Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Chapter 18 Wan Jianyi
After reprimanding Lin Jingyu, Cangsong bowed to Taoist Master Daoxuan and said:
"Brother, even if what Jingyu said was true, Zhang Xiaofan seriously injured Qi Hao in order to save Senior Sister Tian Ling'er,"

"But it is true that he severely injured and maimed his fellow disciples. He deserves to be punished. Please let the head brother make the decision."

When Taoist Master Daoxuan heard this, his expression did not change at all. He stared at Cangsong with his calm eyes and said:

"Cangsong, let the younger generations solve their problems. As elders, we should not interfere."

"Moreover, it is normal for fellow disciples to accidentally injure each other during a competition, but you, the elder, want to punish him for this..."

At this point, Taoist Master Daoxuan's tone changed and he said in a deep voice:
"Junior brother, it seems that although your Taoism has become more and more profound over the years, your morality has deteriorated."

When Cangsong heard this, he felt extremely angry and thought to himself:

Daoxuan, three hundred years ago, you did not consider the friendship between fellow disciples and executed Brother Wan Jianyi together with other elders.

Now, he favors his disciple Zhang Xiaofan.

Humph, when I get the chance, I will make sure you die without a burial place.

Although Cangsong thought so in his heart and wished to kill Daoxuan immediately, he knew that Daoxuan's Taoism had become more and more advanced over the past hundred years, and had even reached the ninth level of Shangqing. He was by no means his opponent.

Therefore, he, who was extremely cunning, suppressed his murderous intent and said respectfully:
"Master Brother, what you taught me is true. Cangsong knows it."

Taoist Xuan glanced at Cangsong and said:
"Whether it's Lin Jingyu, Qi Hao, or Zhang Xiaofan, they are all my Qingyun disciples. Don't separate us."

"No matter who has a deeper level of Taoism, it is a blessing for me."

Cangsong ignored it, and seeing that he didn't achieve the desired effect, he said to Daoxuan:
"Master, I will take my leave now."

"Yeah." Daoxuan hummed and glanced at Lin Jingyu.

He always felt that Lin Jingyu was too similar to that person, so much so that he didn't want to accept this extremely talented Lin Jingyu as his disciple.

If I accept him as my disciple, he will feel uneasy around me.

Daoxuan watched Cangsong and the other two leave the hall. He stood there thinking for a while, as if he had made an important decision. His calm eyes trembled.

Finally, he left the main hall and headed towards the ancestral temple.

Ancestral Hall.

An old man was sweeping the floor in the ancestral temple with a broom.

From the waving of his shriveled sleeves, it could be seen that the other person was missing an arm.

"Tap tap... tap tap..."

Just then, footsteps sounded from outside the door and walked in.

The old man paused, but did not turn around. He continued sweeping the floor, and an old voice rang out:

"You haven't been here for a hundred years. Why are you here today?"

Daoxuan looked at the old man in front of him, seemingly unable to believe that the handsome man who was once full of vigor and vitality had turned into such an old man in just three hundred years.

After a long while, Taoist Xuan said:

"you're old!"

"As long as one is human, he or she will grow old. From ancient times to the present, no one in the world has figured out the mystery of immortality." Wan Jianyi replied calmly.

"Yes, no one can live forever." Daoxuan looked at his junior brother who was a dozen years younger than him, and now he was so old. It seemed that the grudge in his heart had disappeared.

After a long while, Daoxuan said again:
"I didn't want to come to see you, but now that Qingyun has produced a genius, I'm afraid that Tian Buyi will waste this uncut gem."

"And Tian Buyi used to be dull in talent, but after you enlightened him, he soared to the sky. Now he is almost the same as Cangsong, and his strength is even higher than that of the other four sects' masters."

"If we were to ask who in Qingyun is the best at teaching disciples, it would be you."

Upon hearing this, Wan Jianyi shook his head and said:

"I am just an old man sweeping the floor. I just want to spend the rest of my life in the ancestral temple. I don't want to ask about Qingyun's affairs."

Seeing Wan Jianyi's refusal, Daoxuan did not give up. He thought for a moment and said again:

"Three hundred years have passed, and now the Demon Cult has revived and its strength has greatly increased." "Besides, do you want to take your skills with you into the earth in the future? That would be such a pity."

"Haha!" Wan Jianyi chuckled and said:
"I said before, I am just an old man sweeping the floor, I don't have any special abilities, and I don't want to interfere in Qingyun's affairs, and the Demon Cult has nothing to do with me."

Upon seeing this, Daoxuan knew that he could not persuade Wan Jianyi, who was a determined man, so he turned and left.

When he reached the door, he paused and said:
"That genius, only fourteen or fifteen years old, has reached the seventh level of Jade Purity after three years of cultivation."

"If you teach him the way of the sword, he will even surpass you in your youth."

However, Wan Jianyi remained unmoved and just swept the floor quietly, as if everything had nothing to do with him and nothing in the world had shaken him in the slightest.

"Ugh!"

Daoxuan sighed and said:
"It's a pity that such a piece of unpolished jade is going to be buried by Tian Buyi."

"Daoxuan would be ashamed of his ancestors if such a rough gem is not discovered."

As soon as he finished speaking, Daoxuan took a big step, stepped out of the door without hesitation, and walked down the mountain.

After walking a hundred meters, an old voice suddenly sounded:

"Bring him to me!"

Daoxuan's calm eyes moved, and then he walked quickly towards the Yuqing Palace with light steps.

Then, he ordered his disciples to summon Tian Buyi.

Tian Buyi then came to Yuqing Palace and discussed with Daoxuan for a full hour before returning to Dazhu Peak with a heavy heart.

As soon as we arrived at the square outside the Shoujing Hall, Su Ru came up to us and asked:

"It's not easy. You look unhappy. Why did the head brother summon you?"

"Alas!" Tian Buyi didn't say anything, but just sighed with an unpleasant expression, walked into Shoujing Hall, and sat in the main seat.

Su Ru first made a cup of tea for Tian Buyi, then came behind him and massaged his shoulders with both hands without asking any further questions.

Because she knew that Tian Buyi would tell her.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Tian Buyi frowned and said:

"do you know?"

"Master Brother actually said in a tactful way that I can't tap into Xiaofan's full potential. His words imply that I am wasting a rare gem."

"Then, he sent me to Tongtian Peak, and he asked a strange man to teach Xiaofan."

Su Ru didn't answer immediately after hearing this. She thought for a while before saying:

"It's not easy. I think what the head brother said makes some sense."

"What?" Tian Buyi became angry when he heard that. He turned around and glared at Su Ru, but found that the other person had a calm and dignified expression.

"Ugh!"

Tian Buyi sighed, then said:
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you."

"It's okay." Su Ru smiled and said nonchalantly.

She understood her husband, who was always concerned about his reputation.

Rather, there are hundreds of disciples from other peaks, some of whom are extremely talented.

However, the Dazhu Peak lineage has only a few disciples, and their talents are mediocre and difficult to be considered as high-ranking ones.

After much difficulty, a genius named Zhang Xiaofan emerged. He could finally be proud of himself among his fellow disciples. However, the head disciple thought that he was wasting a raw talent and wanted to ask someone to teach him.

Su Ru massaged Tian Buyi's shoulders and said:
"We are all Qingyun disciples. Now that the Demon Cult is showing signs of revival, we should strengthen the strength of every disciple so that we can survive the future catastrophe."

"You know Xiaofan's talent. It is indeed extraordinary. It is the only one I have ever seen in the past three hundred years..."
