Hearing Huo Xuan's words, Zhang Yan first pondered for a while, then looked at him and shook his head, saying, "Senior Huo, forgive me for not being able to comply."
Huo Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhang Yan. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Junior Brother, do you have any difficulties?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said frankly, "Just Now, I have returned from the Devil's Lair and have not yet returned to my cave abode, so I came here. If it was any other matter, it would only delay my cultivation for a few days. However, I am now in charge of the Lower House, and in half a month's time, I will need to select a true disciple and send him to the Upper House. At this juncture, how can I leave?"
Huo Xuan could not help but be taken aback. He had thought that Zhang Yan might refuse, but he was confident that he would be able to convince him. However, he had never thought that Zhang Yan would give such a reason. How could he care about the trifling matters of the Lower House?
However, this matter was not big, but it was not small either. True disciples were the foundation of Qincang School. According to the rules of the school, there was no reason to delay.
Zhang Yan was in charge of the Lower House. Without his seal, the meridian opening disciples could not go to the Upper House. This reason was enough even if it was brought up to the school master.
Huo Xuan could not help but frown. Although he was the top of the top ten disciples, if he immediately used the school master's seal, he could force Huo Xuan to lower his head.
However, he was ranked first among the top ten disciples. If he were to order a disciple who was only ranked ninth, he would have to rely on the Sect Leader to suppress him. Once this news got out, people would look down on him and he would lose all his prestige.
Zhang Yan stood there calmly without saying a word.
This matter was actually easy to solve. They were all top ten disciples, and he could not do things for free. The key was whether the price Huo Xuan was willing to pay was enough. He believed that Huo Xuan would be able to understand his meaning.
At this moment, a trace of a smile appeared on the corners of Zhong Muqing's mouth. He first glanced at Zhang Yan, and then he cupped his hands towards Huo Xuan and said, "Senior Brother Huo, in this little brother's opinion. Junior Brother Zhang has already broken out of his shell and is probably about to condense his mana and true seal. However, Senior Brother is chasing him around like this, causing him to be unable to cultivate in peace. This is not very appropriate. "
Huo Xuan glanced at him and nodded in agreement. "That's right, it's indeed unfair to Junior Brother Zhang. I wonder if Junior Brother has any brilliant ideas? "
Zhong Muqing chuckled and said, "How about this? In the past, there was an elder in the Du Zhen Hall who bestowed a True Seal Seed to me. But later on, I became a disciple of Spiritual Master Qin and he bestowed the seed to me. This thing is useless to me now. I'm willing to compensate you. What do you think? "
When he said this, Huo Xuan couldn't help but be moved.
After a Core Formation cultivator reached the second level, he would need to condense a True Seal.
However, how to condense a True Seal was quite particular. No matter how good one's aptitude was, no matter how high the quality of one's Core was, as long as one was careless, the condensed True Seal would have some flaws. This would cause one's future cultivation to be unstable and might even be unable to successfully form a Nascent Soul.
It wasn't easy for a cultivator to cultivate to this stage. Because the masters of the various families were afraid that their disciples would take the wrong path, they used their own essence qi as a guide to condense all kinds of profound principles and secret techniques on how to cross this threshold into a Talisman for the younger generation to condense. This was the True Seal Seed.
When a disciple condenses a True Seal, if he gets this kind of seed. It was equivalent to pointing out a wide and bright path in front of him. There was no need for him to carefully explore and waste time. He only needed to follow the True Seal Seed and cultivate step by step.
Within the True Seal Seed, because each family secretly passed down secret mental cultivation methods, it was usually not passed down to only direct disciples. Therefore, Huo Xuan and Zhang Yan were both surprised and surprised that Zhong Muqing was willing to generously take out this thing.
Huo Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "This is too unfair to Junior Brother. Even if you don't use this, your disciple can use it."
However, Zhong Muqing chuckled and shook his head. "It's fine. I'm a disciple of the Enlightened Master and naturally have an inheritance. I'm afraid I won't need this thing anymore. It's useless to keep it. I might as well do you a favor today and give it to Junior Brother Zhang."
Huo Xuan looked at Zhang Yan and tried his best to speak in a calm tone. He asked, "Junior Brother Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. Then, he cupped his hands and said, "Since Senior Brother Zhong is so generous, I can't refuse anymore. How about this, give me a few more days to settle the matters of the lower house before I leave. What do you think, Senior Brother Huo?"
Seeing that he finally agreed, Huo Xuan was in a good mood. He said, "It's fine. Junior Brother is in charge of the lower house. This matter must be handled properly. I originally wanted to invite Junior Brother to my residence. Since it's like this, I won't keep you."
Zhang Yan roared with laughter, and then he immediately bid farewell to the two of them before he stood up and flashed out, transforming into a ray of icy cold light that shot off into the distance.
After he left, Zhong Muqing also bid farewell to Huo Xuan and went to the Langya Grotto. His identity was special, so he entered the Inner House without being announced and went to see Immortal Qin.
Along the way, he saw green smoke from the furnace in the cave, shrouding a pool of clear water. The fragrance of pink lotuses seeped into the spring. Amidst the smoke, he looked up and suddenly saw Immortal Qin sitting cross-legged on a jade lotus. However, his figure was blurry, so he bowed and said, "Disciple greets Immortal Qin."
