Looking at the respectful gazes in the eyes of the dozens of disciples, Lu He's heart was in a trance.

Unconsciously, he had grown to the point where he could be respected by strangers, and in the eyes of these ordinary disciples, he was already a senior.

But in fact, he is only about the same age as them.

"Please!"

Dozens of disciples, their movements were neat and uniform, and they assumed a posture of please.

Cao Zhengchun led the way in front, and Lu He and the two walked into the mountain gate together.

After walking through the huge archway, there is a bluestone avenue tens of meters wide in front of you, on both sides of the avenue, there are many buildings, and you can also see groups of disciples wearing uniform white clothes and carrying long swords walking around or fighting.

"Are you a fool? You have a sword in your hand, not a burning stick, and you can swing it with so much force?"

"The sword is heavy and light, the blade is extremely sharp, and it only takes a light stroke to cut through a person's flesh and skin, so why should it be used as a stick?"

"You new disciples are really the worst generation I've ever led!"

An elderly monk was shouting a reprimand in front of a group of young men and women.

Those young men and women were all new disciples, and they were all frightened and silent at this time, and they didn't dare to speak.

"These are the outer disciples, this is the outer gate of the Pure Yang Sword Sect, and it is also the gathering place of all the outer disciples, there are more than 100,000 outer disciples gathered here, plus the slaves who serve them, the total number is as much as five or six hundred thousand, comparable to a small city. ”

"This mountain is named after the Pure Yang Sword Sect, named Pure Yang Mountain, below one thousand meters of Pure Yang Mountain, it is where the outer disciples live, and further up, it is where the inner disciples live, and the one thousand meters at the top of the Pure Yang Mountain is where the sect master elders and the main protectors of the halls live, and the core disciples also live there. ”

As he walked, Cao Zhengchun introduced the scenery along the way to Lu He, and looked up at the top of the mountain, his eyes full of envy.

Although Cao Zhengchun is a cultivator of the body refining realm, because his qualifications are not top-notch, he is only an inner disciple.

The two of them didn't go fast, this was Lu He's deliberate control of speed, it was rare to come to the Pure Yang Sword Sect once, and he also wanted to see what the life of the sect disciples he often longed for in his previous life was like.

Hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, Lu He was puzzled: "Outer disciples, inner disciples, core disciples, is there any difference between the three?"

"Naturally, there is. ”

Cao Zhengchun said with a smile: "The outer disciples are the average spiritual realm disciples, and they can receive ten lower-grade spirit stones and a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill every month, and their cultivation is only entry-level exercises. However, the inner disciples are all cultivators of the body refining realm, and they can receive ten medium-grade spirit stones and a bottle of qi nourishing pills every month, and the exercises they practice have become better, and there are monthly competitions in the inner gate, and the top ten are rewarded to motivate everyone to practice. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhengchun paused and said, "Generally speaking, no matter whether the qualifications are good or not, as long as you can cultivate to the body refining realm, you are an inner disciple, but if you want to become a core disciple, cultivation alone is not enough. ”

"Why?"

Lu He had doubts in his eyes, it was not enough to have cultivation?

Cao Zhengchun sighed lightly and said, " The core disciples, all of them are monsters, as if they were born for cultivation, the speed of cultivation is hundreds of times faster than ordinary people, not to mention, their understanding of practice is also very unique, a book of the same exercises, maybe they will read it once, but ordinary people need to study for days or even months, between the two, the gap is huge, like a world of difference, there are 100,000 monks in the Pure Yang Sword Sect, but there are only a few dozen core disciples, these people will inevitably become the pillars of the Pure Yang Sword Sect in the future, so the sect will naturally spare no effort to cultivate them, and even the sect master will guide them to practice。 ”

"I'll give you an example, a few days ago, the sect recruited people, and an ordinary person who didn't have any cultivation in his body came, but even if he didn't have any cultivation, he crushed everyone at the entrance ceremony, and even finally alarmed the sect master, the sect master personally accepted him as an apprentice, took him to the top of the mountain to practice, and personally guided, sometimes the gap between people and people is really doomed from birth. ”

After staying in the Pure Yang Sword Sect for so many years, Cao Zhengchun had already seen through many things, but when he mentioned that person, he was inevitably a little sour in his heart.

In front of such Tianjiao, ordinary people, they can only be foils forever.

Lu He knew that the person Cao Zhengchun was talking about should be the black-clothed young man he met outside the Blood Demon Sect.

But until now, Lu He didn't know the name of the young man.

Lu He patted Cao Zhengchun on the shoulder and said, "Cultivation is full of opportunities, perhaps, it's just that your opportunity has not yet arrived, you don't have to force it, it is the right thing to practice hard to make yourself stronger." ”

Cao Zhengchun was stunned, and then his face showed a look of sudden realization, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you seniors for your advice!"

"Let's go. ”

Lu He nodded lightly and continued to walk forward.

Lu He didn't find Tang Lingxuan among those outer disciples, and he thought that with Tang Lingxuan's qualifications, he was either an inner disciple or a core disciple.

After all, Tang Lingxuan had only cultivated to the perfection of the Spirit Realm in just three years, and he was only one foot away from the Body Refining Realm, and with such a cultivation speed, it was impossible for him to be a disciple of the outer sect.

But Lu He didn't deliberately look for Tang Lingxuan, he said hello if he could see it, and if he couldn't see it, he didn't have to force it.

Soon, the two of them stepped up the bluestone steps and came to the middle level of Chunyang Mountain.

Both the density and refinement of the buildings here are much better than those at the foot of the mountain, after all, the number of inner disciples is not large, and everyone can occupy a large area to build their own mansion.

There are also a lot fewer people here, and compared with the hustle and bustle at the foot of the mountain, this place can be regarded as a bit of an immortal sect.

On the bluestone steps, several young people walked towards them.

"Yo, isn't this the dog raised by Cao Feng?

A young man at the head looked at Cao Zhengchun, his face full of disdain.

Cao Zhengchun's face changed slightly, he looked at the young man coldly, and said, "Chen Hu, get out of the way quickly, Senior Lu next to me is the guest of the sect master." ”

"The Sect Master's guest?"

Chen Hu was stunned for a moment, then laughed wildly, and said: "Cao Zhengchun, why haven't you seen you for a few months, you actually learned to lie, this kid looks like a mortal without spiritual power, you actually say that he is a guest of the sect master?

Saying that, Chen Hu looked at Lu He, and said with a disdainful face: "Boy, do you think that you have met a big man when you look at Cao Zhengchun's cultivation? ”
