A white flying boat carried Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai towards Xianxia Peak, the center of Lanzhou.
As the headquarters of the Xianxia Sect, Xianxia Peak is called a mountain peak, but it is actually a huge landmass. It got its name only because this continent has endless fairy mountains.
Among the many fairy mountains, the main peak of Xianxia Peak is the most majestic and spectacular.
Neither Su Ming nor Gong Xiaocai came to Xianxia Peak for the first time.
It's just different from the previous two times he came here. This time, Su Ming is a new inner sect disciple and wants to formally select an inner sect elder from the Xianxia Sect to become his master.
In fact, as a disciple such as Su Mingjia, Su Ming would have the opportunity to worship within the inner sect's walls as long as he was an inner sect elder who was interested in recruiting disciples.
But what Su Ming is looking for is not a powerful master. What he wants to find is a master who is low-key enough, preferably a master who doesn't care much about his apprentices.
Because unlike other inner sect disciples, Su Ming does not need much support from his master.
To put it bluntly, even though the Xianxia Sect claims to have three thousand fairy mountains and over a thousand Jindan elders, there are probably only a few who can truly defeat Guang Yuanzi.
Such support from his master is indeed dispensable to Su Ming.
However, due to the sect regulations of the Xianxia Sect, if Su Ming wanted to continue his promotion within the Xianxia Sect, it was inevitable to join the inner sect and become a disciple of an inner sect elder.
Su Ming had also thought before that he might as well become a disciple of Wang Xuanjian, the newly promoted Nascent Soul monk.
But in the end, among the inner sect elders who recruited disciples, there was no Wang Xuanjian at all.
Su Ming then realized that not every time an outer sect disciple was promoted to an inner sect disciple, all the inner sect Jindan elders would come out to accept disciples.
In fact, compared to Su Ming who was unwilling to become a disciple, Elder Jindan of the Inner Sect was the one who really did not want to accept a disciple.
After all, accepting a disciple who is in the middle stage of foundation building will not only provide no help to a Jindan elder, but will also expend a lot of energy in cultivating this disciple, which is really not cost-effective.
However, for the sake of the sect's inheritance, the Xianxia Sect stipulates that each Jindan elder must accept enough disciples. Otherwise, it will be regarded as disregarding the sect's laws and regulations, and the consequences will be quite serious.
Because of this, even if there are many Jindan elders who are unwilling to accept disciples, they have no choice but to choose disciples among the newly promoted inner disciples.
After all, the disciples you choose yourself are always much better than those forced by the sect.
The white flying boat is very fast.
Half a month later.
The two landed on a sub-peak mountain range of Xianxia Peak.
This is the place where new inner sect disciples wait for their selection by the inner sect elders.
Although the inner sect elders select disciples and the inner sect disciples join the sect, it is a two-way choice.
But there are very few inner disciples who dare to choose another master after Elder Jindan picked him.
After all, no one knows the temperament of the Jindan elder who picked him. If he offends a Jindan monk, his life in the Xianxia sect will be difficult in the future.
"Shengxian Palace!"
Gong Xiaocai raised her head, looked at an immortal palace standing on the flat dojo, and whispered to the three big characters on the plaque of the immortal palace.
It wasn't just Su Ming, there were streaks of escaping light flying towards the Ascension Hall in the sky one after another.
It won't take a moment.
The originally deserted dojo was crowded with newly promoted inner disciples.
Looking at it with a wide eye, there are at least more than a thousand.
"As expected of the first sect in Daqian!"
On the side, Gong Xiaocai was filled with emotions.
Su Ming nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, there are more than a thousand newly promoted inner disciples in one year alone."
But thinking about the three peaks and five realms of Lanzhou, there are three avenues in Yaoyuanshui alone.
These three Taoist academies send tens of thousands of outer disciples to the Xianxia Sect every year, and the Taoist academies in Lanzhou add up, and the number of new outer disciples who join the Xianxia Sect every year is even tens of thousands.
.
With such a huge base of outer sect disciples, more than a thousand inner sect disciples are born every year. This shows that it is not easy to become an inner sect disciple in the Xianxia Sect.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that many outer sect disciples have completely relaxed after joining the Xianxia Sect and have no intention of making progress.
After all, cultivation is accompanied by endless loneliness and suffering, and there are very few people who can persevere on this path.
This is also the reason why the Xianxia Sect gives top priority when recruiting disciples.
Su Ming and his two men were just about to enter the Ascension Hall.
The two deacon disciples who were in charge of guarding in front of the palace gate stopped Gong Xiaocai, then raised their hands to Su Ming and said, "Senior brother, only inner disciples are allowed to enter this place."
