"Ji!"

With a scream, Yu Xuzi flew into the sky and disappeared into the distant sky.

Chu Chen took the "Guigu Art of War" back to the Immortal Mansion, looking far into the distance, with a faint smile on his face.

As my uncle said, formation is the key to unrivaled military success.

Chu Chen has acquired the military skills and learned magical powers such as [Magic Talisman] and [Throwing Beans to Make Soldiers], but strictly speaking, he is still a half-baked military monk.

Only by being proficient in the art of war, arranging troops, and forming formations successfully can one be called a true military monk.

He could have expected that Master Yuxuzi's uncle would agree to his ruthless request, but the volume [Sun Bin's Eight Formation Methods] in his hand was a real surprise.

Chu Chen was filled with emotion.

I think back when I first met Master Yuxuzi, he was not that easy to talk to. As he showed his talents and rose to prominence, Master Yu became easier to talk to and became more and more amiable.

When they met again this time, he didn't even say anything about the precious core inheritance of the military strategist, but his great uncle took the initiative to give it to him.

Of course, Chu Chen was not slandering Master Yu Xuzi's uncle for being too realistic.

Being a leader of a lineage is not that easy, and being able to do this is already quite fair.

"Huh~ I finally left."

As soon as the person left, a certain kid couldn't wait to fly out of the Pure Yin Treasure Gourd.

Chu Chen laughed dumbly. He understood what the little ghost was thinking, and immediately took out two fragrant cakes from the Bracelet Fairy Mansion and handed them to the little ghost.

"Here~ I'll reward you."

The little ghost took the fragrant cake in a daze.

The senior brother took the initiative to give him the spirit incense. He should have been happy, but for some reason, he felt that something was missing.

It had been waiting for its senior brother to be free for a long time. It had rehearsed in its mind the joyful scene of immediately asking for sex with "dong dong dong" after the senior brother left, and it was eager to give it a try.

I've been waiting for so long, I can't wait in vain.

Thinking of this, the little ghost boy returned the Sixiang Xiangbian to his senior brother and said:

"Senior brother, no, no, I should kowtow first, and you can give me the incense before you come again."

After saying that, there was only a "thump", followed immediately by a continuous "dong dong dong".

"Dong dong dong~"

The wind blew the fallen leaves, and Chu Chen was stunned on the spot.

Good guy, the kid can kowtow to create a sense of ritual!

On the same day, Chu Chen rushed back to Guangling Mountain from Yunzhou City.

As Mr. Mingjing, the prince, said, after the preaching and enlightenment has come to an end, the focus of each Taoist temple will be on cultivating local monk talents. This is the foundation of Yunzhou's future.

It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people.

This is a plan for a thousand years. The work is done in the present time and the achievements will be made in the future.

As soon as they returned to the Taoist Academy, Chu Chen ordered Qingdu and Rouyun, the two deputy mountain chiefs, to summon all the doctors in the academy to teach and prepare to convey Mr. Mingjing's decree to everyone, as well as arrange various matters for the subsequent teaching of Dharma and discipleship.

In the Taoist Council Hall, everyone gathered together.

"Shan Chief, how many golden rays of merit have you received?"

As soon as she sat down at the table, Fairy Rouyun couldn't help but ask.

The Qingdu Taoist priest and all the doctors in the hall stretched their necks and listened intently, their hearts filled with curiosity.

Chu Chen sat in the main seat and smiled:

"Eight Paths!"

"The golden light of eight very good merits is relatively rare."

Fairy Rouyun replied out of habit, but soon she realized something, and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Eight Paths of Merit Golden Light? Chief, you are not mistaken, are you?"

Chu Chen smiled and said nothing.

When everyone in the hall saw this, they had an idea in their minds, and immediately started a heated discussion.

The doctors of the Taoist Academy all came from Xiaojiuzhou, and they all had a certain understanding of the golden light of enlightenment and merit. Their former teacher, the mountain chief, once had the golden light.

"I remember that the old mountain chief of our Taoist temple had been in charge of the Taoist temple for more than ten years, but he only had more than ten or twenty golden merits. However, the mountain chief got eight of them all at once."

"It's not surprising. Our mountain leader is very good at preaching and educating people. This merit is well deserved."

"Congratulations to the chief, congratulations to the chief!"

After some discussion and congratulations, Chu Chen waved his hand, stopped everyone to congratulate and flatter him, and brought the conversation to the main topic:

"Fellow Taoist Qingdu, Taoist Rouyun, how many disciples have our Wanquan Taoist Academy accepted this time?"

