Chapter 9: Weeping and Wetting Clothes
Sikong was overjoyed, being able to be accepted as a true disciple by a deputy sect master was naturally a good thing.
"Disciple is willing!" Sikong hurriedly replied.
"Okay!" Bai He nodded, "You stand behind me." ”
"Lan Man, are you willing to be my disciple?" Ye Bi looked at Lan Man and asked.
Lan Man is a young female cultivator about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a long cyan dress, with a beautiful face, and between her eyebrows, she naturally exudes an aura, which makes people feel good.
"Lanman is willing!"
Lan Man also stood behind Ye Bi.
Subsequently, Wei Siyuan accepted Shi Conglong of the Pure Gold Spirit Root as a disciple, and He Hui, who was the Pure Fire Spirit Root, had no choice for a while.
Because He Hui's disciple quota originally belonged to the sect leader, but Zhang Ming left directly in a rage.
He Hui is a pure fire spirit root, in fact, everyone hopes to be able to accept such a talented disciple, but everyone knows that if He Hui is included in the door now, it will be tantamount to offending Zhang Ming, no one would be so stupid to offend the sect master for a disciple.
"He Hui, you don't have to worry. The sect master has already told me that he will accept you as his disciple. However, the sect master has some things to deal with personally, so he didn't come over. Later, I'll have someone take you over to meet the sect master. Seeing He Hui's expectant expression, Bai He spoke. He Hui was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that she would be accepted as an apprentice by the sect master, and then on his face, a trace of joy was revealed, it was a very proud thing to be accepted by the sect master.
Under the distribution of a few deputy sect masters, there were gradually not many disciples left.
Until the end, there was only one person left, and that was Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao's talent is indeed the worst among this batch of disciples who have been promoted, but his performance has exceeded everyone's expectations, and it was originally not without the selection of the peak master, but because Zhang Hao angered Zhang Ming, the other peak masters deliberately did not choose him.
Nian Ci was not because Zhang Hao angered Zhang Ming, but because Zhang Hao killed Chen Xinci and killed the Tianlinggen disciple who originally belonged to him, so he had some resentment towards Zhang Hao in his heart.
"Zhang Hao, although you have passed the assessment, if no one includes you in the peak, then you can only become a candidate inner disciple. If there are still no elders to accept you as a disciple within half a year, then you can only be put into the world by the sect to manage the sect's property. Bai He looked at Zhang Hao and said.
Everyone present focused on Zhang Hao's body, and everyone's thoughts were different, but the vast majority of them thought that Zhang Hao might not accept it this time.
"Disciple understands!" Zhang Hao nodded and replied, sighing secretly in his heart.
"Since you don't want him, then I'll ask for it!"
Just when everyone thought that the matter was settled, Nian suddenly spoke.
Zhang Hao was very surprised in his heart, he already knew that Chen Xinci was originally a disciple of Nianci, but he died in his hands, Nianci should be the person who hated him the most among everyone, but why did he take him into his disciple at this time.
"Zhang Hao, are you willing to join my Tai Ah Feng?" asked Nian Ci with a pair of old eyes looking at Zhang Hao.
"The disciple is willing!" Zhang Hao hurriedly replied.
"Okay, since all the disciples have been distributed, then this assessment is over, and as for the additional rewards of the sect master, we will have to wait for the sect master to be free before distributing them to everyone!" Bai He said.
Zhang Hao sneered in his heart, Zhang Ming was not free. At the same time, Zhang Hao secretly doubted whether Zhang Ming would still give out rewards?
However, as the head of a faction, I'm afraid I won't be untrustworthy, right?
Subsequently, Zhang Hao and the other eight disciples who had passed the assessment followed Nian Ji and several elders to Tai'a Peak.
Tai'a is a famous sword, one of the magic weapons of the Imperial Sword Sect, cutting gold and cracking stones, and the sharpness is incomparable. As its name suggests, Tai'a Feng Mountain is like an upside-down sword, towering and steep, verdant and strange, the true disciples live in the elder's palace, and most of the inner disciples can only dig caves according to the mountain, cultivate and live in it.
