Taking in Lu Guanying as a Disciple in the South
The Mount Tai Meet ended just like that. Some of the Quan Zhen Sect members packed up and left in a grandiose manner.
Li Zhichang did not return to the Quan Zhen Sect. He wanted to go to the southern part of the Great Song to train and visit Duan Zhixing at the Heavenly Dragon Temple in Dali.
Seeing that Li Zhichang did not return to Quan Zhen Sect, Qiu Chuji and Ma Yu talked about it and finally asked Li Zhichang to go to the south to manage the affairs of Quan Zhen Sect.
As mentioned before, Quan Zhen Sect's foundation in the south was very weak and could not make a name for themselves. Quan Zhen Sect's foundation was in the north but everyone believed that Great Song was the orthodox sect so they had to leave their legacy in Great Song.
Now, the Quan Zhen Sect was the dominant sect in the north. After all, the Quan Zhen Sect was only established after the Jin Dynasty was established. They did not follow the Taoist Faction to the south.
The Great Song Dao Sect had the Talisman Sect, Clarity Sect, Inner Alchemy Sect, Southern Sect, Donghua Sect, Shenxiao Sect, Qingwei Sect, and other Dao Sects.
Strictly speaking, Quan Zhen Sect belonged to the pure Yang lineage of the Inner Elixir Sect and Lu Dongbin was their ancestor. However, because they had become a martial arts sect, the Dao Sect did not have a good impression of Quan Zhen Sect.
Therefore, the South was quite powerful in the martial arts world, but they could not interfere in the religious world.
Ma Yu asked Li Zhichang to head to the south to spread his religion. Once he opened up the situation, he would be a great contributor to Quan Zhen Sect. By then, the sect leader of Quan Zhen Sect would belong to Li Zhichang no matter what.
Before leaving, Ma Yu gave Li Zhichang a letter and asked him to give it to a person from the Li family in Lin 'an. This person was very senior.
He was at least on the same level as the Seven Sons of Quan Zhen Sect and was already in his fifties. Back then, Wang Chongyang's army failed and the remaining Bu Zhong was disbanded. This person from the Li family was called Li Yi and was one of Wang Chongyang's subordinates.
As he didn't have much martial arts talent and wasn't interested in becoming a monk, he went to the south to do business. He borrowed the development of Quan Zhen Sect and some of the leaders of some forces to become rich.
Every year, they would contribute 5,000 taels of silver to Quan Zhen Sect.
Li Zhichang's sword was broken when he fought with Qiu Qianren. In the letter, he asked Li Yi to go to Longquan to order a sword that could match the Quanzhen Divine Sword.
In fact, Li Zhichang already had a clue about the swords. He didn't know if Dugu Qiubai had started to use them.
In the future, Yang Guo encountered the sword tomb more than twenty years later. Now, it was uncertain whether he had died in the sword tomb.
"Senior Brother, where are we going?" The one who spoke was Li Huai. Ma Yu had already acknowledged him and made him an outer disciple of Quan Zhen Sect. The inner disciples had grown up in Quan Zhen Sect since young.
Li Huai did not have any martial arts. He had just cultivated the Quanzhen Great Dao Song and had some internal energy. He did not meet the requirements to enter the inner sect. Therefore, he followed Li Zhichang to the south this time.
The two of them rode horses. Although Li Huai was a junior brother, he was similar to a servant. He was responsible for Li Zhichang's three meals a day and carried his luggage.
Li Huai was also willing to do so. After all, it was Li Zhichang who brought him out of the hands of those human traffickers and gave him a different life. His future was full of " light." It was no longer as dark and hopeless as before.
All the way down south,
On the way, they met Lu Chengfeng and his people from Taihu Lake. They were also heading south from Mount Tai. As they did not come out of Taihu Lake, they did not travel fast. They wanted to enjoy themselves.
