Cheng Ling forcibly suppressed the urge to break through. Since Liu Qingyan wanted him to break through after arriving at the Famous Sword Academy, she had her reasons. He could still wait for such a short time.
He stood up, knelt down in front of the bed and said, "Cheng Xueyao, although you are not my biological mother, but for your kindness in raising me for several years, let me kowtow to express my gratitude! I hope you can live a better life in another world! "
After kowtowing, he stood up, left the hut, and walked towards the sect leader's hall.
Returning to the main hall, he issued several orders in succession. Starting from tomorrow, the gate will be opened to recruit disciples and increase the number of disciples in the sect. Chen Cheng's two disciples were expelled, and the number of disciples in the sect dropped by half, and they were in urgent need of replenishment.
He also spent a huge amount of capital to set up several large spirit gathering formations in the sect. The spiritual energy of the entire Wuxiang Sword Sect was ten times stronger than before. The disciples of the sect were practicing faster and with higher enthusiasm. For a time, one disciple after another achieved breakthroughs.
Immediately afterwards, he began to integrate the forces in several halls. A month later there will be a sect competition, the Sword Hall and the Martial Arts Hall, the masters of the two halls will be the first place in the competition. Moreover, he also awarded a large number of elixirs and spiritual stones. He wanted to greatly improve the overall strength of the sect in a short period of time.
As soon as this order came out, the disciples of the sect cheered and were all gearing up to get good results in the competition.
The news spread quickly, and the families and forces surrounding the Wuxiang Sword Sect rushed in one by one, hoping to join the sect. The time for recruiting disciples was forced to be extended, and it was delayed for ten days.
However, the sect is also carefully selected, not just anyone can join, and the assessment of those who apply to join the disciples is more rigorous. Even so, after the recruitment was completed, the number of disciples in the sect exceeded 40,000, which was more than the previous number.
It was really thanks to Cheng Ling that he had improved the cultivation environment of the sect a lot. The elders who accompanied him saw that the spiritual energy in the sect was so rich and they had not planned to let the family members join, so they changed their original intentions and joined.
Cheng Ling also paid great attention to the origins of his disciples. The power of a single family must not be too strong. After recruiting a certain number, it would stop recruiting, otherwise it would fall back to the old ways.
The recruitment of disciples was successfully concluded, and the sect competition began immediately. In this competition, the disciples from the sword hall, martial arts hall, formation hall, and alchemy hall, all four halls, shined brilliantly and all achieved high rankings.
Especially in the sword hall. In the past few months, Cheng Ling has led the disciples in the sword hall to practice swordsmanship every day, and also taught them high-level swordsmanship. He opened up all the libraries in the sword hall, allowing his disciples to choose to practice, but each disciple was only allowed to choose one swordsmanship, so as not to bite off more than he could chew.
Colleagues, get inspiration from Liu Qingyan. The two high-level swordsmanships of Qingfeng Swordsmanship and Yunyin Swordsmanship were improved and put into the library to allow the disciples to practice better.
For a time, the swordsmanship of the disciples of the sword hall improved greatly and developed like a spurt. Seeing the results, Liu Qingyan also opened the library of the magic hall, and kept a few simple spells that she had learned in the tomb to teach them.
As for the advanced magic, it's not that she doesn't want to teach it, but she's afraid that those who learn it won't understand it.
As a result, the martial arts disciples became depressed. The strength of the disciples of the sword hall and the martial arts hall has been advancing rapidly, and the Dan hall and the formation hall are not good at fighting, but they are gradually becoming stronger. Only Wu Tang lacks a strong inheritance.
Song Hanyu turned his head anxiously. If this continues, Wu Tang will not even be able to recruit disciples, so it will never prosper. He reacted to Cheng Ling and Liu Qingyan more than once, and the disciples' emotions
The fluctuations are so big that I can't hold it back anymore.
Cheng Ling and Liu Qingyan were helpless as they had no martial arts heritage. At the last moment, Xiao Changtian stepped forward and taught some of the martial arts skills he had acquired, and also promised to improve the martial arts practice for the sect.
It was said that Xiao Changtian always thought that Cheng Ling was his son. Cheng Ling did not tell him the truth, but just showed the letter to Liu Qingyan. After reading it, Liu Qingyan fell silent and didn't tell him. She just kept it in her heart.
Xiao Changtian is in good condition now. If the truth is known and something changes, the sect will suffer another turmoil.
Time passed slowly, and soon, five months passed, and there was only one month left before the Mingjian Academy recruited disciples. Cheng Ling also decided to leave the sect and head to the south.
At the foot of Wuxiang Mountain, Liu Qingyan, Xiao Changtian, Xuan Wuxiang, Cheng Ling, Xiyan, Zhang Hu and others arrived together. Today was the day when Cheng Ling left the sect and headed to the south. They came to see him off.
Xi Yan suppressed the tears that burst out of her eyes, and said with a choked voice: "Brother Ling, take care of yourself along the way, and come back to see me when you have time!"
Cheng Ling gently stroked the hair on her forehead and said, "Xiyan, don't think about the past. In my heart, you have always been a pure and good girl. Practice well with Uncle Liu and I will come back to see you. "
Xiyan nodded, said "yes", covered her face and fled back to the mountain. She really couldn't bear to be separated from Cheng Ling. If she stayed any longer, her tears would definitely not stop.
Zhang Hu laughed and said: "Master, don't worry, I will take good care of the eldest lady and never let her suffer any injustice."
