Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing first went to see Daoist Huoya to inquire about matters in the palace. Then, he told him about the strange broken bones he had seen in the secret realm.

Daoist Huoya didn't know what it was either, guessing that it might be the remaining bones of a powerful alien beast in the void. If it could be removed, it would be best to get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid future troubles and add to the sect's crisis.

Of course, Zhang Yuanjing also had this intention, so he asked Daoist Huoya to take care of the Xuanyuan Palace, while he went to the secret realm to find a way to take away the remaining broken bones.

Afterwards, he went to the Xuanyuan Palace and summoned the deacons to discuss matters. He didn't care much about the affairs in the palace, just listened roughly, had a general idea, and didn't say much.

He only asked in detail about Hao Zhengxiong's establishment of a stronghold west of Shumi Mountain and his investigation of the enemy's situation.

This person was quite capable. Whether it was buying off rogue cultivators or inquiring about movements, he did a good job. In a short period of time, he had established more than a dozen strongholds within a million miles west of Shumi Mountain. Although it was still just an empty shell, Zhang Yuanjing was very satisfied. He not only praised him a few times, but also bestowed a high-grade spiritual weapon on the spot.

According to True Person Tong's request, he needed to frequently put pressure on the Abyss of Heavenly Demons, showing up from time to time to slay enemies, so that the other party's Nascent Soul would be somewhat apprehensive. Of course, it was also to show his strength, telling the other party that the Xuantian Sect had a second cultivator with Nascent Soul-level combat power.

To do this, it was natural to be able to detect the movements of the Abyss of Heavenly Demons cultivators in a timely manner, so what Hao Zhengxiong was doing was quite important.

After everyone left, Zheng Yuandu and Pan Zhengyu were left behind by Zhang Yuanjing.

Zheng Yuandu glanced at Pan Zhengyu with a smile that was not a smile, but Pan Zhengyu didn't look at him at all.

"Zhengyu, have you recently patrolled the secret realm? Is there anything you need to report?" Zhang Yuanjing asked casually.

In the previous meeting, Pan Zhengyu had already reported the situation of patrolling the secret realm in detail, knowing that Zhang Yuanjing was not asking about this matter, he felt both surprised and happy.

Immediately, he approached Zhang Yuanjing and said in a steady tone: "Palace Master, this subordinate encountered Junior Brother Huo twice and Junior Brother Zhou once while patrolling the Xuanyuan Realm. Junior Brother Huo is cultivating in a place called Zhenqi Mountain in the eastern part of the secret realm. There are many mineral veins there, and the gold energy is condensed. Occasionally, gold spiritual power is generated. The senior and junior brothers in the sect who cultivate gold-based techniques have always liked to go there to try their luck. Junior Brother Huo is锐意进取, brave and unmatched, and his progress is rapid, which is gratifying!

"As for Junior Brother Zhou, he is active in the Xiaonize in the southwest, his aura is restrained, his cultivation is deepening, and he is not far from the middle stage.

"This subordinate specially introduced the two junior brothers to the senior and junior brothers who are cultivating in those places, so that they can take care of each other. If they encounter any danger, this subordinate will be able to know immediately."

Zhang Yuanjing nodded and smiled: "Zhengyu, you have done a good job, I am very satisfied. Zhengkai, Zhengming, since they have entered the secret realm, they must undergo training and cannot always be under protection. Only by encountering some dangers can they play a role in tempering.

"Of course, everything has a limit. Undergoing tempering cannot exceed one's own cultivation realm too much. You patrol the secret realm all year round and are familiar with all kinds of situations. You should give guidance when you should, so as not to let them not know the depth and fall into dangerous places."

Pan Zhengyu's eyes lit up when Zhang Yuanjing praised him, and he hurriedly agreed to his instructions: "Yes, Palace Master! Don't worry, this subordinate will grasp the measure, both take good care of the two junior brothers and let them undergo enough tempering!"

Zhang Yuanjing smiled and nodded, signaling him to wait aside first, and asked Zheng Yuandu: "Junior Brother Yuandu, has anything happened in the palace recently?"

Seeing that Zhang Yuanjing did not let Pan Zhengyu leave, Zheng Yuandu knew that this person had entered his eyes, and he was not without envy in his heart, but he was old and had no such thoughts.

So he collected his mind and said respectfully: "Reporting to the Palace Master, everything has just been reported, but there is one thing that needs to be said here."

