Lonely Immortal

Then why no one can practice the Xuandan Heart Sutra anymore? Yang Linchen was quite helpless about this matter, because the Xuandan Heart Sutra was very old, and it seemed to have been passed down from ancient times. The so-called ancient times were said to be a very long time ago. Tianshui Fairyland was not called Tianshui Fairyland but Tianshui Empire. There was a group of giants living in Tianshui Empire, and Tianshui Empire seemed to have some special exile places. The so-called exile places were places where some unforgivable people were exiled. Only after passing Tianshui Empire and crossing the endless sea, could it be considered to be the real ancient holy land.

Of course, Yang Linchen also heard about these things, which were also passed down by the ancestors. The most important thing was naturally not this matter, but because this Xuandan Heart Sutra was something passed down from ancient times, so practicing it was quite demanding, requiring the cultivator to have a strong ancient bloodline. Bloodline is a well-known thing, and each generation is not as good as the previous generation. The giants are slowly disappearing, so how can the ordinary people left behind be compared with the giants?

So gradually no one in Xuandan Sect could practice Xuandan Heart Sutra, and Xuandan Heart Sutra was looted by many sects. Just like Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art, no sect could practice it, so Xuandan Heart Sutra was put aside like a useless immortal method.

But Xuandan Sect's heritage is still there after all. If Xuandan Heart Sutra cannot be practiced, then practice something else. In this way, the incense will not be cut off. After all, the way of alchemy and the way of weapons are relatively easy to pass on. Compared with the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art of Qingxuan Sect, it is definitely much better. Now Qingxuan Sect seems to be able to only practice the immortal method of alchemy passed down by the old Taoist Zhang Wensheng.

This is the origin of Xuandan Sect, and Xuandan Sect now has thousands of disciples. After all, it is the strongest small sect, which is completely different from Qingxuan Sect. The most important thing is that the head of the sect, Gao Wukong, has been practicing in seclusion to prepare for the impact of the Golden Core Realm. This is a big deal. Once Gao Wukong successfully forms a pill, it means that Xuandan Sect has the strength to be promoted to a medium-sized sect!

Zhang Zhiwen has actually seen this head of the sect, that is, the old Gao who sat next to the elder of Wanji Sect during the foundation building competition. The head of the Youqi Sect had to be respectful when he saw him.

Things began to change because of this. After seeing Zhang Zhiwen's performance, Master Gao had a desire to recruit Zhang Zhiwen into Xuandan Sect. Of course, Yang Linchen definitely didn't say this, otherwise it would be too discouraging for Taoist Zhang Wensheng. Because of Zhang Zhiwen and considering Taoist Zhang Wensheng's face, Xuandan Sect decided to merge with Qingxuan Sect. In fact, the so-called merger meant that Xuandan Sect was still Xuandan Sect, and Qingxuan Sect was gone. Of course, Taoist Zhang Wensheng could become an elder of Xuandan Sect and enjoy generous treatment. He could also practice Xuandan Sect's alchemy immortal method. Other disciples of Qingxuan Sect naturally became disciples of Xuandan Sect, and they were treated the same as other disciples, and they also had the first-class Tianshui Order!

Then why did Master Gao take a fancy to Zhang Zhiwen at first sight? Because the number of disciples with the second-level alchemy power in the entire Xuandan Sect can be counted on one hand. Among them, Sect Leader Gao himself has the fourth-level Dao root, Yang Linchen has the fourth-level Dao root, and then Sect Leader Gao’s direct disciple Liu Suifeng has the third-level Dao root. No one else has a Dao root above the third level. Looking at the hundreds of foundation-building cultivators, their Dao roots are quite low. Even Liu Suifeng is over a hundred years old. Yang Linchen is now more than two hundred years old. As for Sect Leader Gao Wukong, he is more than four hundred years old. His Dao root cultivation is already limited. Even if Liu Suifeng works hard for one or two hundred years, he may at most be promoted to the fourth-level Dao root, which is about the same as Yang Linchen.

