Wuluobao is located in the southeast of Zhaoguo, bordering Lan and Cheng, and can reach the edge of the Qixiang Continent by traveling more than 8,000 miles to the southeast, facing the Phantom Water Ocean.

Although Wu Luobao is known as one of the three major sects of Zhaoguo together with the Jihai Sect and the Four Elephants, it exceeds the other two sects by a lot in terms of the territory under its jurisdiction, the resources it has, or the number of disciples under its disciples, and its management mode of the sect is also very different from those two sects.

In terms of the way it is managed, it is more of a large town than a sect, except that all the inhabitants are called disciples.

Disciples are also divided into inner and outer disciples, and the same inner disciples mainly cultivate, and outer disciples are engaged in production and service.

However, the biggest difference with the other two sects is that the outer disciples have stronger independence and autonomy, not by the sect to arrange work uniformly, unified monthly salary, but according to their own interests and specialties to decide the industry to participate in, the income also comes entirely from production and sales, only need to pay a certain proportion of regular spiritual stones to the sect. If you use resources such as earth fire and other resources of the sect, you only need to pay a certain fee to the sect, and other materials needed for production can be purchased from other local disciples or from nearby cities.

This very free production environment makes the production of Wuluobao very vigorous.

There is only one restriction, that is, the management of the outer disciples is very strict, after all, as long as they become outer disciples, they can enjoy a lot of sect benefits, such as the opportunity to go to the Tibetan scripture building once a year to consult all kinds of literature and materials; once every two years to listen to the sect's preaching; in addition, they can also buy all kinds of materials and finished and semi-finished products of the sect at a large discount; the sect also arranges a fixed residence for them, and their spiritual energy is far more abundant than the outside world.

Therefore, the monks with average qualifications in the vicinity squeezed their heads to become outer disciples, but Wu Luobao also had a fixed process for recruiting outer disciples, not only to examine their cultivation, qualifications, and specialties, but also to strictly review the background of cultivation, and strictly prevent people with complex social relations from mixing in.

Compared with the selection of outer disciples, the inspection of inner disciples is much more relaxed, but the conditions are more stringent: check the bone age, as long as those who do not have a cultivation foundation are not more than fifteen years old; look at the spiritual roots, more than two spiritual roots; and test the background, as long as there are no people from other sects in the family. Of course, for people with excellent qualifications, all conditions can be relaxed, which is why Sun Lang was able to enter Wuluobao at the age of twenty-seven.

In addition, unlike the inner disciples of the Four Elephants, who are divided into ordinary disciples and personal disciples, all the inner disciples in Wuluobao have their own masters, and each disciple has only one master, while the master can have multiple disciples, who are mainly responsible for daily teaching, solving doubts, and guiding practice.

When a disciple is not selected, the sect will also forcibly arrange a master for him, once the master-apprentice relationship is determined, it cannot be changed, unless the disciple's cultivation realm is the same as that of the master, there will be a second chance to determine the master-apprentice relationship. After that, he became a brother and sister relationship with the previous master, which is the same as the rules of several sects.

Therefore, all the disciples in the foundation building period are the apprentices of the castle master and the elders, and the disciples in the qi refining period are all apprentices of the disciples in the foundation building period, except for a very few who have excellent qualifications or special relationships that are taken away by the monks of the foundation building period, so all the inner disciples in Wuluo Fort have a very close and harmonious relationship, which makes the sect more cohesive and the disciples have a greater sense of belonging.

There are five horizontal, five vertical and ten streets outside the Wuluobao Mountain Gate, all of which are places for the daily production and trading of outer disciples and other loose cultivators, not far from the door of the receiving place of the outer disciples outside the mountain gate, at this time is standing a middle-aged casual cultivator in his thirties, three short beards make the white and handsome appearance more vicissitudes, and what is more striking is that he is followed by a five-foot-long demon beast with pale yellow fur covered with black spots the size of copper coin eyes.

This person is Shi An, who came here three days ago and figured out the rules for recruiting disciples in Wu Luobao through various gossip in the market. After careful consideration, he thought that it would be best if he could directly enter the inner gate, he could directly contact Sun Lang, and he would have a better chance of destroying him, and at the same time, it would be easier to understand the history of Wu Luobao.