Seeing that he said it so cautiously, Zhang Yuanjing was stunned, and then asked: "What is it? Tell me."

Zheng Yuandu said: "The Palace Master knows that all Foundation Establishment disciples in the sect, regardless of whether they have a Core Formation Elder as their master, must undertake the sect's errands every year. Previously, because the Abyss of Heavenly Demons was pressing down on a large scale, the Foundation Establishment disciples were all on duty in the east, west, and south directions, so there was no need to undertake errands.

"Now, the cultivators of the Abyss of Heavenly Demons have retreated to Wanyue Mountain, and the forces of the Thousand Swords Sect in the east have been disintegrated. There is no need for so many Foundation Establishment disciples to be on duty, so the practice of undertaking errands must be restored. This is also something that cannot be helped. If the Foundation Establishment disciples do not undertake errands, the sect is afraid that it will become unsustainable."

"Oh, is the Hall of Xuan planning to let Zhengkai and Zhengming take on errands?" Zhang Yuanjing asked.

Zheng Yuandu hesitated for a moment and said: "This matter is now not under the jurisdiction of the Hall of Xuan, but is handed over to the Hall of Law Enforcement. The person in charge is, is Elder Zhao Tiange Zhao!"

Zhang Yuanjing frowned: "Didn't he go south to clean up the remnants of the Thousand Swords Sect? Why did he return to the Hall of Law Enforcement?"

Zheng Yuandu whispered: "I heard that Elder Zhao's progress in the south was not smooth, and he lost a lot of manpower. True Person Tong was not very satisfied, so he invited Elder Lu Tianying Lu to replace Elder Zhao. Because Elder Zhao is upright and originally managed the Hall of Law Enforcement, he was asked to resume his old business."

Several thoughts flashed through Zhang Yuanjing's mind. He knew that True Person Tong's actions were meticulous and contained profound meaning, but they could not be understood so simply.

If a Foundation Establishment disciple does not have a Core Formation Elder as a master, undertaking errands cannot be completely regarded as a bad thing. After all, they still need to accumulate merit and exchange for secret manuals of techniques, superior pills, high-grade spiritual weapons, and other things from the sect.

But if they are disciples of Core Formation cultivators, these things are usually not lacking, so undertaking errands will delay their cultivation. Therefore, among the Core Formation Elders, there are quite a few who are unwilling to let their disciples undertake errands, especially those who intend to cultivate future generations and establish families.

"Why is the matter of issuing errands also handed over to the Hall of Law Enforcement?"

Zheng Yuandu said: "I heard that some elders in the sect feel sorry for their disciples who have been delayed in their cultivation due to resisting foreign enemies over the years, and intend to protect them from being dispatched, so the Hall of Xuan handed this matter over to the Hall of Law Enforcement."

"What does the Hall of Law Enforcement say? Must they accept the errands? Can't they be offset with spirit stones?" Zhang Yuanjing heard this and it was indeed the case, so he smiled and continued to ask.

Zheng Yuandu replied quickly: "That's not the case. The Hall of Law Enforcement said to handle it according to the sect's practice. Those who violate the rules will be dealt with according to the law."

According to the Xuantian Sect's practice, if a Foundation Establishment disciple does not want to undertake an errand, they can turn in spirit stones to offset it, and they cannot obtain merit. Moreover, if they are disciples of a Core Formation Elder, they can only use spirit stones to offset five years of errands every ten years. Ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples are not included in this list.

That is to say, if they are ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples, as long as they have enough spirit stones, they don't have to undertake errands for a lifetime. Of course, this is actually impossible.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples don't even have spirit stones, and even if they really don't lack spirit stones, they won't use spirit stones to offset errands, because they can't exchange for merit, which is ultimately detrimental to cultivation.

The Xuantian Sect has formed this practice, and of course, it also considers cultivating their loyalty and sense of belonging by allowing disciples to complete errands for the sect.

However, in the past thousand years, this practice has not been strictly implemented. The disciples of Core Formation Elders often only accept an errand once every ten or twenty years. Even ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples, if they are taken care of by Core Formation cultivators, can not undertake errands for many years. Zhang Yuanjing was like this back then.

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment and decided to wait and see for a while, then said: "Since it is handled according to practice, then offset five years of errands with spirit stones first."
