Chapter 320: Recruiting a Disciple

Zhang Zhixuan had just arrived in Black Mountain, and Patriarch Jin had already used the Psychic Jade Book to spread the news to Qingxuan Sect that he was about to accept a disciple.

Li Zigong of Qingxuan Sect did not dare to neglect and immediately began to select successors in the sect.

The recruitment of disciples by the Zifu monks is considered a big event in the sect.

Generally speaking, the sect will hold a disciple recruitment ceremony every thirty years to select successors for monks above the Zifu stage.

The relationship between master and disciple is very important among monks. Once the relationship is established, the degree of intimacy is no less than that between father and son.

Having a Zifu cultivator to rely on is also of great benefit to the foundation-building monks, making it easier for them to gain a firm foothold in the sect.

Zhang Zhixuan's conditions for accepting disciples were not very restrictive. In just half a month, more than a hundred monks came to sign up.

These more than a hundred monks are all young and promising people, and among them there are seven monks in the foundation-building stage. This time, there are only three apprentices, so the competition is fierce.

Many of the people who came to sign up had deep connections with the sect. After repeated requests, Li Zigong was so annoyed that he finally dispatched a whale beast ship to send more than a hundred disciples to Montenegro. Let Zhang Zhixuan choose by himself.

After Zhang Zhixuan returned to Montenegro, in just two months, the beast ship came to Montenegro, and a letter from Li Zigong was also delivered with it.

These more than a hundred low-level monks have intricate relationships within the sect. Some of them even have monks from the Zifu period as their backers. Even Li Zigong, the master of the General Affairs Hall, is not willing to offend them easily.

Zhang Zhixuan had joined Qingxuan Sect for more than ten years and was not familiar with the internal relationships within the sect, so he could only ask Han Yan to help straighten out the relationships within the sect.

Han Yan has practiced Taoism in Qingxuan Sect for hundreds of years. Although he devoted most of his time to cultivation, he still has no knowledge of the main relationships within the sect.

She carefully read the list of more than a hundred people, and finally said: "Zhixuan, this Wu Xianlong is a descendant of Senior Wu. His blood relationship is closer to Senior Wu, and he is his great-great-grandson. Senior Wu treated my family back then. Thanks to the grace of Fu Zhao, since Wu Xianlong came to Montenegro today, he must have obtained the permission of Senior Wu. We must not refute his face, so as not to affect the relationship between the two families and make him feel cold. "

The inheritance of the Wu family is older than that of the Zhang family. In the past few hundred years, Taihong Bosi, like Long Rongxian, has been ranked in the line of succession with prosperous skills.

After Wu Siheng joined the Qingxuan Sect, he also had a couple of Taoist monks. However, his wife's path was not smooth and she did not succeed in opening the Zifu. She passed away a few years ago.

Although he gave birth to a son and two daughters, they were both mortals without spiritual roots. On the contrary, there were several children in the generation of great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren who had spiritual roots.

Wu Xianlong is a monk with three spiritual roots. He is only thirty-six years old now and has reached the ninth level of Qi training. Because he has the support of his ancestors, his cultivation path has always been smooth, and he has no shortage of cultivation resources. Even a very precious spiritual object like the Foundation Establishment Pill was a matter of course for him.

Wu Xianlong came to Montenegro to register and had already received Wu Siheng's permission.

Judging from the current momentum, the future of the Zhang family in Heishan is far brighter than that in Yanlaifeng. If Wu Xianlong can worship Zhang Zhixuan, the Wu family will have an extra escape route. Even if Wu Siheng has an accident, the Wu family will still be in the upper echelons of Qingxuan Sect. With a backer, it will not decline easily.

The Wu family has not been developing smoothly in recent years. The old patriarch Wu Xiangjie died in Taihong Mountain. Although Qingxuanzong gave the foundation building pill, Wu Rongcheng, the candidate chosen by the Wu family to take the pill, did not succeed in building the foundation.

