Zhang Heng didn't ask her what she was going to do.
Because there are deacons teaching the Dharma in the outer sect these days, many new disciples have gone to listen.
In order to get a front-row seat, the cheap lady went out early and came back late all day long. He was used to it.
"What did you talk about today?"
Zhang Heng asked without looking back while cutting vegetables.
"Talked about some practical skills of Chunyang Acupuncture."
Zhang Yitong picked up the teapot on the table and drank a few sips mouth to mouth without using a cup.
After drinking most of the pot in one breath, he condensed the Chunyang Needle in the palm of his hand like a treasure, and said with joy: "We outer disciples can't learn many practical spells. If we use this Chunyang Needle well, we can build the foundation."
I didn’t have to change it before..”
Zhang Heng shook his head: "I still suggest you spend your time meditating and practicing Qi. There is no need to spend too much time on Chunyang Acupuncture."
"No matter how good Chunyang Needle is, it is still an entry-level low-level secret technique with worrying potential for growth."
"Instead of spending time on it, it is better to save time on meditating and practicing Qi. When you improve your cultivation and reach the foundation building realm, you can learn better secret techniques."
Zhang Yitong said a little depressed: "I don't know how long it will take to build the foundation state. Moreover, in the outer sect, everyone is learning how to use Chunyang Needle to fight. I don't learn. What if someone comes to trouble me? I can't wait.
Are you going to get beaten?"
Zhang Heng still shook his head: "When you first enter the spiritual path, you should focus on hard training and should not be obsessed with magic. Cui Min likes to be in the limelight. Just let him do it if you have something to do. If you don't cause trouble, no one will name you.
Come challenge you."
Zhang Yitong was a little unhappy.
She admitted that Cui Min was very powerful, but she didn't get it for nothing.
Especially after Zhang Heng refined the best spiritual elixir, those closest to the water got the moon first, and her cultivation level gradually increased.
Right now, in terms of cultivation, except for Cui Min and Yun Lingzhi, they are not much worse than others.
"By the way, let me tell you something serious."
Zhang Heng ignored Zhang Yitong's little thoughts: "This afternoon, Elder Cui from the Alchemy Pavilion came over. He was Cui Min's fourth uncle. He said that he admired my alchemy skills and wanted to accept me as a disciple."
Upon hearing this.
Zhang Yitong's eyes lit up: "This is a good thing, do you agree?"
"Promise."
Zhang Heng nodded in recognition, and then added: "The other party did not accept me as a disciple for nothing. In the future, the Cui family will have the first right to purchase the elixirs I refine. In this way, I can be regarded as half of the Cui family.
It’s your own alchemy master.”
Zhang Yitong looked a little unhappy: "Doesn't that mean you have lost your freedom?"
"It can't be calculated like this."
Zhang Heng explained: "Now that I am weak, the initiative is in the hands of others, and there is no room for bargaining."
"When I gain a certain level of strength, these conditions will change again, becoming more relaxed."
"And the word freedom is relative."
"What is freedom and what is not freedom?"
"I am affiliated with Elder Cui. There are probably not many people in the Immortal Sect who would dare to cause trouble for me."
"If I don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, even the deacons and the elders will not make things difficult for me. If the sect has dangerous tasks, they will exclude me. This is something no one can ask for."
Zhang Heng is not afraid of being taken advantage of.
The use is mutual. While suppressing his value, the Cui family will also provide him with help and shelter.
From now on, it depends on who develops faster.
It's like working part-time. You are an employee at the beginning and the boss exploits you.
If you develop fast enough, you can go from an employee to a senior executive, then from a senior executive to a partner, and then kick the boss out and become the boss yourself.
Zhang Heng didn't have that idea.
To put it bluntly, let alone the Cui family, even in the Yaochi Immortal Mansion, he could find a way to give it the surname Zhang.
If outsmarting doesn't work, take by force; if taking by force doesn't work, take by force.
It is always easier to conquer a castle from the inside than from the outside.
One day, he will also be a monk from Yaochi Immortal Mansion. It is impossible for everyone in the Immortal Mansion to oppose him.
Of course, this is just a metaphor.
For now, Zhang Heng has no intention of harming the Cui family or the Yaochi Immortal Mansion.
He didn't ask for much. He just had to read the Immortal Scriptures, practice elixirs, and practice magical methods.
What do you want to do with the control of Yaochi Immortal Mansion?
When you are the leader, when you open your eyes, hundreds of thousands of people are looking at you, waiting for you to feed them.
Zhang Heng found it very hard to feed Zhang Yitong alone. He had to be a father and mother to a group of people. Apart from Nezha and Honghaier, no adult could do such a thing.
"Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng..."
