LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 75 Mountain Gate
Under the guidance of Senior Brother Yuan, Chen Yuan came to the Refining Pavilion and received the identity jade card of Lingyun Sect disciples, a storage bag with a three-foot space, a standard top-grade flying sword "White Cloud Sword", and a set of black standard robes, which have the effect of avoiding dust.
Afterwards, Senior Brother Yuan led Chen Yuan to take a circle inside the Lingyun Sect mountain gate.
The Lingyun Sect mountain gate is vast, but more than 70% of the area is the cave residence and spiritual medicine garden of the cultivators, and the remaining 30% is the Refining Pavilion, Alchemy Pavilion, Talisman Pavilion, Sutra Pavilion, Heart-searching Hall, Master Hall, Mission Hall and other areas where cultivators gather.
It took several hours for the two to roughly go through these areas.
During this process, Senior Brother Yuan also introduced the situation of Lingyun Sect to Chen Yuan.
There are more than 2,000 cultivators in Lingyun Sect, of which 80% are Qi Refining cultivators, there are only more than 300 foundation-building cultivators, and there are only a dozen or so Jindan cultivators.
But this ratio is already very good. Among the casual cultivators, only one in a hundred can build a foundation, and only one in ten thousand can form a pill.
Lingyun Sect’s disciples are almost all true spiritual root cultivators, and there are also geniuses with earth spiritual roots and heaven spiritual roots. The cultivation resources are far more than those of casual cultivators, so there are so many foundation-building cultivators and pill-forming cultivators.
These foundation-building cultivators and pill-forming cultivators are the backbone of Lingyun Sect, supporting the reputation of the six major sects of Lingyun Sect.
But what makes Lingyun Sect among the six major sects is the only Yuanying cultivator, the sect leader Xuanyuanzi.
In the words of Senior Brother Yuan, Xuanyuanzi has great magical powers, and it is easy for him to move mountains and overturn rivers and seas.
It is precisely because of the power of the sect leader Xuanyuanzi that Lingyun Sect can stay in the upper reaches of the six major sects in Qi State, second only to Ziyang Sect and comparable to Tiangang Sword Sect.
However, Xuan Yuanzi only served as the head of the sect and did not take care of the sect's mundane affairs.
He even spent most of his time away from the sect, but traveling around the world to look for opportunities to make further progress.
The mundane affairs of the Lingyun Sect were all managed by an elder in the Jindan realm, and they rotated every five years.
If there was a major event, the Jindan elders in the sect would make a joint decision.
The foundation-building cultivators below were divided into core disciples and steward disciples.
The core disciples focused on cultivation and did not care about the sect's miscellaneous affairs, but they would take the lead in every fight.
Steward disciples were foundation-building cultivators who had no hope of achieving Jindan and were responsible for handling the trivial affairs of the sect.
The twenty foundation-building cultivators at the Ascension Conference were steward disciples.
Qi-refining cultivators were divided into outer disciples, inner disciples, and miscellaneous disciples.
After entering the sect, cultivators became outer disciples and needed to complete the sect's tasks in exchange for spirit stones for cultivation.
When an outer disciple has been in the sect for ten years and has reached the late stage of Qi Refining, he will be transferred to an inner disciple and can exchange a spiritual stone for a foundation-building pill.
If an inner disciple fails to break through the foundation-building stage, he will be transferred to a miscellaneous disciple and will never have the opportunity to obtain a foundation-building pill again.
Miscellaneous disciples are responsible for taking care of the spiritual medicine garden inside the mountain gate, or serving as managers in the spiritual mines, spiritual lands, and markets outside the mountain gate.
Although Chen Yuan has the cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi Refining, he has been a disciple for less than ten years and is only an outer disciple.
…
The two of them walked around the mountain gate and finally came to the Sutra Pavilion to receive the basic exercises.
The Sutra Pavilion covers a vast area and is three stories high. After entering the door, a skinny old man sat on a recliner, flipping through an ancient book with a slightly yellowed cover.
