Chapter 36 Xiao Daoyi
"Eight hundred true disciples? Senior sister? What is the cultivation level of the true disciples?"

"To become a true disciple, you first need strong qualifications. The true disciples in these more than 800 villas are basically of the innate level. In addition, you must at least comprehend one sword intent or achieve the realm of true essence. In addition to these conditions, there is another way, which is to delve into the art of alchemy and refining. Our Jianhu Palace is a sword-cultivating sect, and those who know the art of alchemy and refining are very rare, and there are even fewer people who can be called masters. It is not like the Qianyuan Liehuo Sect, which has countless masters of refining and alchemy."

After a pause, Li Qingque pointed to an empty island hundreds of miles in radius in the north and said, "There is a vein of earth fire on that island. True disciples who like to make alchemy and refine weapons all practice on this island. As long as you have talent in alchemy and refine weapons, even if your spiritual power is only at the acquired level, you can become a true disciple. Moreover, those disciples who are gifted in alchemy and refine weapons have a very high status."

Zhang Qian looked carefully and saw two huge alchemy furnaces of equal height on this void island. Each furnace was about a hundred feet high, and wisps of strange-shaped smoke rose from the two huge furnaces.

What's strange is that the smoke sometimes turns into all kinds of strange and bizarre mythical beasts, circling around the alchemy furnace like living things, and sometimes turns into sharp swords that emit soft sword sounds.

"Senior sister, can I learn the art of refining weapons and alchemy?"

Looking at the two huge alchemy furnaces on the island, Zhang Qian was very interested. His first contact with swordsmanship made him comprehend the sword intent of Zhuxian, and the four supreme swords of Zhulu, Xianjue and Jue were imprinted in his soul. He guessed that as long as he came into contact with different magical powers, the illusions of innate treasures and spiritual treasures in the broken jade would definitely change again.

"you?"

Li Qingque shook his head. "It's not easy to learn how to make pills and refine equipment. Most of the disciples who choose to make pills and refine equipment have the spirit of fire. For example, Ling Tianxing, the most talented true disciple on this Shuanglu Island, has the spirit of a congenital Great Sun Fire Crow. He is naturally very friendly to all kinds of divine fire. After Ling Tianxing achieved the realm of true essence, his true essence can be transformed into a little bit of scorching sun true fire, which can be used to make pills and refine equipment with twice the result with half the effort. It can be said that he is gifted. Your spirit is also of the ancient divine beast, but it does not conform to the fire element. You don't have the talent for making pills and refine equipment."

Zhang Qian frowned and looked deeply at Shuanglu Island without saying anything. He did not think that he had no talent for refining medicine and weapons, but he did not say this out loud.

"Let's go. We will be at the sect's main hall soon. When you meet the sect leader, don't act recklessly, or you'll end up in trouble."

Zhang Qian smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I know my limits, but if someone bullies me, I will not be honest."

"You...never mind. It's up to you."

While the two were talking, their figures landed on the largest void island. This largest void island was a thousand miles in radius, and it was simply a continent floating in the air.

Walking on this island, Zhang Qian felt that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was even more dense than before. There were even many disciples with not very high cultivation levels meditating and refining their energy on the cliffs on both sides of the road.

"What are they?"

The cultivation levels of these disciples who were busy meditating and refining Qi were not very high, and most of them were just entering the Qi Refining realm.

"These disciples are all outer disciples. Most of them took the opportunity to come to the Void Island to practice Qi and meditate. Otherwise, there would not be such rich spiritual energy when they arrived at the Void Island. Some disciples joined the inner disciples or true disciples. They can run shops for the inner disciples in the market of the Void Island. This is a great way out. In addition to running the shops, they can take time out to practice. This is also a way for the inner disciples to win over the outer disciples."

"Shop? Is there any shop in the market that belongs to our Demon Refining Island?"

