Farther away, a dark red lava river meanders toward the sea.

The flying boat landed outside the city, the city does not even have a city wall, only a tall and majestic archway stands at the entrance of the city, with four big characters written on it - Flowing Flame Golden City.

"Golden City? What a big breath! One of the monks in Chinese clothes, who had obviously never been here, couldn't help but sneer.

An old man next to him hurriedly scolded: "What nonsense? This place is rich in all kinds of metals, which is not called Jincheng? ”

Zhao Feng came to the city with the flow of people, as soon as he entered the city, he smelled the smell of smoke, and the most on both sides of the avenue were all kinds of iron shops and spirit shops, and the sound of striking iron was endless.

"Uncle, do you want someone to lead the way?" Before he took two steps, Zhao Feng was stopped by a few people dressed as idlers.

Zhao Feng knew that he had come into the city to look around, obviously he had never been here, and he had fallen into the eyes of these idlers.

"What's the price?"

Several idlers scrambled to introduce themselves, and Zhao Feng chose to choose around, found someone who seemed to be more loyal, and threw him a gold coin.

When the gold coins arrived, the idler immediately entered the role: "Uncle, what do you want to know, the small one tries to say, and the small one doesn't know, so I will take you to the place where you ask about things, do you see it?" ”

Zhao Feng nodded and said, "I just want to know, are there any conditions for joining the Flowing Flame Valley?" ”

This idler obviously came prepared and said: "Uncle, you asked, next month, when the Flowing Flame Valley recruits disciples, you are wise and martial, you think you can get started in one fell swoop, I heard that this year's entry threshold is the same as in previous years, as long as the three-grade spiritual source can get started!" ”

Bihai Lingzhou is different from the five eastern continents, the monks here still have some standards for the evaluation of the spiritual source, the lowest grade, the higher the grade, the more favored by the sect. The most important thing in the evaluation of this grade is the potential and purity of the spiritual source, generally speaking, the purer the spiritual source, the higher the grade. It's a pity that most of the monks in this world are in the first grade and second grade, like this Flowing Flame Valley, you must have a third-grade spiritual source to get started, and some big factions have raised the threshold to a fourth-grade spiritual source, as for the fifth-grade spiritual source, the sect can be selected, if there is a six-grade spiritual source, I am afraid that those major sects will compete for one or two. In fact, these sects in Flowing Flame Valley, in addition to their qualifications, also attach great importance to their origins, and it is difficult for people of unknown origin to be admitted as official disciples by them.

"Is there any other way than this?"

The idler was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not nothing, it's just that there are some methods that don't go into the right stream, such as foreign affairs disciples and general affairs disciples, and they can also learn the art of alchemy, but, it's just-"

"Just what?"

"It's just that the inheritance of the sect is not taught, what is taught is the inheritance of some big roads, or the inheritance of small sects."

After listening to this, Zhao Feng understood, feelings, this Liuyan Valley also recruits stewards and thugs, of course, this treatment is different from that of formal disciples.

After Zhao Feng asked the idler to lead him to an inn, he began to think. He is now in his twenties, and his cultivation has also reached the realm of Linghai, if he goes to compete with those children who are a few years old and teenagers to compete for entry qualifications, it is obviously impossible, not to mention anything else, age is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, and his own way of origin is by no means as knowledgeable as the people of his own country, it seems that it is the right way to take the second path.

At night, Zhao Feng stood at the window and looked out, sure enough, there were people coming and going, many of them were teenage boys and girls, and what was even more surprising was that many young people were actually carrying hammers, obviously the casting technique already had a foundation, seeing this, Zhao Feng understood that he took the road of recruiting disciples, hanging!

The next day, Zhao Feng followed the idlers all the way to the main hall set up in the city in the Flowing Flame Valley.

Liuyan Valley has set up six halls here, four of which are for buying and selling spiritual weapons and spiritual materials, one is for receiving VIPs, and the other is for recruiting disciples, and there is a sign hanging at the door of the hall - Bafang Jixian Pavilion.

Zhao Feng stepped into the pavilion, this place is now bustling, there is an iron table in front of the hall door, and the front is crowded with young people from all over the world, they are all waiting to test the grade of the spiritual source, and the east side of the hall is the place of inspection. Zhao Feng looked around, and there was a table in the southwest corner of the main hall, on which a sign was placed - recruiting foreign affairs disciples.

Walking forward, he saw an old monk of the Linghai Realm with a goatee behind the table, who was sleeping on the table, and the hustle and bustle outside did not affect him in the slightest.

Zhao Feng knocked on the table and said, "This fellow Daoist is invited!" ”

The old monk woke up, glanced at Zhao Feng sleepily, stretched his waist, and asked Zhao Feng about his intentions slowly.

"Daoist friend is joking, your qualifications are official disciples, you deserve it!" After asking about Zhao Feng's situation, the old monk's orange-skinned face gave a rare smile.