Tai Ah Feng Tai Ah Palace.
Nian Ci and the six elders of Tai Ah Feng stood in front, and Zhang Hao and the other nine disciples who had just come in lined up.
Perhaps because of Chen Xinci's death, Nian Ci did not accept others as true disciples, except for Zhang Hao, the other eight people were all taken away by the six elders as disciples.
In the end, only Zhang Hao stood alone in the Tai'a Hall of Nuoda.
"I won't accept you as a disciple. Nian Ci shook his head and looked at Zhang Hao, and said, "You killed Chen Xinci, I know it's not your fault." But Chen Xinci is a Heavenly Spirit Root, and he should have been my disciple. But...... I will not reproach you for that. I brought you to Tai'a Peak because no other peak master is willing to take you under his door. ”
"The disciple understands. Zhang Hao nodded, he was very grateful to this old man who looked a little thin.
As for no one to take him in, Zhang Hao didn't care at all, for others, it was unbelievable to have a master to guide him in cultivation and give him help in terms of resources, at least he could avoid many detours. But for Zhang Hao, he is the best master, his memory is wider than anyone in this world, and for him, there is not even a bottleneck in cultivation at all.
"Since you understand, that's good. In the future, your cultivation can only rely on yourself. This is your storage bag, and as for your cave, it's up to you to find it yourself. As long as no one occupies it, you can choose any place. All right...... That's it......" Nian Ci sighed and waved his hand.
Zhang Hao took the storage bag and retreated.
At this time, the sky was already full of stars, Zhang Hao walked alone on the forest path of Tai'a Peak, the wind blew the pine trees overhead, making a rustling sound like flowing water, which inadvertently made Zhang Hao's mood become quiet.
Coming to this world, Zhang Hao still adapted well to the identity of a little monk.
But when he walked out of the Tai'a Palace, Zhang Hao's heart suddenly felt a little lost, everyone else was taken away, but he was the only one alone, because he killed Chen Xinci, he seemed to be a sinner in this sect, and all the elders and even other disciples were deliberately avoiding him......
It was because he killed a Heavenly Spirit Root disciple that he was pushed down on the opposite side of the entire world, and it seemed that everyone was isolating him.
However, Nian's behavior made Zhang Hao feel warm in his heart. This old man did not stay away from him like everyone else, not only did he not blame Zhang Hao for killing his genius disciple, but instead took him to Tai'a Peak.
In addition to a little loss, Zhang Hao was more unwilling in his heart.
Unwillingly, why should the sect master and sect elders do this to themselves?
"Do you think that my achievements will be inferior to Chen Xinci?" A sneer appeared on Zhang Hao's face, and at this moment, the arrogance of the Stardust Immortal Emperor seemed to spread out from the bottom of his heart again, "Isn't it just a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Root?" I have crisscrossed the Immortal Realm, and I have seen countless disciples with amazing talents, and there are not a few people who are hundreds of times better than Chen Xinci's talent, but among them, how many of them can match my achievements?"
In silence, Zhang Hao had already walked through several vacant caves, but Zhang Hao was not very satisfied with these caves. In the end, Zhang Hao found a cave next to a cliff, this cave house faces a thousand zhang cliff, next to two verdant pines, not far away, there is actually a trickling mountain stream meandering through.
Zhang Hao was very satisfied with this place, so he chose this cave mansion.
When entering the cave, Zhang Hao waved the identity jade card in the storage bag on the forbidden formation outside the cave, and the prohibition of the cave fell silent again, but directly above the entrance of the cave, there was a slightly shining point of light, which means that the cave already has an owner, under normal circumstances, unless it is invited by the owner of the cave, no one else can break the formation and enter the other person's cave.
There is no sign of darkness in the cave, and the shiny bright stones are inlaid on the stone walls, illuminating the cave brightly and unobstructed.
This cave house is not simple, there are practice rooms, pill pharmacies, dining rooms and even small rooms for rest, and the facilities in each room are very complete.
