"This technique is of great significance to our sect... I will count your contribution of 10,000 yuan and give you the Bai family a chance to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill."
The head of Wei stood with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth, and the air pressure in the entire Patriarch Hall dropped.
"Within ten years, the Bai family can come to our sect to buy a Foundation Building Pill at any time for fifteen thousand spiritual stones."
"But I want you to swear an oath from your inner demons. The Bai family will not pass on the Aragami's Sun-Stealing Technique to any foreigner."
The Oath of the Inner Demon is just nonsense for monks who do not care about the road and do not pursue progress in cultivation.
You can swear whatever you want, it doesn't matter.
But the more advanced the monks are, the more cautious they are about this.
Once you violate it, you will be haunted by inner demons and your cultivation will be stagnant; at worst, you will become obsessed with it, your meridians will be disordered, and you will become a disabled person.
"Anyone who dares to spread the desolate god's sun-stealing skills to outsiders, as a monk from the Bai family, will be counterattacked by the demons in his heart and his path will be cut off!"
When he heard that the reward also included the qualification to purchase a foundation-building pill, Bai Xianzhong's heart was filled with excitement.
The transaction price of the Foundation Establishment Pill is only around 15,000 spiritual stones, but apart from the spiritual stones, what is more difficult for ordinary monks is the purchasing channels and how to keep them safely.
It is indeed a bit uncomfortable to be forced to swear the inner demon oath, but the situation is stronger than the person.
He originally planned to make the Aragami Sun-Stealing Technique the top secret of the family, and only the patriarchs and foundation-building monks of the past generations could know about it.
He gritted his teeth and swore the inner demon's oath.
If you are really determined and don't want to comply, there are ways to get around it.
The simplest thing is to teach the exercises before sitting and passing away. What can God do to me?
Therefore, the inner demon oath can only be restricted to a limited extent.
What Qingfeng Sect wants is a matter of attitude.
"Okay! This is the best. I believe the Bai family can become a close partner of our sect in the future."
The head of Wei clapped his hands, signaling Elder Peng to see off the guests.
"Master Bai, please go and take a closer look at the redemption list. Twelve thousand contributions... is not a small number. The ones in front of you can't even reach it together."
"Junior Brother Peng will introduce you to the specific exchange details."
Just when the three members of the Bai family were about to follow Elder Peng out of the ancestral hall, Sect Leader Wei added, as if he had just thought of it: "By the way, Bai Zichen, right, in five years our sect will open its gates and recruit new students."
New disciple. If you are interested, you can join the sect directly, and I will allow you to become an inner disciple. The same goes for that girl."
"The boy is frightened. Thank you, Master Guowei, for taking him seriously."
Bai Zichen, who had been a spectator throughout the whole process, was startled when his name was suddenly called. He quickly turned around and saluted, but did not give a direct answer.
Seeing that the head guard had no intention of continuing, the three of them slowly retreated.
"The head brother is actually willing to make a special case for the two of you. You are lucky, kid. As long as you become a disciple of our sect, your promotion to the True Successor in the future is certain!"
Elder Peng kept his eyes on Bai Zichen. Although Wei Dao mentioned two people, anyone with a discerning eye could tell who the main target was.
Qingfeng sect disciples are divided into four levels: handyman, outer sect, inner sect, and true disciple. They are clearly superior and inferior.
Every time the mountain gate is opened, Qingfeng Gate will accept hundreds of disciples, most of whom are casual cultivators who already have a foundation in cultivating immortals.
Those with a clean financial background, no past bad deeds, low spiritual roots and poor cultivation but who have a heart for the sect will not be turned away by the Qingfeng sect and become the lowest level of handyman disciples.
As the name suggests, apart from being a disciple of the Qingfeng Sect, one does not enjoy many benefits and has to do a lot of tedious tasks.
For example, inspecting mortal cities, drawing mountains and rivers maps, feeding spiritual beasts, watering spiritual plants, mining mineral veins, etc. are all extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.