Seeing Zhang Qian's interest, Li Qingque did not hide it from him and said directly: "Of course there are. Although our Demon Refining Island has declined, it still has many special products and rare treasures. However, I have been in seclusion for these years, and those shops have long been handed over to others to manage. What? Are you interested in these? If you are interested, you can take back those shops."

"Don't worry, I have some ideas."

Zhang Qian rolled his eyes and said nothing more.

"I've met my great uncle!"

At this moment, many disciples who were meditating and refining Qi on both sides of the road leading to the sect's main hall on the top of the mountain stood up and saluted Li Qingque respectfully.

They saluted and looked at Zhang Qian with strange eyes.

Zhang Qian did not feel uncomfortable being watched by people. He smiled and nodded along with the disciples, acting like a big shot.

"Okay, stop being naughty." Li Qingque smiled slightly, but the disciples who were saluting beside him were stunned. When had they ever seen Li Qingque smile?

Following the wide jade avenue, the two soon arrived in front of a magnificent palace.

This hall is a hundred feet high and more than a thousand feet long and wide. The whole hall is faintly glowing with colorful mysterious light, as if the entire hall is a treasure. Standing in front of the hall door, people feel pressured and dare not speak loudly.

"Is the great-uncle master back?"

Before the two men entered the hall, two little Taoist children in snow-white Taoist robes appeared. These two Taoist children were cute and elf-like, with their eyes rolling around, most of their gazes were on Zhang Qian.

Li Qingque nodded: "Ring the divine bell, I have something to report to the headmaster."

The two little boys giggled, and two small golden hammers appeared in their hands, and they gently pointed at a black divine bell under the eaves of the hall.

Dong Dong Dong...!
A magnificent bell rang out instantly. The sound was extremely pleasant to the ears, and even made people feel peaceful and free of distracting thoughts. It was obvious that this divine bell was also a treasure.

After a while, the sound of the bell spread throughout the entire Void Island.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen sword lights of different colors flew up and arrived in front of the hall in an instant.

brush……!
When the sword lights fell, Zhang Qian looked up and saw more than a dozen powerful beings with terrifying auras appear.

These powerful men either had white hair and beards, or had dignified faces, and some even had very young faces. The cultivation levels of many of these powerful men were similar to that of Li Qingque, with the lowest being at the Golden Core realm.

Moreover, Zhang Qian keenly felt that each of these people was faintly emitting a different sword intent.

"you are?"

Just as Zhang Qian was secretly looking at them, one of them, a young man who looked to be in his twenties, with a handsome face, a handsome spirit, a sword-shaped mark between his eyebrows, and eyes as cold as stars, frowned and looked at Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian glanced around and found that the young man looked at him with a hint of unkindness and even a hint of jealousy, but the young man hid this hint of unkindness and jealousy very well, disappearing in a flash, and his expression became calm.

Seeing Zhang Qian looking at him with a smile and not answering, the young man showed a hint of disdain in his eyes. Without him making any movement, a hidden golden elixir pressure enveloped Zhang Qian.

"How dare you! Xiao Daoyi, what do you want to do?"

Although what Xiao Daoyi did was secretive, he was still discovered by Li Qingque. She glared at him, dispersing the pressure he exuded.

With Zhang Qian's mind, he could naturally sense what Xiao Daoyi did, and he couldn't help feeling unhappy.

"Uncle Master, why are you angry? I just thought he looked familiar and was joking with him. You didn't even tell me in advance that you were coming back so that I could pick you up. I went to visit the Demon Refining Island a few days ago and found out that you were fighting for the Nine Bends Yellow Spring Map. I was very worried and was planning to go and help you kill the enemy, but I didn't expect you to come back. I'm relieved to see that Uncle Master is not injured."

Xiao Daoyi said with a smile that was as warm as spring breeze on his face, mixed with some admiration.

Li Qingque showed his displeasure, "The matter of the Nine Bends Yellow Springs Map is very complicated, even the head of the sect is implicated. I was just about to report this to him. This is my junior brother who was accepted as a disciple on behalf of my master. His name is Zhang Qian."
