Chapter 3 Mountain Gate
Although this journey was very long, Lu Yao was very comfortable, because along the way, in addition to eating and sleeping, she was chatting with Mei Lingyun. It's mainly about things in the sect. What does the market do? What are the rules in the sect?
Who are the elders in the sect? What are the newly started disciples doing? Where did these disciples come from? In addition to the affairs of the Shangqing faction, Mei Lingyun also talked to Lu Yao a lot about the other four sects. Because Mei Lingyun was a Jin Linggen monk who was more inclined to fighting, and he was still a sword cultivator, he not only often competed with others in the sect, but also often went to compete with the monks of other sects.
Therefore, Mei Lingyun also knows more about other sects. Lu Yao knew that the Shangqing faction was divided into outer disciples, inner disciples, and secret disciples. Among them, there are about 100,000 outer disciples, all of whom are disciples in the Qi cultivation period. In addition to cultivating, I also have to do a lot of chores. It is the bottom of the sect. If you don't want to do chores, you can pay a certain amount of spirit stones, or you can use the contribution points of the sect to be exempted, so that you can concentrate on cultivation.
Sect contribution points can be obtained through guò competitions, tasks for sects, and so on. You can use the sect's contribution points to buy things in exchange for exercises, in short, in the sect, it is better than spirit stones.
In addition to the outer disciples, they are the inner disciples. The inner disciples are the backbone of the sect, and the Shangqing sect has 50,000 inner disciples. There are also low-level disciples and high-level disciples. Low-level disciples are foundation building disciples, and they are generally assigned some chores to do. However, most of them are some technical work, such as planting spiritual fields, refining medicines, refining weapons, or going to the subject country to worship like the worship of Yu State.
There are quite a lot of low-level disciples, about 45,000 or so.
The remaining 5,000 people are the disciples of Jiedan. Those who are already senior disciples in the Dan period are people who are valued by the sect, and their welfare benefits are relatively good, and the tasks assigned by them are also better. It is even possible to become the administrator of several subject states.
What the sect really values is the secret disciples. There is only one Shangqing sect in Nuoda, and there are only twenty-one secret disciples. Poor to death. Because the secret disciple can only be a Yuanying monk.
These are all disciple-level, and the ones who are really in power are the elders, great elders, and heads of the sect. The Elder is a great monk in the incarnation period, and there are twelve in total. The authority of the Great Elder is as great as that of the head, and sometimes, he can even suppress the head, and the Great Elder is all in the Tribulation Period, and there are only three in total.
The head of the Shangqing faction is a monk in the incarnation period, Su Han, known as Ziya Zhenren.
In addition, the Shangqing school is a comprehensive school. There are sword cultivators, warlocks, alchemists, refiners, formation masters, human races, demon clans, and demon clans.
This is not the case with the other four factions. The Tianyuan faction is a sword cultivator, with the strongest combat power, although the number of people is not as large as the Shangqing faction, but the strength is faintly stronger than the Shangqing faction. However, the sword cultivators of the Tianyuan Sect have always had a good relationship with the Shangqing Sect.
Especially Mei Lingyun, it may be because of sword cultivation, Mei Lingyun actually has more friends in the Tianyuan faction than in the Shangqing faction, and in his words, he is also milder towards the Tianyuan faction.
The Wanfa faction is a faction of law cultivation, most of them are warlocks, this faction has a large number of people, almost as many as the Shangqing faction, and it can be regarded as relatively mild, and the relationship with the Shangqing faction and Mei Lingyun is also good. Mei Lingyun often joined forces with the monks of the Wanfa Sect when he was doing tasks or breaking into secret realms.
There is also the True Demon Sect, all of which are demon cultivators, there are real demons, and there are also human races who practice demon skills. For example, that Daoist Fei Chenzi of the Water Yin Kingdom may have been born in the True Demon Sect. This point has to be carefully investigated after returning to the sect.
Hearing this, Lu Yao also began to hate the True Demon Sect in his heart.
However, listening to Mei Lingyun's words, it seems that Mei Lingyun can't look down on the True Demon Sect very much. also faintly mentioned that there had been several conflicts with the monks of the True Demon Sect.
The last faction is the Guqiu faction of demon cultivators. This faction is all made up of all kinds of monsters, and there are no Terran monks. The strength is very strong, but the temperament is not as fierce as the True Demon Sect, and Mei Lingyun's perception of this faction is still good.
Hearing this, Lu Yao had already understood, it turned out that Mei Lingyun just didn't like the True Demon Sect. However, I also don't like the True Demon Sect, so it's a good thing that two people hate the same. Lu Yao smiled sweetly when he thought of this.
In addition to talking about some things in the cultivation realm, under Lu Yao's repeated questioning, Mei Lingyun had to say something about his expedition. This part, not only Lu Yao likes to listen to it, but Lu Yuan also likes to listen to it.
So every time Lu Yao forced Mei Lingyun to agree to speak, Lu Yao would quickly call his younger brother Lu Yuan over to listen together.
