Cao Hongzhi is the chief disciple of Chang He Zhenren.
Although among all the disciples of Master Changhe, he is not the strongest, nor is he the most talented.
Moreover, it has been unable to condense the golden elixir for decades, and the future of Taoism is quite bleak.
However, this high-ranking Zifu has won the trust of Master Changhe. He is not only responsible for managing some important affairs of the Changhe lineage on behalf of the latter, but also supervises and takes care of his junior brothers and sisters.
It's just that Master Chang He's disciples have a tradition of traveling around and training in the lower world, and very few of them stay on the island. Therefore, the only senior brother Wang Chen has seen so far is Cao Hongzhi.
The manor assigned to him by Cao Hongzhi was named Tingtao Village.
This manor is only fifty miles away from Wangye City, which is nothing to the Zifu monks, but it is far away from the hustle and bustle of the Immortal City, and the location is quite advantageous.
The most important thing is that it is built on a coastal cliff, where you can watch the sun rise, the moon set, and the tide rise and fall every day. Although the scale of the manor is not very large, it has complete facilities and an elegant layout.
The spiritual energy is quite abundant!
Wang Chen liked her at first sight.
He has lived in several manors before, but there is no comparison with Tingtao Manor!
"Senior brother is interested."
Cao Hongzhi laughed when he heard this and said, "As long as you like it."
He hesitated for a moment and then said: "But there is a problem here."
Wang Chen was curious: "What's the problem?"
"well."
Cao Hongzhi sighed: "The previous owner of Tingtao Manor was Master's seventeenth disciple Zhao Wuji. He disappeared while exploring the small world three years ago. The sect soul lamp was annihilated, so this manor became vacant.
."
"Junior Brother Wuji has a Taoist companion who has always wanted to listen to Tao Zhuang, but she is a disciple of Master Xuanyuan. How could Master allow her to live on our island!"
Wang Chen suddenly realized: "Are you worried that this Xuanyuan disciple might cause trouble for me?"
"Not possible."
Cao Hongzhi smiled bitterly and said: "Because she once said something, she will definitely cause trouble for you. I just thought of this, but as long as you are on the island, she can't do anything to you."
"Then don't worry about it."
Wang Chen said flatly: "I want to listen to Taozhuang!"
It's not that Wang Chen likes trouble, but he feels that if he dares not live in Tingtao Village because he is worried about others causing trouble, he will definitely lose points with this senior brother and even Master Changhe.
Although Cao Hongzhi did not say it explicitly, he also hinted that there was a conflict between Master Changhe and Master Xuanyuan.
Under such circumstances, if he is afraid of the other disciple, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to his master?
Wang Chen suspected that Cao Hongzhi gave Tingtao Village to him because it was a test of his pulse!
"Um."
Cao Hongzhi showed a satisfied smile: "That's right, we Changhe disciples can bow to any of our fellow disciples, but the Xuanyuan lineage cannot do that!"
Wang Chen saluted and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me."
Cao Hongzhi waved his hand: "It should be."
He took out a shining jade tablet and gave it to Wang Chen: "This is Tingtao Ling, which is used to control all the magic circles in the manor. It is also the certificate of the manor owner. Don't lose it."
"yes."
Wang Chen carefully put away the jade token.
"Junior brother, I won't accompany you if I have something else to do."
Cao Hongzhi finally said: "If you have any questions or encounter any difficulties, just come to me. I usually spend most of my time in Zhouye Peak Taoist Palace. You can also send me a talisman letter."
"When Master comes out of seclusion, you can come to the Dao Palace to listen to the Dharma!"
After sending Cao Hongzhi away, Wang Chen held Tingtao Ling in his hand and walked around the manor that already belonged to him.
Tingtao Village has been vacant for three or four years, but the windows are clear and the house is as new as new. It does not look like it has been unoccupied for a long time. However, the big trees in the courtyard are too leafy and have obviously not been pruned for a long time.
The furniture and furnishings in the room are all complete, and the magic circle protecting the village is operating normally at the lowest level. There are no insects or ants, and there is no filth. I just feel refreshed when I am in it.
It's just that the huge manor didn't even have a single servant or maid, making it look empty and deserted.
Wang Chen released his puppet maid.
This was what Yun Feifei gave to him originally.
Wang Chen originally had two puppets, and the other Taoist soldier was damaged in the battle.
He has a big secret, so he doesn't want to hire servants and maids, and plans to buy a few more puppets to populate the manor.
After exploring inside and out, Wang Chen was even more satisfied with Tingtao Village.
Stayed here that day.
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Chen woke up to the sound of waves.
The West Sea is boundless. Although it is a large lake, like the sea, the tides rise and fall every day, and the waves crashing on the shore are full of spectacles.
To the east of Tingtao Village is a cliff, and there is a solitary peak standing nearby.
After Wang Chen washed up under the service of the puppet attendant, he swept out of the manor with a sword light and immediately landed on the lonely peak.
This dangerous peak is far from comparable to Zhouye Peak. The top of the peak seems to have been flattened, just enough to accommodate a person sitting cross-legged on it.
Wang Chen took out the futon and sat down cross-legged.
Facing east.
The next moment, a golden crow jumped out from the far distant sea of clouds, emitting billions of rays of light, illuminating the Western Sea.
Wang Chen immediately held his breath and swallowed the pill under his tongue.
Then he absorbed a ray of purple energy!
Before he entered the underworld, he received a wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi from Master Chang He.
When we first opened up the health center, we relied on this ray of Hongmeng Purple Qi to complete our daily practice.
Now that we have returned to the world of mountains and seas, it is of course impossible to continue such "luxury".
After all, the value of Hongmeng Purple Qi is not trivial.
Wang Chen concentrated and meditated, activating the innate Five Elements Kung Fu, and a breath of invisible energy circulated endlessly in his body.
Soon I entered a state of practice in which I forget both things and myself.
Until a message suddenly popped up in the field of view.
[Innate Five Elements Skill·Experience +1]
Wang Chen suddenly came back to his senses and felt that his whole body was so comfortable that he felt like he was in heaven.
He called out the Immortal Cultivation Panel, looked at the experience points of his major cultivation techniques, and couldn't help but smile with relief.
According to the current progress of cultivation, Wang Chen will be able to attack the fifth floor of Zifu in another month!
He stood up, waved his sleeves and offered the Yaoguang Flying Sword.
Yu Jian flew to the Xihai Fairy City.
After arriving at his destination, Wang Chen first went to the Zong Affairs Department of the Zongmen's main hall to go through the procedures related to entering the meridian.
Wang Chen is now a disciple of the Changhe lineage. According to the sect's rules, his rank in the system must be promoted by one level, and the soul lantern must be placed in the palace accordingly.
"Congratulations fellow Taoist!"
After completing the formalities for Wang Chen, the deacon of the Zong Affairs Department said with a smile: "If you enter the channel and get promoted, you can expect great success!"
Although his status is not low and his level of cultivation is higher than that of Wang Chen, his words reveal a level of enthusiasm and friendliness that was unprecedented in the past.
This is the most direct change brought to Wang Chen by becoming a disciple of Changhe!
Just in terms of status, Wang Chen, as the direct successor of Jin Dan, has already suppressed 99% of his fellow disciples.
