The power of the spirit master is divided into three types: the academy, the sect and the family, of which the academy has the weakest influence, but it is the most free in the academy, and the sect and the family have many requirements for the spirit master, and the difference between the two is that the core figures of the family power are all served by people of the same clan.

In the troubled era of the Shengshi Alliance, there is obviously no academy power, and the Qingyang Sect obviously belongs to the sectarian forces among them.

Qingyang Sect is located in the southwest center of the Shengshi Alliance, and it is not easy to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers as a mountain gate on this loess plain.

Qingyang Sect is located on Qingyang Mountain, the name of the sect also comes from this, Qingyang Mountain has a total of three peaks, the mountain is not steep, and it is only half a day's foot to climb its main peak on foot, but the vegetation on the mountain is luxuriant, flowers and birds are thick, and it is also a fairyland in the land of today's Shengshi Alliance.

At the foot of Qingyang Mountain, there is a small town, the residents of the town are full of energy, not like the people Luo Chen has seen these days, I think it is because this town is close to Qingyang Sect, and under its protection, ordinary thieves dare not approach here.

Qingyang Sect has a fang market in the town, and usually the residents of the town will also take the meat and vegetables at home here to sell some silver money to feed their families, but these months are the early spring, the time for Qingyang Sect to recruit disciples, so the most lively place in the fang market is the place where disciples are recruited, and the residents of the town will send their children to try their luck.

On this day, Luo Chen also came to the market.

"This Fang City is not as big as the Academy Fang City of Blue Spirit City. Luo Chen walked casually in the Fang City, and sighed: "But think about it, how can it be as prosperous as Yuanwu Kingdom when it is fought all year round?"

Luo Chen stopped in front of a material shop, and at a cursory glance, there were only a dozen materials here, among which there was no precious material, which made Luo Chen shake his head again, "How can these materials support my future talisman making needs, it seems that I have to think of a way in the future." ”

The scarcity of supplies in the market really made Luo Chen helpless, Luo Chen walked to a crowded place, only to see that there were four or five families gathered here, each family had one or two children about seven or eight years old, and in front of them there was a white-bearded old man, who was recording something.

"Could it be that this is the place where the Qingyang Sect recruits disciples?" Luo Chen asked, and as he observed, Luo Chen quickly confirmed this conclusion.

I saw the white-bearded old man stretch out his finger to touch the eyebrows of these children, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, and later recorded the names of some children, and left these children behind, and said to their parents and family members in unison: "Your child will be brought back to Qingyang Sect by Lao Yu for assessment, if he is not qualified, in a month, Lao Yu will bring him here, you have to wait here then!"

Families with children left behind nodded yes and declared that they would be there when the time came, while those whose children were not recorded left in disgrace.

It didn't take long for seven or eight children to stand behind the white-bearded old man, including men and women, Luo Chen saw that everyone had dispersed before he found a secluded place to take off his black robe, and asked Xiaotian Purple Fox to wait for him here, and then returned to the white-bearded old man's place, "Dare to ask the old man, this is the place where the Qingyang Sect recruits disciples?"

The white-bearded old man nodded, looked at Luo Chen and asked in surprise, "Why did you also come to sign up?" I see that you are already a one-star spirit master, right?"

Luo Chen was surprised that the old man saw through his strength at a glance, but he still nodded and said: "Don't hide it from the old man, I am indeed a one-star spirit master, and I have studied in the academy recommended by the Holy Spirit Hall Foundation Spirit Master Academy before, but the academy is too shallow after all, so I want to study in the sect." ”

"That's it!" The white-bearded old man didn't doubt him, frowned and looked at Luo Chen and said, "However, the disciples recruited by my sect are all seven or eight-year-old children with clean foundations, and your age does not match, and I don't dare to recruit you without authorization." ”

"Huh?" Luo Chen was stunned, this was unexpected, but seeing that the old man was full of children, he knew that what he said should be true.

"However, there is still a lack of a Dantong in my sect, and I need the strength of a spirit or above, I was worried that I couldn't find anyone, but if you want, I can accept you. The white-bearded old man saw that although Luo Chen's appearance was ordinary, there was a purple fire in the center of his eyebrows, which looked extremely mysterious, and he struggled in his heart, and said after a long silence.

Luo Chen suddenly felt happy in his heart, now he desperately needs a place to settle down and consolidate his strength, other aspects are secondary, but Luo Chen still pretended to be embarrassed on the surface and said: "But old man, being a Dantong shouldn't be able to learn things like your sect's spiritual skills, right?"

"That's no problem, although you can't learn my Zongzhen Sect's mastery, but it's not difficult to learn ordinary spiritual skills, it depends on your own ability. The white-bearded old man shook his head and said.

"So, okay then!" Luo Chen pretended to hesitate for a while before agreeing, "But I still have some things to deal with, I don't know when the old gentleman will go up the mountain?"

"It's okay, just come back before the evening. The white-bearded old man said with a happy face, "I will take them up the mountain then, so don't be late." By the way, what's your name?"

"Luo Chen. Luo Chen bowed his hand to the white-bearded old man, then turned around and left.

Returning to the secluded place just now, Xiao Tian Purple Fox was playing with his feet facing the sky, and when he saw Luo Chen coming back, he turned over and ran to Luo Chen's feet.

Luo Chen put on the black robe again, and walked towards the foot of Qingyang Mountain with Xiaotian Purple Fox in his arms, and in a moment one person and one fox came to the foot of the mountain, Luo Chen raised his eyes and looked around, and his heart was a little relieved, "Fortunately, the vegetation and trees at the foot of Qingyang Mountain are still lush, otherwise I really don't know where to leave Xiaozi." ”

Luo Chen put down the little sky purple fox in his arms, and the little sky purple fox stared at Luo Chen with big fox eyes and looked at Luo Chen suspiciously, "Chirp?"

