Chapter 149 Zhang Wanzhi: I’ve gone too far this time!
"Zhang Wanzhi? Who is that?"
Some elders from the inner sect who are not concerned with worldly affairs have never heard of this name.
An outer sect elder said: "A genius disciple of the outer sect has recently achieved a top-grade golden elixir at the age of one hundred and one!"
"High-quality golden elixir!"
The elders finally paid attention.
Even among the inner disciples, most people are unable to achieve high-grade golden elixirs.
It is rare for an outer disciple to achieve a high-grade golden elixir.
However, some people still objected: "Even if the difference is only one year, the rules are the rules, and no exceptions can be made for him."
"Yes, this precedent cannot be set."
Elder Xu argued against all opinions: "Rules are dead, people are alive. As elders, one of our responsibilities is to discover and cultivate more talents for the sect, so that the sect can have talents in large numbers and prosper forever. This is also the fundamental reason why our Xianchen Sect can develop step by step to this day and remain at the top of the Immortal Sect for a long time without falling!
"Within the scope of our capabilities, we should try our best not to let any pearl become dusty. Therefore, when promoting talents, we cannot stick to formalities and be limited by rules. Otherwise, wouldn't we be constraining ourselves?"
"Elder Xu makes sense." An inner sect elder stood up and said, "This disciple named Zhang does have potential and is worth cultivating, but I think we can change our approach and try not to do anything that breaks the rules. Once it happens, Head, I can’t stop it from behind.”
"What do you think, Elder He?"
"I think we can find an elder who is willing to accept him as a disciple. This will allow him to receive better teachings without breaking the sect's rules."
"Okay, stop fighting!" An outer sect elder suddenly stood up, "It's pointless for you to argue. I have been in contact with Zhang Wanzhi. You want to admit him to the inner sect, or you want to accept him as a disciple. , and also ask him if he is willing.”
"Can he still refuse?" The elders of the inner sect were all startled.
But I saw that several outer sect elders nodded in unison: "It's really hard to say."
"Not long after Zhang Wanzhi entered the academy, he showed considerable talent in the various arts of cultivating immortals. At that time, several of our elders became interested in talents and wanted to accept him as a disciple, but in the end they were all rejected by him."
The inner sect elders couldn't help but ask: "What's the reason?"
Ordinary disciples always want to become disciples of elders. Like Zhang Wanzhi, this is the first time I have heard of an elder who came to take the initiative and was rejected.
"He bluntly stated that he was only learning the various arts of cultivating immortals out of temporary interest. His main goal was the path to immortality, and he did not want to delay his cultivation just to practice his skills."
The elders are all respectable people, and since the disciples have said so, they will naturally not force anything.
"That's not a lie. If you don't put in the effort in cultivation, you won't be able to form a high-grade golden elixir at the age of 101."
Elder Xu nodded to express his understanding. There are many people like Zhang Wanzhi who can only enter the outer sect because of their qualifications, but their hearts are devoted to the great road. They only want to cultivate immortality and do not want to practice their crafts.
"No wonder!" Zhao Yuansi said suddenly from the side, "I just said why he is stuck at the second level peak of more than a dozen skills. It turns out that he is distracted in his practice. The second to third level is a threshold. If he spends his mind on practice , If you don’t work hard to improve your skills, it’s normal to stop making progress.”
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case. It's also possible that he has already reached the third level of skills, but he just chose to hide it. After all, once he reaches the third level of skills and becomes a worshiper of the outer sect, things will become more complicated."
When everyone heard this, they thought it was really possible.
As an outer sect disciple, as long as you complete a sect mission once a year, you have fulfilled your responsibilities.
But once it becomes an offering...what is an offering?
The sect supports you, and you must also contribute to the sect.
Every year, the sect will assign heavy production tasks to the priests. Although the rewards are considerable, it is also time-consuming.
"He didn't want to become a disciple before because he was afraid of delaying his practice. But this time, whether we let the elders accept disciples or let him enter the inner sect, we are all doing it to help him practice. He should have no reason to refuse." Someone said. analyzed.
"Okay, let's arrange for someone to ask Zhang Wanzhi's opinion first to see if he wants to enter the inner sect or become a disciple. If he wants to enter the inner sect, we can discuss it later." Elder Xu agreed.
…
In the second month after Li Xiuchang hit the preaching list, the number of Daosui reached 20,000!
However, the first and second places on the annual list have both climbed to close to 40,000!
There were still four months to go, but Li Xiuchang did not panic and bombed another wave of sermon posts ten consecutive times.
Li Xiuchang is in a good mood, and good things have happened to him recently.
The first is to accumulate mana. After a long period of hard work, he finally filled up the second Dantian. Now he can focus on the main Dantian.
By the way, he added an inch of mana to the main Dantian, and his cultivation level was successfully raised to the peak of foundation building.
The second thing is that his spiritual cooking skills have finally reached the second level!
Li Xiuchang planned to settle down for a while before signing up for the assessment of the second-level spiritual plant husband and the second-level spiritual chef.
The reason for the second-level spiritual chef assessment was because Li Xiuchang had just broken through to the second level and was afraid that his performance would be abnormal, so he planned to take the test again after a while to be more cautious.
As for the second-level Ling Zhifu assessment, Li Xiuchang went for perfect scores!
With such a good spiritual planting talent, Li Xiuchang couldn't waste it. He planned to make an impact and strive to get the full score reward set by the sect again.
The last piece of good news is that Yin Hun's strength has improved.
Su Qingchun came from behind and caught up with the Shadow Wolf King and Wangcai in cultivation, and was promoted to the mid-second level!
