Is it finally here? At this moment, Zhan Chen's heart was quite uneasy. He had gone through all kinds of hardships and struggled from the brink of death several times. Finally, he was about to successfully join a major immortal sect, which meant a new beginning for him.
There were two disciples on duty at the door of Linghe Sect. When they saw Chen Song and Zhou Ren arriving, they came up to say hello: Brother Chen and Brother Zhou, you are finally back. The harvest this time is good. We found five new disciples.
Last time there were only three.
Chen Song smiled proudly and said: We are just lucky and found a new person with high-grade spiritual roots.
Oh, who is it? The two on-duty disciples said in shock.
Chen Song pointed at Zhan Chen behind him and said: It's him, Zhan Chen, Junior Brother Zhan.
Junior Brother Zhan is indeed incomparably majestic and extraordinary. The two on-duty disciples also came over to greet Zhan Chen warmly, and even seemed to be fawning over him.
This made Zhan Chen have to bow to them.
Afterwards, the group of people officially entered the Linghe Sect. A neat white marble avenue spread out at their feet after entering the mountain gate. Along the way, many disciples in khaki robes could be seen coming and going on the avenue.
Chen Song pointed at those disciples and said: Those disciples in yellow robes are the outer disciples of our sect, and your cultivation level has not reached the Yuan Peeping Realm, so you can only be regarded as outer disciples first.
Continuing to move forward along the avenue, Zhan Chen and others were finally able to go deep into the place shrouded in mysterious clouds.
A series of majestic and majestic tall halls were revealed in front of them. Different from Zhan Chen's imagination, the materials used in the buildings here were not luxurious. They could even be said to be extremely ordinary, with blue bricks and mountain stones everywhere.
It is completely incomparable to the city lord's mansions in the neutral area of the Xuan Dao Sect's main hall that Zhan Chen had seen before. It is even simpler than the Golden Elephant Sect that he had stayed in. The Golden Elephant Sect also knew how to use some important buildings such as the Lanling Palace Treasure House.
Strong third- and fourth-grade weapon refining materials.
But the Linghe Sect, the majestic Immortal Dao Sect, seems to have directly used local materials and built these tall buildings and palaces out of rudimentary materials.
However, Zhan Chen soon discovered that these simple-looking buildings were not simple. They all followed some strange rules, and there seemed to be some vague connection between buildings.
Of course, with Zhan Chen's current experience and cultivation, he still cannot understand the layout of the Linghe Sect.
After passing through tall buildings, several people arrived in front of a main hall. Zhan Chen looked up and saw three large characters "Disciple Hall" written on the lintel of the main hall. There were many disciples wearing Linghe Sect costumes going in and out.
Chen Song pointed to this building and introduced: This disciple hall is where our disciples receive sect tasks and receive merit points and additional rewards. It is very important to your future life, so you must remember it firmly.
I know, Zhan Chen and the other five people replied in unison.
Okay, next I will take you to see Elder Tang Biao. He will arrange everything for you. Elder Tang Biao is highly respected and you need to know etiquette later. Do you understand?
The five people who knew it answered again.
Then, Chen Song and Zhou Ren led five people into the Disciple Pavilion. They followed the stairs to the top floor of the tall building. There was an elegantly decorated room, and an old man in Taoist robes was sitting in the room.
Sitting on the futon in the center, he closed his eyes and meditated. He was none other than Tang Biao, the elder who was currently responsible for his duties in the Disciples Pavilion.
When Zhou Ren and Chen Song saw the old man, they hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, and said loudly: Disciple Zhou Ren, disciple Chen Song, pay homage to Elder Tang.
Tang Biao slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Ren and Chen Song who were kneeling on the ground, closed his eyes again, and said: Get up.
Only then did Elder Xie, Zhou Ren and Chen Song dare to stand up.
Tell us about the completion of your mission this time.
Chen Song took a step forward and said: Elder Tang, we went to Liujin City this time and recruited a total of five candidate disciples, one of whom has a high-grade spiritual root.
Oh, Tang Biao's eyes suddenly opened again, stood up, and asked: Who is it?
Zhan Chen, come here quickly. Chen Song hurriedly greeted Zhan Chen behind him.
Zhan Chen stepped forward, bowed his head and saluted Tang Biao, and said: Disciple Zhan Chen, pay homage to Elder Tang.
Tang Biao raised his head and said, Zhan Chen did as he was told. Tang Biao looked Zhan Chen up and down carefully, and suddenly burst into laughter: Hahaha, okay, our Linghe sect has already prepared the top-grade spiritual roots.
I haven’t recruited a disciple with such qualifications for nearly ten years. I remember the previous one was Zhao Ting’er, and now she is the direct disciple of Elder Lin Mengqin. Chen Song and Zhou Ren, you have made great contributions this time. I want to ask the sect to reward you heavily.
Chen Song and Zhou Ren looked at each other with expressions of ecstasy and hurriedly said: Thank you, Elder Tang.
No, I have to go see that old guy Zhuang Weiye immediately. Tang Biao said and wanted to walk out the door.
Chen Song and Zhou Ren looked embarrassed and reminded: Elder Tang, there are four other disciples.
Tang Biao, the other four people, glanced at the four people standing behind Zhan Chen and asked: Why, they also have high-grade spiritual roots.
No, no, no. Chen Song waved his hand quickly and said: Three of the four of them have medium-grade spiritual roots, and one has low-grade spiritual roots.
