Chapter 114: Ten Years of Spring and Autumn, Late Jindan Period (Subscription Request)
Simu was not the only one who thought so after receiving the letter from Maoshan.

Qianhe from Wanjia Town, Zhegu from Ping'an County, and other Maoshan disciples of this generation are all worried.

But all he can do is to practice hard. There is no other way!

Time flies and three years have passed.

During these three years, one more disciple of Maoshan broke through to the foundation-building stage.

It was Qianhe from Wanjia Town...

Another three years later, Simu Zhegu and others both broke through to the level of True Person Establishment.

Four years later, many other disciples stationed in various places also broke through to the realm of Foundation Establishment True Man!
Maoshan.

Another ten years passed in a flash. During these ten years, Shi Jian's cultivation did not improve much. He only reached the late Golden Core stage.

It’s not that he didn’t practice hard enough, but the spiritual energy between heaven and earth simply didn’t allow Shi Jian to practice and improve his cultivation as quickly as he did in the Qi training and foundation-building stage.

He was able to break through to the late Jindan stage because of his repeated practice of drawing on heavenly thunder.

Wu Chenzi was at the early stage of Golden Core ten years ago, and ten years later, he is still at the early stage of Golden Core. However, it won’t be long before he can break through to the middle stage of Golden Core.

In comparison, Shi Jian's progress has been very obvious.

In the Elder's Hall.

Nowadays, Shi Jian has already gotten used to his identity as the headmaster of Maoshan, and his whole body is filled with the majesty that a headmaster of Maoshan should have!

Sitting upright in the first seat, looking at the elders below, Shi Jian had a calm expression.

During these ten years, not only their cultivation had improved, but all the elders of Maoshan had also improved.

For example, the Great Elder has broken through to the level of Half-Step Golden Core.

but……

It is impossible to break through to the Golden Core stage, and one can only be like Elder Feng in the Sutra Repository, trapped in the Half-Step Golden Core stage for the rest of his life.

Unless there is a miraculous encounter, one can only wait until the end of one's life, and then his soul will enter the underworld to continue practicing.

"We are here to see the Master!"

As the elders performed the ceremony and bowed, Shi Jian smiled and asked the elders to exempt themselves from the ceremony.

“You are welcome, elders. Now that ten years have passed, there are some things that I should go down the mountain to resolve.

Of course, we can also take this opportunity to inspect the disciples stationed in various places.

If there are any unresolved issues during my absence, please go to Damao Peak and ask my master.

I wonder what the elders think?"

As Shi Jian announced his decision, the elders were slightly shocked.

Unexpectedly, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, one of their disciples has already broken through to the realm of Foundation Establishment True Person.

It is just right for him to inherit the position of elder of each of their halls.

but……

Several elders were confused about what Shi Jian said about going down the mountain to resolve some issues. They wanted to ask, but they didn't know how to start.

Even though they are Shi Jian's uncles, due to the difference in their cultivation levels, and the fact that Shi Jian's cultivation level has been getting stronger and stronger in recent years, even if it is not intentional, there is a strong sense of pressure, a feeling of oppression from being in a superior position for a long time.

Besides, is there anything in this world that the master nephew in front of him cannot handle?
They couldn't imagine it, so they had no rebuttal.

Of course, there are still some suggestions regarding the disciples stationed at the foot of the mountain.

"Please rest assured, Master, while you are away from the mountain, we will take care of all matters in Maoshan and will definitely not embarrass you.

As for going down the mountain to inspect the foundation-building disciples stationed in various places, since the head master has already decided, we naturally have no objection!"

The Great Elder said it very clearly. To put it bluntly, Shi Jian can go down the mountain and do whatever he wants, but this group of old men will take care of the affairs of Maoshan.

Obviously, everyone agreed with this result.

The meeting ended very quickly. After the elders left, they immediately sent a letter to the disciples down the mountain, stating that the master would be coming down the mountain to inspect all the foundation-building disciples.

The core content is naturally to make his disciples perform better...

There is nothing wrong with all of this. After all, the elders also know that those who should be approved will be approved. If there are really problematic disciples, Shi Jian will never turn a blind eye out of friendship with his fellow disciples.

This concerns the future prosperity and decline of Maoshan, Shi Jian will not be careless.

What's more...

It is almost impossible to hide it from Shi Jian.

On top of Damao Peak.

After Shi Jian came back, Wu Chenzi had been waiting for a long time.

"Disciple pays homage to master!"

Seeing Shi Jian saluting with a smile, Wu Chenzi just stopped.

"My disciple, there is no need to be polite between you and me. This time I came down the mountain to inspect the foundation-building disciples of each hall. There is something I want to say to you."

Wu Chenzi's expression became somewhat serious.

Shi Jian also put away his smile and listened quietly to what his master had to say.

"This time I am going down the mountain not only to examine suitable candidates for the position of elder, if possible...

You can also see who is suitable to be the next headmaster of Maoshan!
I'm afraid that sooner or later we will go to that place, so we should make some preparations in advance and arrange the affairs of Maoshan properly, which can also be regarded as resolving the knot between you and me. "

Hearing these words suddenly, Shi Jian had to admit that his master was very thoughtful.

