As for the matter that was left behind by the old deity last night, I only remember a few vague fragments, so I wasn't very clear on them. So I asked Wu Ji how they took care of the Mountain Elk in the end.

Wu Ji said, Old Half-immortal set up an array, he pulled Mountain Elk inside, and the two of them worked together to bring the thing back to its original form.

It was said in an extremely simple manner, but in those few parts that I vaguely remembered, the fight was extremely intense.

Later on, I asked Wu Ji what was the prototype of that thing.

The corner of Wu Ji's mouth slightly curled downwards as he shook his head and said, "You wouldn't want to know."

I thought about how ugly that thing was even after hundreds of years of cultivation. It could have gone even further on the journey or maybe it didn't know anything.

However, after pausing for a moment, Wu Ji suddenly asked me, "You're almost eighteen, right?"

I nodded and said that my birthday was in the winter months, and that I would be eighteen after my birthday.

Wu Ji looked at me with a profound look, but didn't say anything.

"Do you know about the agreement between me and Old Half-immortal?" He suddenly asked me about my birthday, and I guess he knew that when I was ten years old, my aunt and my parents had made an agreement with the old Daoist family.

Wu Ji nodded, his footsteps did not stop.

"Why did you suddenly ask about this?" I'm surprised.

However, not long after we entered the Xiao Xi Kou, Wu Ji looked at me with a strange gaze. He used to look at me with either the kind and compassionate or serious eyes, which made me feel baffled.

"Just a sudden thought." Wu Ji casually replied.

I stepped on the thick fallen leaves and covered my ankles. I tightened the backpack on my shoulder and heard him ask, "Have you considered what life will be like after the age of eighteen?"

"I am a person who doesn't have much ambition, nor do I have any lofty ambitions. I can be considered the kind that is relatively easy to be satisfied with. I am quite satisfied with eating until I am full, dressed happily every day. I didn't learn very well since I was young, and my parents didn't force me. As long as I take care of my own health, they wouldn't object to my actions. "

Being suddenly asked this slightly heavy question by Wu Ji, I suddenly felt my heart clench.

Although he was speaking in a relaxed manner, his heart suddenly felt empty.

After eighteen years old, it would be the agreed age between Old Half-immortal and I, and at that time, I would officially become a participating disciple.

I had never really thought about how this would change my previous life.

He had always felt that that day was very far away, almost unrealistic, but now that he thought about it carefully, it was only a few months away.

I am not afraid, and do not resist, but for the unknown will always be a little bit hesitant.

After listening to me for a long time without saying anything, Wu Ji stopped and turned back to look at me, "What, afraid?" he asked with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"No!" As a child, I have watched my aunt move her poles and set out on her journey. What is there to be afraid of? Furthermore, if it wasn't for Old Half-immortal's help yesterday, we might not be able to do anything now. This sort of Immortal karma is something that many people wish for but are unable to acquire. "

I know that I always have the problem of being stubborn. I will never admit it no matter how scared I am.

Wu Ji smiled and walked shoulder to shoulder with me. He said that I could choose, that everything was not set in stone and that so many years had passed.

I don't quite understand what he meant.

He thought for a moment and explained it to me. Even if I were to move the pole and erect the Incense Hall, I can choose to come out or go out. And no matter what choice I make, it won't be a breach of agreement with Old Half-immortal.

I've only heard about it from my aunt, but I didn't know it, so I asked what it was about.

After Wu Ji's explanation, I finally understood the difference between the two.

In fact, there was not much of a difference between stepping into the ranks and stepping into the ranks, but one of the most important points was that when disciples set up their Incense Hall, they could request Old Half-immortal's help to look into the matters before them.

In other words, you cannot immediately look into matters related to medical treatment for others. You need to train your own body to a certain point in time so that you can officially look into matters related to medical treatment for others.

