When Zhang Yu went to see Li Mizhen, Yu Ruiqing was invited by him to come out from the guest pavilion and took a flying carriage to the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace.
After Yu Ruiqing entered the palace, Zhang Yu's Life Seal Clone was standing there waiting for him. He saw him from afar and stepped forward, raised his sleeves and bowed. He smiled and said, "Zhang Tingzhi, you are here."
Zhang Tingzhi was a person who did not care about etiquette and customs, and was very sincere towards those of the same path. Aside from the exchanges in the Heaven Training Scripture, the two of them had not seen each other for a long time. If others called out Zhang Tingzhi's name, it might sound distant, but to him, it sounded free and easy, as if he was meeting an old friend.
Zhang Yu nodded, raised his sleeves and bowed. He said, "Daoist Yu, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's talk inside the palace."
Yu Ruiqing gladly agreed and followed Zhang Yu into the palace. He sat down at the table and chatted with Zhang Yu. When the fragrant tea was served, he said sincerely, "After my disciple came to Dongting, I heard her talk about many things. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."
Zhang Yu said, "When I went to Kui Su, I also gave Martial Nephew Yue some pointers. I can be considered as half his teacher. Moreover, Martial Nephew Yue is serious in his work and has made many contributions in Dongting. Why don't you thank him?"
Yu Ruiqing smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, I am being pretentious. But it's also true that I am climbing to the upper realm with the help of Tingzhi's Imprint. If Tingzhi did not open the path in front of me, I might not be where I am today. If I want to thank you, I can't thank you enough. I think Tingzhi doesn't care about this. After thinking about it, I can only seek the Imprint in the future and guide the younger disciples of Xuanxiu. "
Zhang Yu said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, you're right. Although the Dao of Xuan Dao has reached the upper realm, there's no end to the Dao. It's still incomparable to the True Dao. We need fellow Daoists to search for the Dao together and support each other. Only then can we find the path ahead."
Yu Ruiqing agreed in his heart. It was really because of many Xuanxiu that Xuan Fa was in its current situation. However, he had a clear understanding of himself and some of his comrades. He knew that there must be a guide at the front of this path. This person was also the most important one. This person was undoubtedly Zhang Yu. His role and position could not be replaced by anyone at present.
The two of them chatted for a while more before Yu Ruiqing said, "After coming to the upper levels for a few days, I have also understood some things. As long as we come to the upper levels, if we don't choose to cultivate in the Cloud Sea, we have to choose a position. It's just that the position of Guardian of the various continents is hard to come by, so we have to ask for a favor from the Court Administrator."
Zhang Yu said, "If Fellow Daoist Yu is willing to come to the Shouzheng Palace to take up the position of Shouzheng, I can't ask for more."
Now, with the expansion of the Shouzheng Palace's authority and the rise of his own status, the Shouzheng was no longer just a position during wartime and could be removed at will during wartime.
It was just that he still lacked a formal law to set it down. Therefore, in the next court meeting, he decided to raise this matter and set the position of Shouzheng as a permanent position like the other positions of Guardian. Of course, the specific responsibilities had to be sorted out clearly.
After Yu Ruiqing expressed his attitude, he immediately asked Daoist Ming Zhou to bring over the Shouzheng Robe Seal and gave it to him. He also explained some matters. Now, the Shouzheng Palace in various places was expanding. In the void, they were still searching for foreign lands and were lacking manpower. After asking and seeing that Yu Ruiqing did not have any objections, he arranged for him to patrol the void.
Yu Ruiqing received the order and took his leave to make preparations. He continued to cultivate his Dao and deal with other matters at the same time.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. After Daoist Xian Ding and Li Mishen settled the sect, they went to the upper level together according to the previous agreement.
Yu Lingbi originally planned to go with them, but she just asked for tens of thousands of people from Shenzhao, and the sect was short of manpower for a while. She had to do it herself as the sect leader. She had no time to leave and could only go to the upper level alone later.
Li Mishen and Xian Ding were guided by the talisman decree given by Tianxia. They brought a few accompanying disciples and quickly went through the void to the upper level. Under the guidance of Daoist Ming Zhou, they went to the Shouzheng Palace.
When Daoist Xian Ding saw Li Mishen sensing the surroundings, he transmitted his thoughts, "This place was opened by the few powerful people behind Tianxia with the Clear Sky Boat. If we cultivate here, it will be very beneficial to our cultivation."
Li Mishen said, "Since there are such benefits, why did you leave in the first place?"
Daoist Xian Ding smiled and said, "If the Dao is not clear and the reason is not correct, these benefits will not be benefits." He paused and said, "In fact, in addition to this place, Tianxia also has Xuan food, which can help us cultivate. Ordinary Xuan Zun's cultivation is far better than their peers, so Tianxia is getting stronger and stronger."
Li Mishen said, "I have heard about this from my friends in Huanyang school. I wonder where it comes from?"
Daoist Xian Ding said, "I have never been in charge of the court, so I don't know. But I think it has something to do with the Clear Sky Boat."
Li Mishen nodded unconsciously.
After traveling for half a summer above the sea of clouds, the flying car stopped in front of the Shouzheng Palace. After getting off the car, Daoist Ming Zhou led them into the main hall. As soon as they entered the main hall, they saw Zhang Yu standing on the jade platform. They came up to greet him and then sat down in the hall.
