In the Meizhou Branch, the difference between the inner disciples and the outer disciples is mainly in the allocation of resources. Resources refer to the teaching of teachers, the practice of exercises, the practice environment, etc.

There are two ways for inner disciples to practice, one is to practice with a teacher, and the other is to practice by themselves. The practice of apprenticeship is not to take the initiative to apprentice, but to have an inner sect elder who is willing to accept him. As for self-cultivation, there are two situations, one is that no one wants to accept disciples, so they have to practice alone. The other is that they are unwilling to apprentice to a teacher, so they practice alone.

Elder Qu brought Lin Man'er and the others to the Yingchun Palace, where there were more than a dozen inner sect elders waiting. Generally speaking, there will be one to three disciples under the inner elders. And the achievements of the disciples determine their treatment.

The selection of disciples is naturally based on the ranking, first of all, Lin Man'er. Elder Qu asked him to report his age, cultivation system, and other relevant information so that the elders could consider it.

Lin Man'er stood up and replied: "My name is Lin Man'er, I am fifteen years old this year, and I am ......" I was about to talk about the seven-system law cultivation, but thinking that it was not appropriate to expose it for the time being, I changed my words, "It's the little sword immortal." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the elders were stunned. Elder Jia, a fourth-grade sword immortal, reacted quickly and directly beckoned, "Are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”

Lin Man'er was just about to speak, when he heard another Elder Di of a fourth-grade sword immortal stop him: "Don't worry, I'm willing to accept you too." ”

The third Elder Chai of the Fourth Rank Spear Immortal was also moved, and asked, "Are you a magic sword cultivator or a pure sword cultivator?" ”

Lin Man'er looked at it and replied, "I'm a sword cultivator." ”

"Oh, it's good to cultivate the magic sword. Would you like to worship me as a teacher? ”

When Elder Jia heard this, he was a little upset. This Elder Di is the same sword cultivator as him, and it is reasonable to recruit him, but he can recruit a disciple with a spear cultivator. Snorted coldly: "Elder Chai, if I'm not mistaken, you're a gun cultivator. ”

Chai Jin didn't care and said: "Gun cultivation and sword cultivation are all combat cultivation, it's just that the weapons are different." Pointing at Lin Man'er, "If he is a pure sword cultivator, then he naturally can't learn it." But he is a sword cultivator, and he can still change it. ”

"Hmph, you're still a fourth-grade spear immortal, don't you know that changing halfway is a taboo in practice. You're burying his talent. Elder Di snorted coldly.

"Fifteen-year-old sword immortal, he still cares about what kind of cultivation taboo he is, so he can change it casually."

Seeing the three of them arguing, Elder Qu sighed and stopped, "Everyone, have you ever asked him what he thinks when you quarrel like this?" ”

When Elder Jia heard this, he began to sell melons, saying what kind of sword technique he practiced and what kind of achievements he had in the past. Elder Di and Elder Chai also talked about their advantages, of course, there was a lot of moisture.

Elder Qu looked at Lin Man'er and asked, "Which elder do you want to worship as your teacher?" ”

Lin Man'er touched her bald head and asked, "What would happen if I didn't worship?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the three competing elders snorted at the same time.

Elder Qu seemed to have guessed this result and explained, "It doesn't matter if you don't apprentice. You can choose to study on your own, and the institute will provide you with the corresponding exercises and the resources you need. ”

"Is it because the apprentice gives you more resources or does self-study give you more?" Lin Man'er looked extremely serious, as if this was what he cared about.

Elder Qu glanced at the three competing elders, and obviously their faces were not very good. He regretted it in his heart, so he should have told Lin Man'er this in advance. sighed at the moment and explained: "The disciple apprentices to the master, so naturally they have to give the master a part. If you choose to study on your own, it's all your own, but the path of cultivation is difficult, and it is difficult to advance without the guidance of a good teacher. ”

Lin Man'er heard that this was persuading him to choose apprenticeship, but he had the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique, and it seemed that he would make more money if he didn't apprentice. So, he chose to study on his own.

When Elder Jia heard this, he cultivated himself? Is this looking down on him? Just as he was about to say a few words, he heard Elder Di get angry and say, "Okay, this immortal wants to see how you cultivate yourself." After speaking, he swept away the other four, "Who of you are sword cultivators?" ”

Gong Liangzhuo used the sword as a crutch, propped up his body and replied: "The disciple is a sword cultivator. ”

Elder Di took a look, this virtue? It's just insulting himself, and he threw his sleeves and left on the spot. Elder Jia got up and said sarcastically when he passed by Gong Liangzhuo: "It's all like this, don't go to recuperate your injuries, you are really strong enough." After saying that, he walked away.

Elder Qu shook his head, looked at Ji Yunquan and said, "Tell me about your situation!" ”

"The disciple's name is Ji Yunquan, twenty-eight years old, and he chooses to study on his own."

