Zhou Yi became a disciple of the Danding Sect for only two purposes.
Aura, inheritance.
Others can hide if they can, be less conspicuous, and be a little transparent in the sect.
It is not surprising to receive disciples. More than half of the sect's foundation-building masters have not become disciples of the true king.
There are many reasons for this, most of them are dedicated to practicing hard and do not want to get involved with the complex forces of the sect. They are also confident that they will be able to condense elixirs in the future, and they also have shady secrets.
"Uncle Zhu, these are two identity tokens. Please enter a magic power each."
The three-color disciple tokens of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, gold, silver, and bronze correspond to the true, official, and registered. The formation restrictions inside are different, and the authority they have is also different.
Zhou Yi took the token, poured his magic power into it, and sensed the intricate restrictions inside.
The mana and the prohibition are integrated. If an outsider picks up or robs the token, it will be difficult to open the entrance to the Alchemy Sect due to the incompatibility of the mana and the use of the token to gain merit.
——Zhu Gang, a native of Tanzhou, Qing Dynasty.
Zhou Yi obtained the identity token and the other one was sealed by the sect. He and Xuanyun went to the second floor to receive the cave mansion.
"Senior brother, don't the sect's caves still need spiritual stones?"
The past of farming in Xiaodanshan is vivid in my mind. I was busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, but the harvest turned out to be in vain.
"Junior brother is joking. It is sold to outsiders. How can the disciples of the sect collect the spiritual stones?"
Xuan Yun's voice changed: "However, foreign affairs need to be completed every ten years. It is not a free coolie. Merits will be rewarded according to the difficulty."
"What is the typical mission?"
Zhou Yi had a vague guess in his mind that the Danding Sect operated by Yunzhou was like an iron barrel, and there were only a few scattered foundations outside the spiritual veins. Those worthy of being called foreign affairs were probably related to the devil.
"To the north of the sect is the Jizhou Heavenly Demon Sect, to the west is the Qiongzhou Ghost King Sect, and to the south is the Shiwanda Mountain. Counting the East China Sea Demon Clan, it can be said to be the place of four battles!"
Xuan Yun said solemnly: "The evil heretics are determined to destroy the sect, so we, the disciples, will certainly kill the demons!"
"As it should be."
Zhou Yi was very supportive, but actually he was planning how to get through the external affairs of eliminating demons stably.
It was impossible to fight in a fight, so he was really forced to hide away from the common practice and re-cultivate his martial arts. He changed his martial arts to the foundation-building stage and joined the Alchemy Cauldron Sect again. It's a pity that the Transformation Technique only changes the external aura, and the essence of the magic power of the Returning Origin Technique remains unchanged, otherwise it would save a lot of trouble.
The disciples on the second floor who were responsible for distributing the caves respectfully took out the Alchemy Sect map.
The overall shape is long and narrow from east to west, separated from north to south by the mountain range where Shenhuo Peak is located. The sunny side has a large area and many caves, while the negative side is opposite.
Zhou Yi did not act independently and chose an uninhabited cave in the south, more than four hundred miles away from Shenhuo Peak.
The cave is located at the top of Xiaoquan Mountain. It is named after a spiritual spring on the mountainside. Due to its relatively remote location, the four caves on it are all empty, which means that Zhou Yi has a small hill to himself.
"Next, go to the third floor to redeem the introductory skills."
Xuanyun reminded: "Junior brother Zhu, please remember to choose carefully. Only the first chapter of the exercises can be obtained for free. If you want to practice other inheritances in the future, you will need to spend merit points to redeem them."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly, already having an exchange target in mind.
In the past 100 years of practicing in Fangshi, I have often inquired about the foundation-building techniques. The result is that either the price is ridiculously high, or the quality of the techniques is too poor. The slightly better ones are family roots and will never be sold.
Therefore, it is free to redeem for entry, and you can only choose the method of practicing in the foundation building period.
The people on the third floor were responsible for receiving the three Foundation Establishment Masters. Xuan Yun introduced them one by one, and they were respectively responsible for merit exchange, sect errands, and external affairs of eliminating demons.
Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed slightly. These three people can be said to have low positions and weight.
Merit exchange seems to be the Qingshui Yamen that manages the catalog, but in fact it must be clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the secret techniques, and a few casual suggestions will be of great use.
