Every twenty years, the Fuyun Sect will send a group of foundation-building monks to search for some outstanding talents in the Seven Kingdoms, hold a ceremony to recruit disciples, select the best, and inject fresh blood into the sect.
Due to the current situation in the world of cultivation, Fuyun Sect has also made adjustments. Every four months, casual cultivators who have completed the recruitment order can wait at Fuyun Sect under the leadership of a guarantor. It will only take a few days after passing the test. , you can truly join the cultivation sect.
This inn in the inner city of Ningyang was almost booked by the old man surnamed Li. All the casual cultivators he guaranteed lived in it. Everyone gave him some gifts more or less. After this trip, there was no need to say anything. There was also a spiritual stone worth three to four thousand yuan entered into the account.
This is not counting the good seedlings he brought, the benefits the sect can return to him.
Following the instructions of the old man surnamed Li, Chen Mo found the waiter and asked for an empty house to live in.
After a night of silence, the next morning, under the leadership of the foundation-building monk, Chen Mo and more than 40 casual cultivators left the city, took his top-grade flying magic weapon, turned into a stream of light, and rushed to the next building to wait for worship. The casual cultivators of the sect.
...
At the top of the Xuanwu Mountains, there are exquisite buildings that can be seen as far as the eye can see. Directly in front of the mountain, there are several large-scale attics. In the haze, the clouds and mist are floating, adding a bit of mystery.
Beside the majestic hall, seven spreading stone bridges lead deeper, connecting several towering peaks. Covered by floating clouds, a fairyland like a paradise is hidden among the northernmost mountains of Wei State. middle.
"We're here. Don't run around here, just wait for me to settle down." The old man surnamed Li drove the flying boat through a thick and misty cloud, and landed halfway up a peak at the front of the Xuanwu Mountains. Removed.
After collecting the magic weapon, he repeated what he said before and headed to the simple stone house a hundred feet away, as if to find the person in charge of Fuyun Sect.
Chen Mo got off the boat, stretched his muscles and bones, and felt the spiritual energy here that was many times richer than the outside world. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and the boredom of sitting on the magic weapon for nearly half a month also dissipated.
Looking down, he saw the winding paths with beautiful mountains and clear waters. From time to time, one or two wild beasts could be heard in the forest. It was peaceful and peaceful, just like the scenery in a painting. Chen Mo secretly sighed in his heart: "This is a treasure land for cultivation." ah....."
As a disciple who once practiced in a sect, you can imagine the excitement in my heart when I return to a similar training place.
Even Chen Mo was like this, not to mention the other casual cultivators. Like old men walking out of a desolate mountain isolated from the world, some were meditating, some were amazed, and some were so ambitious that they didn't expect to survive this life. If they can one day join the sect, with such precious training grounds and abundant resources, they must show their brilliance!
There are more than forty casual cultivators, 90% of whom are cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining, and most of them are around forty years old. If someone with such qualifications enters the sect, he will be an outer disciple at most, unless there are more Opportunity, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the sky if you want to go further.
This was also the reason why Chen Mo was speechless all the way. For him, making friends with some useless monks was not as direct as the benefits of cultivating for an hour or two on his own.
Just as everyone was marveling, the old man surnamed Li and a young monk in white robes came from afar. When they stood in front of everyone, the old man surnamed Li said: "This is the steward of Fuyun Sect, Elder Liu. Now, my duties have been completed, and now you will be under his management."
"Meet Elder Liu!!"
More than 40 casual cultivators, including Chen Mo, spoke in unison to this young elder in the foundation building stage.
The appearance age of a cultivator is directly proportional to the level of cultivation. For example, a monk at the fifteenth level of Qi Refining has a lifespan of about 140 years. If he reaches this level when he is a hundred years old, his appearance will be like that of an old man. Face full of wrinkles.
But once he breaks through to the early stage of foundation building, his lifespan will be approximately two hundred years. If he builds the foundation at the age of one hundred, his appearance will return to that of middle age.
In the same way, if you have the early stage of foundation building at the age of sixty or seventy, it is not surprising that you will show the appearance of a young man.
In addition, there are also a series of auxiliary methods that can temporarily change the appearance, such as the beauty pill and the changing appearance technique.
"Hello," Elder Liu's attitude was very kind, and he was not as grumpy as other Foundation Establishment monks. He smiled and said, "We are destined to meet each other. Welcome to Fuyun Sect."
The Foundation Establishment cultivator could lower his body and speak to them calmly, which made many casual cultivators secretly amazed and quickly responded: "Elder Liu is so polite!"