Immortal Qin said lightly, "You've seen that Zhang Yan?"
Zhong Muqing replied respectfully, "Yes."
Immortal Qin said, "What do you think of this person?"
Zhong Muqing thought about it and decided to tell the truth. He said, "It's only been eight years since the competition. This Zhang Yan was originally a first-grade Dan, but now he has broken through the shell. It's really impressive. It surprised me. If he continues to cultivate like that, his cultivation will definitely get higher and higher, and it will be harder to treat him."
Immortal Qin nodded and agreed, "Muqing, you're right."
Zhong Muqing raised his head and looked at Immortal Qin. He asked, "It's just that there's something I don't understand. I wonder if Immortal Qin can explain it to me?"
Immortal Qin said, "Speak."
Zhong Muqing gritted his teeth and bowed, "I wonder why Immortal Qin wants to give this True Seal Seed to Zhang Yan?"
The reason why he went to Huo Xuan today was because he was ordered by Immortal Qin to find an opportunity to give this True Seal to Zhang Yan.
This matter was actually not easy to handle. Other than not letting the two of them see any flaws, he also had to grasp the timing. It took him a lot of brainpower.
However, he had already secretly seen that the person who condensed the True Seal was so powerful that it was almost unimaginable. Even with his eyesight, he could faintly feel that this person's cultivation was even stronger than Immortal Qin's. If he had not passed this stage long ago, he might not have been able to resist coveting it. However, he did not know why he gave it to Zhang Yan for no reason.
Immortal Qin glanced at him and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Have you seen this seal?"
Zhong Muqing's body trembled. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I was rash."
However, Immortal Qin did not care and said, "It doesn't matter if you have seen it. You are my capable disciple, I should tell you about this matter. This True Seal Seed is indeed rare. If the sect did not have the change a hundred years ago, whoever obtained this kind of thing would be his good fortune. However, it is not possible now …"
When she said this, she snorted softly, as if there was some resentment, and said, "This thing was left by my senior brother in the past. If Zhang Yan condensed the True Seal according to the method, let's not talk about the reaction of the sect leader senior brother, but if he walks outside, my senior brother will definitely sense it. Do you understand?"
Zhong Muqing was shocked. He thought of the shocking Dharma during the battle of the Three Pools and immediately understood. He thought of the reason and sincerely admired, "Immortal Qin is indeed brilliant."
Immortal Qin raised his hand and waved, saying, "If you have nothing else, then you can leave."
Zhong Muqing bowed and slowly left the cave residence.
Immortal Qin stood up and stood there, looking at the pool of cold water under his feet.
Since Immortal Peng stepped into the chess game, she could already feel that the matters in the sect were gradually getting out of her control.
Especially recently, she increasingly felt that her hands and feet were tied. The previous feeling of being able to handle things with ease and detachment had long since disappeared.
However, since they were both Daoist Dongtian, she couldn't and couldn't do anything to him. However, it was much easier to deal with Zhang Yan. Taking advantage of the fact that his cultivation was still shallow and he hadn't stabilized his footing, she could still restore some of the situation.
After Zhang Yan left the Ten Peaks Mountain, he went all the way back to Zhao You Cave Residence.
He used the Lower House as an excuse in front of Huo Xuan, but it was not without a purpose. In fact, it was just to delay time.
He was not a reckless person. Not to mention that he had been warned by Immortal Peng to be careful, even if he was really ordered to go out, he could not rashly agree to it. He had to understand the details before he could take action.
Therefore, after he entered the main hall, he sent a Talisman to Zhou Chongju to see if he could get some information.
Then he entered the small pot mirror and sat on the bamboo building. He shook his sleeves and a loud sound was heard. A flying pavilion that was ten feet high appeared.
This building had six floors. On the eaves and pillars, there were all kinds of visible and ferocious beasts. It looked cold and quiet, full of evil spirit.
He flicked his sleeves and jumped inside. He first came to the stone tablet that controlled the mechanism of the restriction. After standing for a moment, he reached out and put his hand on it, operating the Divine Contract Cultivation Method.
Not long after, there was a slight vibration on his arm. He felt a rumbling sound coming from the entire Devil Treasury. He immediately realized that the fifth layer of restriction had been opened.
He could not help but feel happy. In the past, he could only reach above the fourth layer, but now that he had cultivated to the peak of the Divine Contract Cultivation Method, he wanted to give it a try. Sure enough, he opened the restriction in one fell swoop.
He tapped his feet, floated up along the staircase, and landed on the fifth layer.
He swept his gaze around and saw that the interior of the pavilion was built with white jade. However, there was a strange astrological diagram drawn on the ground. Even with his knowledge, he was unable to identify its origins.
After a few glances, he looked around and finally found the fourth to sixth layer of the Divine Contract Cultivation Method on a white jade wall in the corner.
He carefully read the set of cultivation method and found that it was more complicated than the previous three layers of the Divine Contract Cultivation Method. However, it still required him to kill people and use the Devil Slip to absorb their flesh and Primordial Spirit, especially the disciples of the Devil Sect.
As he was reading, the mirror spirit came out and held up his hands, saying, "Master, there is a flying letter from outside the mansion. Please have a look."
Zhang Yan took it and looked at it casually. He thought it was a letter from Zhou Chongju, but when he looked at the inscription, it was "Qin Mobai".
