Chapter 1495 Apprenticeship Ceremony
Excited and sad at the same time. Qian Jiao and Wan told Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting to listen to their master, which made Sun Tingting burst into tears.
On the morning of the fifth day, the two families sent them outside the Shenxin Gate and watched them enter the gate.
The Shenxin Sect is the most famous sect in the local area, and there is indeed a reason for it. Just looking at the area the sect covers is very vast, it covers almost the entire west city of Stone Tail City. The gate is not far from the west city gate. After entering the gate, what appears in Chen Xuan's eyes is a spacious avenue with rows of evergreen trees planted on both sides of the avenue. Outside the trees is an artificial lake with rippling blue waves and fish. Children enjoy traveling.
At the end of the avenue is the square of Shenxinmen. In the center of the square is a huge statue. No need to ask Chen Xuan to know that this must be a famous figure in the history of Shenxinmen.
Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting came to the square under the leadership of the disciples of the Shenxin Sect. The disciple who led them was only fourteen or fifteen years old. It seemed that he had only entered the sect in recent years. But as a disciple of the Shenxin Sect, he is undoubtedly a young and handsome man, so he behaves elegantly and has an air of ecstasy.
But when passing the statue in the square, the disciple still paid his attention to the statue very devoutly, and then continued to lead Chen Xuan and the others forward.
On the way here, this disciple had already asked Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting their names. Chen Xuan also knew that this senior brother's name was Zhu Chunbin, and he was a practitioner of the water system. Although he only started practicing for four years, he has now reached the peak of the sixth level of the mortal realm, and his mental power has reached the fourth level. Chen Xuan didn't know the situation of spiritual power cultivation, but thinking that Du Zisong had only reached the eighth level, he knew that Zhu Chunbin's spiritual power cultivation was indeed excellent.
In the end, Zhu Chunbin led Chen Xuan and the others to the sect's service hall, which was a comprehensive building. There was a huge living room at the front, and there were separate rooms at the back, where the sect's affairs were usually handled. Today should be the time for new disciples to report, so all the deputy sect leaders gathered in the office hall.
In the huge living room, there were five deputy sect masters, three men and two women, sitting there. Chen Xuan knew two of them, of course the Ma sect master and Du Zisong. As for the two female deputy sect masters, one is tall but slightly older, even past the age limit for young women. The other is neither tall nor short, but has sharp eyes, like a steel knife, but she is not very old. It's probably less than thirty to go up.
Chen Xuan made eye contact with the steel sword, and quickly withdrew his gaze, but he couldn't help but feel a big fear in his heart. "Such a young deputy sect master, with such a sharp vision, is really unique. This person is definitely not easy to mess with, remember this!" Chen Xuan warned himself.
The last one was a short, fat man with a plain appearance. He could be forty, fifty, or sixty years old. It was impossible to tell.
"This is Chen Xuan, and he will be my disciple from now on. This is Sun Tingting, who is Chen Xuan's good friend. According to regulations, she is a disciple of Master Li." Du Zisong spoke, and he especially emphasized that Sun Tingting is Chen Xuan's best friend. My friend, this was meant to be a joke, which made Chen Xuan very embarrassed. Master Ma and Master Li smiled slightly, but the steel-sword eyes and the fat man still had a straight face.
"This is the leader of the Fire Sect, Master Ma, and this is the Master of the Water Sect, Sect Li, who is your master, Sun Tingting. This is the master of the Earth Sect, Master Tu, and this is the master of the Gold Sect. Lord." Du Zisong introduced his people to Chen Xuan and the others. Only then did Chen Xuan realize that the older female deputy sect leader was Sun Tingting's master, and the younger one turned out to be the deputy sect leader of the metal system. No wonder the eyes like steel knives turned out to be metal!
"From now on, if you have any problems, you can come directly to the five of us, because the entire sect's affairs will be handled directly by the five of us."
"Next is the master recognition ceremony. Chen Xuan, come quickly and recognize your master," Du Zisong said seriously. "Sun Tingting, you should also recognize Sect Leader Li as your master!"
"Kowtow three times and call Master, the ceremony is completed."
Chen Xuan kowtowed to Du Zisong three times as instructed, and called him "Master" again. Sun Tingting followed suit, but Sect Master Li took out a jade pendant and handed it to Sun Tingting, saying, "This is a piece of heart-warming jade. I give it to you as a teacher. After all, you may be my last disciple." Sect Master Li is now at the peak of the eighth level of spiritual power. It is estimated that it will not be long before she breaks through to the ninth level. By then she will become an elder, but she will lose the qualification to continue to accept disciples.
Du Zisong couldn't help but blush when he saw the gift given by Sect Master Li, and said sarcastically: "I have prepared it in a hurry for my master. I will definitely make up for the gift for you in the future."
"Thank you, master." Chen Xuan said loudly. This made Du Zisong's face blush even more.
