Although Lu Jing was decades younger than him in terms of age, for the identity of a monk of Tianxing Valley, his qualifications for starting first were there, and naturally his understanding of the sect and his familiarity with affairs large and small were far beyond Shen Tong's comparison. Listening to Lu Jing's question, Shen Tong smiled, and then asked, "What is Senior Brother Lu's opinion?"

Lu Jing looked left and right, then cautiously lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother Li, I think that the sect recruits so many people, but it is just to provide enough labor and errands for high-level cultivators. ”

Shen Tong couldn't help but look at this kid dumbfounded, with a look of surprise and inexplicability, this kid looks very clever, why is there such a weird idea in his head, I really don't know which master taught the apprentice, and he is so sharp.

Lu Jing continued to babble and said, "Senior Brother Li, have you seen the methods of the foundation building period monks?"

Shen Tong shook his head and said, "That's not true, but when I met the family teacher, its huge spiritual pressure really made me feel breathless, thinking about its amazing magical powers, it was really far from what we Qi cultivation disciples could imagine." ”

Lu Jing said: "That's natural, Wei Shi Bo is a monk in the late stage of foundation building, and his supernatural cultivation is even better. In fact, not to mention Master Wei, even if it is an ordinary foundation building period monk, it is far from being comparable to the disciples of the Qi cultivation period, whether it is the operation of spiritual power or the depth of mana, it is several times that of the Qi training period, and the condensation of its divine sense is even more amazing, generally speaking, a foundation building period monk is enough to kill more than a dozen Qi cultivation period monks without any effort, and the difference between them can be imagined. ”

Shen Tong nodded when he heard this, he immediately thought of that ugly Taoist priest, but that guy had a strange spirit root, and he just barely escaped with the advantage of speed, and if he really wanted to face the enemy head-on, he didn't know how many times he would die.

At this time, Lu Jing whispered: "However, the monks of the foundation building period are almost invincible in front of the monks of the Qi cultivation period, but in front of the monks of the Jindan stage, they are actually not much better than us!"

Shen Tongxin was taken aback, and asked with a wry smile, "Senior Brother Lu has seen a Jindan period monk cast a spell?"

Lu Jing shook his head and said, "That's not true, but when my master faced his ancestor, he didn't even dare to take a breather, so naturally he didn't need to think about it to know." ”

Shen Tong just smiled bitterly, but it was Youxuan, who had no scruples in his consciousness, laughed and said, "Li Xiaoyou, this Lu boy is really a wonderful person, it's really interesting." For his words, Shen Tong has no choice but to ignore its existence.

Lu Jing continued: "From this, it is conceivable that those old ancestors of the Jindan stage will not be able to make a few moves in front of the monks of the Divine Infant Stage. Since the difference in strength is so obvious, why are those Divine Infant Stage monks willing to spend time and effort to shelter those Jindan Stage Monks? Isn't it just to have a few more people who listen to him, help him collect materials and intelligence, and do some errands for him, so that he can concentrate on his cultivation. ”

Looking at the surprised expression on Shen Tong's face, Lu Jing continued: "After all, the Jindan period monks have limited manpower, so naturally they can't be comprehensive in everything, so naturally they need to find some foundation building stage monks to help. Pushed down like this, the subordinates of the monks in the foundation building period are naturally the monks in the qi training period. To be honest, the so-called joining the sect is just a matter of laborious and errands for the high-level monks, and what you get is just some things that are basically useless to the high-level monks. ”

Shen Tong couldn't help but say: "Senior Brother Lu, I'm afraid your idea is a little biased, joining the sect and fulfilling the responsibility for the sect is everyone's obligation, where is it so snobbish as you said? Don't forget, in addition to the sect, how difficult it is for ordinary casual cultivators to build a foundation and succeed." The sect is not like a family, in the absence of blood and kinship, if you are willing to spend resources and materials to cultivate you, you will naturally ask for some returns. ”

Seeing that Shen Tong didn't seem to agree with his opinion, Lu Jing said: "Senior Brother Li didn't understand the difficulty of the sect's task, so he would have such an idea. Just like what Senior Brother just said, why don't we choose some safer sect tasks, it's really that Senior Brother doesn't know the details of sect missions, so he asks this question!"

