The sect is divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard. The outer courtyard is basically for Qi training disciples with multiple spiritual roots or waste spiritual roots. The disciples of the outer courtyard can enter the inner courtyard if they build a foundation.
Disciples in the inner courtyard are divided into ordinary disciples, elite disciples and direct disciples based on their qualifications and spiritual roots. Elite disciples are single or double spiritual disciples who have no spiritual roots. Those who are disciples are called direct disciples. They each enjoy the differences of the sect.
treatment.
As for the registered disciples, since they have not formally become disciples but have entered the inner courtyard, they are equivalent to ordinary inner courtyard disciples.
If Tong Yan builds the foundation and True Lord Yan Jue accepts her as his disciple, she will become a direct disciple and can enjoy a lot of training resources, but the difficulty of the sect tasks to be completed will also increase.
It is not compulsory to complete the sect tasks. Disciples can also hand in heavenly materials and earthly treasures of equal value to offset the arrears of contribution points due to non-completion of sect tasks.
Tong Yan received the mission half a month late. All the easy sect missions during the Qi training period had been completed, and there were only some hard, tiring, and more difficult missions.
Thinking that he had been immersed in cultivation for half a month, Tong Yan took on the task of collecting monster bones and tested his cultivation results.
"Collect one hundred pairs of wings of the Gray Fire Crow. The Gray Fire Crow is a second-level fire attribute monster that lives in groups. Junior Sister Tong, this kind of task is usually done in teams. Can you do it alone?"
Tong Yan was startled and quickly looked at the mission. It was really a team copy. "I didn't see the mission requirements clearly. Can I still change this?"
The consul disciple on the side said: "You cannot change the sect mission once you have received it, but you can postpone the completion. The worst you can do is take on another mission and contribute as many points as you can."
Tong Yan thought carefully and accepted another task of collecting medicinal herbs.
At this time, there was a sudden noise at the door of the consul hall. Tong Yan looked curiously and saw only the crowd surrounding him, so he asked, "What happened at the door?"
The consul's disciple was not interested in this at all, "It's just two disciples fighting. We see this ten or eight times a day. How excited are they?"
Lin Yu had been in the Mocha Sect for a long time, so she naturally understood what the consul disciple meant. She explained to Tong Yan: "We sect disciples often discuss martial arts in private. As long as no one is killed, the Law Enforcement Hall will not care about you.
You may not have seen it before, but you will often see such discussions in the future."
Tong Yan nodded half-underlyingly, and moved over to look at the two people competing in the crowd.
"Is their merciless fighting style really a competition?" She couldn't help but doubted as she saw the two men looking so fiercely that they wanted to kill each other.
No, Lin Yu said: "Why should you show mercy? If you show mercy during a fight, then it is very likely that you will die. How can you show mercy?"
"...Aren't they brothers from the same sect? This is not the moment of life and death." Facing the fierce Lin Yu, Tong Yan almost thought that he had done something wrong.
"How can you be timid and sympathize with the weak when fighting as a disciple of the Mosha Sect?"
Tong Yan: "..." I was wrong.
As a peace-loving person, she should not discuss this topic with a fighting maniac born and raised in the world of cultivation.
In discussions among the disciples of the Mosha Sect, they would almost get into trouble if they disagreed. It is not unfounded for the cultivators to say that the demon cultivators are aggressive.
The mission of hunting monsters in the Mosha Sect can usually be completed by going to a swamp forest south of the sect.
Because this place is very close to the sect, there are many disciples of the Mosha Sect living around it. Relying on this, Tong Yan came here alone with great confidence.
After searching for three days in the swamp forest, she found traces of the Gray Fire Crow in a cave.
It was obviously impossible to go in and kill them directly. There were at least hundreds of second-level monsters inside, and she couldn't afford to offend them by herself.
After checking the cave and finding that it was relatively sealed, Tong Yan set up a cage at the entrance of the cave, lit the bright-leaf grass that the monster hated, and chopped off a piece of it when the gray fire crow escaped from the cave entrance.
