Immortal Path Evergreen

Chapter 797: Recruiting more disciples

After signing the contract with Mingxin Sect, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife waited for ten years and returned to Ziyang Sect with four Five Elements Spiritual Fruits and six Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma.

In the past ten years, the sect used the six treasured spiritual objects to assist in the development of the Purple Palace, and finally cultivated five Purple Palaces. Among them was Liu Guyan's last disciple Li Yunxiu, who was a cultivator with a natural spiritual root and successfully developed the Purple Palace without using any spiritual objects.

Li Yunxiu was only eighty-three years old, but he had successfully developed the Purple Palace. His progress in cultivation was comparable to Qingchan and even faster than Zhang Zhixuan. However, it would probably take several hundred years for this child to really help.

With the current scale of Ziyang Sect, what really needs to change the situation of the sect is a large number of golden elixirs or Yuanying masters.

In the past ten years, Ziyang Sect issued a large number of foundation-building pills and Ziyang pills, and the number of foundation-building cultivators also increased by fifty or sixty people. The gap was filled by about one-tenth.

After ten years of recuperation, Zhang Sihong, whose arm was broken, has recovered. Tang Fenglan and Lu Hongniang, whose qi sea was broken, will have to wait for another fifty years.

Zhou Huayang was the most seriously injured. Half of his body was cut off. Now he is completely dependent on spiritual objects to survive. He may become a complete invalid and will never be able to fight with others in his life.

Wang Chengcheng and You Nianwei's dantian were injured, and they also need a long time to recuperate. It is difficult for them to participate in sect battles in the past few hundred years.

Ziyang Sect originally had 19 Jindan cultivators. Four of them died in a battle and six were seriously injured, resulting in a shortage of Jindan cultivators now.

Even the other end of the Dafang Island teleportation array cannot be staffed.

Those who signed contracts with Shenshui Palace, Xuanyang Sect, and Chiyan Sect are all Yuanying cultivators. Once the Jindan guarding the teleportation array unite to make trouble, this teleportation array will not have any income.

In just ten years, the income from the teleportation array to Ziyang Sect has begun to plummet, which makes Zhang Zhixuan a little worried.

Fortunately, the Wuwei Sect's five-element fruit trees are mature. With four five-element spiritual fruits, the Ziyang Sect can also train some useful personnel.

There are four purple palace ninth-level cultivators in the Ziyang Sect. Zhang Yunlan and Wang Jingcheng failed to break through the bottleneck of Dan for the first time, but Gu Yunpeng and Xiao Louting took the five-element spiritual fruit for the second time, and their accumulation is already quite solid.

These two people did not have enough good deeds. Now, in order to support them, the sect's Yuanying generously donated money and borrowed good deeds to save them a lot of effort.

Gu Yunpeng and Xiao Louting really lived up to expectations and succeeded in Dan after two years of retreat.

These two people did not have time to consolidate their cultivation. Gu Yunpeng was sent by Zhang Zhixuan to the Dafang Island teleportation array to guard and monitor the accounts. Xiao Louting went to the Netherworld Earth Eye to cooperate with Nie Xingyuan and Li Lingxiu to guard the Netherworld Cave.

These two people formed Dan, and Zhang Sihong also recovered from his injuries, which finally relieved some of the pressure.

However, there was still no one in the Danxia Mountain Market and Jiangyang City Market. In addition to the three southern wilderness sacred mountains of Tianchan Cave, Guiyuan Temple, and Qingyang Mountain, the sect also controls more than ten fifth-level spiritual veins that are also not guarded by golden elixirs. It will probably take at least a few hundred years to fill this gap.

In a war ten years ago, the Ziyang Sect suffered heavy losses, and almost every family of the monks in the mountain gate wore mourning.

There were white banners everywhere on the mountain gate, and countless people couldn't help crying at night.

Three of Zhang Zhixuan's remaining five disciples were also killed, Wu Ruibao's path was ruined, and the only intact disciple was Tang Yisheng.

Of the five Yuanyings in the sect, Qingchan and Lingjun have decided not to accept disciples.

Of the remaining three Yuanyings, only two of Zhang Zhixuan's disciples are left. Chen Yunfeng's luck is even worse. Two of the three remaining disciples also died, leaving only one person. Although Liu Guyan's three disciples are intact, Tang Fenglan and You Nianwei have lost hope of becoming a Taoist, and the only one who can inherit the mantle of Ziyang Tianhuo Jue is Li Yunxiu.

