The Way of the Immortal Master

The two masters and apprentices haven't seen each other for a long time, and they talked for most of the night after a long conversation.

Meng Zhang was very satisfied with Niu Dawei's performance in all aspects, so Hao Sheng encouraged him.

In addition, Meng Zhang also made some arrangements before leaving the sect.

At this time, Fang Hanyu, who is retreating in the gate, will come to Jiuqu City after leaving the gate to take over Niu Dawei's position and serve as the elder of Taiyi sect stationed in Jiuqu League.

On the other hand, Niu Dawei returned to the Taiyi Sect, and as the chief disciple and acting head of the sect, he was in charge of all affairs in the sect.

After Niu Dawei returned to Taiyi Gate, he had to complete an important task arranged by Meng Zhang.

In the current world of comprehension, those high-level monks in many sects are not very willing to accept disciples. Unless there are some particularly outstanding juniors who are excellent in all aspects, they will be accepted by them.

The way the entire sect trains disciples is a bit similar to the university Meng Zhang attended in his previous life. The disciples spontaneously choose the direction of their own cultivation, the knowledge they need to learn, and take the initiative to participate in the teachings of the seniors in the sect...

As the leader of the sect, he is actually very willing to see this situation.

Among sects, the master-student relationship is a very solid type of relationship. According to legend, there are many disciples and disciples, and it is easy to form groups and form interest groups and mountain tops. For the management of the sect, it is obviously not a good thing. In some extreme cases, it may even cause sect splits.

Meng Zhang himself didn't think so much, he just didn't want to interfere with the high-ranking monks in this aspect, and let them decide for themselves.

The Taiyi Sect lost many disciples in the last battle with the Sea Clan. Over the years, with the increase of new disciples, the quantity has been greatly compensated, but the quality is far from before.

On the one hand, it lowered the threshold for recruiting disciples, leading to a decline in the quality of disciples. On the other hand, Meng Zhang felt that the Taiyi Sect's system for cultivating disciples needed some improvement.

In the past, all the new disciples who entered the Taiyi Sect, no matter how old they were or what their previous background was, were all thrown into the schools set up by the sect to study for several to ten years.

In the school, they will learn the basic exercises and the basic knowledge needed for various cultivation. Some who are too young or illiterate still need to learn characters.

These disciples are external disciples in name, but they can only be regarded as apprentices in reality.

When they finish their studies in the school and have basic abilities, they can be regarded as barely stepping into the threshold of the realm of comprehension.

At this time, they need to be self-reliant. By completing various sect tasks, they can obtain sect good deeds in exchange for various cultivation resources and exercises.

This set of procedures is followed by most sects in the cultivation world, including the Taiyi sect in its heyday, and the Yuanshen sects in the Jiuqu League. There is not much difference.

The improvement Meng Zhang wants to make is to allow the high-level monks in the sect to invest more time and energy in cultivating the younger generation.

According to Meng Zhang's idea, all the monks who have cultivated at the middle stage of foundation establishment and above in the back sect must accept the disciples in the sect as apprentices, as long as there are no special circumstances.

A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage can take disciples at the Qi Refining Stage as apprentices, and a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage can take disciples at the Foundation Establishment Stage as apprentices...

Whether it is an outer disciple or an inner disciple, worshiping a master does not change their identity and status. But in all aspects, you can get the care of the master and get more pointers.

Of course, these high-ranking monks accepting apprentices is not only a compulsory requirement of the sect, but they can also obtain good deeds from the sect. The more excellent the disciples are, the more benefits they can get.

Meng Zhang entrusted this task to Niu Dawei, not only as a test for him, but also for him to get in touch with all the high-ranking monks in the sect, especially those Jindan Daoist in the process of completing the task.

The departure date of the mission was set to be ten days later, and Meng Zhang still had a lot of time.

During his stay in Jiuqu City, apart from communicating with Niu Dawei and instructing him on his cultivation, he just wandered around and got to know Jiuqu City personally.

Before leaving, Meng Zhang visited Zhenjun Jinli again.

Zhenjun Jin Li was busy with affairs, so he didn't chat with Meng Zhang for too long.

However, before parting, she gave Meng Zhang two fake fourth-order talismans for self-defense.

Jinli Zhenjun is not a fourth-rank talisman maker, and his talisman making skills are even more mediocre. Even with the cultivation base of the Yuanshen stage, it is impossible to draw a real fourth-order talisman.

She spent a lot of hard work and precious materials before drawing a few fake fourth-order talismans.

Although the pseudo-fourth-order talisman is of little use in battles at the level of Yuanshen and Zhenjun, it can be of great use if it falls into the hands of Jindan monks. Not only can it threaten Jindan stage monks, but it also has a little bit of power to fight back when facing enemies at the Yuanshen level.

Zhenjun Jin Li refined some of these talismans, which were originally given to Jin Qiao'er for self-defense.

There were just a few left on hand, and now Meng Zhang was going on a long journey, so I gave him two just in case.

In Meng Zhang's hands, there is even a real fourth-order talisman, but it has not been refined and used.

Later, after experiencing a life-and-death duel with Ying Gaofei, the strong man of the real dragon family, he wanted to have a stronger hole card in his hand. He didn't hesitate to waste his blood and damage his cultivation, and used blood to refine the secret technique, and initially refined that fourth-order talisman. If it is cast reluctantly, it is estimated that most of its power can be exerted.

Of course, he happily accepted the fake fourth-order talisman given by Zhenjun Jin Li, and thanked him non-stop.

No matter how much spirit stones are spent on the artifacts refined by Yuanshen Zhenjun, if there is no way to buy them, they cannot be bought.

Zhenjun Jin Li was so generous that Meng Zhang felt kindness.

He saw that Zhenjun Jin Li delayed his own cultivation because he was obsessed with power. He originally wanted to remind a few words, but then he thought about it, with his own cultivation and knowledge, what qualifications do he have to remind Zhenjun Jin Li. If it angered Zhenjun Jin Li instead, it would be terrible.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhang swallowed everything he wanted to say.

When he came out from Zhenjun Jin Li, Meng Zhang's mood was a bit complicated.

In these years, because of the last battle with the Sea Clan, the senior officials of the Taiyi Sect have criticized Zhenjun Jinli in their hearts, thinking that Zhenjun Jinli is not reliable enough.

In fact, True Monarch Jin Li is not a bad person, but has a bad temper and is a bit moody. In the world of self-cultivation where the weak prey on the strong and intrigues, she can be regarded as a rare real person.

She has protected the Taiyi Sect for many years, and she has made great contributions to the Taiyi Sect. But Taiyi Sect can't rely on others forever, let alone tie the fate and future of the sect to her.

In the future, the two sides will definitely have new differences, and they may drift away.

Not long after Meng Zhang returned from Zhenjun Jinli, it was the day when the mission left.
