For Lingxian Palace, the loss of thousands of disciples was nothing, but the loss of so many disciples in vain and the loss of three foundation-building experts made the palace owner very angry.
However, for Zhang Liang and the others, it was indeed a blessing in disguise. They were directly promoted to inner disciples without any assessment. From then on, the benefits and benefits were no longer the same.
Zhang Liang followed the large army to Returning Peak and queued up to exchange for identity tokens and inner disciple clothing.
At this moment, more than five hundred people were standing respectfully in the courtyard of Return Peak, and Elder Luo was drinking tea leisurely.
Within a moment, someone came with a sword. Judging from their strength, there was no doubt that they were undergoing a major foundation building overhaul.
Just listening, the visitor smiled and greeted: "Mr. Luo, are you having tea?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Take someone, you can only take three."
Seeing that Elder Luo was a little impatient, the man immediately stopped being polite and said to Zhang Liang and the others: "I am Pang Ran, the core disciple of Shendan Peak. Now I need three people who have the ability to cultivate elixirs, spiritual materials, or are involved in alchemy." Inner disciples, is there any of you willing to come with me? I can teach you the art of alchemy."
"Buzz~"
"What, Shendan Peak, that's a great place. It's said that you can take all kinds of miraculous medicines until you're full."
"No, it is said that the strength of Shendan Peak disciples improves very quickly."
"The Foundation Establishment Major teaches it personally. Is this how inner disciples are treated?"
"..."
Immediately, many people showed signs of surprise. Do you want to do a major overhaul of the foundation and personally teach the art of alchemy? And such good things?
You know, most of the outer sect disciples are just free-range. Occasionally they have special positions or follow special people within the sect. Most of them are in the name of someone or some place, and they are randomly given some relevant skills and spirits. I won't care about the technique anymore.
Therefore, outer sect disciples mostly rely on their own efforts and find ways to make money in exchange for high-level skills and spiritual skills, or accumulate sect contributions to exchange for what they need.
As for the inner disciples, their level and treatment were fully reflected at this moment. Just the fact that he was personally taught the foundation building major cultivation was enough for many outer disciples to be overjoyed.
But when Zhang Liang thought about it, they were not stupid to build a foundation and do major repairs. If they hadn't survived this secret realm and proved themselves, they probably wouldn't have even looked at it.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
I saw a dozen people suddenly walking out of the crowd.
Someone said: "Uncle Pang, I am a first-level mid-level alchemist. I can now refining the first-level mid-level elixir stably."
Someone rushed to speak: "Uncle Pang, I have five years of experience in medicinal field management and planting, and I have cultivated first-class top-grade elixirs."
Someone was not to be outdone: "Uncle Pang, I am born with a keen sense of smell and can identify hundreds of herbs."
"Uncle Pang..."
However, he saw that each of these people strongly recommended him. After everyone finished speaking, Pang Ran glanced at the few people casually, and quickly selected three female cultivators to leave, which made the others feel very sorry.
But soon, two foundation building overhauls came one after another.
"I am Chen Kan, the core disciple of Bailian Peak. I need three disciples with rich experience in weapon refining..."
"I am Zhou Bo, the core disciple of Lingzi Peak. We are currently in need of three core disciples. I think you must first pass the written examination I set..."
"I am Zhang Qiao, the core disciple of Jade Girl Peak, and I have recruited three simple-minded female disciples..."
"I am Bixia Peak..."
To be honest, Zhang Liangzhen didn’t know that there would be so many foundation building overhauls in Lingxian Palace. However, he is also in the foundation building stage at this moment. When he sees these people again, he can roughly judge the strength of these people through their Qi and blood. They are all in the early stage of foundation building. There are currently no strong people in the middle and late stages of foundation building.
Of course, Mr. Luo Zhang does not count. Zhang Liang could roughly feel that its energy and blood were quite powerful, much stronger than the foundation building he had just seen. It was undoubtedly a major overhaul in the later stages of the foundation building.
However, Elder Luo seems to have insufficient energy and blood, probably because he is already old.
Zhang Liang can currently only judge a person's level of strength through Qi and blood, including looking at Qi training disciples.
But he is currently unable to judge the realm through the quality of spiritual energy emanating from each person. It is probably because he is the foundation of the physical body. If he opens up all the muscles and veins in his body, spreads Qi throughout his body, and reaches the state of Qi training and foundation building, he should also be able to judge a person's state through spiritual energy.
Soon, Zhang Liang and his group of more than 500 people were reduced by half.
