Chapter 217 Recruiting a Disciple
The courtyard is not big, just a few feet in diameter. There are three main rooms, with wooden warehouses on both sides, which look quite simple.
Gao Xian didn't even need a flower-judgement mirror. He could see clearly the situation in the courtyard from the door. There was no smell of other cultivators inside.
Looking at the embarrassment on Zhou Ye's old face, Gao Xian was not in a good mood.
What's the matter, Yuling found a new owner after running to a big city for two years?
After several years of experience, Gao Xian's palace is getting deeper and deeper. Things have not yet been clarified, but his expression is still relatively natural and calm. Not to mention using up mana to scare the old man.
Da Niu's face was not very good-looking. He knew that Gao Xian and Zhou Yuling were close, and he had always been very supportive of the Zhou family. Judging from the guilty conscience of the old man, could it be that he sold his daughter? !
His eyes looked a little more stern when he looked at the old man!
Wan Yingying looked curious: "Where are Uncle Zhou and Sister Yuling?"
Old man Zhou Ye laughed dryly: "Actually, it's nothing. Gao Xian, come in quickly. Let's sit in the room..."
Gao Xian nodded and followed the old man into the main room.
The room is simply furnished, with the door to the west half open. Inside, there are dozens of tanned animal skins on a huge table, as well as blood ink, pens and other items. This is obviously where the old man draws talismans.
The other room should be the bedroom, and the bed inside can be seen through the crack in the door.
Zhou Ye asked Gao Xian and others to sit down, and hurriedly made a pot of tea. Wan Yingying was very sensible. She handed the little black cat to Daniel first, and before Zhou Ye could do anything, she took the teapot and poured each of them a cup of tea.
The old man also had a smile on his face, and he sighed with some relief: "Yingying has become a big girl."
When the Blood Demon Sect and the Qisha Sect attacked Pegasus at night, Wan Yingying escaped by chance and lived with the old man and Zhou Yuling.
Zhou Ye still has some feelings for this little girl. Seeing the little girl taking the initiative to take over the task of pouring tea relieved him a lot of embarrassment, and he was very happy.
“Yes, Yingying is quite talented in cultivation, and her future is limitless…”
Gao Xian responded casually.
Wan Yingying chuckled in a low voice: "Uncle Zhou saved my life. If I want to be successful in the future, I will definitely repay Uncle Zhou."
“Good boy…”
Zhou Ye chatted with Gao Xian for a few words and adjusted his mood.
He said: "Nothing happened to Yuling, you don't have to worry."
Gao Xian said nothing, silently waiting for the old man to explain. From his point of view, the old man might be confused, but a smart person like Yuling would not be confused.
It's just that Qingyun City is too big, there are dozens of Jindan Masters, and there are even more foundation-building monks than can be counted. Yuling is beautiful, and it's normal for her to encounter anything.
Looking at Zhou Ye's expression, it seems that's not the case.
“Yu Ling once had a conflict with someone when she went out, and the two sides started fighting. Yu Ling severely injured the other party with the Water Moon Sword.”
Zhou Ye paused for a moment when he said this. Seeing Gao Xian's expression was as calm as usual, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The little alchemist who was scared out of his wits when he was infected with a little evil spirit is really different now.
Sitting there calmly and calmly, his eyes as bright as the stars were filled with concentration, and it was like the mountains were falling apart and the earth was torn apart but the color of the city remained unchanged. The old man felt really guilty when facing such a wise man.
Zhou Ye lamented Gao Xian's growth and became more cautious when dealing with Gao Xian.
He said: "That battle happened to be witnessed by Master Xuan Yue. Shui Yue Sword is the inheritance of their line. Seeing that Yu Ling was smart and compatible with Shui Yue Sword, he accepted Yu Ling as his disciple..."
Gao Xian nodded slightly. Since Xuan Yue is a real person, he must be a third-level golden elixir.
There are particularities in the various titles in the world of cultivators. Those who build the foundation are called monks, the golden elixir is called the real person, the Yuanying is called the true king, the transformed **** is called the Taoist king, and the pure yang is called the Taoist master.
