After all the nine direct disciples gave instructions, Cheng Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was quiet now. If they wanted to digest it all, it would take at least more than a month. During this time, no one would disturb them.
There were still ten days left before the disciple recruitment ceremony, so he planned to understand the artistic conception of Yang. The next day, I went directly to the Enlightenment Tower and devoted myself to enlightenment.
Jiang Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly. The third senior brother was really a cultivator. He hardly stopped for a moment and had no interest in the trivial matters and power of the sect. No matter what, he is always the disciple appointed by his master to manage the mountain, so he should take more care of him. After all, he is still in his profession and he is familiar with it.
Cheng Ling immersed himself in practice, and on the tenth day, he finally understood the artistic conception of Yang. He stopped and did not continue to comprehend. Instead, he returned to Ziling Pavilion, called the fifth junior sister Xu Ying and the sixth junior brother Chen Yong, and rushed out of the mountain gate.
The Wuji Sect is so powerful that the disciple recruitment ceremony is held every three years, and thousands of monks come here every time. This kind of recruitment is very broad, whether it is a direct disciple, an inner disciple, a deacon disciple, or an outer disciple.
When Cheng Ling and the others arrived, the square outside the mountain gate was already crowded with people. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and told Xu Ying and Chen Yong to find an open space, put a table and a pot of fragrant tea, and sat down leisurely, not even bothering to deal with the solicitation flags.
Chen Yong couldn't bear it, and said carefully: "Third Senior Brother, are we a little too crude? How about I get a few more conspicuous flags, at least to show some sincerity?"
Cheng Ling said calmly: "Okay then! Remember, you don't need to write anything messy on the flag, just eight characters, Gentleman Immortal Emperor on the front and Yunmeng Immortal Emperor on the reverse."
"This..., Master, are you still trying to break through to the Immortal Emperor?"
"Sooner or later, the two Immortal Emperors will be in charge. I don't think these disciples who applied are flocking to it!"
Xu Ying smiled and said: "Third Senior Brother is right. Even if I am a new disciple, if I see two Immortal Emperors sitting in charge, I will be my first choice."
Chen Yong stopped talking nonsense and hurriedly took care of things.
More and more disciples came to participate in the screening. Cheng Ling swept his consciousness and suddenly saw Zhang Hu, Song Yingjie, Yuan Ling, Zhang Chu, Yurou, Dongfang Bai and others crowded together. His expression condensed. Why were there so many here? Man, what is going on?
Among the people, Zhang Chu had the highest cultivation level. After sensing Cheng Ling's eyes, he gave everyone a look, led Zhang Hu around the crowd, and slowly came closer.
"What's going on? Are you all planning to join the Wuji Sect? What about Luochen Pharmaceutical?"
Zhang Chu Chuan said: "Young master, don't worry, Luochen Pharmaceutical has made arrangements, there won't be any trouble, and Mei Aohan and the others will come over in a while."
"Tell me, what are your plans?"
"It's like this. After what happened in Dijiang City, I feel that the power of Luochen Medicine alone is too one-sided. We need to borrow help. If everyone can join the Wuji Sect and worship the Immortal King or even the Immortal Emperor as their teacher, it will be somewhat helpful. .”
"Not only that, except for the Wuji Sect, if the other sects open their gates to recruit disciples, they can also participate. Only by breaking into the major sects in the fairy world and forming a complex chain of interests can the coverage of our intelligence network be The wider it is, the faster it can be.”
Cheng Ling nodded silently. He had to say that this was a good idea, more complete than he imagined. He asked: "Whose idea was it?"
Zhang Chu said: "Part of it is my idea, and part of it is Zhang Hu's suggestion."
"Well, that's right, let's do it this way. But let me make it clear first that Junzifeng's direct disciples are already full, so there is no need to move forward."
Zhang Chu nodded in agreement. Before coming, Zhang Hu told him Cheng Ling's request, but he couldn't understand it for a while. But there is no way, no matter what the boss says, the younger brother can only do as he is told. Now it seems that the quota for direct disciples is full.
Think about it, there are so many immortal kings in the Wuji Sect, there is no need to hang them on a tree, who wants to be inferior to others when they can be their direct disciples! Seeing that Cheng Ling didn't object, he immediately changed his goal and went to find his favorite mountain for assessment.
After burning the incense, Chen Yong carried a big flag and turned around. Cheng Ling smiled lightly, glanced at Chen Yong appreciatively, and said: "Sixth Junior Brother, seeing that you are so strong and domineering, that's what I do, you just carry it. Stand behind me with this flag!"
Chen Yong happily accepted the order, raising the flag high and fluttering in the wind. Not to mention, Chen Yong's cultivation level is not very high, but his appearance is indeed good. He is tall and tall, and with the eight big characters on the flag, he immediately attracted the attention of many monks in the field!
This time, it exploded. Look at the majesty of the man holding the flag, and then look at the words on the flag. The two Immortal Emperors are sitting at the same time. Without saying anything, they chose this mountain to join.
With a "Hoora", the empty space in front of Cheng Ling was suddenly filled by the monks. He smiled lightly and said to Xu Ying: "Fifth Junior Sister, let's get started. Let's assess their qualifications first!"
Xu Ying perked up, took out the instrument for testing spiritual root qualifications from the storage ring, and started taking action.