Hearing this, Su Ming glanced at Gong Xiaocai.
Gong Xiaocai smiled at him and said: "Brother Su Ming, you go in first, I'll wait for you outside the hall!"
"good."
Su Ming nodded and walked directly into the hall without talking nonsense.
Enter the Shengxian Hall.
As expected, there is something special inside. From the outside, it looks like just an ordinary hall, but when you enter it, you find that there is a different world inside. The area inside is much larger than Su Ming expected.
More than a thousand inner disciples of Xianxia Sect entered it, but they still seemed sparse.
"Oh, Master, hurry up! I'm going too late this year, and I won't be able to recruit suitable disciples!"
High in the sky, two figures quickly passed by.
It's just that of these two figures, one is quite anxious, while the other is leisurely.
I saw him holding a wine gourd in one hand. He raised his head and took a sip of wine. He burped and said with a mouth full of wine: "If you can't recruit, you can't recruit. I'm not in a hurry as a teacher. Why are you in a hurry?"
"
The monk holding his sleeve in front of him and flying in the air was very tall, like a brown bear standing upright.
Hearing the Master's nonchalant words, the monk in front of him slapped his forehead suddenly and said: "Master, you have forgotten that if you don't recruit any more disciples, according to the rules of the Xianxia Sect, you will be deprived of your position as an elder.
"
"Well"
Hearing this, the old man behind him who only cared about drinking paused his movements slightly, laughed and said, "Don't worry, good disciple, how could I forget this, Master? Just sit still!"
After saying that, he threw the wine gourd in his hand and pulled his disciple, who was as strong as a brown bear, to step on the wine gourd. Then it turned into a ray of light and flew quickly towards the Shengxian Palace.
As the escaping light landed in the dojo of Shengxian Hall.
Except for Gong Xiaocai, the dojo in Nuoda was empty.
When the Jindan elder saw Gong Xiaocai, he asked curiously: "Little doll, what are you doing here?"
"Elder, this disciple is waiting for someone."
Hearing this, a hint of teasing flashed across the face of the Jindan elder, and he said with a smile: "Are you waiting for your lover?"
Who knew these words immediately made Gong Xiaocai blush with embarrassment.
"Master!!!"
Next to him, the disciple who was as strong as a bear couldn't bear it anymore, "Have you forgotten what you want to do?"
"Uh, yes, yes, choose a disciple!"
The old man with a blush on his face and a drunken face hurriedly walked into the Shengxian Palace.
Just stepped into Shengxian Palace.
The Jindan monk's face finally turned serious.
No matter how careless he was, he did not dare to be careless when it came to choosing a disciple, especially when his Xiao Lin Feng lineage only had a single seedling.
Entering the Shengxian Hall, the Jindan monk first took out his elder nameplate.
In the Xianxia Sect, from the headmaster to the outer disciples, the identity plate is an extremely important item.
This thing can not only prove the identity of the monk, but also complete the exchange of various information.
For example, right now, the peak master of Xiaolin Peak discovered a good prospect through his elder nameplate!
"First-class disciple!"
The heartbeat of Xiaolin Peak Master almost slowed down by half a beat.
He is actually a first-class disciple!
As the saying goes, it is better to arrive early than to arrive wisely. This time, he arrived early and wisely!
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Beside him, the burly monk who sensed something was wrong with his master turned his head and spoke loudly.
However, Bai Ti ignored his apprentice and saw that he immediately used a cleaning technique to cleanse his unkempt appearance.
Coupled with his cultivation in the middle stage of Jindan, he does have the flavor of an immortal.
"Ahem, don't follow me yet!"
Bai Ti glanced at his apprentice and ignored his aggrieved look. He stretched out his hand and found a handful of floating dust in his hand. He then flicked the floating dust away, raised his legs and walked towards Su Ming.
"Little baby, what's your name?"
Bai Ti walked up to Su Ming and asked with a smile.
"My surname is Su, but my given name is a memorable inscription."
"Su Ming, what a name!"
Bai Ti shook off the dust and immediately gave Su Ming a thumbs up, "I, Bai Ti, Tian is the master of Xiaolin Peak. I want to accept this little friend as my disciple. What do you think?"
Bai Ti tried her best to keep her tone amiable, but she still couldn't hide the urgency in her words.
There is no way, who can make it possible for other Jindan monks to rush over at any time?
He just came one step earlier than other Jindan monks.
If other Jindan monks knew that there were Class A disciples in the Immortal Hall today, they would have been waiting here long ago.
A first-class disciple means that he will definitely become a golden elixir monk in the future.
Having a golden elixir-level disciple is a big help even to the golden elixir elders.
