After Ning Tao and others registered in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, they changed their status jade tags from Qi-training disciples to those of Foundation Establishment monks. Their status also changed from outer disciples to inner disciples, and then came to the Preaching Pavilion. Exchange skills.
When we arrived at the Preaching Pavilion, we found that the original sleepy old man had disappeared and was replaced by a middle-aged monk.
The three of them sensed the middle-aged monk's unpredictable cultivation level, said respectfully, and after seeing their uncle, they went to the second floor to choose their skills.
When the three of them arrived on the second floor, they found that in addition to a few people, there were also several people choosing exercises here.
However, everyone just said hello briefly when they met, and then continued to examine the jade slips in front of them carefully.
After all, there is a time limit for choosing exercises. It is not good to waste time by chatting too much.
Ning Tao first came to the area where the weapon refining technique was located and carefully read the introduction.
It has been about half an hour since I finished reading the brief introductions of all the jade slips, and finally I decided on three jade slips named "Encyclopedia of Prohibited Magical Weapons", "Complete Collection of Types of Magical Weapons" and "Essence of Refining Techniques".
Compared with other more targeted refining methods, these three jade slips are more upright and peaceful, and their popularity is relatively wide.
I came to the practice place, checked it out, and found the practice that cooperates with the practice of snake saliva fruit. It is a practice called "Treasure Body of Poison Avoidance", which is an acquired treasure body that can be obtained through practice.
After being practiced, the resistance to various toxins can be greatly increased, and it can also increase with the growth of realm cultivation.
But there are gains and losses. Practicing this method requires consuming a large amount of snake saliva fruits during the foundation building period. Generally, few monks can gather them together, so few people succeed in practicing it.
Then he chose a secret method called "Regret the Divine Technique", which is a secret method that specifically attacks the spiritual consciousness of monks. After using it against the enemy, it is like a mortal being slapped with a brick, feeling dizzy and losing consciousness for a moment.
The greater the gap between spiritual thoughts, the stronger the power. If the gap between realms is too large, the opponent may even lose consciousness and become a demented fool.
After selecting these two techniques, Ning Tao selected some jade slips that he was interested in in the miscellaneous books and gathered them together.
After choosing the things, Ning Tao couldn't find Yang Song and Pan Yue. He guessed that he had already chosen what he needed and went downstairs, so he also went downstairs.
When he came downstairs, he didn't see the two of them, so he came to the table of the golden elixir monk alone.
After handing the chosen technique to the golden elixir monk, he took out the identity jade token, used up the two free redemption opportunities, and then deducted more than 3,000 contribution points, which were counted as exchanges for the other three techniques and Purchase of other miscellaneous books.
After thanking the unknown Jindan monk, he came outside the Preaching Pavilion and found that Yang Song and Pan Yue had not left yet. Instead, they were standing at the side of the door chatting. They greeted them and they left together.
........
A few days later, under the arrangements of Third Senior Brother An Ran, the apprenticeship ceremony officially began.
After going through a series of complicated procedures, Ning Tao presented the apprenticeship ceremony he had prepared.
In addition to some rare second-level elixirs, there are also about a hundred pounds of jade bee royal jelly and a pile of magic vulture eggs.
After drinking the apprenticeship tea, Dan Chenzi first reported his origins to his master, and then gave some advice to Ning Tao.
After receiving Ning Tao's apprenticeship ceremony, he took out a blue-red jade slip and gave it to Ning Tao, telling Ning Tao that it contained a magical power of his and was reserved for life-saving purposes...
After finishing his apprenticeship, Ning Tao began to consider the location of the cave. With the advice of several senior brothers and sisters, and with the consent of his master Dan Chenzi, Ning Tao moved his cave to a beautiful hill more than ten miles away in the valley.
My master Dan Chenzi's cave is surrounded by a hundred miles of territory that belongs to my master. If I want to open a cave here, I still have to obtain my master's permission first.
Foundation-building disciples like Ning Tao, who worship Jindan monks as their masters, usually open their own caves near their master's caves.
One is that you can visit the master at any time, and your safety is guaranteed, and the other is that you can get the light of the third-level spiritual veins.
Of course, there are many monks who have not become disciples and will open their own caves in the Yaowang Mountains where the sect is located.
After all, the sect's territory covers an area of thousands of miles, and the Yaowang Mountain Range, which covers an area of thousands of miles, is forbidden to the Yaowang Sect. If a monk wants to open a cave here without reporting it, it is tantamount to hanging himself.
Although the safety of opening a cave in the mountains is relatively guaranteed, the level of the spiritual veins is somewhat unsatisfactory.
Ning Tao chose to find a place next to a small pond on the south side of the hill to flatten part of the mountain, and then dug inward like a mouse digging a hole.
First, two huge stone chambers at the front and back were opened, and then more than ten stone chambers were excavated around the huge stone chamber at the back, which were used for rest, practice, breeding of spiritual beasts, spiritual medicine garden, weapon refining, alchemy, classics rooms, etc.