Why did you bring a guy with useless spiritual roots into the sect? Tang Biao said unhappily.
Elder Tang, there is nothing we can do about this. The man with useless spiritual roots is called Nie Zhenkun, and he passed the test set by the founder of our Linghe Sect.
Tang Biao pondered for a moment and then said: Chen Song and Zhou Ren, you will take the four people downstairs to find Chen Gui later and ask him to make detailed arrangements. Those with medium-grade spiritual roots will be arranged at the outer door. As for the one with useless spiritual roots,
, just arrange to be a handyman directly.
Yes, Tang elders Zhou Ren and Chen Song replied quickly.
Tang Biao turned his head again, smiled at Zhan Chen and said: Zhan Chen, come with me immediately to meet the sect master.
It was Zhan Chen who answered, but he was thinking in his heart: It seems that I am quite popular in this Linghe Sect. I really didn't expect to see the sect leader all of a sudden.
Zhan Chen followed Tang Biao out of the Disciple Pavilion and continued walking up the mountain until they reached the top of the mountain. The mountain here became even steeper. There was only one road leading to the highest peak. At the highest peak, there was a beautiful courtyard.
And that is where the leader of the Linghe Sect, Zhuang Weiye, lives and practices.
Arriving at the entrance of the courtyard, Tang Biao said to a disciple standing outside: Ai Bing, please go in and inform me that I have something to meet with the sect leader.
It was the disciple named Ai Bing who turned around and hurriedly entered the courtyard. He came back after a while and said to Tang Biao: Elder Tang, the sect master has invited you.
So Tang Biao straightened his clothes and led Zhan Chen into the courtyard.
The courtyard is filled with various fairy trees and grasses. The flowers and plants emit bursts of fragrant fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. There are also various birds and birds dancing in the courtyard, small bridges, fountains, and rockery pavilions. It is extremely elegant and really has a kind of charm.
The fantasy feeling of being in a fairyland.
After walking through the avenues and alleys, they came to a villa embedded in flowers and trees. Before they entered the door, they heard a burst of strong laughter from upstairs: Hahaha, Brother Tang, what kind of wind brought you here?
Tang Biao also smiled and said: "Old Ghost Zhuang, this is a good thing. I have brought you a good disciple."
Oh, come up here.
good
Tang Biao and Zhan Chen walked into the villa together, followed the stairs to the highest floor, and upon entering, they saw a handsome middle-aged man, also wearing Taoist robes, sitting on the Taishi chair, holding a jade slip and watching.
When he saw Tang Biao and Zhan Chen coming in, he put down the jade slip and said with a smile: Brother Tang, you are here. Then he looked at Zhan Chen and was startled, and asked again: This is the disciple you mentioned.
Yes, Old Ghost Tang, he is the new disciple recruited by Chen Song and Zhou Ren, and he has high-grade spiritual roots.
Zhan Chen stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Disciple Zhan Chen, I would like to pay my respects to Master Zhuang."
Oh, you really have a high-grade spiritual root seat. Weiye couldn't help but stand up and came to Zhan Chen and asked.
Yes.
Let's test it. Zhuang Weiye said as he took out a spirit-testing stone from the storage ring and handed it to Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen held it and fed a trace of filling energy into it, and the spirit-testing stone immediately glowed red.
Seeing this, Zhuang Weiye was overjoyed and shouted: Great, it is indeed a high-grade spiritual root, and looking at this red light, it is still the best among high-grade spiritual roots.
Haha, Mr. Zhuang, we haven’t met a disciple with such good qualifications for a long time, Tang Biao said.
Zhuang Weiye sighed: Yes, it has been ten years. Most of the outstanding talents have gone to Yuxiao Palace, and I heard that our old enemy Qingfeng Sect Yulin Sect has also recruited several qualified disciples in recent years.
With a huge increase, our Linghe Sect is really in decline. If this momentum continues, we will be at the bottom again when the Nine Sects gather.
No one understands the crisis that the sect is facing better than Zhuang Weiye. As one of the oldest sects in the Cangheng Mountains, the Linghe Sect has been challenged and squeezed by several new immortal sects in recent years, and its living space is shrinking. At this time
To revitalize a sect, talent is the key. If a qualified disciple is carefully cultivated, he can quickly become stronger and become a master in the Immortal Yuan Realm or even the Yuan Shen Realm, greatly increasing the strength of the sect.
Haha, Mr. Zhuang, I have brought you here, but it is up to you to decide how to arrange it.
Zhuang Weiye hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhan Chen, and asked: Zhan Chen, you also heard the conversation I had with Elder Tang just now. According to the rules of our sect, you can choose one of the elders to be your teacher. Do you have any?
Got an idea.
Zhan Chen thought for a while and replied: I am new here and don't know much about everything in the sect, but I can just follow the sect master's instructions.
Zhuang Weiye was stunned for a moment and then said: That's right. I will call all the elders to meet with you in a few days. Then you can understand the situation and then make a choice. Then I will wrong you to stay in the outer dormitory these days.
.
yes
Brother Tang, it’s up to you to arrange Zhan Chen’s food and accommodation for the next few days.
Haha, no problem
Okay, Zhan Chen, you go down and have a good rest first. We will inform you in a few days.
After coming out of Zhuang Weiye's place, Tang Biao arranged a comfortable temporary residence for Zhan Chen so that he could cultivate himself well.
Zhan Chen, on the other hand, continued to consolidate his cultivation while waiting for the moment to meet his future master.