"This is the etiquette..." Elder Liu waved his hand and said: "You all follow me here. Three days later, the Fuyun Sect will hold a ceremony for the ascension of casual cultivators to immortality. Before that, there are some things that need to be informed to you. "
The old man surnamed Li intervened at the right time: "Fellow Daoist Liu, you have also seen these little guys, so I will take the first step."
"Brother Li, come on. I'll treat you to tea another day!" The two of them smiled and greeted each other politely. Before leaving, they said a few words as if through a message. Only then did the old man surnamed Li leave with satisfaction.
Chen Mo and others followed Elder Liu's footsteps and arrived at the top of this peak. There was a large simple stone house here, which could provide shelter from wind and rain. Elder Liu gave each person a thick blue and white booklet and explained a few words. Then he left, leaving everyone to choose their own place to live.
The one with a wooden sign at the door was someone who lived there. Chen Mo didn't care how others looked for it. He found an empty one in the stone house in the southeast. He grabbed the unused wooden sign outside the house with his spiritual power and engraved the word "Chen" on it. , waved his hand again, and the bottom of the wooden sign was inserted diagonally into the ground, and then he turned around and entered the stone chamber.
There is a stone bed in the house, a luminous lamp made of seven luminous pearl fragments, a table and a wooden bench, and nothing else. Chen Mo glanced around and found nothing out of the ordinary before sitting on the stool and taking out the booklet Elder Liu had previously distributed - "Seventy Rules of the Fuyun Sect" from his arms.
Not surprisingly, it was certain that they would become disciples of the Fuyun Sect. In this case, they naturally had to memorize the rules within the sect to avoid violating them.
Chen Mo used the lamp and read it with concentration for two hours. Then he rubbed his sore eyes, closed the book, turned around and lay on the stone bed, as if he had realized something.
The book not only contains the rules of the Fuyun Sect, but also some introductions about the sect, allowing Chen Mo and other cultivators to have a general understanding of the Fuyun Sect.
The Fuyun Sect located in the Xuanwu Mountains has nearly 20,000 cultivators, of which 70% are disciples at the tenth level of Qi Refining, which is the main cornerstone of the sect's development.
Disciples who have cultivated from the eleventh level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining account for another 20%. They are the most potential part of the Fuyun Sect. With a little training, they can surpass the level and become the foundation-building elders, the core backbone of the Fuyun Sect.
There are hundreds of monks in the Fuyun Sect in the foundation building stage, and most of them are in the early stage of foundation building. The cultivators in the late stage of foundation building can be counted on one hand.
With their cultivation level even further, there are very few cultivators who fake elixirs or form elixirs. They will only show up to participate when major events happen in the sect and need to make decisions. On weekdays, no one knows what they are doing. .
The Fuyun Sect also has an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, named Patriarch Sanli. He is more than 600 years old and his magical power is profound and unfathomable. It is because of his existence that the Fuyun Sect can occupy a position in the Wei State. Forming the trend of dividing the world into three parts.
There is no risk of the ancestor dying unexpectedly, and he can live for at least another two hundred years. As of now, the sect has three monks in the late stage of pill formation who are preparing for the formation of babies. It is not a problem to maintain the prosperity of Fuyun Sect for another thousand years.
"The book says there are three people in the late stage of forming pills. Maybe it's just to deceive others. Maybe there are none, or there may be far more than this number..." Chen Mo lay on the stone bed and thought to himself.
He was more interested in the disciples in the Qi refining stage. The Dan Yuan Ying was too far away from him. Chen Mo didn't come here just to wander around. The last thing he wanted to do was to cultivate to the ninth level of Yin spirit power. To solve the problem of stones, if it is better, it is best to build a foundation.
There are two major passes before the huge number of disciples in the Qi Refining Stage. One is the Fate Defying Pill prepared for those who have not cleansed their marrow in the Yi Ching, and the other is the Foundation Establishment Pill used by the Qi Refining Dzogchen to break through the realm.
The two complement each other and have become a must-win for cultivators in the Qi refining period.
There are three ways to obtain the Fate-Resisting Pill: Contribution exchange within the sect, high rankings in the sect's small bili, and daily event rewards. Other than that, there is no other way.
The world of cultivation is cruel. With a base of tens of thousands, resources cannot be equally distributed to everyone. Natural selection means survival of the fittest. Those monks who are eliminated by the environment can only blame themselves and cannot rely on others.