The faces of the other peaks that came to recruit disciples all changed. This Junzifeng was too arrogant. To recruit disciples, three disciples were sent here, and they didn't know how to keep a low profile at all. It was good for Immortal King Junzi to be promoted to Immortal Emperor, but Immortal King Yunmeng hadn't been promoted yet?
By pulling off the gimmick of the Two Immortal Emperors early, it was clear that he was trying to steal disciples from everyone!
The Junzifeng side was bustling with people, and there were fewer monks surrounding the other peaks. Immortal King Gale snorted coldly and said, "I don't know what it means to indulge in flattery!"
It was Qin Yi who followed Immortal King Gale to recruit disciples on this trip. He had had conflicts with Cheng Ling in the Jiehuo Hall a few years ago. Now that he saw the master's expression was not kind, he even got up on the pole and said, "Master, he It’s Cheng Ling who made his disciples suffer at the hands of the boss last time in the Jiehuo Hall. Now that the disciple recruitment ceremony is causing trouble again, I really don’t take you seriously."
Immortal King Gale snorted coldly, glanced at Qin Yi and said, "So what? Junzifeng has the ability to be domineering."
Qin Yi said: "Even so, Master, you have already taken action in person. Junzifeng only sent three disciples to come forward. They did not greet you and were so high-profile. It is simply unreasonable. How about the disciples step forward and teach them a lesson?"
"What do you want to do? Although you are a disciple, you have already been promoted to Immortal Lord. Your cultivation is not enough."
Qin Yi was startled, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "So what if the Immortal Lord is there? As long as he recruits a few more companions, he won't dare to attack easily."
"Hmm! It sounds reasonable. If you really want to do it, go ahead and do it yourself. Just don't involve your teacher!"
Qin Yi felt happy, knowing that the master had acquiesced and would be his backing at critical moments! He immediately put his head around and looked at the rest of the places where disciples were being recruited. After some deliberation in his mind, he walked towards them.
Not to mention, this boy's character was not very good, but he had a good network of connections. In less than half an hour, he had entangled more than ten direct disciples of the Immortal King's sect and walked straight towards Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling sat there lazily, watching Xu Ying busy there. The testing instruments in his hands are much more high-end than those seen before. Not only can they test the monk's spiritual root attributes, but they can also test their bone age, cultivation level, cultivation time, etc.
Moreover, detailed scales are displayed on it, and the talents and qualifications of each monk who comes forward to test are fully displayed.
Cheng Ling screened them one by one. He didn't care about cultivation level, but paid more attention to bone age and spiritual root qualifications. Generally, only monks who are still young and have full spiritual root qualifications will stay, and the rest will be eliminated.
As a result, those who had practiced longer and had higher realms were eliminated. They were frustrated and criticized Junzifeng's actions.
Cheng Ling naturally has his own ideas. Now that the number of direct disciples in the peak is full, it stands to reason that those with high cultivation levels should be selected without spending too much resources on training them. But he did the opposite, mainly thinking that Jiang Haoyang already had a strong force under his command, and recruiting slightly higher monks would not only increase his power.
Moreover, choosing a disciple like this can be said to be for the long-term plan of the sect. Only monks with good qualifications and young age are recruited. Although it requires a lot of resources in the early stage, it also cultivates their loyalty and a stronger sense of belonging to the sect.
Only by laying a good foundation and accumulating more in the future can a good cycle be formed.
However, more people cannot understand his plan. But who lets him decide everything in Junzifeng? By the time Jiang Haoyang reacted, it was a done deal and he couldn't find anything wrong.
The recruitment of disciples was proceeding slowly. Over there, Qin Yi led a group of sect disciples and squeezed through the crowd without any explanation, directly blocking the monks behind them.
Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, a little frightened. Each of these disciples looked so aggressive in the morning, and they were obviously looking for trouble. She didn't dare to say a word at all, but looked at Cheng Ling nervously.
"Hey~! Isn't this Cheng Ling? We haven't seen him for a long time, but he is even more arrogant and domineering!"
Cheng Ling raised his eyelids and saw that it was Qin Yi. He said angrily, "I'm arrogant and domineering, and it's none of your business!"
Qin Yi hesitated and blocked his first sentence. He didn't know how to refute it for a while. After a short pause, he could only change the subject and said: "That's not what you are saying. Today, the peak masters of each peak personally attend the disciple recruitment ceremony, just to recruit extremely qualified disciples and add vocal power to the sect."
"But your Junzifeng is good. You only sent three disciples, and you also resorted to fraud. It is clear that there are no two Immortal Emperors, but you exaggerated. Isn't this misleading the fellow Taoists? It disrupted the disciple recruitment ceremony and left a stigma for the sect. , It’s simply an unforgivable crime!”
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and later he even started spitting. The charges were fabricated one after another, becoming more and more serious. It was as if Cheng Ling and the other two were sinners of the Wuji Sect. They were so heinous that they wanted to be punished as soon as possible.
The more the monks heard, the more horrified they became, and they all looked sideways, looking at Cheng Ling and the other three with unkind expressions.
Cheng Ling remained calm, but his eyes gradually became cold. This guy can do it! In troubled times, he would definitely be the leader of the rebellion. This person must not be left here. If we find an opportunity, we will kill him!