I was chatting with the eldest lady about the Cui family.
Not long after, shouts came from outside the cave.
Zhang Heng listened carefully and found that the voice of the person coming was very familiar.
Finally, when I opened the door of the cave, I saw Liu Wu standing outside with two spiritual fish.
"I heard from my friends in the inner sect that Elder Cui of the Alchemy Pavilion accepted a disciple named Zhang Heng from the outer sect this afternoon. It should be you, right?"
Liu Wu seemed to be asking, but his tone was very affirmative, as if he said don't lie to me.
Zhang Heng has nothing to deceive.
He welcomed Liu Wu in with a smile and said, "You can do it. I have friends in the inner sect. Yes, Elder Cui has accepted me as his disciple this afternoon. You are well-informed."
"It's true!"
Liu Wu was overjoyed: "As soon as I heard the news, I bought a spiritual fish and came to see you. I am here to wish you congratulations."
"That's very polite."
Zhang Heng glanced at the spirit fish.
This is a river fish called Yin Shuang. Because it grows in Yaochi Lake, the fish meat is delicious and contains spiritual energy. It is a great tonic for low-level monks like them.
Although in terms of value it is not as good as the best elixir.
But it is not any worse than ordinary spiritual pills. Liu Wu planted an acre of spiritual rice field, and just by buying these two fish, the land was completely cultivated in half a month.
"It's not that I'm being polite, but you're not what you used to be."
"A direct disciple of Elder Cui of the Alchemy Pavilion and the future master of alchemy of the Immortal Sect."
"Good fellow, we have some friendship. Otherwise, if you let it out, how many inner disciples would want to come and see you."
Liu Wu looked even happier than Zhang Heng, and said happily: "You have become Elder Cui's disciple. The future can no longer be restricted by the outer sect and the inner sect. Even Yun Lingzhi, who has eyes above his head, has to look back eagerly.
He came to visit you so that he could make two more batches of elixirs for him."
Zhang Heng smiled and waved his hand: "If you keep talking, I'll be in high spirits."
Liu Wu didn't care at all.
If he could be accepted as a disciple by the elders of the Immortal Sect, he would be happy to run out naked, let alone floating.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability and can't float even if he wants to.
"Liu Wu."
"There is an old saying in ancient times."
"Making friends is like Meng Chang, I wonder if you have heard of it."
Zhang Heng stopped smiling.
"without..."
Liu Wu shook his head slightly.
"You can look for some allusions to Lord Mengchang. I see that you really like making friends. Maybe you can give it a try."
As the contact time gets longer and longer.
Zhang Heng discovered that Liu Wu had extraordinary talent in dealing with people.
He can make friends with anyone, although many people look down on him and think he is a lackey.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not a skill.
Such people have friends everywhere and are very suitable to be peacemakers.
If Liu Wu takes this route and has someone standing behind him, he can easily gain a foothold in the outer gate or even the inner gate.
"Okay, I'll go back and look for it."
See what Zhang Heng said with caution.
Liu Wu also agreed with a serious face, ready to look back at Mengchangjun's deeds.
When Zhang Heng saw this, he didn't leave him alone.
Just when seeing each other off, she took a wooden box from the cupboard to him and said bluntly: "If you want to be the best in the world, then there is no need. You don't have the blessing of being the best in the world, but this cultivation level is also
You can’t be too weak, you have to stay at the bottom of the first class no matter what.”
Liu Wu's talent is not bad.
Although he is not a genius, he is still top-notch among ordinary people.
If he continues to support me, I should be able to be on the last train of heroes and have a place at the party.
This is already very good.
People who are not in the same circle cannot hang out together.
As far as Cui Min and Yun Lingzhi are concerned, those who can play with them every day either have extraordinary family backgrounds or are also little geniuses themselves.
There are not many people like this in Yaochi Immortal Mansion.
"This is?"
Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Liu Wu was a little undecided.
Zhang Heng told him to relax and said with a smile: "There are three gangs for one hero. I don't like socializing. Maybe one day, I will have to rely on you to build up my reputation."
Liu Wu opened his mouth.
I can't think of what Zhang Heng can do with him.
But in the end, he said nothing and left.
Watching his back.
Zhang Yitong stood leaning against the door and said with a pout, "You are very generous. There are dozens of spiritual pills in the wooden box, right?"
Zhang Heng doesn't think so: "Elixirs are easy to come by, but talents are hard to find. It's hard to say that Liu Wu's future achievements will be higher than Yun Lingzhi's."
"he?"
Zhang Yitong was surprised: "Yun Lingzhi is the number one person in the outer sect. In terms of talent, even Cui Min is not as good as him."
Zhang Heng explained: "Talent is temporary, but character and resilience last a lifetime. What's more, is Liu Wu's talent bad?"
