Chen Hongyuan is not young anymore. He has been practicing Taoism for about the same age as Zhang Leqian, but his son is still young. Not only does he have to earn good deeds for his son to redeem the Foundation Building Pills, but he also has to make connections for his son Chen Guangning.
In case Chen Guangning fails to build the foundation, the road ahead will be smoother.
So although Chen Hongyuan is good at refining weapons, he is very kind-hearted.
After receiving Zhang Zhixuan's request letter, Chen Hongyuan thought carefully for a few days and finally wrote a letter to Zhang Zhixuan, saying that he would meet Zhang Sidao before he could decide whether to accept him as his apprentice.
Although Chen Hongyuan said this, Zhang Zhixuan already knew that this matter was already a certainty.
Within Qingxuan Sect, the inheritance of master-disciple is a very serious matter.
Because of the dragging down of stupid disciples, countless masters suffered bad luck, and some even lost their lives. This kind of lesson has been learned for a long time, and monks cannot be careless.
Chen Hongyuan is still very strict in recruiting disciples. He may really want to find a successor who can support each other with Chen Guangning in Qingxuan Sect.
In case he is gone, Chen Guangning will appear weak in Qingxuan Sect.
And Zhang Sidao is undoubtedly a good candidate to recruit a disciple. He has Han Yan as his backer in Qingxuan Sect.
Han Yan has a brighter future on the road than Chen Hongyuan.
Moreover, Zhang Sidao is a family monk. With the help of the Zhang family, the chance of establishing a foundation is very high. Having a disciple in the foundation-building stage is enough to help Chen Guangning.
Zhang Sidao is not stupid. Although he was a bit vain and out-of-touch when he was young, he is now twenty-three years old and has matured a lot.
According to the family's observations over the years, he is not an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
As long as you take him to Qingxuan Sect and let Chen Hongyuan take a look, you will be very sure of accepting him as a disciple.
Zhang Zhixuan received Chen Hongyuan's letter and immediately took Zhang Sidao to Qingxuan Sect. Zhang Zhixuan did not have a flying magic weapon yet, and could not fly with Zhang Sidao's sword.
With Zhang Sidao dragging them down, the two of them walked for more than three months before arriving at the Qingxuan Sect's mountain gate.
Zhang Zhixuan wrote a letter and sent it to Chen Hongyuan in Qingyangfang City. He wasted more than ten days waiting for Chen Hongyuan to come to the mountain gate to pick them up.
Along the way, Chen Hongyuan carefully observed Zhang Sidao for several days, and only after he had a general understanding of his character did he decide to accept him as his disciple.
Within the Qingxuan Sect, all casual cultivators who join from outside can only start as handyman disciples. The handyman disciples are busy with daily chores and do not have much free time to practice.
After serving as a handyman for fifteen years, the younger brother can be promoted to an outer disciple of the Qingxuan Sect. Once he becomes an outer disciple, he has a little more freedom. He can use the sect's good deeds to exchange for the classics of the Qingxuan Sect. In addition to the benefits, the benefits are less, and there is no building. Outside of the elders of the master sect in the basic period, they are almost identical to the inner sect disciples.
In the mortal towns controlled by Qingxuanzong, the treatment is much better. Once a child with three spiritual roots or above enters the mountain gate, he or she will start as an outer disciple. Only monks with false spiritual roots will become servant disciples.
Within the Qingxuan Sect, once you become a handyman disciple, your path is basically hopeless.
If someone is recommended by a foundation-building monk within the sect, he or she will automatically become an outer disciple. If another foundation-building monk accepts a disciple, the salary will be raised by another level.
Han Yan was an inner disciple when he first joined Qingxuan Sect, and the same was true for Zhang Sidao. When they first joined Qingxuan Sect, they saved more than ten years of time compared to ordinary casual cultivators.
After all, the Zhang family is a family that has descended from the ancestors of the Zifu. The relationships within the Qingxuan Sect are intricate and complicated. There are some secret relationships that even the clan leader cannot figure out.