After harvesting thirty gray fire crows, Tong Yan continued to walk in the forest. When he saw a large area of purple thorns growing in front of him, he changed direction and continued walking.
The swamp forest is divided into a swamp area and a forest area. In addition to many shallow cement pools, there are also paralyzing thorns growing near the swamp. There are also many third-order giant crocodiles lurking under the swamp, which can be said to be full of dangers.
Therefore, sect missions in the swamp area generally require foundation-building disciples to accept, and Tong Yan is only in the Qi training period, so there is no need to go there.
The next day, she harvested another dozen Gray Fire Crows in one place, but when she was about to leave, she was stopped by two male cultivators from the same sect.
"Junior sister, the sect missions we have accepted are actually the same. Why don't you lend us some of your Gray Fire Crows." One of the monks who was at the tenth level of Qi training said.
Tong Yan quickly glanced around, then weighed the strength of the two parties, and said with a calm smile: "It's such a coincidence that I received the same mission as my two senior brothers. Can I form a team with you and do the mission together?"
, a hundred Gray Fire Crows are simply too many.”
The two male cultivators looked at each other, and the other one who was at the ninth level of Qi training said: "Of course you can, but we are only short of a dozen Gray Fire Crows. Why don't you, junior sister, give us the ones you just killed, and then senior brother will take you to find them?"
others."
Tong Yan didn't believe a word of this. If he really wanted to form a team with her, why bother worrying about the monster in her hand? She shrugged and said, "This may not work. I'm afraid you will take the monster and run away in the blink of an eye."
"It seems that junior sister is not drinking wine as a penalty." The two of them said that they took action against Tong Yan.
"Are our fellow disciples so cruel?" Tong Yan quickly dodged and complained at the same time.
"If you obediently hand over the Gray Fire Crow, we will naturally not hurt you." The male cultivator at the tenth level of Qi training said this, but the spell he cast did not leave any room for harm.
Tong Yan used his sword moves one after another. From receiving the moves to attacking, his sword skills were obviously much better than a month ago.
Even though she didn't feel any difficulty in fighting with two monks whose cultivation level was slightly higher than hers, she didn't want to keep fighting. After several sword strikes, Tong Yan quickly retreated deep into the forest.
The two male cultivators looked at Tong Yan's retreating figure and did not pursue her. They stayed on the spot and said to the people around them: "She can still move forward and retreat freely when dealing with the two of us by herself. Could it be that she is a disciple of the inner courtyard."
…
Tong Yan flew far away until he saw purple thorns again, but at this moment, many Demon Temple Sect disciples flew out from the center of the swamp.
Tong Yan looked confused when he saw fellow monks running for their lives. He couldn't help but wonder if something big had happened in the swamp. Could it be a tide of beasts?
After a few waves of people passed by, a female foundation-building cultivator saw Tong Yan standing here blankly, and said, "Why are you still standing here? The young sect leader and the others will fight over soon. Two late-stage Jindan cultivators
His momentum is beyond what a qi training disciple like you can bear, why don’t you leave quickly.”
It turned out that there was a fight between Jindan monks ahead, and they were the young masters of the Demon Temple Sect. Tong Yan quickly said to the fellow female cultivator, "Thank you, uncle, I'll leave right away."
After leaving the distance, I looked back at the sky in the center of the swamp. It was dark, and occasionally there was the light of magic flashing.
The dark clouds in the sky lasted for a long time before dissipating, but Tong Yan was not interested in watching the thunder and went to other places early to collect herbs for his second sect mission.
The forest next to the swamp is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Tong Yan said that if he wanted to find herbs, they would grow by the moist water.
According to the jade note, the guardian monster of this herb is a piranha. Piranhas are just first-order monsters. Apart from the sharp teeth, you should be careful, and they usually appear in groups.
However, Tong Yan looked at the piranhas jumping up from the water, and subconsciously slapped the fish with the sword. The fish was knocked down with a plop, and then jumped up again.
