Chapter 30: Exceptional Personal Transmitted Disciple

"Why, why?"

Gongsun Yang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly spoke.

"Although this old man is merely a Third-Rank Alchemist, and my realm is not very high, my attainment in the Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy Method has already reached Small Success; even refining Third-Rank High-Grade Pills, I have several parts confidence, so do not worry that I cannot teach you."

"Moreover, before long, this old man will reach Foundation Establishment, and at that time, with the status of Elder Steward of Jade Cauldron Peak, I can let you directly become an Outer Disciple of Jade Cauldron Peak; within a few years you can advance to Inner Sect Disciple, no need to participate in any Selection — this is also beneficial to you!"

Yu Zhangsheng smiled bitterly; to other Disciples, this was indeed a One Step to Heaven opportunity.

But he did not want to become an Outer Disciple of Jade Cauldron Peak!

Currently the Inheritance Mountain Peak he had chosen was Yushou Peak; if he became an Outer Disciple of Jade Cauldron Peak, then he would be unable to join Yushou Peak again, unable to obtain the subsequent cultivation methods, and would also need to switch to cultivating Jade Cauldron Peak methods.

Once one joins a certain Inheritance Mountain Peak, wanting to switch to another peak becomes difficult, so Yu Zhangsheng did not want this Personal Transmitted Disciple identity.

Wanxiang Sect has many disciples; identities can be divided into two categories: one is the sect identity, namely Outer Peak's Outer Disciples, Inheritance Mountain Peak's Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and Chief Disciples.

The other is the master-disciple identity of each Elder accepting disciples, divided into Ordinary Disciples, Inner Chamber Disciples, Personal Transmitted Disciples; these disciples' starting point is Outer Sect Disciple, later wanting to advance, they either rely on their Master's status, or still rely on themselves.

For example, if a certain Inheritance Mountain Peak's Peak Master takes a fancy to you and accepts you as a Personal Transmitted Disciple, then your identity in the sect can leap to become Chief Disciple; in terms of seniority you can compare to many Protector Elders.

And Wanxiang Sect disciples after graduating from cultivation generally have two roads to choose: one is external posting, becoming the sect's Envoys in Wuzhou, collecting resources for the sect, guarding some Small Sects.

The other is to continue staying within Wanxiang Peak, becoming various Peak Elders, various Hall Elders; these Elders have identities such as Teaching, Steward, Protector, Grand Elder, Supreme Elder.

This is Wanxiang Sect's huge framework, not to mention there are also Elders guarding Fang Cities, spirit veins, Secret Realms and other places.

Yu Zhangsheng spoke respectfully: "Disciple has some talent in Beast Taming, wants to become Yushou Peak Outer Sect Disciple; the Pill Dao is merely auxiliary to me."

Hearing this, Gongsun Yang suffered a great blow, glared and said: "You want to become a Beast Tamer?"

"The Beast Taming Path is merely a minor path; my sect's Yushou Peak has declined for hundreds of years, in recent years not even a single Golden Core True Person has emerged, while my Jade Cauldron Peak ranks third, still has a living Sub-Talisman True Lord, Golden Core True Persons number several, deep foundation incomparable to Yushou Peak."

"Listen to this old man's advice, do not waste your talent in Alchemy; Jade Cauldron Peak is your best choice!"

Gongsun Yang spoke earnestly: "This old man was originally a First-Rank Mortal, favored by heaven, taken from the fields by my Master, only at twenty-three did I contact the Immortal Cultivation path; with Three-Element Mixed Spirit Root able to reach today, all relies on this Alchemy Art."

"Moreover Jade Cauldron Peak is famed for defense, can block a hundred with one; the most important thing in Immortal Cultivation is survival means; learning Beast Taming has no day of rising above; those Demonic Beasts are ultimately external power, not as good as oneself being strong."

"Speaking of Spirit Root you are stronger than this old man; speaking of Alchemy your talent makes this old man unable to catch up to your dust; after joining Jade Cauldron Peak, not to mention Foundation Establishment, even achieving Golden Core is possible!"

Gongsun Yang rarely encountered such a thousand-years-hard-to-find Alchemy Odd Talent, how could he willingly give up, let Yushou Peak have him! Jade Cauldron Peak is his beautiful future!

