stood quietly by the side serving with a basin in her hand.

Ye Fan looked at the painting carefully.

The mirror in the painting clearly reflected the face of the older woman. Her eyebrows were as long as willow leaves, gently flying between her temples, making her extremely beautiful.

However, when he gazed into the corner of the woman's eyes, he faintly felt a murderous aura emanating from there.

This contradictory temperament made Ye Fan feel a deep sense of awe, as if he was facing not just a painting, but a real person.

At this time, Xiao Longnu pointed at the older girl and said, "This is the founder of our Ancient Tomb Sect. Please kneel down and kowtow to her."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan did not dare to hesitate at all. He immediately knelt on his knees and kowtowed three times respectfully towards the portrait.

Before he could stand up, Xiao Long Nu pointed at the girl dressed as a maid and said, "This is my master. Come kowtow to her too!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan turned his head to look at the portrait, but saw that the girl in the painting was innocent, cute and lovely, with a childish face, which was completely different from Xiao Longnu's cold and elegant temperament.

He thought to himself, "Is this really Xiao Long Nu's master? Why does he look so young..."

However, despite being full of doubts in his heart, Ye Fan still followed Xiaolongnu's instructions and kowtowed three times towards the portrait again.

When Ye Fan stood up again, Xiao Longnu pointed to another portrait hanging on the east wall and said to him, "Spit at that Taoist priest."

Ye Fan looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the Taoist in the portrait was tall and straight, with a long sword on his waist and his right index finger pointing to the northeast corner.

However, this person has his back to the screen, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

Ye Fan understood clearly that the man was Wang Chongyang, so he spat at his portrait as he was told.

Xiao Long Nu nodded and said, "Okay, from now on, I will be your second senior sister, and your senior sister is Li Mochou. If you see her in the future, you must be careful and cautious."

"Hello, Second Senior Sister." Ye Fan climbed up the pole with a look of joy on his face.

Seeing this, Xiao Long Nu said coldly: "Why are you so happy? My skills are not as good as that of the old Taoist of Quanzhen Sect."

Ye Fan said with a smile: "That's because Second Senior Sister, you haven't yet successfully practiced the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra! If you had, how could you not be defeated by those Taoists?"

Xiao Long Nu's eyes narrowed, and she asked sternly, "Where did you learn about the Jade Girl Heart Sutra?"

There was a hint of coldness in her voice, and she obviously doubted Ye Fan's words.

Ye Fan's eyes rolled slightly, and he said calmly, "Grandma Sun told me."

Xiao Long Nu was slightly startled, and said delicately: "The Jade Girl Heart Sutra is not a skill that you can learn at this stage. Let me see if there is any way to repair your Dantian."

Before she finished her words, she had already reached out and grabbed Ye Fan's arm, and extended a trace of weak internal force, which gathered towards his dantian like a trickle.

Not long after, Xiaolongnu's eyes suddenly became cold, and then she swung her palm fiercely, knocking Ye Fan back several steps.

Her tone was extremely cold, as if it contained frost: "How dare you lie to me!"

Fortunately, she didn't use her full strength. Ye Fan just covered his chest with a look of confusion and doubt on his face, and then shouted loudly: "Where did I deceive you?"

Xiao Long Nu's face was as gloomy as water, and she responded coldly: "There is nothing wrong with your Dantian at all."

Ye Fan immediately shouted: "This is impossible, you clearly checked it yesterday!"

A sneer of disdain appeared on Xiao Long Nu's lips: "Then why don't you try to use your own power!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan immediately sat cross-legged on the ground without saying a word, closed his eyes and began to practice his skills.

Sure enough, he immediately felt that there was nothing unusual about his dantian and it was not damaged at all.

At this moment, Ye Fan was completely confused, muttering to himself: "What on earth is going on? Zhao Zhijing clearly destroyed my Dantian yesterday!"

His mind was in a mess and he was completely unable to comprehend what was happening before his eyes.

Then an idea came to him, and he immediately started practicing the Xiantian Pure Yang Gong according to what he saw on the tortoise shell last night.

Sure enough! The meridians that were dead yesterday actually began to have Qi flowing!

Moreover, this true energy is like a surging torrent, rushing endlessly through the meridians!

Ye Fan was both surprised and happy. He knew very well that he must have had some kind of miracle that allowed him to restore his Dantian and practice the Xiantian Pure Yang Gong.

Seeing his joy, Xiao Longnu said with a cold face, "Now that things have come to this, you have nothing to say, right?"

Ye Fan finally woke up from his dream and explained with a smile: "My dear Second Senior Sister, you really misunderstood me.

How could I lie to you? Yesterday, you and Granny Sun both checked my Dantian in person, and it was indeed full of holes after being beaten by Zhao Zhijing.

If you don't believe me, do you think you won't believe Granny Sun either?"

Xiao Long Nu frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then how did your Dantian recover?"

Ye Fan proudly took out the tortoise shell from his arms and showed it off to her: "It's all thanks to this Xiantian Pure Yang Gong."

Xiao Long Nu's eyes narrowed, and she said in a serious tone, "Let me see!"

Ye Fan did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly threw the tortoise shell over. Xiao Longnu stretched out her hand lightly and caught the tortoise shell accurately, then walked to a brightly lit place and carefully examined the contents on it.

As time passed, Xiaolongnu's expression became more and more solemn. She raised her head and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"This technique is so magical that it can actually restore your Dantian overnight. But I have never seen the words on it before. It seems to be an ancient and mysterious rune."

Ye Fan walked to Xiao Longnu with a smile and said easily: "Second Senior Sister, if you like this tortoise shell, then I'll give it to you. After all, I have already learned the martial arts recorded on it, and there is not much use in keeping it."

Xiao Long Nu shook her head slightly and answered firmly: "This is your chance. I cannot take away someone else's favorite thing at will. However, the origin of this technique is unknown. You must be extra careful when practicing it. Don't rush it, or you will go astray."

Ye Fan nodded quickly, and then he asked expectantly: "Second Senior Sister, then according to the sect's rules, am I now considered a formal disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect?"

Xiao Long Nu nodded slightly, "Well, since you have already performed the apprenticeship ceremony, you are now a disciple of my Ancient Tomb Sect. You must practice hard in the future and don't bring shame to my Ancient Tomb Sect."

"Yes, Second Senior Sister!" Ye Fan answered excitedly.

He finally became a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and was one step closer to practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.