Some types of rooms have more than one room. For example, the elixir garden is divided into two stone rooms, one large and one small. The large one covers an area of an acre, and the small one covers an area of half an acre.
Four or five spirit beast rooms have been opened for future use of captive spirit beasts.
As for the stones excavated from the cave, they were not wasted. A path was paved outside that leads directly to the mountain. The remaining stones were formed into two square circles of several acres not far from the cave and were used for planting common elixirs and spiritual rice. place.
Two days later, Ning Tao looked at the neatly packed cave with a satisfied smile on his face.
But there is still one most important thing missing, which is to arrange the formation.
According to the requirements of the array diagram, Ning Tao unskilledly placed the array flags into the designated positions, then arranged the array discs in the secret training room at the back, imprinting his own consciousness on the array discs to activate the array.
As the formation activated, streaks of black and white light flashed through, and soon the entire cave was under the protection of the formation.
Ning Tao left enough middle-grade spiritual stones in the array for daily operation, then left the cave, took out the Qinghong Sword, and turned into a stream of light towards the direction of the sect.
Arriving at the sect's miscellaneous affairs hall, he handed the list and identity jade token he had prepared to a deacon disciple.
After the deacon disciple saw the thing, he bowed to his uncle and said, "Uncle Ning, wait a moment. I will prepare it for you right now."
After a while, the disciple walked out of the back hall, handed the storage bag in his hand to Ning Tao and said, "Uncle Ning, the things you need have been prepared. Please check."
Ning Tao briefly checked the contents inside, nodded, and asked, "I wonder how the cave should report it?"
After hearing Ning Tao's question, the disciple replied: "I don't know if Master Ning is planning to open a cave outside, or if he wants to open a cave near Elder Jindan's cave. If opening a cave outside, Uncle Yu will need personal approval, and in Jindan... Opening a cave near Elder Dan’s cave only requires registration.”
Ning Tao heard this and said: "Then let's file it. I don't know how to file it?"
After hearing this, the disciple led Ning Tao to a room at the back, activated a jade hanging on the wall, and asked: "Senior, please point out the location."
Ning Tao looked at the huge map of mountains and rivers in front of him, searched for a moment, pointed out one of the locations and told this Qi-training disciple that the newly opened cave should be here.
When this disciple heard Ning Tao's reply, he already knew that Ning Tao was the disciple of an elder in the golden elixir stage.
Seeing that he placed the cave he opened near the spiritual veins of Jindan elder Dan Chenzi, there was no nonsense.
He took out a jade pen, put a little on it, and noted the foundation-building monk Ning Tao, then said with a smile: "Uncle Ning, that's all. I don't know what else I can do for you."
Ning Tao nodded and said, "No more."
Then he was led away by this disciple.
Ning Tao left the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and came to the Hall of Merit. When he saw that the deacon disciple in charge had been replaced, he didn't say much to inquire.
Entering it, before he could say anything, the deacon disciple inside saw that it was a foundation-building monk, so he took the initiative to come forward and asked Ning Tao.
"Uncle Master, do you need to exchange something or is there anything else you need?"
Ning Tao smiled when he heard this and said: "I have some things in my hand that need to be dealt with. There are a lot of them. I wonder if your palace master is here."
The disciple was startled when he heard this, and asked: "I don't know the name of my uncle? I can report it to the master of the palace, my uncle."
Ning Tao heard this and said, "Ning Tao."
The deacon disciple in the Qi training stage was startled when he heard this, and thought that this was the recently famous monk in the Foundation building stage.
Then he said with a smile: "Uncle, please go to the clean room and wait for a while. I will go and report to the master of the palace, uncle."
As he spoke, he led Ning Tao to a clean room nearby, poured Ning Tao a cup of tea, and then left.
During the tea time, a foundation-building monk stepped in. Ning Tao, who was drinking tea, looked up and looked strange. He stood up and said, "Uncle Qi?"
The foundation-building monk smiled when he heard this and said, "Ning Tao, I heard that you had built a foundation a few days ago. When I heard the disciple's report, I hurried back. Haha, how does it feel to build a foundation?"
.......
The two chatted for a long time. Master Qi's status in the outer sect has greatly increased since he brought out the most outstanding Tao Tongyuan disciple in this generation, and then left the Tao Tongyuan.
It just so happened that at this time, the master of the Hall of Merit retired due to his old age and went down the mountain to start a cultivation family, so Master Qi took over his position.
At this time, Master Qi's appearance was a bit brighter than before, which was gloomy.
The two of them had finished chatting. Ning Tao took out two jade bottles and handed them to Master Qi who was standing aside. He said, "Dean, this is a small thought. I have to thank you for taking care of me at the Taoist Academy."
Uncle Qi didn't hesitate when he heard the words. He directly took the jade bottle. After opening it, he looked at it and said with a smile: "Haha, Ning Tao, it seems that you have made a fortune. Good guy, this sapphire bee royal jelly is valuable." It’s a good thing without a market, I heard from the deacon disciples in the hall, are you here to exchange for merit points?”