After entering the door, Senior Brother Yuan casually bowed to the skinny old man:
"Uncle Geng, I am leading the new Junior Brother Chen to receive the basic exercises."
Seeing this, Chen Yuan followed suit and bowed.
"Go ahead."
The skinny old man raised his head slightly, glanced at the two, then lowered his head and continued reading.
Senior Brother Yuan led Chen Yuan to the Sutra Library.
There were hundreds of bookshelves on the first floor of the Sutra Library, but only a few bookshelves had jade slips hanging on them, and the others were filled with volumes of books and bamboo slips.
Several cultivators were walking back and forth in front of the bookshelves, taking out a volume of books from time to time and flipping through them.
Senior Brother Yuan pointed to the bookshelves with jade slips:
"Junior Brother Chen, these jade slips are the basic exercises of the Qi Refining Stage, you can choose any one."
Chen Yuan nodded and picked a jade slip at random.
Except for the different attributes, the basic exercises are the same in other aspects, and it is impossible to tell which is better.
Only when it comes to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the exercises are different and there is a huge difference.
Chen Yuan took a jade slip in his hand and returned to the door with Senior Brother Yuan.
Senior Brother Yuan said to the skinny old man:
"Uncle Geng, Junior Brother Chen has already chosen the technique."
The skinny old man put the ancient book on his chest and stretched out a hand:
"Bring the jade slip."
Chen Yuan bowed and handed over the jade slip with both hands.
The skinny old man took the jade slip, took out another jade slip with his left hand, and put the two jade slips together.
After a moment, he threw the second jade slip to Chen Yuan and said with a smile:
"If you have time in the future, you can come and visit more often. There are many good things in the Sutra Pavilion. I also have a deep understanding of Dongxu Mountain..."
Chen Yuan took the jade slip, not knowing why, but still bowed to him:
"Thank you, Uncle Geng, I will follow your teachings."
Senior Brother Yuan curled his lips, bowed casually, turned around and walked out of the Sutra Pavilion.
Chen Yuan followed and asked:
"Brother Yuan, what does Uncle Geng mean by that?"
"Brother Chen, did you see the bookshelves with books and bamboo slips?"
"Yes, they are very similar to the bookshelves in the mortal world."
"There are a lot of miscellaneous things on those bookshelves, including Taoist classics, ancient legends and travel stories about the world of immortality, and various anthologies of the mortal world. Some people have discovered clues about ancient secret realms and monks' caves, and harvested Quite abundant.”
"Isn't the Sutra Pavilion a treasure house?"
"How could such a good thing persist until now? The former disciples had turned the Scripture Pavilion upside down and unearthed all the hidden secrets. In the past two hundred years, only one disciple found a foundation building In the later period, the monk’s cave received a lot of cultivation resources.”
"Then why Uncle Geng still..."
"He wants to earn spiritual stones from you! When our Qi Refining disciples enter the Sutra Pavilion, they need to spend spiritual stones. Ten spiritual stones for one hour. During this period, all the classics on the first floor can be read at will. "
"Uncle Geng is a foundation-building monk, so he still cares about this spiritual stone?"
Senior Brother Yuan sneered:
"Haha, Uncle Geng is quite famous in the sect. He was originally a casual cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. He got lucky and passed the Immortal Ascension Conference. Later, he risked his life to enter Dongxu Mountain. I actually picked up a rare spiritual object and exchanged it for a foundation-building pill, and the foundation-building was successful."
"But his good luck has come to an end. He has been trapped in the early stage of foundation building for decades, unable to make any progress, and his strength is at the bottom among the foundation building monks. In order to provide training for his grandson with pseudo-spiritual roots, he can only deceive others and hide it. Jing Pavilion. For every ten pieces of spiritual stone that a Qi Refining disciple pays, he can get two pieces, which is quite impressive if he adds up to a lot."
