Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"Is it only the Human Alliance that can do this?"

Hearing Gu Taixuan's words, Zhang Yan sighed helplessly.

He actually really wanted to resolve this matter.

Don’t say anything else.

At the very least, he wanted to give Qingluan a chance.

After all, even in a place like the Southern Wilderness, Qingluan was able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.

Give her a bigger stage, and she might just be able to enter the Dharma Realm.

and also……

These were his mentors, including Mo Changqing and Zhuge Wan, who had helped him.

He wanted to give them something in return if he could.

"This is certainly not something that we in the Central Plains can solve." Seeing Zhang Yan's disappointment, Gu Jingsong also spoke helplessly: "Think about it, if we in the Central Plains could solve this, would we still need to ascend to the Immortal Ranks?"

"What you said..."

That makes sense.

Zhang Yan agreed with what the other party said.

Indeed, if the other party has the ability, then the path to immortality is not so important.

"I was too hasty. It seems I'll have to figure something out later." Although Zhang Yan said this, he also knew that if he entered the assessment...

So returning to this world probably won't be easy.

Otherwise, the Central Plains would probably not be dominated by the Dharma Aspect Realm.

There are very few who have reached the state of true self.

Even the few remaining states of true self are almost all dormant.

They will only act when they are needed.

"Let's focus on forming the core first," Zhang Yan said to Gu Jingsong after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, the most urgent task is indeed to form the core first."

However, you need far too many spiritual items to form your core, and many of them are quite rare and probably cannot be bought with spirit stones. I will need to help you exchange them.”

Gu Jingsong looked at the list Zhang Yan had made and felt a bit of a headache. Then he thought for a moment and said, "It might take me a year or two to prepare these things. I'll wait until you come back then."

You can now go and say goodbye to your former master.

After all, once you go to the Human Alliance, you'll have to pay a heavy price to come back.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to come back at all.

Gu Jingsong patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder and said.

"Yes, I understand." Zhang Yan nodded, agreeing with the other person's words.

If he really went to the Human Alliance and went to the Great World.

If he wants to come back then, it might be quite troublesome.

"I want to collect some more things in the Central Plains before going back," Zhang Yan said to Gu Jingsong after thinking for a moment.

"Cultivation techniques?"
magic weapon?

"Inheritance?" Gu Jingsong asked Zhang Yan with a smile.

"Inheritance, it's all about inheritance!" Zhang Yan said without hesitation.

The cultivation traditions in the Central Plains are indeed more advanced than those in the Southern Wilderness.

If he could take some of the inheritance with him, it would make the cultivation world of the Southern Wilderness even more advanced.

"Go ahead, do you need any help?" Gu Jingsong asked Zhang Yan.

"This can help too?" Zhang Yan asked in surprise.

"Of course, there are many traditions in the Central Plains, and the Heavenly Dao Alliance also has many traditions. Although many traditions are top secret, most are common. Even the rarer ones might be allowed to be taken away by you."

Gu Jingsong smiled and said to Zhang Yan, "Moreover, in the Central Plains, although cultivation methods are precious, apart from the core methods of each sect, the rest can be traded."

"Thank you very much!"

Upon hearing what the other person said, Zhang Yan nodded quickly.

joke.

Since the other party can give it directly.

Why did he still have to go and search for them one by one?

Isn't that a waste of time?

His time is very precious and cannot be wasted on such trivial matters.

"Don't mention it, you just need to participate in the assessment properly." Gu Jingsong took the assessment very seriously.

It's fair to say that he was willing to compromise on everything for the sake of the assessment.

And the reason is very simple.

Because Zhang Yan was chosen by him.

Moreover, his godfather, Gu Taixuan, also approved of Zhang Yan and recommended him.

So when Zhang Yan achieves results, the two of them deserve credit.

However, no results were released.

They've given Zhang Yan so many generous benefits now; if he fails the assessment, then the two of them will also be held responsible.

With Gu Jingsong's help, Zhang Yan quickly acquired a large amount of knowledge and skills.

There were over a hundred dishes.

It contains all sorts of traditions.

There are techniques related to cultivation.

There are those involved in weapon crafting.

There are also inheritances in alchemy, formations, and other related fields.

Although these traditions are not the most advanced in Middle-earth.

But it can still be considered a first-class tradition.

Moreover, none of these things belong to the five major sects.

Instead, it belongs to the cultivation techniques passed down by some extinct sects.

