Wuxiang Sword Sect, Formation Hall Taoist Temple.
Cheng Ling sat on the ground beside Xuan Lingzi's tomb, holding a wine gourd in his hand and drinking happily. At some point, he fell in love with this feeling. He drank the wine brewed from the spirit fruit and talked to the master from time to time, but mostly he was talking and Xuan Lingzi was listening.
Yes, he really felt that Xuan Lingzi could hear him!
"Master, in a few days, I will be the leader of the Wuxiang Sword Sect. I believe you will be very happy! Will I give you a good face?"
"Unfortunately, I still haven't found any trace of those two groups of men. But it's almost time. My intuition tells me that there must be clues within the sect!"
At this time, a voice came from behind and said: "You are at ease, it is in vain that the disciples of the sect are so busy with your succession ceremony that smoke is burning from the soles of their feet."
Cheng Ling turned around and saw Liu Qingyan standing behind him. He said calmly: "Those things should be done by them, why should I, the sect leader, do it myself?"
"Oh, I'm about to become the sect leader, and my temper is really getting worse. What are your plans in the future?"
Cheng Ling had a headache and said, "To be honest, I really haven't thought about it. I shouldn't have to take care of those miscellaneous trivial matters, right?"
Liu Qingyan smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about those things. You just need to remember that you are the sect leader and represent the sect. This is your honor. At the same time, you must shoulder the responsibility. As the sect leader, what do you need to do and what can you do? What are you doing for the sect?”
Cheng Ling nodded and said, "I understand this and I will work hard. Uncle Master is here today, but do you have any advice?"
Liu Qingyan said: "You have a good nature, and your strategy is even better. The sect will not suffer any loss in your hands. Today, I specially say goodbye to you."
"Farewell? Uncle Master, are you leaving?"
"Yes, the sect competition is over and you will succeed as the sect leader. I can leave with peace of mind and look for opportunities for breakthrough!"
Cheng Ling thought for a while, took out a few spiritual fruits from the ring, handed them to her and said, "Uncle Master, these are the spiritual fruits I obtained on the Canglang Sea. They may be helpful to you."
Liu Qingyan took it, but didn't recognize it, so she looked at Cheng Ling questioningly.
Cheng Ling explained: "These are some spiritual fruits I got overseas. You see, this narcissus myogenic fruit can not only provide a large amount of spiritual power, but also cleanse the muscles, veins and bone marrow in the body, making my uncle more beautiful."
"The fairy fruit and white ginseng fruit can also provide a lot of spiritual power, especially the white ginseng fruit, which can also help improve the soul realm and increase the success rate of breakthrough."
Liu Qingyan smiled and said: "You still have such a treasure, which can shorten the time for my breakthrough a lot. You should give this narcissus muscle fruit to Yan Bing, but what does it mean to give it to me?"
Cheng Ling chuckled and said, "Uncle, my master is so handsome that he is worthy of this Narcissus Muscle Fruit."
Liu Qingyan sighed softly and said calmly: "Even if you are so beautiful, who can you show it to? That's all, I accept your offer!"
Cheng Ling secretly cursed that this was the spiritual fruit left by Yanhu to him. It would be of great help in breaking through the transformation into a god. It was like a big cabbage. It was a waste of all his efforts.
Liu Qingyan said again: "After I leave, the sect will be entrusted to you. When I return, you can go to the Famous Sword Academy."
"What kind of place is the Famous Sword Academy?" Cheng Ling asked.
"Famous Sword Academy is the largest monastic institution in the south. Canglan Continent is vast and boundless. The area we are in now is just a drop in the ocean. If you want to go further on the road to monasticism in the future, you must experience the world."
"And Mingjian Academy is a very
A good place, where geniuses gather together, there are rich resources for cultivation, there are many top-notch techniques and swordsmanship, and you can also meet many talented disciples from sects and families. Only by standing at the top of those geniuses can we go to more powerful areas. "
"Uncle Master, you said before that you studied at Famous Sword Academy, why did you leave?"
"The competition there is very fierce. It is inevitable that many disciples and teachers have strong family and sect backgrounds, and their forces are intertwined. Back then, I had no choice but to leave because I offended the teachers in the academy!"
"I see, the Liu family must be very powerful in the academy too!"
"The Liu family is indeed very powerful, but there are also the Xiao family, the Ouyang family, and the Cheng family, which are the four famous families in the academy. However, more powerful forces also exist, such as Yujianmen, Jiuxiao Sect, Wushen Sect, etc., but The most powerful ones are the organizations within the academy.”
Cheng Ling was struck by the thought that the Xiao family was actually one of the four major families in the south. And what’s going on with the academy’s organization?
Liu Qingyan glanced at him and explained: "The academy organization is a group composed of disciples. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and those talented disciples will naturally form an alliance and become a powerful force."
Cheng Ling asked: "What are the cultivation levels of those disciples?"
"Everyone from Nascent Soul to Nascent Soul is an outer disciple. After entering Yuanying, you can become an inner disciple by passing the assessment. Some of the most talented ones may even become the direct disciples of the elders of the academy."
Cheng Ling nodded, finally having a preliminary impression of Famous Sword Academy, so that he could be prepared if he went there in the future.
He asked: "When will uncle prepare to leave?"
"Leave now, I'm afraid you won't be able to attend your succession ceremony!"
Cheng Ling waved his hands and didn't care about this.
Liu Qingyan left.
Five days later, the Wuxiang Sword Sect was filled with joy. Sects and families from thousands of miles around came to celebrate.
