Chapter 157: Third-level Alchemy Furnace

Chen Hongyuan is not young anymore. He has been practicing Taoism for about the same age as Zhang Leqian, but his son is still young. Not only does he have to earn good deeds for his son to redeem the Foundation Building Pills, but he also has to make connections for his son Chen Guangning.

In case Chen Guangning fails to build the foundation, the road ahead will be smoother.

So although Chen Hongyuan is good at refining weapons, he is very kind-hearted.

After receiving Zhang Zhixuan's letter of request, Chen Hongyuan thought carefully for a few days and finally wrote a letter to Zhang Zhixuan, saying that he would decide whether to accept this apprentice after meeting Zhang Sidao.

Although Chen Hongyuan said this, Zhang Zhixuan already knew that this matter was already a certainty.

Within Qingxuan Sect, the inheritance of master-disciple is a very serious matter.

Because of the dragging down of stupid disciples, countless teachers suffered bad luck, and some even lost their lives. This kind of lesson has been learned for a long time, and monks cannot be careless.

Chen Hongyuan is still very strict in recruiting disciples. He may really want to find a successor who can support each other with Chen Guangning in Qingxuan Sect.

In case he is gone, Chen Guangning will appear weak in Qingxuan Sect.

And Zhang Sidao is undoubtedly a good candidate to recruit a disciple. He has Han Yan as his backer in Qingxuan Sect.

Han Yan has a brighter future than Chen Hongyuan on the road.

Moreover, Zhang Sidao is a family monk. With the help of the Zhang family, the chance of establishing the foundation is very high. Having a disciple in the foundation building stage is enough to help Chen Guangning.

Zhang Sideo is not stupid. Although he was a bit vain and out of character when he was young, he is now twenty-three years old and has matured a lot.

According to the family's observations over the years, he is not an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

As long as you take him to Qingxuan Sect and let Chen Hongyuan take a look, you will be very sure of accepting him as a disciple.

Zhang Zhixuan received Chen Hongyuan's letter and immediately took Zhang Sidao to Qingxuan Sect. Zhang Zhixuan doesn't have a flying magic weapon yet, and he can't fly with Zhang Sidao's sword.

With Zhang Sidao dragging them down, the two of them walked for more than three months before arriving at the Qingxuan Sect's mountain gate.

Zhang Zhixuan wrote a letter and sent it to Chen Hongyuan in Qingyangfang City. He wasted more than ten days waiting for Chen Hongyuan to come to the mountain gate to pick them up.

Along the way, Chen Hongyuan carefully observed Zhang Sidao for several days, and only after he had a general understanding of his character did he decide to accept him as his disciple.

Within the Qingxuan Sect, all casual cultivators who join from outside can only start as handyman disciples. The handyman disciples are busy with daily chores and do not have much free time to practice.

After serving as a handyman for fifteen years, the younger brother can be promoted to an outer disciple of Qingxuan Sect. Once he becomes an outer disciple, he has a little more freedom. He can use the sect's good deeds to exchange for Qingxuan Sect's classics. In addition to the benefits and benefits, there is no building. Outside of the elders of the master sect in the basic period, they are almost identical to the inner sect disciples.

In the mortal towns controlled by Qingxuanzong, the treatment is much better. Once a child with three spiritual roots or above enters the mountain gate, he will start as an outer disciple. Only monks with false spiritual roots will become handyman disciples.

Within Qingxuan Sect, once you become a handyman disciple, your path is basically hopeless.

If someone is recommended by a foundation-building monk within the sect, he or she will automatically become an outer disciple. If another foundation-building monk takes over as a disciple, the salary will be raised by another level.

Han Yan was an inner disciple when he first joined Qingxuan Sect, and so was Zhang Sidao. When they first joined Qingxuan Sect, they saved more than ten years compared to ordinary casual cultivators.

After all, the Zhang family is a family that has ancestors of the Zifu. The relationships within the Qingxuan Sect are intricate and complicated. There are some secret relationships that even the clan leader cannot figure out.

