Chapter 60: Xiaobai's Entry Into Taoism (Part 2)

Next, Lin Daqiao talked about the sect rules. At this point, the seventh senior brother said that there are many sect rules and they are very long, but as long as you remember a few points and don't touch them, it will be fine.

First, you must not kill your fellow disciples, otherwise it will be a life for a life. Of course, if it is purely a self-defense killing, it is a different matter. At that time, everything will be discussed by the law enforcement hall where the incident occurred or the law enforcement halls of both peaks; second, when you meet fellow disciples in trouble outside, unless the realm is too different from the enemy, you must go forward to help. Those who keep themselves safe will be fined a large amount of spiritual stones and cut off their cultivation resources for several years; those who are serious will be abolished and expelled from the sect; third, you must not commit crimes outside. Although the Wuliang Sect never claims to be a famous and upright sect, it also has its own style of doing things. Once such people are found, their end is quite miserable. It is not just as simple as abolishing their cultivation. They may also have to endure the pain of being devoured by thousands of insects. It is impossible to die in just a few days, and suicide is a luxury.

If there is punishment in the sect, there will be reward. The sect is divided into the chores department, outer gate, and inner gate from the bottom up. Some disciples sent by subordinate immortal gates are not all-round disciples. Only those who pass the assessment will be accepted into the outer gate for cultivation; the other part of the disciples with good qualifications but failed the assessment can be accepted into the chores department first, and do chores temporarily, such as chopping wood, cooking, and cleaning on weekdays. They get rewards by doing things, and exchange them for spirit stones for diligent cultivation. They will take the assessment during the small examination in each peak every year. Those who pass the assessment can enter the outer gate.

And those who want Only the elite disciples in the outer sect can enter the inner gate after passing the layers of assessment. They are the core of the sect, the geniuses of each peak, and the hope of the sect in the future. There is another situation that can also enter the inner gate, that is, no matter you are a servant or an outer sect disciple, once you successfully build your foundation, you can also enter the inner gate. Speaking of this, Lin Daqiao glanced at Li Yan and said, "You can enter our sect, it is still related to the foundation building of the outer sect."

Li Yan felt strange when he heard it, but suddenly remembered that Dong Fuyi had talked to him, and vaguely guessed something, but his expression was surprised to look at Lin Daqiao.

Lin Daqiao was looked at by Li Yan with a look of "I knew it was so", and after pretending to smile mysteriously, he started to talk.

Twenty years ago, a disciple named Lianshan from the outer sect of Lingchong Peak successfully established his foundation and was originally qualified to enter the inner sect, but in the end he failed to enter the inner sect because he might have raped and killed a mortal woman outside. However, he kept this matter very secret. The sect only received reports from subordinate immortal sects, but there was no evidence, so they wanted to observe and decide how to make a decision. However, Lianshan seemed to be alert. Without waiting for Lingchong Peak to respond, he stole the introductory books and jade slips from Lingchong Peak and defected from the peak. When the senior leaders of Lingchong Peak knew about this, they were furious and continued to send people to hunt him down. However, due to his cunning personality and the fact that he had been in the Wuliang Sect for more than 40 years and was familiar with their methods of hunting down, they were unsuccessful. Until later, this person died outside a golden elixir cave, and the contents of the storage bag were taken away by the third military division.

Li Yan knew halfway through that it was the same as he had guessed, but in the end he still showed an expression of "I see".

In addition, there is a special kind of disciples who enter the sect, such as Lin Daqiao and Li Yan, who directly join the Jindan sect without any assessment, but they can only be regarded as outer disciples. In Xiaozhu Peak, only the eldest brother Li Wuyi, the third brother Yun Chunqu, and the sixth sister Gong Chenying are inner disciples. This probability is already very high. Before Li Yan came, this accounted for nearly half of the number of disciples in Xiaozhu Peak.

