Shen Lang flew for more than half a month and finally reached the boundary of Piaomiao Mountain.
This place is extremely far away from Tongyou Mountain, and Shen Lang used Huayishen Mud to change his breath many times along the way. It is expected that even a master at the Nascent Soul stage would not be able to trace his whereabouts.
Shen Lang first found a barren mountain to rest for a few days. After his mental energy recovered, he went out to learn more about the Piaomiao Mountain boundary.
Piaomiao Mountain is a well-known spiritual mountain holy land in Yunjian Continent. It is very rich in the spiritual energy of the five elements and has beautiful bells and souls.
The "Wanlong Mountain", "Juque Gate", "Lingjiu Palace" and "Tianquan Sect" of the Eighteen Immortal Sects in Hokuriku stand here. The four sects compete with each other for spiritual veins.
Both belong to the Eighteen Immortal Sects of Hokuriku, and the four sects have existed for a long time. Even if they fight openly and secretly in private, they have reached a consensus to restrict competition with each other.
Shen Lang wandered around the Piaomiao Mountain for a week, trying to find a suitable place to have a baby, but he never found a good place.
In fact, there are several mountains where Nascent Soul can be condensed, but they are not safe.
Because if you want to conceive a baby, you need to meditate for a long time without being disturbed.
On the premise of ensuring your own safety, it is a safe move to have a baby with peace of mind.
Those places where the Five Elements spiritual energy is relatively abundant are either occupied by large or small sects or are private territories.
Even some barren hills with better conditions are often occupied by casual cultivators.
Shen Lang really couldn't find a suitable place, so after thinking about it, he decided to sneak into a large sect.
Of course, he will not join the sect, he just wants to get in and find a suitable spiritual place to have a baby.
Based on Shen Lang's understanding of the sect, there are many disciples who have been in seclusion for many years.
As long as he successfully sneaks in and starts retreating, there should be no problem.
I have transformed into divine mud, so even the old monster at the Nascent Soul Stage cannot see through my disguise.
After making up his mind, Shen Lang was thinking about which sect would be better to join.
"Wanlong Mountain", "Juque Sect", "Lingjiu Palace" and "Tianquan Sect" are the first choices. After all, they are the Eighteen Immortal Sects of Hokuriku. These four sects cover the largest area, and each sect has several spiritual sects running through it.
Pulse, the five elements are extremely full of spiritual energy.
Shen Lang asked around about these four sects.
Wanlong Mountain is famous for its magic skills. Its disciples are good at the secrets of magic skills and are the most powerful. They are ranked tenth among the Eighteen Immortal Sects in Hokuriku. There are three ancestors in the Nascent Soul Stage in the sect.
Juque Sect is a sect famous for its sword-controlling skills. Its unique skill "Meteor Sword Technique" is famous in Yunjian Continent. It ranks eleventh among the Eighteen Immortal Sects in Hokuriku. There are three ancestors in the Yuan Ying period in the sect.
Lingjiu Palace is famous in the Yunjian Continent for its methods of controlling beasts and formations. It ranks fifteenth among the Eighteen Immortal Sects in the Northern Territory. There are three ancestors of the Nascent Soul stage in the sect.
The Tianquan Sect is more complex. The disciples of the sect learn a lot of alchemy, weapon refining, and formation techniques. However, the overall strength of the sect is not bad, so it barely ranks at the bottom of the Eighteen Immortal Sects in Hokuriku, ranking first.
Eighteen.
There are two Yuan Ying stage ancestors in the door.
First of all, the three sects of Wanlong Mountain, Juque Sect and Lingjiu Palace have stricter requirements for new disciples.
Those who enter halfway are even more strict and must go through various checks and confirm their identity before they can officially enter.
Only the Tianquan Sect has a relatively loose entrance, and many casual cultivators who cannot survive have defected to this sect.
Tianquan Sect also treats everyone equally and has a good reputation.
Shen Lang inquired in many places, and after much consideration, he felt that it would be safest to sneak into the Tianquan Sect.
Mainly because Shen Lang felt that there was an opportunity to exploit, and the Tianquan Sect gave special treatment to specialized alchemists.
The alchemist of Tianquan Sect only needs to sit in the cave to refine the elixir, and deliver the elixir to the sect within the specified time.
Moreover, the alchemist enjoys a very good quality spiritual cave with a quiet environment and will not be disturbed.
As long as a sufficient amount of elixirs are delivered, the alchemist can stay in the cave spiritual land for many years and remain in seclusion for decades without any problem.
All these advantages made Shen Lang decide to join the Tianquan Sect.
The timing is just right, Tianquan Sect recruits new disciples every July, they can be highly talented monks in the Qi refining stage, or they can be casual cultivators with a certain level of cultivation.
There is only half a month left until July.
During this period of time, Shen Lang wandered around the Fangshi Chamber of Commerce in the Piaomiao Mountain area every day, collecting a large number of things needed for retreat, as well as some alchemy materials and equipment, and even purchased a large number of elixirs.
The task of the alchemist of Tianquan Sect is to deliver a certain amount of elixirs on time. As for how the elixirs came from, the sect will not ask.
In addition, Shen Lang also purchased a large number of array equipment.
Within a few days, Shen Lang bought everything he needed and was fully prepared.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
The day has finally come when Tianquan Sect recruits new disciples once a year.
Tianquan Sect stands on the highest peak in the northwest of Piaomiao Mountain, occupying two large spiritual veins. The entire sect stretches for thousands of miles, shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
Today, the gate of Tianquan Sect was extremely lively, with thousands of monks coming to pay homage to the sect.
Most of them are cultivation in the Qi refining period, and a small part are casual cultivation in the foundation building period.
As for the monks in the alchemy stage, there is no one.
Generally, casual cultivators in the alchemy stage will not easily join a sect.
Even if there are, they are recruited by the higher-ups of the sect, and there will definitely not be anyone who has completed the Eight Sutras in the Dan-Jie stage to participate in the entry-level selection.
Shen Lang blended into the crowd and used the Yi Shen Mud to transform into a round-faced strong man, suppressing his aura in the later stage of foundation building.
It is relatively easy and safe to sneak into Tianquan Sect with this level of cultivation.
Alchemists in the later stages of foundation building will also receive better treatment.
After all, Tianquan Sect is also one of the Eighteen Immortal Sects in the Hokuriku and has relatively high requirements for the disciples it recruits.
There are probably only a few clear requirements.
First, don’t accept ordinary people.
Second, if the applicant's cultivation level is below the foundation building stage, he or she must be no more than fifty years old and must be in the late Qi refining stage.
Anything below this standard will not be collected.
Third, if the applicant is a casual cultivator whose cultivation level is higher than the foundation-building period, his or her identity will be checked, and after it is confirmed that there is no problem with his or her identity, he or she will be admitted.
As for those who want to become an alchemist of the Tianquan Sect, they also need to take an assessment. Only after passing the assessment can they have the status of an alchemist of the Tianquan Sect.
When the time came, an old man in a gorgeous robe flew into the air.
This old man is responsible for the recruitment of new disciples of Tianquan Sect, and his cultivation level is in the middle stage of foundation building.
Outside the gate of Tianquan Sect, all the monks participating in the selection were silent, waiting for the old man's speech, "Welcome to our Tianquan Sect. I believe that all of our colleagues know the rules for recruiting new disciples, so I won't waste any more words.
Now, please ask those comrades with single spiritual root potential points higher than 60 points to come forward first, and you will be given priority for selection!" the old man said loudly.
