Yinxian Sect is divided into two branches: inner and outer.
The inner disciples have received the true inheritance from the seven elders or headmasters of the Yinxian Sect. They have outstanding qualifications but are few in number. There are no more than twenty people in total.
The outer disciples are registered under the Yinxian Sect, and by some chance, they obtain the basic skills of the Yinxian Sect. If they can use this to enter the hall and make a name for themselves, some elders will take them under their own sect and become the true disciples of the inner sect.
Otherwise, you will remain a disciple of the outer sect for the rest of your life, with no one to guide you in your practice, or you may mistakenly enter the Wild Fox Zen, which will delay your life, or you may not be able to enter at all, and you will end up in a depressed state.
Even in a nine-liu sect like Yinxian Sect, a small sect with a small family, there are no less than a hundred outer disciples, but none of them can stand out because of their basic skills and be favored by the elders.
This shows that the difference in cultivation qualifications determines an individual's destiny from the beginning.
Brother Zhugan, who looks like Ye Xuan, and the shorter brother are all, like him, outer disciples.
The difference was that the two senior brothers fawned over an inner disciple, and felt that they were one step ahead of Ye Xuan, an outer disciple who relied on his family's wealth to create opportunities.
When Ye Xuan arrived at the county court, he was told by the officer waiting outside that all his fellow disciples had already been invited by the county captain to have a drink at Zuixian Tower.
He had no choice but to turn the horse's head and stop at Zuixian Tower.
There was a message at the door, and not long after, a boy came down and invited Ye Xuan to come to the banquet.
The county captain booked the entire Zuixian Tower, and the banquet was held in the largest private room on the second floor.
Ye Xuan followed the boy through the empty lobby on the first floor, followed the stairs to the second floor, and stopped at the door of a private room.
With a smile on his face, the boy nodded and bowed to Ye Xuan: "Master Tao, this is it."
He pointed to the door beside him. The door of the private room was closed tightly, and he could only faintly hear the sound of laughter coming from inside. It was obvious that the banquet had already begun.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan felt a trace of anger in his heart.
I came to meet them without even eating, but these people themselves partook in the banquet first?
You must not take me seriously to do such a thing!
The original owner was an outer disciple of the Yinxian Sect, and in this situation, he was really a coward!
Ye Xuan stretched out his hand and was about to push the door open. The young man's face changed suddenly, but he stopped in front of him and said awkwardly and uneasily: "Master Tao, the immortal leader inside only asked the young man to welcome you to the door. He didn't say anything."
Otherwise, if you go in rashly, I'm afraid that the Immortal will blame you, so I'll let you pass the news inside first..."
What the boy said was to imply to Ye Xuan that the elders in the private room did not allow him to enter for the banquet.
The boy wrung his hands back and forth, feeling frightened and uneasy inside.
Ye Xuan saw his reaction in his eyes and couldn't bear it.
Comparing one's feelings with one's own, he also did the job of judging people's faces in his previous life. He knew how much pain and sorrow there was in this industry, but he did not want to embarrass the young man. He sighed and said: "Then you can tell the elders of the disciples on my behalf."
The boy hurriedly agreed, first confessed his crime to Ye Xuan, opened the door of the private room a crack, and the noise inside rushed out.
He ducked into the private room and locked the door.
After about a moment, he walked out with a stern look on his face, but he didn't know how to tell Ye Xuan.
"What?" Ye Xuan turned his head and asked the boy, "Did the elders of my sect tell me to go in?"
The boy didn't dare not answer, and said vaguely: "Maybe the Immortal didn't hear what I said clearly, and didn't give you a reply. Wait a moment, and I will go inside and give you a message..."
I didn't hear this clearly. You clearly didn't take me seriously and deliberately left me out!
Before the boy could finish his words of comfort, he was interrupted by Ye Xuan: "No need.
If they wait a moment longer, they will probably finish their meal."
I came all the way from Partridge Temple without even having to eat, so when I went in I could still get half full - Ye Xuan made up his mind, took a step forward, stretched out his hand and opened the door!
He asked the young man to pass the news first, so that he could avoid punishment later.
Now, breaking into the door is his own business, and everyone in the private room will no longer blame the young man.
In the private room, seven or eight young men and women were sitting around a round table, surrounded by two middle-aged men and an old man. There were also several police officers in official uniforms sitting in the banquet, laughing and talking, making it very lively.
The plates and dishes on the table were stacked one after another, and various delicacies such as bear paws and shark's fins were constantly served during the dinner.
At this time, the middle-aged man on the left stood up and toasted to the old man in the middle: "Uncle Master, this is the best spiritual fruit wine. One cup can last ten days of practice. You have to accept my nephew's offer.
!”
The middle-aged man was holding a wine pot and was wearing a county lieutenant's robe. He clearly caught a glimpse of Ye Xuan's figure from the corner of his eye. His expression did not change and he still raised his glass to the old man.
The old man was the elder of the Yinxian Sect who led the team this time. He also took the wine glass with a smile and said: "Okay, okay, I will accept my nephew's filial piety!"
As he spoke, he raised his neck and swallowed the glass of spiritual fruit wine.
Ye Xuan saw such good things as soon as he entered the door, and there was no way to vent the anger in his heart. He seemed transparent to all his classmates, so he simply picked up another flask filled with spirit fruit wine on the table, and picked up one by himself.
Wine glass, inviting everyone to drink from a distance.
He filled the wine glass and said with a grin: "Brothers and elders in front of me, Ye Xuan realized that he missed the time and came a step late. He should be punished by drinking three glasses of wine as a penalty!"
Saying that, without waiting for others to dissuade him, he drank a large glass of spiritual fruit wine.
After drinking this glass of wine, unlike ordinary spirits, a fire rushes from the stomach to the throat, churning endlessly. Instead, the stomach is full of mellow aroma, which makes people feel intoxicated without even realizing it.
It is indeed a good wine that is full of spirituality and can enhance spiritual practice!
Ye Xuan's eyes lit up, and before anyone else could react, he poured two more cups and drank them down - now he had to take advantage quickly, and the benefits were real, and it didn't matter whether he wanted anything else or not.
!
After drinking three cups, Ye Xuan was looking for an excuse to drink a few more cups, but the county lieutenant reacted at this time and scolded him with a black face: "Okay! Who allowed you to come in here?"
Spiritual fruit wine is hard to come by. It takes hundreds of years to harvest only a few jars of it.
If the county captain Zhang Shuzhen had not taken advantage of his official position, he would not be able to produce these three pots of spiritual fruit wine at the moment.
He planned to use these three pots of spiritual fruit wine to curry favor with his teacher and build relationships with several talented inner disciples.
But he didn't want Ye Xuan to break in and just drank three cups of Zhu Bajie like eating ginseng fruit, which was nearly half a pot. How could he not hate this guy in his heart?
"Eh? The teacher's sect sent me a message to come to meet you, so I came naturally." Ye Xuan pretended to have blurred eyes, looked at Zhang Shuzhen, and muttered, "Who is your Excellency? I am the abbot of the two temples at Partridge Temple.
How come I have never seen you in three years?"
Shihe County is the sheltered place of Yinxian Sect. The county chief registrar and county captain are all the older inner disciples of Yinxian Sect who have no hope of practicing.
Ye Xuan is from the same sect as them, and because he occupies the position of abbot of Partridge Temple, he should be restrained and cared for by them.
However, he had served as the abbot of Partridge Temple for two or three years, but he had never met the county captain Zhang Shuzhen or the chief registrar Li Yuan. Now he pretended to be drunk and deliberately said these words to set a trap for Zhang Shuzhen.