As soon as the words fell, I saw Chai Jin clapping his hands and said, "Okay, very good." After saying that, he used his spear skills and left, as if he was deliberately showing off. The other Spear Immortal Elder sneered and left.

Elder Qu was a little embarrassed, he looked at Liang Wu and asked, "You don't want to cultivate yourself, do you?" ”

Liang Wu looked at Lin Man'er and seemed a little embarrassed. Lin Man'er smiled and said, "Of course you want to apprentice." Pointing at Ji Yunquan, "I have exercises with him, so I don't apprentice." ”

Liang Wu nodded gratefully and introduced: "The disciple's name is Liang Wu, thirty-three years old, a little knife immortal. ”

Among the elders, a five-rank sword immortal dressed in a garcinia cambogia robe got up and walked towards Liang Wu, and said with a smile: "The sword cultivation here is only one old man, you don't have a choice." ”

Liang Wu knelt down and bowed to his teacher, and then followed his teacher.

The fourth is Tang Qiao, who is a Fa Xiu himself, and the Meizhou Branch is mostly Fa Xiu, so there are as many as five who are willing to accept him. In the end, he chose Elder Tang, who had the same surname as him, to go.

As for Gong Liangzhuo, it was miserable, none of the more than a dozen elders were willing to accept him, so he could only choose to cultivate himself.

After that, all the elders left one after another, and Elder Qu took the three of them to the Hanmei Hall to select exercises.

Hanmei Hall is the place where the Meizhou branch collects exercises, which contains almost all the exercises of the cultivation system, and the exercises are graded from the yellow level to the heavenly level.

According to the rules of the Meizhou Branch, the inner disciples can only choose exercises below the ground level for the first time; For the first time, the core disciples could only choose exercises below the upper grade of the ground level; For the first time, the disciples can choose exercises below the heavenly level.

Although the disciples of the lineage have a master to teach the exercises, they are still taken care of, considering that the situation of each disciple is different. For example, the master is a two-line cultivator of wind and water, and the disciple is a two-line of water and wood, so at this time, a book of wood-based exercises is needed.

Elder Qu explained the rules and asked the three of them to pick by themselves.

The exercises of the Hanmei Hall are divided into major categories according to grades, and then divided into small categories by the cultivation system. The three of them selected exercises in the Xuan-rank area, and Gong Liangzhuo quickly picked out a Xuan-level superb sword technique.

Ji Yunquan hesitated for a while, and chose a book of Xuan-level superb spear skills. Because the Shuiyun Spear Immortal Lu that Dai Yunshu passed to him only has spear skills, not spear skills.

Lin Man'er had a headache. He is a seven-line Fa cultivator, and it stands to reason that he needs seven copies, but now he is only allowed to choose one, and it is difficult to choose for a while.

Elder Qu was a little curious: "You shouldn't lack sword cultivation techniques, right?" ”

Lin Man'er replied with a bitter face: "I don't lack sword cultivation techniques, but I lack others." ”

When Elder Qu heard this, he realized that Lin Man'er was lying before. So what else does he practice besides sword cultivation? Also, why did he lie? At the moment, he said tentatively: "What exercises do you need, I'll help you choose." ”

"Fa cultivator."

"The Seven Departments of Law Cultivation, which one do you need? I'll help you pick the best one. Elder Qu flickered.

"Either department does." As soon as I said this, I regretted it.

Sure enough, Elder Qu heard the meaning of his words and was shocked, "You are also a seven-line law cultivator? ”

Lin Man'er pretended not to hear it, picked one at random in the Xuan-level exercise area, and replied, "I picked it up." ”

Elder Qu looked at him with interest and asked, "Are you sure you've picked it well?" ”

"I'm sure."

"You picked the soul cultivator."

It's embarrassing now, Lin Man'er's brain is spinning rapidly, thinking about how to get through. Finally, he came up with an excuse.

"I've always wanted to learn soul cultivation, and now it's just right."

"Really? You've already chosen to study on your own, and next time you want to choose the exercises, it's going to be difficult. ”

"Can you pick it up next time?" Lin Man'er said a little excitedly.

"Of course you can, but you need to be picky."

"What conditions?"

"Reach the corresponding points."

"Points? You're not going to look for Umemaru again, are you? ”

"The two are not the same. In order to motivate disciples to practice, our college has developed a set of reward systems. It is mainly divided into three categories, one of which is to complete the corresponding division tasks; second, to get a ranking on the disciple list; Thirdly, to achieve certain achievements specified by the Academy. ”

Lin Man'er muttered in a low voice: "Then I'll rest assured." ”

The corners of Elder Qu's mouth twitched, and he wondered if he hadn't made it clear? But after thinking about it, since he deliberately concealed this matter, he must have his own troubles, so he didn't delve into it anymore.