However, Yu Zhangsheng remained unmoved, because from beginning to end he knew his foundation was the Beast Taming Path; without the Essence it provided, even joining Jade Cauldron Peak his future would be limited.

Moreover Alchemy to him was too simple; saying this out might provoke countless Alchemists' anger, but to him it was reality.

Because this thousand-years-rare Alchemy Odd Talent of his was precisely Essence points added on!

Seeing this scene, Gongsun Yang understood Yu Zhangsheng's Dao Heart was firm.

He had already waited several decades; wanting to find another person more suitable than Yu Zhangsheng to inherit the Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy Method was too difficult; thus after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since it is so, this old man will not force you to join Jade Cauldron Peak; still accepting you as disciple with Personal Transmitted Disciple identity, thus are you willing to pay respects to Master?"

A Jade Cauldron Peak Elder, his Personal Transmitted Disciple actually is not of Jade Cauldron Peak origin.

This counts as opening a sect exception! Teaching Elder's Ordinary Disciples are many, origin doesn't matter, anyway pay spirit stones and can learn; but Inner Chamber Disciples, Personal Transmitted Disciples must be particular, will not easily accept, and even if accepted will choose disciples from their own Inheritance Mountain Peak.

Because no one would teach their bottom-of-the-box unique skills to other peaks!

Among Wanxiang Sect's Five Inheritance Peaks relations are not harmonious; actually still competitive relations; why would Yushou Peak decline, isn't it because disciples are no good, above no Sub-Talisman True Person to fight for resources.

Like the most resource-rich Yujian Peak, Ba Dao Peak, competition flies high, year after year fighting inseparably for resources.

In comparison, Jade Cauldron Peak is the most leisurely; above has a Sub-Talisman True Lord, and no fool would offend Alchemists; only need to earn spirit stones, refine pills, cultivate.

And Spell Technique Peak situation slightly better than Yushou Peak, after all inside many Formation Masters, Talisman Masters; sect's Protective Great Formation, Transmission Arrays etc all need them to maintain.

Yu Zhangsheng hearing Gongsun Yang's words, greatly shocked, stared straight at the other party.

Did not expect the other party for the sake of accepting a disciple, actually broke convention.

This made Yu Zhangsheng's heart move; after all having a Third-Rank Alchemist as Master is also a backer in the sect, and he also needs the subsequent methods of Three-Fire Refinement Cultivation Method.

Thought a bit, Yu Zhangsheng felt hundred benefits no harm; not agreeing would instead be a bit ungrateful; thus opened mouth and paid respects: "Disciple pays respects to Master."

"Good!" Gongsun Yang's face finally once again revealed a smile; only this smile contained some regret, heartache for Yu Zhangsheng's choice.

Yushou Peak cannot be supported up; wait until this disciple of mine crashes his head, this old man will again thicken face to find Peak Master to discuss, can still let him transfer back to Jade Cauldron Peak.

Just will waste the time currently cultivating Jade Cauldron Peak methods.

Forget it, forget it; he is still young, let him venture a bit.

"Since you have paid respects to me as Master, these all count as Master's gifts to you; inside are the Three-Fire Refinement Cultivation Method's subsequent methods and insights, also some Pill Formulas Master collected."

"Also this bottle of Qi-Increasing Pills you take; still four months plus until Sect Selection; you chose Yushou Peak, Master also cannot directly let you become Outer Sect Disciple, can only rely on yourself."

Gongsun Yang beamed with joy, shoved everything into Yu Zhangsheng's hands, and also instructed: "Master has seen many talents, among them not lacking shooting-star-like Yaozi, but they all died in the end; even Master's Master was the same."

"The Cultivation path lies in Longevity; Longevity is not easy; must act cautiously."

"Your Master could outlive so many talent Yaozi, relies on just this point!"

Yu Zhangsheng opened mouth wide; did not expect the other party was like him, both are Qi Path Practitioners!

He looked again at the resources shoved into his hand, unpromisingly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hurriedly shouted: "Many thanks Master! Disciple will certainly be careful and cautious."

Gongsun Yang nodded, very satisfied, then said: "Hmm, come, Teacher will introduce another disciple to you."

"He also counts as your Junior Brother."