After that, Wu Xiangwen died, and Wu Xianghuai also died from the invasion of the fourth-order monsters.

In just thirty years, the Wu family has lost three patriarchs. If Wu Sixeng was not still as stable as a mountain, one can imagine the situation of his family.

After the Monster Rebellion in the Southern Wilderness, Wu Sixeng obtained a fourth-level monster inner elixir, and raised resources with Luo Ziyan, Li Zigong and others to refine a furnace of foundation-building elixir.

This alchemy was relatively successful. Each of the three Zifus was given two Foundation Establishment Pills. Wu Sixeng gave these two Foundation Establishment Pills to the family. In the past ten years, Wu Rongyuan of the Wu family has successfully built the Foundation.

Today, the Wu family has three foundation-building monks in the Qingxuan Sect and three in the Yanlaifeng family. The number of foundation-building monks is the same as the Liu family in Taibai Mountain.

"Besides Wu Xianlong, are there anyone who are closely related to the monks in Zifu?" Zhang Zhixuan continued to ask.

Han Yan chuckled and said: "The only one is Li Xuancheng. This person is a member of Li Zigong's clan, and his blood relationship is relatively distant. The Li family has Li Zigong Fu Zhao, and he has gotten many good jobs within the sect, but Although they have enough resources to practice, the monks of the Li family are not very successful. Currently, there are only two monks in the foundation building stage. Li Xuancheng is sixty-three years old, and his cultivation level has reached the first level of foundation building. He is actually very good. Gong likes it.”

After hearing this, Zhang Zhixuan thought to himself: "This is an obvious nail in the coffin. No matter how nice I am to this person, I'm afraid others will also fall in love with Li Zigong."

"If this person is over sixty, we will not consider it. Just take a closer look and choose two people." Zhang Zhixuan ruled out Li Xuancheng without hesitation. At the level of the Zhang family, although Li Zigong is equal to Qingxuan Sect Master Door, Zhang Zhixuan also has enough confidence not to give him face.

The Zhang family is rooted in Heishan, and rarely relies on the General Affairs Hall for resources. Even if it has requests from the sect, the Zhang family's Sanzi Mansion can find enough connections within the sect, and there is no need to give Li Zigong too much face.

In the battle of Guiyuan Mountain, Li Zigong originally had some remaining strength but did not rescue Han Yan. This matter had already been secretly remembered by Zhang Zhixuan. After this incident, cracks began to appear in the relationship between the two parties.

Although the three purple mansion cultivators of the Zhang family did not directly target Li Zigong due to the sect's rules and regulations, it was impossible to expect them to show much mercy to Li Zigong.

Han Yan carefully selected the candidates and soon selected two more. One of them was Feng Jizong, whose grandfather Feng Xiucheng was also an old friend of Zhang Zhixuan.

In the battle of Chaoyin Mountain, Feng Xiucheng also cooperated with Zhang Zhixuan and killed several Hongshan Sect foundation builders. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and was besieged by Hongshan Sect cultivators in the final breakout battle and died on Chaoyin Mountain.

As the descendant of Feng Xiucheng, Feng Jizong has always been treated well in the sect and has never lacked resources for cultivation. He is a second-level spiritual root cultivator. He cultivated to the ninth level of Qi training at the age of 32. He was given the foundation-building pill at the age of 40 and successfully built his foundation two years later. Hearing that Zhang Zhixuan wanted to accept disciples, Feng Jizong also wanted to find a backer, so he came to Heishan in person to sign up.

The last disciple is named Wen Ziqing. His background is the simplest. He was born in an ordinary family under the control of Qingxuan Sect. However, his spiritual roots are very good. He is a cultivator with two spiritual roots, earth and wood. He is only 21 years old now. His cultivation is also the lowest, only the fifth level of Qi training.

This disciple is the one that Hanyan chose for Zhang Zhixuan. Because he has the lowest cultivation, he needs Zhang Zhixuan's strong support on the road. Therefore, under normal circumstances, this third disciple will be the most caring in the future.