Zhao Feng said helplessly: "I came from the Eastern Five Continents, because I was framed by gangsters, I came here, this has nothing to do with my wealth, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with it." ”

The old monk stroked his sparse goatee and asked slowly: "Here, it's Bihai Lingzhou, you just need to be loyal to the Flowing Flame Valley, as for the Eastern Five Continents, thousands of miles away, what's the matter, it has nothing to do with us, right?" Hehehehehe. ”

"So, can you choose this official disciple?"

"It's all right, but you have to test this spiritual source first."

Of course Zhao Feng would not object to becoming an official disciple, this old monk saw that Zhao Feng had no opinion, stood up, walked slowly to the depths of the main hall, and said as he walked: "Your cultivation, ordinary spiritual weapons, can't detect anything good or bad, let's come to the apse." ”

Follow the old monk slowly to the apse, this place is indeed much cleaner, the apse also has a spiritual weapon to test the spiritual source, this spiritual weapon is much bigger than the one outside.

"Didn't you ask Daoyou?"

The old monk glanced at him before he said, "You just call me a Taoist of leisure, go up." ”

Zhao Feng stood in front of the spirit weapon, and it took a long time to hear the idle Taoist say, "Bear with it!" ”

After speaking, he saw a seven-colored light enveloping him, and Zhao Feng felt as if he couldn't hide anything in his body.

After a long time, the seven-colored light disappeared, and the Qingxian Daoist glanced at Zhao Feng with strange eyes, chuckled, and said: "Seeing that your cultivation is not weak, this qualification is so-so, it is really not easy to practice to this point, it is really not easy!" ”

Zhao Feng was just about to explain a few words, when he heard the idle Taoist say: "It's a pity! ”

"Fellow Daoist, how do you say this?"

"Your age, you can practice to the realm of Linghai, how can you also be on the third grade, or the fourth grade, but your qualifications are only three grades, barely enough qualifications, in the past two years, there are a lot of good seedlings in our mountain gate, your qualifications are not necessarily qualified, plus the age is too old, formal disciple, I think, don't think about it, in view of your cultivation is not bad, it is still okay to be a Dharma protector deacon or a general deacon."

"Deacon, Dharma Protector?"

"Yes, although you can't learn the refining method passed down by your own family, you can still learn the general refining method."

"Fellow Daoist, I don't know what the difference is between the two?"

"Deacons, divided into three categories: general affairs, Dharma protectors, and foreign affairs, general affairs and foreign affairs deacons are more mundane things, and it takes half a year to deal with some mundane things, and the other half a year can be cultivated on their own, and the Dharma Protector Deacon is not bad, that is, he is responsible for guarding, and he is also a half-year guard, and he cultivates on his own for half a year, what do you see?"

Zhao Feng saw this idle Taoist speak, and didn't want to elaborate, guessing that this monk who was only afraid that his path had been broken, and if he wanted him to spit out, he was afraid that he would have some blood.

There was no way, Zhao Feng took out a piece of colorful ore, this is a treasure obtained from Lei Yuan, Zhao Feng only has such a piece, although he doesn't know this kind of ore, but he knows that it is extraordinary when he looks at it like this.

"Fellow Daoist, when you first came here, be careful, and ask Daoist friends to smile!"

The idle Taoist twisted his sparse beard with one hand, took the ore with the other, took it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Daoist friends are generous, five-color condensation of real iron, good treasures, good treasures." ”

Zhao Feng couldn't help but burst out in his heart, he had heard of this thing, but he didn't match the number, and said secretly: "It's a loss, it's a loss, this thing is worthy of a second-order spiritual weapon, even a third-order spiritual weapon can be used as an accessory." ”

However, there was still a smile on his face: "A good treasure depends on whose hands it is, this thing is a waste in my hands, and only a master like you can use it!" ”

The old face of the idle Taoist orange peel raised and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

After a long while, the Qingxian Daoist put the things into his arms, and then said leisurely: "Since you are so on the Tao, the old man will give you some pointers, you are practicing positive exercises, right?" Nowadays, it is very rare to practice positive exercises, whether it is refining tools or practicing the law, the positive exercises are not bad, since you want to get started, the old man will give up this old face, give you a place, just be a Dharma protector deacon, although this Dharma protector deacon wants to fight and kill, in fact, it may not be encountered once in a few years, usually in general, it is there to patrol the mountains or guard the important places, and there is plenty of time, how? ”

Zhao Feng thought for a long time, this time he just wanted to find a pure place to cultivate, if he was busy with general affairs all day long, he was afraid that there would not be enough time for cultivation.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Feng agreed.

"Okay, okay, okay, let's go through the formalities, shall we?" This idle Taoist actually gave Zhao Feng the jade plate of the Dharma Protector Deacon on the spot.

When Zhao Feng turned to leave, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Fellow Daoist, aren't you worried that I'm sent by another faction?" ”

"Hehehe." Qingxian Daoist sneered, and said with his hands behind his back: "If you really have a different heart, your soul has been annihilated just now, the seven-colored spiritual light of this sect is also called Ming Spiritual Light, you have lost your mind for a while just now, that is to explore your true heart, if you have a different heart for this sect, hum hum!" ”