"Huh?⊙?⊙What a silly fish." Tong Yan found pleasure in it, and happily took pictures of the piranha that flew up to the water again.
Shang Xun, who was sitting against the tree, paused while playing with the chain, glanced at Tong Yan playing with the fish by the river, and said, "Idiot."
Perfect match for silly fish.
Tong Yan, who was not aware of anyone around him at all, began to practice his sword skills with the jumping fish as a target. He opened and closed the sword skills, and the spiritual energy exploded in the water, stunning the fish and floating on it with its white belly turned over, and was eaten again in an instant.
The mermaid ate it up.
The moment the spiritual energy exploded, Shang Xun felt the Nine Dragon Lock in his hand suddenly vibrate. He grabbed the jade chain wrapped around his wrist and looked toward the river with sharp eyes.
I saw the people by the river putting away their magic swords and slowly picking herbs.
The corners of Shang Xun's lips raised slightly, and he flew down from the tree with a hint of interest and landed not far from Tong Yan.
Tong Yan, who was busy picking herbs, noticed someone was coming. He quickly put away the last herb and looked up at the person.
There was a man in red, with a dragon and phoenix posture, and an extraordinary aura. His robe was stained with blood, as if he had just gone through a fierce fight.
Tong Yan looked a little dazed, but Shang Xun looked her over and said, "You are a disciple of my Mosha Sect."
After hearing the voice, Tong Yan replied: "Yes, disciple Lingjiu Peak registered his disciple Tong Yan."
Shang Xun saw that Tong Yan didn't seem to recognize him, so he said casually, "Why haven't I seen your disciple at Lingjiu Peak?"
There were at least hundreds of people in Lingjiu Peak, so Shang Xun naturally couldn't remember anyone.
"I'm new here." Tong Yan guessed that the person in front of him was probably a senior fellow in the peak.
"I remember the sect was founded three years ago and how you got in." Shang Xun narrowed his eyes and stared at her to apply pressure.
Tong Yan felt nervous inexplicably. Shang Xun's aura was even worse than that of Lord Yan Jue. She said clearly, "It was Lord Yan Jue who brought me into the sect."
I tried my best to convey to him the message that we might be the same master.
However, Shang Xun raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that the old man brought it back in person. Is there anything special about you? Or you have incredible qualifications."
The old man called Yan Juezhenjun???
"Well... maybe it's not the case. The disciple is just a five-spirited person." Tong Yan thought of the five colors that lit up in the main hall, and he really couldn't unscrupulously say that it was because of his unnatural aptitude.
As for the swordsmanship, you shouldn't tell anyone casually, Tong Yan thought.
"If you were Wulinggen, how would the old man like you to be a registered disciple?" But if you were such a good young lady, how could Yan Jue let her be a registered disciple.
Shang Xun walked to the river thoughtfully, then threw a crystal ball to Tong Yan. After watching Tong Yan catch it hurriedly, he said, "Test the spiritual root again."
"Ah...yes." Tong Yan suppressed the doubts in her heart and tested her spiritual roots obediently. To be honest, she really wanted to have a good spiritual root. Not to mention cultivation, a single spiritual root and mutated spiritual roots are the standard for people who travel through time.
Match it well.
Arrange a waste spiritual root for her, doesn't she want to lose face?
The crystal ball slowly lit up with five colors of light. Even if he had known that he was a waste spirit root, he still felt disappointed when he saw Tong Yan again.
Tong Yan put down his hand, the light dimmed, and said rather dejectedly, "It's the Five Spiritual Roots."
Shang Xun slightly said thoughtfully, "The five colors are actually five colors, but the even distribution of the five colors means something completely different."
He glanced at the crystal ball that had returned to transparency. A chain as white as jade suddenly flew out of his hand, rushed towards Tong Yan's wrist, wrapped it around him and pulled it upward. Tong Yan's hand was placed on the crystal ball again, five colors
The light came on again.
"Don't move and test again."
Shang Xun's quick-moving Tong Yan had no time to react and almost thought he was going to do something to him. Then when he heard his words, he was speechless for a moment. Just say it, why do you need to do anything?