After a few words, Li Mishen pointed to the Daoist boy standing beside him and said, "My disciple's qualification is very good. He can be regarded as a genius of the younger generation. He wants to cultivate in Tianxia. Can you allow him?"
Zhang Yu glanced at the boy, who was one of the tea boys he saw when he met Li Mishen the day before yesterday. At a glance, he knew that his qualification was very good.
Li Mishen proposed this proposal, which was an act of goodwill, and also to reassure Tianxia.
Not only was his qualification outstanding, but he could also be placed beside the Supreme Venerable of a sect. He was not only cultivated as a successor, but also a mainstay of the sect in the future. There was no doubt that this boy should be very suitable to cultivate the cultivation method of the Shenzhao Sect.
It was easy to find a disciple with good talent, but it was very rare to find one who was also suitable for the cultivation method of the sect. It might not be found in hundreds or thousands of years. Such a person was enough to determine the prosperity of a sect. He could not be sacrificed casually. This time, the Shenzhao Sect took the initiative to show that they were willing to be close to Tianxia.
Of course, this disciple was not at a disadvantage in Tianxia. He could cultivate in the upper level, which was something that others could not ask for. So this was also an exchange.
He said, "This disciple of your sect is very smart. He can stay in the upper level."
Li Mishen hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Deacon Ting."
Daoist Xian Ding sat on the table, looking very calm. He did not make the same choice as Li Mishen. Because he was different from Li Mishen. As long as You City was not disturbed, he could do anything. And he thought that if he sent a disciple to stay in Tianxia for a long time, would he still be a person from You City? It would be better not to send him.
While the two of them were visiting Shouzheng Palace, Wu Qingxu came to Zhangsun Tingzhi's Yichang Daoist Palace.
When Zhangsun Tingzhi saw him, he did not say much and directly brought him to the inner hall. He pointed to the disciples who were sitting cross-legged and cultivating here and said, "These are the two new disciples that I have taken in. They are also the ones that I have carefully selected. They will try the Meridian Planting Technique this time."
Wu Qingxu said, "Only at this step? Hasn't Zhangsun Tingzhi been trying to break through to the upper level? "
Zhangsun Tingzhi said, "It can be done like this. But Deacon Wu, the time that you asked for is too short. It is impossible to follow the previous path step by step, so I have to try something else.
I've chosen to start with these two disciples. If they get used to it, I can look for people who are closer to them. According to your request, these people must be willing, so the scope will be further narrowed. Whether or not I can find a suitable target, it's hard to tell at the moment. "
Wu Qingxu said firmly, "No matter what, there are some bottom lines that cannot be broken."
Zhangsun Tingzhi said faintly, "Then let's focus on the present. We can only discuss the next step after this step is successful." He paused for a moment and said, "I can order them to start now."
Wu Qingxu raised his hand and said, "Wait a moment. I need to ask them first. "
Zhangsun Tingzhi did not say anything.
Wu Qingxu walked forward and looked at the two disciples. He said, "Do you know what path you are going to take?"
The two disciples looked at each other. One of them replied respectfully, "Senior, Master has already explained it to us. We are all willing. We know that our aptitudes are too low, so we are grateful that Master has given us this opportunity. Even if we fail, it will only be because we are too stupid. "
The other disciple added, "Yes, we are afraid that Master will be disappointed."
Wu Qingxu did not say anything else. It was fine as long as the two disciples were clear about it. Moreover, this attempt would not endanger their lives. If they failed, they would never be able to advance to a higher level in the future. Wu Qingxu had seen that the two disciples indeed had mediocre aptitudes. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for them to advance to the upper level.
He nodded at Zhangsun Tingzhi and said, "Zhangsun Tingzhi, you may begin."
Zhangsun Qian glanced over, and then two scarlet red pots about the height of a person rose from the ground, stopping in front of the two disciples. He said, "I have already explained everything that needs to be explained. You two can begin."
The two disciples looked at each other and nodded. Then, they took out a red pill and swallowed it together.
After the pill's efficacy spread, the two of them walked toward the clay pots in front of them. When they came into contact with the clay pots, it was as if they had entered a soft sand pile. The two of them quickly melted into the clay pots and disappeared without a trace.
Wu Qingxu asked in a deep voice, "How long will it take?"
Zhangsun Tingzhi replied, "The longest is three days. However, the two of them will know the results in two days."
Wu Qingxu asked, "Will the upper level take longer?"
Zhangsun Tingzhi replied, "According to my estimation, it will take at least a month."
Wu Qingxu was silent for a moment before he said, "We need to hurry." What they lacked the most at the moment was time. Although they knew that he was in a hurry, Yuan Xia's threat was too great, so they had no choice but to speed up.
Zhangsun Tingzhi said faintly, "We still need to look at the situation at hand."
A day passed very quickly. During this period, the two clay pots gradually changed from their original red color to sparkling and translucent like jade. The figures of the two disciples inside were also faintly discernible.
On the second day, clear cracks appeared on the surface of the jade jar. First, a piece of it fell to the ground, creating a crisp sound. Then, more and more pieces fell to the ground, and the situation inside was revealed.