However, Shi Jian did have such a plan, but he had not yet made a decision on who to choose as the next headmaster of Maoshan.

In his opinion, the most suitable candidates are Lin Fengjiao and Qianhe. Each of them has their own characteristics. Lin Fengjiao is knowledgeable but a little indecisive, while Qianhe is decisive but not very tactful.

The four eyes are smooth enough, but other aspects are not good enough...

Thinking of this, Shi Jian also sighed.

“Master, rest assured, I will take this matter to heart.

I will definitely not let Master take care of too much of Maoshan’s affairs.”

Wu Chenzi nodded. He had only given a reminder. Now it seemed that his disciple knew more than he thought, so Wu Chenzi felt relieved.

......................................................

Renjia Town.

After ten years, Uncle Jiu's cultivation had reached the middle stage of foundation building, and he was extremely powerful.

Under his supervision, Renjia Town prospered and there were no major disturbances caused by demons or evil spirits.

After receiving the letter from his own master in Maoshan, Uncle Jiu took a deep breath.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes, but also a hint of joy.

"I didn't expect that the senior brother would come down the mountain to inspect my fellow disciples so soon. It's hard to say whether I can pass the senior brother's approval this time..."

Muttering to himself, Uncle Jiu didn't know if he could pass the examination of his senior brother.

Of course, Uncle Jiu was also particularly happy to see his senior brother again.

Outside the house, Wencai and Qiu Sheng pushed the door open and were very surprised to see their master's expression.

When has my master ever been worried?

It seemed as if it had never happened since they could remember!

Qiu Sheng also asked casually.

"Master, what are you worried about?

There shouldn't be any demons or evil things around Renjia Town, right?"

Qiu Sheng thought that it was the demons causing trouble that made his master worried.

In response to this, Uncle Jiu's expression instantly turned serious, for he knew the personalities and temperaments of his two disciples.

His eldest senior brother is the head of Maoshan and the only remaining Golden Elixir True Lord in the world. If he were to be offended by his two disciples, Uncle Jiu himself would not be able to face his eldest senior brother.

"You two brats, let me tell you that recently, my eldest senior brother, the current Maoshan Sect Master Zhenjun, is coming to inspect the disciples stationed down the mountain.

Being a teacher is one of them!

You two, please don't do anything stupid. If you really offend your master, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between master and disciple!"

Uncle Jiu's stern words instantly stunned Qiu Sheng and Wencai.

Their nerves suddenly became tense.

Looking at Qiu Sheng and Wencai's expressions, Uncle Jiu continued speaking.

"But you don't have to worry too much, my eldest senior brother is one of the few remaining Jindan Zhenjun!

As long as you two don't cause trouble, your master uncle won't bother with you."

Qiu Sheng nodded seriously, and Wencai continued to ask weakly.

"Master, who is stricter, the master uncle or the master's father?"

Hearing this, Uncle Jiu was stunned. Thinking of what happened to Wencai ten years ago, he suddenly understood.

"Your master's uncle's power is comparable to that of nature. In terms of majesty and oppression, he is far superior to your master's grandfather.

Now you know what to do, right? "

“I know!
Master, don't worry. No matter how brave we are, we won't dare to touch Master Bo in the slightest!"

After saying that, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai also made repeated assurances, and Uncle Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Guandao Charity House.

As Simu's dojo, when he learned that his senior brother was about to go down the mountain, his whole personality changed drastically.

Almost every day I get up in a proper manner...

Jiale also found it very strange, but when he learned from his master that his great master, who was the head of Maoshan, would most likely come to the temple in the near future, Jiale was also shocked.

He had heard his master often sing the praises of this great master's divine power!
Even when his own master couldn't win an argument with Master Ikkyu, he would bring up the name of this great master, causing Master Ikkyu to become silent instantly.

Although Jiale didn't know what this great master represented, he knew that he must be a Taoist elder who was more respected and virtuous than his own master!
So there is no need to say more, just remember it in your heart...

As the head of Mount Maoshan and one of the few Golden Elixir True Lords in the world, the news that Shi Jian was about to go down the mountain was not only spread among the disciples of Mount Maoshan.

Almost the entire world knows that the Thunder King who has been silent for more than ten years is about to step down!
All forces were also shocked by this. When Shi Jian toured the world, almost all cultivators, demons and evil spirits below the Golden Core stage remembered the name of Shi Jian, the King of Thunder and Lightning.

This descent of the mountain will surely create a huge stir.

Jinshan Temple.

Under the Leifeng Pagoda, Xuankong, who had been guarding the seal, was also surprised to hear the news that Shi Jian had gone down the mountain!

　Okay, all the previous preparations have been completed. From here on, we will officially enter the plot. You don’t have to worry that the monsters in the plot are too weak. Don’t worry, it will not be that easy to pull out the radish and bring out the mud.

It's another four chapters with 12,000 words. It's really tiring to write 10,000 words every day...

I hope everyone will support me by subscribing. Thank you very much if you are willing to support me with monthly tickets!