Chen Yuan suddenly realized:
"Were those senior brothers in the Sutra Pavilion deceived by him?"
Senior Brother Yuan shook his head this time:
"Not entirely. Although there are no secrets to be discovered in the Scripture Pavilion, some classics are still of some use. Reading more Taoist classics is also beneficial. But if you want to find any clues to the ancient secret realm, it is just wishful thinking."
"Thank you, senior brother, for the tip..."
Chen Yuan thanked him and asked again:
"Where is Dongxu Mountain? You can actually pick up spiritual objects, but is it a secret place?"
Senior Brother Yuan's expression changed slightly:
"Dongxu Mountain is indeed a secret realm, but I don't know much about it. Junior Brother Chen will know about it in the future."
Chen Yuan saw that his expression was different, so he didn't ask any more questions and took the initiative to change the topic:
"Senior Brother Yuan, where is that hall?"
"That's the main hall where Master Ji-Build gives lectures regularly. It's one of the favorite places for disciples in the sect..."
The two chatted and laughed all the way, walking past several mountain peaks, and came to the foot of a short mountain peak that was only three hundred feet high.
There are courtyards built on the mountain, which are similar to Ding and other caves in Huanyuefang City, but much simpler.
There were many Lingyun Sect disciples running along the mountain road, all in a hurry.
Senior Brother Yuan said:
"Junior Brother Chen, this Zhu Ming Mountain is where the outer disciples live. Junior Brother Chen can choose any free courtyard to live in, and then use the identity jade token to activate the restriction."
Chen Yuan cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yuan, for helping me clear up my doubts all the way. Junior Brother is very grateful."
Senior Brother Yuan smiled and said:
"Junior brother Chen, there is no need to be polite. When I take over the task of the Immortal Ascension Conference, I naturally have to fulfill my duties..."
Afterwards, the two exchanged a few words before Senior Brother Yuan said goodbye and left.
Chen Yuan came to Zhuming Mountain and found that most of the courtyards were empty, so he randomly chose a secluded courtyard.
There are three houses in the courtyard, a training room, and a spiritual gathering array carved on the ground. The spiritual energy is rich and similar to the first-class cave house that Chen Yuan rented in Huanyuefang City.
And this is just the worst kind of cave in the Lingyun Sect. The six major sects are indeed very wealthy.
There is also a main hall where guests can receive guests, and two empty rooms that can be used at will.
Chen Yuan tested the courtyard's built-in restriction, which could block three attacks from a monk at the tenth level of Qi Refining. It could also block the intrusion of spiritual consciousness, and the protection ability was extremely strong.
However, in the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect, there is a protective formation to protect them, so there is no need to worry about safety.
The main purpose of the prohibition is to prevent accidents from occurring and interfering with cultivation.
After checking the courtyard, Chen Yuan returned to the training room and took out Huang Yunshang's storage bag.
He did not hesitate to kill Huang Yunshang and became a enemy of the Huang family because of the talisman in his hand.
Chen Run touched the storage bag, and many items appeared out of thin air on the table in front of him, filling the table.
He first counted the spiritual stones and elixirs. There were a total of five hundred and twenty-four low-grade spiritual stones, two bottles of Yuhua elixir, one bottle of healing elixir, and one bottle of mana-restoring elixir.
These more than five hundred spiritual stones made Chen Yuan's dry storage bag suddenly full.
Before he attended the Immortal Ascension Conference, he spent almost all the spiritual stones on his body to buy magic tools and talismans.
Thirty wind blade talismans, top-grade magic weapons, blood lightsabers, and green condensed shields cost more than 1,500 spiritual stones.
He carefully prepared the low-grade spiritual talisman Thunder Talisman and the top-grade magical weapon Purple Bee Needle, which were all taken at the Golden Toad Meeting, as well as more than a thousand spiritual stones.
In addition, he also prepared a batch of high-grade magic talismans and top-quality magic talismans, but they were not put to use.
This is the second update, there is another chapter at 11pm.