The Zhang family is like this, and the Wu family is even worse. Not only do they have five foundation-building monks in the family, but within the Qingxuan Sect, Wu Sixeng has also supported three clansmen to successfully build the foundation for more than a hundred years.

Zhang Zhixuan handed Chen Hongyuan four hundred spirit stones and retrieved the Xuanyin Talisman.

He left Zhang Sidao in Qingyangfang City to help Chen Hongyuan, and then went to Qingxuan Sect's elixir garden to find Han Yan. Because Zhang Zhixuan was an outsider and could not enter the elixir garden at all, he could only ask someone to send a message to Han Yan.

Last time, in order to go to Montenegro to meet Zhang Zhixuan, Han Yan had to ask Li Zigong, the elder of the Zifu in the General Affairs Hall, to extend his service for five years before taking a one-year leave. Now he still has to serve for a long time.

When Zhang Zhixuan saw Han Yan, he found that her hands had become very swollen.

"Last time, because the queen bee laid eggs and had a rather violent personality, I accidentally approached the hive and was attacked by the swarm. Fortunately, I have good cultivation. If the monk who had just established the foundation encountered this scene, I am afraid he would not survive."

Zhang Zhixuan nodded silently. He knew that although the family had raised enough charity for Han Yan, it was almost a kindness to her.

But over the years, her contribution to the family has been very great.

Zhang Zhixuan brought some special products such as spiritual rice, honey, and royal jelly produced by the family to Han Yan, and then said: "This time I came to my aunt, first of all, for Si Dao. The patriarch and I have decided to send Si Dao to Qingxuan Sect. I hope My aunt wrote a letter recommending Sidao to join the sect. I have already talked to Chen Hongyuan and asked Sidao to join his sect. The second is to use Aunt Hanyan's sect token to buy a three-piece from Baoguang Pavilion. "The Alchemy Furnace."

Qingxuan Sect's Baoguang Pavilion is only open to the sect's monks. Even if outsiders have spiritual stones in their hands, they cannot buy the precious magical artifacts in Baoguang Pavilion. The last time Zhang Zhixuan purchased the Spirit Turtle Shield, he used Han Yan's sect token.

However, Zhang Zhixuan did not spend spirit stones last time. He sent the storage bag he picked up from He Changyuan back to Qingxuan Sect, and used Han Yan's sect token to obtain half of He Changyuan's sect merits. With these two thousand merits, he exchanged for two third-level magic tools, one of which was left to Han Yan.

This time, he was not so lucky. He took out fifteen medium-grade spirit stones and gave them to Han Yan, asking her to exchange for sect merits and go to Baoguang Pavilion to have a look.

Soon, Han Yan spent three hundred spirit stones and eighteen hundred merits to exchange for a third-level middle-grade alchemy furnace from Baoguang Pavilion.

This alchemy furnace was made of Xuanyang copper and was called Xuanyang Furnace. It was the best alchemy furnace in Baoguang Pavilion. Its price was also very expensive, more expensive than the normal third-level upper-grade magic tools.

The Zhang family had a fourth-level alchemy furnace in the past. Their founder, Zhang Tairen, was a fourth-level alchemist.

However, in order to raise resources for his precious son to open up the Purple Mansion, Zhang Tairen had to reluctantly give up his alchemy furnace to the Qingxuan Sect.

Even most of his alchemy inheritance was not left to the family, but left in the Qingxuan Sect in exchange for a large amount of resources.

After Zhang Chuyun opened up the Purple Mansion, he barely persisted for long before he died with a smile on his face.

Since then, the family has not produced a third-level alchemist.

With the recommendation letters from Han Yan and Chen Hongyuan, Zhang Sidao easily became a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect. Soon Chen Hongyuan came forward in person and accepted him as a disciple, becoming an inner sect disciple.

After settling Zhang Sidao and waiting for everything to settle, Zhang Zhixuan said goodbye to Han Yan before sacrificing his flying sword and flying back to the mountain gate.
