Chapter 51: Accepting a Second Disciple



"A few days ago, a casual cultivator came to me." Wen Yang explained the whole story in a low voice, "He said that Kunlun was planning to buy the information about the traitor at a high price."

"This is really strange." Jiang Li'an said with a click of his tongue, "A traitor in the Orthodox Church leaked the sect's information to the Demonic Church, and then the Orthodox Church went to the Demonic Church to buy the traitor's information?"

"After all, Qiu Changtian is now the treasure of Kunlun Taiqing Sect." Wen Yang also sneered, "And the bounty information is so detailed that even the characteristics and defects of his practice are clearly marked. How can the Kunlun high-level officials sit still?"

"They can't do anything about the bounty, but if Qiu Changtian is not allowed to go out, there won't be any worries. But the damn traitor is still in the sect, which is a bigger hidden danger."

"That's why you plan to sell Songhe to Kunlun." Jiang Li'an nodded.

Wei Dongliu listened quietly at the side and gained a deeper understanding of the Demon Cult.

In a nutshell: profit comes first.

Even the orthodox church knew this, so they specially commissioned a casual cultivator to pass on the message to see if they could buy information about the traitor - Wen Yang actually planned to accept it, which shows that as long as the benefits are enough, there is nothing that cannot be done.

"I recorded the information in this jade slip." Wen Yang took out a jade slip and threw it to Wei Dongliu. "The question now is how to use it to trade with Kunlun."

"Among the three orthodox sects, Kunlun Taiqing Sect is the most hypocritical." Jiang Li'an also sneered, "When dealing with Taiqing Sect, don't worry that they will attack you directly, but be sure to beware of hidden arrows from behind."

Wei Dongliu: ...

Come on, how did Kunlun Taiqing Sect treat the evil cult members? How could I not know it?

No one understands Kunlun better than me!

"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Wei." Wen Yang glanced at Jiang Li'an again, "After the matter is done, you can ask Brother Jiang to bring you to find me."

Jiang Li'an sneered in his heart. Wen Yang was still worried and hinted that he would guarantee Wei Dongliu.

But according to her observation, Wei Dongliu was not the kind of person who would be blinded by money... Of course, even if she was wrong, she had her own way to distance herself from Wei Dongliu.

So she just remained silent.

Seeing that she agreed, Wen Yang was relieved, and heard Wei Dongliu say:

"However, I was planning to recruit a disciple today... Is this not urgent?"

"I believe that Brother Wei will not keep me waiting for long." Wen Yang said tactfully.

These words were so ambiguous that even the shameless Witch Jiang couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"By the way, what kind of disciples do you plan to recruit, Brother Wei?" Wen Yang continued with a smile, "I have lived in Heluo and Jinnan for a long time, maybe I can help... Of course, if you want to find disciples with extraordinary talents, that will be a bit difficult."

"You don't need any extraordinary talent." Wei Dongliu waved his hand, "As long as you are smart, tactful, and good at talking, that's fine."

Jiang Li'an chuckled, and Wen Yang felt a little embarrassed and slightly annoyed when he heard it.

He thought Wei Dongliu was making a sarcastic remark about him, but looking at Wei Dongliu's expression, it didn't seem like that. He noticed a sarcastic smile on Jiang Li'an's face and immediately realized that he was overthinking.

"I see." Wen Yang said seriously, "So Brother Wei is planning to recruit a disciple to handle the mundane affairs of the sect?"

"That's right." Wei Dongliu said.

"I recommend looking for one among business families." Wen Yang said with a smile, "Because business people have to deal with all kinds of dignitaries and people from all walks of life, so they are more flexible in both their behavior and their work... The only drawback is that it is extremely difficult to find one with better talent for cultivation among them."

"That's fine." Wei Dongliu said, "Just don't make it too bad."

Wen Yang knew what was going on. He estimated that Wei Dongliu was not looking for any disciples, but just wanted to find a registered "worker". He immediately smiled and said:

"That's good, we can go to Luoyang first."