Moreover, not all of them were strong foundation builders who came to ask for help. There were only 31 foundation builders who came to ask for help.
Some core disciples of Qi Practice Consummation came later, but they were not here to ask for help, but to invite people by name. Obviously, some of these people had a home before. Now they have not been selected by the foundation building overhaul and have returned to their original places, but their status is naturally different.
After a while, when there were only about a hundred people left in the scene, Elder Luo had already opened the roster and began to call names and asked: "Zhao Ming, you had three years of experience in beast control at Spirit Beast Peak, and now Spirit Beast The Crane Valley at Peak One is short of a manager, so go and report there."
"Yes, Elder Luo."
The man looked happy, thinking that this was a good job.
Next to Zhang Liang, Fu Lan whispered: "Brother Zhang, have we missed the opportunity?"
Because until now, Rao Yaoyao has not appeared or sent anyone to pick them up, which makes Fu Lan feel a little uneasy.
Zhang Liang: "Just wait and see what happens!"
Just after Zhang Liang finished speaking, he saw Rao Yaoyao appear on Return Peak with a "swipe" of the ground.
When Elder Luo saw Rao Yaoyao coming, he couldn't help but said: "I, Yaoyao! Come down for a drink?"
"No need, Elder Luo, I'll rush to face the wall. Zhang Liang, Fu Lan, you two are willing to continue to be my disciples?"
Immediately, Zhang Liang and Fu Lan stepped out of the crowd: "Disciple is willing."
"Okay, come with me."
Outside Returning Peak, Rao Yaoyao looked at the two of them.
"Both of you are very good at raising insects, and your own strength is also remarkable. I will give you three choices."
"First, in the Lingxian Palace Insect-Raising Valley, you can learn higher-level insect-raising methods and specialize in insect-raising methods. They are taught by foundation-building insect masters. There is a certain probability of being promoted to the third-level insect master in this life."
"Second, if you choose one of the thirty-six meridians, you can enjoy the third-level spiritual pulse. In addition, I will teach you the best first-level skills and a secret art of fighting. Major in the path of immortality, and rush on top of the foundation. If If you are not yet able to practice Qi to perfection at the age of sixty, you can return to the spiritual island under my name and hold important positions."
"Third, return to Biyou Island, settle in Sunflower Mountain, and enjoy the second-level mid-level spiritual veins. In addition, I will teach you the first-level top-level skills and a secret fighting technique. The three major insect farms on Biyou Island will be yours. One of them is under temporary management, and you can enjoy 10% of the annual profits of the three major insect farms."
Zhang Liang has to say that Rao Yaoyao is really responsible. These three items are rare and very targeted.
The first item is to specialize in insect control and be led by a foundation-building insect control master. This is considered the best path for an insect control master to rise.
The second item, the blessed land of Cave Heaven with third-level spiritual veins, is of great benefit to practice. If they don't want to be an insect master and want to truly reach the heights of immortality, they will definitely choose this. After all, focusing on controlling insects will definitely distract you from your cultivation and make the road more difficult. Moreover, for this second item, Rao Yaoyao even thought of a way out for them.
The third item seems to be the most satisfactory. There is no high-level spiritual veins. The annual net profit of 10% of the three major insect farms is probably less than 20,000 spiritual stones, but the amount is definitely a lot. Moreover, settling in Sunflower Mountain is a symbol of status and represents Rao Yaoyao. Once he returned, he became the earth king of Biyou Island and his status soared.
Of course, the third item is not of much benefit to one's own practice. If you don't expect to build a foundation, it is very good to cultivate your own family in the mortal world.
Zhang Liang knew that this item was mostly a choice given to him by Rao Yaoyao. Because she knew that it would be difficult for her to reach the immortal path with her middle-grade sixth-level spiritual roots.
But as everyone knows, this is exactly what Zhang Liang hopes.
He still has a long lifespan, and with Qi flowing all over his body, it will only be a matter of time before his Qi training strength reaches the level of foundation building. However, after establishing the foundation, the speed of Qi training will inevitably slow down significantly. Therefore, in the next few decades, his focus will be on physical training, that is, on the Thousand Miles Coral Reef.
Therefore, what he needs more is freedom without restraint.
Fu Lan glanced at Zhang Liang and said immediately: "Uncle Rao, I choose the second option."
"Well! Where is Zhang Liang?"
Zhang Liang took a slight breath and said, "Uncle Master, I choose to return to Biyou Island."
As soon as Zhang Liang said this, a look of disappointment flashed in Rao Yaoyao's eyes, but he didn't pay much attention. Everyone has their own ambitions, and the path to immortality is difficult. Even if Zhang Liang chooses the best, he may not be able to build a foundation. But the third item is definitely the most comfortable.
