After Zhang Yan left the Little Pot Mirror, because of the boundless Core Fiendish Pill, he flew with the wind and clouds. He sat down in the Master Manor and retracted his aura. Instantly, there was a loud sound. This sound rumbled out, and everyone in the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake felt their feet tremble. The walls around them echoed, and only then did they realize that the Manor Master had come out of his meditation.
Zhang Yan summoned the mirror spirit and asked, "When I was in seclusion, was there anything important?"
The mirror spirit bowed and said, "Master, there was nothing important. It's just that three years ago, Luo Niangzi left the residence and asked me to tell you that she was looking for a suitable disciple and that you don't have to worry about her."
Seeing that Zhang Yan nodded slightly, the mirror spirit said carefully, "In addition, there is a small matter. The disciples of Elder Zhu, Yuan Yanhui and Weng Zhiyuan have arrived at the residence. I have settled them down. Master, do you want to see them?"
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "There is no hurry. Let them stay there for now."
He turned his head and waved his sleeves. The Small Pot Mirror suddenly rippled and the scene in the residence appeared in front of him.
He glanced around and saw that the Lu siblings and Monster King Jun Yue's cave room were faintly sealed. It was obvious that they were in seclusion. He couldn't help but nod. Among the three Monster Kings, Lu Meiniang and Jing Miaojun were cultivators in the third level of Core Transformation. If one of them could break through to the Yuanying Realm in the next few years, it would be greatly beneficial to him.
He turned the mirror again and shone it on Tian Kun's body.
Zhang Yan looked over and saw that he was cultivating in the cave, and he seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
Then he looked at his cultivation. His progress was not fast or slow. In these eight years, he had reached the second level of Clear Qi Realm and was on the verge of breaking through. But looking at him, it seemed that as long as no one came to disturb him, he could continue to cultivate like this.
Zhang Yan smiled. Among his four disciples, Liu Yanyi was intelligent and had her own opinions. However, he respected his master and respected his teachings, so there was no need for him to worry about anything. On the other hand, Tian Kun was wooden and introverted, as if there was nothing in the world that could move him other than cultivation.
As for the Wang sisters, they had yet to return to the residence after becoming lower house disciples, so no one knew how they were doing.
Thinking of this … He suddenly realized that there was something he had to do.
He had already been the Lower House Headmaster for eight years. Calculating the time, to the Lower House Disciples, it was another sixteen full years. Those who had reached the third level of Essence Condensation had reached perfection. He could already open his meridians and enter the upper house as a direct disciple.
But today was different. When he had become the monastery head, he had set down a rule that all disciples of the lower house were not allowed to open their meridians without permission. Even if you managed to open your meridians, without his stamp of approval, you would not be able to enter the upper house. Presumably, all the disciples were eagerly waiting for him to appear.
As he thought of this, he smiled. After reminding the mirror spirit, he stepped out of the formation door and out of the cave. He flew out and turned into a long smoke as he flew to the lower house.
He flew quickly and arrived at the Rippling Cloud Peak in a flash. He issued a decree. Not long after. The three monastery heads hurried over to greet him.
After talking with the three for a while, he had a general understanding of the matters of the lower house in the past eight years. He ordered the children in the monastery to ring the bell. Not long after, the bell on the eighteen peaks of Azure Parasol Mountain rang loudly, summoning all the disciples to come and meet him.
Although he had not shown his face for eight years, he was still shocked when he heard the sound of the bell.
The bloody scene from eight years ago flashed before the eyes of all the disciples of the lower house. Immediately, no one dared to be negligent. They immediately put down what they were doing and hurriedly rushed to Rippling Cloud Peak, afraid that if they were a step too late, they would lose their heads.
After the bell rang this time, in less than half an hour, all thirty-six disciples of the lower house had gathered.
Many of the disciples from aristocratic families felt uneasy. They did not know if Zhang Yan would torment them again.
Zhang Yan's gaze swept across and saw that the Wang sisters were among them. His gaze paused for a moment, then swept over them. He looked at each disciple seriously, then said slowly, "Most of you have been in the lower house for sixteen years. Today, a few of you will be promoted to become true disciples."
When the disciples heard that not everyone could become true disciples, there was a slight commotion. However, when Zhang Yan looked at them, they all kept quiet out of fear and lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
Zhang Yan was about to speak again when he suddenly saw a golden light flying over from the horizon. It turned in the air and flew towards him.
He looked around and caught it. It was a letter. After opening it, he glanced at it, then put it in his sleeve. He thought for a moment, then said to the disciples, "You can all go back to open your meridians. In three months, I will examine your meridians and choose the true disciples to send to the upper house. Today, you are dismissed."
The children in the monastery immediately rang the bell. With a long sound, the disciples hurriedly bowed and left. The aristocratic families' disciples all left worriedly. Only the four master and disciple disciples were full of vigor. They fell a step behind the crowd, then bowed to Zhang Yan and left Just Now.
The Wang sisters looked at each other. After the disciples on the peak had all left, they came up and bowed, saying in unison, "Disciples greet Master."
They were all beautiful, and their voices were like orioles coming out of the valley. The children brought by the three monastery heads could not help but take a few more glances.
Zhang Yan nodded and smiled, "In the eight years that I was not here, there was no one to supervise you two sisters. But now it seems that you did not fall behind in your homework and your cultivation is not bad. Now I allow you two to return to the residence and find a Jade Elixir Essence Pool to open your meridians."
There was no Jade Elixir Essence Pool in the Clear Serenity Heavenly Lake. When Liu Yanyi opened her meridians, it was Zhou Chongju who found it.
