The sun sets in the west.

It's getting late.

Zhang Yitong returned after a long journey.

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.
