Chapter 437: Nine Peaks and Thirty-six Courtyards
Three days later, Senior Brother Lu Long came to the compound and informed everyone that the recruitment of new disciples was over, and they went to gather in front of the hall where Mao Rui and the others had been treated.
In three days, a third group of early admitteds moved into the compound. Each of the three batches of people was ten people, the first batch was Mao Rui and the other ten people, all of whom were male disciples; in the second batch where Luo Chengji was located, there were three female disciples; in the third batch, there were more female disciples, and there were only two male disciples.
Since the three female disciples in the second batch were not particularly outstanding in appearance, Shang Ran and they knew Luo Chengji because of Mao Rui's relationship, and they didn't say a few words to the other nine people in the second batch.
The situation was different when the third group of people arrived, Shang Ran and they were more enthusiastic than the other, and before a quarter of an hour later, the level of understanding of the third group of people even exceeded that of the good brothers who were also in the first batch. Of course, the two male cultivators in the third batch were not treated so well...
Mao Rui sat on the threshold and looked at Shang Ran and the others, and shook his head, it's good to be young. Silently lit a cigarette and smoked alone, I haven't smoked since I was resurrected, this is the first one.
After meeting once and visiting the Earth Sect overnight, Senior Brother Lu Long and Mao Rui and the others were naturally closer, and they walked side by side at the forefront, and the second and third groups of people who came to the compound just followed.
On the way to the main hall, Senior Brother Lu Long told everyone that counting the thirty people in the compound, a total of four hundred and thirty-seven new disciples had been recruited this time.
Senior Brother Lu Long also said that the time for the Earth Sect to recruit disciples varies, the last time it recruited people was three years ago, and the last time it was ten years ago. Due to the unclear timing, the number of new disciples recruited each time also varies greatly, and there is no pattern to follow. Senior Brother Lu Long guessed on his own that the number of people should be decided according to the mood of the elders in charge of recruiting.
The thirty newcomers were all speechless at that time, and they decided according to their moods, but they were really capricious enough, and they deserved to be the first sect on the land of the earth.
As if he had seen through everyone's thoughts, Senior Brother Lu Long said with a smile: "This method of recruiting people has been around for a long time, and it existed before it became the first sect of the land of the earth, and it existed before it was renamed the earth sect. ”
When the small sect was like this, it was really capricious enough.
When they came to the open space in front of the main hall, the four hundred and seven newly promoted disciples stood in two groups, the group close to the main hall was a little smaller, only a hundred people, and the other group of more than three hundred people stood in the back.
When visiting the Earth Sect overnight, Senior Brother Lu Long told Mao Rui and them about the internal pattern of the Earth Sect. There are two kinds of disciples of the Earth Sect, one is the peak disciple with a higher status, and the other is the disciple of the courtyard with a lower status, which is the so-called inner door and outer door in popular terms.
There are nine peaks and thirty-six courtyards in the earth sect, representing forty-five different inheritances of the earth sect, each peak and each courtyard is independent, and there is no subordinate relationship between the mountain peak and the courtyard, and some are competitive.
A certain courtyard is stronger than a mountain, and after being recognized, it can replace that mountain, and the positions of the two sides are exchanged, and the people of the courtyard move to the nine peaks with the strongest aura.
However, it is not common for mountains and courtyards to be swapped as a whole, and it is said that the last time the courtyards and peaks were swapped was 300 years ago.
Lu Long led everyone to the front, closer to the position of the main hall than more than a hundred people, and said that the sect master and the others would come out soon to hold the entrance ceremony, and left this place.
"Gao Shou and Gao Yuan are there, and it seems that they have become disciples of the peak. While waiting, Luo Chengji found the location of the Gao brothers in the crowd and informed Mao Rui.
Following Luo Chengji's guidance and seeing the two of them, Mao Rui waved at them, and the two also nodded.
"One hundred people are the disciples of the peak, and three hundred are the disciples of the courtyard, what are the thirty of us?" asked Mao Rui.
Except for Luo Chengji who heard about Mao Rui, the second and third batches of nineteen people have not been very clear about the difference between the disciples on the peak and the disciples in the courtyard, so they naturally can't answer Mao Rui's questions.
"It's also a disciple of the peak, because of the reason for being admitted early, the treatment at the beginning was better than those hundred people, as for whether we can continue to get better treatment than them in the future, it's up to us. Shang Ran said, this guy knows more than others, and there are familiar old disciples in the Earth Sect.
"Among the nine peaks, Qitian Peak is the main peak, and the disciples in it are all cultivated as future sect masters, and the entry conditions are harsh, basically recruiting excellent disciples from other peaks, and it is unlikely that we newcomers will enter. ”
"Xuanyue Peak is the place that all the male cultivators of the Earth Sect yearn for, and it is full of female cultivators, and their appearance is extraordinary. ”
"The True Martial Peak is full of physical cultivation, and seven of our ten individual cultivators should all enter the True Martial Peak. ”
Mao Rui waited quietly for a while, saw that Shang Ran was silent, and asked, "What about the other six peaks?"
"I don't know. Shang Ran replied bluntly.
Mao Rui's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything in the end, he thought Shang Ran was a reliable guy...
The main peak is unavoidable, Xuanyue Peak is full of beautiful women cultivating, and Zhenwu Peak is very likely to be his destination, so Shang Ran has some understanding of these three peaks, as for the other six peaks, Shang Ran is afraid that the name of the peak is not known, let alone the direction of the main cultivation.