Every time Mei Lingyun started to speak, he felt very weird, during this period of time, especially in the past few days, he said more than he had said in the past hundred years.
Forget it if you talk too much, every time he says it, looking at Lu Yao and Lu Yuan's two small faces and big eyes, he feels very weird, how can he say that he is also a senior disciple in the sect, when did he become an uncle who coaxes children to tell stories?
Mei Lingyun's language expression ability, compared to his mana, is really a heaven and an earth. However, fortunately, the world of Xiuzhen is really exciting, those magical landscapes, strange creatures, and thrilling fights are very interesting in themselves, although Mei Lingyun's expression is not good, Lu Yuan still listens to it with relish.
However, Lu Yao heard something else.
It turned out that looking at the incomparably beautiful Mei Lingyun's cultivation life, it was so difficult, so difficult, and so helpless. Lu Yao was very distressed. Looking at Mei Lingyun's extremely handsome face, sometimes in her heart, she couldn't help but think that if this person was in her previous life, just this face would have become a big star and live a rich and wonderful life.
Of course, even in this world, if you don't have a spiritual root and don't cultivate immortals, as a descendant disciple of the Mei family of a big family, you can have enough food and clothing, and you can be a disciple. However, he left his parents at a young age and worked alone in the Shangqing faction.
How many tears, how much loneliness, how much fear, although Mei Lingyun didn't say anything at all, but Lu Yao felt extremely distressed as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
From Mei Lingyun's story, Lu Yao also heard a thing. The cultivation realm is also a world of fighting fathers. Most of those who were born and raised in the cultivation world have very good qualifications from birth, their spiritual roots are relatively good, their parents and relatives are all monks, and they have more resources.
Even the disciples of some big families, although they also started from the outer disciples, but they haven't swept the ground for a day, haven't done a day's work, and they have taken out a lot of spirit stones from their homes to give to the sect, and they can just cultivate every day.
In addition to having more time, they also have the guidance of their relatives, so they are naturally much faster than ordinary monks who just listen to the courses of the sect and read and study by themselves.
Also, the disciples of the big family, generally have more treasures of heaven and earth in the family. They began to pour a large amount of spiritual herb pills in their mother's womb, and after they were born, they were also all kinds of pills, and they were used in rare ways in heaven and earth, and they could pile up a knot pill monk.
Therefore, there are 5,000 monks in the sect, but in the end, only 21 people can become babies smoothly. This is because most of the monks are monks who have piled up this elixir. Like Mei Lingyun, relying on strength, there are very few who work hard little by little. Therefore, in the sect, Mei Lingyun is more important than ordinary Jiedan monks.
Speaking of this, Mei Lingyun was still a little proud.
However, Lu Yao just felt very sad. Lu Yao secretly made up his mind that he must work hard in the cultivation realm, he must earn a lot of spirit stones, he must let Mei Lingyun cultivate well without distractions, and he must let Mei Lingyun become a secret disciple, he is really an elder.
When she made this decision, Lu Yao didn't think that Mei Lingyun was a person who had no blood relationship with her, why, she was willing to do this for Mei Lingyun.
Lu Yao didn't expect that this wish would come true ahead of schedule in no time. However, after it was realized, Mei Lingyun fell into even greater pain. These are all afterwords, and now, Lu Yao is in his room, grooming and dressing.
A few days ago, Lu Yao accidentally mentioned that everything is good here, but when she can't freshen up, Mei Lingyun told her that in fact, there is a lot of water in the kettle in the room, and there is probably a pond so much. It's also a small magic weapon, it's not very precious, but it's not the water of the mortal world, it's the water of the cultivation realm is very ordinary, but it has more aura than the water of the mortal world.
If Lu Yao wants to take a bath, it's easy, call a puppet over, and the puppet will help her boil water, although this ordinary puppet can't use high-level spells, but it's no problem to boil water with ordinary fire.
Therefore, Lu Yao called the puppet over and boiled water to bathe her every day, and it was still a very comfortable thing for him to be refreshed and refreshing every day.
At this moment, Lu Yao dressed up, went out of the room door, went to Lu Yuan's room, helped Lu Yuan also dress up, and then took Lu Yuan to the deck.
On the deck, Mei Lingyun was already ready and said, "I will be in the sect in a while." Our flying boat landed in a quarter of an hour. ”
Lu Yao couldn't help but get a little excited.
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, the light outside the flying boat faded, and Lu Yao saw that the flying boat had stopped next to a gate.
This gate is very magnificent, the light is shining, huge, taller than any building Lu Yao has seen in his previous life, Lu Yao estimates that this archway-like mountain gate is a hundred stories high. The whole mountain gate is made of jade-like jade with a whole body of turquoise, and there are many beautiful patterns carved on it, which is really luxurious to the eye.
There are many white clouds around the mountain gate, and you can see through the mountain gate. In the distance, it was like what Lu Yao had seen in the movie in his previous life, countless suspended mountains and rivers were floating among the white clouds like islands, and the scene was really beautiful.
This is the place where he will live for a long time in the future, so beautiful, so magical, Lu Yao couldn't help laughing.