As for Tian Kun, his meridians opening was different from others. It was originally a pot of jade medicine that Gui Congyao had refined for him. When his cultivation reached a certain level, he just had to drink it, so there was no need to look for it.
But after annihilating the Su family, Zhang Yan obtained a continent. Not only did it have Disha, there were also a few top quality Jade Elixir Essence Pools, which could be used on the two sisters.
When the Wang sisters heard this, they were extremely happy. Wang Caiwei was still fine. She was an introverted and reserved person, but the corners of her eyes could not help but show a hint of joy.
And Wang Caiting was a lively person, so she clapped her hands and cheered out loud.
Zhang Yan saw that she revealed her true feelings and did not blame her. He smiled and said, "Senior brother has important matters to attend to. You all need to take care of yourselves. "
With a leap, he flew into the air and headed north.
Wang Caiting saw Zhang Yan fly into the air, a light white smoke as white as snow rolling around. Her beautiful eyes widened and she could not help but say enviously, "Sister, I wonder when we can be like Master, free like a bird."
Wang Caiwei was also lost in thought when she heard this. She looked at her reproachfully and said, "Sister, you are speaking without thinking again. How can you compare Master with a bird? You just need to cultivate well. After you open your meridians, Master will definitely pass down superior techniques to you. I think if you cultivate hard for a few years, you will also be able to fly into the cold jade."
Wang Caiting stuck out her little tongue. She came up and hugged Wang Caiwei's arm, giggling.
Zhang Yan's trip was to Daoist Peng's cave abode, the Guardian Palace.
When he arrived, he saw hundreds of disciples loitering outside the palace gates. He did not know what was going on. He could not help but feel surprised.
At this moment, a Daoist nun came to greet him. Zhang Yan had seen her twice and could be considered an acquaintance. He pointed downwards and asked, "Fellow Daoist, outside the palace. Why are there so many people? "
The Daoist nun glanced over and curled her lips. She said disdainfully, "Aren't they all here to be apprentices? The senior sisters are all getting old, so they want to accept a few disciples to inherit their mantle. When they heard this news, they immediately came to visit. When they heard the news, they all came like a swarm of bees, wanting to squeeze into the door. Hmph, why don't they think about how easy it is to be a disciple of the Guardian Palace? "
Zhang Yan nodded his head in realization, thinking that it was no wonder.
Daoist Peng's disciples, other than Qinnan, were all maidservants from the clan. They were all maidservants originally brought from the clan. After hundreds of years, their lifespans were naturally coming to an end, so they needed to take in a few capable disciples. After a few years, they would be released so that they could reincarnate and enter the Celestial Sect.
In the past, Daoist Peng kept a low profile. In addition, the Guardian Palace was originally a deserted place, so no one dared to rashly come to be his disciple. But now, it was no longer necessary. After the competition, Daoist Peng stood on the side of the master and disciple in a high-profile manner. His status in the sect had greatly increased, so naturally, countless disciples came to be his disciples.
In the eyes of those disciples, even if they could not be Daoist Peng's disciple, it was also good to be the disciple of the Daoist Dongtian.
The Daoist nun led Zhang Yan to the hall and left. After a moment, Daoist Peng came to the hall with a dozen maidservants.
But before he sat down, his phoenix eyes swept over Zhang Yan's face, and he said in surprise, "Have you broken through the shell?"
Zhang Yan stood up, bowed, and said with a smile, "Reporting to Daoist Peng, I was lucky to pass this test."
Daoist Peng looked at him for a long time, raised his hand, and gently said, "Don't stand, sit down and talk."
Daoist Peng had originally thought that Zhang Yan could break through the shell in 20 to 30 years, which was extremely fast.
But never had she imagined that Zhang Yan would only use eight years of time to emerge from his closed door cultivation. This shocking speed imperceptibly caused her to be unable to help but have a higher opinion of him.
Daoist Peng came to the main seat and sat down. He held the phoenix head chair with his lily-white hands, opened his red lips, and said, "In a few days, it will be the first day of the next month. There are more than ten disciples in the sect who want to enter the small devil cave to cultivate. However, since Martial Nephew Zhuang came back from the small devil cave, no one has gone to suppress it for many years. There are many devils in the cave, so it needs to be cleaned up. However, I don't have many capable disciples, and Qinnan's cultivation is still too shallow. Therefore, I have to ask you to go and protect them so that they can return safely."
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment. If it was just to protect the disciples, there was no need for him, one of the top ten disciples of the sect, to take action. One or two Core Formation cultivators would be enough.
With Daoist Peng's current relationship with the disciples, many people were willing to work for her. There must be other reasons. Therefore, he smiled and said, "Does Daoist Peng have any other instructions?"
Daoist Peng waved his hand, and the maidservants behind him understood and withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the hall. Daoist Peng's expression slightly froze, and she said, "You met the disciples of the Bloody Soul Sect in the small devil cave. After that, Martial Nephew Yuntian also sent a few elders to investigate, but they couldn't find the entrance. Now that the devil calamity is about to rise, this is a hidden danger. This time, you are going to escort the disciples, but if possible, you must find a way to find the entrance to avoid future troubles."
She looked at Zhang Yan and said, "This matter was personally appointed by the Sect Leader. I hope you will not disappoint him."
A glint flickered in Zhang Yan's eyes as he emotionally said, "The events of that year are still fresh in my memory. It was truly extremely dangerous, and in the end, only I, senior brother Xie, and junior brother Feng managed to escape. This is the territory of my Dark Azure Sect, so how can the Blood Soul Sect be so arrogant? Since it is the Sect Leader and Daoist Peng's care, I will accept it. I will definitely investigate this matter clearly! "