She didn't dare to express her dissatisfaction with Shang Xun, so she could only stare at the crystal ball and think about it.
Shang Xun stared at its changes without moving. For a moment, the five colors of light in the ball merged and changed into gray.
Tong Yan's eyes widened in surprise, "What...is going on?!"
Shang Xun looked at Tong Yan and smiled and said, "Do you know about the Chaos Spiritual Root? It is even rarer and more special than the Mutated Spiritual Root. If you are not careful, you will be mistaken for a useless Spiritual Root."
"Chaos... spiritual roots mean that I am no longer five spiritual roots!" Tong Yan almost jumped up in surprise.
How could she not know about the Chaos Spiritual Root? According to the general cultivation setting, the Chaos Spiritual Root is the most advanced spiritual root. All spells can be learned. It also has the highest spiritual affinity, is the fastest to absorb spiritual energy, and has the same level of spiritual power.
About five to ten times that of a monk.
Seeing Tong Yan's happy face, as if he knew the power of the Chaos Spiritual Root, Shang Xun was slightly surprised and said, "You also know about the Chaos Spiritual Root?"
Tong Yan smiled modestly and said, "I understand a little bit."
That smile looked like he was getting an advantage and was acting nice.
Shang Xun was not curious about how much Tong Yan knew. He thought about it and said to her: "Although that old man Yan Jue is a fool, he still managed to do a good thing. From now on, you can just follow me.
"
A handsome man with a luxurious and elegant temperament looks at you with a hint of dominance and says, "Fuck with me from now on." At that time, Tong Yan just wanted to shout loudly, "I can do it!"
Shang Xun was stunned by this inexplicable answer, "Huh? What did you say?"
"What I'm saying is, I can mess with you as much as I want, and you will be my boss from now on." Tong Yan explained forcefully.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What I'm saying is that I want you to worship me as your teacher." Shang Xun's Nine Dragon Lock came out, knocked Tong Yan's forehead and then retracted it.
Tong Yan touched the place where she was knocked, and compared in her mind which one was more powerful, Shang Xun and Yan Jue Zhenjun. The other was a Nascent Soul monk, and the person in front of her was no less powerful than Yan Jue Zhenjun, and she was also a beauty. Thinking about this made her feel dizzy.
.
"It's Master." Tong Yan changed his words cheerfully.
Seeing Tong Yan changing her tune so quickly, Shang Xun couldn't help but wonder if she would be so familiar if she rebelled in the future.
He had to prepare to accept disciples and deal with other matters of the sect, so Shang Xun planned to return to the sect and said to Tong Yan: "You came to the swamp forest to do the sect's mission. How are you doing now?"
"There's still a little bit left."
"Do you want me to help you complete it?" Shang Xun said seductively.
Tong Yan tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment. "No need, this sect's task is not difficult."
Shang Xun was quite satisfied with this answer. He nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to the sect first. After you complete the task, you can bring the token to Luo Huafeng to find me." As he said that, he took out a token from his storage bag and threw it away.
Words to children.
"It's Master." Tong Yan took the token and looked through it a few times. It was a red token with a special word "Sha" on the front and strange words engraved around it.
Then a string of jade-like bracelets was handed over by Shang Xun. Both the hands and the chain were extremely white. Tong Yan couldn't tell which one was the important point.
Until Shang Xun reminded him, "Take the bracelet as a greeting gift from the teacher."
"Oh...Okay, thank you, master." Tong Yan hurriedly took it, and the cold touch and milky white color made her feel familiar inexplicably. Has she seen similar things before?
Before Tong Yan could think of anything, Shang Xun finished explaining and turned around and left, leaving only the last sentence, "Protect my apprentice, don't die."
This master must be a master at seducing girls! Hmm!
"Master, you haven't taken away the crystal ball yet!" Tong Yan shouted loudly.
I thought he couldn't hear me anymore, but soon his voice came, "I'll leave it to you."
