Zhang Yan sat in Jingluo Yard for less than half a day, but he had already read through the five techniques and three scriptures and memorized them in his heart.
As for the twelve divine arts, he was not in a hurry to look at them.
Divine arts were indeed attractive, but he had not broken through his shell and had no time to study them. He also did not know which divine art was suitable for him. If he looked at it now, it would only mess up his state of mind, and there was no benefit to it. Thus, he decisively left it behind.
The cultivation methods in the pagoda cave were not only limited to Daoism Xuan techniques, there were also many secret manuals of cultivation methods, and even rare cultivation methods. However, when he took a look, he found that they were incomplete and not much better than the records of travel notes and legends, so he could only shake his head and pass.
The Daoist was quite attentive after receiving his benefits. Whenever there was anything that needed to be looked at, he would open the door wide and busy himself.
When it was midday, Zhang Yan wanted to leave. Seeing that the Daoist had worked hard, he gave the Daoist a basket of jade beads. The Daoist was overjoyed and personally sent him out.
After leaving Jingluo Yard, Zhang Yan rode the wind and broke through the clouds, returning to Zhao You Heavenly Lake.
Not long after, he returned to the cave dwelling. After a ray of light entered the hall, he looked up and saw a lantern hanging high in front of the hall, and a pearl hanging in the air. He knew that there was a guest. After thinking for a while, he cast a spell to activate the formation and called Shang Shang over. He asked, "Who is it that has come to visit?"
Shang Shang bowed and reported, "Master, I heard that Master has obtained the position of the top ten disciple in the sect. Northstar Sect's Elder Yan brought his Daoist companion here to congratulate you. Sister Luo Xiao is now in the hall greeting them."
Zhang Yan's expression changed slightly. So Elder Yan had arrived. He waved his sleeve and dismissed Shang Shang, then opened the formation door and stepped in.
Just now, when he stood still in the main hall, he saw Elder Yan sitting on the banquet table. Beside him were White Sky Demon King Lu Meiniang and her brother Lu Junbai. Not far away from them was Demon King Jun Yue, Jing Miaojun.
When Elder Yan saw Zhang Yan, he hurriedly stood up to welcome him. He laughed loudly and cupped his fists, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhang. I haven't seen you in three years, and you're even more elegant than before. "
Zhang Yan walked forward and returned the greeting with a smile, saying, "Elder Yan's cultivation is becoming more and more solid."
Seeing Zhang Yan appear, the Lu siblings and Monster King Junyue also came out of their seats and greeted him respectfully.
Zhang Yan saw that the three of them seemed to be restraining themselves. He thought for a while and understood the reason, so he smiled and extended his hand. He said in a clear voice, "According to our agreement, the three of you have come here. You can cultivate in my Clear Serenity Cave Abode, no restrictions on staying or leaving. "
When the three heard this, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Elder Yan also smiled.
This was especially so for Lu Meiniang. When Zhang Yan left the outer seas, she was still at the Mystic Light Realm and was only a core disciple of Qincang School. She could still treat him as an equal, but now, Zhang Yan was one of the top ten disciples of Qincang School. He was also at the Transformation Core Realm like her, and his status was completely different from before. She was nervous and didn't know if the previous agreement would still be the same.
However, Elder Yan was certain. He had sent his grandson to visit Zhang Yan a long time ago. Seeing that there were many beauties in the abode, he knew that Zhang Yan didn't reject yao cultivators. Although he was one of the top ten disciples of Qincang School, he didn't have many disciples. He would need to find help from the outside and take in disciples to strengthen his wings. He wouldn't reject a few Transformation Core yao cultivators that came to join him.
Monster Monarch Jun Yue stood behind Lu Meiniang and secretly looked at Zhang Yan.
After entering this place, her heart wasn't as calm as it looked. Just Now, she knew what a Profound Sect was.
This Clear Serenity Heavenly Lake was indeed a cave abode. The Spirit Qi here was many times more abundant than their previous abodes. If they could cultivate here, they would have a high chance of breaking through to the Yuanying realm. Thinking about this, they couldn't help but feel worried.
