I smiled bitterly in my heart at the same time, not knowing how to deal with this.
Subconsciously, he wanted to find a way to detect malicious intent. After all, this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing is not normal no matter how you look at it. It usually has an agenda and must be guarded against.
But after a second thought, I decided to give up this idea.
After all, the other party is a foundation-building monk, so it is not difficult to see these little tricks. If the "cheap master" is angered by this, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble, so it is better to take a look first.
Logically speaking, he is a disciple of Heling Sect.
I believe that no matter what happens, I won’t jump into a pit.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong decided to agree and talk about it later.
"Disciple Lu Zhong, pay homage to the master!" Lu Zhong said, and bowed down in a very sensible manner.
"Very good! From today on, you are my disciple Shui Ni." The female cultivator named Shui Ni helped Lu Zhong up. She looked up and down and became more and more satisfied. She handed out a magic bead and said, "This one is four.
The spirit bead can resolve the spiritual conflict of the four spiritual arts, so it should be regarded as a meeting gift given to you by the master."
When other people in the palace saw this scene, their reactions were different.
Wei Tie and others were just surprised, which was a reaction that normal people should have. Only the young man in white had a stagnant smile on his face at this time. Looking at Lu Zhong and Lu Zhong, who were kind teachers and filial piety, there was strong jealousy in their eyes.
He knew that Shui Ni was currently in the late stage of foundation building and was also the senior sister of all the foundation building monks in Heling Sect.
With such a big tree at your back, the difficulty of foundation building will be greatly reduced.
Not to mention anything else, the Four Spiritual Pearl is definitely a treasure that even the inner disciples dream of obtaining.
But now, Lu Zhong can easily get it as a meeting gift.
"Bah, what a bad luck!" The young man in white said angrily.
The expressions on the faces of the foundation-building monks of the Heling Sect were very wonderful when they saw the senior sister suddenly accepting a disciple.
The sun is rising in the west. How can this person accept disciples?
You must know that even Shui Ni looked down on the fairy seedlings with two spiritual roots before. He never thought that he would choose a fourth spiritual root this time. He really couldn't see what the merits of this disciple named Lu Zhong were.
Eyes.
Doubtful, don’t understand!
Lu Zhong's side.
"Good disciple, come with me quickly. I'm on my way today. I can take you to go through the entry procedures." Shui Ni always had a smile on her face after accepting her as a disciple, and said to Lu Zhong with a smile.
"Yes, Master!" Lu Zhong agreed without any reason to refuse.
Shui Ni released a jade flying boat, carrying Lu Zhong into the sky and flying towards the outside of the city. While controlling it, he introduced the specific situation of Heling Sect to Lu Zhong. The details were clearly explained, and soon
It gave him a preliminary understanding of this sect.
There are more than 3,000 monks in the entire Heling Sect.
Ninety-nine percent of them are disciples in the Qi refining stage, and they can be divided into three categories:
Outer door, inner door, true inheritance.
There are only a small number of true disciples, and they all worship the master Jiedan in the sect as their teacher. Basically, their spiritual root qualifications are all two spiritual roots. They are carefully cultivated as the seeds of the alchemy and enjoy the best resource supply.
You can concentrate on your cultivation and not be disturbed by external matters.
The number of inner disciples currently exceeds hundreds, and the resource supply is second only to the true disciples.
Occasionally there will be missions assigned, so you can concentrate on practicing at ordinary times.
As the winner of the ranking battle, Lu Zhong will automatically gain the status of an inner disciple and will be trained as a foundation-building seed, with the goal of cultivating him into the future backbone of the Heling Sect.
If you fail to establish the foundation before the age of sixty, you will lose this salary and be reduced to an outer disciple.
As for the outer disciples, either from the Immortal Cultivation Family or from the Immortal Seedlings selected at the Immortal Ascension Conference, their resource supply is the smallest, and they are also responsible for handling various chores.
Only those who have cultivated to the late stage of Qi refining before the age of thirty can be promoted to inner disciples.
No matter what type of disciple you are, you must register on the jade certificate in the door before you can be officially considered a disciple. Otherwise, even if you participate in the initiation ceremony, you are still not considered a disciple of Heling Sect.
Shui Ni is now taking Lu Zhong to see the leader.
The gate of Helingzong is not in Yingling City, but in Heling Mountain a hundred miles away.
Looking up from the flying boat, on the top of the steep peaks in the distance, there are a large number of exquisite buildings, connected by covered bridges, looming in the billowing clouds, like a floating fairy city.
Judging from the current height, the lowest one is estimated to be built on a thousand-foot mountain.
Lu Zhong originally thought that there would be more rows of buildings on the mountain, but when the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, he realized that he had thought too much. He had just seen all the buildings in the entire Helingzong Mountain Gate.
Soon, the flying boat landed on a platform on the top of a mountain.
This place is worthy of being inside the Heling Sect. Under the influence of the third-order giant spiritual vein, the concentration of spiritual energy is far better than that of Yongling City.