"Come on, you brat, I'll take you to where you live now. Don't go to the wrong place in the future." So Du Zisong walked in front, Chen Xuan followed behind, passed through a patch of flowers, and then walked along a path , he arrived at a small house. This house was not far from the office hall, and there were no other buildings around the house. Chen Xuan felt strange, did he live here alone? No companion?
"By the way. You have to pay attention. Although you and Sun Tingting are good friends, you are not allowed to enter each other's dormitory before reaching the cultivator realm. If you violate the rules, the door rules will be dealt with seriously. This is to purify your thoughts. , the rules were set after you have gone further in martial arts principles." Du Zisong said seriously.
"Can I talk when I'm outside normally?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Hey, you stupid boy, follow the rules yourself." With a snap, a thick book was thrown out by Du Zisong.
"So thick!" Chen Xuan was shocked. I quickly opened it and took a look. Fortunately, it not only talked about the sect rules, but also recorded the history of the sect and other knowledge.
After Du Zisong left, Chen Xuan began his life in Shenxinmen. The first thing he had to do was to clear up the thick book left by Du Zisong. Because this book is very important. It starts from the history of Shenxin Sect, to the basic reality, to how the disciples survive and develop in the sect, and finally the various rules and regulations of the sect. It can be said that this is Chen Xuan’s life in Shenxin Sect. General outline. It does have a very formal name, it's called "Getting Started".
Opening the manual, the first category is about the history of the Divine Heart Sect. Shenxin Sect is a sect founded by the first founder Ren Zhuifeng thousands of years ago. The statue of the man in the square belongs to Ren Zhuifeng. The reason why Ren Zhuifeng founded the Shenxin Sect was because he received a inheritance during a secret adventure. The inheritance required him to establish a sect based on the spiritual power cultivation method he obtained. But Ren Zhuifeng was a free-spirited person by nature and had little interest in founding a sect. Under this situation, he thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. First of all, he strictly selected the first batch of disciples based on his own prestige, and spent twenty years teaching these disciples to the level of the strongest people in the mainland. Then the rules were set, that is, the five-element disciples who had recently broken through to the eighth level of spiritual power would become deputy sect leaders, a total of five, who would fully take charge of all affairs within the sect.
If a new disciple reaches the eighth level, the original deputy sect leader will automatically become the sect elder. And if the current deputy sect leader breaks through to the ninth level, this deputy sect leader will become a senior elder, and the position of deputy sect leader will be held by the elder who is promoted to the eighth level at the latest.
All disciples, as long as they can break through to the tenth level of spiritual power, can become Supreme Elders. Generally speaking, these supreme elders have reached the level of semi-immortal realm, and are already the top beings on this continent.
Eight hundred years ago, Ren Zhuifeng went to the fairy world, and the position of the sect leader who stayed behind became a symbolic existence, usually born among the strong ones above the ninth level. Of course, it is voted by all disciples of the eighth level and above. The people chosen are basically those who have made special contributions to the Shenxin Sect, or have great influence in the surroundings, because the sect leader only represents the image of the Shenxin Sect. It is most appropriate to choose this kind of person to take charge.
So fundamentally speaking, the affairs of the Shenxin Sect are mainly managed by the five deputy sect leaders. Being a deputy sect leader is actually a kind of responsibility. It can only be done after oneself breaks through, or after a disciple of the same five elements breaks through to the eighth level. Only then can he be relieved of his duties automatically and start practicing with full concentration. As the saying goes, every disadvantage must be beneficial. Although the deputy sect leader has to deal with various complicated affairs, he can also obtain a lot of resources, because this involves the sect's reward and punishment system. Being the deputy sect leader is to complete the sect's tasks. But as long as the task is completed, the sect's rewards will be very generous. In addition to resources, the position of deputy sect leader is also very effective in training people's various abilities, needless to say.
The second major category in the book is about tasks and rewards and punishments. The types of tasks in the Shenxin Sect are all kinds of weird. As long as they are not doing evil or harming others and benefiting oneself, they can be issued as tasks. It can be as big as maintaining human survival and the safety of sects, as small as removing weeds in the garden and cleaning the square. Everything can be used as a task. release. The issuer of the task is the owner of Shenxin Sect. Whoever posts the task will provide the reward. Of course, the biggest publishers of tasks are the five deputy sect leaders, because most of the time they issue tasks on behalf of the sect.
There are no restrictions on publishing tasks, you only need to provide equivalent rewards. But there are tasks to accept. For example, in the second year of entry, you can no longer accept the task of cleaning, and when you reach the third level of mental power, you cannot accept the task of helping the kitchen slaughter animals, etc. The main reason is that Shenxin Sect disciples only need to complete twelve tasks every year. Even if they complete the basic tasks, they can get the most basic resources distributed by the sect. In order to ensure that low-level cultivators can have sufficient tasks, it is of course very necessary to not allow high-level cultivators to preempt their tasks.
However, you cannot accept tasks issued by yourself, otherwise the effect of the task will be ineffective.
