The first New Year after coming to Tiankun Star was still a bit novel for Tian Xiaoding and Su Lanlan.
On the occasion of the New Year, the Tianyang Sect gave each disciple a new sect uniform and gave each of them 200 points as a year-end reward.
The entire mountain gate was also decorated in a prosperous manner, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
Although sects also post Spring Festival couplets during the New Year, the content style of the Spring Festival couplets is very different from the content style of the Spring Festival couplets on Earth.
Among the Spring Festival couplets in the Tianyang Sect, there are no Spring Festival couplets of the type "The sky increases years and people live longer, and spring fills the universe with blessings."
Most of the contents of the Spring Festival couplets here are full of Taoist fairy spirit.
for example:
At the beginning of the First Yuan Dynasty, the atmosphere is full of energy, and the Purple Extreme Teng Pfizer responds to the world in all directions;
All things sprouted, magical powers were restored, and Xuantian blessed the four great divine continents!
Another example:
The vitality of the heavenly system, the path of the path is pure and empty, and all the wonderful things have no door, this is called the master of mystery;
The earth governs Yuan Xing, virtue reigns supreme, and all demons are wiped out. This is the truth of martial arts!
Another example:
White-haired maid, eight hundred years of practice is not an illusion;
The green shirt is so dim that it takes five thousand years of hard training to get a glimpse of Tai Chi!
Such fairy-like couplets made Xiao Ding feel as if he had truly attained enlightenment and become an immortal.
On New Year's Day, the canteens on the eight peaks of Tianyang Sect have prepared free meat dumplings for everyone. You don't need to pay points, you can eat them as you like. The meat filling of this dumpling is not ordinary meat, but the meat of a monster.
Of course, some of the meat of these monster beasts were hunted by Tianyang Sect disciples in Soul Burial Mountain, while more were purchased from Tianyang City by outer sect disciples.
The meat of low-level monsters cannot increase one's skill, but it can strengthen one's body and increase the strength of one's physical body.
Su Lanlan also gave Xiao Ding the new clothes she had made for him, with a happy smile on her face.
After the Spring Festival, she will be seventeen years old. She is already a big girl, no longer the child Xiao Ding talks about.
She was happy from the bottom of her heart to be able to do something for Xiao Ding. If Xiao Ding likes the clothes she makes, she will be even happier.
The vague affection an adolescent girl has for the man she likes is so simple.
Xiao Ding also gave Su Lanlan a New Year's gift, which was a defensive amulet refined by monks in the foundation-building period.
He hoped that if Su Lanlan encountered any danger in the future, it would be best to have a life-saving means in hand.
This amulet is the only defensive talisman refined by a monk in the foundation-building stage among all the talismans he purchased in Tianyang City. The other talismans refined by monks in the foundation-building stage are all offensive.
Xiao Ding gave Su Lanlan a gift, and Su Lanlan naturally accepted it happily. No matter what Xiao Ding gave her, she felt happy.
Although Xiao Ding recognized her as his adopted sister, in her heart, she would be happy as long as she could be by Xiao Ding's side. She didn't care at all whether she was Xiao Ding's adopted sister.
Senior Sister Cheng Yaomai also came to Kaiyang Peak to wish Xiao Ding and others a happy New Year.
After saying some New Year greetings to each other, Cheng Yaowei happily told Xiao Ding that she finally bought a green wood purple fruit in the auction house when she went to Tianyang City a few years ago. She finally had the materials for her Foundation Building Pill together!
Cheng Yaomaa also said that when she has time after the Chinese New Year, she will continue to refine the Foundation Building Pill.
Xiao Ding couldn't help but worry and said: "Senior Sister, why don't you wait until my cultivation level rises to another level, and then let me help you refine it!" He was actually worried that the Senior Sister, who had the water attribute Tiangen, would refining the elixir again and explode the furnace. .
The sky-high hairstyle she had after the last furnace explosion lasted for several months before it became smoother. A few days after this happened, she was going to make alchemy again, but with her vague control over the fire, 99% of the time she would have to explode the furnace.
The senior sister was full of disdain and said: "Waiting for you? You don't even have Heavenly Roots. How can you break through again? What's more, refining the Foundation Establishment Pill requires at least the seventh level of Qi training to control it. You now I’ve only reached the fourth level of Qi training, and I’m still far from it!”
Xiao Ding had no words to refute what the senior sister said. What the senior sister said is true. I don’t have Heavenly Roots. If I want to break through to the seventh level of Qi training, I’m afraid it won’t be possible in a year or two. The senior sister has already practiced Qi to the Great Perfection, so it is natural that she is anxious to build the foundation.
Refining the Foundation Establishment Pill requires reaching the advanced stage of Qi training in order to be able to control it, otherwise the refining will not be successful.
In the world of cultivation, each level of cultivation is divided into four stages: initial stage, middle stage, late stage, and great perfection. Take the Qi training period as an example. The first three levels of Qi training are the early stage of Qi training; the fourth, fifth and sixth levels are the middle stage of Qi training; the seventh, eighth and ninth levels are the late stage of Qi training; and the tenth level are the Great Perfection of Qi training. . After reaching the tenth floor, you can advance to foundation building.
Xiao Ding is now at the fourth level of Qi training. He has just entered the middle stage of Qi training and is still far away from the late stage of Qi training. Therefore, the senior sister feels that she still cannot afford to wait for Xiao Ding.
