"Jiang Li, I don't want to become a monk, otherwise we should go to Bailian Mountain."
"At least there, magic weapons and spiritual pills are easier to obtain than other places, and they will definitely be of great help to our practice."
Bailian Mountain is indeed what he said. It exports a lot of middle and low-level magic weapons every year.
For people like Yan Hong who like to do business, it is indeed very tempting to have first-hand sources of goods.
But when Jiang Li looked at the two rows of names of Bailian Mountain's top executives, he frowned.
Situ Fengzhu, the head of the family, Situ Tingxin, the second elder, Situ Baige, the weapons training elder, Situ Eitong, the foreign affairs elder...
The great elder Ma Liuqi, the third elder Ma Lichou, the alchemy elder Ma Minglou, the herbal elder Ma Changgu...
In the book, there are many records of senior elders with various names and positions in Bailian Mountain, but all of them have these two surnames without exception.
You must know that the history of Bailian Mountain since its establishment has definitely exceeded five hundred years, but in all these years, not a single disciple with a foreign surname has been able to make a difference.
If they didn't have a strange rule that you have to change your name when you become a high-level person, you can imagine how difficult it would be to get promoted and gain profits in a family-run sect.
Even the indestructible Calabash Sanwa can't stand up to the power of wearing small shoes. Jiang Li really has no interest in having his youth ruined by this kind of sect.
After Jiang Li's explanation, Yan Hong also broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't want him and others to work hard all his life, and then all the results would be at the expense of the sect's royal relatives.
It seems that the treatment in such a sect is good, but once there is a conflict with the children of those two families, justice is simply a joke.
"It seems we are running out of options."
The two of them took their younger brother around the entire venue first, and after quietly analyzing the pros and cons of each sect, they finally arrived at the entrance to the courtyard of the Sutra Valley.
Compared with the other three top sects, the advantages of Sutra Valley are actually not obvious, and there are even many major flaws.
For example, the establishment time is too short and the sect has insufficient foundation.
For example, if it is jointly established by casual practitioners, the high-level components are too mixed.
Although the problem of sect factions is not as deep-rooted as that of Bailian Sect, it is bound to exist.
It is said that among the casual cultivators who once joined, there are also demonic cultivators, and from time to time there will be mysterious deaths of disciples within the sect.
In terms of areas of expertise, since I was a casual cultivator back then, most of the things I knew were unsystematic and mixed but not refined.
So whether it's refining weapons, refining elixirs, or drawing talismans, they know a little bit, but they're not very good at it.
Compared with the other three sects of the same level, Sutra Library Valley appears to be relatively mediocre.
However, Jiang Li and Yan Hong finally chose the Sutra Library Valley.
Because first of all, in terms of size, the Sutra Valley is indeed the first echelon in the world of immortality in Dazhong Mountain, and it only took two hundred years for it to reach this level.
In the world of cultivating immortals, two hundred years may not be enough for the rise and fall of one generation, which means that this sect has great development prospects, and there is hope that in the future, with the efforts of their generation, they can completely surpass the other three sects.
For young people like them who have great potential, such a vibrant sect is still a place worthy of their lifelong struggle.
okay.
In fact, this is not the main reason.
In fact, the most real reason is that the main exercises of Cihang Temple are of metal and earth attributes, while the main exercises of Bailian Mountain are of fire attributes.
The Five Elements Peak of Shushan has all five elements, but people don’t want them.
Jiang Li has a Yin-Wood dual-attribute spiritual root, and Yan Hong has a water-attribute spiritual root, so they actually have no choice at all.
Only the Sutra Valley, which is said to have countless sutras, can allow them to obtain the most suitable exercises for them to practice.
Walking into the courtyard gate of the Sutra Valley, the inside was already quite empty. Others didn't have as much thought about choosing as they did, and most of them had already chosen their sect.
The monk's work efficiency is very fast, and the registration of disciples and signing of contracts does not take long at all.
Jiang Li and the others walked in and saw twenty long carved tables placed in the courtyard. However, the people standing behind the long tables were not real people, but twenty wooden puppets wearing clothes and with lifelike expressions.
"Hehehe...there are a lot of new people here."
Behind the table, the puppets that were standing quietly suddenly started to move, making creaking sounds when their joints rotated. Their movements were different, and they could even open and close their mouths to speak human words.
Several of the men behind him were so frightened that they turned around and tried to escape, but Jiang Li and Yan Hong stopped them and kicked them down with quick eyes and feet.
Then he bowed his hands in the direction of the wooden figure and apologized quickly.
"Sorry, sir."
His subordinates realized it later and hurriedly saluted together.
"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you are not the first disciple to be scared."
