Chapter 13 Treatment
Approaching Kyoto, before entering the city, Zhang Zhiping felt a foul smell coming to his face, and the mana operation in his body was faintly hindered, this situation immediately made him frown, and finally deeply realized the reason why the immortal cultivator was reluctant to enter the mortal city.
Li Zhenchang added dust avoidance techniques to the two of them in time, and the stench disappeared, allowing him to return to normal. Originally, he didn't learn those little spells because he wanted to learn the mantra syllables first, but now he decided, no matter what, to learn the dust avoidance technique first.
Qingsongguan is located on the outskirts of the capital, but Li Zhenchang needs to go to the Offering Pavilion to hand in the task first, so the two of them went to the capital first and went straight to the Offering Pavilion. The Offering Pavilion is located in the palace, and with the leadership of Li Zhenchang, it was smooth all the way without encountering the slightest difficulty, which shows the high status of immortal cultivators.
In the enshrinement pavilion, Li Zhenchang handed over the task at will, and the registered waiter did not suspect it, because after Zhang Zhizhong returned to the city, he had already passed the news to Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei had his own means to spread the news to the capital quickly. Then the waiter took out thirty pieces of jade-like things and handed them to Li Zhenchang, Zhang Zhiping could clearly feel the aura contained in them, and he suddenly thought in his heart that this was the currency of the immortal cultivator, the spirit stone. Since this mission involves immortal cultivators, the reward is quite rich, Wu Tieying's strength is not strong, and Li Zhenchang can be regarded as picking up a bargain.
At this time, Li Zhenchang pointed at Zhang Zhiping and said, "This is the disciple I brought back this time, you can register it." โ
Seeing this, the waiter nodded and asked Zhang Zhiping for information such as name, place of origin, and family. Zhang Zhiping looked at Li Zhenchang and saw that he had no objection, so he hesitated for a moment and then spoke. After registering the information, the waiter took out a token, which he took in his hand and looked at it, and then followed Li Zhenchang out of the worship pavilion.
The two walked on the road, Zhang Zhiping was a little absent-minded, Li Zhenchang seemed to know the doubts in his heart, and said: "Aren't you very strange why you want to expose your family background?"
Zhang Zhiping nodded, thought for a while and said, "This should be the imperial court's investigation of the immortal cultivators in the territory, so as to prevent too many immortal cultivators from getting out of control." โ
Li Zhenchang laughed when he heard this: "With the support of my Qingsongmen, the Zhou Dynasty is naturally as stable as a mountain, what do you need to worry about?"
He paused and continued: "Many immortal cultivators will worry about their relatives when they first enter the immortal cultivation realm, and we are not a demon sect to cut off the world, so we naturally have to make arrangements for this. Those scattered cultivators don't say, but for the monks who join the Qingsong Gate, the imperial court will secretly protect his relatives, not to mention the wealthy, but at least they have no worries about food and clothing. A person like you, whose father is an official in the court, will have a smooth sailing career, and after a hundred years, when all your relatives die, the court will gradually relax this support, but at least it will ensure that your family becomes a local wealthy family. โ
Only then did Zhang Zhiping truly realize the status of immortal cultivators in this world, which was really not comparable to mortals, and he had already had this kind of treatment before he had fully joined the Qingsong Sect.
However, he was still a little worried, and said: "I heard that the royal family is also an immortal cultivator family, if it wants to deal with a certain immortal cultivator, will it ยทยทยทยทยทยท?"
Although Zhang Zhiping didn't finish speaking, Li Zhenchang still understood what Zhang Zhiping meant, and said with a proud smile: "Do you know why with the support of Qingsongmen, the Qi Dynasty will be replaced by the Zhou Dynasty?"
Zhang Zhiping was not a stupid person, and he quickly figured out the reason, and then Li Zhenchang also continued: "At the beginning, there was a loose cultivator who killed an immortal cultivator in the royal family of the Qi Dynasty, and then fled without a trace, and the Qi Dynasty was furious and grabbed all his relatives in the mortal country and threatened him to come out. This incident violated the ban of the immortal cultivation world and provoked the intervention of this sect, and the Qi Dynasty would be replaced by the Zhou Dynasty. โ
Then, Li Zhenchang explained in detail to Zhang Zhiping the prohibition of cultivating immortals, mortals who live in the mortal realm and have not cultivated in the body, no one is allowed to slaughter at will, and they must not be involved in the battle of immortal cultivators, and the world will punish the violators; mortals living in the immortal city are protected by the immortal city and cannot be slaughtered in the immortal city.
Zhang Zhiping was relieved when he learned about this ban on cultivating immortals, but Li Zhenchang said again: "My Qingsong Sect is a righteous sect, and several sects in the surrounding five countries abide by this prohibition, but you still have to be careful, some evil demons may not be willing to follow it sometimes." Therefore, if you offend the people of the Demon Dao, you must kill them all to avoid any accidents. โ
Hearing this, he nodded, it seems that the righteous path sect still has some basis for claiming to be the way of doing things for the heavens, which is much better than the naked bullying of the realm under the control of the demon sect.
The two walked and chatted, and soon came to the Qingsong Temple, as if they had crossed a certain dividing line, the air instantly became fresh, and even felt that the aura around them was much richer. Zhang Zhiping looked around, only to see the view of green pines, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, one step at a time, the scenery is excellent.
Li Zhenchang took Zhang Zhiping to a large hall, only to see a Taoist kneeling on the cloud bed, Li Zhenchang bowed respectfully and said: "The disciple has seen the teacher, I wish the teacher eternal happiness and success." Zhang Zhiping hurriedly followed along and saluted, thinking in his heart that this should be the head of Yunming Dao.