"It's not bad, just not as outstanding as Yun Lingzhi. Among the tens of thousands of new outer disciples, his talent is at least within a hundred."
"And compared with Yun Lingzhi's arrogance, Liu Wu is capable of bending and stretching, and he also knows how to assess the situation."
"One day, Yun Lingzhi will meet an opponent crazier and more talented than him and crush him to death."
"And Liu Wu, with his character, can get along well with anyone in any era."
Yun Lingzhi's talent is very high.
Emotional intelligence and IQ cannot be complimented.
Liu Wu is less talented, but has high EQ and IQ.
Therefore, in Zhang Heng's opinion, Liu Wu may not be worse off than Yun Lingzhi in the future.
What's more.
There may be another opportunity to send a bouquet of flowers to Yun Lingzhi's funeral and say to his woman: "Sister-in-law, my condolences."
When the weather is crazy, it will rain, and when people are crazy, there will be misfortune.
Along the way, Zhang Heng had never seen a monk like Long Aotian who could reach such heights.
Reality is not a novel. People who do things without common sense and without brains can only be rampant for a while. How can they be rampant for a lifetime?
When times come, heaven and earth all work together, and the heroes are not free.
This is the kind of person I'm talking about.
"Zhang Heng..."
"Um?"
"I stood for a whole day listening to lectures, and my legs are so sore."
Zhang Heng: "???"
...
...
Zhang Heng looked helpless.
In his opinion, Zhang Yitong is definitely not the protagonist, at best she is just a supporting actress.
Because she has no brains either.
She didn't listen to anything Zhang Heng said.
It seems like listening to him doesn't show off one's abilities.
What happened?
"Are you angry?"
"No..."
Zhang Heng raised his head.
What met Zhang Yitong's big innocent eyes.
"mean."
The eldest lady sat on the chair holding her legs and pulling on the stockings on her feet.
Zhang Heng looked down.
I found a hole in the stockings at the toes. At this moment, the crystal-clear toes were nodding playfully.
"Does it look good?"
Zhang Yitong stretched out his feet and touched Zhang Heng's knee: "Go and cook quickly, stop thinking so wildly."
Zhang Heng shook his head slightly: "You must have something wrong."
"Duplicity!"
Looking at Zhang Heng's figure.
Zhang Yitong held his chin and smiled: "I don't know what you are thinking yet."
Finished.
He sniffed his nose, then brought his hand to his nose and smelled it.
The face is slightly red.
He went to take a shower calmly.
...
The sun changes and the stars change.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a year since Zhang Heng and his new batch of freshmen joined the Immortal Mansion.
Zhang Heng looked at his own cultivation level, which was at the second level of the Golden Core. He was quite satisfied.
Looking at Zhang Yitong again, he is even more satisfied with the ninth level of Qi training.
And compared to his cultivation, he was more pleased with the progress in alchemy.
On the surface, he is an eighth-level alchemist who can refine elixirs for the Qi refining stage and the foundation building stage.
In fact, he is a sixth-grade alchemist who can even refine elixirs from the Nascent Soul stage.
It's just that he didn't show off.
Because among the freshmen in the same class as him, Ling Yunzhi, who has the highest level of cultivation at the moment, has only just entered the foundation building realm.
There are even fewer people who can make alchemy. There are only a dozen people who have barely obtained the qualification of a ninth-grade alchemist.
Just like that, every one of them is arrogant, followed by dozens of people who are showing off their bad feet.
"Time flies so fast, it's been a year since we started."
"The deacons said that they are going to hold a big competition among the freshmen to verify everyone's progress during the year. Are you ready to participate?"
One year down.
Sixteen-year-old Zhang Yitong turned seventeen.
Because the nutrition keeps up, the youthful atmosphere on my body becomes stronger.
Zhang Heng visually inspected it, and now it should be A+.
"It's pointless if you don't go."
Zhang Heng withdrew his gaze and asked nonchalantly: "Are you planning to participate?"
Zhang Yitong clenched his fists: "After a year of hard training, it's time to show them how powerful I am."
Zhang Heng did not object: "Then go ahead. With your current cultivation level, as long as you don't match Cui Min and Yun Lingzhi, it shouldn't be difficult to get a good ranking."
After thinking about it, he added: "If it's good, I might get into the top ten."
Among tens of thousands of new disciples.
The leaders are still Cui Min and Yun Lingzhi, who are currently in the early stages of foundation building.
Following closely behind are dozens of ninth-level qi-training monks like Zhang Yitong, who are considered the first echelon under the apex.
Liu Wu was also among them.
Moreover, he entered the ninth level of Qi training earlier than Zhang Yitong.
