The most important thing in the apprenticeship ceremony is to pay homage to the tablets of the ancestors of all generations. After Li Shiming bowed to the tablets and then bowed to Elder Su, the core apprenticeship ceremony was over.
Next came the congratulations from the masters and uncles, and each storage bag was put away by Elder Su.
Li Shiming didn't even know what the congratulatory gifts were, but he thought that the gifts from the Jindan masters and uncles would not be light.
The last program was to judge the cultivation of each senior brother and sister. A famous senior brother and sister showed off their cultivation achievements in the hall, and were subsequently praised or demoted.
Xu Chuan told Li Shiming that this was a reserved program, and the reason why he brought the Jindan disciples here was for this reason.
Jindan disciples who perform well will receive gifts from Jindan elders, which is very important to Jindan disciples.
Li Shiming also saw the strength of Jindan disciples. Every monk who could be accepted as a disciple by Jindan was a person with amazing talents.
An apprenticeship ceremony made him understand his position clearly.
If he hadn't had the help of IBMz15, he would be far behind these top talents in many aspects.
After seeing off all the guests, Elder Su and his disciples were the only ones left in the hall.
"Shiming, I have reserved a cave for you. This is your identity jade disk and the cave control command talisman. I will take you there now!" Elder Su handed over the identity jade disk that he had prepared long ago and smiled at Li Shiming. said.
"Thank you, Master!" Li Shiming took the jade plate of identity. He is still staying in the master's hospitality cave, and of course he cannot stay for a long time.
Elder Su took Li Shiming and flew out of Tianmu Peak, followed by senior sister Ye Jingxian and the other three senior brothers.
The Shushan Sect occupies the Shushan Mountains, which has nearly a thousand peaks, large and small.
Everyone was hovering in front of a small mountain peak. Li Shiming looked at the mountain peak, which was planted with a large number of spiritual plants.
From the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are hundreds of acres of spiritual fields opened up, and there are more than ten spiritual fruit trees with immature spiritual fruits hanging on the branches.
There is a cliff at one point on the mountain, and a water line hangs upside down from top to bottom, forming a mini waterfall.
There is a deep pool under the waterfall, which is full of aura.
"This is the Sword-holding Peak, the sub-peak of Tianmu Peak. It used to be in charge of me, but now it belongs to you!" Elder Su said, pointing to the peak in front of him.
"Master, the cave you are talking about is a mountain peak?" Li Shiming looked at the beautiful mountain peak in front of him in disbelief.
"Isn't it just a mountain peak? The spiritual veins here are branched from Tianmu Peak. If you can achieve the golden elixir, you can separate a small section of the mountain range within the sect as a private property!" Elder Su waved his hand. , said with a look of disdain for his lack of experience in the world.
Xu Chuan saw Li Shiming's dazed look with his mouth wide open. He smiled and took out a jade talisman. After activating it, he recorded Li Shiming's appearance.
He remembered that he was manipulated by his senior sisters and brothers for a long time. Now that he has a junior brother, he naturally wants to pass on this virtue.
"The mountain guarding formation at Holding Sword Peak is a bit ordinary, but since we are within the sect and not far from Tianmu Peak, no one will dare to break the formation by force. You are a senior formation master, so you can also strengthen this place on your own. Formation." Elder Su introduced it as he took Li Shiming to the top of the mountain.
"There are 100 acres of low-grade spiritual fields in Holding Sword Peak, 20 acres of mid-grade spiritual fields, one acre of high-grade spiritual fields, and fifteen second-grade spiritual fruit trees. From now on, these will all belong to you. These industries are the capital of your cultivation. You can issue tasks. Ask Mr. Lingzhi to take care of it, or you can arrange for an entourage to take care of it!" Elder Su introduced with a smile.
Li Shiming took a breath of cold air. The 100 acres of low-grade spiritual fields were okay, and the 20 acres of medium-grade spiritual fields were all spiritual fields that produced the second-grade elixirs needed by monks in the early stages of foundation building. The high-grade spiritual fields were even more powerful. A spiritual field capable of growing second-grade top-level elixirs.
It can be said that these 100 acres of low-grade spiritual fields can provide him with an income of tens of thousands of spiritual stones every year. The elixirs produced by the 20 acres of medium-grade spiritual fields can support his current cultivation needs. The elixirs produced by the high-grade spiritual fields can It is the accumulation of his future cultivation.
"This is your cave!" Elder Su was very excited today. When Xu Chuan was taken in before, this work was done by Ye Jingxian.