Therefore, even if Zhang Yan takes him away, no one will pursue him because of it.

"Thank you very much, Senior Gu." After receiving the inheritance, Zhang Yan once again expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the other party.

If we give him combat power and magical weapons, it's to enhance his combat strength so he can participate in the assessment.

Then these inheritances are a testament to the other party's sincerity.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the other party's sincerity is truly remarkable.

Very sufficient.

Thinking of this, he quickly thanked the other party.

"Don't mention it, just do your best then." After saying that, Gu Jingsong left.

Zhang Yan left the Heavenly Dao Sect.

They did not go back immediately.

Instead, it first sent a signal.

This signal was sent to Musen.

After all, they came together, so naturally they should go back together.

As his signal was transmitted.

Zhang Yan waited for more than ten days.

Just when he was about to lose all his patience, Musen finally arrived.

"Senior Brother Mu." Upon seeing Mu Sen, Zhang Yan paused for a moment, then spoke with some surprise.

It's been years.

At this moment, Mu Sen had changed his clothes.

Now, he looks somewhat ragged, and his face shows signs of hardship.

"Looks like you've been doing pretty well lately," Zhang Yan said, looking at the other person with some surprise.

Although the other person looked a bit ragged, they were in very good spirits.

He looks more energetic.

"It's alright. I've gained a lot of knowledge and skills during this time, which our Qingheng Sect should be able to use." Mu Sen looked at Zhang Yan with a smile on his face.

“Perfect timing, I’ve also collected some inheritances, let’s go back together first,” Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"You've also collected some inheritances. Aren't you in the Heavenly Dao Sect?"

After you join the Heavenly Dao Sect, can you still return to the Azure Heng Sect?

Mu Sen's tone was somewhat complicated as he spoke, and his gaze toward Zhang Yan was wary.

Although I don't want to.

However, he had reason to suspect that Zhang Yan might have betrayed Qingheng.

Such things are definitely not uncommon in the world of cultivation.

"Don't worry, I didn't betray the sect." Seeing Mu Sen's gaze, Zhang Yan was speechless: "Do I look like someone who would betray the sect?" "Although I went to the Heavenly Dao Sect, strictly speaking, I didn't join them, but chose to represent the Heavenly Dao Sect." Zhang Yan thought for a moment and explained to Mu Sen.

"Representing the Heavenly Dao Sect?"

Yes, it's too complicated to explain in just a few words. I'll tell you about it when I get back.

All you need to know is that I have a cooperative relationship with the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Now it's not that I need them, but that they need me.

Therefore, they were relatively lenient with me. For example, I carried over a hundred top-tier inheritances from the Central Plains, all of which were given to me by the Heavenly Dao Sect.

"what?
They gave over a hundred top-tier inheritances?
so much?"

Although Mu Sen didn't know what Zhang Yan meant by cooperation.

However, judging from the fact that the other party was willing to give him more than a hundred first-class inheritances.

The other party's sincerity is indeed very great.

But damn it.

Isn't the Heavenly Dao Sect a sect at the Dharma Aspect Realm?

No.

It's not just the realm of Dharma appearance.

Mu Sen had been mingling in the Central Plains for several years, and he knew that there were definitely cultivators at the True Self Realm within the Heavenly Dao Sect.

In other words, the other party is a sect at the True Self Realm.

This is insane!

Zhang Yan is only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet he's already able to cooperate with a sect at the True Self Realm.

Moreover, it seems that the other party is very sincere towards him.

This is too scary!

Indeed, a genius is a genius wherever they go.

Think of this.

Musen suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

damn it.

He worked so hard for so long to obtain more than a dozen inheritances, and only three of them were first-class inheritances.

Unexpectedly, he was instantly defeated by Zhang Yan.

Although it was bitter.

But he was still very happy.

It's clear from Zhang Yan's attitude that the other party hasn't forgotten the Qingheng Sect.

I haven't forgotten him either.

This is a good thing.

"Alright, let's go back and talk about it." Zhang Yan and Mu Sen didn't actually try to hide their presence; they went straight back to the Southern Wilderness.

The reason is also very simple.

They have already alarmed the Heavenly Dao Sect.

The opposing side has an unknown number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and even Dharma Aspect stage and True Self stage cultivators.

If the other party really wants to spy on Zhang Yan and his companion's whereabouts.

No matter how hard they try to hide, it's no use.

Since that's the case, we might as well be more open and honest.

At the very least, leave a good impression.

