Shared talent: traveling through the heavens and worlds at the same time

Chapter 230: Become a disciple of Daoxuan
Although Daoxuan was pleasantly surprised, he did not directly agree to let Lin Bei and the others join Qingyun Sect. Instead, he asked Lin Bei and Lin Jingyu in a friendly manner:

"Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu, right? Are you willing to join our Qingyun Sect?"

In fact, it’s no wonder that Daoxuan is so cautious. If someone else sent him a child with such extraordinary talent, Daoxuan would definitely accept him without saying a word.

The problem is that this was sent by Puzhi, one of the four great monks of Tianyin Temple. He is really a troublesome existence.

Over the past few decades, while this monk's knowledge of Buddhism has become increasingly profound, he has also become increasingly devoted to the dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism.

Not only Daoxuan, but also the abbot of Tianyin Temple, Master Puhong, was quite helpless about Puzhi's idea.

Therefore, the better the qualifications of the children sent by Puzhi, the more cautious Daoxuan will be. Later, he will send people to Cao Miao Village mentioned by Puzhi to verify the identities of the two children.

As for now, Daoxuan didn't think that the two children could lie to him without him noticing, so he asked directly.

Facing Daoxuan's question, Lin Bei had a confused look on his face, but he still nodded calmly:
"Yes, that's right. The old monk said he wanted to take me to practice at Tianyin Temple. It was too far and I didn't want to go. Then he said he wanted to take me to Qingyun Sect, and I agreed."

Lin Jingyu was not as calm as Lin Bei and seemed a little nervous, but he was clear and logical when facing Daoxuan:
"Like Xiaofan, I don't want to be too far away from home, and I want to be in the same place as Xiaofan."

After hearing Lin Bei and Lin Jingyu's answers, Daoxuan nodded with satisfaction. He did not see any signs of lying from the two children, and he also admired the character they showed towards him as the head of the sect.

After getting the answer he wanted, Daoxuan finally smiled warmly at Puzhi, bowed and thanked him:

"In that case, I would like to thank the Divine Monk Puzhi for sending such a talented person and beautiful jade to my Qingyun Sect. Daoxuan would like to thank you here."

Pu Zhi, who had been silent the whole time, watching Dao Xuan asking the two people, did not seem to feel anything about Dao Xuan's thanks. He just returned the greeting and said:

“I don’t deserve Daoxuan’s gratitude. This is also a fate between the two young donors.

Now that the person has been brought here, I will not stay any longer and will take my leave now."

Daoxuan wanted to keep Puzhi after hearing what he said, asking him to stay and have a vegetarian meal before leaving. However, Puzhi seemed to have made up his mind to leave and soon left on his own.

After Puzhi left, Daoxuan quickly sent a letter to notify the other six leaders of the Seven Clans of Qingyun to come to Yuqing Palace to discuss matters.

The cultivation base of several leaders of Qingyun Sect was not low. After a while, they all rushed to Yuqing Palace and saw Lin Bei and the other two standing in the hall at a glance.

When the last head monk of Xiaozhu Peak, Master Shuiyue, arrived, Daoxuan told all the other heads about how Puzhi had just sent someone here, and finally said:
".That's roughly what happened. I called you here mainly to discuss the whereabouts of these two children.

Both of them have rare talents and personalities, especially Zhang Xiaofan, who is the only one I have ever seen in my life. He will surely achieve extraordinary things in the future.

Therefore, I intend to accept him into my Tongtian Peak as my last disciple. What do you think, my fellow disciples?"

When Daoxuan was explaining what had happened to several chief monks, the chief monks were already observing Lin Bei and Lin Jingyu.

As the top figures in Qingyun Sect, the several chiefs have unique visions. They can naturally see the qualifications of Lin Bei and Lin Jingyu at a glance.

Coupled with the calmness and composure shown by the two when facing this group of top figures who have achieved great success in cultivation, several people couldn't help but secretly say "good" in their hearts.

However, when several leaders heard Daoxuan wanted to accept Lin Bei as his disciple, they were all shocked.

You know, Daoxuan, as the head of Qingyun Sect, has not accepted any disciples for many years. It was thought that he would never accept any disciples in the future. Unexpectedly, he would accept Lin Bei as his last disciple today.

However, after seeing Lin Bei's qualifications, the several leaders could understand. After all, Lin Bei's qualifications were really incredible.

The leaders naturally did not dare to compete with Daoxuan for disciples, and they would not be able to win even if they really tried. Therefore, when Daoxuan wanted to accept Lin Bei as his disciple, they all answered with one sentence:

"It's up to the head brother to arrange."

