Chapter 661: Accepting a Disciple

Chen Qingyun opened the communication talisman and saw that it was a message from Liu Zhilan.

Liu Zhilan informed in the message that she would start to recruit disciples in the next two months, and she could bring Chen Nianwei to Lingbao Mountain.

There were two other candidates for disciples, and she hoped that Chen Qingyun could give some suggestions.

She was willing to let Chen Qingyun participate in such a big event as recruiting disciples and listen to suggestions.

"Little girl Nianwei's fortune has come."

Chen Qingyun smiled slightly, set up the sword light and flew to Lingjian Island.

With the speed of the golden elixir cultivator's escape light, he quickly arrived at the family and met Chen Xianming.

He told the old patriarch about this, and the old patriarch couldn't help laughing.

"Elder Liu is going to accept a disciple. Good news, good news."

"You mentioned it to me before, and I also asked Nianwei about it. She is very happy and sensible. Now we can take her directly to Lingbao Mountain. Everything is ready."

"Is Nianwei still in Heiyafang Market?"

"Yes."

That day, Chen Qingyun and Chen Xianming found several family elders and told them about this matter. They also went to Lingxi County to meet Chen Nianwei's parents.

The little girl's parents are authentic rural people. They are simple and hardworking. Every year, they receive gold, silver, jewelry, and various delicacies from mountains and seas from Chen Nianwei, and live a rich life.

When they learned that Chen Nianwei was going to join the sect, the two elders were very happy from the bottom of their hearts and excitedly sent their blessings.

Chen Nianwei's family was informed, and in the afternoon, Chen Qingyun flew to Heiyafang Market and took Chen Nianwei to Lingbao Mountain.

In Liu Zhilan's cave, Chen Nianwei stood quietly. He knew what to do next, and he just needed to wait patiently.

Chen Nianwei, the most accomplished talisman maker in the Chen family, is Chen Qingyun's niece. She is quiet, well-behaved, sensible and obedient, and is very much loved by Liu Zhilan.

On the way here, Chen Qingyun had already told her that there were two more people who would become Liu Zhilan's disciples and would be her junior brothers and sisters.

The identity of the chief disciple has already been decided for her.

There were no outsiders here, and Liu Zhilan was not shy. She explained the candidates for the disciples she had registered one by one and told Chen Qingyun in detail.

Looking at any sect, it is a big deal for the elders in the sect to accept disciples, which will attract much attention.

Once the master-disciple relationship between cultivators is established, the intimacy is very deep, comparable to that of parents and close relatives.

As a disciple, being able to receive the care of the master is also a lot of benefits. It can avoid many detours in cultivation and it is relatively easier to obtain resources.

Especially for the sect cultivators, with the protection of a senior master, they can gain a firm foothold in the sect.

As a fourth-level weapon refiner and fourth-level talisman maker in Lingbao Mountain, his cultivation has reached the peak of the Purple Mansion, and he can reach the Golden Core Stage within ten years.

Any of Liu Zhilan's achievements alone is enough to attract many disciples from the sect to become her disciples.

In terms of the standard for accepting disciples, the default is to start at the fifth level of Qi Refining, which will give Qi Refining cultivators a chance so that young cultivators with good talents and low cultivation will not be buried.

Many people in Lingbao Mountain heard about the recruitment of disciples this time. There are inevitably some who recommend themselves, and some elders also recommend some younger generations of the sect to Liu Zhilan.

In just two months, Liu Zhilan has more than 130 screening quotas in her hands.

Among them, there are six foundation-building cultivators, and there are many with outstanding talents.

It can be said that most of those who can apply for self-recommendation have some connections in the sect, and they will not be too bad.

Those recommended by the elders have complicated relationships in the sect, and they have elders, deacons and other Purple Mansion cultivators as their backers.

The depth of the relationship was so deep that even Liu Zhilan couldn't understand it.

When accepting a disciple at once, many people with connections were exposed. This is something that every elder will experience when accepting a disciple.

Liu Zhilan was able to take the brunt of it and let Chen Nianwei, a family cultivator, be the eldest disciple. She must have been under some pressure, which was enough to show her feelings and how much she valued Chen Nianwei.

After all, she was from the Liu family, and the family would definitely recommend one or two younger generations for her to choose from. This was inevitable.

In the end, she was able to resolutely give the only candidate for the outer sect disciple to Chen Nianwei. Nianwei's high talent was certainly important.

Here, the relationship that Nianwei was Chen Qingyun's niece was also indispensable.

Chen Qingyun didn't understand the internal network of Lingbao Mountain, which geniuses were worth paying attention to, and which ones were not easy to offend.

After listening carefully for a while, he first asked Liu Zhilan's thoughts, let her choose a few candidates first, and then he would make suggestions as appropriate.

Among the more than 100 people, Liu Zhilan carefully checked and mentioned one person in particular.

"This Xu Zhenyi has a very interesting background. She is from the Xu family. According to the family hierarchy, she is the great-great-granddaughter of the master. She is related to the master and has been in the sect for thirty-three years. She has just established her foundation."

"Although the master did not come forward to ask me to accept this Xu Zhenyi as a disciple, she was able to recommend herself, which probably means that the master wanted her to do so."

Liu Zhilan guessed correctly on this point.

If it were before, if Liu Zhilan was still in the foundation-building stage or the initial stage of the purple mansion, Xu Yourong would have said something to Liu Zhilan and asked her to accept Xu Zhenyi as a disciple.

Now, Liu Zhilan's strength is no less than Xu Yourong's. With this achievement, apart from the master-disciple hierarchy, the two can really sit on equal footing, both of them are elders of the sect.

Xu Yourong is currently embarrassed here. The disciple's cultivation has caught up, but she herself has not yet formed a pill.

In this case, she is naturally embarrassed to ask this question.

It's just that Xu Zhenyi is asked to recommend herself. Whether she can be accepted as a disciple in the future depends entirely on Liu Zhilan's opinion and Xu Zhenyi's luck.

Liu Zhilan saw Xu Yourong's intention at a glance and kept Xu Zhenyi on the candidate list.

Chen Qingyun heard this and did not comment for the time being, and asked: "What kind of spiritual root is this Xu Zhenyi, and how old is she?"

Liu Zhilan said: "She has dual spiritual roots of wood and water, and she is forty-five years old."

Chen Qingyun nodded slightly.

"She has good spiritual roots, a forty-five-year-old foundation-building cultivator, and a good future. Even without Xu Yourong's secret promotion, she is still a candidate for a disciple."

There is no need to consider whether Xu Zhenyi is loyal or not.

Coming from the Xu family, she will definitely focus on the interests of the family and will not offend her own grandmother's disciple.

If she really dares to offend like this, the Xu family will also stop her, and they will be the first to disagree.

"What other candidates do you have your eyes on? Tell me at the same time."

Chen Qingyun did not make any suggestions for the time being and continued to ask.

"Yes." Liu Zhilan nodded slightly and continued, "There are three others, two in the Qi Refining Stage and one in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"The first one is Yang Zhihai, a descendant of the Yang family of Honghu Island. He is currently an outer disciple of the sect and has the eighth level of Qi Refining."

"This Yang Zhihai has simple connections in the sect and has no backers. I don't know much about the Yang family, but since your family has cooperation with them on the white stone mine and they have intermarried, they are included in the recruitment scope."

"Yang Zhihai recommended himself, and probably also complied with the ideas of the Yang family."

"Yes."

Chen Qingyun didn't say much for the time being, and said, "What about the other two?"
