After Qian Chao said this, his heart moved, and he continued, "Senior Brother Cheng, I may have considered it a little early, but it's almost time. I am currently at the second level of Qi Refining, and I should be respectful when I reach the third level." The hospital is looking for something to do, and it will be time to leave the sect. Senior Brother Cheng has experienced these things a long time ago and is well-informed. Can you tell me what I should pay attention to when I go out."
"Well, it won't take long to move from the second floor to the third floor. It's time for Junior Brother Qian to listen to this," Cheng Qantang said, "Junior Brother Qian, I see that you don't have many people in the sect who are similar to you in cultivation and who frequently interact with you. , when you reach the third level of cultivation in the future, if you can’t find a companion, how many times can I take you first?”
This is true. Those who entered the inner sect with Qian Chao are now worse than Qian Chao. Naturally, they cannot keep up with Qian Chao when he reaches the third floor. However, in the Chengqi Hall, Qian Chao is a junior. There are a few senior brothers who are good with him, but even if he is better at refining weapons, his cultivation will hinder others after he goes out, at least in the eyes of others. Therefore, Cheng Qantang feels that this junior brother Qian will Going out is a bit awkward, and finding a partner to go out with is not easy.
"There's no need to bother Senior Brother Cheng with this. I had a few friends when I was in Youming Valley. Well, speaking of the five sects in our sect, the five of us each entered one, and our cultivation levels are all the same. Among our nine Although Xuan and I don't know many acquaintances, the five of us often get together and have already made an appointment to go out together."
"Oh, this is rare. It's good. Since we are good friends who have been together during body training, there shouldn't be any discord between them. Then I will tell you."
"First of all, Junior Brother Qian, I guess you should know that Dusha is definitely not the only one who is domineering and unreasonable in our sect, not to mention our Jiuxuan. Dusha is unlucky this time. Do you think he was the one who was so domineering and unreasonable?" Where have all the subordinates gone? Haven’t they all found new backers, they are still the same as before, this is one of them.”
"Secondly, don't think that people like Dusha are the most powerful. You haven't seen the worse ones yet. Speaking of which, Dusha and I have similar backgrounds. We both come from small aristocratic families. Different What's more, I was chosen, and he was sent. It's just a small aristocratic family, and there is nothing to rely on. Those who come from big aristocratic families can often gather more people, and those people don't go out like Dusha with a few people. That's enough, there are really dozens of people together, and people will hide if they see it outside."
"But even if they are like this, they are still not the most powerful. The most powerful are undoubtedly the nephews of the elders in our sect. Our Five Spirits Sect has the most elders who have formed pills, so our Five Spirits Sect can faintly They are at the head of these six sects, and because of this, there are also a lot of children and nephews of these elders in the sect. Those who have reached the foundation building level can be ignored, and the remaining ones who are still in the Qi refining stage really cannot be provoked. Of course, these Not all people are domineering, but a few are enough. The guys mentioned earlier who can gather dozens of people when they go out are all servile and disgusting when you meet them. Which elder doesn't have a few disciples? Most of the disciples of Senior Jiedan are those who build the foundation. For example, Du Sha and the others, even if they are killed by the senior brother who builds the foundation, no one in the sect will know about it, so they are really No one messes with you.”
"In the sect, there are naturally sect rules, and no one dares to make mistakes. But after receiving the sign from the Jingshiyuan, as soon as you leave the sect, the rules are gone. Who has a disagreement with whom, or There are other reasons why they hate each other, and they may start fighting if they don't agree with each other after meeting outside. These are just among ordinary disciples."
"Those powerful guys like to recruit people at the door of Keishi-in to make young men. They also go to Keishi-in to find things to do. For every item they receive, Keishi-in will give them a sign with a detailed list of what they need. Not only do they receive this kind of sign, but they also receive more of it, and then they wait to see who wants to go out, handing their sign to someone else, and then hand it back to them when they are done. Then they go to Jingshiyuan to collect the souls based on this sign. Shi, if people don't obey, they will follow you, and relying on many people outside the sect to beat or rob is very bad."
"Speaking of it outside the sect, monsters are not scary, these guys are the most frightening, especially when I have just reached the third level of Qi refining. Well, speaking of it, I was bullied a lot when I was on the third level. The situation will get better after improvement, which is why I am willing to work for the sect, so that I can have less dealings with those guys."