The Zhang family is like this, and the Wu family is even worse. Not only do they have five foundation-building monks in the family, but within the Qingxuan Sect, Wu Sixeng has also supported three clan members to successfully build the foundation for more than a hundred years.
Zhang Zhixuan handed Chen Hongyuan four hundred spirit stones and retrieved the Xuanyin Talisman.
He left Zhang Sidao in Qingyangfang City to help Chen Hongyuan, and then went to the Qingxuan Sect's elixir garden to find Han Yan. Because Zhang Zhixuan was an outsider and could not enter the elixir garden at all, he could only ask someone to send a message to Han Yan.
Last time, in order to go to Montenegro to meet Zhang Zhixuan, Han Yan had to ask Li Zigong, the elder of the Zifu in the General Affairs Hall, to extend his service by five years, and then took a one-year leave. Now he still has to serve for a long time.
When Zhang Zhixuan saw Han Yan, he found that her hands had become very swollen.
"Last time, because the queen bee was laying eggs and had a violent personality, I accidentally approached the hive and was attacked by the swarm. Fortunately, I have good cultivation. If the monk who had just established the foundation encountered this scene, I am afraid he would not survive."
Zhang Zhixuan nodded silently. He knew that although the family had raised enough charity for Han Yan, it was almost a kindness to her.
But over the years, her contribution to the family has been very great.
Zhang Zhixuan brought some special products such as spiritual rice, honey, and royal jelly produced by the family to Han Yan, and then said: "This time I came to my aunt, first of all, for Sidao. The patriarch and I have decided to send Sidao to Qingxuan Sect. I hope
My aunt wrote a letter recommending Sidao to join the sect. I have already talked to Chen Hongyuan and asked Sidao to join his sect. The second is to borrow Aunt Hanyan’s sect token to go to Baoguang Pavilion to buy a three-piece
Level alchemy furnace."
The Baoguang Pavilion of the Qingxuan Sect is only open to the sect monks. Even if outsiders have spiritual stones in their hands, they cannot buy the precious magical artifacts in the Baoguang Pavilion. The last time Zhang Zhixuan purchased the Spirit Turtle Shield, he took advantage of Han Yan’s sect.
door token.
But the last time Zhang Zhixuan didn't spend the spirit stone, he sent He Changyuan's storage bag back to Qingxuan Sect, and used Han Yan's sect token to obtain half of He Changyuan's sect's good deeds. Using these two thousand good deeds, he exchanged two
There are three level three magic weapons, one of which was left to Han Yan.
There was no such good luck this time. He took out fifteen middle-grade spiritual stones and gave them to Han Yan, asking her to exchange them for the sect's good deeds and go to Baoguang Pavilion to have a look.
Soon, Han Yan spent 1,800 good deeds and exchanged it for a third-level mid-grade alchemy furnace from Baoguang Pavilion.
This alchemy furnace is made of Xuanyang copper and is called Xuanyang furnace. It is the best alchemy furnace in Baoguang Pavilion. It is also very expensive, more expensive than a normal third-level high-grade magic weapon.
The Zhang family had a fourth-level alchemy furnace back then, and the founder of their family, Zhang Tairen, was a fourth-level alchemist.
However, in order to raise the resources to open the Zifu for his precious son, Zhang Tairen had no choice but to reluctantly give up his alchemy furnace to Qingxuan Sect.
Even most of his alchemy inheritance was not left to the family, but stayed with Qingxuan Sect in exchange for a large amount of resources.
After Zhang Chuyun opened the Zifu, he hardly lasted long before he was smiling.
Since then, the family has never produced a third-level alchemist.
With the letters of recommendation from Han Yan and Chen Hongyuan, Zhang Sidao easily became a disciple of Qingxuan Sect. Soon Chen Hongyuan personally came forward to accept him as his disciple and became an inner disciple.
After Zhang Sidao was settled, and after everything settled, Zhang Zhixuan said goodbye to Han Yan, and then flew back to the mountain gate with his flying sword.