Although Cheng Yuan didn't want to see Cheng Ling, he didn't dare to neglect what Xuan Wuxiang told him. The disciples of the sect were welcomed and sent off in an orderly manner.
Soon, representatives of the major families and sects were arranged. Xuan Wuxiang announced in front of the sect leader's hall that Cheng Ling would take over as the sect leader of the Wuxiang Sword Sect.
All the guests were surprised by Cheng Ling's youth and heartily congratulated him. After a series of tedious takeover ceremonies, most of a day later, the handover was finally completed smoothly. At this point, Xuan Wuxiang officially abdicated and became the supreme elder of the sect.
Cheng Ling thought deeply before taking over as the sect leader. Now that he has taken over the title of sect leader, he must at least do something for the sect. He studied swordsmanship diligently, but the disciples of the Sword Hall were withering away day by day.
The reason for this was well known to him. To rebalance the strength of the various halls, it is necessary to suppress the Cheng family and support the other three halls. The Shutang family cannot be the dominant one.
Swordsmanship is what I am good at. Unfortunately, the swordsmanship in Golden Page is too high-end and sensitive, so it cannot be taught easily. Then I would start from the basics and pick out the basic swordsmanship from Qingfeng Swordsmanship and Yunlei Swordsmanship and teach them.
In addition, the strength of the formation hall must also be strengthened. Now his formation level far exceeds that of Xuan Zhenzi. It was more than enough to teach him the experience of the formation, and the strength of the formation was greatly improved in a short period of time.
There is one last big change, which is the establishment of Dan Tang. This is a new hall, which will greatly help the sect become stronger.
For this reason, Cheng Ling did not hesitate to recruit Xi Yandu into the Wuxiang Sword Sect and made her the master of the Dan Hall. Xiyan's strength is in the middle stage of Jindan, which is similar to that of several other hall masters.
, there is nothing wrong with being in charge of the Alchemy Hall. Moreover, her talent in alchemy is very high. After a few months in Luoye City, she actually reached the level of a second-grade alchemist.
Cheng Ling also gave her the alchemy inheritance she had obtained, and prepared a large amount of materials for her, hoping that she could maximize her alchemy level in a short period of time. As for the alchemy fire, we can only open a separate alchemy room and introduce the earth fire for alchemy refining.
He opened the mountain gate again and recruited new disciples to increase the number of people in the formation hall and alchemy hall. As a result, as Cheng Ling's several measures were enacted, the Sword Hall, Formation Hall, and Dan Hall all benefited greatly, and the disciples of the sect also had more choices.
After they returned from the experience, they did not need to hire someone else to refine the elixir, or they had to swallow it alive, so they could not exert the maximum effect of the precious treasure. Moreover, because of Cheng Ling's background, both the Formation Hall and the Alchemy Hall became famous, more disciples joined, and a new balance gradually emerged in the sect's power.
In more than a month, the sect has undergone great changes. Every day, Cheng Ling would practice basic swordsmanship in the square in front of the sect leader's hall. Gradually, some disciples discovered it and started practicing together. Later, more and more people gathered together, becoming a beautiful scenery.
Cheng Ling likes to wear white clothes. Every morning, thousands of disciples dressed in white can be seen practicing swordsmanship in front of the sect master's hall. Over the past month, they all felt their progress and became more enthusiastic about practicing basic swordsmanship.
But when this happened, the disciples of the martial arts hall were unhappy. Originally, the Chen family's decline in power was the opportunity for the martial arts hall to increase in popularity.
However, the new sect leader is very good at formation, sword, and alchemy. With the strong support of these three halls, and the fact that the martial arts hall was originally at odds with the martial arts hall, the reputation of the martial arts hall within the entire Wuxiang Sword Sect was greatly reduced.
If Liu Qingyan hadn't been the top master in the sect and her position was unbreakable, the disciples in the martial arts hall would have almost been reduced to the bottom of the sect.
This situation also caused Cheng Yuan to frequently exchange letters with the Cheng family, and they were in urgent need of strong new troops.
Cheng Ling naturally took these things into account. While improving the strength of the sect, he also always paid attention to the changes in the martial arts hall.
On this day, as soon as he finished practicing, Zhang Hu came. It is said that Zhang Hu gained his favor, was very efficient in doing things, and had excellent qualifications and talents. He finally got Cheng Ling's approval and became an official disciple.
This made him extremely happy. He never thought that one day he would become a disciple of the sect, and he would not just be an ordinary disciple, but a direct disciple of the sect master. For a time, he was incomparable, and the disciples of the sect all respected him.
Cheng Ling also asked him to raise his cultivation level to Foundation Establishment Perfection within one year, otherwise the first disciple of the sect leader would not be able to sit still. He also asked him to monitor the Cheng family's movements and report to him at any time!
Recently, he discovered Cheng Yuan's unusual movements and came to Cheng Ling's secret retreat.
Cheng Ling asked: "How is it? The leader of the sect is doing a great job!"
Zhang Hu smiled flatteringly and said: "If the masters show me more love, I would be able to laugh out loud in my dreams to have the opportunity I have today."
Cheng Ling said: "You were born in a farm family and have a pure nature. Although you have been a shopkeeper in Luoye City for a while, your experience is still shallow. Always remember that there is no unwarranted good in this world, and there is no free pie! "
"Yes, master, I understand!"
"Those disciples only value you because of your status as a teacher. Only when you are strong can you truly gain the respect of others."
"Yes, master!" Zhang Hu bowed his head to accept the instruction.
When Cheng Ling saw him nodding sincerely, he stopped preaching and asked, "If there is anything unusual happening in the Cheng family recently, just tell me!"