Li Shiming had given him a face today, and he was in a particularly good mood when he saw the surprised and jealous looks on his old friends' faces.
The cave is located on the top of the mountain, inside a large rock.
Entering the cave, the inside suddenly opened up, and he felt the breath of the space formation.
This hall alone is five hundred square meters, which is the result of the space being expanded ten times.
"You will also have friends in the future. The space is too small. I asked Master Hu, the formation master, to expand this place for you!" Elder Su explained with a smile.
What was revealed from time to time in his words was his love for Li Shiming.
"Master, my cave does not have this space formation, and my cave is very small!" Xu Chuan reminded softly from the side.
"You should practice hard for me. Your junior brother has been practicing in seclusion for two months since he came here. He has never been lazy at all!" Elder Su said with a glare.
Xu Chuan shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything more.
"You can make the furnishings in the cave yourself. Here are the gifts from your uncles. You can check them later and put them in the cave's warehouse. You are no longer a casual cultivator and need to learn management. Let's start with managing a mountain. This is also an important learning content!" Elder Su did not forget to explain in the end.
"Yes, Master!" Li Shiming finally understood the reason why Jindan disciples could own a mountain peak.
Everyone who can become the disciple of Elder Jindan is the hope of Shushan Sect, and Shushan Sect not only wants strong combat power, but also future management talents.
Starting from a mountain peak to cultivate the management talents of these Jindan elder disciples, it is easier for talents to manage the sect to emerge from them.
After Elder Su finished his explanation, he left the Sword-holding Peak in a flash.
"Junior brother, this is my gift!" The senior sister took out a jade box and handed it over and said.
"Thank you, senior sister!" Li Shiming took the jade box.
He was not polite. He opened the jade box and saw a spiritual tea tree inside, with a perception level reaching the second level.
His face changed slightly, this gift was not cheap.
Spiritual tea is an extremely important treat for monks. Good spiritual tea can make communication between monks easier.
Therefore, the value of spiritual tea trees is usually more expensive than spiritual objects of the same level. A second-grade spiritual tea tree can almost save Li Shiming from having to worry about serving spiritual tea to guests during the foundation building period.
"Junior brother, this is a gift from the second senior brother!" The second senior brother Wan Zheng also took out a jade box.
The jade box contains a second-grade spiritual flower. Although the spiritual flower does not have the effect of elixir and cannot be used as spiritual food, it can add a faint fragrance to the cave and refresh the mind.
The third senior brother Lu Shi also gave a second-grade spiritual flower. When he took it out, he glared at the second senior brother Wan Zheng angrily.
Because they were pressed for time, they did not have time to discuss it, resulting in a situation where their gifts were similar.
"The gifts you two gave me can be placed at the door by my junior brothers!" The gifts given by the second senior brother and the third senior brother were looked down upon by the senior sister.
"I like flowers and plants very much. Thank you, Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother!" Li Shiming smiled quickly.
As if they were used to being told by the senior sister, the second and third senior brothers didn't look angry at all and put the gifts in Li Shiming's hands with a smile.
"Junior brother, this is for you!" Xu Chuan took out something from his storage bracelet and placed it on the ground.
"Junior Brother Xu, are you robbing the spiritual pool in the cave?" Ye Jingxian looked at the things on the ground in surprise.
There is a jade basin on the ground, with a diameter of five meters. If it were in a normal cave hall of fifty square meters, this would be large enough.
There are several spiritual fish in the jade basin. The bottom of the basin is composed of spiritual stones and spiritual water plants. Together with the spiritual patterns engraved on the surface of the jade basin, the jade basin as a whole is full of spirituality.
Not to mention other things, the value of this five-meter-large spiritual jade alone is difficult to estimate, not because of its high grade, but because it is too rare.
"I got this thing, so I put some spirit fish in it. The spirit fish are still larvae now. I feel uncomfortable looking at it, so I might as well give it to my junior brother!" Xu Chuan said with a nonchalant smile.
However, Li Shiming knew that a jade basin that could keep the spiritual water alive and raise spiritual fish couldn't be a simple thing.
Looking at the senior sister's expression, one can also tell that it must be extremely precious.
"Junior brother, you are not allowed to refuse this gift from me!" Xu Chuan looked at Li Shiming again, patted Li Shiming heavily on the shoulder and said.
Li Shiming felt the power in Xu Chuan's hands, which was Xu Chuan's heart.
"Then thank you, Senior Brother Xu. I happen to have spiritual things that need to be planted!" Li Shiming could only accept it with a smile.
He carefully took out a jade box, took out the entire lotus plant inside, and planted it in a jade pot.