Fu Lan couldn't help but look at Zhang Liang. She thought that Zhang Liang would definitely make the same choice as her, but she didn't expect that Zhang Liang actually chose to return to Biyou Island. Is the pattern not enough?
"good!"
Rao Yaoyao looked at the two of them and said: "There are not many disciples chosen by Rao Yaoyao. They are either talented or tough-willed. You two are both gifted disciples. In the early stage, your progress is rapid, but the further you go, the less talented you are. You can succeed just by having talent. I have given you the opportunity. You have to be no worse than others. Whether you can succeed or not depends on your own personal cultivation."
I saw that Rao Yaoyao alone gave a storage bag and said: "Inner disciples, you can go to Yubi Peak and choose a first-level high-grade skill, and a second-level immortal magic and spiritual skill below. Think about it and take a look. In addition, Zhang Liang, if you choose to settle in Sunflower Mountain, it means that you are a direct descendant of me, and there will be no more contributions from the sect. Therefore, if you want the sect’s contribution, you have to find your own way to get it."
"Yes, thank you uncle for reminding me."
After Rao Yaoyao left, Fu Lan was surprised and said: "Brother Zhang, why did you choose to go back to Biyou Island? Second-level mid-grade spiritual veins are not good for cultivation! And with 10% of the profit from the insect farm, maybe 20,000 souls per year It's not even a stone. Why don't you think about it again while Master Rao hasn't gone to face the wall yet?"
Zhang Liang shook his head: "Miss Fu, my spiritual roots are not as good as yours, and I may not be as good as yours when entering the Immortal Path. Instead of practicing hard for a lifetime, it is better to live a free life. I know what my choice means."
"Alas~"
After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Fu Lan didn't say anything more, but sighed leisurely: "That's true, then I wish Brother Zhang a happy life. Maybe I won't be able to build the foundation after I'm sixty. , I still have to go keep company with Brother Zhang.”
"I hope that Miss Fu's journey to immortality will be smooth, but if that day comes, I will sweep my bed to welcome her."
…
After saying goodbye to Fu Lan, Zhang Liang spent a hundred sect contributions in exchange for a bottle of Yunxian Brewing, and then went straight to Yubi Peak.
On the back of the crane, Zhang Liang opened the storage bag given by Rao Yaoyao, which contained a skill, a secret technique, the large formation flags of Biyou Chongchang and Sansha Chongchang, and the mountain protection formation of Sunflower Mountain. The skill is called "Lingxian Kung" level one, which makes Zhang Liang feel shocked, Lingxian Kung? Lingxian Palace’s subduing technique?
The first level of this skill corresponds to the qi training period, and it is the first level of the best skill. The second level corresponds to the foundation building stage, and is also the second level of top-notch skills. He had seen it on the contribution exchange list at Returning Peak.
The first level of this skill is very rare. If he remembers correctly, this skill is worth 30,000 contributions, which is an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
The second level of Lingxian Kung Fu has a sect contribution of up to 500,000 yuan. Even the foundation building overhaul requires years of hard work and dedication.
"Very good."
Zhang Liang looked at another secret art of fighting, called "Yijian". Yes, the name is called Yijian, and it sounds a bit stylish.
After Zhang Liang took a closer look, he discovered that this technique was actually the first level, and it was also a secret technique that could be promoted. It is said that this technique was understood by later disciples of Lingxian Palace by observing the ancient sword marks.
And this sword mark...
Zhang Liang couldn't help but open his mouth. The sword mark was actually under Yubi Peak, and everyone could observe it.
This made Zhang Liang couldn't help but think. Everyone can observe and learn, doesn't it mean that everyone can learn?
etc!
Zhang Liang suddenly thought of something. Since he could observe it, could he reshape the ancient sword light in the space of the Divine Mirror?
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. He could describe the mysterious world of the World Divine Mirror. He couldn't understand the power that was too strong. But it was precisely this kind of power that was exactly in line with his current control. the best.
Yubi Peak.
After Zhang Liang walked around for a few times, he met the alcoholic Elder Chen and asked him for a small backdoor to change his martial arts into spiritual arts.
Then, Zhang Liang decisively chose Bailianfeng's "Hundred Refinements Divine Weaponry" and "Nine-fold Hammer Technique". In fact, he also wanted to buy a "Fire Refining Tiangang Hand", but his contribution was insufficient and he could not redeem it.
