Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#453 - Chapter 452 Disciple
Upon Elephant Heaven Peak, near the mountainside, a slope was covered in lush greenery and resplendent blossoms.
Zhang Yu giggled, "Master, guess where the entrance to my cave abode is!"
Zhang Yuanjing didn't use his divine sense. Hovering in mid-air, his gaze swept back and forth between the dense forest, the deep grasses, and the flowerbeds, finally landing on a patch of vibrant purple English flowers. He raised a hand and pointed, smiling as he said, "If Master isn't mistaken, it's there!"
"Wrong! It's Senior Brother Huo's turn. Senior Brother Huo, guess where it is!" Zhang Yu said with a sly smile, like a little fox.
Huo Zhengkai had cultivated with Zhang Yu at守拙Peak for over three years, and he was very familiar with her habits and preferences. As soon as he arrived, he could see that the entrance to the cave abode was on a giant rock, because Zhang Yu wasn't someone who liked to hide things too carefully; rather, she had a straightforward style.
However, seeing that his master hadn't guessed correctly, he didn't want to reveal the answer right away, so he chose the camellia forest next to the hillside and said, "It's there!"
Zhang Yu repeatedly stole glances at Huo Zhengkai, worried that he would discover her secret. Hearing his answer, she immediately felt relieved and said gleefully, "Nope, nope! Senior Brother Huo guessed wrong too! Senior Brother Han, you guess!"
Han Ji had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage two years ago. Before the breakthrough, his lifespan was almost exhausted. This breakthrough was no different from being reborn, and he was able to enter a famous sect like the Profound Heaven Sect. His heart was filled with gratitude towards Zhang Yuanjing. In the past two years, he had focused on cultivation, not daring to be lazy, and not wanting to let down his master's great kindness.
He was sharp-minded and had keen eyesight. He had already seen Zhang Yu's little actions, but he didn't expose them. He just smiled slightly and said, "Junior Sister is naturally unrestrained and won't deliberately hide the location of her cave abode. I see a hole in the grass, like one dug by a wild rabbit. Could that be where Junior Sister's cave abode entrance is?"
Zhang Yu playfully spat and said, "I'm not a wild rabbit. Why would I use a rabbit hole as the entrance to my cave abode? Senior Brother Han guessed wrong too. Fourth Brother, where do you say it is?"
Zhang Jun raised his hand and pointed to the giant rock above the green grass, saying casually, "It's under that giant rock!"
Zhang Yu originally thought that she had fooled her master and two clever senior brothers, and that her own brother would definitely not be able to guess it. Unexpectedly, he guessed it in one go. She immediately frowned and said, "You're usually like a blockhead, how come you're so smart today! Hmph, you guessed right!"
Zhang Yuanjing laughed loudly and said, "Yu'er, we're here to congratulate you on moving into your new home, but you're hiding the door and making us guess. Why don't you quickly open the door and welcome your guests!"
Zhang Yu took out a square spiritual talisman from her pocket and struck it against the giant rock.
The spiritual talisman emitted light and landed on the rock. Two "boom" sounds were heard, and the giant rock split in two, revealing a passage about ten feet wide.
"Master, Senior Brother Huo, Senior Brother Han, Fourth Brother, please!"
Zhang Yu landed her sword light and stood in front of the door, smiling at the four people.
Zhang Yuanjing and the other three landed in front of the giant rock. They saw that the stone walls of the passage ahead were inlaid with glowing stones of various colors, which were brilliantly lit. They all smiled and walked in together.
Zhang Yuanjing said, "Yu'er, you've been promoted to elite disciple and assigned to the best Elephant Heaven Peak. There's no need to be so restrained. How many people can there be on this peak? I think there are at most eight or nine people. The place is very large, and everyone can occupy a large hillside. Even if you want to build a palace on that green grass, you can. Later, go to the Hall of Mysterious Affairs and find a deacon disciple who manages the cave abodes, and someone will come to build it for you."
Zhang Yu was surprised and delighted: "Is that really possible? Why didn't you say so earlier, Master!"
Zhang Yuanjing glared at her: "It's not too late now!"
Zhang Yu pouted and said, "If I had known this earlier, what was the point of me painstakingly building this cave abode? It would have been better to build a palace directly. The sunshine outside is much better than in the cave abode!"
Zhang Yu's cave abode had a total of thirty-two stone rooms inside. Not only did it have what a cultivator generally needed, but it also had her own unique arrangements, which took a lot of thought.
Zhang Yuanjing and the other three toured the cave abode under Zhang Yu's guidance before sitting down in a spacious stone room specially for entertaining guests.
The four disciples had not seen Zhang Yuanjing for several years. At this time, they were together, and their hearts were filled with joy and expectation.
In the past few years, they had been cultivating in the Heaven's Vault Mountain, and they had occasionally heard some old rumors about their master. Although they didn't believe them, they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts after hearing them so many times.