Although the jade box has the effect of preserving spiritual plants, the longer it lasts, the greater the damage to the lotus.
"Junior brother, which Jindan elder's cave did you rob and get this second-grade golden lotus?" After Ye Jingxian carefully observed the lotus, she raised her head and asked Li Shiming in surprise.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"This is a golden lotus. Where can there be gold?" Li Shiming had naturally heard of golden lotus, but he had never regarded the second-grade lotus he got as a golden lotus.
What is the golden lotus? Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, they attach great importance to the golden lotus. The golden lotus is sitting under the Buddha, and the Taoism compares the lotus to itself, wearing a lotus crown on its head, and its Taoist robes are embroidered with golden lotus.
The golden lotus, a spiritual plant in the world of immortality, is a treasure that can purify spiritual energy.
Due to the slow advancement of the golden lotus, it only takes a thousand years to reach the first level. Don't look at the second-grade golden lotus in front of you. This is a treasure that has been cultivated for two thousand years.
"Look carefully at the edge of the lotus leaf. The number of golden dots there will increase with the grade. When it reaches the ninth grade, it will completely turn into gold!" The senior sister pointed out with great certainty.
Li Shiming scanned it with his spiritual thoughts, and he indeed found the golden dots on the lotus.
"Is this second-grade golden lotus very precious?" he asked worriedly.
To be honest, he had no idea that the lotus he took out was the legendary second-grade golden lotus, which made him a little worried about himself.
"Junior brother, you are not a casual cultivator, nor are you a disciple without a small sect. The Shushan Sect has never been afraid of any force in the Northern Shu Continent. Who dares to come to the sect to rob? Does anyone really have this idea? Tell senior sister that I will help You blow his head off, and no matter how precious the second-grade Golden Lotus is, it’s only a second-grade one!” Senior Sister said with a smile.
Li Shiming felt relieved. He was afraid of being plotted against him. If something good happened, it would be plotted against him.
"Junior brother, you also need to consider your followers. You are not a true successor yet and can only have three followers!" Xu Chuan reminded at this time.
"Where did you recruit the entourage from?" Li Shiming asked puzzledly.
He had just heard the master mention the entourage, but the master did not explain too much.
"The followers are not disciples of the sect, but they can live in the sect. The skills they practice need to be exchanged with contribution points, and the resources also need to be provided by you. The followers need to recognize you as their master and serve you. Everything on this mountain peak Both the spiritual fields and the spiritual fruit trees need someone to take care of them, so it is best to have a spiritual planter among your entourage!" Xu Chuan explained carefully.
Li Shiming finally understood what a follower was. Isn't this a servant?
Perhaps he thought that a servant was not nice to hear, so he took the term "entourer".
"I don't have any familiar monks here, so how can I recruit followers?" Li Shiming shook his head and said.
He was going to issue a task within the sect and ask the sect Ling Zhifu to manage the spiritual fields and spiritual fruit trees at Zhujian Peak on his behalf.
"Junior brother, if you are at ease, you can choose three followers from my family!" Second senior brother Wan Zheng suggested from the side.
"What am I worried about? It's just that the monks from the second senior brother's family won't have any objections, right?" Li Shiming asked with doubts.
In his opinion, no monk would want a good monk to become his servant, and he didn't want his second senior brother Wan Zheng to force him to do so.
"Second senior brother, you are really ruthless. You are going to take all three places!" Third senior brother Lu Shi shouted dissatisfied.
"Why are you talking to me? Let's see if you have improved recently!" Wan Zheng, the second senior brother in the late stage of foundation building, grabbed Lu Shi in the middle stage of foundation building. Lu Shi was ravaged by Wan Zheng.
"Okay!" Senior sister Ye Jingxian stretched out her hands, grabbed the second senior brother and the third senior brother respectively, controlled them, and then said to Li Shiming: "This is one of the few opportunities to join the sect without meeting the conditions. How did I lose to those monks when I was a follower?"
Li Shiming underestimated his current status. Although he was not a true disciple of Elder Jin Dan, his status alone gave him a considerable status in the sect.
"Junior brother, if you really need followers, each of our three families will have one follower. There is no need to worry about loyalty. They will all sign a contract with you and there is no way they will betray you!" The senior sister threw the two senior brothers aside and said. .
"Then thank you, Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, and Third Senior Brother!" Li Shiming agreed with a smile.
His real secret is concealed by the magic circle, and he just needs to keep it from his followers. The followers are only responsible for managing the spiritual fruit tree in the spiritual field of the Sword-holding Peak, as well as some other external affairs.
