PS: Today is the first time
Zhang Yan walked around the Cang Zhu Peak for a night and checked the inside and outside of the cave. He had a clear understanding of the situation here. [R]

The Han Yuan Cave covered an area of about 30 acres. There was a large hall halfway up the mountain used to gather disciples and teach them martial arts. There were also more than a hundred houses, but most of them were not cleaned or protected. Therefore, most of the roof tiles were broken and covered with cobwebs. Not only did it not look like a Taoist sect, but it also gave off an aura of decay. Chu Mu Ran could not be blamed for this.
In truth, Chu Mu Ran couldn't be blamed for this. Shen Baishuang didn't put much thought into this matter back then. After he left, the mountain gate lost its biggest pillar of support. It was already difficult to maintain it until now, so how could he have the time to care about the uninhabited places scattered around the mountain?
All of this was actually a trivial matter to cultivators. However, as a Dao Cultivation Sect, it had been a few tens of years since a disciple had entered the sect, and they even lacked all the external materials required for cultivation, so it was a matter of life and death.
If it was in the Donghua Continent, it would not be a problem. Not to mention the ten sects of Xuanmen, even the second and third-rate sects and aristocratic families were equipped with Jade Elixir Flower Pools and spiritual shells. Even if the disciples closed their doors for a hundred years, they could still cultivate without any problems.
However, this did not work in the Dongsheng Continent. If the cultivators here needed items, they could only go to the Celestial City to buy them.
The person in charge of the Celestial City in the Divine House Mountain was Zhenren Yuanying from the Emshan Sect. Therefore, Taoist Chu had to send disciples to the Celestial City in the Chu Kingdom to buy things. However, because the distance was too far, it was very risky. If they were not careful, they could easily be killed by evil cultivators. Junior Brother Zhao almost lost his life this time.
All in all, the Han Yuan Cave could be said to be under pressure from both inside and outside. If Zhang Yan had come ten years later, even the Taoist tradition would have been severed.
Zhang Yan stood at the peak and looked at the rising sun. He could not help but think. "Since the sect master ordered me to open a sect here, it seems that I will have to stay in the Dongsheng Continent for another one or two hundred years. I must manage this place well."
He said to Wang Caiting who was standing behind him, "Disciple, go and invite Junior Brother Chu here."
Wang Caiting responded and flew away on the mysterious light. Not long after, Taoist Chu hurried over.
Zhang Yan said, "I invited Junior Brother here because I have a few things to tell you."
Taoist Chu said respectfully, "Chief, please tell me."
Zhang Yan, "I see that the area is too small and it is too cramped. It is not appropriate for a master and disciple to live in the same place.
When Priest Chu heard this, he secretly scolded himself. How could he not have thought of this? "Junior Brother," Chu said, "Junior Shen," Zhang Hua said, "Sect Master's of, Zhenren Yan," Celestial, "he said.
"Junior brother, I," Sect master of Qis, "Zhang," Sect, "Zhang of. Yan.", "Junior You are of of. Phe." Junior Martial Brother Chu, it's better for you to keep that cave for yourself. "
Priest Chu was surprised and asked a few more questions. Only then did he know that Zhang Yan wanted to build a few more cave residences in the mountain. In his heart, however, he was grumbling bitterly. He didn't expect this Manor Lord to care about his reputation so much. The construction of the palace required spiritual wood, stone, jade, and glass. This was not a small expense, but how could he take out the spirit shell now? However, this was the first time the Manor Head had arrived, so how could he go against the Manor Head's wishes? After pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I will definitely get this done."
The reason why Cang Zhu Peak was so named was because there were dozens of thousand-year-old Cang Zhu Trees growing on the mountain. Taking a branch from one of these trees, it could be used to refine magic treasures and flying boats. However, a hundred years ago, when the disciples of Hanyuan Sect fought with the disciples of Mount E Sect, they won more than half of them.
The remaining three saplings could be considered safe because they were within the mountain gate. However, without the spiritual liquid to water them, it would probably take a few hundred years for them to mature. Right now, he had no choice but to place his attention on them.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "This matter is not urgent, but there is another matter that needs to be arranged as soon as possible."
Priest Chu's heart tightened and he hurriedly said, "Manor Head, please tell me."
Zhang Yan said, "I have observed the Mountain Guarding Formation. The formation flags are simple and crude, and the spiritual light is dim. If we encounter a strong enemy, it won't last long. A sect's Mountain Guarding Formation is especially important. If we can't even protect the mountain gate, how can we pass on our skills and teachings?"
Priest Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Manor Head, there is no one in our sect who is proficient in formations. There is a formation map in the Celestial City, but the number of spiritual shells needed is in the hundreds of thousands. Our sect does not have that many, so we can only make do with it for now."
The Mountain Guarding Formation is best when the spiritual opportunity of the earth meridian is compatible. This needs someone who is proficient in formations to set it up. Because it involves the foundation of the sect, it is not suitable to call an outsider. The Hanyuan Cave's foundation is still shallow, and there is no such person. To be able to stand here for more than two hundred years without any problems was actually due to Shen Baishuang's influence.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I have some experience in the Dao of Prohibition Formation. You can choose a few disciples for this matter, I have my own arrangements."
Priest Chu was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Manor Head is proficient in formations. This is the fortune of Hanyuan Sect."
At this moment, a cloud suddenly flew up to the peak and landed. Priest Wen walked out and said loudly, "Senior Brother, Manor Head, there is a Zhenren outside the door with Junior Brother Zhao."