These three Yuanying ancestors may have broken their inheritance.

After Zhang Zhixuan and his wife returned, someone soon proposed to hold a ceremony to recruit disciples, and select some disciples from the sect's foundation-building disciples for high-level cultivators to accept as disciples.

Except for Qingchan and Lingjun, the remaining Yuanyings in Ziyang Sect are still relatively young, and are barely of the same generation as the sect's Jindan cultivators. They accept disciples mainly to pass on the tradition.

Jindan and Zifu have already had a foundation in cultivation, so the disciples recruited by the three Yuanyings are all required to be in the foundation-building stage, so that they can inherit the mantle and practice their most core magic.

Yuanying cultivators often retreat for more than ten or twenty years, and have no time to guide their disciples in every detail. A single negligence may lead the disciples astray, which is really not suitable for teaching cultivators without a foundation.

Foundation-building cultivators already have a foundation and are very familiar with the common sense and taboos of the cultivation world. They do not need to be instructed from the beginning, and are most suitable for Yuanying cultivators to accept disciples.

The sect selected disciples this time not only to pass on the tradition, but also to reward merits, to include some of the most promising cultivators into the core layer of the sect, and to use the master-disciple relationship to tie them down firmly.

Although most of the war compensation has been issued, the sect only issued merits for good deeds.

This war has emptied the sect's treasury. Except for the unrestricted cultivation manuals, there are not many precious spiritual objects in the treasury. Even if there are enough good deeds, they are useless if they cannot be exchanged for spiritual objects.

It will take at least several decades to alleviate this situation.

Becoming a disciple of a high-level cultivator undoubtedly has a good background. At least at the moment of breaking through the realm, there will be people in the upper echelons of the sect who will speak for you, and you will not be bullied.

Moreover, with a high-level cultivator as a master, there will be people to support and help you on the road.

High-level monks can calm people's hearts and stabilize the sect if they accept more disciples.

The matter of accepting disciples was completely handed over to the Transmission Hall. They selected 160 people from the sect's more than 2,000 foundation-building monks.

These 160 people are all of good origin, and their ancestors for three generations are from the native place. They are all less than 100 years old, and the lowest spiritual root is three spiritual roots, so they have some prospects in cultivation. In the war ten years ago, these people have been tested and have made some military exploits.

They can survive the cruel war, and their luck is also quite good.

These 160 foundation-building monks are actually the core of Ziyang Sect in the future.

From these 160 disciples, Zhang Zhixuan selected two people to be his disciples.

The older one has a dignified appearance and his name is Xu Ziyun. This person does not look young. He is already 98 years old and has just reached the sixth level of foundation-building. This kind of disciple with a steady personality often does not need the master to worry about him.

The young one was sixty-seven years old, named Liu Zhonghong. He also had the spiritual roots of gold, fire and wood. He took Ziyang Pills and successfully established his foundation before he was forty. His cultivation reached the fifth level of foundation building, and he was about to catch up with his senior brother. It seemed that his future was brighter.

Xu Ziyun and Zhang Zhixuan were both planning to let these two disciples practice the Pure Yang Treasure Book to see if they could inherit the Taoist tradition.

After accepting these two disciples, while there was still some time, Zhang Zhixuan immediately began to explain the Pure Yang Treasure Book to them and let them familiarize themselves with this practice.

It was very difficult for a cultivator to seek the Tao. Even with the support of a teacher in the Nascent Soul stage, not everyone had a future.

Zhang Zhixuan accepted ten disciples in his early years, and only Tang Yisheng had the opportunity to achieve Taoism. Only Jia Mengzhen died of old age on the bed, and seven of the remaining eight disciples died. Although Wu Ruizhen saved his life, he broke his path to Taoism.

Zhang Zhixuan was blessed by heaven, and he never spared any effort in supporting his disciples.

Of his ten disciples, except for Feng Jizong, Lu Linghao, He Zhongxing, and Jia Mengzhen in the early years, the remaining six successfully opened up the Purple Palace with his support.

Unfortunately, even if the Purple Palace was opened up, the road to cultivation was still full of thorns. Four of the six disciples still passed away in meditation. The core reason why they came to this point was that they did not have enough opportunities.
