"Huh? This is..."
"It's not a small thing to show respect. I may have many questions to ask fellow Taoist."
Seeing the light and surprise in the other person's eyes, Qingyun secretly said that he had guessed it right.
Yes, since the monks who guarded the city refused to accept the spirit stones, he guessed that the development of the area around Zhijing Dongtian must be very prosperous. Except for the medium and high-grade spirit stones, they might not look down on them.
But if he directly took out the high-grade spirit stone, he might be jealous of others, so Qingyun took out a piece of spiritual purple zhi obtained from the thirty-three realms. This thing was made by the young man to break the wall for Yao Pofeng. Dan was obtained through deliberate search.
At first, the two brothers tried their best but couldn't find it, but after fighting more and more, Qingyun found it from a certain old brother who was dying on the battlefield. It was a coincidence.
Seeing the immortal Zizhi, Qingyun found that this person's expression changed several times. From a little disdain at the beginning, to surprise later, and now struggle, the inner drama was vividly performed.
This made the young master couldn't help but chuckle to himself. How could he be assigned the responsibility of guiding someone with his emotions so expressive?
"This spiritual fairy Zizhi...comes from some small world?"
He asked, staring at Qingyun's hand without blinking.
"Tao friendly eyesight."
With that said, the young man pushed Lingxian Zizhi directly under the counter. He was so frightened that he quickly held it with both hands, fearing that he would lose his arms and legs.
"Fellow Taoist...you..."
“Having money can make the world go round, but spending a little money will save you the trouble.”
Of course, this was just Qingyun's inner murmur, but he smiled and shook his head:
"I'm new to this precious land, and I'm not familiar with it. If I can get advice from noble people, I can avoid many detours."
"If...that's the case...it would be disrespectful..."
Carefully putting the fairy purple ganoderma into his treasure bag, this person's attitude towards Qingyun immediately became much kinder. Of course, he was actually quite polite just now, but now he has a more intimate touch.
"It seems that the alchemist really loves spiritual materials more than spiritual stones!"
Qingyun sighed silently in his heart.
"Introducing myself, my surname is Chong, and my single name is Guanzi. I am a disciple of Yuquan Cave, one of the four caves in Zhijing Cave."
This introduction was quite formal, which also made the young master secretly laugh at the amazing power of the fairy Zizhi.
"Qingyun has met Brother Chong."
The sound of Brother Chong narrowed the distance between the two. After Chongguan completed the registration for Qingyun, he said:
"Brother Qingyun, please put a drop of blood on your jade medal."
He did as he was told, and saw that the originally light brown jade plaque first showed a wave of bright red. After it disappeared, Chongguan said again:
"Please inject spiritual power again."
I followed my words again, but at this time, an illusory light curtain appeared above the jade tablet. It not only contained Qingyun's identity information, but also the geographical distribution of various pavilions and places in Zhijing Cave. It was very magical.
At the same time, Chongguan said with a teasing smile:
"Brother Qingyun, I have been working as a guide here for some years, and I have met many children from aristocratic families, but this is the first time I have met someone with their family members. I think the head of the Long family should be quite satisfied with your son-in-law riding a dragon. ?”
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Qingyun immediately opened his mouth, and the pretty face under Long Fushi's mask was as red as a big apple.
"Haha, I'm not lying. I know that the number of disciples in Jingdongtian is very hard to find. There are people from the four sects in the three days trying to get in. The head of the Long family is actually willing to give you this great good thing?"
Chongguan's elegant face was filled with pride, and these words allowed Qingyun to roughly guess the reason for the misunderstanding.
However, he did not explain directly, but smiled and asked about the details of this magical jade token and enrollment.
"I won't explain the function of the jade tablet in detail. You can explore it by yourself after you enter the cave. It's very simple. As for the sect, didn't the head of the Long family tell you?"
"I left in a hurry, without giving any details."
The young master had no choice but to prevaricate.
"It doesn't matter."
Lingxian Zizhi opened the way, Chongguan was not impatient at all, and gave a general introduction.
It turns out that Zhijing Cave is divided into two palaces and four caves. The two palaces are Xingzhi Palace and Shoujing Palace, which are respectively responsible for identifying medicinal materials and opening furnaces to make elixirs. The four caves are Zixia Cave, Jiangyun Cave, and Hanchan Cave. and Yuquan Cave.
Its structure is different from the inner and outer courtyards of ordinary sects, and is more similar to a mortal school. The four holes are junior and the two palaces are advanced. After being certified by the two palaces, you can graduate and become a real alchemist.
Each of the four caves has its own camp, and every year there are various competitions on alchemy. Of course, there are also cultivation and the like, but it is definitely not as prosperous as alchemy here.
In fact, you can become a certified alchemist after completing your studies and school exams in the Fourth Dong, but the gold content is much lower than that in the Two Palaces, so generally monks who can complete their studies in the Four Dongs will most likely choose to study in the Second Palace.
Those with outstanding performance in the two palaces will also be arranged to return to the fourth cave to teach. Such a virtuous cycle creates a prosperous and sunny atmosphere for the entire Zhijing Cave School.
