A passerby in a horror movie

"Tingting, Xiaotian, come with me."

Uncle Jiu called Ren Tingting and Li Haotian into the main hall.

Then Uncle Nine first told Ren Tingting about some Taoist rules and precepts, and asked her to remember them.

Then he taught Ren Tingting the cultivation methods for the first three chapters of the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing.

"This is the main cultivation method of my Maoshan Sect. I will only give you the first three chapters. If you can master the first chapter within half a year and successfully enter the field, you will have passed the test."

Uncle Nine handed the martial arts manual to Ren Tingting and then said.

If Ren Tingting can master the first chapter of the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture within six months, then her aptitude is quite good.

She'll at least be no worse than Qiu Sheng, so Uncle Jiu is confident he can train Ren Tingting. After all, in the current environment, if someone has poor cultivation aptitude, they really can't cultivate.

If she still can't get the basics within six months, she'll have to give up. After all, you can't force someone to have the aptitude for cultivation. If she tries to cultivate without the aptitude, it will only waste Ren Tingting's time.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiu."

Ren Tingting took the martial arts manual and then kowtowed to Uncle Jiu.

Then, Uncle Nine explained the contents of the technique and cultivation skills to Ren Tingting again.

"If you have any questions, you can ask Xiaotian. You can also learn some martial arts skills whenever you have time every day."

Uncle Jiu looked at the two of them and gave them instructions.

After listening, Ren Tingting looked up at Li Haotian, but quickly lowered her head again after meeting his gaze, seemingly lost in thought.

For the next period of time, Ren Tingting went out early and returned late every day to study and cultivate with Uncle Jiu.

Li Haotian also continued to learn magic, talisman drawing, and martial arts from Uncle Nine.

When I have time, I'll also give Ren Tingting some pointers.

Ren Tingting has no talent for martial arts; her punches are weak and lack any aggression.

However, after learning for half a month, I've become quite proficient, and at least I have a little bit of self-defense ability.

As for her cultivation techniques, Ren Tingting had not yet made a breakthrough, but she had gradually entered a state of focus, and she had quite a few deities on mind.

After more than half a month of practice, Li Haotian finally drew his first successful talisman.

Perhaps having found his rhythm, after successfully drawing the first one, Li Haotian drew other talismans, all of which were completed quickly.

Of course, these are all low-level talismans.

Drawing more advanced talismans was still very difficult for Li Haotian, since drawing talismans required the support of magical power.

The runes of high-level talismans are extremely complex, and Li Haotian often couldn't persist until the end before his magic power was exhausted.

However, being able to draw a low-level talisman in such a short time is already quite a talent, and at least Uncle Nine is very satisfied.

In terms of martial arts, Li Haotian's talent is somewhat inferior to his magic, but he has a foundation in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), so he can learn it relatively easily.

After being taught and corrected by Uncle Jiu, he can now fight Qiu Sheng for dozens of rounds when he practices boxing.

Two more months passed in this way.

That night, Li Haotian sat cross-legged on the bed, feeling the abundant magical power within his body, and began to meditate on the contents of the sixth chapter of the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture.

He quickly got into the zone.

The deities within him exerted their power, helping him circulate his magical energy. Before long, Li Haotian felt his magical energy surging, and the space within his dantian expanded considerably.

"boom."

A slight rumbling sound rang out from his dantian, and Li Haotian immediately opened his eyes.

"Ha, I've finally broken through to the second level."

Li Haotian was overjoyed.

After more than two months of cultivation, he finally broke through to the sixth chapter of the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture, which is the second level of refining essence into qi.

After breaking through to the second level, he could clearly feel that the magical power in his dantian had grown much stronger, and even the summoning talisman was nourished as a result.

Li Haotian began to slowly stabilize his cultivation.

At the same time, it's unclear whether they were influenced by Li Haotian's luck.

Ren Tingting, who also meditates and cultivates daily at the Ren family, is also about to have good fortune. A certain deity that she had been unable to contemplate before suddenly appeared in her mind.

Immediately afterwards, Ren Tingting felt something strange happening inside her body.

A faint stream of magical power flowed through the meridians and finally entered the dantian.

Ren Tingting felt warm all over, especially in her lower abdomen.

Having received instruction from Uncle Nine over this period, Ren Tingting was already mentally prepared for this situation, which was a sign that she had entered the first chapter of the cultivation technique.

She finally cultivated her magical powers and passed Uncle Nine's test.

Ren Tingting was overjoyed, but she also remembered Uncle Jiu's teachings that after cultivating magic power, one should not stop immediately, but should slowly stabilize it. So Ren Tingting began to guide the magic power.

Overnight, both Ren Tingting and Li Haotian had made considerable gains.

So they all planned to tell Uncle Nine the good news in the morning.

Ren Tingting, in particular, woke up her father before dawn to tell him the good news.

Then he had Ren Fa take the apprenticeship gifts and go with him to the mortuary.

"Oh, Tingting, why are you here so early today? Master hasn't gotten up yet."

"Oh, and Mr. Ren, you've come too."

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Wencai rushed out of the kitchen and greeted Ren Tingting and Ren Fa with a smile.

As he spoke, he welcomed them in.

"Tingting, don't worry. Uncle Jiu isn't going to run away anyway. By the way, if you really have cultivated magical power, can you let Dad see it too?"

Ren Fa was pulled out of bed early in the morning by Ren Tingting. His head was still a little fuzzy. Seeing his daughter walking around, he quickly tried to persuade her.

"Dad, I've only just started learning, I haven't learned any magic yet."

Ren Tingting looked embarrassed when she heard Ren Fa's words. She had only just started learning magic, how could she know any spells?

At this moment, Uncle Nine and Li Haotian were also called up by Wen Cai.

When Uncle Nine entered the main hall and saw that Ren Fa had also come over, he instantly understood what was going on.

Looking at Tingting, sure enough, Uncle Nine sensed a faint magical power emanating from her.

"Uncle Jiu, I have mastered the basics of cultivation."

After Ren Tingting arrived at Uncle Jiu's place, she happily ran over to him and said something.

At the same time, she looked at Uncle Nine with anticipation.

"Great, Tingting, you really didn't disappoint me."

Uncle Jiu was also very happy to hear what Ren Tingting said.

Ren Tingting mastered the basics of cultivation in just three months, which is much better than Qiu Sheng's aptitude, and even comparable to his back then. Although she is still far behind Li Haotian, she is already quite good.

With Ren Tingting accepted as his successor, his legacy was finally secured.

"Uncle Jiu, what do you think about this apprenticeship?"

Seeing that Uncle Nine was satisfied, Ren Fa stood up and said to him.

"Now that you have passed the test, I will formally accept you as my disciple."

He nodded and said to Ren Tingting.

"Disciple Ren Tingting greets Master."

Ren Tingting immediately knelt down and bowed.

Taking on apprentices is no small matter, so Uncle Jiu called Qiu Sheng and the others over as well.

In the presence of several witnesses, he accepted Ren Tingting's tea and apprenticeship gifts, thus officially accepting Ren Tingting as his disciple.