After all, respect is mutual.

They were teleported back into the black hole through the teleportation array.

They then arrived in the underground world.

Emerging from the underground world.

Several mermen immediately surrounded them.

Next up were the frogmen.

These people, holding magical artifacts, watched Zhang Yan and Mu Sen warily.

But when they saw Zhang Yan and Mu Sen's faces clearly, they all knelt down.

Immediately afterwards, a long rainbow flew in.

He is a cultivator at the Golden Core stage.

"Uncle-Master Zhu." Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Zhang Yan quickly called out.

The other party was one of the Golden Core cultivators in the Qingheng Sect.

"Master Zhang!" Upon seeing Zhang Yan, the cultivator surnamed Zhu looked at him with some surprise: "You haven't been seen for so long, have you come to the underground world?" The cultivator surnamed Zhu did not know about this black hole.

All he knew was that the underground world was incredibly rich.

"Yes, that's right. We've made a new discovery, and we might need to report it to the sect leader." Zhang Yan smiled and nodded, neither denying nor confirming the other's statement.

"The sect leader is in the sect. You can see the sect leader when you go back, Zhang Zhenchuan."

The cultivator surnamed Zhu spoke very politely to Zhang Yan.

Although Zhang Yan was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, in his eyes, Zhang Yan had long been regarded as being on the same level as himself.

No.

It was even taller than me.

after all……

There are some rumors circulating within the sect that Zhang Zhenchuan and Junior Uncle Qingluan have a very close relationship.

He didn't even know what this "close friend" meant.

But the relationship is definitely not simple.

This one point alone was enough for him to elevate Zhang Yan's status.

not to mention.

The other party is the mountain lord of Taiyi Mountain, whose status is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

In addition, their potential is indeed very strong.

Advancing to the Golden Core stage is a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, he is very rational.

"Thank you." Zhang Yan thanked Mu Sen afterward.

They quickly left the underground world.

Then they went directly to the residence of the Qingheng Sect leader.

They led Mu Sen in without any politeness, and then a roar came from inside the residence.

Zhang Yan and Mu Sen ran out in a very disheveled state.

Behind them was Mo Changqing, who was cursing and swearing.

Then, there was... Zhuge Wan...

"You two brats, can't you knock?" Mo Changqing asked the two with a gloomy expression.

"You didn't set any restrictions!"

Zhang Yan said to Mu Sen with some grievance.

"Just because there are no restrictions doesn't mean you can just walk into other people's homes!" Mo Changqing was furious when he heard this.

These two guys are truly lawless.

"Then, are you someone else?" Zhang Yan asked leisurely, seeing Mo Changqing's expression.

"Hmm?" Mo Changqing frowned at first, then his emotions calmed down considerably.

Seeing this, Mu Sen quickly seized the opportunity and said, "In our hearts, you are just like our grandmaster, so we went straight in."

"What you're saying makes sense. We really don't need to be so formal. Let's let it go this time, but next time please remember to knock before you come in!"

Mo Changqing glared at the two of them fiercely and said.

"Yes, yes, yes, the sect leader is right. But, sect leader, when do you plan to become Daoist partners with my master?" Zhang Yan replied with a smile, and then asked.

"You little brat, how dare you make fun of your master?" Zhuge Wan couldn't help but laugh when she heard Zhang Yan's words.

“Actually, we should have become Daoist partners long ago, but the two of you have always been missing. Now that you are both here, we can start planning the wedding,” Mo Changqing said after considering it seriously.

"Then congratulations to the sect leader and congratulations to the master."

Zhang Yan and Mu Sen exchanged a glance and quickly offered their congratulations.

"By the way, didn't you two go to the Middle Kingdom?"
Why are you back so early?
Has something happened?

"Let me tell you, although the people of the Central Plains are formidable, our Qingheng Sect is not to be trifled with either. If you suffer a loss, just tell us. If you can defeat them, we'll seek revenge. If you can't, we'll pack our things and run away as quickly as possible," Mo Changqing asked the two with a smile.

"Actually, the trip to the Central Plains went quite smoothly." Hearing Mo Changqing's words, Zhang Yan was quite moved. The atmosphere of the Qingheng Sect was indeed very good.

"And you two?" Mo Changqing heard that everything went very smoothly, but he didn't know why Zhang Yan and the others had returned.

"The reason I came back is because I might have to leave," Zhang Yan said after a moment of silence. (End of Chapter)