Qingyun has a pure appearance and a humble attitude. Although he is a member of an aristocratic family, he quickly won the favor of Chongguan, which made him couldn't help but remind him:
"Brother Qingyun, although there is something unpleasant to hear, I still have to tell you in advance."
"Brother Chong, please give me some advice."
"Well, disciples like you who come in through connections are called junior disciples, and many of them do not have strong talent and foundation in alchemy. You must know that although most of the alchemy masters are not strong in cultivation, their followers But he is never a hard worker."
"oh?"
Chongguan glanced behind Qingyun and then said:
"Don't think that all Zhijing Cave Heaven is filled with alchemy masters. There are also many powerful monks living in it, such as Elder Hua Yingguan, the adopted son of Elder Yan. Although he is not good at alchemy, his cultivation level far exceeds that of Elder Yan. Senior Li is also responsible for the safety of his elderly family."
"Brother Chong, do you want to say that junior disciples are easily hostile to the monks who are admitted to the regular school?"
"Brother Qingyun, just understand."
Chongguan nodded happily, secretly thinking that this kid is really on his way, and then continued:
"To be blunt, most of the Jiangyun Cave among the four caves are children of aristocratic families like you. To put it bluntly, Zhijing Cave Heaven values your business ability rather than your alchemy talent. For example, the Long family is The suppliers who provide demon clan spiritual materials to the sect, and for example, a certain student arranged by Xuanji Pavilion in a certain place, so I think you should know better, right?"
"clear."
Qingyun nodded, it seems that in order to live, Zhijingdongtian must not be exempted from the vulgarity.
"As the saying goes, you need to sign up for a group to keep warm. Of course, not all Jiangyun Cave has bad grades. In a word, Zhijing Cave requires cultivation, but it also requires alchemy attainments. I hope Brother Qingyun will bear in mind."
"Thank you, Brother Chong, for your advice!"
The young master said gratefully.
"Don't worry, I'm not finished yet."
"Haha, Brother Chong, you are really..."
"This is my job."
Chongguan smiled, shook his head, and continued:
"In fact, you can choose to join any of the four holes. This is the only privilege for junior students. After all, you are either our rich man or a high-quality supplier, so you have to have good relationships. ~”
Amid Young Master's awkward laughter, Chongguan continued:
"Zixia Cave is usually chosen by sect disciples, or monks with alchemy attainments within the sect, while Hanchan Cave is chosen by casual cultivators and disciples of other kinds. As for Yuquan Cave, people like me This kind of native-born disciple of our sect is admitted to the school.”
"Native born and raised?"
Qingyun said in surprise.
"Yes! The history of Zhijing Dongtian is actually not shorter than that of the Three Heavenly Sects and Four Sects, and it is even no worse than any of them in terms of financial resources and heritage. And the sect itself is a complete small world with a radius of its own, so naturally there will be things like Someone like me who was born inside.”
Having said this, Chongguan's face once again showed a hint of pride.
"Then why hasn't Zhijing Dongtian developed and become one of the giants in Kyushu?"
"Because one's energy is limited in one's life, being obsessed with alchemy has greatly weakened the high-end combat power of our sect. This is why the alchemist has a high status, but needs the protection of followers who are much stronger than his own cultivation. , the same is true for Linglong Pavilion, the Holy Land of Weapon Refining."
"It seems like it's hard to get along no matter what you do."
The young man teased with a smile.
"Haha~ That's right. In addition, Yuquan Cave is also a holy place for Alchemist's followers, including Alchemist himself, to improve their cultivation. You will know it after entering."
Changing the conversation, Chong Guan asked:
"So, Brother Qingyun, which school do you want to attend?"
"I would like to ask Brother Chong, are the teachers in each cave and the difficulty of entering higher education the same?"
After pondering for a moment, Qingyun frowned and asked.
"I find that Brother Qingyun can hit the point every time!"
"Miscellaneous praise."
The young man hugged his fists.
"I can tell you responsibly, the same! Not to mention going to school, if you fail to graduate in the four caves for a long time, no matter you are a sect or aristocratic family, they will all be expelled. There will be no mercy!"
"Okay, okay, can we discuss it?"
"Of course, Brother Qingyun, please do it!"
After saying that, the young master took Long Fushi and Alian out of Xuming Tower and stopped between the barrier and the gate.
"What do you think?"
Qingyun first set his sights on Long Fu Shi.
"According to Chongguan's introduction, although Mr. Yan has retreated to the second line and has long been unstable, his status and influence are far above those of the sect masters who rule the two palaces. If you want to meet him who lives in seclusion, it will be extremely difficult. , let alone Hua Yumian, who is a female family member in the inner circle."
Long Fushi did not rush to answer Qingyun's question, but simply analyzed it.
"Yes, that's what I thought too. The purpose of this trip is not to study, but to find a way to get close to Sister Yumian and Yan Lao, so as to prevent or delay her marriage."
The young man nodded.
"But Yunlang, didn't Chongguan just say that the two palaces, except for enrollment and enrollment, the students from the fourth cave have no right to set foot in the two palaces. Even if they are taught in a unified manner, it depends on the schedule, and they are heavily guarded. How can we let them go?" Are we running around?"
Alian also felt a little difficult to handle.