One of the wooden puppets with a laughing expression waved his hands, and his movements were almost the same as those of a real person.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the elder of Qimen Hall from the Sutra Valley. You can call me Weng Sanqi."
This is another puppet with a serious expression who begins to speak.
"Elder Weng Sanqi!"
Everyone saluted again, but there were a total of twenty puppets in front of them moving around, and they didn't know which direction to bow their hands.
"You come here because you want to join the Sutra Valley, right?"
The puppets waved to them to come forward.
"Our Sutra Storage Valley is one of the best sects in Dachong Mountain. According to the sect's regulations, after you visit our Sutra Storage Valley, you can choose any basic technique to practice."
"Every week, sect elders will give public lectures, and resources will be allocated every month to assist in practice... and you can exchange for many exercises, Taoist techniques, elixirs, and magic weapons by paying spiritual stones and sect contribution points.
..."
The wooden puppet shook his head and kept talking. Jiang Li found that for most basic treatment, there was not much difference between the various sects.
However, Weng Sanqi mentioned the selection of exercises and spells several times in his introduction. It seems that he is very confident in the sect's book collection.
"I understand, Elder Weng Sanqi, may I ask what we need to do after joining the sect?"
Jiang Limingbai said that if you have rights, you must have obligations. Senior monks can easily live hundreds or even thousands of years. Their ideas about inheritance are far less than those of mortals who can only live a few dozen years.
Even if they really wanted to pass it on, it would not be their turn to have spiritual root qualifications.
"We will not charge fees to join the sect. In the first year after joining the sect, you only need to practice with peace of mind. There are no compulsory requirements."
"But after one year, all outer sect disciples must start taking on sect missions. Of course, missions are difficult and easy. Even if your strength is not up to par, you can still take on some hard missions. You can rest assured about this."
In this regard, the Sutra Valley may seem a bit petty in its early investment due to its history as a loose cultivator alliance.
Other sects usually give new disciples a buffer period of two to three years before arranging to accept tasks.
In one year, it is hard to say whether many disciples with inferior spiritual roots can take the first step in cultivating immortals.
Jiang Li and Yan Hong looked at each other, and then he spoke.
"Elder Weng Sanqi, we are willing to worship and enter the Sutra Library Valley!"
The puppets looked at him together.
"Have you already been followed by someone before you even started? You are very good. This will make things much easier for you outside."
"Then don't be stunned, come here and fill in the information before signing the contract."
There were twenty-one of them, divided in front of twenty puppets. There was no need to line up. They picked up two pieces of paper and started filling them out.
This world of immortality believes more in cause and effect and fate, so it is important to understand the disciples' footsteps very clearly.
Where do you live and who have your surname? How many parents and relatives do you have at home? What do you do? Have you ever been married? Do you have any children? Have you killed anyone? Have you set a fire? Was the person killed a man or a woman? Was the fire set big or small?
If Jiang Li had a good memory, he would even ask for his family's genealogy to be written within eighteen generations...
In short, Jiang Li filled in what he had and crossed out what he didn't. Finally, after studying the terms of the sect contract for a long time, he signed his name.
"Hey, you still have dual-attribute spiritual roots, which is good, so you made the right choice to join the Sutra Valley."
Jiang Li looked puzzled. Is there anything else that could be said here?
"Please ask the elders to clarify my doubts."
After Jiang Li handed over the spiritual root wooden sign, he walked into the courtyard and finally saw the elder Weng Sanqi who had been controlling the puppet.
"Hey, boy, do you know the difference between dual-attribute spiritual roots and single-attribute spiritual roots?"
Weng Sanqi's stature is a little short, and he is not as good as other children who are thirteen or fourteen years old. His hair is gray and white, but his face is rosy and does not look old at all. He holds a big wine jar in his hand, and he has to pick it up after saying a few words.
Get up and take a sip.
He did not answer Jiang Li's question directly, but asked this question.
"A monk with dual-attribute spiritual roots can easily master two attribute spells, and has more methods and stronger combat power."
After Jiang Li learned about the attributes of his spiritual roots, he looked for people to inquire about this information, but the opinions he got were very one-sided, and he could only tell what he knew.
"Yes, but it's not all right. The combination of dual-attribute spells can handle more situations, and it's easier to gain an advantage when fighting with others."
"You must know that wood-attribute exercises can only improve wood-attribute cultivation, and yin-attribute exercises can only improve yin attribute cultivation."
"But if you practice two kinds of exercises at the same time, it will inevitably slow down your cultivation speed, and you will be far inferior to monks who only practice a single method. Therefore, many dual-attribute spiritual root monks will give up one of them and choose to just rest alone.
one of them."
Jiang Li thought about it, and it seemed to make sense, but since the other party said so, there must be a solution. He calmed his hanging heart and continued to listen.