It's a pity that all the money Liu Wu earned was used to buy elixirs, and he didn't have any powerful magic weapons.
Unlike Zhang Yitong, Zhang Heng sold the refined elixir to the Cui family and received a large amount of money every month.
With his feeding and support, Zhang Yitong was equipped with magic weapons from head to toe. Except for Cui Min and Yun Lingzhi, it was a 50-50 match against anyone else.
"Just wait."
"The third place must be mine."
Zhang Yitong went there with confidence.
The result is sad.
In the second group promotion match, I met Cui Min and was beaten to a disgrace.
In the seventh game, I met Yun Lingzhi again. I didn't even see what the opponent's magic weapon looked like, and he was forcefully forced off the ring.
Ten games down.
Two defeats, seven wins and one draw.
If you don’t get into the first hundred, you will fail halfway through starting a business.
Went all the way back.
Entered the cave.
Zhang Heng only glanced at him and said nothing.
Zhang Yitong cried aggrievedly.
What a pity.
People's sadness is not the same.
Zhang Yitong cried more and more.
Zhang Hengyue was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The three lights are here, the heaven and the earth have not fallen, why are you crying?"
"It's not you who loses."
Being laughed at by Zhang Heng, Zhang Yitong felt even more aggrieved: "Within five moves and without even seeing the magic weapon, I was defeated by Cui Min and Yun Lingzhi."
Zhang Heng consoled him: "It's not that easy to fight over the steps."
"Cui Min and Yun Lingzhi arrived at the Foundation Establishment Realm half a month ago and practiced new secret techniques and exercises. Whether it is the quality of the magic power or the explosive power of the exercises, they are not comparable to you. This
That is to say, in the arena competition, if it is a life and death fight, I am afraid that within three moves, no, one move can kill you."
This is the truth.
But Zhang Yitong was feeling aggrieved at the moment. When he saw that Zhang Heng not only refused to speak up for him, but also went out of his way to exaggerate how powerful his opponent was, his tears were like beads with broken strings, and he couldn't stop talking.
"Don't cry, don't cry."
Zhang Heng comforted him twice and took out a pill bottle from his arms: "What do you think this is?"
"What?" Zhang Yitong looked at him with rainy eyes.
"Foundation Pill..."
Zhang Heng sighed: "Normal cultivators have bottlenecks at every level, and this Foundation Establishment Pill was created to break through the bottleneck from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Speaking of this, Zhang Heng hesitated slightly: "Just think that I invented this elixir. It's not an exaggeration to say so."
Zhang Yitong turned from crying into joy.
Zhang Heng threw the elixir to her and said in a deep voice: "This elixir is of great significance. You can just take it. Don't publicize it to the outside world for the time being. It's not the time for it to be born yet."
Zhang Yitong nodded like he was pecking rice.
Then, holding the elixir bottle and pretending to be fierce, he said with bared teeth and claws: "Brother, just wait. When I break through to the foundation building stage, I can protect you from being bullied."
Zhang Heng was speechless.
A dead duck has a tough mouth.
If Zhang Heng had relied on her for protection, he would have been bullied to death long ago.
Fortunately, Zhang Heng is not a pushover.
Looking at the eldest lady who wanted to avenge her shame, the old god said: "I heard from Elder Cui that a secret realm will be opened in the outer gate. This secret realm can only be passed by monks with a golden elixir or below. There may be something inside
If you have a treasure that has the ability to change, I will just accompany you when the time comes."
Zhang Yitong's eyes lit up: "Brother, you have been mysterious and mysterious all day, and you don't know what you are doing. Please tell me what your current level of cultivation is."
Zhang Heng glanced at her: "Why does this sound so awkward?"
"Just tell me, I'll pinch your feet tonight."
Zhang Yitong asked impatiently.
Zhang Heng thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it from her, so he said vaguely: "The golden elixir is gone."
"Golden elixir?"
Zhang Yitong didn't believe it at first.
Then I didn't know what I thought of, so I kept silent about this matter, and instead said with a frown: "Isn't that secret realm only allowed to be entered by people with Jindan or below?"
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said: "I have a secret method to hide my cultivation. I don't think I can recognize the secret realm. Even if I can, it doesn't matter. The weak point of cultivation will be solved. Compared with the treasures in the secret realm, this little cultivation is not enough."
What the heck."
"Is your cultivation useless?"
Zhang Yitong burst into tears and was so moved.
After all, with Zhang Heng's qualifications, there is no need for treasures that can change his qualifications.
"Don't cry."
Seeing that Zhang Yitong was about to cry again, Zhang Heng quickly stopped: "It's really nothing. It's just a fall from the golden elixir to foundation building perfection. I'll be back in a few days."