But for these casual cultivators, having a passable skill, a safe and peaceful environment, and a spiritually abundant cultivation environment, which can be obtained by just putting in some hard work, is already extremely lucky.
To join the Qingfeng Sect and become a handyman disciple is the biggest dream of many casual cultivators at the bottom of the Black Mountains. It is nicknamed as Climbing the Dragon Gate.
As for the outer disciples, they are generally children with excellent spiritual roots and who have not yet begun cultivation and are like a blank sheet of paper.
If you are a casual cultivator who leads an art master, you must at least be at the middle level of Qi refining and have a reasonable method of cultivating immortals to be qualified to become an outer disciple.
In the eyes of the senior officials of the Qingfeng Sect, only those who have reached the level of an outer disciple are considered their true disciples.
There are basic sect benefits, and every month there are lectures by the deacons of Qi Refining Dzogchen, imparting cultivation experience, and there is even a chance to be favored by the elders of the Foundation Establishment and accepted as a disciple.
Once you pass the small competition, you can become an inner disciple of the Guard Master.
Qingfeng sect disciples usually do not stay at this stage of being inner sect disciples for more than a few years. They either make a breakthrough and join the ranks of true disciples; or when they reach a certain age, they change their identities and become ordinary stewards, and then develop in the direction of deacons and elders.
As for the true disciples, there are no more than ten in each session, so there is a shortage rather than an overabundance, and there are often vacancies.
Every true disciple is regarded as a foundation-building seed and receives the Qingfeng Sect’s key training.
The foundation-building seeds in the Qingfeng Sect's eyes are different from the titles that can be given out casually by cultivating immortal families. They really have a great chance of success in foundation-building.
To become a true disciple, the first requirement is to have the advanced level of Qi refining before the age of twenty-five.
"Head Wei's polite words are just that. Elder Peng, let's take a look at the exchange list first."
Bai Xianzhong started by bringing the topic back to the matter of contribution exchange.
"snort!"
When he didn't receive a positive response, Elder Peng snorted in displeasure and threw away a long scroll, which listed the treasures that Qingfeng Sect could exchange for.
In the first line of the scroll, there is a Foundation Building Pill!
Foundation Building Pill, the required contribution for exchange is 10,000.
"The Qingfeng Sect is really so trustworthy and took out all the Foundation Establishment Pills as a reward. What a generous act!"
Bai Zichen's eyes lit up, but when he thought that even the Bai family had only contributed 12,000 yuan, other families could only sigh deeply even if they saw this Foundation Establishment Pill.
"The contribution is enough to exchange for a Foundation-Building Pill, but there are currently no clan members under the age of fifty who have perfected Qi Refining in the clan. In addition, the head of Wei has granted him the right to purchase a Foundation-Building Pill, so he can go further."
Take a look, don’t rush to take action."
The patriarch, Bai Xianzhong, must have had similar thoughts. After breathing heavily for a moment, his eyes dropped and he browsed the other contents on the list.
Great Barrier-Breaking Pill, the required contribution for exchange is one thousand and five.
The upgraded version of the barrier-breaking pill is for foundation-building monks to take. It has a certain effect on breaking through the bottleneck in the early stage of foundation-building...
A bottle of Spirit-increasing Pill, the required contribution for exchange is six hundred.
A second-level elixir for improving cultivation. It is effective until the late stage of Foundation Establishment. It is highly sought after by Foundation Establishment monks...
Golden Scale Heavenly Dragon Slash, a top-grade spiritual weapon, the required contribution for exchange is five thousand.
Black purple agarwood, third-level spiritual wood, the required contribution for exchange is two thousand.
Red Fire Copper, third-level ore, required contribution for exchange, 3,000.
…
There are all kinds of treasures on the exchange list, ranging from various types of elixirs to spiritual weapons, materials, etc. The total number is no less than a hundred.
Several lines were marked with missing characters, presumably because they were exchanged by previous families.
