"Shall we invite the old man over to discuss this?" Zhang Yang murmured. If Yan Yefei was to be cultivated as an outsider loyal to the Zhang family, that would be one thing, but this matter was clearly of great importance to the Zhang family, and Zhang Pinglu absolutely had to know.

"That's fine!" Zhang Daofeng nodded in agreement, and Zhang Yun'an also expressed his approval. Zhang Pinglu was the highest in seniority and the strongest among them, the true pillar of the family; such a matter had to be relayed to him.

However, neither of the two moved; they both looked toward Zhang Yang. Zhang Daofeng already knew that Zhang Yang had reached the Great Perfection stage.

His own grandson achieving such a height at such a young age felt like a dream to him. His feelings mirrored Zhang Pinglu's: the better Zhang Yang developed, the happier they were; it was the glory of their entire Zhang family.

"The Old Man will be here shortly!" After a moment, Zhang Yang softly spoke. Those at the Great Perfection level possessed their own method of connection, utilizing the energy of heaven and earth to communicate even over a distance.

Of course, this distance wasn't extreme—within two to three li was fine, anything further was difficult. The reason Zhang Daofeng and Zhang Yun'an hadn't moved earlier was precisely this; they knew Zhang Yang could notify the Old Man, who was currently not in the villa but in the back mountain.

Not long after Zhang Yang finished speaking, Zhang Pinglu jumped directly in through the window. Outside, Yan Yefei and Li Juan cautiously poked their heads in, tense about what was happening inside.

As soon as Zhang Pinglu entered, Zhang Yang explained everything that had just transpired, voicing his own thoughts: Zhang Yang genuinely wanted to bring these two into the Inner Strength cultivation world. It was rare, perhaps unprecedented from ancient times to the present, for individuals possessing such supreme physiques to marry without entering the Inner Strength cultivation world.

Furthermore, if they didn't enter the cultivation world, they would either be separated or die—neither outcome appealed to Zhang Yang, who had already experienced the allure of love. Therefore, he was inclined to help them.

If the Old Man truly disagreed, he would have to entrust someone else to facilitate this, allowing them to join another sect to learn cultivation, with him providing the Marrow Cleansing Pills. In any case, he was unwilling to see a bad outcome for them, especially since Yan Yefei had performed commendably when Zhang Yang was missing and had not abandoned him either.

After listening, Zhang Pinglu was silent for a while. After a few minutes, he finally looked up and asked, "Are both of these individuals among the Five Great Physiques?" "Yes, one has the Tribulation Enduring Physique, and the other has the Phantom Shadow Physique!" Zhang Yang immediately nodded.

Their ages were certainly not young; Yan Yefei was approaching forty, well into his mid-thirties. Training at this age would yield suboptimal results.

Even with a supreme physique, too much time had been wasted. Zhang Pinglu nodded, turned back, and said to Zhang Yang again, "Yangyang, if I asked you to establish a Sect, would you be willing?" "A Sect?" This time, it was not just Zhang Yang who was stunned; Zhang Daofeng and Zhang Yun'an were equally surprised.

Zhang Pinglu glanced at them and said softly, "Establish a Sect belonging to the Zhang family. The Zhang family has too few core disciples—this has been true for over a thousand years and might remain so.

With low numbers, even supreme strength cannot grant true dominance!" Zhang Daofeng and Zhang Yun'an both nodded in agreement with Zhang Pinglu’s words. Their Zhang family suffered precisely because of their small numbers.

If not for this, how could others dare openly bully Zhang Yang when they knew they were Fourth Layer experts? Everyone clearly remembered the demeanor of the Four Great Families during the Dragon family's lowland incident.

At that time, they looked down upon the Zhang family. While Zhang Yang's rise, coupled with their violent elimination of the Hu-Yan family, had brought some change, the fundamental lack of respect for the Zhang family remained in their bones.

With few members, the Zhang family was destined to decline again within a few generations. In contrast, no one dared to lightly provoke the members of the Dragon or Li families.

"Establish the Medical Sage Zhang Sect. The core of the Zhang Sect will be dedicated to serving our Medical Sage lineage.

The Zhang Sect will not be large, but the position of Sect Master must be held by a member of the Zhang family. Once the Zhang Sect has grown, it can find a mountain retreat to develop quietly, while our core Zhang family disciples will remain as before!" Zhang Pinglu continued.

His proposal resembled establishing an external branch sect for the Zhang family. The difference was that this branch would consist solely of Inner Strength cultivators, unlike previous branches that lacked Inner Strength practitioners.

"I think it's feasible. Cultivating a few disciples to form the Zhang Sect, while keeping the core inheritance as before, will not disrupt the structure of the Zhang family and allows for continued development, while adding a powerful external force!" Zhang Daofeng nodded first, and after a moment, Zhang Yun'an also nodded.

Establishing an external branch sect had many advantages, but the greatest risk was the inability to control the branch, leading to internal strife. However, this possibility was unlikely since the external branch would lack the Guardian, and their roots remained with the Zhang family, needing their protection.