Afterwards, these leaders turned their attention to the remaining Lin Jingyu.

Although it was a pity that they were unable to accept Lin Bei as their disciple, Lin Jingyu's qualifications were not bad either, and were even much better than those of their disciples.

Except for Xiaozhufeng who only accepted female disciples, the other abbots naturally had ideas.

Among them, a short, fat, and amiable-looking Taoist priest coughed twice and spoke first:

"Ahem, Master Brother, it would be most appropriate for a talented person like Zhang Xiaofan to be taught by you, as for Lin Jingyu, how about we accept him as a disciple at Dazhu Peak?
"Master Brother also knows that my Dazhu Peak lineage has always been small in number, and now there are only seven disciples. It is most appropriate for me to accept him."

This short and fat Taoist priest is none other than Zhang Xiaofan’s master in the original plot, the head of Dazhu Peak, Tian Buyi.

But just as Tian Buyi finished speaking, Shang Zhengliang, the chief of Chaoyang Peak, stood up and said righteously:

"Brother Tian, ​​you are wrong. When I saw this kid today, I felt that I had a great affinity with him. I think we have a predestined relationship. I'd better let him become my disciple."

Tian Buyi's face flushed with anger when he heard this, but before he could speak, Taoist Tianyun, the head of Luoxia Peak, retorted:

"Brother Shang, you already have 400 disciples. If each of them has a predestined relationship with you, then you have too many predestined relationships."

Shang Zhengliang blushed at what Taoist Tianyun said, but it was impossible for him to give up, so he wanted to argue.

But before Shang Zhengliang could speak again, the head of Longshou Peak, Cangsong, had already said:
"Master, this child is indeed a good material. Why don't you let me take him in as my disciple? I will teach him carefully and make him a good person."

As Cangsong spoke, Tian Buyi, Shang Zhengliang, and Taoist Tianyun all secretly thought that it was not good. Sure enough, Taoist Master Daoxuan said after hesitating for a moment:
"Well, with Junior Brother Cangsong's ability in teaching his disciples, I'm sure he won't waste his talent. Then let him become your disciple."

Lin Bei turned a blind eye to the competition among these leaders. When he heard that Daoxuan was going to accept him as his disciple, he knew it was a sure thing.

After all, whether in terms of cultivation or status, there is no one higher than Daoxuan in the entire Qingyun Sect. It is impossible for him to refuse when such a master personally accepts him as a disciple.

As for Cangsong's desire to take Lin Jingyu as his apprentice, Lin Bei did not interfere. Although Cangsong was not a good person, in the original plot, after he took Lin Jingyu in, he not only taught him all his skills, but also gave him a magical sword, the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

In terms of resource allocation and teaching, Cangsong did not treat Lin Jingyu unfairly, so there is really nothing wrong in letting Lin Jingyu worship Cangsong as his teacher.

Lin Bei really wanted to complain that Daoxuan was really partial to Cangsong now. He didn't know how Daoxuan would feel if he knew Cangsong's true face in advance.
Lin Bei was daydreaming by himself. Seeing that he was being fought over by these senior masters, Lin Jingyu couldn't help but feel excited. At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Lin Bei to see his reaction.

Unfortunately, what Lin Jingyu saw was Lin Bei who was in a daze, which made him quite annoyed and a little disappointed.

Lin Jingyu is a very strong-willed person. Although he is still young, he always wants to do his best in everything he does.

But there happened to be a man named Lin Bei in Cao Miao Village who traveled through time and space to replace Zhang Xiaofan, which caused Lin Jingyu to suffer repeated setbacks.

Whether in terms of intelligence or other aspects, Lin Bei always has an advantage over Lin Jingyu.

Even though Lin Jingyu has become the de facto king of the children in Cao Miao Village, as long as Lin Bei appears, those children will always subconsciously listen to Lin Bei.

But Lin Bei always looked like he didn't want to play with them and isolated them all by himself, which made Lin Jingyu even more difficult to accept and vaguely jealous.

Originally, when Lin Jingyu saw those immortal-looking masters vying for him, he felt secretly proud in his heart, thinking that he had finally defeated Lin Bei once.

But after seeing Lin Bei's reaction, Lin Jingyu felt as if he had punched cotton.

Later, when Lin Jingyu found out that the reason why Lin Bei was not sought after was because he was directly reserved by the master, he felt even more uncomfortable.

But that's all in the past. It's naturally impossible for Daoxuan and the others to notice Lin Jingyu's little thoughts now.