"You may be curious as to why the sect knew about this kind of thing but let it go. In fact, this can be regarded as something the sect did intentionally. If they don't work hard, the disciples in the sect will always be safe and sound. In the future, when their cultivation is advanced, let go If you go to work outside the sect, how can you deal with all kinds of people in the cultivation world? Aren't you going to suffer all kinds of losses? Let's not talk about the distance, just take my Cheng family as an example. The Cheng family is a small aristocratic family, and there are many aristocratic families around it. It is too common for each other to appear to be in harmony with each other, and to plot against each other in private. If someone is not careful and someone gets caught, or he or she is in danger, it is a big deal for both his family and himself. The world of spiritual practice is so dangerous, Therefore, the disciples within the sect fight with each other outside the sect, and the elders within the sect are well aware of it, but do not care about it. If they cannot restrain or solve this trouble now, they will not be able to deal with the sect even if they have advanced in the future. The door is of no use, can you understand?"
Qian Chao nodded. In fact, what Senior Brother Cheng said is not that difficult. Among the five of them, Tang Ping can probably make many guys quit. Lu Pingchuan has already learned from him, so he can also scare them. It's scary, but you can always gain more insights and know some anecdotes by listening to it.
"Junior Brother Qian, when you come to the third level of Qi Refining in the future, when you go out, start to receive things from the Jingshiyuan. First, don't be greedy for too much, and secondly, don't be greedy for spiritual stones. The more difficult the thing is, the more spiritual stones you will be given in the end, but in that case Things often need to be done far away from the sect. The further away you are, the greater the danger. Pick a few simple things to do first and try to avoid those troublemakers."
"Also, in addition to the domineering guys I told you about before, there is another threat to our sect's Qi refining disciples when they go out, and that is rogue cultivators."
"Rogue cultivator?" Qian Chao asked curiously.
"Well, it is extremely difficult for casual cultivators to practice alone without a teacher, aristocratic family, or sect. Therefore, all casual cultivators are tough-minded people. But casual cultivators have a lot more experience in the practice world than ordinary disciples. The more he has suffered, the more vicious he is in his heart, so he does things unscrupulously. When there are many people in front of him, he will be submissive and submissive. But if he is alone and has little cultivation, these guys will secretly choose people to devour. "
"Why are there still casual cultivators near our sect?" Qian Chao asked.
"Why not? Do you remember that time when you asked your junior brother for your spirit sword? He wanted to sell your spirit sword to several towns outside the sect, where there are many casual cultivators. These The casual cultivators first wanted to look for opportunities there to see if they could enter the sect, and secondly, they wanted to see if they could take advantage. The advantage in question was the Qi Refining disciples who were active near the sect, and those who were alone were rash. If you encounter these guys far away from the sect, you will often be in danger. If you just snatch the storage bag away, I also heard that a rogue cultivator killed a lone Qi refining disciple and wore the deceased's The sect’s jade pendant had been showing off in the sect for quite some time before it was discovered.”
"What happened next?"
"Later? Of course he didn't end well, but this is also a reminder to you, don't take risks in long distances."
Qian Chao nodded after hearing this.
"As for other things, on the second floor of the library, there is a map called "Ye Ying Ping Zong". I recommend you to look for it and take a look. In it, there are some spiritual herbs that may appear near our sect and where. What powerful monsters will be recorded on the map? Although it is not complete, it is still very rare. In addition, Junior Brother Qian likes to read books, so you might as well read more. There are also some miscellaneous notes and travel notes written by senior brothers on the second floor. It’s worth taking a look, you can gain a lot of insights.”
"Well, having said that, I have always been careful when I went out so many times. Most of the time, I had near misses. Only once did I really encounter danger. I can tell Junior Brother Qian to listen, so that I can be more vigilant in the future. .”
"Oh, please speak, Senior Brother Cheng."
"That happened when I was on the fourth level of Qi refining, several years ago. I went out with a junior fellow student named Song, and there were only two of us. One of the things was that we were asked to go outside Collecting ten plants of Elephant's Mouth, well, it can be regarded as a low-level spiritual herb. I had checked the map before and asked people about it, and I roughly knew where it was. But when the two of us got there, we found that it was there, but it was not there. The elephant's hemp is not old enough to be used, and even if it is harvested, it won't count. We have no choice but to continue searching."