"That's the Quan Zhen Divine Sword-level Taoist priest in front!”Lu Chengfeng's eyes lit up when he saw Li Zhichang and his companion riding over. He immediately shouted.
When Li Zhichang and Li Huai heard the voice, they immediately rode their horses to Lu Chengfeng and said," It's me! It's the Villa Head Lu of Cloud Returning Villa! Nice to meet you!"”
"Hahaha, it's my honor to meet Cultivator Li. Guan Ying, greet Cultivator Li!”
Lu Chengfeng asked his son, Lu Guanying, to bow,
At this time, Li Zhichang realized that there was another person who looked similar to him beside him. He was also very handsome, but he had practiced the Arhat Fist of the Immortal Cloud Sect and had some masculinity.
"Lu Guanying of Cloud Village greets Great Swordsman Li!”
Li Zhichang immediately said,"I'm speechless. We're about the same age, so there's no need to bow. Just call me Cultivator Li."
"Don't mention it. Your strength is worthy of this title. I wonder where Cultivator Li is going? This was not the way to Quan Zhen Sect!”
Lu Chengfeng said,
Li Zhichang said," Manor Head Lu, I'm here to receive the Quan Zhen Sect's Sect Leader's orders. When I go to Jiangnan to establish the Quan Zhen Sect's orthodoxy, I hope Manor Head Lu can support me."”
When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he asked," So that was the case. Quan Zhen Sect was no longer in the Song Dynasty, so it was only right for them to go to the Song Dynasty to build their own sect. It was even normal for them to move the Zhongnan Mountain back to the Song Dynasty.
My Cloud Returning Manor is willing to do our best to support you in establishing your orthodoxy.”
When Li Zhichang heard this, he immediately cupped his hands and said,"Thank you, Manor Lord Lu!"”
Since they were going the same way, most of the roads from Mount Tai to Taihu Lake overlapped. Li Zhichang was also willing to go with Lu Chengfeng.
After all, they were a large group of people who had brought their own chefs to spend the night in the wild. They did not have to eat hard dry rations. They could even enjoy the treatment of Lu Chengfeng in some inns. It was much better than walking alone. Li Zhichang's current status in Jianghu could be said to have entered the group closest to the front.
Although Li Zhichang was lucky enough to win against Qiu Qianren in the Mount Tai Meet, a win was a win. No one would say anything.
Not long after, Lu Chengfeng revealed his true intentions. On that day, he vaguely asked if Li Zhichang would accept disciples. Li Zhichang was baffled and said that he was not old enough to accept disciples and would not accept disciples for the time being.
For several days, Lu Chengfeng seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Finally, he laid his cards on the table. He wanted Li Zhichang to take Lu Guanying as his disciple, and he wanted him to be a layman disciple. After all, he was the only son of Li Zhichang. It would be bad if he lost his son.
Lu Chengfeng was not a fool. He could let Lu Guanying join the Quan Zhen Sect's Seven Disciples and be on the same level as Li Zhichang. However, how could that be compared to becoming the disciple of the Quan Zhen Sect's next leader?
Especially since Li Zhichang's status in the martial arts world had already surpassed the Seven Disciples of Quan Zhen Sect before he even reached the 20th year of his youth. He was now approaching the Five Uniques.?
Therefore, it would be best if he acknowledged Li Zhichang as his master. As for Master Kumu of Lu Chengfeng's Immortal Afterglow Sect, he was nothing. The outer disciples of various sects and secular disciples all charged tuition fees.
Therefore, he had spent his entire life serving the sect as an outer sect disciple. The Cloud Returning Manor had given the Immortal Cloud Sect a large amount of money to learn this little bit of martial arts. The Immortal Cloud Sect had not suffered a loss. The other party had nothing to say about changing his master.
Li Zhichang thought about it and decided to accept a disciple. After all, he was a storyline character and his influence in Jiangnan would be of great use to Li Zhichang and Quan Zhen Sect. Hence, he agreed.
