An introductory disciple, in the Cangjian Sect, can be regarded as a disciple in the true sense.

Zhou Fengzhi and the others were envious after they knew that Lin Fan and the others had become introductory disciples.

Lin Fan's strength has reached the fifth rank of layman, and it is naturally understandable to be able to become a beginner disciple.

But why can Bai Jingyun and Fang Jingqing become beginner disciples together?

This made Zhou Fengzhi and others extremely envious and jealous.

The person who came to pick up Lin Fan was a beginner disciple named Xu Minghao.

He is the strength of a fifth-grade layman, and when he treats Lin Fan and the three of them, he is quite polite.

"In Xia Xu Minghao, I am here to pick up the three of them and leave this place, and congratulate the three junior disciples on becoming introductory disciples." Xu Minghao looks vaguely twenty-five or sixteen years old.

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "There is Senior Brother Lao." ”

The three of them had already packed their things, and under the envious eyes of Zhou Fengzhi and others, they followed Xu Minghao and left this lonely peak.

The three of them walked behind Xu Minghao.

Lin Fan saw that this person was also quite polite, so he asked, "Senior Brother Xu, can you give us a brief introduction to the Cangjian Sect." ”

Before, they were all only outer disciples, and if they couldn't reach the fifth rank within a year, it would be difficult for them to enter the Cangjian Sect's mountain gate in the future.

Naturally, no one had ever introduced them to the affairs inside the Cangjian Sect's mountain gate.

When Xu Minghao heard this, he nodded and smiled: "The place where you stayed before was called Entering Dao Peak, which was used for cultivation for those of you who had just entered the mountain gate. ”

Lin Fan glanced at the peaks around the mountain gate and asked, "Senior Brother Xu, although there are many peaks in this mountain gate, it seems that it is not enough for the people of the Cangjian Sect to live, right?" ”

Xu Minghao laughed: "Our Cangjian Sect has thousands of disciples, and half of them are outer disciples, that is, people who live outside. ”

"The rest, nearly four hundred, are beginner disciples, and the real inner disciples, even plus the true disciples, are only a hundred."

He paused and said, "And for such a peak, only the masters, elders, and true disciples are qualified to have a mountain peak to live in. ”

"Others, on the other hand, are divided into three compounds."

"Upper, middle and lower courtyards."

Lin Fan showed a puzzled look on his face and asked, "The courtyard where you live is still divided into upper, middle and lower?" ”

Xu Minghao introduced: "That's right, this upper courtyard is the place where the inner disciples live, called Shangshan Yuan. ”

"And among our beginner disciples, there are about more than 300 people in the middle courtyard, which is called Cangji Academy."

"The place where I led the three of you this time is the lower courtyard and the outer courtyard."

Bai Jingyun was behind and asked, "Hey, why are there more people in the middle courtyard than in the lower courtyard?" ”

Xu Minghao: "This is what you don't know, although the Cangjian Sect accepts apprentices from the outside world, but in fact, the requirements are strict, and you should also experience it." ”

"Every five years, there are only about a dozen people recruited each time."

Xu Minghao's words happened to hit the right place where Lin Fan was puzzled.

You must know that not counting the outer disciples, there are more than 500 people in the Cangjian Sect's mountain gate.

Only a small group of them are recruited every five years, where did those 500 people come from?

Xu Minghao said: "The more than 300 disciples of Cangji Academy, all of whom were from three to five years old, were taken back to the mountain gate by the Cangjian Sect and cultivated since childhood. ”

Hearing this, Lin Fan suddenly got up.

That's right, I'm afraid it's not just the Cangjian Sect, but also the other large sects, I'm afraid they're all doing this.

If you want to develop a large number of your own disciples, it is simply impossible to rely on this way.

Moreover, the loyalty of the people recruited from outside the sect is far less than that of those disciples who have been cultivated since childhood.

To put it simply, those disciples who have been cultivated since childhood and live in the Cangji Courtyard are the real elites and their own people of the Cangjian Sect.

Lin Fan asked suspiciously: "In that case, why does the Cangjian Sect want to recruit people from outside?" There's no need for that. ”

Hearing Lin Fan's question, Xu Minghao smiled dryly, but did not answer.

Looking at Xu Minghao's smile, Lin Fan felt strange in his heart, but he felt that there might be something greasy in it.

The Cangwai Courtyard is located in the Cangjian Sect Mountain Gate, a large piece of building.

Even in the Cangjian Sect Mountain Gate, a high wall was built separately, which had the feeling of a separate courtyard.

Xu Minghao led the three of them to the door of the Cangwai Courtyard.

The gate of the outer courtyard of Cang, four meters high, has been painted with red paint.

Xu Minghao pushed the door, and the door slowly opened.

Cangwai Courtyard is quite a bit of an ancient time, with three entrances and three exits.

Xu Minghao walked in front and led the three of them inside.

Along the way, the situation of the Cangwai Courtyard was introduced.

Like what each place does.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a rather large martial arts training ground, which is used for the morning practice of the disciples in the courtyard, and in the back, there are rooms, but it is a room for two people, and the treatment is not as good as the environment of the three of them when they enter the Dao Peak.

Along the way, many people greeted Xu Minghao, and then looked at Lin Fan and the three of them curiously.

None of these people are too young, most of them are in their thirties and forties.

Xu Minghao whispered: "We don't have too many rules in the Cangwai Courtyard, but the Cangjian Sect that has joined by loose cultivators like you and me, there is no one behind them, those children of small families are okay, people from the five great families, you can't easily provoke." ”

"And there are three people in particular, you must not mess with."

"Three?" Lin Fan and the three of them looked over.

Xu Minghao nodded: "The first one you should know is that Mo Chen, who is in the same batch as you, is a disciple of the Mo family of the great family, and he is even more talented, provoking him, I am afraid that you will lose your qualification to stay in the Cangjian Sect as a disciple." ”

The three of them nodded.

"The second person, named Miao Xin, is over forty years old, the strength of a seven-grade layman, a member of the Miao family, and now he is also the steward of our Cangwai Courtyard, responsible for everything in the Cangwai Courtyard."

When Lin Fan heard this, he was speechless.

Come on, don't say anything, just this Miao family, anyway, I have already offended.

If the Miao family knew that they had come to the Cangjian Sect, would they still be able to find a way to kill themselves?

Although they didn't know that Miao Zhen was killed by themselves, they also thought that Miao Zhen's death had something to do with them.

Lin Fan asked in a deep voice, "What about the third one?" ”

Xu Minghao said: "The third guy is called Ye Feng, he is a monster, he was also a loose cultivator who joined the Cangjian Sect, and he joined the Cangjian Sect with me five years ago. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Minghao's face turned slightly pale, and he said: "When he was only fifteen years old, he was already a seventh-grade layman, and now, he has been a seventh-grade layman for five years!" Some people even say that he is the first person in Jiangnan Province to be a seven-grade layman. ”

The first person in Jiangnan Province to be a seven-grade layman?

Lin Fan looked at Xu Minghao with a little surprise, this first person of the Seven Rank Layman, his name is really big enough.

However, at the age of fifteen, he became a seven-rank layman, which is indeed terrifying.