After it was decided that Cangsong would accept Lin Jingyu, the faces of several chief monks all looked unhappy, but they did not dare to show their displeasure to Daoxuan, so they said goodbye and left Yuqing Palace one after another.

Cangsong also took Lin Jingyu back to his Longshou Peak and prepared to formally become his disciple.

Only Lin Bei and Daoxuan were left in the Yuqing Palace.

Daoxuan looked at Lin Bei, was silent for a moment, and then said:

"Xiao Fan, you just came to my Qingyun Mountain. Although I want to take you as my disciple, I am not in a hurry. I will let your senior brother take you to see the mountain first and arrange accommodation for you. After you are ready, you can formally take me as your master."

Lin Bei had nothing to say about this, so he replied respectfully, and then Daoxuan called out to the outside:
"Chang Jian."

Following Daoxuan's call, the young Taoist priest who had led Lin Bei and the others to Yuqing Palace from the square came in and bowed respectfully to Daoxuan, saying:
"Master."

Lin Bei then realized that this young Taoist priest was also one of Daoxuan's disciples, Chang Jian.

Daoxuan nodded towards Chang Jian and said:
"Well, you can show Xiaofan around the mountain first, arrange a place for him to stay, take him to get some suitable clothes, and then take him to my place in the afternoon to formally become my disciple."

Chang Jian bowed again and replied respectfully:
"Yes, Master."

Daoxuan nodded to the two of them, then his figure flashed and disappeared into the Yuqing Palace.

Chang Jian waited until Daoxuan left before he stood up and said to Lin Bei with a smile:
"Xiao Fan, right? I will be your senior brother from now on. My name is Chang Jian, and I am considered your second senior brother. Your eldest senior brother is still away and doesn't come back often. I am afraid that the task of teaching you in the future will fall on me."

Hearing Chang Jian's words, Lin Bei also politely bowed to him:
"Second Brother, please take care of me in the future."

Chang Jian smiled and nodded at Lin Bei, very satisfied with Lin Bei's politeness.

He knew that this junior brother in front of him was extraordinary, and that his master could make an exception and accept him as the last disciple. In the future, this junior brother might be the most promising one.

But despite his outstanding talent, there was no trace of pride on this junior brother's face. He was very respectful to his senior brother, so Chang Jian was naturally satisfied.

Chang Jian patted Lin Bei's shoulder affectionately and said:
"Haha, okay, you are my junior brother, of course I will take care of you.

Come on, I'll show you where you live first, then take you to get some disciple clothes, and by the way, take you to have a nice meal!

You will formally become my disciple in the afternoon, and then you will be a formal disciple of my Qingyun Sect, but I will be the one who teaches you the initial training.

After all, Master is very busy and doesn't have time to watch over us all the time."

Lin Bei naturally nodded in agreement, then followed Chang Jian out of the Yuqing Palace and prepared to go to the disciples' residence on Tongtian Peak.

However, just after coming out of Yuqing Palace and passing by the pond outside the palace gate, suddenly, a roar as loud as thunder came from the depths of the pond.

Suddenly, a huge whirlpool appeared in the center of the pool, followed by huge waves. A huge figure jumped out of the pool, and splashes of water covered the sky.

Chang Jian, who was standing next to Lin Bei, jumped to the side reflexively after hearing the huge roar. His body flew into the air. After seeing the splash, he reacted and wanted to turn back to pull Lin Bei.

But it was too late. The water was about to soak Lin Bei to the bone, but Lin Bei reacted very quickly and lightly tapped his toes, narrowly avoiding the water.

When the water splashed, a huge monster had already blocked Lin Bei's way.

It is over five meters tall, with a dragon head and a lion body, covered with scales, huge eyes and a big mouth. Two sharp fangs sparkle in the sun, making it intimidating.

It is the Qilin that only appears in myths and legends!
The Qilin that jumped out of the water shook its body slightly, and there was another splash of water. Fortunately, Chang Jian finally reacted this time and pulled Lin Bei away in advance, and asked with concern:

"Xiaofan, are you okay?"

Lin Bei reacted quickly just now and not a drop of water got on his body. He shook his head at this moment, but his eyes were still looking at the Qilin in front of him.

Chang Jianyan saw Lin Bei staring at Qilin and thought that Lin Bei was curious, so he started to introduce him:

“This is Ling Zun, an ancient beast that my sect’s Qingye Patriarch subdued five hundred years ago, named Water Qilin.

When the Qingye Patriarch made Qingyun flourish, it played a great role. Now it is the guardian beast of Qingyun. We respectfully call it "Spiritual Lord."
