Chapter 1997: Chapter 1,993: Sword Saint’s Disciple (1/92)
Translator: 549690339
Wang Ling was well aware that today’s disciple-taking event reflected, to a certain extent, one of the inner scrolls of the upper-class cultivators in the modern cultivation world.
In the information age, the upper-class cultivators were no longer limited to their individual abilities. It wasn’t a big deal that they were strong, but the key was to have a good disciple.
If the disciple did well, the master would naturally be proud.
But in the modern cultivation world, in the scientific era where everyone practiced, there were as many cultivators as there were hairs on a cow’s back, but it was still a big problem to choose a talented person who had the same path as him.
What had happened today could be seen from another perspective how desperate the almighty cultivators were for talents.
According to the information Wang Ling had gathered, there were only two ways for the almighty to take in disciples.
The first way was to start a sect directly as an itinerant cultivator, which would allow them to pass the sect entry test and directly filter out a group of young cultivators who weren’t very good, after that, they would be selected through subsequent missions, trials, and tests, allowing these people to go from the outer sect to the inner sect step by step, and finally become true disciples.
This benefit was to cast a wide net. They could receive many disciples, and in the end, they would definitely be able to recruit satisfied true disciples to continue their legacy.
However, there were drawbacks to starting a sect.
After all, not everyone in the current sect could be like the battle sect. They had only started for less than a year and had already achieved a huge profit.
The vast majority of the sects were in a state of loss every year from the start. What they used up was the foundation that the sect master, who had started off as a loose cultivator, had accumulated over many years.
If there was one wrong step in the operation process, they would face the situation of losing both money and people.
Therefore, a few years ago, there was also a P2P sect trap. There were several famous rogue cultivators in the industry who used the name of jointly starting a sect to raise funds. In the end, there were many cases where they ran away after getting the money..
In short, the risk of starting a sect was still very high. Moreover, if it was not done properly, it would lose their financial foundation. The gains would not make up for the losses.
The operation of a sect was far from as simple as it looked. As long as it was open, it would be a huge gold-swallowing beast
Thus, itinerant master cultivators like cang long, Luo Lan, and Liu Yong had different ideas about how to manage their finances, as well as the self-awareness that their personalities weren’t enough to manage a large sect, they would choose themselves to search for the right people to take in as disciples and then cultivate them.
So in Wang Ling’s opinion, this matter couldn’t be considered in detail yet.
After all, what Li Changzhe had done in the spirit world trial grounds was definitely a secret of nine heavens precision search court. Apart from Luo Lan, who odd zhuo had deliberately contacted… how did Liu Yong and cang long know that this matter had come knocking on their door?
The answer was already very obvious — there were other people who had leaked the news in nine heavens precision search court.
After dealing with Cang long and Liu Yong in succession, grenade-throwing senior immortal knew very well that this sword saint would be a tough nut to crack.
Sword Saint Yi Jianchuan had been looking for his true disciple for a long time.
Back when he had been in the joint military training exercise of the six schools, he had even set his eyes on Wang Ling. It was only thanks to Immortal Toya’s timely intervention that sword Saint had shifted his gaze.
As a retired general, his intelligence and ability were naturally extraordinary, so it wasn’t surprising that sword saint knew of Li Changzhe’s performance in the Spirit World Trial Ground.
Teng Luchen had guessed that sword Saint had personally taught him the “Heaven-turning sword technique”. Perhaps it was after verifying it with sword saint that sword Saint had learned of Li Changzhe’s existence.
At the same time, this also highlighted li changzhe’s “Rarity”.
He had clearly never taught li changzhe the “Heaven-returning sword technique”, yet this young man was able to use it on his own!
If this wasn’t a genius, then what was! !
Wasn’t this the talented disciple that he, the sword saint, had been searching for with all his heart?
Of course, the sword Saint had also stopped pursuing his disciple for a period of time.
That was during the period when Yi Zhiyang rose to prominence.
The chairman of the Student Union of Sword God Academy, Yi Zhiyang, was also his adopted son. Although his talent wasn’t as outstanding as sword Saint had imagined, it was actually passable. In addition, he was very perceptive when it came to practicing sword techniques, therefore, sword Saint had once trained Yi Zhiyang according to the plan of a successor disciple.
But who would have thought… After the nine dragons mountain physical skill competition, Yi Zhiyang’s psychological trauma hadn’t been completely healed yet.
So now he had the idea of recruiting a new successor disciple.
Grenade-throwing senior immortal and Wang Ling’s hearts were as clear as a mirror; sword saint was the most difficult bone to gnaw on at the moment.
However, grenade-throwing senior immortal wasn’t completely helpless.
“Little Lei, you should be very clear about this old man’s standards. If you were an ordinary person, you definitely wouldn’t be able to catch my eye.”
Sword saint snorted and said, “By the way, if it’s Miss Lotus Sun that you want to recommend to this old man, I think it’s better not to… It’s not like this old man didn’t think of taking Lotus Sun as a disciple; after all, I’m quite familiar with that old fellow Sun Yiyuan. But when that old fellow heard that I had to suffer in cultivating sword techniques, he refused to trust me with his granddaughter.”
“I see.”Grenade-throwing senior immortal nodded slightly; he had actually heard about this before.
Everyone knew that grandfather Sun treasured his granddaughter like a pearl in his hand, so it was normal that he wouldn’t let her go.
In fact, grenade-throwing senior immortal felt that Lotus Sun really didn’t need to learn any sword techniques from sword saint now..
What a joke, this was the number one foundation establishment on earth..
With the nine-core Olympian sea man-sword unity passive ability! Sword Saint wouldn’t be able to defeat her if she really unleashed all her combat power!
But from the beginning, grenade-throwing senior immortal hadn’t actually been recommending Lotus Sun to sword saint.
“Don’t worry, Old Yi, the person I’m going to recommend is completely in line with your expectations.”
Grenade-throwing senior immortal smiled and said, “And this person is younger than the two people I’ve recommended before.”
“Oh? He’s a little kid?”Yi Jianchuan’s eyes instantly lit up.
He had long ago believed that since they were cultivating sword techniques, the younger they were, the better. Although high school students in their teens were very young, they were still no match for a few-year-old kid in terms of teaching.
Don’t underestimate the difference of a few years, but when you were young, it was an important time to lay a solid foundation. As long as you had a solid foundation, your future cultivation path would definitely lead you to a meteoric rise!
Grenade-throwing senior immortal naturally knew that sword saint liked children.
Apart from President Qi, who already had a wife and children, most of the ten generals were still single, and had formed a trend of adopting children..
Even if they didn’t have children, they still had to create children to take care of them. In a sense, this was the adorable side of the ten generals.
“The person I want to protect is called Wang Muyu. Although he’s young, Old Yi can rest assured that he’s absolutely reliable,”grenade-throwing senior immortal said confidently at this moment.
In fact, it was one of Wang Ling’s arrangements for him to push Wang Muyu out.
With this little guy’s talent, it was easy for him to ask Wang Muyu, this omniscient Little Dragon Man, to cultivate Sword Dao. Thus, from the very beginning, Wang Ling hadn’t actually expected Wang Muyu to learn Sword Dao by the sword saint’s side.
Instead, he hoped that this little guy could learn more from the sword saint’s awe-inspiring righteousness.
This little guy was still young, and he also needed a guide on the path of life..
Sometimes, what a person learned from another person didn’t necessarily have to be abilities, but also all kinds of spirits that were full of sunshine.