Even without the "Hundred Refining Divine Weapon Technique" and the "Nine-layered Hammer Technique", Zhang Liang could be promoted to a true first-level high-grade weapon refiner within a few years.
However, mastering these two weapon refining methods can enhance the quality of weapons. The forged weapons are truly exquisite demon weapons. The crude embryo forging quick method will also be gradually eliminated by Zhang Liang, which will be of great benefit to the Black Fish Department's weapon iteration.
Even though it is still not as good as the "Water Blade Quicksand Weapon Refining Technique" that Blackfish Wise Man and the others found, it is not complete after all. Moreover, the first-order high-grade demon weapon is suitable for the current Black Fish Department and Black Crow Department.
Moreover, it was not impossible to improve his weapon refining skills. Decades later, after being promoted to the second level, Zhang Liang felt that the problem was not too big.
Under Jade Pen Peak.
Previously, people who came to Yubi Peak had flown directly to the top of the mountain. Zhang Liang had never seen the foot of Yubi Peak.
However, this time Zhang Liang came on a crane and hung about 300 meters in the air. He saw that the lower part of the Yubi Peak mountain was cut open with a sword. The chopped part can almost be described as smooth as a mirror. After cutting it open, part of the mountain tilted sideways, and the remaining mountain looked more like a penholder.
When Zhang Liang saw this scene, his first feeling was shock. Besides shock, he was still shocked.
He had just seen the demonic tree several hundred meters high, and now he saw the terrifying power of slashing a mountain with one sword, and he didn't know how elegant that strong man was back then.
Zhang Lianggang wanted to control the crane to get closer, but the crane made a "yah" sound and refused to go.
"Aren't you going to come closer?"
A hundred meters away from the sword mark, the crane refused to move, so Zhang Liang could only watch it in mid-air for a moment. After being shocked, Zhang Liang could only imagine the power. He had some understanding in his mind, but it was not enough to support what he understood from it.
At this moment, a man passing by Yubi Peak laughed loudly: "Junior brother, aren't you still determined to give up? Is this ancestor Jian Yun so easy to understand?"
Looking from a distance, he saw an older inner sect disciple flying towards him in an ethereal fish.
"I have met this senior brother."
"Hahaha, junior brother, how long have you been observing?"
Zhang Liang: "This is my first time to see it."
"Oh! No wonder."
The man smiled and said: "It makes sense the first time. This is when the ancestor slashed out the Jade Brush Peak with a sword. There are countless disciples in Lingxian Palace, but only seven people in history have understood the charm of this sword. No one has understood it." He is not a stunningly talented person."
"Only seven people realized it?"
"Then you think that our contemporary Palace Master is one of these seven people. He has unparalleled talent and can fight against the two great ancestors of the Golden Pill alone. Junior Brother, I would like to say that for my brother, there are millions of disciples in Lingxian Palace. We meet each other. , it’s fate. Come, come, come, I’ll give you something for my brother.”.biqupai.
"ah?"
"Senior brother, how could this happen?"
Zhang Liangliang's head was agitated. Could it be that he had the chance and looked under the Jade Brush Peak on a whim, and was actually given something as a gift? Is there such a good thing in the world?
However, the boaster took out a plate with his backhand. On the plate, there was a dish of roast chicken that had been prepared. The meat was fragrant and tempting, but Zhang Liang was dumbfounded.
"This... is serious, Ji Yuan!"
"Hahaha~"
Kua Bai laughed loudly and said: "Junior brother, please don't dislike me. Brother, I raise chickens in the Spirit Beast Peak. People give me the nickname Chicken Brother. It is fate that we meet. This is the spiritual chicken I made by myself. I guarantee that you will like it. From now on, junior brother If you become a great person, don’t forget the great connection you have with me, senior brother!”
"Uh...ah...thank you Senior Brother Kuabai."
Zhang Liang was stuffed with a roast chicken for no apparent reason, and his face was full of question marks.
Then he looked at Kua Bai and laughed: "Junior brother, please continue reading. Anyway, Brother Wei goes to deliver chickens every day. I have passed here eight thousand times and I haven't realized anything, but maybe Junior Brother can. Well, Brother Wei is gone!"
"Goodbye, Senior Brother Kuabai."
Zhang Liang lowered his head and looked at the roast chicken in his arms, and murmured: "I have perfected Qi training and the third level of body training. This senior brother is not easy at all!"
Zhang Liang smiled slightly and didn't pay too much attention. Instead, he pulled off a chicken leg and started eating: "Hey, it tastes quite good."