The three of them flew up from the mountain on their swords, and heard Wen Yang say:

"In terms of business, Luoyang is much richer than Guanzhong and Jinzhong. There are 120 wealthy merchants in Luoyang. Their family backgrounds are extremely prominent. They often send various resources to my sect, hoping to let their children enter the Dao."

"However, there are not many disciples in their clans who have the aptitude to practice Taoism. If you don't mind, Fellow Daoist Wei, I will take you two to visit these families."

After arriving in Luoyang, Wen Yang took the two to the Wang family residence.

In terms of wealth in Luoyang, the Wang family is probably the number one. The patriarch, Wang Lin, is currently the Minister of Finance of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it can be said that he is "extremely powerful."

Of course, compared with the immortal cultivation families such as the Xu family of Tiannan and the Guan family of Longxi, they are far inferior... These families have basically completely severed their dependence on the secular regime, while the Wang family is still pursuing status and power in the court.

Upon hearing that Wen Yang, the elite judge of the Yin Gui Dao, was coming to visit, clan leader Wang Lin, who was taking a break today, immediately came out to greet him and asked with great trepidation about the purpose of the immortal's visit.

"I have nothing to do with you." Wen Yang pointed to Wei Dongliu beside him and said, "It's my fellow Taoist who wants to find a registered disciple from you to handle the mundane affairs of the sect."

Wang Lin hurriedly ordered the servants to notify all the young men in the clan to come over and stand in a row in the courtyard, allowing Wei Dongliu to choose.

Wei Dongliu looked at everyone carefully.

Most of the people here are under 20 years old. The reason is probably that the older ones have been screened through round after round and have basically been confirmed to have no talent for practicing Taoism.

There are more girls than boys, which is clearly a little trick of the Wang family head - if Wei Dongliu likes beautiful women, then girls are more likely to win the bid; if not, it doesn't matter.

As Wei Dongliu's eyes swept over, most people bowed their heads respectfully, while a few boldly looked up at him. A few pretty ones even blinked, wanting to flirt but not daring to, looking pitiful.

"A Jing." Wei Dongliu asked in his sea of ​​consciousness, "What are these people's talents in cultivation?"

"The third and fifteenth in the first row; the twenty-second in the second row, their talents are considered the best among these people." Kunlun Jing replied, "But they are only okay in comparison. If these three people go to Kunlun Taiqing Sect to become disciples, I guess they won't even be able to reach the threshold of outer disciples."

"That's for sure." Wei Dongliu disagreed, "Only the orthodox sects consider aptitude when recruiting disciples. We in the Demon Sect teach everyone, so it's enough if the talent is barely enough."

He raised his arm and pointed out the three people scanned by the Kunlun Mirror one by one, motioning them to step out.

The two young men in the first row were both handsome and weak. Wei Dongliu chatted with them for a while and found that they actually had a good foundation in poetry and literature... Unfortunately, they had been studying since childhood and had almost no experience in handling clan affairs.

The second row was occupied by a young girl. Her appearance was not extremely beautiful, and was completely different from that of Witch Jiang and the demon Wen. But compared to the looks of others, she was indeed dignified and decent.

It's just a pair of pitch-black eyes that are always rolling around, and he doesn't look honest.

"May I have your name?"

"My name is Wang Xun," the girl replied.

Jiang Li'an frowned slightly, because the original meaning of "苁" is "climbing plant", which has a derogatory meaning.

Seeing this, Wang Lin quickly explained:

"She is the daughter of my fourth brother. She was given a cheap name so that she can be raised more easily."

This is of course a whitewashing excuse. In fact, it must be because he was born out of wedlock, so the name was not given much attention.

Wei Dongliu ignored all this and just continued to ask:

"Have you discussed it before?"

"I used to run a medicine shop under my mother's name." The girl had already noticed that this immortal seemed to particularly like "people with business experience", so she added on her own initiative, "On weekdays, I accompanied the shopkeeper grandfather to buy medicinal materials, bargain, deal with patients seeking medical advice, and collect debts..."

"Alright, alright." Wei Dongliu waved his hand and said, "It's you!"