"I stayed outside like this for a few days and did a few other things, but I couldn't find these ten elephant hemp plants. If you can't get the sign for the Keishiyuan, you will have to deduct spiritual stones, so the two of us We were also impatient, so later we met a disciple of the sect who was also a Qi practitioner, so we tried to ask him, but the man pointed us to a place and said there was one there. Junior Brother Song and I pressed on that man We searched all the way with his guidance, and sure enough, there were elephant bitches there, and there were quite a few of them, and they were all old enough. That really made us feel relieved. Finally, we didn’t find anything in vain, and we could get everything done.”
"However, when we saw the Elephant's Curse Ma from a distance, we didn't get too close. Fortunately, I had an extra thought at this time. Although this Elephant's Curse Ma is not a high-end and rare spiritual herb, the age of the Elephant's Curse Ma there is There are a lot of them, and they are rare. It is exactly the same as what the person we met before said, but if the person picked these elephant bits back by himself, it would be okay to sell them for dozens of spiritual stones, but why did the person give them up? Don’t you want these spiritual stones? There must be something weird in this.”
"When I told Junior Brother Nasong what I thought of, he also woke up and was not in a hurry to pick the spiritual grass. The two of us hid near there, and sure enough, after a while, we were asked to go there to pick it. The man with the elephant holding the hemp came over quietly. He looked carefully in the air for a long time before he carefully landed. He was more than ten feet away from the elephant and stopped moving closer. He just looked there. stop."
"What do you think he was looking for? Huh! Thinking about it later, he was naturally looking for our bodies to see if he could find and take away the storage bag. The man left without finding anything, but I still don't worry. I still asked Junior Brother Song to continue hiding there with me. Sure enough, after a while, the man came back again. This time he didn't fall behind, but walked around in circles looking for us. It seemed that he knew that the two of us were nearby. It was like hiding. Thanks to the tightness of our hiding, we were not discovered by him. He may have thought that we either didn't come or that we found the danger and left immediately after we came. However, he was reluctant to part with those elephants holding hemp in their mouths, and in the end he took the risk. Pick a few plants.”
"Did he succeed?"
"He almost died there! The method he used was to fly lower and faster, grab an elephant and fly over. Although it would hurt the spiritual grass, it was safer. Huh! He was lying sideways. He quickly flew to Xiang Xianma and just as he stretched out his hand to grab it, dozens of big rat-like monsters suddenly jumped out of the spiritual grass and crawled all over his body. He kept biting and biting, how could that person have the intention to grab the spiritual grass? He screamed and struggled to grab the monsters one by one from his body and throw them away. I later learned that this monster was called a rat, and it was good at it. They can jump up to more than ten feet high. They are good at biting. Even the spirit sword can be broken in their mouths. They are low-level and middle-grade, but they live in groups. They are very difficult to deal with. It is easy for no one to provoke them. That person leads The covered rats screamed and flew away. Junior Brother Song and I were stunned for a long time. Only then did we realize that the rats came out of the cave under the elephant's mouth. The man's cultivation Because we seemed to be more sophisticated than the two of us, we didn't dare to try this idea, so we had to give up. In the end, Keishiin deducted some spiritual stones from us, but it wasn't much, but at that time we heard that it was us. One of Jiu Xuan's senior brothers was almost bitten to death by a rat, and when Yukong flew back to the sect, he was carrying seven or eight rat rats with him, and he was bitten until his skin and flesh were torn, which was horrific."
Qian Chao heard this and said: "What a risk!"
"Yes, it's very dangerous. I said before that the monsters outside are not the most terrifying, but the monks are the most terrifying. I have encountered powerful monsters outside, and I have also fought against people who bullied us because of injustice, but I said The first thing that scares me is this time. Although we were unscathed after the incident, if we hadn't been extra careful, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had the chance to take you junior fellow apprentices with me. I'm not saying this to frustrate junior fellow apprentices. Courage, I just want Junior Brother Qian to be more careful outside."
After hearing this, Qian Chao bowed slightly to Senior Brother Cheng and said, "I understand what Senior Brother Cheng means. Thank you very much, Senior Brother."
Cheng Qantang nodded.