These titles are just like section chief, division chief, and director. They have clear and strict hierarchies and must not be called randomly.
Zhou Ye was afraid that Gao Xian would misunderstand, so he hurriedly emphasized: "Zhenren Xuanyue is a Kun cultivator, and they are also Kun cultivators. They have quite a status in the Qingyun Sect.
"I didn't mention this in the biography because Zhenren Xuan Yue is not allowed to tell outsiders. She also has a rule that she wants her disciples to cut off their seven emotions and six desires. Even I can't visit, and Yuling is not allowed to contact the outside world..."
Gao Xian looked deeply at the old man. I am afraid there is something untrue in what he said. Otherwise, why would the old man be so guilty?
I think Master Xuanyue explained the conditions early and they agreed. I felt a little sorry for him again.
In fact, his feelings for Yu Ling are very simple. The lively and charming Yu Ling brought him many happy moments in Pegasus.
Compared with the resource support he gave Yu Ling, it was all generosity that he could spare, and it was not equivalent to these happiness. At least that's how he measured it in his mind.
He was still very happy that Yuling could have a better future. As for the harsh requirements of Master Xuanyue, he didn't really care.
He can understand that Zhou Yuling wants to give up their relationship for the sake of the road. It's like asking him to choose between Da Dao and Yu Ling. He may hesitate, but no matter how he chooses, he will definitely choose Da Dao in the end.
Love between men and women is just scenery on the road of construction. He has this awareness, and it is reasonable for Zhou Yuling to have this awareness.
With this choice, there is no betrayal or debt.
However, he always wanted to meet Yuling and listen to what she had to say. Don't add so many dramas to yourself in your mind!
Zhou Ye saw that Gao Xian was silent, his face was as dark as water, and there was no sign of happiness or anger. This deep darkness made him even more uneasy.
Wan Yingying wanted to speak to calm down the atmosphere, but looking at Gao Xian's appearance, she didn't dare to talk nonsense.
After a moment of silence, Gao Xian said to Zhou Ye: "I will ask someone to ask about Yu Ling's matters. Uncle Zhou doesn't have to worry."
He turned around and said: "The house here is too small and can't accommodate so many people. Uncle Zhou has been here for two years and is more familiar with this place than us. Find a place for us to settle down first..."
Zhou Ye breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up hurriedly and said: "Beicheng District is full of direct descendants of the sect, and someone must be a guarantor to live in it. In the east city area, there are 42 squares, and Anshan Square has the best conditions.
“The residences inside are magnificent, including Yunshui Building, Wanbao Building, Wan'an Hall, and Changle Building. Many foundation-building monks gather there. They often gather in the teahouse to exchange ideas...”
“Okay, please ask Uncle Zhou to help us arrange it.”
Since Gao Xian is not familiar with the place, it is more convenient for Zhou Ye to handle these chores.
Besides, Zhou Ye has a lot of spiritual stones and elixirs to support him, so it is reasonable to use this old man.
Zhou Ye nodded repeatedly: "I'll make arrangements."
Gao Xian took Wan Yingying, Daniu, and Xiao Hei Miao to the inn first. It was a large inn called Chang'an, and each person's daily accommodation fee was ten spiritual stones.
Daniu and Wan Yingying were both shocked by the price. Wan Yingying whispered to Gao Xian: "Brother, Daniu and I can live with you."
She knew that Gao Xian was quite rich, but the price of ten spiritual stones for one night was too exaggerated.
An ordinary casual cultivator in Pegasus Ji can earn three to five spiritual stones in a month, and he would have to go without food or drink for three months just to stay here for one night.
Wan Yingying and Daniu both grew up in Pegasus. They were used to living a hard life and were reluctant to spend money.
Gao Xian also felt that the price was expensive. There must be cheap inns in Qingyun City. But now that he has money, there is no need to wrong himself for a few spiritual stones.
He asked for three upper rooms, one for each person except the little black cat.
After settling in, Gao Xian wrote a letter to Yun Qiushui. The other party said that he would contact him when he came to Qingyun Sect.
