Xiaoding led Su Lanlan to report to Tianyang Sect, and they were received by a Taoist named Zheng. Xiao Ding didn't know what this Taoist's Taoist name was. He only heard other disciples call him Uncle Zheng, so he also called him that.
Uncle Zheng held the jade tokens of Xiao Ding and Su Lanlan. First, he was happy when he saw Su Lanlan's jade token. Then, when he saw Xiao Ding's jade token, his joy instantly dropped.
It turned out that these two jade tablets recorded the results of Xiaoding and Su Lanlan's Tiangen test. Master Zheng was overjoyed when he saw Su Lanlan's single-line Lei Tiangen, but he was naturally disappointed when he saw that Xiao Ding didn't have any Tiangen.
To talk about the various immortal cultivating sects on Kunxing Continent today, if they want to develop and grow, the most fundamental factor is to have talents. Only by having a large number of disciples with good bones and high qualifications will they have the opportunity to succeed in the future. The sect flourished. If the disciples recruited are all people like Xiao Ding who have no cultivation talent, how can they strengthen their family in the future?
Uncle Zheng, as one of the elders of the Tianyang Sect, naturally has to think more about the future development of the sect.
So Uncle Zheng returned the two jade plaques to Xiaoding and Su Lanlan, and then continued: "Tian Xiaoding, you don't have Tiangen, we can only accept you as an outer disciple. Later, I will arrange for you to work at Kaiyang Peak. If you are willing to work hard, make breakthroughs in cultivation, and successfully build a foundation within fifty years, we can also accept you as an inner disciple."
Tian Xiaoding was disliked by others and had mixed feelings in his heart. He wanted to turn around and say goodbye and go down the mountain. Then he thought again: It doesn't matter what happened once he left, but there is Su Lanlan beside him. Now with his third level of Qi training, It was very difficult to even save one's own life, let alone take good care of Su Lanlan.
Although Tianyang Sect is a small and unpopular sect, since it can survive in this world of cultivating immortals, it naturally has some foundation. He and Su Lanlan have committed themselves to this. Although he has been aggrieved, Su Lanlan can get preferential treatment. The two of them can also get the protection of the sect for the time being, so that they are not precarious and put themselves in danger at any time.
So, Xiao Ding nodded and said, "It's all up to Uncle Zheng's arrangement!"
Uncle Zheng turned to look at Su Lanlan again and said: "Su Lanlan, you have very good qualifications. You have a single line of Lei Tiangen. If you practice with peace of mind and work hard, your future will be limitless. I will take you to meet the leader later to see Whose sect will the leader place you under?"
Su Lanlan also bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Master Zheng!"
When Master Zheng saw Xiao Ding and Su Lanlan both nodding in agreement, he looked at the door again, raised his voice and shouted: "Zhang Datong, come in!"
I heard someone answer outside the door, and then a burly young man opened the door and walked in. He came to Master Zheng, bent down and saluted, and said, "Disciple pays homage to the master. I wonder what the master has ordered?"
Master Zheng waved his hand to Zhang Datong, then pointed at Xiao Ding and introduced: "This is the outer disciple newly recruited by your Master Xia. His name is Tian Xiaoding. You should take him to Kaiyang Peak now to find your Yu." Uncle Heng, ask him to arrange things for you, Junior Brother Tian."
"Yes, Master, disciple, go now." Zhang Datong saluted and replied, then turned around and hugged Xiao Ding: "Junior Brother Tian, come with me!"
Xiao Ding listened to the arrangement of Uncle Zheng and knew that Uncle Zheng was going to take Su Lanlan to meet the leader. However, he, an outer disciple, did not even have a chance to meet the leader, so he directly sent him something to open the door to. Yang Feng was probably sent to work as a coolie.
However, Xiao Ding did not say much, but followed the disciple named Zhang Datong out of the room. Su Lanlan was left behind.
On the way to Kaiyang Peak, Zhang Datong took the initiative to introduce some information about Tianyang Sect to Xiao Ding.
It turns out that Tianyang Mountain, where the Tianyang Sect is located, has a total of eight peaks. The middle and highest one is called Shouyang Peak. It is the center of the sect, and the leader Tianshu Zhenren is seated here. When discussing matters big or small within the sect, the elders and chiefs are all summoned here for a meeting to discuss.
As for the Kaiyang Peak that Zhang Datong wants to lead Xiao Ding to, its first elder is named Yuheng Zhenren. Most of the disciples gathered in Kaiyang Peak are outer sect disciples. The daily responsibility of Kaiyang Peak is mainly the logistics work of Tianyang Sect. To put it simply, it is responsible for trivial matters such as food, clothing, housing and transportation for the entire sect. .
Immortal cultivators cannot achieve fasting before establishing the foundation, and most of the disciples of Tianyang Sect are still in the Qi training stage, so they cannot do without three meals a day and eating, drinking and sleeping. .
In addition to Shouyang Peak and Kaiyang Peak, the other six peaks are: Hengyang Peak, Yuyang Peak, Xuanyang Peak, Luoyang Peak, Pingyang Peak and Kuiyang Peak.
Among them, the ones recruited on Hengyang Peak and Yuyang Peak are all female disciples, and their first elders are Master Hengyue and Master Tianyao respectively. The people on these two peaks only focus on their cultivation and ignore the trivial matters of the sect.
