Han Suyi stayed in Ten Peaks Mountain for a long time. He discussed some matters with Huo Xuan. Before he left, he reported his experience of wiping out the Demon Clan in detail.
Huo Xuan immediately became vigilant when he heard that Demon King Quan He knew how to use a demonic technique. He felt that something was amiss.
He couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the Devil's Doctrine is behind these three demonic tribes that are wreaking havoc in Donghua?"
If the Demon Clan of the North Darkstar Continent and the disciples of the Demonic Sect were working together, it would be bad news for Qincang School. It might even disrupt his original plan.
Thinking of this, he could not help but look solemn. To be cautious, he brought Demon King Quan He over for questioning.
Quan He and the Demon King had lost a lot of their sharpness after fighting with Zhang Yan previously. At this moment, they were in the Yincang Sect, their cultivation was suppressed by the talisman seal, and they were facing a Nascent Soul Daoist Master alone. How could they dare to put on airs as a Demon King?
Hearing Huo Xuan's question, she immediately replied respectfully and honestly, "Reporting to Spiritual Master Huo, this little demon doesn't know where this cultivation method came from. It's just that when I woke up one day, this cultivation method was left in my mind, as if I was born with it."
Huo Xuan frowned slightly. Based on what this demon said, this seemed to be the Devil Sect's Dream Invasion Technique. However, this technique was an evil technique, and it was only executed to injure the essence, qi, and soul of the target. Moreover, the target wasn't completely unharmed, so it was rare to pass down a technique like this. Thus, Huo Xuan asked, "After you obtained this technique, did you cultivate with ease?"
Quan He shook his head, "Not so. I was very careful at first, afraid that I would fall into someone else's trap. But because I saw that it was a shocking technique, and that it didn't require any external help, I couldn't help but practice it. After that, I didn't have any abnormalities. "
This technique could only be used to confuse the enemy and escape. It was fine against people with low cultivation, but it was useless against Zhang Yan.
Huo Xuan could tell that he wasn't lying, so he asked a few more times, but he couldn't get anything useful out of him. He didn't want to spend too much time on an Evil King. He was about to dispose of it when Han Suyi said, "Junior Brother Zhang said he would take this Evil King as his guardian spirit beast. Senior Brother Huo, why don't you give it to him?"
Huo Xuan thought for a moment before his expression eased up, and he said calmly, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble Junior Sister to go."
Han Suyi rose to her feet. She said softly, "Senior Brother, this little sister will take her leave."
Huo Xuan nodded silently.
Han Suyi waved at Quan He, and a wisp of smoke flew out to pick him up. Then, he turned into a breeze and flew away.
Quan He had no idea that he had just walked on the edge of life and death. He had no choice but to follow Han Suyi obediently.
Huo Xuan waved his hand lightly and wiped away the faint fragrance in the cave with a calm expression. Then, he closed the cave door and went into meditation.
At the same time, in the Clear Nether Lake. Jiang Zheng kowtowed three times to Zhang Yan, officially completing the ceremony of becoming his disciple.
Zhang Yan smiled, "Disciple, you may rise."
When Jiang Zheng stood up, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. It had been thirty years, and he thought he wouldn't be able to see his teacher again. He didn't expect that he would finally be accepted into the school. Thinking about it, it was all because of the kindness in his heart.
If Zhang Yan hadn't saved him from the flood, he wouldn't be the Jiang Zheng he was today. If he hadn't come all the way to Chuizhou to stop the demons for the people, he wouldn't have been able to join the school. He thought to himself, "If I succeed in my cultivation, I'll have to do more good deeds."
Zhang Yan looked at him and said, "Jiang Zheng, you are now a disciple in name. Now that you've entered my sect, you can be considered an in-name disciple. The sect doesn't restrict you from staying or leaving. Besides the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake, I have many spirit islands and wondrous peaks here. If you want, you can choose one of them to establish your own abode. "
Jiang Zheng looked up and said, "Disciple is willing to listen to Teacher's teachings."
Zhang Yan smiled, "That's up to you. I'll teach you a technique, and you can comprehend it on your own. I'll also give you a talisman to protect yourself."
With a wave of his sleeve, spiritual light suddenly appeared and three items flew out. One was a sleeve pouch, the second was a horsetail whisk, and the third was a talisman. Each of them emitted a brilliant light and an oppressive spiritual energy as they floated in the air.
Jiang Zheng went up to receive them and knelt to thank him again.
Zhang Yan counted the days. He had to cultivate the Wood Elemental True Light in seclusion, so he probably wouldn't be able to take care of his disciple.
After thinking for a while, a baleful aura rose in him. He took out some of the Four Monarchs Water, Qi Ganoderma, and Clear Stone Milk left over from the last time and wrapped them in spiritual light. He pointed them to Jiang Zheng and said, "Send these three herbs to Lady Luo. I'll be going into seclusion in a few days. If you don't understand anything in your cultivation, you can ask her."
Jiang Zheng had been traveling among the mortals all these years, so he immediately understood. Teacher wanted to use him to do a favor and take care of him, so he answered, "Yes, Teacher."
Zhang Yan waved his sleeve lightly and said, "Go."
Jiang Zheng knelt down and bowed before leaving the main hall.
The moment he went out, he thought of the many halls and paths here. He had just arrived, so he didn't know where he should stay.
He wasn't in a hurry, and he walked forward slowly with steady steps. He looked at the scenery around him, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration at the beautiful scenery.