It was just that Old Half-immortal had borrowed the body of a Xiang Tong, so he could look into the affairs of patients. Therefore, he gave the Xiang Tong these skills to him, but if Old Half-immortal left successfully one day, or for some other reason, the skills on his body would disappear little by little.

In the end, he would not be able to see the patient and would end up as an ordinary person.

But because there were some people who went out to gather wealth, after Old Half-immortal left, they no longer had a living and would continue to pretend that everything was as it was before, but without the ability, of course they would not be able to get it right, and with just a little bit more, they fell.

However, Daoists were different. After going through the process of training and recuperating, disciples would still need to go with Old Half-immortal to check on other patients.

However, as the boy's cultivation level increased, he would no longer need to be possessed by an immortal. He would also be able to sense something and help people investigate matters.

At that time, it was no longer the passive relationship of being possessed by the immortals, but more of working with Old Half-immortal.

However, there was a circle at the entrance of the participating disciples' Incense Hall. Simply put, it was the way to work for the cologne boy.

He had taken in a lot of work, Old Half-immortal gained merits, and the Xiang Tong gained wealth. It's about mutual benefit.

It was precisely because of this that many people would forcefully set up Incense Hall today in order to amass wealth, but without Immortal karma, they only recruited Rogue Immortals who did not cultivate well and had insufficient cultivation experience. Not only would they not be able to see the climate, they would often cause trouble, and in the end, the Xiang Tong family would not be able to rest at peace.

There were no circles within the Incense Hall of the outer sect disciples, so naturally the amount of work required was relatively less. Relatively speaking, the income obtained was also much less than that of the outer sect disciples.

After I heard Wu Ji's words, I thought for a moment and asked him, "That is to say, the early stage disciples would have a smoother life, and their financial resources would advance greatly.

Wu Ji nodded.

"But in the later stages of the cultivation, if a disciple were to cultivate properly, they would not need to be possessed by an immortal. Even if they were themselves, would they also be able to look after a patient? In other words, the former's abilities were bestowed by the immortals, while the latter's abilities were acquired through their own cultivation? "

Wu Ji nodded again.

"If that's the case, then I must choose a Dao disciple for my long-term plans." I immediately came to a conclusion.

And Wu Ji also reminded me, even if I were to choose disciples and wholeheartedly focus on cultivation, there will definitely come a day when I will be able to cultivate it to its true form.

Furthermore, a human's lifespan was only a few dozen years, and to Old Half-immortal, this was only for a blink of an eye. Many of Old Half-immortal's achievements were not cultivated enough, but he would step on Xiang Tong's next disciple and continue to cultivate.

Therefore, it was not necessary to consider this matter. Even if Old Half-immortal left after cultivating successfully, as long as Xiang Tong was willing to do good during this period, and did not do anything evil, Old Half-immortal would not allow his own disciple to live a peaceful life.

Hearing Wu Ji's strange words, I leaned towards the outer sect disciples one moment and then towards the outer sect disciples the next.

"Then, which one do you think I should choose?" I asked him directly.

Wu Ji paused for a while, and said, in the long run, he thinks that becoming a disciple is more suitable for me, and that it will benefit his own cultivation, only that he has less money.

But there's one important point, and that doesn't mean that I can do it just because I want to.

This was because most of the disciples' predecessors were gods who had been sent into the mortal world to experience tribulation, and there were even those who had accepted missions sent by the gods to turn into mortals.

Perhaps it was the last wish of the immortals who cultivated in the mountains, but after reincarnating, they would no longer remember everything from their past lives, and they would no longer have the mana from their past lives.

But the immortal souls were still around, and with Old Half-immortal's enlightenment, they could cultivate the dao once again.

Wu Ji said as he turned to look at me.

It took me a moment to understand what he meant.

"That is to say, if my previous self was some sort of god or immortal, only people with cultivation could choose to become Daoists. On the contrary, if I was just an ordinary person in my previous life, I would have been appointed as a Daoists."

Wu Ji nodded his head, and said: "Actually it's also good to be able to."

Me: "…"