The first elder of Xuanyang Peak is the old Taoist Xiao Ding met in Chuanyun Town. His family name is Xia and his Taoist name is Xuanguang Zhenren. People from Xuanyang Peak are mainly responsible for recruiting and managing disciples.
The Uncle Zheng who received Xiao Ding was the leader of Pingyang Peak. His Taoist name was Wu Dou Zhenren, and his surname was Zheng. Like Master Xuan Guang, the leader of Xuanyang Peak whose surname is Xia, because they all became monks halfway and their time as monks was still short, the disciples in the sect still used to call them by their lay surnames, Uncle Xia and Uncle Zheng. Pingyang Feng's main responsibility in the sect is to teach skills, that is, to teach the skills and inheritance of Tianyang Sect to many disciples in the sect.
Of the remaining two peaks, Luoyang Peak is mainly responsible for planting medicinal fields and refining elixirs, and its first elder is named Tianquan Zhenren; Kuiyang Peak is mainly responsible for law enforcement, equivalent to the role of the Discipline Hall, and its first elder is Tiankui real person.
Zhang Datong also told Xiao Ding that within the Tianyang Sect, no one could fly with a sword. Fortunately, there are suspended bridges connecting each peak, so there is no need to go down the mountain and walk on the mountain trails.
While talking, the two of them arrived at the suspended bridge connecting Shouyang Peak and Kaiyang Peak. I saw several iron cables connected to the cliffs at the edges of the two peaks, with wooden boards covering the iron cables. The wooden board seemed solid, but the bridge deck was suspended in mid-air and was swayed by the mountain wind. No matter how Xiao Ding looked at it, he felt that it was unstable. The suspended bridge only had a bridge deck and no handrails. If you walked on it, If your feet sway a few times, you might end up falling into the abyss.
Zhang Datong walked in front to lead the way, but he didn't see any timidity. He stepped directly onto the bridge, then walked steadily towards the front with flying strides.
Xiao Ding also imitated Zhang Datong and walked to the bridge. As a result, the bridge swayed and he immediately felt that his legs began to tremble a little.
After calming down, Xiao Ding quickly used the light weight technique to reduce the impact of his own weight on the bridge. This time he felt that his feet were not shaking as much as before, and his steps were much more steady.
The suspended bridge was dozens of feet away. Seeing that Xiao Ding had followed, Zhang Datong ignored Xiao Ding and just walked in front to lead the way.
When the two of them crossed the suspended bridge and arrived at Kaiyang Peak, Xiao Ding's heart that had been hanging on him quietly let go. Seeing Zhang Datong's nonchalant look, he knew that their former disciples of Tianyang Sect were already accustomed to walking on this suspended bridge, but Xiao Ding still had to use the light body technique to assist him in order to cross the bridge smoothly.
There are also many buildings built on Kaiyang Peak, most of which are made of stone and wood. After all, stone and wood are available on the top of the mountain and can be obtained locally.
Zhang Datong led Xiao Ding directly towards the tallest and grandest hall in the middle of the building complex.
There were guards at the entrance of the hall. When they saw Zhang Datong coming, both parties took the initiative to say hello. Xiao Ding could tell at a glance that they must have known each other for a long time.
Sure enough, after the guard exchanged greetings with Zhang Datong, he asked Zhang Datong the purpose of coming, and then turned back to the main hall to report.
After a while, the guard came out and said to Zhang Datong: "Senior Brother Zhang, my master has asked you two to go in for a detailed discussion. You two, come in with me quickly."
Zhang Datong nodded and followed the man into the hall with Xiao Ding.
Sitting on the animal skin chair in the middle of the hall was a Taoist priest with white hair and beard. After Zhang Datong saw the Taoist, he quickly walked a few steps forward, saluted and said, "Pingyang Peak disciple Zhang Datong pays homage to Master Yuheng!"
Taoist Yuheng waved his sleeves and said, "Senior nephew Zhang, there is no need to be polite! I heard that you have brought another disciple to Kaiyang Peak?"
Zhang Datong stood sideways and said politely: "Exactly, on the order of my master, I led Junior Brother Tian Xiaoding to pay homage to Senior Uncle Yu Heng. This Junior Brother Tian Xiaoding is Senior Brother Xia's from Chuanyun Town. Newly recruited disciple."
When Xiao Ding saw that Zhang Datong had begun to introduce himself, he quickly stepped forward and saluted Master Yu Heng and said, "Disciple Tian Xiaoding pays homage to senior!"
Master Yu Heng looked Xiao Ding up and down and said, "First take the jade token that Mr. Xia gave you and show it to me."
Xiao Ding took out the jade token and presented it to him.
Master Yu Heng took the jade token in his hand, looked at it for a few times, handed it back, and said: "Since you don't have Tiangen, I can't accept you into my sect. You can only stay with me for the time being." Yang Feng will become an ordinary outer disciple."
Xiao Ding was not surprised by this result. He had already guessed that the result would be like this. In the past two days, he has been disliked by many people because he has no Tiangen talent.
He had already made the worst plan in his mind. At worst, he would become an outer disciple and work as a coolie at the bottom of the sect. Doing hard work just takes some effort. Although I don't have any talent for cultivating immortals, fortunately I have snatched a Qiankun Pot magic weapon. Maybe I can use this magic weapon plug-in to perform miracles. It's hard to say.