But Zhang Zhiwen is different. He is very young, there is no doubt about that, because Zhang Zhiwen was only seen in the foundation building competition this year. No matter what, Zhang Zhiwen will not be more than a hundred years old. Yang Linchen now knows that Zhang Zhiwen is only sixteen years old, which is simply amazing. At the age of sixteen, he has a second-level Dao root. After a hundred years, he can easily break through the third level of Dao root. After a hundred years, it should not be difficult, right? Then when he reaches the golden elixir, wouldn’t it be at least five levels of Dao root?

This is still Yang Linchen’s very conservative estimate, because since Zhang Zhiwen can reach the second level of Dao root at the age of sixteen, his future is simply unimaginable. Therefore, Yang Linchen admires the headmaster’s sharp vision very much. He sent him here to recruit Zhang Zhiwen early. As for giving some favors to the old Taoist Zhang Wensheng and the disciples of Qingxuan Sect, what is that compared to recruiting a genius like Zhang Zhiwen? That’s nothing, right?

Of course, Yang Linchen didn't say these things so bluntly, but the old Taoist Zhang Wensheng could hear the meaning of it. It was obvious that Xuandan Sect was coming for Zhang Zhiwen, and Zhang Zhiwen had a promising future. So whether it was for Qingxuan Sect or Zhang Zhiwen, the old Taoist Zhang Wensheng agreed to merge the sects without hesitation, and agreed to cancel the name of Qingxuan Sect, because Qingxuan Sect was not Qingxuan Sect at all. It was originally called Qingjian Sect, but now that the Nine Heavens Qingjian Jue has been lost, what is it called Qingjian Sect? Qingjian Sect has actually long been in name only.

Of course, the old Taoist Zhang Wensheng didn't know that the true disciple of the Nine Heavens Qingjian Jue was sitting next to him. This person was naturally Zhang Zhiwen. Zhang Zhiwen didn't say much, and basically listened to what they said.

His initial hunch was also correct. Xuandan Sect was indeed inherited from a large sect, just like Qingxuan Sect. Otherwise, the etiquette and courtesy of the old Taoist Zhang Wensheng and Yang Linchen when they met was not common. This was not like the attitude of a messy small sect when they met.

As for the Xuandan Heart Sutra of Xuandan Sect, Zhang Zhiwen doesn't care too much. Since it requires ancient blood to practice, Zhang Zhiwen will definitely not be able to practice it, but it does not prevent him from entering Xuandan Sect to practice other alchemy and weapon methods. , which is also very beneficial to him.

He has now established a foundation, and with the lingering ghost of Ling Fei, a Taoist priest, it seems that it is not a wise choice if he does not go to Xuan Dan Sect. If he goes to Xuan Dan Sect, he can still practice immortal magic, and he also wants to improve. In terms of cultivation, now he also needs to refine Fa Yuan Dan. If he goes to Xuan Dan Sect, he may also learn a lot.

But Zhang Zhiwen has more things to consider, because after all, he is a disciple of Qingxuan Sect. Although he has switched to Xuandan Sect, this kind of thing itself is quite uncomfortable. There are always some rumors from others. Of course, Zhang Zhiwen does not He doesn't care what others say, he doesn't care about the inheritance of Qingxuan Sect or Qingjian Sect. None of them have anything to do with him, but people are unpredictable, and it is inevitable that some people will be jealous or dislike him. If he goes to Xuandan Sect, he will be new here, and he will inevitably attract the hostility of some people. Of course, if he doesn’t have the most Okay, but if there is, it is also a troublesome thing. It's not that Zhang Zhiwen is afraid, it's just that he doesn't like to cause trouble.

Therefore, even if the sects are merged, Zhang Zhiwen does not want to be too conspicuous. He just wants to practice and improve his cultivation with peace of mind. He really does not want to get too involved in other things.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen naturally expressed this opinion. When he said this opinion, Yang Linchen was quite surprised, but soon, Yang Linchen laughed and said with great relief: "Senior Brother Head, I really saw you right, Zhiwen Ah, although you are young, you are quite calm in life. This kind of temperament is most suitable for our Xuan Dan Sect's immortal method. Don't worry, I can satisfy you with any request you have. Since you like peace and quiet, it’s not a big problem. I can make the decision on behalf of the sect leader and make you the guardian elder of our sect. You don’t have to do anything at ordinary times, and your monthly salary is at least one It’s a top-grade spiritual stone, so you just need to improve your alchemy and weapon skills, and a cave will be specially arranged for you to practice. What do you think?”