Su Ming pondered for a moment and asked: "May I ask this elder, what does Xiao Lin Feng do?"
"Good question!"
Hearing this question, Bai Ti's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "You know that the elixirs grown by the Xianxia Sect are expensive, right?"
Su Ming nodded.
"Xianxia Sect's elixir cultivation is all under the control of me, Xiao Linfeng!"
Hearing this, Su Ming couldn't help but be greatly moved.
It didn't matter to him who he wanted to be his master, but when he heard that the Xiaozhu Peak Master in front of him was actually in charge of the cultivation of the Xianxia Sect's elixirs, he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Planting elixirs is not a trivial matter for any sect.
Unlike casual cultivators, the reason why the sect's supply of elixirs is stable is not only the large number of alchemists in the sect, but also another important reason, that is, the sect has a stable supply of elixirs.
If casual cultivators want to buy second-level elixirs or above, it often depends on their luck.
It's bad luck, the elixir is out of stock, no matter how many spiritual stones there are, I can't buy the second-level elixir.
But for a large force like the Xianxia Sect, there is no shortage of second-level elixirs. Even the third-level elixirs, the Xianxia Sect has a stable supply.
It’s just that the supply of second-level elixirs is not as sufficient.
And all of this depends on the sect’s cultivation of elixirs!
Now, the Jindan elder named Bai Ti actually said that he is responsible for the cultivation of elixirs for the entire Xianxia Sect. It must be said that this is a very important position within the sect.
Generally speaking, unless the sect has absolute trust in a certain elder, it is impossible to hand over such an important position to him.
If Bai Ti is a spy of a hostile force, all he needs to do is burn up all the elixirs with a fire, and the Xianxia Sect will be severely weakened in an instant.
This injury was so serious that it even had a far-reaching impact than the loss of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
After Bai Ti announced her door, she looked at Su Ming with confidence.
Sure enough, Su Ming didn't even think about it, and directly raised his hands in greeting and said: "Disciple is willing to accept Elder Bai as his teacher!"
Bai Ti supported Su Ming and said with a smile: "It's better to wait until we return to Xiaolin Peak to give you the apprenticeship ceremony."
After recruiting Su Ming, Bai Ti had no intention of recruiting more disciples. He immediately sent a message to the strong disciples he had brought: "Let's go back first!"
Bai Ti's disciple, who was as strong as a bear, didn't understand why the master had just come to the Ascension Hall, recruited a disciple and then rushed back.
But the master's order cannot be violated. Xiong Li knows that the master must have his reasons for doing this.
Sure enough, the three of them had just walked out of the Immortal Palace.
One after another, the golden elixir monks arrived late in their escaping light.
"Senior Brother Bai, have you finished selecting your disciples?"
Bai Ti greeted with a smile: "We have finished picking, but there are not many people who are close to each other. There is only one person, alas."
Hearing this, the golden elixir monk pursed his lips and said with a smile: "That's Senior Brother Bai, you have a high vision, unlike me."
After that, he shook his head and said, "Junior Brother, let's go and select disciples first. Come to our Immortal Saint Peak another day, and I'll treat Senior Brother Bai to a drink."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Bai Ti smiled politely.
Just when Bai Ti was about to leave with Su Ming and Xiong Li, Su Ming immediately said: "Master, wait a minute!"
Seeing that Su Ming had not officially become a disciple, he quickly changed his tune. Bai Ti couldn't help but feel more satisfied with Su Ming.
"My good disciple, what else can I do?"
Su Ming cupped his hands and said, "My sister is still waiting for me. Master, do you think you can take her away with you?"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Bai Ti looked in the direction of Su Ming's finger and couldn't help but smile, "I'm afraid you're not my lover's sister."
After that, Bai Ti said with a smile, "Forget it, then take her with you. When she is promoted to an inner disciple in the future, she will also come under my sect's walls to save you from being uneasy."
"Thank you, Master."
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
The relationship between master and disciple is comparable to the close relationship between Taoists and Taoists in the world of immortality. Su Ming really felt something about it at this moment.
You must know that in the Xianxia Sect of Nuo University, Gong Xiaocai is an outer disciple and is unfamiliar with the place. If he bumps into an expert he cannot afford to offend, it will be too late.
Therefore, what Su Ming wanted to do was to bring Gong Xiaocai to join the same master so that he would be taken care of in the future.
But before he could say these words, the elder Bai in front of him had already seen through everything.
Not only did the other party see through it, he even promised to join Gong Xiaocai's door after he was promoted to the inner sect.
It can be seen that Bai Ti treated Su Ming as a new disciple extremely favorably.
