The most intelligent general in the world

Zhang Liang was stunned, and his heart instantly burst into joy, but then he changed his mind and forced himself to suppress the joy.

What kind of good thing is this? Zhang Liang doesn't believe that Bei Mingzi would take out the elixir seeds that his Taoist ancestors had collected with great effort just for Xiao Meng.

"Senior, if you have any request, please tell me directly!" Zhang Liang couldn't help but say seriously.

"Okay, my requests are not many, just three!" Bei Mingzi said with a smile.

Hearing that there were only three requirements, Zhang Liang cursed inwardly. This old man was indeed very kind on the surface, but he would never do a business that would lose money.

After a little thought, Zhang Liang found that he could not resist the temptation, so he said directly: "Senior, please tell me clearly!"

"First, as I said before, you must be responsible for providing Xiaomeng with the elixirs she needs for her future cultivation!"

"Second, you need to set up a formation to gather spiritual energy in front of my Tianzong Mountain Gate and build a medicine garden."

"As for the third point, let's not talk about it for now!" Bei Mingzi replied with a smile on his face.

Zhang Liang considered it for a while and felt that the first and second conditions proposed by Bei Mingzi were still within the acceptable range. It was not difficult for him to set up the spirit gathering array and the medicine garden.

But he was worried that once his ability to set up formations was exposed, it might attract too much attention and become coveted by others.

Not every immortal master is as reasonable as Bei Mingzi. Although he is well-known in the Seven Kingdoms, it is not enough to attract the attention of those high-ranking immortals. But if he sets up a formation for the Taoist sect, the influence will be quite large. Once he attracts the attention of those old monsters, who knows who will come to catch him regardless of his status, and then it will be a problem whether Zhang Liang can escape.

"Why, is it difficult?" Bei Mingzi continued with a smile, "Then let's change to the third condition. If you can agree to the third condition, all the resources of my Taoist Tianzong will be at your disposal!"

"Senior..." Zhang Liang smiled bitterly helplessly. He had already guessed what Bei Mingzi was going to say next.

Before Zhang Liang finished speaking, Bei Mingzi said, "As long as you join our Taoist Tianzong, you will become the next leader of our Tianzong. When you can surpass Chisongzi, you will inherit the position of leader!"

"I won't force you to hand over your ancient heritage to our Tianzong now, but now the heaven and earth are separated, and it is impossible to live forever. Everyone will die one day. I am afraid that my old bones will not see the day of your death, and I will not force you!"

"If you are willing, leave a legacy for the Tianzong; if you are not willing, by then you will definitely be one of the strongest in the world, and no one will be able to force you!"

Zhang Liang smiled even more bitterly. Although Bei Mingzi did not forcibly seize his inheritance, he just used a more tactful way.

Bei Mingzi's wishful thinking was very accurate. If Zhang Liang joined the Taoist Tianzong, he would be the leader of the Tianzong in the future. As time went by, his feelings for the Tianzong deepened, and sooner or later he would leave some of his skills to the Tianzong.

Moreover, Bei Mingzi saw Zhang Liang's aptitude, and his cultivation level had improved by more than one level in a short period of time, so it was almost certain that he would reach his level in the future. However, the talents of Tianzong were dwindling, and almost no one in the next generation of disciples had the talent to be promoted to this level. Only Xiaomeng seemed to have such aptitude, but Xiaomeng was too young, and there were too many uncertainties.

Among the various schools of thought, whether or not there are masters of the immortal realm on land in charge is a qualitative difference. With them, the sect can grow and develop steadily; without them, it is inevitable that it will be suppressed by other families and even face the risk of extinction.

Even if Zhang Liang ultimately failed to ascend to the realm of immortals on earth, just relying on his two unique skills of alchemy and formation, once he joined the Tianzong, it would be a great bargain for the Tianzong.

Seeing that Zhang Liang was still hesitant, Bei Mingzi continued, "If you join our Tianzong, I will protect you before you grow up. After you grow up, you can protect Tianzong and get our resources. What else do you have to consider?"

"Senior, I agree!" Zhang Liang suddenly said firmly.

He agreed to join Tianzong not on impulse, but after careful consideration. Joining Tianzong would not make him lose anything, nor would anyone restrict his freedom. Instead, he could gain many benefits. At least he would not have to worry about which old monster would come to visit him one day, and he could also use the power of Tianzong to search for cultivation resources.

"What did you say? You agreed to join Tianzong?" Bei Mingzi, who originally wanted to find more reasons to convince Zhang Liang, couldn't help but be surprised to hear this answer.

"Yes, I agree to join Tianzong." Zhang Liang smiled and replied: "Senior, you are right. The path of cultivation is originally a process of mutual help. Today you help me, and I will help Xiaomeng in the future. Today Tianzong helps me, and I will repay Tianzong in the future!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Bei Mingzi praised repeatedly, and then continued: "Today, on behalf of the master, I will accept you as my disciple. From now on, you are a disciple of our Tianzong. When we arrive at Tianzong later, we will hold a formal initiation ceremony!"

"Disciple greets senior brother!" Zhang Liang readily agreed and immediately bowed to Bei Mingzi.

“Hahaha…” Bei Mingzi laughed happily, and then said, “Junior brother, please stand up!”

Zhang Liang smiled, looked at Xiao Meng who was curious, and said jokingly: "Xiao Meng girl, call me uncle-master!"

"Hmph!" Xiao Meng turned her head and ignored Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang didn't care about this. He thought that children would get used to it after spending more time together.
