Although Five Elements City is big, it is still not easy for people like Xiao Er who live at the bottom to earn spiritual stones.
Seeing him taking action so boldly, he said with a smile on his face: "Guest, if you want to know any news, just ask, I promise to tell the truth and never hide it!"
"Okay! Thanks a lot, second brother!" Tian Buhui said politely and asked, "Do you know when the Five Elements Palace will recruit disciples?"
The waiter's eyes moved and he said with a smile: "The guest originally wanted to ask this. Just ask anyone and you will know that the Five Elements Palace recruits disciples once every three years and will recruit them again around this time next year!"
Tian Buhui couldn't help but frown after hearing this. It would take another year, and he couldn't afford to wait.
After pondering, he asked again: "Is there a way to join the Five Elements Palace in a year that is not the recruitment year? Maybe there is another way?"
He rubbed his fingers to indicate to the waiter if there was any way he could rely on the spirit stone to join the Five Elements Palace through the back door.
When he first joined the Linghua Sect, he took the path of a cultivating intermediary. If there was one here, he would not hesitate to spend some spiritual stones to join in advance.
"This?" The waiter thought for a while and said, "I only heard that there are elders who go out and bring back seedlings with excellent talents when they encounter them. I haven't heard of anything else."
Tian Buhui was afraid that he would not understand what he meant, so he simply said directly: "Is there any way to join by spending spiritual stones?"
"The guest is joking!" The waiter laughed and said, "You also know that the Five Elements Palace is one of the top ten immortal sects, and there are many people who want to join."
"If, as the guest officer said, you could enter by spending spiritual stones, I'm afraid it would be overcrowded by now!"
He added: "No one is usually allowed to approach the mountain gate of Five Elements Palace, that is, no one is allowed to worship the mountain privately. People cannot kneel there and ask for entry."
"This..." Tian Buhui thought to himself, let's find a way to deal with this.
He then asked: "Are there any special requirements for joining the Five Elements Palace?"
"There are no special requirements!" The waiter replied: "Outer disciples can join as long as they pass the spiritual root test!"
"I mean, if you want to build a foundation, what are the requirements for joining the Five Elements Palace?" Tian Buhui continued to ask.
"This?" The waiter looked him over and said, "The foundation building stage is a little more troublesome. Although there is no spiritual root requirement, you must pass the sect trial to become an inner sect disciple, and you must also take an oath of allegiance to heaven. Only the sect can do it.”
"Do you still want to swear allegiance to Heaven?" Tian Buhui thought in his mind.
He is somewhat resistant to this thing because he likes freedom and does not want to be bound by rules. Having this thing is as uncomfortable as wearing a tight curse.
Seeing him pondering, the waiter said: "What the guest doesn't know is that the person who possesses the cultivation level is probably a spy from another sect. If there is no heavenly oath to bind, how can there be any secrets in the Five Elements Palace?"
Tian Buhui thought that this was indeed the case. The secret code of cultivation techniques in the world of immortality was the foundation of the sect. If it was not strictly controlled, it would have been spread everywhere, and he would not have to come here.
He stretched out his hand to let the waiter leave and fell into deep thought.
The trial didn't matter, he was confident that he could easily pass it based on his own strength.
But for this heavenly oath, the rumors outside were mostly untrustworthy. Without knowing the specific situation of the Five Elements Palace, he was really unwilling to make it.
Although Wang Jingshu and Ye Xiangyu were eating, they could still hear their conversation.
Seeing him frowning and thinking hard, she said, "It's just a year, and it's over just for fun!"
"You know nothing!" Tian Buhui cursed and said, "Eat your food and don't disturb me from thinking about things!"
"Slightly~" Wang Jingshu made a face at him, ignored him and continued eating and drinking.
Now he had to wait for a year to take the normal route. In his heart, he wanted to ask why others who wanted to join the sect met the recruitment time as soon as they arrived.
Why can't I do it myself?
Who is incompetent?
If you can't take the normal route, is there any room for you to use your identity as an alchemist?
A third-level alchemy master is on par with the Golden Alchemy Stage outside. Is it possible for him to be specially recruited by the Five Elements Palace through this?
However, I just heard from the waiter that during the foundation building period, one must take an oath of heaven, so there will definitely be many alchemists.
It is extremely resource intensive to become an alchemist, especially for high-level ones. If you say that you have no power behind you, no one will believe it.
An alchemist who has been famous for a long time may be better off, but an alchemist like me with unknown origins and no apprenticeship makes people more suspicious of being a spy from another sect.
At that time, I'm afraid that making ordinary vows will not count, and there may be other requirements. What if I am allowed to refine elixirs for them behind closed doors for decades?
The thoughts in his mind were so confusing that he didn't even know whether to reveal his identity as an alchemist or hide it.
With a sigh in his heart, he decided to conceal his identity as an alchemist. This identity could easily arouse suspicion and attract attention.
He himself has some secrets that he cannot expose to others. Although he can barely explain it if he is discovered by others, there are some things that these natives cannot understand, which will inevitably make them feel that he is weird.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to think about it any more. There was no special way to enter, so he had to wait obediently for a year.
This is a good time to think carefully about the pros and cons of joining the Five Elements Palace.
Perhaps we can also use this year to get to know some disciples of the Five Elements Palace, and learn from their mouths what kind of place the Five Elements Palace is and how it treats its disciples.
This meal made him unhappy. Since he planned to stay here for a year, he had to find a place to live first.
The Five Elements City is very large, so they rented a medium-sized courtyard in the east of the city as a place for the three of them to stay for the next year.
The reason why he didn't rent a large courtyard was because he didn't plan to buy another set of equipment here to earn spiritual stones.
He already had some thoughts in his mind. During the period before the Five Elements Palace recruits disciples, he would go out frequently.
Wang Jingshu is not like Yi Bing who can look after the house and run the business. She doesn't know what she will do if she doesn't get so many spiritual stones. She is afraid that if she doesn't earn the spiritual stones, it will cause a lot of trouble.
…
After staying in the courtyard for three days, Tian Buhui was preparing to go out. When he came out of the room, he thought about Wang Jingshu and the two of them.
Wang Jingshu will definitely be able to build the foundation in a year. If she decides to join the Five Elements Palace at that time, she will be asked to participate in the disciple assessment with her. It should not be difficult to become an inner disciple.
I just don’t know if they will accept an outer disciple like Ye Xiangyu who has the Five Elements Spiritual Roots.
The time is not now, only a year from now.
He called the two of them to him and said, "You can practice here with peace of mind, I want to go out."
Ye Xiangyu agreed honestly, but Wang Jingshu refused, "I want to go too!"
Tian Buhui had known that she would be like this, so he said calmly: "You can try it!"
The threat in his words was palpable.
He has figured out this girl's temperament clearly. The more you understand her, the more she will talk back to you.
This kind of vague threat made her confused and even a little scared.
Sure enough, Wang Jingshu felt his threat, her eyes rolled around, but in the end she didn't force him to follow him.
He told her not to go out to practice well.
Tian Buhui walked outside the courtyard...
