Chuyunzi's originally calm expression revealed a hint of a smile.
Previously, he agreed to admit Zhang Yi more out of obligation, but now Chuyunzi was genuinely intrigued.
The three disciples he had taken in before were mostly of ordinary physical constitution, though under his guidance later, they all transformed completely. Yet, the challenges they went through were known only to him.
Now, admitting someone with an Innate Dao Body was a completely new experience for him.
After measuring the Innate Dao Body, Zhang Jian and Chuyunzi took Zhang Yi to the Ancestral Hall.
Zhang Yi naturally acquired the status of an inner sect disciple of the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
After becoming an inner sect disciple, one could enter the depths of the Ancestral Hall to select a Fundamental Technique and a Supporting Technique.
"Fifth junior brother, Yi'Er's natural physique is close to the Water Element, making him best suited for cultivating the 'Nine Qi Essence True Scripture.' As for the Supporting Technique, we can wait until Yi'Er's mind matures before making a decision. What do you think?"
Facing Chuyunzi's inquiry, Zhang Jian smiled.
"Second senior brother is Yi'Er's master, let the second senior brother decide this time!"
He chose Chuyunzi as Zhang Yi's master precisely because Chuyunzi was effective in teaching disciples.
Otherwise, with his abilities, he could have Zhang Yi apprenticed under a Yin Spirit Venerable or even a Sect's Primordial Spirit Master.
Of course, he also had high hopes for Chuyunzi's future.
Though Chuyunzi was only at the Golden Core Realm, in Zhang Jian's eyes, his foundation was extraordinarily solid, far surpassing ordinary Golden Cores. Achieving the Yin Spirit was inevitable, and reaching the level of a Primordial Spirit Master was not out of the question.
The two agreed on Zhang Yi's primary cultivation technique, and then further discussed the forging and development of Innate Qi.
Chuyunzi soon discovered that Zhang Jian's research on the Innate Dao Body surpassed his own.
He couldn't help but remark.
"Fifth junior brother, you really are the most suitable to be Yi'Er's master!"
"No, second senior brother, although I've comprehended some of the Innate Divine Profound, I don't have your innovative thinking. Your understanding of various techniques and innovative ideas are things many lack!"
Zhang Jian smiled slightly.
Now residing in the mundane world, he didn't have much time to personally guide Zhang Yi.
Praised by Zhang Jian, Chuyunzi's expression remained unchanged.
The two quickly reached consensus on how to cultivate Zhang Yi.
And they agreed that when Zhang Yi turned ten, the Tongshan Dao Lineage would send a guide to the mundane world to personally escort Zhang Yi into the Tongshan Dao Lineage for cultivation.
Immediately, Zhang Jian took Zhang Yi away.
Chuyunzi pondered briefly, and his form transformed into a stream of light, heading towards the Demon-slaying Hall.
On the Demon-slaying Hall stood three magnificent Ancestral Master Golden Bodies: the statues of the First Generation Ancestor Master, Second Generation Ancestor Master, and True Monarch Zhanmo.
"Master!"
With a slight bow, Chuyunzi entered the hall and saw a golden light slowly emanating from beneath the curtain.
"What is it?"
In the golden light, a vague and magnificent Divine Sense appeared, the Divine Sense of the Demon Suppression True Monarch coalescing into a human form.
The golden light was resplendent.
Seeing this, Chuyunzi slightly bowed and said.
"Master, in ten years, I would like to borrow the sect's Dragon Transformation Pool!"
True Monarch Zhanmo glanced at the second disciple and said lightly.
"You wish to help your little disciple purify the Dragon Blood within him? You should think it over carefully; you've worked hard teaching for so long and have only one chance to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool. If you give it to your disciple, it might affect your own cultivation!"
Chuyunzi smiled.
"Having Dragon Blood itself is an advantage; coupled with some Body Forging Techniques to enhance vitality, it could in turn promote the growth of magical power. It might even awaken some Dragon Race divine techniques, especially in certain environments where a strong physique could be an advantage!"
"Master, as for me, my magical power is already established, and my body has been refined to an extent where progress is limited. Even if I enter the Dragon Transformation Pool, its effects are limited."
True Monarch Zhanmo glanced at him and nodded inwardly.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to secure an additional place for Demon-slaying Peak."
She laughed, "In recent years, thanks to your fifth junior brother's efforts in the mundane world, frequently mitigating calamities, our Celestial Fortune Pool in the depths of Demon-slaying Peak has been steadily growing. Securing an additional slot should be no problem!
A father's merit deserves acknowledgment, and the son naturally benefits!
Chuyunzi smiled slightly.
According to the operation mechanism of the Tongshan Dao Lineage, besides the main peak of the sect possessing a Fortune Lotus Pool, other peaks have various fortune-measuring magical artifacts. Each time the fortune scale is reached, the peaks automatically gain certain sect privileges, such as entering different Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands with cultivation limits, or entering Treasure Lands like the Dragon Transformation Pool.
Conversely, if the fortune of the peaks depletes, the weight and priority they hold within the sect will gradually decrease, until they lose the rights as a main vein, turning into a branch vein.
And the main vein would be replaced by the subsequent branch veins.
This is the secret to the enduring prosperity of the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
Whether cultivating within the sect or traveling outside, disciples of the Immortal Sect continually strive to increase the sect's fortune.
The more fortune there is, the more privileges there are, and even the favor of the Ancestral Masters.
Otherwise, they would be excluded.
This rule applies even to those with the best talents; great aptitude only guarantees some sect resources initially, but if they fail to meet expectations, the sect's system will abandon them.
...
In the family shrine, two streams of light swiftly shot from the Heaven and Earth Profound Sect and landed on a large and a small figure.
Zhang Jian opened his eyes, his body surrounded by strands of clear brilliance.
Beside him, Zhang Yi also opened his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhang Jian asked with a smile. "Yi'Er, how do you feel?"
Zhang Yi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said.
"Father, it's really fun, much more so than at the academy!"
Zhang Jian nodded.
Zhang Yi, naturally a Dragon Seed, was inherently suited to primitive, wild environments like Tongshan.
Not only does he not feel afraid, but he may even develop a longing for it.
Just as the Flood Dragon roams freely in vast waters.
Zhang Jian nodded and said, "From today onwards, I will gradually teach you to cultivate. I hope you cultivate well and achieve success in your Dao Skill, fulfilling the hopes of your father and mother!"
Zhang Jian spoke with a double meaning!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded.
"Father, I will!"
He raised his head confidently.
Seeing his manner, the Zhang family secretly shook their heads.
Dragon Seeds are naturally proud; over the next four years, he must be well-taught to prevent his nature from causing major setbacks.
...
The cultivation of the "Nine Qi Essence True Scripture" lies in marshes!
Zhang Jian took Zhang Yi to the Haojing Canal!
Zhang Yi, naturally a Dragon Seed, immediately sensed the presence of the Spiritual Mechanism during his first breathing session and soon completed his first minor circulation.
After Zhang Yi initially learned breathing, Zhang Jian did not allow him to proceed further, but instead transmitted to him the "Supreme Forget Emotion Technique," nurturing the soul and teaching him to control his beastly nature.
Possessing Dragon Race blood is advantageous, but if the weakness is sensed by others, it may become a disadvantage.
Additionally, after Zhang Yi began cultivating, Zhang Jian also took out the conch to inform Bai Liying.
He also conveyed his plan to send Zhang Yi into the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
