Chapter 326: Accept disciples again
After signing the contract with the Mingxin Sect, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife waited for ten years and returned to the territory of the Ziyang Sect with four Five Elements Spirit Fruit and six Chalcedony Jinzhi.
In the past ten years, the sect has used the six treasured pieces to assist in opening up spiritual objects, and finally cultivated five purple mansions. Among them was Liu Guyan's closed disciple Li Yunxiu, this child was a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator, and he successfully opened up the Purple Mansion without using any spiritual objects.
Li Yunxiu is only eighty-three years old, and he has successfully opened up the Purple Mansion, and his cultivation progress is already as fast as Qingchan and faster than Zhang Zhixuan. But if this kid can really help, I'm afraid it will take hundreds of years.
The current scale of the Ziyang Sect, what can really change the situation of the sect, what is needed is a large number of golden pills, or Yuanying masters.
In the past ten years, the Ziyang Sect has distributed a large number of Zhuji Dan and Ziyang Dan, and the number of monks in the Foundation Building Period has also increased by fifty or sixty. The gap is replenished by about a tenth.
After ten years of recuperation, Zhang Sihong, who had a broken arm, has recovered from his injuries, and Tang Fenglan and Lu Hongniang, who had been broken in the sea of qi, have to wait for fifty years.
Zhou Huayang was the most seriously injured, half of his body was cut off, and now he completely relies on spiritual objects to hang his life, and he may be completely reduced to a wasted person, and he will not be able to fight with others for the rest of his life.
Wang Xiangxiang and You Nianwei Dantian were injured, and they also needed to cultivate for a long time, and it was difficult to participate in the battle of the sect in the last few hundred years.
The Ziyang Sect originally had nineteen Jindan monks, but four were killed in one battle, and six were seriously injured, resulting in the current number of Jindan monks being overstretched.
Even the other end of the Dafang Island teleportation array couldn't arrange manpower.
The people who signed contracts with the Shenshui Palace, Xuanyang Sect, and Red Flame Sect were all Yuanying monks, and once the Jin Dan guarding the teleportation array joined forces to make trouble, this teleportation array would not have any income.
In just ten years, the income from the teleportation array to the Ziyang Sect has begun to plummet, which makes Zhang Zhixuan also a little worried.
Fortunately, the Wuwei Sect's Five Elements Fruit Tree was ripe, and with four Five Elements Spirit Fruits, the Ziyang Sect was able to cultivate some people who could be used.
There are four ninth-level cultivators in the Purple Yang Sect, Zhang Yunlan and Wang Jingcheng hit the bottleneck of the Formation Pill for the first time, and naturally they did not succeed, but Gu Yunpeng and Xiao Louting took the Five Elements Spirit Fruit for the second time, and the accumulation was already relatively strong.
The good deeds of these two people were not enough, and now in order to support them, the Yuan Ying of the sect has generously donated money and borrowed good deeds to save them a lot of effort.
Gu Yunpeng and Xiao Louting really lived up to expectations, and they both succeeded in retreating for two years.
These two people didn't have time to stabilize their cultivation, Gu Yunpeng was sent by Zhang Zhixuan to the Dafang Island Teleportation Array to garrison and supervise the accounts, and Xiao Louting went to the Netherworld Eye, and cooperated with Nie Xingyuan and Li Lingxiu to guard the Netherworld Cave.
The two of them got married, and Zhang Sihong also recovered from his injuries, which finally relieved some of the pressure.
However, there is still no one in Danxia Shanfang City and Jiangyang Chengfang City. In addition to the three Southern Desolate Spirit Mountains, Tianchan Cave, Guiyuan Temple, and Qingyang Mountain, the more than ten fifth-order spirit veins controlled by the sect were also not guarded by Jindan. It will take at least a few hundred years to make up for this shortfall.
Ten years ago, in a big war, the Ziyang Sect suffered heavy losses, and almost every monk of the Mountain Gate wore filial piety.
There are white flags everywhere above the mountain gate, and countless people can't help but cry at night.
Of the remaining five disciples of Zhang Zhixuan, three of them were also killed, Wu Ruibao's path was cut off, and only one of the intact disciples was Tang Qisheng.
The five primordial babies of the sect, Qingchan and Lingjun, have decided not to accept disciples.