Lu Zhong has decided to move here after arranging the affairs in the city.
While thinking about it, he followed Shui Ni and soon walked to a square paved with gold bricks. Looking ahead, there was a large hall with a plaque with the words "Yingling Hall" hanging on it.
When the disciple guarding the gate saw someone coming, he immediately came up to greet him: "Disciple has seen Master Uncle!"
"I want to see the leader, please make arrangements."
"Yes! Uncle Master, please come this way. I will send the message immediately." When the gatekeeper saw Shui Ni, he did not dare to neglect at all. He quickly led the two of them into the hall, served tea and water, and arranged them in a room like a
The study room is waiting for now.
It didn't take long.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps.
Lu Zhong put down his tea cup and stood up from his seat, just in time to see a middle-aged man with starry eyes and sharp eyebrows walking in. He was seven feet tall and wore Heling Sect clothing with the "Three Spirits Unite Seal".
It exudes an aura that is not inferior to that of cheap master Shui Ni.
This is the head of Heling Sect, Zhang Lingyi.
The status of the headmaster is not low, second only to the three immortals and above the group of foundation-building deacons who are in charge of specific things.
It can be said that before the real person speaks, the head is the highest person in charge of Heling Sect.
Here, Zhang Lingyi and Shui Ni exchanged some words, and the topic quickly shifted to Lu Zhong.
"Senior Sister Shui, is this your new disciple? He is indeed a talented person!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Of course!" Shui Ni said very proudly.
When Lu Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart, "Don't you think you should be humble?"
"Are you here to register? Come, nephew, fill in this form, and then sign your name on this Taoist oath with essence and blood as ink." Zhang Lingyi handed over two things one after another, one after another.
It is a sign of official status and an oath.
Lu Zhong quickly filled out the registration form.
When it was the turn of the oath made of gold foil, his expression became solemn.
Read it in detail. Judging from the content of the Taoist oath, the role of this Taoist oath is obvious. It is mainly to prevent spies from sneaking into the sect. Once signed, it means that the content of the agreement must be strictly abided by, including not betraying the sect and not betraying the sect.
Collusion with foreign enemies and the like.
If there is any violation, the inner demons will invade and the five thunders will strike.
Without hesitation, Lu Zhong signed his name.
Immediately, there was an inexplicable reaction in my heart, as if the oath really took effect.
Zhang Ling put away the two documents, stood up and walked to an empty part of the room.
With a wave of his hand, a large book suddenly appeared on the ground, almost half a person tall, and about the same size as a square table when opened.
Come to think of it, this is the so-called jade certificate.
After the registration was completed, Zhang Lingyi handed Lu Zhong a storage bag and said: "The registration has been completed. There is a set of our Heling Sect's robes in the bag. If my nephew feels that it doesn't fit, he can go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall for free.
Revise.
This year's sect welfare is inside this time. From now on, the nephew will need to go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to receive it.
Then there is the identity token, which is necessary to verify identity and cannot be lost.
If my nephew wants to know more about the sect, he can check the jade slips in the bag. The contents above will be revised every ten years, or he can come to me and I can give you the answer.
As for the Kung Fu, once my nephew has decided which inheritance he wants to follow, he can go to the Kung Fu Hall to choose. For specific matters, you can ask the Kung Fu Deacon at that time, so I won’t be able to elaborate further here."
After saying that, he handed over another jade token.
"The protective jade amulet I made with my own hands can withstand three full-strength strikes of Foundation Establishment. It can be regarded as a meeting gift for my nephew."
"What a generous move!" Lu Zhong thought to himself.
The effect of the jade tablet is similar to that of the Qingyang Protective Talisman, but its effect is comparable to that of the Golden Light Talisman. Its value is at least three digits in spirit stones. This meeting gift is not unimportant.
However, this should be for the sake of taking advantage of Master...oh no, Master's face.
"Thank you, Master!"
"My good disciple, you go back by yourself first. I have something to discuss with the leader."
Shui Ni rarely suppressed her smile and put on a serious expression.
Lu Zhong said goodbye knowingly.
Stepping out of the palace door, I heard faintly coming from behind:
"...Sister, regarding the ranking battle..."
"I know, none of them ran away!" Shui Ni's cold voice came.
Hearing this, Lu Zhong's expression changed slightly.
He had unexpectedly learned before that someone wanted to interfere with the ranking battle, but the ranking battle was successfully held. It turned out to be because Shui Ni eliminated the person.
If not one of them escapes, we still don’t know how many lives are behind them.
"It seems that my master is not a fuel-saving lamp."
Lu Zhong shook his head, not surprised.
Status is achieved by strength. This can be seen from the attitudes of those uncles. Their words were full of awe for the cheap master. Even the old man with the dove stick did not dare to make any mistakes.
From Yingling Hall, all the way down along the covered bridge, Lu Zhong walked towards the poultry house.