However, Zhang Yan's words calmed them down. Lu Meiniang's face was filled with joy and she said, "Thank you, Estate Lord Zhang."
Zhang Yan didn't purposely correct her when she changed the way she addressed him. Before entering the abode, they obviously called each other Daoist. Now that they were in the abode, these three were his guests. Of course, he couldn't be as casual as before.
After chatting with them for a while, they sat down and drank a few cups. When the banquet was full, Elder Yan smiled and said, "Today, I have something to give to Daoist. I'm sure you will like it."
Zhang Yan put down his cup and smiled, "What is it?"
Elder Yan waved his hand and a disciple standing behind him came forward and presented the gift list in his hand.
Zhang Yan saw that Elder Yan didn't say it clearly and still wanted to give him the gift list, so he guessed that it must be something valuable.
When he took a look, the three words "Penglai Qi" came into view. He thought for a while. Although he hadn't heard of this item, it must be extraordinary. That was why he was so serious.
Elder Yan's expression became serious. His lips moved and he used a secret voice to explain the function of this treasure. Then, his expression became serious and he cupped his hands together, "This is our sect's secret. I hope Daoist will not tell others."
Zhang Yan also stopped smiling and raised his hand to return the greeting. He said seriously, "Rest assured, Elder. Your sect has given such a valuable gift. How can I not know what's good for me? I am ashamed to accept your kindness."
Elder Yan nodded and raised his cup, "Come, let me drink to you!"
He believed that Zhang Yan knew what he was doing. However, this item was too rare. Out of caution, he had to mention it. If it were to circulate in the outside world, Beichen Sect would immediately attract the covetous eyes of the disciples of the big sects. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the sect would be destroyed.
After the banquet, Elder Yan said that he had some matters to attend to in the sect and had to return early. He then bid farewell and left.
Zhang Yan didn't ask him to stay. He personally saw the elder out of the cave and then returned to settle down the Lu siblings and Monster King Junyue.
When the matter was over, he returned to the main residence and ordered the servants to summon Luo Xiao. He handed her the jade scroll from Jingluo Yard. He smiled, "Daoist Luo, in this scroll, there are three hundred books of mysterious techniques. Daoist Luo can choose one to practice. I will leave this with you. If Daoist Luo wants to take in a disciple, you can also pass on the techniques. Don't worry about anything."
Many of these techniques were written by the elders of the Qincang School, but some were obtained from outside the sect. Among them, there were many techniques that could be practiced to the Yuanying realm.
However, the path of cultivation could not be achieved by just relying on techniques. Spiritual houses, magical items, elixirs, and techniques were all indispensable. If one was a rogue cultivator, he would only have one Daoist technique. Without the secret inheritance, it would be impossible to practice to a higher realm.
Just like Huang Fuzhou, he obtained an Immortal Residence. Just Now, he had his current cultivation. If he only had techniques, he might not be much better than ordinary disciples.
When Zhang Yan mentioned it that day, even though Luo Xiao didn't say it out loud, she remembered it in her heart. Now that she saw that he really found a Daoist technique for her, she was overjoyed. Her beautiful eyes turned and she said, "I thank you, Master. Since you already have four disciples, I have to take in a few good ones no matter what. I won't let Master monopolize."
Zhang Yan nodded and smiled, "If Daoist Luo has this intention, it is a good thing. Although I am one of the top ten disciples, there are still very few disciples under Zhao You. I can't compare to other disciples. If Daoist Luo wants to take in disciples, just tell me what you lack. I will not be stingy. "
When Luo Xiao heard this, she was even more surprised. She thanked him repeatedly. She chatted with Zhang Yan for a while. After that, she lifted the hem of her dress and left happily.
After Luo Xiao left, Zhang Yan was about to sit down and meditate. However, he suddenly felt something and said, "Is Yanyi here? Why are you wandering outside? Come in and talk. "
A shadow flashed in front of the cave. Liu Yanyi walked in. She took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground, kowtowing heavily.
Zhang Yan asked curiously, "Disciple, why are you doing this?"