Of the remaining three Yuan Infants, there are only two of Zhang Zhixuan's disciples left. Chen Yunfeng's luck was even worse, there were only three disciples left, and two of them died, leaving only one person, although the three disciples of Liu Guyan were intact, but Tang Fenglan and You Nianwei had lost hope of enlightenment, and only Li Yunxiu was left who could inherit the mantle of Ziyang Tianhuo Jue.
These three ancestors may have broken their inheritance.
After Zhang Zhixuan and his wife returned, someone soon proposed to hold a ceremony to accept disciples, and select some disciples from the foundation disciples of the sect to be accepted as disciples.
In addition to Qingchan and Lingjun, the remaining Yuanying of the Ziyang Sect are still relatively young, and they are barely the same generation as the Jindan monks of the sect. They recruited disciples mainly to inherit the Taoist lineage.
Jin Dan and Zifu already have a foundation in cultivation, so the disciples recruited by the three Yuanying are all required to cultivate in the foundation building period, so that they can inherit the mantle and cultivate their core spells.
Yuanying Monk often retreats, often for ten or twenty years, and has no time to instruct his disciples in every detail. One negligence can lead a disciple astray, and it is really not suitable to teach monks who have no foundation.
The foundation building monk already has a foundation, and he is already very familiar with the common sense and taboos in the immortal cultivation world, so he doesn't need to point out from scratch, and it is the most suitable for the Yuanying monk to accept disciples.
The sect selected disciples this time, not only to inherit the Taoist system, but also to reward merit, to include some of the most promising monks into the core layer of the sect, and use the master-apprentice relationship to firmly tie them down.
Although most of the war pensions were issued, the sect's rewards were only for good deeds.
This war has emptied the treasury of the sect, except for the unrestricted scriptures, there are not many treasured spiritual objects in the treasury, even if there are enough good deeds, it is useless to exchange spiritual objects after all.
It will take at least a few decades or so to alleviate this situation.
Becoming a disciple of a high-ranking monk undoubtedly has a good background. At least at the moment of breaking through the realm, there are also people in the upper echelons of the sect who speak for you, and they will not be bullied.
Moreover, with a high-level monk as a master, there can also be someone to support and help on the path.
The acceptance of a few more disciples by a high-ranking monk can play a role in calming people's minds, and it is also good for the stability of the sect.
The matter of accepting disciples was completely entrusted to the presiding officer of the Chuangong Palace, and they selected one hundred and sixty people from the more than 2,000 foundation building monks of the sect.
These 160 people are all from their roots, and their ancestors are from their hometowns for three generations. They are all less than 100 years old, and the lowest spiritual root is also the third spiritual root, and they have some future in cultivation. In the Great War ten years ago, these people have withstood the test and made some achievements to a greater or lesser extent.
They were lucky enough to survive the brutal war.
These one hundred and sixty foundation-building monks are actually the core of the Purple Yang Sect in the future.
From these 160 disciples, Zhang Zhixuan selected two to be accepted as disciples.
The older one is dignified and upright, named Xu Ziyun. This person doesn't look young, he is already ninety-eight years old, and his cultivation has just been built at the sixth level, and this kind of disciple with a stable personality doesn't need to worry about the master many times.
The younger one is sixty-seven years old, named Liu Zhonghong, this person is the fire wood spirit root, he took the Ziyang Pill to build the foundation successfully before he was forty years old, and his cultivation has also reached the fifth layer of the foundation building, and he is about to catch up with his senior brother, and it seems that he has a more future.
These two disciples, Zhang Zhixuan are ready to let them practice the Pure Yang Treasure Book to see if they can inherit the Dao system.
After accepting these two disciples, Zhang Zhixuan immediately began to explain the Pure Yang Treasure Book to them, so that they could familiarize themselves with this exercise.
It is not easy for a monk to seek enlightenment. Even with the support of teachers in their infancy, not everyone has a future.
Zhang Zhixuan accepted ten disciples in his early years, and only one Tang Baosheng was left who had the opportunity to become enlightened. There was only one Jia Mengzhen who could die on the bed, and seven of the remaining eight disciples died.
Zhang Zhixuan is favored by heaven, and he has always spared no effort to support his disciples.
His ten disciples, except for Feng Jizong, Lu Linghao, He Zhongxing, and Jia Mengzhen in the early years, the remaining six people all successfully opened up the Purple Mansion with his support.
It's a pity that even if the Purple Mansion is opened, the road is still full of thorns. The six disciples are still sitting on four people, and the core factor why they have come to this point is that there is not enough chance.