Among the old people in Luoye City, only Zhang Hu has always insisted on being called eldest lady. Xi Yan did not stop it, because this represented the days of their common struggle.
Cheng Ling said angrily: "Just because you still want to protect her, your cultivation is no match for Xi Yan. Remember, if I don't reach the late stage of Jindan when I come back, I will be kicked out of the school!"
Zhang Hu's talent is good, but he has the same problem. He is too lazy, occupying the status of the sect leader's disciple, and has no shortage of resources and techniques. It is just that he has too little time to practice, and now he has barely reached the foundation building perfection.
Only now did Cheng Ling feel Xuan Lingzi's expectations and helplessness for him. Thanks to his good patience, he could endure it for a long time. If it were him, he would have beaten Zhang Hu to the ground.
Xiao Changtian looked at Cheng Ling and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he could only keep silent. He knew that Cheng Ling still didn't admit that he was his father, and only hoped to let time change everything.
Liu Qingyan said calmly: "Go ahead. Junior Brother Xuan will take care of the sect's affairs, and I will also pay attention. When you arrive at the Famous Sword Academy, remember to be careful."
Cheng Ling nodded, agreed, and said, "Okay, everyone, let's go back. It's not a matter of life and death. I will be back after a while."
After saying that, he waved his hand, turned around and left!
From the Wuxiang Sword Sect all the way south, tens of thousands of miles away, you can reach the Famous Sword Academy. Cheng Ling did not fly in the sky all the time, but stopped and went. Sometimes he would enter the cities and markets along the way to buy some gadgets. Sometimes, I hire a carriage and sit comfortably on it.
One month is enough. After coming to this world, I only went to Canglang Sea and spent the rest of my time wandering around the sect. It was time to go out and see the world.
Cultivation is not just about practicing hard behind closed doors.
Everything has its way, and only by experiencing all kinds of things can we understand the true meaning of the way. This is also the reason why both the family and the sect encourage disciples to go out for training.
Along the way, Cheng Ling also saw many rare things in this world. Both mortals and monks have their own way of survival. The road is at his feet, and the goal is in front of him. His soul is constantly tempered, and his consciousness and spiritual power have been greatly improved.
More than twenty days later, he found that there were more monks along the road, and all of them were young people in their twenties. And their cultivation levels are not low. Basically in the Golden Core stage, they are all heading in the same direction at the same time. They must all be going to the Famous Sword Academy to participate in the recruitment of disciples.
Just like that, after walking for two more days, there were more people around. Cheng Ling kept moving forward with the flow of people, and soon found a large forest ahead.
He was secretly surprised. Could it be that the academy was built in a forest? Soon, the answer was revealed. Looking ahead from a distance, there is a large stone archway standing, about five feet high and ten feet across. It looks like a high mountain with a formidable atmosphere!
There are four big characters engraved on the archway, which is "Famous Sword Academy!" It is indeed built in the forest. Looking around, there are high mountains and cliffs on both sides. Only the front is covered with fog, making it difficult to see clearly. Even the consciousness is affected, and only the front end of the fog can be seen.
In front of me, there are hundreds of thousands of monks standing in front of the mountain gate, waiting for the mountain gate to open and join the academy. Cheng Ling was secretly surprised. It turned out to be the largest academic institution in the south. Even the Qi Sect had hundreds of thousands of disciples participating in the selection process.
He raised his eyes and looked around, picked out a young man with a simple and honest appearance, and was wearing mysterious clothes and asked: "Brother, when will the recruitment of new disciples of Famous Sword Academy begin?"
The young man glanced at him, his consciousness swept away, and he couldn't see through the cultivation level, so he smiled naively and said: "Fellow Taoist also came to participate in the disciple election, right? My name is Fang Jie, I come from a small family in the south. Please tell me the Taoist friend’s name.”
Cheng Ling secretly thought that this guy looks honest and cautious, so he said, "I don't dare. I'm Cheng Ling, a casual cultivator. I just want to try my luck."
Because of Liu Qingyan, Cheng Ling didn't want others to know that he was from the Wuxiang Sword Sect, but just casually said that he was a casual cultivator.
Fang Jie said: "Given Taoist fellow Taoist's cultivation and age, I'm 80% sure of being admitted, so why should I be humble? It's like this. In half an hour, it will be the time to officially open the mountain and accept disciples."
"Brother Fang won the prize, but I practiced blindly. I don't know how to recruit this disciple. With so many people, I'm afraid it will take a long time."
"Brother Cheng doesn't know something. Although there are many people coming to participate, most of them are unable to enter. The academy has very high requirements for recruiting disciples. Only by passing the three levels of the famous sword can it be possible to enter the academy and become an outer disciple."
"What are the Three Passes of the Famous Sword?"
"The Three Levels of the Famous Sword are the tests that disciples who come to participate must pass. The first level is called Thousands of Mountains and Waters, the second level is called Difficult to Cross by Flying Birds, and the third level is called Fish Jumping Over the Dragon Gate. Only those who can pass these three levels can , only the academy’s deacons can assess your bone age and spiritual roots to select the desired disciples!”
Cheng Ling was startled and asked: "No, you have to pass three levels before entering the assessment. How many of these hundreds of thousands of disciples can pass?"
Fang Jie said calmly: "Based on past experience, less than 30% of them can pass!"
Cheng Ling was horrified. Such strict selection was just to get a quota for the assessment. Can you do it yourself? It seems like it’s not too late to leave now!