In addition, the sect also has a five-year competition for disciples below the middle stage of foundation building and a ten-year competition for disciples from the middle stage to the late stage of foundation building. This is a common competition for all peaks, and each peak must participate and cannot shirk responsibility. The former is mainly to check the general cultivation of the disciples of each peak; the latter is mainly to check the core strength of the sect and measure the good materials and beautiful jades among these senior disciples who may form pills, so as to prepare for the next step of training. This is the importance that the ancient major sects attach to inheritance. Everything is for inheritance, and there are also rich resource rewards in the competition, usually secret manuals, a large number of spiritual stones, etc., to encourage disciples to show their true abilities. This kind of competition generally has a large number of serious injuries, and there are fewer deaths. As long as the cultivators do not die, they can basically recover as before after taking pills and recuperating for several months or years.

And the four major sects will also hold exchanges and competitions and secret treasure hunts from time to time, but the competition between these sects is more bloody and cruel, often life and death hunting. They also focus on foundation building and condensation of qi as a supplement. The purpose is to increase the strong survival ability of the fresh blood of the sect and obtain more cultivation resources at the same time.

At this point, Lin Daqiao turned the topic to the allocation of sect resources.

Sect disciples can choose some techniques and magic for free, but these techniques and magic are usually ordinary stuff. If you want to practice good techniques and magic, you must use spirit stones to buy them. The main purpose of the sect doing this is to increase the survival awareness of the sect disciples. Otherwise, if they are too comfortable, they will be wiped out countless times in this world of cultivation where the weak are the prey of the strong.

Qi Condensation disciples like Li Yan will receive a fixed three pieces of low-grade spirit stones every month, plus the rich spiritual energy of the sect, which is enough for cultivation. However, as the cultivation deepens, better techniques, magic, elixirs, talismans, etc. will be needed, and all of these must be exchanged for spirit stones.

So where do these spiritual stones come from? The sect mission hall of Laojun Peak is the place to earn spiritual stones. There you can take on various tasks, such as hunting monsters, looking after the medicine garden for the sect elders, looking for spiritual medicine for others, and even assassinating other immortal cultivators. This kind of thing also happens in other sects, but it is just an open secret. The four major sects are not as harmonious as they seem on the surface. As long as you can avoid having any evidence fall into the hands of others, it will be fine. Once you have evidence that falls into the hands of others, it is your personal behavior and has nothing to do with the sect. The sect is a force. Although it always wants to kill its opponents, it depends on the strength of the opponent. If they are evenly matched, the outcome of the sect war is just a loss for both sides. The mission hall has a variety of tasks, and these tasks are the main source of earning spiritual stones. Of course, there are also many disciples who go out to hunt treasures and hunt monsters privately or in teams, and sell or exchange them for spiritual stones after returning, which is also a good source of income. There are tasks from the Condensation Stage to the Golden Core Stage. Even the Golden Core Stage Master will take on some difficult tasks. They need more spiritual stones for cultivation, but the Yuanying Old Ancestor does not need to take any tasks. All expenses of this old monster are provided by the sect. They are the pillars of a sect. When the sect is facing life and death, they will strike the final blow.

In addition to the Laojun Peak Sect Task Hall, each peak also has its own small task hall, but the tasks here are more distinctive and targeted, less universal. You can also earn spiritual stones by taking the tasks here. For example, when there are people outside the Lingchong Peak, you need to find someone to temporarily raise spiritual insects and spiritual objects for him; Laojun Peak also often needs people to assist in alchemy and weapon making. However, this kind of tasks from each peak are usually not enough for the peak to grab, after all, they are the experts who are most familiar with their own peak. Among the five peaks, the tasks of Xiaozhu Peak are the most popular. There are all kinds of chores in the peak, such as watering spiritual plants, cooking, raising, etc. Since there are too few disciples here, they can't finish the work at all, so many tasks are often issued, and other peaks come to grab the task list.

Li Yan's eyes were full of questions when he heard this. He could understand watering spiritual plants, but what about cooking? Aren't those chores disciples doing these, or are there too few chores disciples in Xiaozhu Peak to do it? Besides, after the cultivator reaches the third level of the Condensation Stage, he can practice fasting. It's okay not to eat or drink for a few days. Even if he wants to eat occasionally, it's not the point of issuing tasks. In addition, Xiaozhu Peak also raises a lot of spiritual insects. Isn't this something that only Lingchong Peak and Buli Peak have?