"Yeah~"
Beneath him, the crane screamed twice. Zhang Liang pulled another chicken leg and stuffed it into the crane. The latter was satisfied.
When Zhang Liang finished eating the chicken, he still didn't realize anything. He immediately shook his head. He hadn't even practiced "One Sword" yet, so why did he come to realize this? I'll figure it out later.
…
Two days later.
Zhang Liang returned to Biyou Island and couldn't help feeling a little emotional, thinking that when he first came here, the two insect farm owners were extremely repulsive to him. In the blink of an eye, he became the owner of Sunflower Mountain.
My old friend has passed away, and I am no longer the little fisherman who just arrived here!
After a while.
Black Wind Insect Farm, the farm owner's mansion.
When Zhang Liang appeared again, Yang Xue was shocked at first, and then was extremely surprised: "Master, you...are you back? This is..."
Yang Xue looked at Zhang Liang's inner disciple's clothes and exclaimed: "Master, have you been promoted to an inner disciple of Lingxian Palace?"
"Um!"
Yang Xue couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. Living in Biyou Island, she certainly knew how difficult it was to enter Lingxian Palace. Even the outer disciples are outstanding among ordinary casual cultivators. As for the inner disciples, they are the best among the outer disciples. Those who can become inner disciples must have passed a very strict assessment.
Lingxian Palace came to Biyou Island to quell the chaos with great fanfare, and the three major insect farm owners were recruited. It was obvious that the owner of his own farm had made great contributions to be promoted to the inner disciples.
Zhang Liang said calmly: "Go and inform everyone at the Black Wind Insect Farm that the owner of this farm has something to say."
"Yes, owner."
Yang Xue didn't dare to neglect, after a while.
More than 600 people gathered in the field master's mansion. When they saw Zhang Liang's inner sect disciple's clothes, they all looked happy.
"The owner of the field has indeed become an inner disciple."
"Amazing."
"My Black Wind Insect Farm is about to develop."
"I wonder what the two owners of Sansha Insect Farm and Biyou Insect Farm are like?"
"Are there any conditions for being promoted to an inner disciple?"
"Conditions? Who knows."
Yang Xun shouted quickly: "Stand still for me,"
A large group of people came to the venue owner's house and lined up respectfully, waiting for Zhang Liang to speak.
Just listen to Zhang Liang's long voice: "Shan, become the master of Sunflower Mountain..."
"hiss!"
"What?"
"The Master of Sunflower Mountain? Isn't he more powerful than the Master of the Insect Farm?"
"No, the farm owner is gone, what will happen to our Black Wind Insect Farm?"
"Quiet, shut up."
Yang Youyou scolded everyone, and then everyone shut up.
Zhang Liang snorted softly: "Although I will take over as the owner of Sunflower Mountain, I also have to take care of the owner of the Black Wind Insect Farm. If you have anything important to do in the future, you can go to Sunflower Mountain and leave me the voice transmission spiritual book. .In addition, Yang Xun, Yang Xue..."
"The old slave is here."
"I'm here."
Zhang Liang: "Fu Lan from Biyou Insect Farm will stay in Lingxian Palace, and Luo Sanpang from Sansha Insect Farm has passed away. In the future, these two insect farms will be managed by the owner of this mountain until the new owner." Take office. You two are the right assistants of this mountain master. Later, you will bring some capable people to accompany me to take over the two large insect farms."
"ah?"
"this!"
"Falled?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Yang Xun and Yang Xue couldn't believe their ears. They never expected that they would have the opportunity to temporarily take charge of two top insect farms.
This has nothing to do with strength. With Zhang Liang, the new mountain master, in charge, who dares to be dissatisfied?
However, Yang Xue immediately said: "Chang... Mountain Master, this servant wants to follow the Mountain Master."
Zhang Liang waved his hand: "In the next few decades, we will mainly focus on cultivation, so you won't have to come. At most, two people will be arranged to take care of Sunflower Mountain."
When Yang Xue heard this, she couldn't help but sigh, maybe she was getting older and was no longer the slim girl. However, Zhang Liang was promoted step by step, and his status was very different. It was difficult for him to serve him.
Zhang Liang doesn't care what Yang Xue thinks. He has free time now. In the future, he will mostly be at Qianli Coral Reef. At most, he will occasionally come to handle matters. There is no need for Yang Xue to stay by his side all the time.
Three days later.
After Zhang Liang took care of the affairs of the large and small insect farms, he took office as the master of Sunflower Mountain. He invited the strong men who were in the late stages of Qi training and those who had completed Qi training on Biyou Island, and then announced his retreat for practice.
