Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Zhan Chen has been working as a handyman in the Golden Elephant Sect for more than a month. During this time, he has basically understood the situation within the sect. Although the Golden Elephant Sect is only a small sect, it has a heritage of nearly five thousand years.
Among them, there are more than 30,300 warriors. From the lowest level to the highest level, they are divided into handymen, outer disciples, inner disciples, elite disciples, sect elders, and the top leaders and supreme elders.
Among them, the outer sect disciples are the main body of the sect, with a total of 30,000 people; the inner sect disciples only have more than 300 people, and their cultivation levels are all above those of martial arts masters, and the top ten strongest among them are called elite disciples;
The elders' cultivation is above that of the Martial King; while the headmaster and the Supreme Elder both have the strength of the Martial King.
However, the number of handymen like Zhan Chen is not large, there are only more than 200 people, and these more than 200 people are responsible for the daily living and cultivation of more than 30,000 people. Therefore, they are usually very busy and have no time to practice.
Moreover, the handymen are only paid 50 taels of wages every month. Even with this 50 taels of wages, they also have to pay 10 taels of regular wages to the senior manager.
So in private, everyone calls Zhao Yan Zhao Mosquito, which means that everyone has to be sucked by him.
However, Zhan Chen was different from other handymen. Instead, he was even more filial to Zhao Yan. He paid as much as 50 taels of regular money this month alone and often gave him small favors.
With his unremitting efforts, Zhao Yan finally regarded him as one of his own, and the work he gave him was particularly easy. Therefore, Zhan Chen actually had a lot more free time than other handymen.
In the early morning, when Zhan Chen passed the school grounds, he heard roars of hehehehaha from a distance. These were the outer disciples practicing martial arts. He couldn't help but walk in and take a look, and was shocked by their momentum.
In the vast school grounds, there are a large number of martial artists. Their cultivation levels range from the tenth level of martial arts to the twelfth level of martial arts. Under the leadership of their instructors, they perform neat martial arts routines. And this martial arts routine is the most famous one in the past.
For those who have never been exposed to it, it is different from the hard and fierce punching style of ordinary routines. Instead, it is hard but soft, with a relaxed fist style and a faint inner style.
This must be the Sihe Quan, the introductory internal skill of outer disciples. Zhan Chen thought silently.
Now he is no longer the novice that he was when he first started. It turns out that there are two major branches in Kung Fu, one is called martial arts that is used in combat; the other is called internal skills that are used for cultivation.
.
The difference between the two is that one is a loss and the other is a benefit. Martial arts are mainly based on the explosion and consumption of true energy, and cannot improve the cultivation level; but the internal skills and mental skills are just the opposite, they exist to absorb and temper the true energy.
, long-term practice of inner strength and mental methods, your cultivation level will become higher and higher.
The Sihequan is an internal skill and mental method that combines certain martial arts moves. Of course, the level is the lowest level, the yellow-level elementary level, and it is only suitable for martial arts disciples to practice.
However, the value of this basic Huang-level internal skill and mental method is not inferior to that of the top-level Huang-level martial arts. Because among the skills, the number of internal skills and mental skills is less than one percent of the martial arts, and it is hard to find a copy.
They can only be found in some families and sects.
I must enter the outer sect as soon as possible and learn this internal skill and mental method as soon as possible. Zhan Chen couldn't help but clenched his fists secretly. Without the internal skill and mental method, his cultivation progress was extremely slow.
That night, Zhan Chen invited Zhao Yan to a restaurant for a drink again, this time it was just the two of them.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhan Chen took advantage of Zhao Yan's high spirits and asked: Senior Brother, is there a way for me to join the outer sect?
Zhao Yan shook his head and said: This matter is basically out of the question. The rules in the sect are strict. Even if you are one of your own, you must reach the tenth level of martial arts before you can hope to enter the outer gate.
Is there really no hope? Zhan Chen is a little lonely.
Why are you so eager to join the outer sect?
Is it necessary to say that outer disciples can learn internal skills and mental methods?
Zhao Yan was silent. Yes, the sect stipulates that internal skills and inner skills must never be leaked. Once discovered, a strict investigation will be carried out, and anyone involved in this matter will be executed.
Senior brother, if you can allow me to enter the outer gate, I will express my gratitude to you and express my gratitude to you when the job is done.
You just said that you only need to learn internal skills and mental methods. Zhao Yan raised his head and looked at him.
Yes. Zhan Chen was a little confused and didn’t know.
Okay, I have a way to do this, but you have to give me three thousand taels of silver when it's done.
Zhan Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, he hasn't spent all the money he got from Wang Ba."
Zhao Yan smiled and said: Rules are dead, but people are alive. I may not be able to help you, but my uncle can. He is an elder in the sect.
Oh, Zhan Chen suddenly felt energetic.
The power of the sect elders is second only to the headmaster and the Supreme Elder.
Let me tell you and ask him to accept you as a registered disciple, so that you can openly learn the internal skills and mental methods. After reaching the tenth level of martial arts, you can join the outer sect.
Thank you very much, brother. I will be sure to follow your lead in the future. Zhan Chen became energetic and stood up to bow to Zhao Yan.
Okay, okay, I have to try this thing again. Whether it succeeds or not depends on your luck.