Yun Ming had already noticed the arrival of the two, glanced at Zhang Zhiping, and the powerful coercion disappeared in a flash, almost causing Zhang Zhiping to fall directly to the ground, and then heard Yun Ming speak: "The three spiritual roots of water, fire, and earth, you have just reached the realm of the first level of qi cultivation at the age of twelve, and your qualifications are good, and you can directly enter my door when you reach the middle stage of qi training." โ
The sudden surprise made Zhang Zhiping stunned at first, and then excited. However, he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Yun Ming, so he immediately forcibly calmed down his mind and said slowly: "Disciple to meet the teacher." After speaking, he knelt down to worship the teacher.
Yun Ming shook his head, supported Zhang Zhiping with his mana, and said, "When you cultivate to the middle stage of qi refining, you will officially join the Qingsong Sect before you can be regarded as my disciple." Okay, Zhenchang, you go and take him to the Xianyuan Hall to receive the ritual service, and you will teach him for a while. โ
"Disciple Honorable Order. After speaking, Li Zhenchang, who was standing aside, immediately left with Zhang Zhiping.
On the way, Li Zhenchang congratulated Zhang Zhiping and said: "Congratulations to the junior brother for worshipping under the master's door, among the sixteen people in the Xianyuan Hall, the junior brother is still the first person to worship the master's door." โ
Xianyuan Hall is a place for young talents with spiritual roots found in the territory of Zhou Kingdom to cultivate, Zhang Zhiping was happy in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't get carried away at this time, so he hurriedly said: "I'm not a formal disciple of the master yet, and I'm far worse than the senior brother." โ
Li Zhenchang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, yes, he is not a rampant person, and then led Zhang Zhiping to the Xianyuan Palace.
The person in charge of distributing resources in the Immortal Yuan Hall is also Yun Ming's disciple, who is wide and fat, named Zheng Changfa, and has cultivated the tenth layer of qi. When the two came, he was lying leisurely on the Taishi chair, and when he saw the two of them, he stood up leisurely and said, "Oh, Senior Brother Li is back, and he has made a lot of money this time." As he spoke, a pair of squinting eyes revealed a fine light.
Li Zhenchang smiled bitterly when he heard this, this Senior Brother Zheng likes to make small calculations the most, and he calculates the spirit stones in the hands of several disciples under the master's door clearly, and now he is still holding a trade fair, and it is also prosperous, so he can't let him calculate, so he hurriedly said: "Where can I compare to Senior Brother making a fortune every day, this is the master's new disciple, Zhang Zhiping." Little junior brother, this is the second senior brother Zheng Changfa. โ
Zheng Changfa originally didn't care about Zhang Zhiping, thinking that he was an ordinary disciple, but he didn't expect the master to accept him as a personal disciple, it seems that his qualifications are good. So he immediately said with a smile: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhang, okay, okay, I am your second senior brother, and now I am the steward of the Xianyuan Palace, if you need anything in the future, come to me, I will definitely be able to find it for you." โ
Looking at Zheng Changfa, the second senior brother who was chubby and loved to play small abacus, Zhang Zhiping suddenly thought of the well-known person in his previous life, and said with a smile: "Senior brother is polite, I am Zhang Zhiping." โ
Zheng Changfa said enthusiastically: "This is the entry point for you to join the Qingsong Temple, and you can come to me every month in the future to receive one, including a bottle of Tongmai Dan, a bottle of Bigu Dan, and a spirit stone." During this time, you will first concentrate on improving your cultivation, and after you reach the third level of Qi training, there will be a special example that you can receive. With that, he waved his hand and laid these things on the table.
Zhang Zhiping hurriedly thanked him, and when he left, Zheng Changfa gave him three spirit stones with a smile, saying that it was a meeting gift for the first time, Zhang Zhiping couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.
Li Zhenchang led Zhang Zhiping to visit the Qingsong Temple and introduced the current situation of the Qingsong Temple to him. There are not too many people in Qingsong Guan, in addition to the servants, there are mainly five disciples of Yun Ming, from the oldest to the smallest, they are Zhao Wouji, Zheng Changfa, Sun Youwei, Wu Xinming and him, the first three have the cultivation in the late stage of Qi refining, and the last two have also reached the eighth level of Qi refining. It's just that except for Zheng Changfa who stayed in the temple for a long time, the other four often went to complete the tasks of the imperial court, and traveled around the world while earning spirit stones.
In addition, there were sixteen young talents found from all over the Zhou Dynasty in the Immortal Yuan Hall, the longest of them had been here for eight years, and the highest cultivation had reached the fourth level of qi refining. It's just that they are cultivating hard every day, striving to reach the middle stage of qi refining, so that they can join the Qingsong Sect in two years, so they rarely go out. The Qingsongmen garrison mission is a ten-year period, and after two years, Yunming will return to the Qingsongmen, if the cultivation does not reach the middle stage of qi refining, he will not be able to join the Qingsongmen, and then he can only go to the immortal city and become a casual cultivator.
Zhang Zhiping's heart couldn't help but tighten when he heard this, and he immediately understood why Yun Ming would join Qingsongmen as a condition for apprenticeship. Two years is a very tight time, but in the early stage of Qi training, he also used mana to open up the meridians, and as an innate martial artist, he has already opened most of it, and if he practices hard, he can barely meet Yun Ming's requirements. He immediately made up his mind in his heart to first raise his cultivation to the middle stage of Qi refining before talking about other things.