After a while, Weikong and other high-level sects appeared in front of everyone, and the sect leader Wei Kong said a few words, and immediately began to hold a ceremony to enter the sect and meet the ancestors of the sect.
After the initiation ceremony, the distribution of each belonging began. Regarding the new disciples with good qualifications, the peak masters and the deans naturally had a fierce competition.
Wei Kong, the sect master and peak master of Qitian Peak, did not participate in it, and it was only when several peak masters could not come to a conclusion for one person that Wei Kong would speak out and make a decision.
Mao Rui also knew the names of the nine peaks and the direction of cultivation in the process.
Qitian Peak, Xuanyue Peak, and Zhenwu Peak are similar to Shang Ran.
The rest of the peaks are the Vientiane Peak, which is dominated by formations, the Alchemy Peak, the Alchemy Peak, the Five Elements Peak, which is based on formal techniques, the Lingmiao Peak, which is good at alchemy, and the Killing God Peak, which is a major in demon gate exercises.
Well?
The peak disciples who were assigned first, so there were also several peak masters who were currently fighting, and the deans were not involved. But Mao Rui counted back and forth, and counting the sect master Wei Kong, there were eight peak masters.
Didn't you say that there are nine peaks?
Looking among the high-level members of the sect, Mao Rui did not find the last peak master, mainly because there is no difference between the clothes of the peak master and the dean, and many high-level officials dress according to their preferences, just like the peak master of Xuanyue Peak wearing a long white skirt, he did not wear the clothes of the sect at all, and it was really difficult to distinguish the identity.
"It can't be that the Ninth Peak Peak Master didn't come because of something, right? It is related to the strength of their respective peaks, why do you have to send a representative figure, those with good qualifications have been selected, and there are some leftovers left by others, isn't it a great loss?" Mao Rui thought to himself.
Mao Rui was even more conjecturing that the last summit would not be dominated by talismans, after all, there were formations, alchemy, and refining tools, and talismans were also not small branches, and it should not be difficult to rank among the nine peaks.
The disciples on the peak were selected by the peak masters, and as Shang Ran expected, the six physical cultivators who had besieged Mao Rui all joined Zhenwu Peak, and seven of the eight female cultivators in the third batch entered Xuanyue Peak.
Luo Chengji went to Lingmiao Peak, but he didn't see that he still had alchemy talent, and the Gao brothers went to the Five Elements Peak, which had the largest number of people.
Mao Rui was thinking about which peak he should go to, not mentioning the unknown ninth peak, according to Shang Ran, the possibility of Qitian Peak was not likely to be ruled out for the time being.
Five Elements Peak doesn't have to think about it, it's not a place where he, a guy with no meridians, should go, Killing God Peak is quite domineering when he hears the name, but he has enough exercises on his body, and it is not very suitable for cultivating demons.
Xuanyue Peak only accepts female cultivators, Mao Rui wants to go, and people don't want it.
The five peaks were excluded, and among the remaining four peaks, Zhenwu Peak, Vientiane Peak, and Alchemy Peak, to be honest, these three peaks didn't matter to Mao Rui, his attainments in refining bodies, formations, and refining weapons were not low.
Ling Miaofeng can also accept it, although Mao Rui can't do alchemy, he can learn it, maybe he is an undiscovered alchemy genius.
I did try alchemy before, but either the Dan furnace blew up or a pile of ash was refined. But it's not that there is no one to guide a person to tinker around, and with a famous teacher to teach, the result will be different.
"It's decided, let's go to Lingmiao Peak, I don't know which far-sighted peak master will choose me, if it's not Lingmiao Peak, is there a problem to ask for a replacement?" It should be no problem, no matter what I say, I was also admitted in advance. ’
Mao Rui, who yearns for alchemy and is fantasizing about beauty, suddenly finds that there is no one around him, and everyone else who was admitted in advance has been selected. Turning his head, he saw that there were more than three hundred disciples who had joined the courtyard, and there was a large distance in the middle, and there were no one hundred disciples on the peak.
Mao Rui blinked vigorously, didn't he just leave for a while, why was he left with a disciple on the peak? Was he already selected by the peak master, because he didn't hear it? Or was he left with not being chosen by the peak master?
Either way, it's embarrassing.
"Mao Rui. Weikong screamed.
"The disciple is here. Mao Rui replied respectfully, but he was muttering in his heart, the sect master spoke, wouldn't it be to let himself join Qitian Peak?
"After several peak masters discussed, it was finally decided that you would become a disciple of the Magnificent Peak. Wei Kong said solemnly.
"Rosewood Peak?" Mao Rui was stunned and asked, "Major or what?"
"A mountain that definitely suits you. Weikong said.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Mao Rui always felt that Wei Kong was a little strange when he said this.
The other disciples had a lot of shock in their hearts, not shocked to join the Rosewood Peak with Mao Rui, these new disciples didn't know the status of the Rosewood Peak in the Earth Sect. What shocked them was the attitude of the higher-ups towards Mao Rui, the only disciple who needed all the higher-ups to get together and discuss for a long time before deciding who to belong.
Without waiting for Mao Rui to continue to ask about the Rose Peak, a man who looked very gentle appeared in front of him, and said with a smile: "I am the peak master of the Rose Peak, Mu Yu, there is nothing to do here, let's go back to the Rose Peak." ”
Now that the peak masters have come to his side, Mao Rui is too embarrassed to give people face when he is putting forward his opinions at this time, so he has to go to Rosewood Peak to have a look before making plans.