Luo Chen took out a palm-sized purple spirit crystal from his body, which made the two spirit beasts of Yuling Mountain chase after him and wanted to get the spirit crystal of the white-veined purple fox, but at this time, Luo Chen had tied it with a thin rope to make a necklace, and Luo Chen hung the necklace around the neck of the little sky purple fox.

"I'm about to enter the Qingyang Sect, I have to leave you here alone, first, although this is no longer the Yuanwu Kingdom, but our goal together is too obvious, it is inevitable to be recognized, in case the person who pursues us can reach so far, I am afraid that we will be in a catastrophe, and second, this spirit crystal is also a treasure, and I will inevitably not be discovered and coveted by others. ”

"Fortunately, the vegetation here is quite lush, and it is not easy for people to find you in it, and I can feel at ease. I'll try my best to find a way to come and see you from time to time when I find an opportunity. ”

"Chirp ......" Xiaotian Zihu understood what Luo Chen meant, and looked at Luo Chen with tears in his eyes, his eyes full of reluctant friendship, but he also understood that what Luo Chen said was very reasonable.

Luo Chen leaned down, stroked the head of the little sky purple fox and said, "I estimate that we will stay here for a while, you take care of yourself at the bottom of the mountain, especially don't let others find out that you have this spirit crystal on you, otherwise you will ......"

Luo Chen didn't finish speaking, but he found that the spirit crystal on Xiao Tianzihu's neck gradually disappeared, and he said in disbelief: "This ...... How did it disappear out of thin air?"

"Chirp~" Xiaotian Purple Fox screamed proudly, and the spirit crystal on his neck gradually appeared again, and then disappeared again.

When Luo Chen saw it, he suddenly remembered that the Heavenly Purple Fox Clan would make illusions, although the Little Heavenly Purple Fox was small, but it was not a problem to hide a palm-sized spirit crystal, and as soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly handed over the branch obtained from the Holy Land to the Little Sky Purple Fox, "This branch was originally used to make a talisman pen, but it takes a special spirit craftsman to make a talisman pen, and now it is also a burden to carry it on the body, and I was still thinking about where to put this, but since you can hide the spirit crystal, it is not a problem to think about this small branch." ”

"Chirp~" Xiaotian Purple Fox nodded and bit the branch in Luo Chen's hand, and the branch disappeared without a trace after a while.

After explaining everything, one person and one fox reluctantly separated.

Luo Chen walked around the town below the mountain again with great caution, and waited until evening before taking off his black robe and slowly rushing to the place where the Qingyang Sect recruited disciples.

Seeing from a distance that there were a few more children behind the white-bearded old man than before, and there were as many as eighteen at this time, Luo Chen deeply understood how difficult it was to become a spirit master, and he sighed secretly when he saw these happy children on their faces, "It's a great luck that two of these children can become spirit masters." ”

"Luo Chen?" the white-bearded old man shouted when he saw Luo Chen coming from a distance.

"I'm sorry, old man, I'm late. Luo Chen walked up to the white-bearded old man and said.

"It's okay, since you've arrived, let's go up the mountain!" At this time, it was getting late, and the white-bearded old man had actually been waiting for a while, slightly annoyed in his heart, and wanted to leave several times, but he remembered that Luo Chen was a Dantong who had been recruited with great difficulty, and he endured it again, but fortunately, Luo Chen was not teasing him.

The white-bearded old man took out a spirit talisman from his arms, secretly transported his spiritual power, and the eighteen children suddenly felt a light on their bodies, and suddenly chirped and exclaimed, the old man ignored them and turned back to Luo Chen and said: "Even if you are a one-star spirit master, you don't need me to take you with you, just go up the mountain by yourself!"

After speaking, the white-bearded old man went straight with the eighteen children, and flew into the distance in a blink of an eye, leaving only the noise of the children to cease.

Luo Chen smiled bitterly, knowing that he came a little late, which made the old man unhappy, but this was caused by his caution, and there was really no way to do it at this critical juncture.

Putting away the distracting thoughts, Luo Chen quickly chased after the old man's back, and soon came to the foot of a mountain, at the foot of the mountain stood a large stone, with the three words Qingyang Sect written on it, and a winding path next to the big stone extended up to the top of the mountain.

At this time, the old man and the children had already flown away, and Luo Chen could no longer see their backs, Luo Chen smiled bitterly for a while before walking towards the mountain.

Qingyang Mountain's half-day journey is just for mortals, and two hours is enough for spirit masters, but because of Luo Chen's natal soul technique, his body is much faster than that of ordinary spirit masters, so after more than an hour, he came to the top of the mountain, and he could already see magnificent buildings from afar.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to reveal his identity as a talisman maker, Luo Chen could have taken the [White Feather Boat] to catch up with the white-bearded old man, but he had experienced a devilish exercise when he was in the Holy Spirit Temple, and this journey was not difficult for him.

Luo Chen was thinking about it, but a young man's voice came from in front of him, "It's Luo Chen?"

Luo Chen looked up and found that it was a round-faced young man dressed in white, the young man was slightly fat, and the white clothes on his body had yellow stripes on the collar and cuffs, he thought that it should be a disciple of the Qingyang Sect, so he arched his hand and said, "Exactly." ”

"Uncle Jade Beard has ordered me to wait here for a long time, come with me!" The young man turned around and walked in front of Luo Chen, shuttling left and right in the mountaintop complex, and soon stood outside a room and said, "Uncle Jade Beard is inside, you can go in by yourself!"