Unknowingly, he arrived at the corner of the palace. At this moment, he saw a girl in red with a sweet face and bright eyes walking toward him.
He didn't know where she came from, but from her appearance, she didn't look like an ordinary servant girl. Thus, he didn't dare to act rashly and avoided her.
Wang Caiting came here today to ask Zhang Yan about the difficulties in cultivation, but she suddenly saw an unfamiliar young Daoist standing at the side. She couldn't help but stare at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "Hey, who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? "
Jiang Zheng hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm Jiang Zheng, Teacher Zhang's newly accepted disciple."
Wang Caiting had a look of realization. She then looked at him curiously and said, "So you're Teacher's newly accepted Little Junior Brother."
In terms of age, Jiang Zheng was close to fifty years old. Suddenly being called Little Junior Brother by a cute and lively girl, a strange feeling arose in his heart.
However, he quickly adjusted himself. He thought to himself, how can a cultivator's age be judged by appearance? Maybe this girl's age is far above his, so he said respectfully, "Yes, Junior Brother is new in the sect and doesn't know the rules. I don't know my fellow disciples. May I know how to address this Senior Sister?"
Wang Caiting giggled and said, "Listen well, my surname is Wang, and I'm the youngest in the sect. Since you're here, you should call me Fourth Senior Sister."
Jiang Zheng thought to himself, So Teacher has four disciples.
Although he saw that this Senior Sister Wang's cultivation was lower than his, he had trained in the mortal world for a long time, so he was very humble and tactful. He didn't look down on her at all, and he didn't lack etiquette on his face. He bowed and said, "So it's Fourth Senior Sister, this little brother greets you."
Wang Caiting responded with a sound of joy.
She had previously heard from the maidservants that her teacher had brought back another disciple. She was curious and wanted to find some time to see what he looked like and whether he would be fun. She didn't expect to meet him here. Although it didn't seem like what she had imagined, when they talked, she found a trace of the feeling of being a Senior Sister. She waved her hand and happily said, "Junior Brother is too polite. In the future, when you're cultivating in the mansion, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your Senior Sister."
Jiang Zheng saw that she was a person without any schemes. He smiled and said, "Yes, if I have any questions, I will definitely come and ask. I hope Senior Sister doesn't mind."
Wang Caiting was even happier. She was also very depressed in the house. Wang Caiwei and Tian Kun only cared about cultivation and never chatted with her. Now that she saw Jiang Zheng, she didn't let him go. Instead, she dragged him and said, "Come, Junior Brother, you and Senior Sister talk about the mortal world. Hmm, pick the fun stuff to talk about."
She had never been to Qincang School before and had only heard about it from the elders, so she was naturally curious.
Jiang Zheng could not refuse and could only choose some novel things to talk about. Fortunately, he was indeed experienced and knowledgeable. Moreover, with his cultivation base, he was not afraid of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects. He had been to many remote mountains and ancient forests. Listening to Wang Caiting with great interest, he forgot his original intention of coming here.
She had condensed a Xuan Seed in the past few days and was only one step away from the Mystic Light Realm. However, she couldn't take that step no matter what. She couldn't help but become impatient. However, the more impatient she was, the more she couldn't pass. Feeling dejected, she came to ask Zhang Yan for help.
However, after listening to Jiang Zheng's interesting stories, she felt happy and lively. The frustration that had been bothering her for the past few days was swept away and she returned to her natural nature. Suddenly, the meridians in her body smoothed out, as if some shackles had been broken.
At this instant, a beam of light shot through the obstacles and appeared above her head. It was a bright red ball in the shape of Xing Ruozhi, which hung above her head.
Jiang Zheng couldn't help but be surprised. After pausing for a while, he clasped his hands and said sincerely, "Congratulations, Fourth Senior Sister."
He had only broken through to the Mystic Light Realm in the past few years, and because he didn't have a teacher to guide him, he had put in a lot of hard work. He didn't think that this Senior Sister would be able to break through just by saying a few words to him. It would be a lie if he didn't say that he was envious, and the joy of joining the sect faded a little. He made up his mind and said, "Everyone under Teacher's tutelage must be like this. It won't be easy for me to have a place here. From today onwards, I'll have to catch up."
Wang Caiting had only used three years or so to break through to the Mystic Light Realm. One reason was because her talent was good, and her foundation was stable. She had used around ten years to condense her Yuan Qi. The other reason was that the cultivation technique that Zhang Yan had chosen for her was the one that had been chosen from more than one hundred books. It was the most suitable for her, and it was a cultivation technique that allowed her to progress extremely quickly. Adding on the fact that she had the help of the Clear Dark Heavenly Lake, the Spirit Qi here was not something that the caves outside could compare to.
Wang Caiting was overjoyed for a good while when the difficulty that had plagued her for so many days was actually easily resolved. When she came to her senses, she realized that she'd left Jiang Zheng out in the cold, and she instantly felt slightly embarrassed. Her beautiful eyes turned as she withdrew an object from her pouch and stuffed it into Jiang Zheng's hand. She said, "Junior Brother, this is a greeting gift from Senior Sister."
Jiang Zheng rejected it slightly before accepting it. However, before he could see what it was, Wang Caiting pulled his sleeve and said, "Come, come with me."
Jiang Zheng paused and asked, "Go where?"
Wang Caiting blinked and smiled. "Junior Martial Brother, you have a Senior Martial Sister and a Senior Martial Brother. How can I be the only one to come out? They should have a part as well!"