Zhang Yuanjing's gaze swept over the four disciples, and he was quite satisfied with their cultivation progress.
Zhang Yu had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage nearly twenty years ago. Although she had been traveling with him all the time, her cultivation had not fallen behind. It was not far from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Huo Zhengkai had a good foundation. In the past, he had to rush around to complete sect missions, which delayed a lot of his cultivation. But in the past few years, he had been supplied with elixirs, and his cultivation had improved quickly.
Han Ji was the most stable. His aptitude was not bad, and his temperament was good. He also knew how to work hard, and his realm was very solid after entering the Foundation Establishment stage.
Zhang Jun's cultivation progress was as before. He was already at the tenth level of Qi Refining, and he would definitely be able to enter the Foundation Establishment stage before his lifespan ran out.
He nodded and said with a smile, "In the past few years, I have been fighting against the cultivators of the Abyss of Heavenly Demons in the west, and I have made some military achievements. A few days ago, I was promoted to Elder with a ceremony presided over by a True Person. In the future, you will be direct disciples of the Profound Heaven Elder. You will be given all the treatment you deserve. If there are any arrears, go to the Hall of Mysterious Affairs, and the Sect Leader will definitely stand up for you!"
Hearing this, Huo Zhengkai was overjoyed and quickly stood up to congratulate his master: "Congratulations to Master on being promoted to Elder!"
The other three also hurriedly stood up and bowed to congratulate him.
Zhang Yuanjing motioned for the four to sit down, and then said, "The war in the west is slowing down, but it is not over yet. I still need to be stationed in the Profound Origin Hall, and future matters need to be determined according to the situation. Therefore, I have an arrangement for you."
He first looked at Huo Zhengkai and said solemnly, "Zhengkai, you are my eldest disciple, and you represent my face outside. Therefore, the requirements for you must be the strictest! From today onwards, you will follow me to the Profound Origin Hall and enter the Profound Origin Realm to train."
Huo Zhengkai suppressed the excitement in his heart, stood up and saluted: "Yes, disciple will obey Master's orders!"
Zhang Yu's beautiful eyes were full of expectation: "Is the Profound Origin Realm a secret realm? I want to go too!"
Zhang Yuanjing looked at this delicate and lovely female disciple, but sighed in his heart. Sometimes, receiving a disciple with too good aptitude is also a kind of trouble.
That day, in the Profound Heaven Palace, True Person Tong suddenly gave a speech, asking the Core Formation Elders to pay attention to the cultivation of their disciples, which was very meaningful. After the meeting, he was specially left alone. In addition to asking about the innate spiritual treasure and the tomb of Xue Wangshen, he also discussed with him how to teach Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yuanjing said that he wanted to take her to the Profound Origin Hall and keep her by his side to cultivate, but True Person Tong clearly opposed it, saying that the Profound Origin Hall was still not a safe place, and that he needed to go out frequently to spy on the traces of the True Persons in the Abyss of Heavenly Demons and take action to deter them, so he was afraid that he would not have time to take care of Zhang Yu.
True Person Tong suggested that Zhang Yu stay in the mountain gate and he would personally take care of her. Usually, Su Yuanxiao would lead her in cultivation, and if she went out to train, Liu Yuanqing would be responsible.
This arrangement far exceeded the treatment of an elite disciple, and Zhang Yuanjing could not refuse. He also understood that this included the consideration of him going to the Hengduan Mountains in the future.
He was not repulsed by Su Yuanxiao. However, he was a little disgusted with Su Yuanxiao's master, Shu Tianqi. However, he could not say this to True Person Tong.
"Yu'er, your cultivation will be personally arranged by True Person Tong. Later, I will take you to meet True Person."
Hearing this, Zhang Yu was surprised, but not happy. She lowered her head and said softly, "I want to cultivate with Master."
Zhang Yuanjing said sternly, "Since True Person has made arrangements, you cannot disobey them. In the future, you will cultivate in the mountain gate, and there will naturally be teachers to teach you. You must remember not to be willful and listen to the arrangements of the teachers in everything."
After saying that, he did not look at Zhang Yu, who had tears in her eyes, and said to Han Ji, "Han Ji, I have recommended you to the Sect Leader. In the future, you will work in the Hall of Mysterious Affairs. I will prepare the elixirs you need for cultivation, so you don't have to worry about affecting your cultivation."
Han Ji stood up and agreed: "Yes! Disciple will definitely work hard and cultivate diligently, and will not fail Master's expectations!"
Zhang Yuanjing was very pleased and praised, "Good!"
He said to Zhang Jun again, "Zhang Jun, you are still cultivating in Jade Capital Peak. Don't worry and don't let the other disciples around you affect your state of mind. Remember, cultivation is your own, not for others to see. Whether it's fast or slow, being able to reach the end is success!"
Zhang Jun stood up and saluted, replying calmly: "Yes! Disciple will obey Master's teachings!"