Priest Chu was surprised and said, "How is Junior Brother Zhao?"
"He has taken the pill and is fine now."
Priest Chu said, "Then why don't you call him over to greet the Manor Head?"
Priest Wen said yes and immediately left to carry out the order.
Not long after, three clouds of smoke flew down from the peak. After landing, Zhang Boyan walked out first, bowed to Zhang Yan and retreated to the side.
Daoist Wen stepped aside, revealing the last person. It was a short and stout Daoist wearing cloth shoes and a tall hat. This person had a flat face, small eyebrows, and a sparse beard. He didn't look very impressive, but when he saw Zhang Yan, he became slightly uneasy. He bowed and said, "Disciple Zhao Ge of Hanyuan greets the Manor Head."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Junior Brother, please rise."
He said a few words in a warm and gentle manner, but Zhao Ge was only a yes-man. When he asked who the person who attacked him was, he did not give a detailed answer. It was obvious that he was an introverted person and was not good with words.
Zhang Yan did not mind. After comforting him, he said, "Junior Brother Zhao has just recovered from his injuries, you should not tire yourself. Go back and rest first."
Zhao Ge bowed his head to thank him and retreated.
Priest Chu sighed and said, "Junior Brother Zhao is an honest person. Originally, he should not have gone this time. It's just that Junior Brother Wen is impulsive and does things rashly. I have to guard the mountain gate, so I had no other choice but to let him go. I didn't think that I would almost harm him."
Zhang Yan asked, "How old is this Junior Brother?"
Priest Chu thought for a while and replied, "When Junior Brother Zhao became my disciple, he was only a child of ten years old. He should be around two hundred and thirty years old."
Zhang Yan nodded and said with a smile, "I see that this Junior Brother's aptitude is above Junior Brother Chu and Junior Brother Wen. It's just that the skill that he cultivates is not compatible with him, so he was delayed."
Daoist Chu found it hard to continue the conversation. Back then, the Xuan technique was passed down by Shen Baishuang. Because Zhang Yan's status was different and his cultivation was high, he could say that there was something wrong with it. But as disciples, they could not criticize their teacher behind his back.
Zhang Yan did not linger on this topic. He took out a talisman paper from his sleeve and used his finger as a pen to cast a spell in the air. After ten minutes, he took it down and handed it to Priest Chu and said, "There are three skills in this, the three Junior Brothers can take it and cultivate it."
As one of the top ten disciples, he had already seen the most profound Five Gong and Three Scriptures in Qincang School, but this skill could not be easily passed down. However, he had read the ancient books in the school in Jingluo Academy and knew quite a few superior skills. He might as well choose a few suitable for the three to cultivate and pass them down.
Priest Chu immediately guessed that these three skills were definitely above the skills that he had previously cultivated. He could not help but be greatly excited and carefully put it away in his bosom.
Zhang Yan took a look and said, "Junior Brother Chu doesn't have a sleeve bag?"
Priest Chu blushed and said, "Junior Brother Zhao went to Immortal City to buy spiritual items, so I lent it to him."
Zhang Yan turned to Wang Caiwei and said, "Caiwei, in a moment, take three sleeve bags and send them to the three Junior Brothers' cave abodes."
Priest Chu hurriedly thanked him.
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "Junior Brother Chu, I'll have to trouble you with something. Go to Mount E Sect on my behalf and make an appointment with Zhenren Yong another day."
When Priest Wen heard this, he stood up excitedly and said, "Senior Brother is making an appointment with Yong Fu?"
Then he said hatefully, "This time, the one who injured Junior Brother Zhao must be a disciple of Mount E Sect! Manor Head, do not be courteous with him! "
Zhang Yan smiled but did not reply. He could see very clearly that the internal affairs of the school were not urgent, but the external crisis of Mount E Sect needed to be resolved first.
However, from the previous questioning, Mount E Sect's methods were actually not fierce. For the past two hundred years, the disciples of the two sects had never had a direct confrontation. Clearly, there were people who had a bottom line.
There was no way they did not know the current situation of Hanyan Sect. Even if Zhao Ge brought back some external cultivation items, he would not be able to hold out for a few years. They had waited patiently for more than two hundred years, so it was not that they could not afford to wait a few more days.
Although Zhao Ge was severely injured, the spirit shell on him was not taken away. This further proved that this was not the doing of Mount E Sect. There must be some other reason behind it.
Taoist Chu saw that Taoist Wen was extremely excited, shouting non-stop. He took a careful look at Zhang Yan and scolded, "The Manor Master has his own reasons for his arrangements. How is it up to you to interfere? Shut your mouth. "
Priest Wen was startled. He looked angry but did not dare to say anything.
Priest Chu turned around and said, "I will go now. Does the manor head have any other words for me to pass on?"
Zhang Yan smiled, "You can tell that fellow Daoist that he can choose the meeting place."
Taoist Chu nodded in agreement, then bid farewell and went down the peak. He returned to his cave abode and put the three cultivation techniques into the restriction. He turned around and was about to leave when he slapped his forehead and said, "Junior Brother Zhao and Junior Brother Wen both have cultivation techniques. How could I forget to improve Junior Brother just now? With his talent, if he can enter the manor head's eyes, he will definitely be able to soar to the sky. "
After thinking for a while, he called a disciple and said, "Go and get your Uncle-Master Gao. Tell him that I have something to tell him."
The disciple left for less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn before he returned and said, "Master, Uncle-Master Gao has left the mountain Just Now. I don't know where he went."
Priest Chu frowned and thought to himself, "Why did he leave the mountain at this time?"