When the old Taoist Zhang Wensheng heard this, his mouth opened wide. Especially with the one hundred mid-grade spiritual stones a month, and the special cave cultivation, the old Taoist Zhang Wensheng almost suspected that he heard it wrong. It was quite incredible.

But Zhang Zhiwen remained silent, because he didn't know how to answer the other party. What he actually meant was that he didn't want to be an elder or a guardian elder. That was simply too conspicuous. He hoped to be an ordinary disciple or something like that. As for Zhang Zhiwen feels that the salary of one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones is not too much, right? With the resources he needs to consume now, what use can one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones be used for?

But since Yang Linchen said this with good intentions, Zhang Zhiwen couldn't refuse immediately, otherwise it would appear that Zhang Zhiwen was a little ignorant. When Yang Linchen saw that Zhang Zhiwen seemed a little embarrassed, Yang Linchen couldn't help but said: "Zhiwen, Do you feel that there is less money? That’s true, our sect is not rich, and it does make you feel a little aggrieved. Of course, you can also do some first-class Tianshui Order tasks, and the rewards are still good.”

"No no..."

Zhang Zhiwen knew that if he didn't speak, the other party might still misunderstand him, so he quickly said, "Actually, I am unknown, so I am not suitable to be an elder protecting the Tao. I just want to be an ordinary disciple, and I can live wherever I want." A room is enough, otherwise you know, Master Yang, that we have just gone there, after all, we are not familiar with the place, and I am young and not able to convince others, so it is better to keep it simple. "

As soon as these words came out, not only the veteran Zhang Wensheng was dumbfounded, but Yang Linchen was also stunned. They never expected that Zhang Zhiwen would be so low-key and humble. This was very inconsistent with his age, but it happened to appear in such a young man. .

But Yang Linchen immediately showed a look of joy, and then said: "I thought you disliked the poverty of our family, but I didn't expect you to be so humble and low-key. Alas, I find more and more that the master's vision is too powerful. Zhiwen, why Although I’m much older than you, I don’t seem to be as open-minded as you in this regard.”

"What the hell, Senior Brother Yang is so complimentary, I really deserve it."

Zhang Zhiwen quickly returned the gift humbly.

At this time, Yang Linchen looked at Zhang Zhiwen with admiration, because Yang Linchen just said some words to bring people closer together. For example, Yang Linchen used the word "me" for the first time, instead of "my way" or "this person", and then he called himself brother. This is undoubtedly Plan to get closer to Zhang Zhiwen, but Zhang Zhiwen felt a little arrogant. After all, Yang Linchen was a master of the ninth level of foundation building, and he was also a monk with three levels of Taoism. Most young people could not resist such flattery, but Zhang Zhiwen did not feel frivolous at all, but remained as stable as an old man. Dog, why don't Yang Linchen admire him so much?

"Haha, okay, Zhiwen, you are optimistic about you. By the way, since we have already negotiated, then it is better to choose the day than to hit the sun. Then you can move to my Xuan Dan Sect today. By the way, the Xuan Dan Sect's sect Gui, you can take a look first, as well as this Xuan Dan Heart Sutra..."

Yang Linchen took out two books and was talking. Halfway through, he suddenly hesitated, and then continued: "This Xuandan Heart Sutra is also given to everyone as a rule. Although it is of no great use, it doesn't hurt to take a look. , you can also refer to it for details.”

After Yang Linchen finished speaking, he handed the two books to Zhang Zhiwen. Obviously, in Yang Linchen's eyes, Zhang Zhiwen was the protagonist, and Taoist Zhang Wensheng was just a side dish. However, Yang Linchen treated Taoist Zhang Wensheng politely and said, "Brother Wensheng, I'll take my leave first. You guys should get ready later. I'll be waiting for you all in Xuandan Sect."

"Okay..." Taoist Zhang Wensheng was overjoyed. In fact, he was also looking forward to joining Xuandan Sect. At least he could become an elder, and he would have more resources in the future. It was better than being in a half-dead sect like Qingxuan Sect. Moreover, the disciples of Qingxuan Sect were also settled, and he could be regarded as having explained to the immortal masters.