However, if you enter with the qualifications of the Five Spirit Roots, you will inevitably become a disciple of the castle master, which will be even more eye-catching. Although Sun Lang had only one side with him at the beginning, and after more than 20 years, he deliberately did not nourish his body, and let his appearance change with age, making it extremely unlikely that he would recognize himself after meeting Sun Lang, but once Sun Lang was wary of robbing himself of his star-like status and strictly guarding against himself, it would be difficult to start in the future. I want to enter as two spirit roots, but I don't have that means, the spirit blocking pill can only turn into a single water spirit root by itself, and the inner door will never leave its own.

After thinking about it, it is safer to enter the outer gate, although this move increases the difficulty of figuring out the history of Wuluobao, but it is easier to kill Sun Lang. So half an hour after swallowing the next Blocking Pill, he came to the receiving place of the outer disciples.

Stabilize your mood and step into the room.

"Name?" asked a gray-haired old Tsukiji monk without raising his eyelids, looking directly at the scroll in his hand.

"Zhao An. He avoided his surname and first name, Shi Yizhi, and even the word "Miao", and the name Miao Yizhi was afraid that the master of Xuanwu Hall Zhan would never forget it.

"Age?"

"Seventy-four years old. ”

"Identity?"

"Zhaoguo Zi County, Shandong 700 miles, Zhaojiazhuang, a loose cultivator. ”

This is what Shi Ancheng has investigated, Zhaojiazhuang in the seven hundred miles of Shandong Province in Zijun does exist, and there is indeed a seventy-year-old loose cultivator named Zhao An, who left the village seven or eight years ago and is missing.

"Come, let me see your cultivation and spiritual roots. The old man raised his cloudy eyes and glanced at Shi An, and ordered.

Shi An obediently handed out his right hand, and two old fingers rested on his wrist.

"Zhao An, seventy-four years old, Zhaoguo Zhaojiazhuang scattered cultivation," the old man said as he dotted on a jade black waist card, "The peak cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, single water spirit root." Hey, what a sea of qi, you don't have any disease, do you?"

Shi An pretended to smile bitterly and said: "Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, when I was building the foundation, I didn't know why the sea of qi suddenly became bigger, and because of this, I knew that I was afraid that there would be no hope of forming a pill in this life, so I stopped cultivating and came to Guibao to find a job, and when I had the opportunity to start a family again." ”

"Use your mental method to run for a week, and I will know your cultivation background. The old man continued.

Shi An also knew that he would use this trick for a long time, and he had specially bought a copy of the "Gathering Soul Heart Method" before, and memorized the tenth layer of the water spirit root in it, and used it to run for a week at this time.

"Hey, today is really an eye-opener, the sea of qi is terrifying, not to mention, the spiritual root is still so thick, but your mental method is really ridiculously poor, this is a pity for such a good qualification, it is no wonder that it takes fifty or sixty years to enter the foundation, if you can come to my castle sixty years ago, you should be accepted as an inner disciple, according to the cultivation of my fort's mental method, the sea of qi will not have this strange situation, it is estimated that it should be able to reach the late stage of foundation building now." If you have a good fate, you may be able to go there to infuse your aura, and it may not be impossible to become a monk of Jiedan. It's a pity, it's a pity......". The old man shook his head as he spoke, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

"Infusion of aura?become a knot monk?" Shi An was shocked when he heard this, what was going on, how could it sound so similar to his own cultivation method.

"Dare to ask Brother Dao, can you tell me about this spiritual infusion?" Shi An couldn't help but ask.

The old man glared, and said angrily: "You shouldn't inquire about this matter, if you ask more, get out of here!"

Shi Anxin was stunned, and hurriedly handed over two low-grade attribute spirit stones and said: "I'm talking too much, I hope you can forgive me." ”

The old man took advantage of the effort to retract his fingers and held the spirit stone in his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Well, I know how to be sophisticated, not bad." ”

"Specialty or hobby?" the old man smiled, and then asked programmatically.

"I like the art of refining weapons since I was a child, and I also know a little bit about fur, and I also want to find a related job in Guibao. Shi An replied respectfully.

The old man frowned slightly and said: "Now there are too many outer disciples and people outside the castle in the refining industry in my castle, most of them are doing some work such as picking ores, receiving customers, and making molds, I am afraid that low-level jobs are not easy to find, and the income is relatively low, but after all, you are a foundation building monk, as long as you are willing to fall in value, I can find a stupid job for you." ”

"I can do some work of refining intermediate materials, can I ask Daoist friends for guidance?"

"Is that true?" the old man squinted his eyes and looked at Shi An suspiciously.
