Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 412 - 382: Accepting Disciples

On the following day, Chu Qin and his group arrived at the Cyan Mountain Sect to meet Lu Yuanshan.

Lu Yuanshan called out and also summoned Zhang Deming to the Sect Hall.

"One Dual Spirit Root, the other two are Three Spirit Roots and Four Spirit Roots. This time, my Zhang Family is really fortunate."

Upon learning the Spirit Root talents of the three children, Zhang Deming’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help but express his amazement.

Especially the little girl with the Dual Spirit Root, Zhang Deming took several extra glances at her.

This little girl, named Zhang Ruoruo, appeared very well-behaved and cute. Facing the crowd’s gaze, she nervously lowered her head, feeling both eager and unfamiliar with the prospect of joining the Cyan Mountain Sect.

The other two were both young boys.

The one with the Three Spirit Roots was named Zhang Baodian, who looked rather plain and was currently forcing a smile on his face, looking somewhat like a silly grin as if trying to please Lu Yuanshan and the others.

The one with the Four Spirit Roots was named Zhang Li, the oldest among the three at eleven years old, with a somewhat aloof personality, not looking around.

"Haha, Clan Leader Zhang, are you regretting this and thinking of taking them back to nurture within the family?"

Lu Yuanshan quipped with a smile.

In front of these three kids from the Zhang Family, Lu Yuanshan called Zhang Deming by the title Clan Leader Zhang instead of Elder Zhang like before.

The change in address was because the presence of three young Zhang Family members made the title Clan Leader Zhang feel less foreign to them, as if they were still within their own family, with their clan leader present.

Not appearing too distant at all.

Upon hearing Lu Yuanshan’s words, Zhang Deming clearly understood it was a joke and immediately responded with a wry smile, shaking his head, "The Sect Leader is joking. I’m delighted that three Spirit Root disciples can join the Cyan Mountain Sect; there’s no way I would regret it."

"With these three young ones entering the Sect to cultivate, I’m relieved. Their prospects in the Sect are much better than cultivating within the family."

After Lu Yuanshan finished speaking, he considered for a moment and summoned Lu Changfeng and Lu Zhiwei, along with Lu Ping, mentioning there were new disciples joining the Sect, inviting them to come and take a look.

Receiving the message, Lu Changfeng, Lu Zhiwei, and Lu Ping arrived at the Sect Hall.

Of course, as far as Zhang Deming was concerned, it appeared that only Lu Zhiwei and Lu Changfeng entered the hall, while Lu Ping floated nearby, unseen by others.

"The young ones from Zhang Family joining Cyan Mountain Sect, Elder Zhang, you’ve planned this well."

Upon learning of the Spirit Root talents, Lu Changfeng couldn’t help but tease, particularly surprised by the presence of a Dual Spirit Root among them.

Zhang Deming turned his gaze to Lu Changfeng, slightly sighing, "Currently, my Zhang Family’s cultivation resources are quite tight, supplying the family cultivators with resources is not easy."

"With these three young ones joining the Cyan Mountain Sect to cultivate, it seems like the best outcome to me, as the Cyan Mountain Sect is fully capable of nurturing them well."

"Hehe, I wonder if Elder Changfeng has any thoughts of accepting disciples?"

Hearing this, Lu Changfeng, aware of the current situation of the Zhang Family, didn’t rush to answer Zhang Deming, instead glancing over the three young ones.

Facing Lu Changfeng’s gaze, the three young ones raised their heads to look at him.

Toward this senior in the Cyan Mountain Sect, the three young ones were quite nervous. If their clan leader was seeking to have them accepted as disciples, this person must hold a prestigious position, and likely possess significant strength.

Compared to the three young ones, Zhang Deming’s expression was just as uneasy, hoping that Lu Changfeng would be willing to take them as disciples.

Knowing full well Lu Changfeng’s abilities, being both the Sect Leader’s younger brother, and having a sister who’s also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and a remarkable Artifact Refiner.

Had he not been burdened with his responsibilities as the clan leader, Zhang Deming himself would have wanted to study under Lu Changfeng.

"Changfeng, I think Clan Leader Zhang’s suggestion is a good one."

Lu Yuanshan added at this moment.

"Among these three children, one has a main spirit root of Fire attribute, which perfectly aligns with your cultivation technique."

After speaking, Lu Yuanshan directed his gaze toward Zhang Baodian, softly calling out his name.

"Zhang Baodian, step forward a bit."

"Yes." Hearing that, Zhang Baodian quickly took two steps forward, kneeling in homage to Lu Changfeng with an air of honesty.

"My... my name is Zhang Baodian, ’Bao’ as in treasure, ’Dian’ as in classic. I’ve always lived in Pingyang Town."

"My father’s name is Zhang Yuming, my mother is Li Ningyan, both of them are farmers in Pingyang Town... I... I am the youngest at home, nine years old, with two elder sisters and one elder brother above me."

In introducing himself, Zhang Baodian appeared somewhat flustered but managed to clarify things.

At this moment, he was quite astute, knowing that Lu Yuanshan was giving him an opportunity.

"My Spirit Root is... Fire, Wood, and Gold Three Spirit Roots, main Spirit Root should be Fire..."

After that, Zhang Baodian knelt and kowtowed.

"Haha, you little rascal."

Seeing that Zhang Baodian was not dull but rather clever, Zhang Deming was amused, laughing heartily with a gentle expression.

On the side, Lu Ping couldn’t help but take another look at Zhang Baodian.

From initial impressions, Zhang Baodian seemed to have an introverted personality, not prone to causing trouble. Compared to Lu Changfeng’s fiery and impulsive nature, despite their different temperaments, Lu Changfeng could completely handle Zhang Baodian.

If Lu Changfeng were to accept disciples, he should take the likes of Zhang Baodian, who would be easy to manage.

"Baodian, indeed your main Spirit Root is Fire, the same as Elder Changfeng."

Lu Yuanshan said with a smile, continuing to ask Lu Changfeng.

"Second brother, what do you think of Baodian, will you take him or not?"

"I think you should take him on. You’re forever busy juggling between arrays and cultivation, normally laid-back, and could benefit from having a disciple by your side."

"Well..."

Hearing Lu Yuanshan’s comments, Lu Changfeng appeared somewhat exasperated, hesitating and scratching his head.

"Is it because you are thinking of Tang Zhixian?"

Seeing Lu Changfeng’s hesitance, Lu Yuanshan guessed his thoughts at the moment.

Lu Changfeng had only one disciple under him, Tang Zhixian, who, a few years ago, at a sect meeting, voluntarily left the Cyan Mountain Sect.

At the time, the Cyan Mountain Sect was in dire financial straits, struggling just to survive, facing dissolution.

When it was put to the disciples to vote on whether to sell the Sect Establishment Order for Spirit Stones or suspend salaries for three years to invest in the sect’s Spirit Field, Tang Zhixian chose neither, severed his master-disciple relationship with Lu Changfeng, and left for the Tang Family.

At the time, Tang Zhixian’s ingratitude shocked many disciples, evoking their censure, with Song Minghui even pointing at Tang Zhixian and cursing ’Don’t come back once you’ve left’.
