Chapter 313 Jian Yuntian goes into seclusion! The Zhang family's happy troubles.
Jian Yuntian naturally understood what Hua Shisan was saying.
But the more this happened, the stronger his determination to break through became.
"Master, I understand what you have said."
However, we sword cultivators must forge ahead without hesitation.
If I break through to the half-step Nascent Soul realm first, all the sword bones I have cultivated over the past hundreds of years will be broken.
There is no possibility of taking it any further.
As he spoke, Jian Yuntian flicked his sleeve, his entire being appearing as sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath, revealing its full power.
"Master, this is my own choice."
The disciple will do his utmost to break through the barrier.
The outcome... is unknown.
thump.
Jian Yuntian knelt down and respectfully kowtowed three times to Hua Shisan.
He said sincerely, "Master, I have no wife or children in this life."
He only has one direct disciple, Tianjian.
If my disciple unfortunately perishes, I beg Master to help him ascend to the position of sect leader.
This is his dream, and he will not let you down.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Yuntian kowtowed three more times.
He knew that this breakthrough was a matter of life and death, and that today might be the last time he and his disciple could see each other.
He must secure Hua Shisan's support for Zhou Tianjian.
Only in this way can he become the sect leader of the Nine Hua Sword Sect in the future.
Hearing Jian Yuntian's words, Hua Shisan's eyes revealed a hint of relief.
They did not say anything to stop them.
He raised his right hand slightly and sighed:
"Very well, since you have made your decision, then I will not stop you."
The path to spiritual cultivation lies in striving.
We must contend with Heaven, with Earth, and with other people.
What I want to say is that you must finish the path you choose, even if you have to crawl on your knees.
As a sword cultivator, one should have the courage to slay all things with one's sword.
As for the Heavenly Sword...
He is not only your apprentice, but also your grand-apprentice.
I am quite satisfied with that child.
If you perish this time, he will be the next disciple of the Nine Hua Sword Sect.
No one can take it away!
Hua Shisan is now the only Nascent Soul Elder in the sect, and his word carries great weight.
No one dared to refute it.
Even if someone in the sect is dissatisfied, they have to keep it to themselves!
Seeing that his master had made a promise to him, Jian Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief.
The last lingering attachment vanished.
He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Master."
The disciple takes his leave.
Master…
Jian Yuntian opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
He paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly:
"Take care, Master."
Before he could finish speaking, a flash of white light appeared on the scene, and his figure vanished instantly.
He couldn't wait any longer.
If one waits until their willpower is worn away, the possibility of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage will be infinitely close to zero.
This is not what he wanted to see.
Hua Shisan looked at the spot where Jian Yuntian had disappeared, a hint of worry rising in his eyes.
He murmured to himself:
"My disciple... I wish you success."
……
Meanwhile, at Xuanxiao Mountain.
The Zhang family.
After returning from the Su family last time, Zhang Zujun went to the Sacred Pill Hall to continue his seclusion and consolidate his cultivation at the core of the Nine Yang Fusion Heaven Array.
The Su family also quickly took action after the Zhang family members left.
They used the few resources available within the clan to repair the damaged protective formation.
Next, a funeral was held for Su Jiaru, the matriarch of the Su family.
After settling everything, he handed over most of the clan's businesses to the Zhang family.
However, they did not publicly announce that these properties were purchased by the Zhang family from the Su family.
The news that the Su family had become an affiliated force of the Zhang family was not revealed.
It's not that the Su family is unwilling, but that the Zhang family is unwilling.
Because once exposed, the Zhang family will inevitably attract the attention of various powerful forces.
At that time, it will be difficult to keep a low profile.
They will be overestimated by the Azure Sea Immortal Sect, and it will definitely become much more difficult to destroy them.
However, although this matter was not explicitly stated or publicized, it does not change the fact that the Su family is an affiliated force of the Zhang family.
Every year, 100,000 low-grade spirit stones are handed over to the Zhang family.
Of course, spiritual materials, magical artifacts, and elixirs can also be used to offset the cost.
In short, its value should not be less than 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Now that the Su family has handed over more than half of its businesses, including spiritual veins and mineral veins, to the Zhang family, their income has dropped significantly.
One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones is almost half of the Su family's annual income.
They gave quite a lot.
However, the increase in numerous industries and spiritual veins also brought happy troubles to the Zhang family.
Zhang Family Hall.
The seven elders of the Zhang family, as well as the heads of each hall, will all be gathered here.
Zhang Hongzhan sat in the main seat, rubbing his temples, unable to hide the fatigue on his face.
Looking at the crowd below the stage, he said, "Everyone, please speak up."
How should we deal with these industries and mineral deposits?
My Zhang family doesn't have that many clansmen; the family will manage these businesses.
Unless the clansmen and family members give up cultivation.
But that's simply impossible.
Ultimately, this world is ruled by strength.
Without strength, the family business will soon be seized by others.
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.
After a long silence, Zhang Zu'an, the oldest elder present, suggested:
"How about we continue with our old practice and let affiliated forces manage the Zhang family's businesses?"
"I don't think this is appropriate, Fourth Elder." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hongyi, the Seventh Elder and Head of the General Affairs Hall, frowned slightly. "Handing it over to affiliated forces is not the best option."
This can be seen from the affiliated forces that embezzled spiritual items and secretly colluded with other forces several years ago.
If Xuan Chen hadn't used swift and decisive methods to annihilate certain affiliated forces and forcibly reclaim the family's assets, the Zhang family's annual income would never have been this high.
Of course, I don't mean that the Su family is untrustworthy, but it's always good to be cautious.
It's best to keep industries firmly in our own hands.
At worst, we can train more ordinary martial artists.
Hearing Zhang Hongyi's words, Zhang Guangyao shook his head, gave a wry laugh, and said:
"It's not that simple. Ordinary martial artists need to train in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, and they also need the essence of ferocious beasts and precious medicines to temper their bodies. It's simply not something that ordinary people can endure."
Even if one could tolerate it, it's still not something an average family can afford.
Moreover, I've also heard that even ordinary martial artists have a certain innate talent; if one's innate talent is poor, it takes ten years of arduous training just to enter the ranks of third-rate martial artists.
Several years ago, the clan chief issued a policy to encourage martial arts practice, which has identified a large number of ordinary people who have the talent, ability and financial resources to practice martial arts.
Even if we issue the corresponding policies again, the number of martial artists will increase, but not by much.
Besides, my Zhang family can't wait that long.
"We can't exactly use second-tier spiritual herbs to train ordinary martial artists, can we?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall showed signs of worry.
They never imagined that the Zhang family would have too many businesses and spiritual lands, and not enough manpower in the family.
This proves the point of the saying.
Some are dying of drought, while others are dying of flooding.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhang Hongzhan, who was sitting in the main seat, revealed a smile.
He carried the core of his family's protective array with him, and at this moment he sensed three familiar and powerful auras appearing outside the array.
He immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Alright."
Forget about it. Xuan Chen is back. Let him worry about this.