Chen Mo was lying on the bed, continuing to think about what he had seen before, and murmured to himself: "I already have the Life-defying Pill, and I have also washed the marrow with the Yi Jing. I can take it directly after the ninth level of Qi Refining. The only thing I need to pay attention to is It’s the Foundation Building Pill..."
The casual cultivators only knew that the Fate-Defying Pill was difficult to obtain, but they did not know that the Foundation-Building Pill was even more rare and unusual. The Fuyun Sect did not directly grant or redeem the Foundation-Building Pill, but only provided two main spiritual materials for refining the Foundation-Building Pill— —Supply of redbud fruit and chalcedony mushroom.
Moreover, the method of obtaining both is even more difficult than the Fate-Defying Pill, not to mention having to find other auxiliary spiritual materials and herbs on your own, and find an alchemist in the sect to refine them, which also costs a large amount of spiritual stones. .
He didn't have a good rest on the boat. Chen Mo thought for a while and then fell asleep after placing a few simple restrictions in the house.
This sleep was very sweet. When he opened his eyes again, a day and a night had passed. He opened the door of the stone house and found that the top of the mountain outside was very lively. The casual cultivators were more or less gathering together to chat, and in the dim light There were only a few monks staying in the room.
Chen Mo listened to the content of their conversation for a while, just to help each other take care of each other and lay a good foundation when entering the sect.
This group of people are casual cultivators from outside. They don’t even need to take the test to enter the Fuyun Sect. They enter the Fuyun Sect directly. How can cultivators who enter the sect through normal methods feel comfortable? If it doesn’t explain the struggle on the surface, there must be little stumbling blocks secretly. Indispensable.
This is exactly what the casual cultivators banded together in twos and threes to prevent.
Chen Mo shook his head, closed the door again, and continued to read the sect rules manual handed out by Elder Liu.
What he is looking at now is the caves and treatment of the disciples of the sect. The casual cultivators outside the house have a high probability of being classified as outer disciples after passing the spiritual power test. They live together in the Xuanwu Mountains and have relatively shallow spiritual energy. In this place, even if you do nothing every month, you can still receive thirty pieces of spiritual stones as compensation from the sect’s Lingshi Pavilion.
However, thirty spiritual stones are nothing more than a drop in the bucket for a monk at the tenth level of Qi refining and will not have any effect. If you want to practice faster, you can only complete the contribution tasks issued by the sect.
The contribution points obtained can be exchanged for a period of time in a spiritually rich practice location, or can be exchanged for desired exercises, magical items, etc.
Of course, it is also feasible to exchange contributions for spiritual stones, and the price seems to be very high. However, only one-way redemption to the sect is allowed, and spiritual stones cannot be used to redeem contributions.
Those above the tenth level of Qi Refining and below the twelfth level of Qi Refining are collectively called inner sect disciples. They are compensated with ninety spirit stones every month. What is better than the outer sect is that they can also get certain contribution points for free.
The spiritual energy density of the cave they live in is second only to the core disciples, who are cultivators at the thirteenth level of Qi refining to the Great Perfection stage. They have 180 free spiritual stones every month, and the inner disciples have three times the contribution points.
In order to avoid the phenomenon of cultivators in the sect living together and waiting to die, Fuyun Sect will hold a promotion ceremony every three years. Cultivation is not used as a criterion. As long as the ranking in the competition can be ranked high, the outer sect disciples can be promoted to Inner sect, similarly, inner sect can also be promoted to core disciple.
The introduction stops here. What follows is a full list of sect rules. The most severe one has been marked with a red pen:
It is forbidden to maliciously kill or poison fellow disciples. Violators will be punished with their lives!
This rule also exists in the Guta Sect, but many people turn a deaf ear to it. The outer disciples will be killed if they should be killed, but the sect just turns a blind eye, and there are no monks from the Law Enforcement Hall to discipline them. I don’t know if this is the case here. It's the same thing, the rules are just for appearance.
Later, it becomes more detailed, such as compensation for damage to the buildings within the sect, and prohibition of contradicting the elders. Violators may be punished with spiritual stones, whipped, grounded, etc.
After memorizing the sect rules, Chen Mo immediately began to think about his Yin Vein spiritual power.
Concealing the facts is also a sect rule in the sect. This matter can be big or small, but Chen Mo doesn't want to be attacked as a leader by the monks who originally joined the sect because of this matter, so he must solve it as soon as possible.
The disciple recruitment ceremony in two days will be very grand. It is impossible that there will be no monks in the pill formation stage. It will be very easy to see through my true sixth level of Qi refining. In this case...
The first thing Chen Mo had to consider was to hide his black stone. If a monk discovered it, it would be a disaster for him.