Everything else is trivial. The key is the Qingyun Dharma Assembly. Only by contacting Yun Qiushui can we know the details.
This matter is related to his path to Taoism, and he has even offended Yun Taihao, so he must not take it lightly. Gao Xian found the clerk and asked him to deliver the errands.
The address Yun Qiushui left was a medicine hall, which was very convenient for delivering letters. The big inn charges so much, so it's only right to help run errands and deliver letters.
After handling this matter, Gao Xian stayed in the room and did not go out. The main reason is to wait for Yun Qiushui. Besides, he is not very interested in going out for fun.
Wan Yingying and Daniu couldn't resist the bustle and excitement of Qingyun City, so they went out with Zhou Ye.
According to Zhou Ye, the security in Qingyun City is very good, especially during the day. As long as you don't go deep into Nancheng District, there will be no danger.
Gao Xian stayed in the room with his legs crossed and his eyes closed, quietly sensing the strong spiritual energy here.
There are millions of cultivators in Qingyun City, and each of them breathes out spiritual energy day and night. The spiritual energy here is still so strong, which shows how rich the spiritual energy is here.
It's no wonder that Qingyun Sect established its sect here, and it's no wonder that Qingyun City can be so prosperous.
Gao Xian performed the Great Five Elements Gong, and the Qi circulated for 108 days. The spiritual energy circulated in his body and infiltrated his body and soul little by little.
Through several years of practicing day and night, he developed the Great Five Elements Kung Fu to the level of a master. This also makes his Great Five Elements Gong operate extremely smoothly, and can fully bring out the five-element balancing characteristics of the Great Five Elements Gong.
In an environment with sufficient spiritual energy, the Great Five Elements Kung Fu operates more smoothly, and breathing in and out of spiritual energy becomes easier.
Gao Qian clearly felt the limit of the Great Five Elements Kung Fu. The spiritual energy here was so abundant, but his efficiency in breathing out the spiritual energy was almost the same as that in Lianyuncheng.
It can be seen that this is not a problem of aura, but a limitation of the Great Five Elements Gong itself.
Nan Pingsong had reminded him long ago that the Great Five Elements Kung Fu is an ordinary skill that has been widely circulated. Even if the golden elixir can be condensed by this method, it must be a lower-grade third-grade golden elixir.
Now it seems that it is just as Nan Pingsong said. This is the limit of the Great Five Elements Gong itself.
The Great Five Elements Gong is like a broken car. No matter how skilled and sophisticated his driving skills are, he will inevitably be far behind other good cars on long distances.
Not to mention that some people directly fly airplanes and ride rockets. What can he compare it to!
Fengyue Baojian can optimize the secrets of magic, but it requires a special opportunity, and it also needs the combination of side magic and the five elements.
Now, it is no longer possible to add new spells to the back of Fengyue Baojian. Even if he finds the Huang Chi method that fits the Five Elements Skill, it will be useless.
Gao Xian has also checked that the method used to complete the foundation building is crucial.
Although you can modify other methods after building the foundation, they will definitely not be so consistent with the light of the body and the soul.
For him, modifying his exercises is the next best thing. The best way is to find the Five Elements Combination Method and improve the level of the Five Elements Gong.
The last time I saw Yun Qiushui on Feixian Island, because he was surrounded by Jindan masters and they were busy competing in martial arts, they didn't have time to ask about the Five Elements Heqi method.
Besides, it would be too anxious to worry about these things before you even get started.
Gao Xian decided to consult Yun Qiushui this time. It involved the future of Taoism, which was of great importance and could not tolerate any pretentiousness.
At night, Zhou Ye came back with Daniu and Wan Yingying.
Daniu looked tired. Apparently shopping was too tiring for him. Wan Yingying is also a little tired, but her bright eyes are full of excitement. It is obvious that this big place in Qingyun City makes her very excited and happy...
Gao Xian asked Zhou Ye to find a better restaurant and treat a few people to a big meal. Everyone returned happily.
The next morning, Zhou Ye came again, and Wan Yingying was still excited to go with him.
Daniu didn't want to go at first. He was a little worried about the old man and worried about Wan Yingying's safety, so he forced himself to go together.
