Boundary of Baiyan City, Tianyun Sect
After getting off the floating boat, the sect leader Shui Hanyan left after saying a few short words.
Then an older deacon and elder with gray hair came forward.
"Cough, cough... My name is: Shui Zhi. I am the deacon and elder of the outer sect of Tianyun Sect. You can also call me "Zhi Lao". Even if you join our Tianyun Sect, you must understand the rules of our Tianyun Sect. . Now I will give you a detailed introduction to the Tianyun Sect’s sect rules, and I hope you will keep them in mind..."
As he spoke, the green-shirted elder named Shui Zhi slowly took out a scroll from his wide sleeves, straightened his voice, opened it and read aloud:
First: It is forbidden to betray the sect. If there is any violation, the sect will punish you.
Second: It is forbidden for fellow disciples to kill each other. If there is an unresolved life-and-death feud between disciples, the sect's life-and-death stage can be used to decide life and death.
Third: It is forbidden to murder fellow disciples. If there is any violation, martial arts will be abolished in serious cases.
…………
Elder Shuizhi read it word by word and loudly.
In the audience, although many new disciples were very bored by the red tape of the sect, they did not dare to show it unscrupulously and still listened obediently, but most of them were just pretending.
Qiye stood at the end of the crowd and looked around.
The entire valley basin is surrounded by mountains, with mountains like eyebrows and peaks clustered together. A green lake with blue waves was formed in the basin, and in the middle of the lake there was a small island in the middle of the lake that was slightly above the water. I was now on a bluestone square on the small island in the middle of the lake. There is only one wooden bridge connecting the small island in the middle of the lake to the shore.
While looking around, Qiye accidentally discovered that among the crowd, Xiang Lifu was peeking at him evasively from time to time. Compared with before, he didn't have the arrogant courage, so he didn't care at all.
His eyes turned elsewhere. On the shore connected by the wooden bridge was the Tianyun Sect's sect:
On the majestic mountain gate plaque more than ten meters high and made of white marble, the three characters "Tianyun Sect" are shining and graceful.
After the plaque, a wide and smooth mountain road with steps extends into the mountains.
The green mountains reveal the glazed golden palace Qiongyu everywhere, even implying that treasures are hidden in the mountains.
While watching curiously, Elder Shuizhi had finished reading the long sect's forest rules, and then began to focus on introducing the disciple levels of Tianyun Sect. Qiye also put away his idle mind and listened carefully.
It turns out that there are about more than 10,000 disciples in Tianyun Sect. The status of these disciples from high to low are:
There are seven hundred true disciples, and their status is second only to the elders of the inner sect. Next are the 4,000 inner disciples with a medium status, and the 6,000 outer disciples with the lowest status.
Needless to say, the new disciples who join the sect are naturally outside disciples.
The outer sect disciples generally have to practice in the outer sect for two years before they are qualified to pass the strict assessment and be promoted to the inner sect disciples.
In addition, among the more than 10,000 disciples, there are only less than 1,000 people with the talent of alchemy master.
In addition, Elder Shuizhi also introduced the entire sect situation of Tianyun Sect:
Tianyun Sect is divided into two branches: inner and outer.
The inner gate is divided into three halls, three halls and one garden.
The outer gate is divided into seven pavilions
The three palaces refer to:
Sect Master Hall: The main hall where Sect Master Shui Hanyan handles sect affairs and personnel reception is the core place of the entire Tianyun Sect.
Huzong Hall: It is composed of powerful and prestigious elders. It is mainly responsible for maintaining the stability of the sect and resolving external crises.
Law Enforcement Hall: If the sect leader, elders and true disciples make mistakes, they will be dealt with by the Law Enforcement Hall.
Three halls refer to:
Alchemy Hall: It is composed of the alchemy elders of Tianyun Sect and is responsible for the supply of elixirs to the entire sect and the training of subsequent alchemy disciples.
Martial Arts Hall: It is composed of elders with strong martial arts skills in the sect. It is mainly responsible for assessing the promotion of disciples and teaching martial arts skills.
Discipline Hall: mainly handles fault disputes and secular disputes between inner disciples and outer disciples. Maintain the sect’s rules and regulations.
One garden
Lingcao Garden: Plants a large number of elixir flowers and fruits, responsible for supplying the alchemy hall with practical alchemy.
The seven pavilions of the outer gate:
Spirit Weapon Pavilion: Refining, repairing or selling low-level spiritual weapons for use
Library Pavilion: rent and sell martial arts skills
Lingdan Pavilion: sells elixirs refined by the elixir hall
Wanbao Pavilion: Selling low-level magic weapons
Mission Pavilion: Complete missions to get rewards
Information Pavilion: sect intelligence and paid information exploration
Handyman Pavilion: Arrangement of sect servants for the outer disciples
Everything is organized and everyone performs their duties.
After Elder Shuizhi's detailed introduction, many new disciples also had a general understanding of the basic situation of Tianyun Sect.
Although it is only a third-class sect with more than 10,000 people, it is still small but has all the internal organs.
"Cough, cough...hmm, okay, that's all for now, let's talk about the sect. Next, the disciples who have not yet opened their spirits, please come to me. The other disciples will follow the other two elders of the outer sect. Sect.”
Elder Shuizhi arranged it after finishing talking about it.
Qiye had a premonition that the spiritual awakening ceremony for unopened disciples was about to take place. He felt happy and then walked to the place designated by Elder Shuizhi very consciously.