"Reporting to the Chief of the Mountain, the Taoist Academy has admitted a total of 862 disciples this time. They are all of good character and have talents in cultivation. Among them there are many good candidates for Taoism."

When Qingdu and Rouyun talked about this, their faces were full of complex expressions, they were both happy and excited, but also a little embarrassed:

"Shan Chief, it seems that our Wanquan Taoist Academy has admitted a bit too many people, and the Ph.D. teaching and accounting treasury are all a little short of money. Alas, we are tight enough when recruiting disciples."

"Yes, the mountain leader lectures well and has many disciples studying under him."

Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh. They were worried about having too many apprentices, but the surrounding Taoist temples might be in dire straits. They had sucked a wave of blood, so they could only pick the ones they had left.

"You don't have to worry about money when you are a doctor. Our Wanquan Taoist Temple's lectures are better than those of all county Taoist temples in eight states. Mr. Mingjing was very happy. I shamelessly asked him for it. The Heavenly Master rewarded us with millions of jade coins. In addition,

In the near future, another group of doctors will be sent to teach."

"Chief Shan, you are really capable."

In Qingdu, Rouyun was extremely surprised. She asked Mr. Mingjing for a reward and got it. No wonder the outside world heard that his mountain chief was appointed by Mr. Mingjing.

Of course, the two of them just had thoughts flashing through their minds without delving into them, but were immersed in joy.

It’s better to work with a boss with a background.

Previously, there were millions of jade coins in Wanquan Taoist Temple's warehouse, and Mr. Mingjing added another million.

In this way, even if Wanquan Taoist Academy recruits too many disciples, the follow-up expenses will still be enough.

After all, the initial cost of practice is not much. The main expense is the elixir to strengthen the bones. These elixirs are low-level goods. Each Taoist disciple is given one regularly, so the cost is not too high.

Two million jade coins are enough, and there is even some leftover to encourage disciples to practice.

When Chu Chen saw that everyone in the palace was happy and satisfied, he felt happy in his heart.

It was related to his own interests, so he was embarrassed to ask for it, but for Wanquan Taoist Temple, that was another matter.

Children who cry need milk, be thick-skinned, need people, and have money.

At that moment, Chu Chen asked about the matter of teaching the Dharma:

"Fellow Taoist Qingdu, Taoist friend Rouyun, can the Taoist academy start teaching the exercises?"

The Taoist Priest of Qingdu cupped his fists and bowed, saying:

"Master Shan, at present, we have begun to teach the basic methods of surrendering and breathing. More than 400 of them have learned the four top-level practices. How many people can actually get started and truly learn the top-level practices? At present,

You can’t see it yet.”

Chu Chen nodded slightly.

The so-called four top skills are exactly the "Dragon and Tiger Skill of Rebirth", "Tai Xuan Yin and Yang Creation Skill", "Xuan Wei Fetal Breathing Skill" and "Thunder Gate Internal Skill" in the skill library given by Xianting.

Any of these four top skills can become the foundation of a large sect.

Now, the Taoist Academy has four branches, and these four methods focus on nourishing essence, refining Qi, preserving spirit, and a thunder method respectively, which can be said to be extremely complete.

Under normal circumstances, as long as you have enough talent in cultivation, there is always a suitable method.

Of course, top-level cultivation methods are not something that ordinary people can practice.

In the first round of screening at the Taoist Academy, 400 people learned the guided breathing method of the top skill. However, in the end, one-tenth of the people got started, which made Chu Chen smile.

As long as you can get started and be placed in a large sect of Immortal Sect, you will be a true disciple, and can compete with senior brother Zhenqing.

After scouring several counties for good candidates, only dozens of senior brothers "Zhen Qing" came out.

From this point of view, Senior Brother Zhenqing’s talent is quite good, and choosing only one among the best would be underestimating oneself.

"Take your time. If you have time, I will explain to them how to practice alchemy."

Chu Chen was quite interested. With more disciples at the "Great Sect True Successor" level, he would be more confident in begging for money and people from Xianting.

The more money the teachers have, the better the quality of the disciples they will recruit, and the more disciples they will have. This will form a virtuous circle, and the Wanquan Taoist Temple will become more and more prosperous, completely engulfing other county Taoist temples.

"Shan Chief, how dare you? With your guidance, I believe our Wanquan Taoist Temple will definitely be among the best."

"Not bad."

There was a burst of joyful laughter in the hall, and soon after, the discussion became relaxed and harmonious.

After about an hour, everyone in the meeting hall dispersed and went about their business.

Chu Chen also planned to pack up and go to Lingxiaoju Cave Mansion, intending to appreciate the golden light of merit in the sea of ​​consciousness.