Zhang Hao is very satisfied with this cave, he plans to go to the outer mountain tomorrow to take Ye Yu over to cultivate together, Tai'a Feng's aura is very strong, and it is obviously much thicker than the upper outer mountain, and the speed of cultivating in the inner mountain is definitely faster than that of the outer mountain. As a disciple of the inner gate, you can bring three people into the inner gate together, after all, there are some family members who are used to taking their attendants with them when they cultivate and travel.
After planning everything, Zhang Hao began to organize his thoughts, planning how to go next, and how to cultivate immortals to go to the immortal realm as soon as possible.
First of all, this physical body must be improved, and with the help of the "Xuan Tortoise Secret Method" and the "Body Refining Technique", the physical body can be forged into an extremely powerful body.
Secondly, the cultivation talent must be improved. Cultivating "Hongmeng Purple Qi" can improve talent, but if you want to give full play to "Hongmeng Purple Qi", you also need three anti-heaven pills: Yanling Pill, Naling Pill and Melting Spirit Pill. Naling Pill and Melting Spirit Pill, that is something that Zhang Hao can't think of now, not to mention whether the materials of these two pills can be gathered in the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm, without the strength of the immortals, it is impossible to refine these two pills.
However, these two elixirs should not be used in the early stage of cultivating "Hongmeng Purple Qi", so Zhang Hao only needs to refine the Yanling Pill. With the cooperation of Yanling Pill and "Hongmeng Purple Qi", the improvement of talent is not a problem.
In the end, Zhang Hao thought carefully about his current situation, he was no longer the Stardust Immortal Emperor, and he couldn't always think that he was still the high-ranking Immortal Emperor, which would only affect his state of mind and cultivation.
He had to fully integrate into the role of this little monk, and completely regard himself as an inconspicuous Qi cultivator at the bottom of this world.
"I am Zhang Hao, a disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, and at the same time a member of the Chengyang Zhang family. ”
Memories were like a spring of water, gushing out little by little, and soon occupied Zhang Hao's entire mind. In Zhang Hao's subconscious, he has slowly regarded himself as an original work native to this world. And thinking of his relatives in this life, looking back, the bits and pieces of warm family affection that made him sink into this identity even more.
Zhang Hao quickly thought of his father Zhang Lin, in order to let Zhang Hao enter the Imperial Sword Sect, Zhang Lin almost exhausted all the family property. This was a very difficult decision for the already down-and-out Zhang family. If Zhang Hao's cultivation talent was excellent, it would be fine, but obviously his talent was not good, but his father did not hesitate to exhaust all his family wealth and asked for a guide token for Zhang Hao, which made Zhang Hao an outer disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect.
For his father, Zhang Hao was able to become an inner disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, which was a great joy. Once Zhang Hao becomes an inner disciple, the down-and-out Zhang family will definitely prosper again, and no one in Chengyang will dare to oppress the Zhang family.
However, Zhang Lin knew Zhang Hao's talent, so he also knew that it was almost impossible for Zhang Hao to become an inner disciple, but he always had a trace of expectation in his heart, although the hope was a little pitiful.
"Father, I made it. Zhang Hao couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, and a scene deeply rooted in his memory suddenly appeared in his mind.
It was the Chinese New Year, and in order to let Zhang Hao cultivate better, his father bought him a pheasant chicken stew to replenish his body. The Pheasant Chicken is a low-level demon beast full of spiritual energy and delicious meat, which is not very aggressive, and is an excellent ingredient for monks to nourish their bodies.
For the rich and noble, it is not very difficult to eat pheasant chicken. But for the down-and-out Zhang family, it costs enough money to make the whole family live for a year.
And in order to let Zhang Hao and his sister eat more, his father said that he hated the smell of pheasant chicken very much.
Zhang Hao, who was originally ignorant, thought that his father really hated eating pheasant chicken, until later in the kitchen, he accidentally saw his father secretly boiling soup with the leftover chicken bones eaten by the two siblings......
At this moment, in the corner of Zhang Hao's eyes, a touch of warmth suddenly flowed out.
This kind of feeling had never been felt in his previous life when he was a Sword Emperor.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Hao closed his eyes lightly, afraid of squeezing out the liquid that overflowed his eyes.