After the three of them have selected the exercises, they need to copy them before they can take them away, and the copied exercises cannot be copied again. This is the protection done by the Meizhou Branch in order to prevent the large-scale leakage of the exercises.

After copying them, Elder Qu took them to the Golden Plum Hall again.

The Golden Plum Hall is the place where the Meizhou Branch collects divine weapons, and it also contains nine major cultivation systems. Like the exercises, the inner disciples can only choose one divine weapon below the ground level.

Gong Liangzhuo saw many divine weapons, his eyes flashed green, he really wanted to choose a heaven-level superb divine weapon, but unfortunately it was not possible now. After some selection, he chose a longsword of the highest grade in the Xuan Rank.

Ji Yunquan has a silver moon spear, and there is no shortage of divine soldiers. He approached Lin Man'er and whispered, "You can pick two, and I will give you the opportunity." ”

When Lin Man'er heard this, he smiled, the problem is that he is not lacking! He really can't even look down on the Xuan-level divine soldiers. I walked around and found that there were still clothes. Elder Qu asked, "Can I pick out a piece of clothing?" ”

"Of course you can, but below the ground level."

Ji Yunquan saw the treasure clothes of various standards, and thought to himself that he could pick one for Qi Meng! He said to Lin Man'er with some embarrassment: "I want to pick one and give it to Qi Meng." ”

Lin Man'er didn't care and said, "Oh, then you pick first!" ”

Ji Yunquan swept around, and finally picked a yellow wide-sleeved flowing immortal skirt that could resist part of the spiritual fire. Lin Man'er also took a fancy to a flowing immortal skirt, and was about to get it but found that his mourning sword had moved. He took out the mourning sword from his wrench, but saw that the mourning sword kept shaking, as if it was about to fly out.

Elder Zhong, who was in charge of guarding the Golden Plum Palace, let out a puzzled sound. At the same time, the Death Sword suddenly flew out and stopped as it approached a top-grade sword. The earth-level sword trembled with its scabbard, as if it was resisting something. The mourning sword stayed for a while, and seeing that the other party refused to leave the sheath, he directly inserted it and destroyed the sword. After that, he returned to Lin Man'er with the scabbard.

When everyone saw this scene, they were dumbfounded. Lin Man'er looked at Elder Qu and said with a bitter face: "This won't make me compensate, right?" ”

Elder Qu had never encountered such a thing, and just as he wanted to ask Elder Zhong, he saw that he suddenly disappeared in place, and then reappeared grabbing the Mourning Sword. However, an even more shocking scene occurred. The dignified elder of the Jinmei Hall of the Meizhou Branch was shocked back by a sword.

Elder Zhong glanced at his palm and said to himself, "How can this be. ”

Lin Man'er saw him snatching his sword, and hurriedly held the mourning sword in his palm.

Elder Zhong saw that Lin Man'er actually held the sword, and said in disbelief: "It didn't resist you? ”

"This is my sword, why does it resist me?"

Elder Zhong walked towards Lin Man'er step by step, Lin Man'er held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and it seemed that as long as Elder Zhong dared to grab it, he would dare to draw the sword. Seeing that the distance between the two sides was almost three feet, Elder Zhong stopped.

"I'm taking a step forward and you're going to draw your sword, right?"

"Hmm." Lin Man'er replied truthfully.

"How did you get this sword?"

"I dug it out of the stone."

"Gambling stones?"

"Hmm."

"No wonder. What is your name? ”

"Lin Man'er."

"Bow to whom?"

Elder Qu breathed a sigh of relief, took over the conversation, and replied, "Elder Zhong, he chose to cultivate on his own. ”

"Self-study? Didn't anyone take it? There was a sneer in Elder Zhong's tone, laughing at those stupid Sword Immortal Elders.

"That's not true, there are three elders who are willing to accept him, but he refuses."

"Good refusal, there's nothing to learn from those idiots." looked at Lin Man'er, "Are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”

"Are you also a sword cultivator?"

When Elder Qu heard this, he reprimanded: "Don't be rude, this is the only elder in our Meizhou branch who has reached the seventh rank with pure sword cultivation. ”

"But I'm a magic sword cultivator."

"It's okay, the sword chooses the good master, you still have a chance to turn back."

When Elder Qu heard the word "turn back", his expression was a little embarrassed. I had long heard that Elder Zhong was a typical pure sword fanatic. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name!

In fact, there is a chain of contempt in the circle of sword cultivation. The soul sword despises the array sword; The array sword despises the rune sword; Fu Jian despises magic swords, while pure swords despise all.

Lin Man'er hesitated, but still refused.

Elder Zhong's face was a little unbearable, and he scolded: "There is no cure for the fool, get out!" ”

Elder Qu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pulled Lin Man'er away.