The crowd is divided. Among the two thousand new disciples recruited by Tianyun Sect this time, there are nearly a thousand disciples who have not yet enlightened themselves.
It is almost impossible for children from poor families to rely on their own family to obtain spiritual enlightenment, so recruiting disciples from a sect is their only chance to become a monk in this life.
Compared with Qiye's calmness, many disciples seemed uneasy:
This is the only chance they have in this life to open up their spirits. If they fail, they are likely to be kicked out of the sect and return to the miserable life of being a slave and a fish.
Not all talented ordinary disciples who are selected can successfully open their spirits 100% of the time.
This is common sense, so their concerns are unfounded.
Elder Shuizhi looked at the group of selected disciples who were about to receive spiritual enlightenment. Almost all of them, without exception, had solemn expressions on their faces.
However, there was only one exception, and that was the plain-looking, short and thin Qiye.
At this time, Qiye was quietly among the crowd, with no sign of any joy, anger, sorrow, or joy. There was also a trace of unhidden expectation in his eyes, which was unpredictable.
"This kid doesn't seem worried?" Elder Shuizhi guessed with some confusion.
However, he didn't know the results of Qiye's talent test before that. If he knew, he would think that Qiye's calmness was a sign of confidence.
In fact, among the ordinary disciples selected, only Qiye's test result reached the level of the first-grade earth spiritual root, and the rest were all human spiritual roots.
When the three sects gathered together, among the dozen or so earth spirits detected, except for Qiye, who chose Tianyun Sect, the rest all chose Tianwu Sect or Tianhai Sect.
"Come with me..." Elder Shuizhi waved his hand and led everyone to a circular square paved with marble behind the mountain forest.
The entire square is nearly half the size of a football field, with eight huge stone columns standing around the edge. On the top of each column is a spar the size of a football, which emits a light blue light.
The square is also engraved with dense and complex graphics and inscriptions.
"This is the spirit array." Qiye recognized it at a glance. He had already done a little research on the art of mechanism formation. After carefully looking at the spirit array, he concluded that it was a huge spirit gathering array.
"It would be great if we could absorb spiritual energy through this spirit gathering array..." Qiye secretly said excitedly.
Based on my own speculation about the spirit-gathering flag, if this huge spirit-gathering array is activated, I am afraid that all the spiritual energy of the entire mountains will be absorbed. That energy is many times stronger than the Spirit Gathering Flag.
"This is our sect's spirit-gathering array. Next, follow the arrangements and walk into the array to gather your energy and concentration. After a while, the spirit-gathering array will be activated and will help your Dantian to transform. Whether you can successfully open your spirits depends on your luck... "
Elder Shuizhi said as verbosely as ever.
When everyone looked at such a huge spirit gathering formation, their faces became even more nervous. But now that I have successfully reached this point, I have no intention of giving up.
After a moment, everyone entered the spirit gathering array and sat cross-legged.
Qiye chose to sit on the floor in a remote location, keeping a slight distance from the people around him, but not making himself look too different in the crowd.
After sitting down for a moment, he began to adjust his breath slowly, waiting for the Spirit Gathering Array to start.
"Get up!" When everyone was ready, Elder Shuizhi took out a golden token.
When the token is played, it immediately emits a dazzling golden light.
Golden light shone into the spirit gathering array, and the crystal stones on the top of the eight stone pillars gradually melted, turning into a stream of blue liquid and flowing into the stone pillars.
Then, buzzing... the stone pillars that had been stationary began to buzz as if they were half activated, and the eight stone pillars began to rotate around the center of the square.
At this moment, Qiye felt a strong spiritual energy pouring from the sky into the spirit gathering array, blowing towards him like the breeze after the rain.
As the rotation speed of the stone pillars intensified, the spiritual energy around them rolled in like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.
Feeling such huge energy, Qiye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his calm face could not hide his joy. But despite his excitement, he did not act rashly.
After all, you are under the roof now, so you need to be careful about everything.
Within the realm of Hunyuan Lian, the soul urges the Hun Tian Wheel to accelerate, and the two wheels drive together, with endless power.
Due to the perfect shield of the Hunyuan Refining Realm, even if the suction force in the spiritual world rages like a storm, the outside world cannot detect a trace of spiritual energy in his body.
Afterwards, Qiye carefully guided the huge suction generated by the Hun Tian Wheel through the ground where he was sitting, and conducted the suction into the ground.
Even across a hard and thick stone platform, the suction force can be transmitted into the ground in a unique invisible form.
As soon as it goes deep into the ground, it becomes violent like a wild beast that has lost control, swallowing the spiritual energy that has entered the spirit gathering array.
Suddenly, countless abundant spiritual energy gathered from all directions. After entering the spirit gathering array, it was quickly pumped into the ground. The speed was even faster than the penetration of rain.
The spiritual energy that entered the ground passed through a channel like a whirlpool on the sea floor, directly entered the spiritual world of Qiye, and was injected into the rotating Hun Tian Wheel, where it was ground into pure spiritual liquid.
"What the hell is going on?!"
Outside the spirit gathering array, Elder Shuizhi was shocked.
After such a large amount of spiritual energy entered the spirit gathering array, it did not enter the body of the new disciple, but directly penetrated into the ground and disappeared, escaping like an air leak.
Although Elder Shuizhi was extremely anxious outside the spirit array, the spirit gathering array was fully activated at this moment and could not be stopped immediately. He could only wait for the energy in the stone pillars to be exhausted before stopping the spirit array to enter for inspection.