Another crucial point was that Zhang Yang was now at Great Perfection and, with the aid of the Sustenance-Avoidance Pills, could live for at least another two hundred years. With him personally overseeing things for this duration, it would be enough time for a new sect to forge its own cohesion and culture.

During this time, they could become indistinguishable from the Zhang family, easily resolving potential hidden dangers. Many disciples in other major sects had no blood relation to the main lineage, yet the sects persisted, relying on their unique cohesion and culture.

"I actually had this idea before, but I never voiced it. Now that we have the resources from the Hu-Yan family, developing a true sect is not difficult.

Since Yangyang wants to fulfill their wish, let it start with them. Although they are older, their physiques are decent, and they can become the elders of the Zhang Sect, guiding more disciples in the future!" Zhang Pinglu spoke again, effectively approving the matter of the couple's cultivation.

Zhang Yang's brow furrowed deeply. He was willing to agree with Zhang Pinglu’s words but did not want to create some Zhang Sect as Zhang Pinglu envisioned.

He was not a man who craved power. Creating a brand-new sect would be exhausting; he would rather spend that time accompanying Mi Xue, traveling the world.

"Yangyang, the task of establishing the Zhang Sect must fall to you. However, if you lack the time, you can have Yun'an and Daofeng help you instruct them.

But if you do this, you must ensure that once the framework is set, all these disciples are properly cultivated!" Zhang Pinglu laughed heartily, seeing through Zhang Yang's reservations with a single glance. He had no recourse regarding Zhang Yang's laziness.

He had heard about those research topics; a hands-off manager like Zhang Yang was rare. It seemed the matter of establishing the Medical Sage Zhang Sect would fall to them to manage; binding Zhang Yang with this was not easy.

However, they would not intentionally burden Zhang Yang. The most important thing to them was his development.

Now that Zhang Yang was at Great Perfection, his task was to advance quickly to the late Fourth Layer, then challenge the great threshold of the Fifth Layer. Once Zhang Yang reached the Fifth Layer, not only would the Zhang family's prestige soar, but the newly established Medical Sage Zhang Sect could also develop rapidly, eventually becoming a new force among Inner Strength cultivators.

Zhang Pinglu, in this instance, was essentially merging the Sect concept with the Noble Family structure; the final outcome was still unknown. "Old Man, since you put it this way, I cannot object anymore!" Zhang Yang smiled and nodded.

As long as he was merely a figurehead and not involved in the affairs, it was fine; the responsibility for the external branch's development would be left to his maternal uncle and maternal grandfather. For him, the main thing was not to be truly shackled.

With Zhang Yang's agreement, the matter was effectively settled. The few of them discussed the name for this external branch.

Medical Sage Zhang Sect didn't sound good; Medical Sage Sect or Medical Sage School sounded too vulgar. Finally, Zhang Yang suggested a name that was very fitting and satisfied everyone.

Medical Sage Martial Sect (Yi Sheng Wu Zong). The term Wu Zong indicated the identity of this external branch; their primary future focus would be Inner Strength and martial arts.

As for medical arts, that would remain the fundamental inheritance of the Zhang family itself. However, not all medical arts would be withheld.

If some disciples showed interest, they could learn portions of the Zhang family’s medical knowledge. Besides a small number of self-created formulas and inherited medicinal prescriptions from their ancestors, much of the rest could be practiced by the Martial Sect disciples.

If they performed well, they could even be granted the surname Zhang in the future, similar to the Dragon family, which would better foster their loyalty to the clan. Of course, these matters were not accomplished overnight but were long-term work.

Making the Medical Sage Martial Sect truly famous and developed required the accumulation of time. As they were speaking, Zhang Yang's eyes suddenly narrowed.

A green system interface automatically appeared. This time, unlike before, a new major category was visible.

Besides Abilities, Pets, Knowledge, Missions, and Data, a new category named Sect had been added. Within Sect, the name Medical Sage Martial Sect was displayed.

The Sect had no level, but it listed personnel introductions, though currently, there was only one: Zhang Yang's name. Below that, there were three selectable names: Yan Yefei, Li Juan, and Qu Meilan.

All three could be selected to become figures within the Sect. Seeing this, Zhang Yang had already guessed the function of this new category.

This was a classification system specifically created for the Medical Sage Martial Sect, appearing because of Zhang Yang. The system indeed had a deep connection to reality; if this sect had not been created today, this category would not have appeared.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Yang ticked the boxes next to Yan Yefei and Li Juan’s names; both names immediately lit up. Through the system's description, Zhang Yang understood that these two had officially become disciples of the Medical Sage Martial Sect.

Even without an initiation ceremony, the system had already acknowledged them. "Ding-dong!" A crisp sound rang out again.

As Zhang Yang was smiling, his expression quickly fell, turning extremely unpleasant. "Yangyang, what's wrong?" Zhang Pinglu and Zhang Daofeng, who were nearby, noticed his distress and immediately asked.

"I'm fine. You all carry on; I'll go inform those two and officially accept them into the sect." Zhang Yang shook his head slightly, though inwardly he cursed; this damned system had finally revealed its detestable side.