Shen Tong couldn't help but look at it and asked, "I still hope that Senior Brother Lu will advise." ”

Lu Jing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Where can I talk about advice, after the senior brother enters the sect, he will naturally know, I just told you in advance." After speaking, he said: "Generally speaking, the mission of the sect is divided into two types, one is like the task outside the sect that the younger brother received before, which is basically the task of collecting materials or exploring the enemy's situation, this kind of task is often extremely risky, and the place where you want to go is also very dangerous, however, as long as your cultivation is strong enough, the reward after completing it is also very rich, and after completing the task, you don't need to perform the task again within a year, and you can have a lot of time to retreat and practice or travel." The other is to take on tasks such as duty like the two brothers before, which is not risky, but it takes a long time, and most of the year needs to be wasted on tasks. Senior brother, do you think that although it is extremely dangerous to carry out such a task, how can you improve your cultivation in the long run? What is the difference between watching time pass and stagnation in your cultivation and waiting for death?"

"There are still so many troubles!" Shen Tong couldn't help but say in surprise.

Lu Jing nodded and said: "In addition to these two, there is also a task designated by the elders of the Deacon Pavilion, but for that kind of designated task, the general reward is also very rich, and it is understandable, compared to these two types of tasks, it is much kinder." Senior brother now knows what I said, joining the sect is just doing hard labor for a high-ranking monk, right?"

Shen Tong chuckled and said, "Although what Senior Brother Lu said is not unreasonable, it is also a little inappropriate. The so-called wealth and danger are sought, where in the world can there be only good deeds that are not paid in return? In the family, the remuneration must be distributed according to the pay, not to mention the sect, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, which makes all the monks rush to it, otherwise, how can the three major factions stand on this, and become stronger and deeper. ”

Lu Jing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Regardless of him, anyway, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think about it, or to work hard to improve one's cultivation is the most important thing." ”

Shen Tong nodded and said, "Senior Brother Lu can think like this, naturally it is the best. ”

Before they knew it, they had stepped out of the long stone staircase and stepped on the flat ground. In all directions, the endless mountain peaks were like a city wall, surrounding the huge valley in front of them. In the valley, like a bustling downtown in general, there are all kinds of low buildings of different heights, carved beams and painted buildings, which are extremely exquisite. There are also streams and bamboo forests in between, outlining the front like a delicate landscape painting, delicate and colorful, rich and colorful.

From a distance, Shen Tong even saw that in the most surrounding place outside, many monks wearing monks' robes were sitting on the ground, with various things placed in front of them, as if they were setting up stalls in the market to sell goods, which was very lively.

Lu Jingshen looked a little surprised, and couldn't help but say: "Senior Brother Li, this is Zongmenfang City, we Qi cultivation stage disciples only need to pay a spirit stone, and we can sell some things that we don't need here, which is very convenient." Even if there are enough spirit stones, you can also buy some pills to enhance your cultivation, but it is really one of the places that we Qi cultivation disciples love the most. Immediately, he grinned and said, "It's just that things like pills are really outrageously expensive, and they really can't be afforded by us ordinary disciples." ”

Shen Tong smiled noncommittally, he didn't care about it, for him, there was that mysterious little bead here, which was much more effective than any pill, and there was really no need to make trouble in this regard.

Passing through the bustling market, you can vaguely see the mountains that reach into the sky in the distance and the buildings built in various dangerous places.

"Let's go, Senior Brother Li, I'll take you to Tianxuan Peak to get the things you got to the entrance first, and in the future, you will slowly become familiar with these places. With that, he took the lead towards a distant mountain on one side.