Seeing Li Yan's surprised expression, Lin Daqiao smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, Junior Brother, the cooking in the mission hall in the peak is not the ordinary kind of cooking. This is mainly responsible for by the second senior brother. Sometimes he is too busy and will issue tasks. As for raising spiritual insects, it is also different from Lingchong Peak and Buli Peak. This matter is handled by the fourth senior sister and the fifth senior brother. You will know it clearly in the future." Having said this, he stopped talking, looking unfathomable.

Looking at the secretive look of the seventh senior brother, this reminded Li Yan of the Gu worms raised in Buli Peak. He couldn't help thinking, "Could it be some special spiritual insects and spiritual beasts? If it is something as scary as the Gu worms, thinking about the place where he lives and there are those little insects crawling around him, and the scene of "rustling" crawling all over the mountains in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but

The pores all over his body stood up.

Lin Daqiao stopped talking, but looked at Li Yan's uncomfortable expression, smiled, and thought to himself, "When I first came here, Senior Brother Five also said the same thing to me, which made me sleep poorly for a few days. I didn't feel better until I understood the situation from Senior Brother. Junior Brother, you can try it too. I don't know if these senior brothers are doing it on purpose. I heard that newcomers in the sect have to be taken to other peaks before coming to Xiaozhu Peak. The most hateful thing is that Senior Brother Five actually took me to Buli Peak on the first day." Thinking of this, he shuddered and looked at Li Yan hurriedly. Fortunately, Li Yan was imagining the scene of insects crawling all over the ground on Xiaozhu Peak at this time, and didn't notice his appearance.

Seeing that Li Yan didn't pay attention to him, but looked embarrassed, he knew that the newcomer had been tricked, so he coughed dryly and changed the subject without giving Li Yan time to think about it. He asked Li Yan to think about it slowly at night.

Seeing that the seventh senior brother did not continue the topic, Li Yan was speechless and had to force himself to listen to him continue to "pass on the skills and impart knowledge".

Then Lin Daqiao talked about the treasure pavilions of each peak. The treasure pavilions of each peak are generally divided into three categories: one is the books and jade slips of skills and immortal arts; one is the collection of spiritual tools, magic weapons, talismans, puppets and the like; the other is various elixirs and drugs.

The skills are different in each peak, but the skills collected are the same as or auxiliary to the main spiritual root attributes of the mountain. The entry-level skills from the Qi Condensation Stage to the Golden Core Stage are free; in addition, the various immortal arts in the treasure pavilion, such as "Wind Blade Technique", "Fire Bomb Technique", "Quick Sand Technique" and other common immortal arts, are available in each peak and are also free. However, advanced skills and immortal arts need to be exchanged for spirit stones.

Li Yan asked a question here. Since they are "Wind Blade Technique", "Fire Bomb Technique" and "Quicksand Technique", why are they universal in all peaks? Logically speaking, "Wind Blade Technique", "Fire Bomb Technique" and "Quicksand Technique" should correspond to the wind attribute, fire attribute and earth attribute respectively.

Lin Daqiao's answer was that the use of these basic immortal arts attributes was not very profound, and they could all be used with other attributes, but they were not as smooth as the spiritual roots of the corresponding attributes. In other words, for example, the use of the "fire bomb technique", a cultivator with a fire spiritual root attribute would definitely be more smooth and casual than someone without the fire attribute, but he was just not very good at it. Otherwise, if a dignified foundation-building or golden elixir cultivator couldn't even release a fireball, how could he be a cultivator.

As for elixirs, spiritual tools, etc., except for the one-time distribution at the time of entry, they must be purchased by themselves with spiritual stones in the future, and the elixirs and spiritual tools cost several, dozens, or even hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones.

After hearing this, Li Yan thought about the three low-level spiritual stones he had received at the beginning, and knew that he was a cultivator who was so poor that he couldn't even buy pants.
