"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back now."
After the deacon disciples announced their rankings, Zhu Dehai also spoke at the right time.
Then he directly released his wine-red gourd and jumped up. When everyone saw this, they all released their magic weapons and followed him.
Back at Hong Yuefeng, everyone gathered in front of the main hall. Zhu Dehai first arranged for deacon disciple Jiang to give out rewards, then said some words of encouragement and let everyone disperse.
As for Han Changlin, after he declined Wei Qing's invitation, he went straight back to his residence in Changteng Mountain.
It wasn't until shortly after midnight on the second day that Han Changlin woke up in bed.
"It's time to be promoted to become an inner disciple."
Han Changlin, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, murmured to himself.
Although he has achieved a ranking in the top fifty, he still has to go to Hongyue Hall to be promoted to an inner disciple.
After being promoted to an inner disciple, Han Changlin will be exempted from the external affairs mission once every three months. In addition, he can also receive three combined spiritual pills and ten low-grade spiritual stones every month.
After feeding the spirit beasts as usual, Han Changlin walked out of his residence.
Then he tapped the storage bag on his waist to summon the Qingyuan Sword, and then flew in the direction of Hongyue Palace with ease.
If an outer sect disciple wants to be promoted to an inner sect disciple, he must go to Hongyue Hall to register.
There were quite a few monks coming and going in front of Hongyue Hall today, and Han Changlin was also impressed by several of them. They were all outer disciples who had broken through the Yuling Secret Realm yesterday.
At this moment, they all changed into blue robes, which were similar in style to the outer disciples' golden robes, except for the color and material.
After entering the main hall, Han Changlin looked around subconsciously, and then headed straight towards the second floor.
Walking through the spiral staircase, you will see several rooms of medium and small sizes.
"Giggle..."
Arriving at the room on the far right, Han Changlin took a deep breath and knocked lightly a few times.
Not long after, the door opened without any wind, and what came into view was a wizened old man with gray hair and a face like a ravine.
This man was wearing a loose black robe and was currently sleeping on a rocking chair with yellow armrests.
"Uncle Zeng?"
Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Han Changlin was startled at first, and then immediately bowed and saluted. After all, when facing elders, etiquette is still required.
"kindness?"
As soon as Han Changlin's voice fell, Zeng Sheng, who was lying on the rocking chair, slowly opened his eyes.
The turbid eyes focused on Han Changlin. The next moment, a look of surprise flashed through, and then he murmured:
"It's you?"
There was a hint of surprise in his tone. It was obvious that Han Changlin was unexpected when he appeared here.
"Yes, Master Zeng, this junior is here to go through the formalities for promotion to an inner disciple."
Han Changlin saluted again, and then said softly.
"Well, I didn't expect that you would be among the fifty contestants this time. It seems that you have been practicing a little hard. Please bring your identity token."
Zeng Sheng sat up and said.
Although Zeng Sheng is a foundation-building monk, he is now over two hundred years old and is not far from his end. In addition, his physical body has been severely weakened, and there is no hope of forming a pill.
And his qualifications are not very good. In his early years, he was lucky enough to build a foundation due to a chance encounter.
Therefore, he was very curious when he saw Han Changlin become a seventh-level Qi Refining monk with the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots.
As for Han Changlin, he didn't say much. He just took out the identity token he had prepared and handed it over to him.
After a long time, Han Changlin, under the auspices of Master Zeng, offered incense to the ancestors of the Yuling Sect, and then took over the identity token symbolizing the inner disciples from Master Zeng, along with Two inner disciples' blue robes.
It must be said that promotion to an inner disciple was extremely cumbersome and took Han Changlin more than half an hour.
Han Changlin, who took over the identity token and the inner disciple's clothes, also solemnly thanked him.
"Well, Master Nephew Han, from now on, you are the inner disciple of my Yuling Sect. Remember not to slack off in your cultivation and be loyal to the sect. In this way, the sect will not forget you. Remember not to do anything humiliating. The sect’s affairs have come out.”
At this moment, Zeng Sheng also became very solemn.
When Han Changlin heard this, his face straightened, he bowed respectfully and agreed.
Seeing this, Zeng Sheng's face softened slightly and continued:
"That's it. Remember that since you have become an inner disciple, you can go to the first floor of Hongyue Hall and let the deacon disciples arrange a cave for cultivation."
After saying that, he waved his hand and motioned Han Changlin to go down.
Seeing this, Han Changlin bowed respectfully and then slowly withdrew.
…
When Han Changlin came down to the first floor, he had already changed into blue clothes that symbolized the inner disciples.
He was in a good mood at this moment and went straight to one of the stone platforms.
"This senior brother, I'm Han Changlin, has just been promoted to an inner disciple. Please help me arrange a cave for me to practice."
This disciple of Hong Yue Palace is a middle-aged man. Although he wears the golden clothes that represent the outer disciples, his cultivation level is higher than that of Han Changlin after all, so Han Changlin still needs to call him senior brother.
However, there is still a difference in their identities. When the middle-aged monk saw Han Changlin wearing the blue clothes of an inner disciple, his eyes were extremely complicated and seemed to show envy.
Of course, Han Changlin is also extremely wise.
After he finished speaking, he took out a stuffed black small bag from his cuff and handed it over.
Seeing this, the middle-aged monk opposite Han Changlin suddenly smiled. He pushed the black bag that Han Changlin had stuffed under his body, coughed a few times, and said in a gentle voice:
"Senior brother, Ding Yushan, I would like to congratulate you on your promotion to the inner sect."
"As for the cave, there happens to be a good one. The spiritual energy in Yuanling Peak is also quite good. What do you think, junior brother?"
"It's all up to senior brother's arrangement."
Hearing this, Han Changlin just responded with a smile.
Seeing this, Ding Yushan also stood up and said with a smile:
"Then please ask Junior Brother Han to wait here for a moment, and I will go and get the scroll recording the Yuanling Peak Cave for you, Junior Brother Han."
After saying that, Ding Yushan turned around and walked quickly towards the back hall. As for Han Changlin, he sat quietly and waited, thinking that having the spirit stone could indeed do good things.
Han Changlin waited for almost half the time of the incense stick, and Ding Yushan left and returned.
With a smile on his face, he came to Han Changlin. After sitting down, he took out a gray leather scroll from his sleeves, slowly unfolded it, and explained to Han Changlin:
"Junior Brother Han, this is the layout of Yuanling Peak's cave. You see, the caves marked with red dots mean that they are already inhabited, and the caves marked with green dots mean that they are still vacant at this time. Han Junior brother, take a look and see which cave you think is suitable."
Hearing this, Han Changlin nodded and moved his gaze to the scroll.