There are spirit birds for rent in the bird room, which are used by Qi refining disciples for transportation. After all, the core mountain gates of Heling Sect are built on the top of the mountain. It is inconvenient for Qi refining disciples who cannot fly, so they must have spirit birds to travel around.
.
"Perhaps I should learn a flying spell?" Lu Zhong thought to himself.
In the later stage of Qi refining, the spiritual energy in the monk's body begins to increase dramatically, making it possible to afford the consumption of spiritual energy for flying spells or flying magic weapons.
Just thinking that he still had two spells to master, he decided to take it slow.
Practicing flying spells is just for fun. Various flying spells suitable for the Qi refining period are limited by the quality and quantity of spiritual power. Their practicality is very average. They can fly faster than they can run on the ground.
Rather than wasting this energy, it would be more practical to just buy a flying magic weapon.
While thinking about it, Lu Zhong found an opportunity halfway and changed his clothes into Heling Sect robes.
It's not that he is impatient, but the robe is really good.
Perhaps it is a treatment only available to inner disciples. This is a top-grade robe with three magical powers attached to it.
They are: avoid dust, sweep the wind, and gather spirits.
Among them, Bichen and Juling are both small magical powers.
As the name suggests, the small magical power of gathering spirits is similar to the spiritual energy gathering array. It can automatically gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It can increase the speed of practice during practice. It is a very useful small magical power.
As for Sweeping Wind, it is the superior magical power of the small wind-avoiding magical power and has a stronger wind-avoiding effect.
Trying to turn it on, Lu Zhong found that the spiritual wind gathered around him, and his whole body seemed to be integrated into the wind. This was reflected in the fact that he walked effortlessly and it was entirely the wind that was lifting him forward.
It’s truly a magical power!
As we walked, we heard the sound of birds chirping in front of us, indicating that the bird house had arrived.
The poultry house was built on a giant tree, with large and small cages all over the branches. There were many spiritual birds in it, almost all of them were about ten feet tall, and their wingspan was several times that of their height.
One can imagine how majestic it must be to sit on the backs of these spiritual birds.
"This senior brother wants to rent a spiritual bird. Please show me your identity token and let me register it for you." The Qinfang disciple, who was wearing the attire of an outer disciple, said in a respectful tone.
His eyes glanced at the low-grade robes on the other party's body. Lu Zhong handed over his identity token and said, "What's the price for renting soul birds now? Well, just the commonly used ones."
"It hasn't changed much. Whether it's a red-tailed eagle for traveling or a bull-headed crane for carrying goods, the price is still the same as a little good deed per day." The Qifang disciples answered all questions, and she didn't want to offend an inner disciple.
When Lu Zhong heard this, his eyes fell on a huge white crane with feather protrusions on both sides of its head that looked like horns. He thought that since it was used to carry cargo, he thought it would have a docile temperament, which was suitable for a novice like himself.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So he said: "Let's rent the Bull-Headed Crane for three days and give it to the spirit stone."
The reason why it is deliberately said to be paid with spiritual stones is because good deeds in the sect are rare.
A little good deed can be exchanged for a spiritual stone, but a spiritual stone cannot be exchanged for any good deed.
Good deeds are extremely important. Whether it is used to exchange for various elixirs and magic weapons, or to exchange for additional exercises that you want, or to entrust a senior sect to help, varying amounts of good deeds are required.
It’s hard to earn even good deeds, so take inner disciples as an example.
Every year, the sect will distribute a fixed amount of five hundred good deeds. If you want more good deeds, you can only obtain them by taking the initiative to accept tasks. In disguise, it is a kind of training for the disciples.
Hearing what Lu Zhong said, the Qinfang disciples nodded and said nothing.
Things like renting a spirit bird can be paid for by default with spiritual stones. Only good deeds must be used to exchange for magic treasures and the like.
Soon, Lu Zhong got the beast control order to control the spiritual birds.
The master-servant contract signed by "bus" spirit beasts like this is slightly special. The spirit beast's contract is still a slave contract. The master contract is not signed by a specific monk, but by the beast control order in his hand.
.
Because the beast control order must wear out, the service period of the spiritual bird is also limited.
Once the beast control order is damaged, the spirit beast cannot sign a new slave contract. At this time, there are usually two ways to deal with it, one is to release it, and the other is to kill it and obtain various materials.
In fact, the "bus" spirit beast is usually dealt with in the latter way.
With this information flashing through his mind, Lu Zhong did not continue to think about it.
"Brother, there is something I still want to say."
The disciple from the poultry room released the bull-headed crane, stroked it to comfort him, and said: "Recently, several spiritual birds have become so angry that they ran back because they were hungry. Therefore, if senior brother is not really free, it is best to feed them regularly.
It eats anything, and the Bull-headed Crane is not picky about food. It can eat any kind of rice or meat. If Senior Brother can feed it more delicious food, it may fly even harder."
"Thank you for reminding me!" Lu Zhong said with cupped hands.