There are good and bad errands in the sect. Those who are not close to them will not tell them which ones are pitfalls and which ones are good. The latter involves a battle of wits. If you know some easy foreign affairs in advance, you can save an adventure.
Xuanyun also understood this and greeted each of them with a smile. Zhou Yi also wrote down the names of the three of them.
Xuan Yi, Li Mu, Xiao Yuan.
The person in charge of redeeming meritorious deeds is Xuan Yi, who has gray hair and a lifeless face, looking like he will not live long enough.
Xuankong said: "Senior Brother Xuan Yi, this is the new Junior Brother Zhu, here to redeem the first skill."
Zhou Yi quickly followed suit and saluted: "I have met senior brother Xuan Yi."
Xuan Yi didn't respond and took out a jade slip: "See for yourself."
Zhou Yi's spiritual consciousness swept over and saw the various martial arts and secret techniques in the jade slips, with brief introductions following the names.
"Tianmu Jue, Qing Yan Xuan Gong, Mind Wrapping Technique, Fierce Thunder Curse..."
There are about a hundred kinds. Excluding non-gong methods, there are more than thirty choices left. Zhou Yi pondered for a moment and made a decision.
"Senior Brother Xuanyi, I choose the Five Spirits Manual."
Among the many exercises, it is the only one that has all the five elements. After it is completed, it comes with a five-element escape spell. It is said that nothing within the five elements can be escaped. At the same time, due to the complete five elements, the probability of condensing golden elixir is slightly increased.
Xuan Yi took out an exchange token and entered a few magic formulas.
"Just go to the Gongfa Hall with the order to get it."
After saying that, his eyes were slightly closed and he fell asleep.
Zhou Yi bowed his thanks and left the Foreign Affairs Hall with Xuanyun.
Xuan Yun sent a message: "These three people have very simple backgrounds and will be very respectful in the future. Senior Brother Xuan Yi seems to be hard to talk to, but in fact he is the most fair person."
"Thanks for the tip, senior brother."
Zhou Yi wondered: "Senior Brother Xuanyi looks a little..."
"If you fail to condense the pill, you can barely save your life. No matter how hard your magic power is to improve, you can only watch your life span dry up."
Xuanyun sighed and said: "The Heavenly Spiritual Roots are still like this. With qualifications like you and me, when we condense the pills in the future, we will most likely die under the Small Four Nine Heavenly Tribulation."
"The path to immortality is difficult, all you have to do is fight!"
Zhou Yi frowned slightly. Even in the early stages of foundation building, he should have considered the difficulty of forming pills earlier.
Condensing the core is ten times more difficult than building a foundation, and unlike building a foundation, you can try it over and over again. Basically, you fail to break through once, and you are lucky enough to save your life under the catastrophe, but also cut off the follow-up path.
"Junior Brother Zhu fought his way out of countless casual cultivators, and his perseverance in Taoism is far beyond the comparison of sect disciples!"
Xuanyun sighed in admiration and said: "Junior brother, after taking the skills, you can go to the cave to practice. Remember to come to the Foreign Affairs Hall within one month to receive the sect's errands. After that, all that is left is hard training."
Zhou Yi nodded and said: "Thank you for the recommendation, senior brother. I will definitely be rewarded in the future."
"For the sake of merit, I have been keen on a secret skill for a long time. I can redeem it a few years ago."
Xuan Yun cupped his hands and said: "Fangshi is busy with affairs, so let's say goodbye for now. We will talk about Xuan Lun Dao when we have the opportunity in the future."
After that, he turned into light and left.
Zhou Yi shook his head slightly, not even leaving the jade charm for communication, obviously he didn't trust the origin.
In the eyes of the direct monks of the sect, the outside world's casual cultivators are like mad dogs, fighting to the death for a few spiritual stones, killing people and seizing treasures for mere pills, which is simply unreasonable.
Little did they know that those who supported their Qing cultivation were countless low-level casual cultivators.
"That's all, it's not bad if people hate dogs. It saves a lot of trouble."
Zhou Yi laughed at himself, took the Five Spirits Sutra from the Gongfa Hall, turned into a escaping light and flew towards Xiaoquan Mountain.
------Digression-----