Liu Yanyi raised her head and said seriously, "Master, disciple has thought about it for a long time. I want to go out and travel in search of the medicine to transform the pill. I hope master will allow it."
Zhang Yan was slightly stunned and started to ponder.
Actually, not to mention that he still had a lot of pills that he had not used, with his current identity, he only needed to say the word and he would be able to find all three pills.
However, he also knew that disciples of master and disciple went out to search for medicine not only for the pill itself, but also to train their temperament and look for opportunities. Her disciple was not afraid of danger and was not willing to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. It was very rare for her to have such thoughts.
After some thought, Zhang Yan felt that now that the competition in the sect was over and there was nothing to do in the house, it should be a period of peace. He also had to cultivate in seclusion, so it was a good time for Liu Yanyi to go out and travel. He nodded and said, "I am very pleased that you have such thoughts."
Liu Yanyi's beautiful eyes were filled with joy and she bowed. "Thank you, Master, for granting my wish."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "Since you have left the mountain, if you see the Qi of the fire essence and the Qi of the metal essence, take some back. However, remember, there is no need to deliberately search for them."
Liu Yanyi nodded and said, "Disciple will remember."
Zhang Yan said again, "The land of Donghua Continent is still considered stable, but the demonic calamity is about to happen. It is inevitable that there will be evil spirits stirring up trouble. I will give you a few more treasures to help you defend yourself. “
He stretched out a finger, and a nimble and fleeting light ray flew out. It spun in mid-air and disappeared into Liu Yanyi's sachet. But a moment later, another array flag followed and disappeared into the sachet.
That spiritual light was called the "Boating Boat Pouch". It was one of the two profound level weapons passed down by Gui Congyao. When fighting with the enemy, it could turn into a bright crystal sand to protect the user. At the crucial moment, it could also hide the body, making it impossible for others to find it.
The most amazing thing was that this item could turn into a tent and gather spiritual qi on its own, so it did not hinder cultivation.
And that formation flag was the "Zhu Yuan Ying Xing Three Qi Palace Guard Flag" that protected Tian Kun and his mother. Once this formation flag was set up, even the Yuanying cultivators could not do anything to it.
Then, Zhang Yan shouted again, "Where is Mountain River Boy?"
Following his shout, a child came out and respectfully said, "Master, this lowly one is here."
Zhang Yan pointed at Liu Yanyi and said, "My disciple wants to go out to look for medicine. You can go with her."
Mountain River Boy immediately said in a clear voice, "Yes, I will obey Master's order."
Only a true weapon like him did not have a way to injure the enemy or protect it, so it had a good temper. It would do whatever it was told to do, diligently and without any complaints. For a true weapon like that, even if it was to its owner, it would sometimes be cold and indifferent, so why would it take care of a junior?
Zhang Yan said gently to Liu Yanyi, "Mountain River Boy is very knowledgeable. It will be convenient for you to travel the world with this map."
Liu Yanyi hurriedly bowed again and said, "Thank you for your gift, Master."
Zhang Yan asked gently, "Yanyi, when are you leaving?"
Liu Yanyi answered, "Disciple's medicine and instruments are all prepared. I wanted to leave after bidding farewell to Master."
Zhang Yan smiled and nodded, "Since that is the case, Master will send you off."
Then, he rolled up his sleeves and a mist appeared, wrapping Liu Yanyi out of the cave. In an instant, they arrived at the peak of Zhao You Mountain. There were white clouds, the sky was blue like a mirror, birds flew across the sky, the pond water was rippling, and fish were jumping on the waves. It was a beautiful scenery.
"Master, please stay. I will go now."
Liu Yanyi's face was determined. She knelt down and kowtowed three times to Zhang Yan respectfully. Then, she stood up and took out a spell. She turned into a clear rainbow, pierced through the clouds and flew into the sky. She embarked on the road to look for medicine alone. Once she left, she probably wouldn't be able to return within twenty to thirty years.
Zhang Yan gazed silently at the streak of light that flew into the distance, and he smiled lightly after it vanished before he turned around and returned to the small pot mirror to enter into closed door cultivation.