After the two separated, Zhan Chen was busy every day as usual, but he was always eagerly looking forward to the news from Zhao Yan. After more than half a month, Zhao Yan finally came to him on his own initiative, with a happy face.
.
As soon as Zhan Chen met him, he asked: Senior brother, there is news.
Zhao Yan nodded and said: You're lucky, my uncle promised to meet you, so you can come with me right away.
Well, Zhan Chen was overjoyed.
The two of them went down the mountain one after another, crossing the mountain paths and walking towards a towering mountain peak.
On the way, Zhao Yan also gave Zhan Chen some advice: My uncle is called Zhao He, Feiyun Peak is his training cave, and he is the great elder of our sect's alchemy room.
Zhan Chen in the alchemy room couldn't help but shout.
It was a good place. I never thought that Zhao Yan had such a good uncle. In this world, besides practicing exercises to improve your cultivation, there is another thing that can do it, and that is elixirs and elixirs.
Pills are made from elixirs. Good pills have the miraculous effect of quickly improving one's cultivation level. They are what warriors dream of.
So Zhan Chen wouldn't be happy to have a glimpse of it in the alchemy room. And if he accepts him as a registered disciple, it will be a smooth journey for him to improve his cultivation level in the future.
But you must remember and understand the rules. The majesty of the strong is inviolable. Especially with your low cultivation level, it is unprecedented for you to be accepted as a registered disciple. If you make any mistakes, your achievements will fall short.
Yes, senior brother
Zhan Chen could see that Zhao Yan had really put in a lot of effort for these three thousand taels of silver. Sometimes villains are more efficient than gentlemen. If he were replaced by another selfless person as the general manager, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to win.
There is no chance at Shanmen.
After passing through the winding mountain road, the two came to the top of Feiyun Peak. The first thing they saw was a magnificent courtyard, covering an area of 5,000 square meters. Many rare plants and flowers were planted in it, and there was also a waterside pavilion.
tower.
It was the first time for Zhan Chen to enter such an elegant and luxurious place, and he was fascinated by it for a while.
Zhao Yan proudly showed off to him: "How are you? You have never seen this momentum. If you are taken aback by my uncle, you will have the opportunity to come in and out of here often in the future."
When Zhan Chen heard this, he quickly suppressed his curiosity and concentrated on dealing with Elder Zhao He. Yes, his cultivation was not good enough, and there was still a test waiting for him.
At the end of the courtyard, there is a main hall. There is purple smoke lingering above the main hall. This may be the smoke caused by alchemy.
There were two outer disciples guarding the door of the main hall. They obviously knew Zhao Yan and did not stop him, so they walked directly into the main hall.
As soon as I entered, I heard a burst of scolding: What did you three do? You can't even make the most basic rejuvenation elixir. It's a shame that you are still my disciples. My old face will be completely disgraced by you.
An old Taoist with white hair and beard held his hands behind his back and scolded the three people who were kneeling. However, these three people had their heads lying on the ground and did not dare to look at the old Taoist in front of them.
At this time, Zhao Yan dared to step forward, cupped his hands and said: "I would like to meet my uncle and meet my three senior brothers and sisters."
It turned out that the person was Zhao He. He raised his head and said, "Yan'er, here you come." Then he shouted to the three people kneeling below: "You three useless things, why don't you get out of here!"
The three martial arts masters kneeling on the ground hurriedly left the hall as if they had been granted amnesty.
Zhao He was obviously still angry, and Zhan Chen couldn't help but feel a little frightened. It seemed that he came at the wrong time today.
But Zhao Yan didn't care about that and said directly to Zhao He: Uncle, the person behind is Zhan Chen whom I mentioned to you several times. He is young and promising.
Zhao He looked at Zhan Chen angrily, his eyes shooting out two rays of light.
But Zhan Chen had a different feeling. He felt that the eyes Zhao He looked at him had a mind-blowing sense of oppression, forcing people not to look directly at him.
But how could Zhan Chen, who had always refused to admit defeat, be convinced by this? He looked at him calmly and without fear, looking neither humble nor arrogant.
The anger in Zhao He's heart suddenly disappeared, and he was surprised for a while, as if he had seen a treasure. He thought to himself: This kid Zhao Yan is usually uneducated and only makes trouble for me. Unexpectedly, he actually made friends with a person. Although this kid has extremely high cultivation
He is low, but he has a strong will and strong bones. He is definitely not a thing in the pond. It’s okay, I will be kind to him today, and maybe there will be unexpected surprises in the future.
So he nodded and praised: Not bad, not bad. My name is Zhan Chen.
Yes.
You are willing to come to my door
Zhan Chen was also shocked. He didn't expect it to be so easy. It turned out that he was still thinking that he might not succeed this time. How could he dare to hesitate? He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao He: Master, please accept my disciple's bow.
Zhao He chuckled and said: Okay, I will accept you as my disciple. It’s just that your cultivation level is too low. For the time being, you can only be regarded as a registered disciple and be admitted to Feiyun Peak. Are you willing to do this?
Master, your words are serious. My disciple is already flattered to be your disciple. How dare he have any objections?
From now on, I will allow you to enter and leave Feiyun Peak freely. Yan'er, please take him to make an identity token.
Zhao Yan was also very happy, but what he thought about was that he had already obtained the three thousand taels of silver.