Wan Yingying threw the little black cat to Gao Xian and followed the old man and Daniel out happily.
The group of people walked for more than half an hour and arrived at Anshanfang.
There are one hundred and sixty-nine squares in Qingyun City. Each square has four high outer walls, making the square independent.
These shops are like independent small towns. There are guards guarding the entrances, and waist badges must be checked when entering. Outsiders must register to enter.
Fang Ya was waiting for them outside the north gate. When he saw Zhou Ye arriving, he went over and said a few words to the guards, then took Zhou Ye and the others into Anshanfang without registering.
The Fang Ya that Zhou Ye contacted was an intermediary specializing in real estate transactions.
Fang Ya is a middle-aged man in his forties, with dark complexion, a green robe and a small cap, and a shrewd look on his face. When you see someone smiling before they speak, your attitude is warm and humble.
“Guys, we looked at Monk Zhang's house yesterday. There happened to be someone there today. Let's go in and have a good look…”
Yesterday, Fang Ya took Zhou Ye and the others around the door. At that time, Wan Yingying felt that this house was good.
The third time you enter the courtyard, you open the door to the opposite side. Through the high blue brick wall, you can faintly see the high eaves and corners inside, which looks quite impressive.
After returning home, Wan Yingying also told Gao Xian. Gao Xian asked them to come and have a look, and if it was really good, they could rent it for a while.
Several people arrived at the door, and sure enough, the side door opened, and a man who looked like an old concierge was cleaning the steps at the door.
Fang Ya whispered: "The great monk Zhang Dongling was transferred outside for a higher promotion, so this house took action. You guys are also lucky..."
Zhou Ye responded with a smile, saying that he had heard too much and said too much about things like good luck, so how could he take it seriously.
Wan Yingying also curled her lips slightly. She was so smart that she wouldn't care about such words.
Fang Ya went over and nodded and said a few words to the old concierge, and then the old concierge led everyone into the courtyard in a lukewarm manner.
Several people were led into the atrium by the old concierge, and there happened to be a tall, middle-aged man in the yard. He was wearing a gorgeous dark blue robe and was looking at the fish in the big tank with his hands behind his back, looking at ease and at ease.
A pergola was set up in the atrium. The tall pergola blocked most of the hot July sunshine, leaving a little bit of scattered sunlight falling on the yard, making the yard a little brighter.
The old concierge saw the middle-aged man saluting hurriedly, and Fang Ya also bowed deeply.
Zhou Ye and others also realized that this was the owner of this house, monk Zhang Dongling. He smiled apologetically and bowed his hands.
Wan Yingying was with Gao Xian and Qiniang every day, and she didn't have much respect for the foundation-building monks. She curiously looked at Zhang Dongling, a somewhat serious old man, and lost interest after just one glance.
Zhang Dongling's gaze suddenly fell on Wan Yingying's face. A strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and his aura was quite intimidating.
Although Wan Yingying didn't know what Zhang Dongling was doing, she felt a little uneasy instinctively. She took a few steps back and stood behind Daniel.
Zhou Ye also saw something was wrong. He didn't want to cause trouble, and was about to leave with Wan Yingying when Zhang Dongling said, "Whose family does this girl belong to? I think she has a special physique and is quite compatible with my family's method."
He said and smiled at Wan Yingying: "Are you willing to be my disciple?"
Zhang Dongling has a square face and thick eyebrows. He looks quite tough and dignified. The corners of his mouth are twitching now, but there is no smile in his eyes.
Wan Yingying felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at this person. Before Zhou Ye could speak, she hurriedly said: "Thank you, I have a teacher."
Zhou Ye was afraid of offending the other party, so he smiled apologetically and said: "Senior, it's an honor for this child to be valued by you. It's just that this child has a teacher. Sorry, sorry..."
Zhang Dongling said calmly: "This child is destined to me. Now that I have met him, I must accept him as my disciple."
Zhou Ye, Daniu, and Wan Yingying all changed their expressions, especially Wan Yingying, whose little face suddenly turned white...