In this case, Xiao Ding couldn't say much. He just felt a little sorry for the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill. After all, these materials were obtained through life and death. Wouldn't it be a pity if the senior sister blew them up?
However, these materials were basically brought by the senior sister to the Soul Burial Mountain. If she went there by herself, she might not be able to get them either. The senior sister got something, and there was nothing I could do to dissuade her from making elixirs.
After Senior Sister and Su Lanlan left, Xiao Ding gave some New Year gifts to Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tong. What was given to the three of them was ten low-grade spiritual energy pills and ten low-grade Huiyuan pills for each of them.
Xiao Ding took the time to refine these elixirs after returning from Soul Burial Mountain last time.
Li Tianliang and the others were extremely happy, but they didn't have anything to give to Xiao Ding. The three of them each took out a talisman they bought in Tianyang City years ago and prepared to give it to Xiao Ding as a gift.
Xiao Ding smiled and said, "I accept your wishes! I purchased more than five hundred talismans. You should keep your talismans for your own use!"
When the three of them heard this, they thought it was the same, and they all took back the magic talisman and said, "Then let's invite you to the cafeteria tonight to drink and celebrate the New Year!"
When Xiao Ding heard this, he said, "This is a good idea. Let's go drinking together tonight!"
On the night of New Year's Eve, Xiao Ding and three other people in the same dormitory went to the second floor of Kaiyangfeng's cafeteria, ordered their favorite food and drinks, and ate and drank a lot.
Then we stood on the top of the mountain and watched the fireworks.
However, the fireworks in this world of cultivating immortals are different from the fireworks on earth.
The fireworks released by Tianyang Sect are all released with fireworks talismans.
The disciples of the Tianyang Sect had prepared a large number of fireworks talismans in advance. On the night of New Year's Eve, everyone launched the fireworks talismans into the sky, and the sky above the eight peaks of Tianyang Mountain immediately lit up.
As the fireworks talismans exploded, clusters of fireworks flashed over Tianyang Mountain, covering all eight peaks. It was truly spectacular.
The next day, the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tianyang Sect also held an activity to worship the ancestor.
All Tianyang Sect disciples, whether inner or outer, gathered in the courtyard outside the Shouyang Peak Hall.
Xiao Ding stood in the crowd of outer disciples at Kaiyang Peak and saw Tianshu Zhenren, the head of the Tianyang Sect, and the eight elders of the Tianyang Sect for the first time.
Among them are the first Master Xiangyue of Hengyang Peak; the first Master Tianyao of Yuyang Peak; the first Master Xuanguang of Xuanyang Peak, the old ghost Xia who recruited Xiao Ding into the sect; the first Master Tianquan of Luoyang Peak; Master Zheng, the leader of Pingyang Peak, whose Taoist name is Wudou Zhenren; Tiankui Zhenren, the leader of Kuiyang Peak; Yuheng Zhenren, the leader of Kaiyang Peak; and Lianzhaicai, the city lord of Tianyang City.
The inner disciples under each elder also stood at the front of each team. Although Xiao Ding stood with the outer disciples at the back, he was tall and could still see the situation at the front.
In the main hall, there is a statue of the founder of the sect. Xiao Ding didn't know the name of the founder of the Tianyang Sect. Anyway, from the door, you could see a tall statue of a Taoist priest standing in the main hall.
There are tables placed in front and on both sides of the statue. There are many tablets placed on the tables on both sides of the statue. They must be dedicated to the tablets of the Tianyang Sect leaders in the past. On the table in front of the statue are various offerings, incense burners, incense sticks, etc. There is a futon on the floor in front of the table.
Master Tianshu, the leader of Tianyang Sect, was the first to light three pillars of incense. The incense sticks were more than three feet long and as thick as a little finger.
He clasped his palms together, bowed deeply to the inside of the hall while outside the door, and said loudly: "Disciple Tianshu, bow to all the ancestors! I was accepted by my mentor as a disciple, learned the martial arts of the ancestor, and later had the honor to become The head of the Tianyang Sect, so far, has not been able to open up the lintel of the sect, and the disciples are very ashamed. This New Year, the disciples, together with the 932 disciples of the Tianyang Sect, have come to pay homage to all the ancestors. For the Patriarch, please protect our Tianyang Sect lineage, carry it forward, and have a long history!"
Other elders and disciples also shouted at the same time: "May I be listed as the Patriarch to protect our Tianyang Sect and carry it forward to a long and prosperous history!"
Then, Master Tianshu stepped into the hall and inserted the incense in his hand into the huge incense burner on the table. Then he knelt down on the futon in front of the case and kowtowed.
After Master Tianshu finished burning incense, the eight elders of the sect also burned incense and kowtowed in the manner of Master Tianshu.
After the elders finished the ceremony, the following disciples from the inner and outer sects took turns coming forward to burn incense and bow their heads to worship the ancestor.
There were more than 900 people in the entire sect. After each one came down in turn, it was already afternoon.
Xiao Ding also followed everyone into the main hall to worship. But while he was worshiping, his eyes kept looking around in the hall. At the same time, he was still thinking in his mind, would the Tianyang Sect's treasure, the Tianyang Pearl, be hidden in this hall?
When I think of the Tianyang Pearl, I naturally think of the upcoming martial arts competition in the next year. I wonder if I will finally have a chance to reach the top four? If you can't make it to the top four, then you won't have any chance of getting in touch with the Tianyang Pearl!