This is also because after he comprehended too many works of saints, his aura surged, and absorbing evil spirits had almost no side effects.
Although the ghost wolf king and Wangcai did not eat as much as Su Qingchun, they always had evil spirits as feed, and their strength increased rapidly, and they were close to the edge of breakthrough.
In addition, the cultivation of the two demon cultivators, Fan Liang and Tang Yan, was also steadily improving, and Fan Liang even stepped into the late stage of the second stage!
Both pigs have the momentum of getting fatter and fatter.
Seeing that Li Xiuchang treated them the same as the members of the Paw Patrol, the two demon cultivators often fed ghosts, and thought that they were completely accepted by Li Xiuchang.
Little did they know that Li Xiuchang had already written the ending for the two in his heart.
Not to mention the strength improvement of the other scattered ghosts, living in the Feng Shui treasure land of Xianchen Sect, with rich spiritual energy and endless work every day, they have been urging them to constantly consume and replenish soul power, which undoubtedly accelerated the speed of their cultivation.
Li Xiuchang was happy, but Zhang Wanzhi was frowning and entangled.
A few days ago, an inner sect elder sent him a message, asking him if he wanted to enter the inner sect to practice.
Zhang Wanzhi's answer was that the competition in the inner sect was fierce and the pressure was too great. He was afraid that he could not adapt, so he would rather stay in the outer sect to practice quietly.
Then, the elder asked him if he was willing to accept an inner sect elder as a disciple.
Zhang Wanzhi was confused. He could not find a good reason to refuse for a while, and he also knew that if he refused again, he would seem a little ungrateful.
So he said he would think about it.
He pulled Motu and Chen Changsheng over and asked them to help him come up with ideas.
Who knew that these two guys looked like they were watching the fun and could not help at all.
Motu sat there without saying a word, like a dull person, only pretending to touch his chin occasionally, but in fact it was to cover up the smile that sometimes couldn't be suppressed.
Chen Changsheng usually has the image of a good and easygoing old man, but this time he rarely mocked Zhang Wanzhi:
"I have told you long ago that yours is not a hidden way. If you were as low-key as me, how could you have such trouble?"
In the past, Zhang Wanzhi always laughed at his hidden way of doing things, calling him an old turtle behind his back, which made Chen Changsheng hate him.
Now that there is a rare opportunity, Chen Changsheng will definitely take the opportunity to say a few more words.
Zhang Wanzhi was not convinced and retorted: "Don't gloat over other people's misfortunes. Yours is not a hidden way, but a turtle way. Sooner or later, there will be problems!"
Zhang Wanzhi has always felt that Chen Changsheng's low-key and dormant set is unreliable, and he has not changed his mind now.
It would be fine if he did not enter the sight of others. After a long time, once someone noticed Chen Changsheng, they would definitely see the clues.
After all, when others compare, they will find that people of the same period as Chen Changsheng are almost dead, only Chen Changsheng is still practicing hard, and he just breaks through when the deadline comes, and he has always stayed away from people, not married and has no children.
This is a problem!
Chen Changsheng chuckled and said nonchalantly: "I am dull and I am not as lucky as Zhang Daoyou. The elders of Xianchen Sect may not look down on my qualifications and will not want to accept me as a disciple."
Zhang Wanzhi was very angry and said angrily: "Be careful or I will let your son out!"
Chen Changsheng's face was slightly proud and restrained, his face changed, and his tone softened a bit: "You are indeed too high-profile, and this day is only a matter of time."
He has always been uncomfortable with Zhang Wanzhi's high-profile behavior, showing off everywhere, and even claiming that he is the real way to act like this.
Zhang Wanzhi also knew that he was a little too pretentious this time.
He said helplessly: "Who knows that the young elders of Xianchen Sect are so creative and suddenly targeted me. It's never been like this before!"
It's not the first time he has acted like this, why did he go wrong this time?
Zhang Wanzhi has his own theory, which is to be low-key in a high-profile way.
In his words, "Chen Changsheng, anyone who knows him will suspect that he has hidden his strength, but who would suspect me, Zhang Wanzhi?"
This is not nonsense. Zhang Wanzhi is so high-profile that other disciples and elders of Xianchen Sect basically don't think he has anything to hide.
So he claimed that his way of doing things was the correct way to open the Gou Dao, and he refused to admit that he just liked to show off.
Motu said in a muffled voice: "The upper-grade golden elixir is too much."
Zhang Wanzhi nodded, he also knew that this was the problem.
If he had restrained himself at that time and only made a middle-grade golden elixir, the elders would not have paid so much attention to him.
It's just that the middle-grade golden elixir is too embarrassing, that's not his style!
"I originally wanted to make a nine-turn golden elixir, but after thinking about it, I decided to tell others that it was only eight turns, and I have already stopped working."
Chen Changsheng walked to sit opposite Mo Tu, picked up the black piece in the chess basket on the table, and dropped it on the blank chessboard, saying:
"It's meaningless to talk about this now, let's think about how to deal with it this time."
Mo Tu glanced at the lonely black piece on the chessboard, got up and left silently, and had no intention of playing chess with Chen Changsheng. He said sparingly: "Choose one of the two."
This means that Zhang Wanzhi should choose between entering the inner gate and becoming a disciple.
Zhang Wanzhi sighed: "If you have to choose one of the two, it's better to become a disciple. After all, inner disciples will also be assigned a master to teach the Tao."
Choosing to enter the inner gate is equivalent to choosing both options.
If you just become a disciple, everything else remains unchanged and the constraints are not that great.
It might even be quite interesting...
