Chapter 164: Apprenticeship
Tianshu Island.
A white flying boat carried Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai towards Xianxia Peak, the center of Lanzhou.
As the headquarters of the Xianxia Sect, Xianxia Peak is called a mountain, but it is actually a huge land, and it is named only because this continent has endless immortal mountains.
Among the many immortal mountains, the main peak of Xianxia Peak is the most majestic and magnificent.
Whether it is Su Ming or Gong Xiaocai, it is not the first time to come to Xianxia Peak.
It's just that unlike the previous two times he came here, this time, Su Ming, as a new inner disciple, wants to officially choose an inner sect elder in the Xianxia Sect to worship his master.
In fact, as a disciple of Su Mingjia and others, as long as he was an inner sect elder who intended to accept disciples, Su Ming would have the opportunity to worship within his door wall.
But what Su Ming is looking for is not to find a strong master, what he wants to find is a low-key enough master, preferably the kind of master who doesn't care much about his apprentices.
Because unlike other inner disciples, Su Ming didn't need the support of his master very much.
To put it bluntly, even though the Xianxia Sect claims to have 3,000 immortal mountains and more than 1,000 Jindan elders, there are probably very few people who can really win against Guangyuanzi.
This kind of mentorship is indeed dispensable for Su Ming.
However, due to the sect regulations of the Xianxia Sect, if Su Ming wants to continue to promote and practice in the Xianxia Sect, it is inevitable that he will join the Inner Gate to worship an Inner Sect Elder as a teacher.
Previously, Su Ming had also thought about it, or he would simply worship Wang Xuanjian, a newly promoted Yuanying monk, as his teacher.
But as a result, among the inner sect elders who recruited disciples, there was no Wang Xuanjian at all.
Only then did Su Ming realize that not every time an outer disciple was promoted to an inner disciple, all the inner sect Jindan elders would come out to accept disciples.
In fact, compared to Su Ming, who was unwilling to apprentice, Elder Jindan of the Inner Gate was the one who was really unwilling to accept apprentices.
After all, accepting a mid-foundation disciple would not only not help a Jindan elder, but would instead expend a lot of energy to cultivate this disciple, which was really not cost-effective.
However, for the sake of the sect's inheritance, the Xianxia Sect stipulated that each Jindan elder must accept enough disciples, otherwise, it would be regarded as ignoring the sect's laws and regulations, and the consequences would be quite serious.
In between, even if there were many Jindan elders who were unwilling to accept disciples, they could only have no choice but to choose apprentices among the newly promoted inner disciples.
After all, the apprentices who were personally selected by themselves were much better than those forcibly arranged by the sect.
The white flying boat is fast.
Half a month later.
The two landed on a secondary peak mountain range of Xianxia Peak.
This is the place where the new inner disciples are waiting for the inner door elders to choose.
Although it is a two-way choice for the inner door elders to select disciples and inner disciples to worship their masters.
But very few inner disciples dared to choose other masters after Elder Jin Dan selected him.
After all, no one knew what the temperament of the Jindan Elder who picked him was, and if he offended a Jindan monk because of this, his life in the Xianxia Sect would be difficult in the future.
"Ascension Immortal Palace!"
Gong Xiaocai raised his head, looked at an immortal hall standing on the leveling dojo, and whispered to the three big characters on the plaque of the immortal hall.
Not only Su Ming, but in the sky, there were one after another faint lights flying towards the Ascending Immortal Palace.
Not for a moment.
The originally deserted dojo was crowded with new inner disciples.
If you look at it widely, there are more than a thousand.
"It is worthy of being the first sect of Daqian!"
On the side, Gong Xiaocai was full of emotion.
Su Ming nodded, and also sighed: "Yes, there are more than a thousand newly promoted inner disciples in just one year. ”
But thinking of the entire three peaks and five realms of Lanzhou, there are three avenues in Yaoyuanshui alone.
The total number of outer disciples sent by these three major Dao Academies to the Xianxia Sect every year is tens of thousands, and the total number of outer disciples who join the Xianxia Sect every year is tens of thousands.
With such a huge base of outer disciples, more than 1,000 inner disciples are born every year, which shows that it is not easy to become an inner disciple in the Xianxia Sect.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that many outer disciples have completely slackened and do not want to make progress after joining the Xianxia Sect.
After all, cultivation comes with boundless loneliness and suffering, and there are not many people who can persevere on this path.
This is also the reason why the Xianxia Sect is the first to recruit disciples.
Su Ming and the others were just about to step into the Ascension Immortal Palace.
The two deacon disciples in charge of guarding the front of the hall stopped Gong Xiaocai, and then bowed their hands to Su Ming: "This senior brother, only inner disciples can enter this place. ”
Hearing this, Su Ming glanced at Gong Xiaocai.
Gong Xiaocai smiled at him and said, "Brother Su Ming, you go in first, I'll wait for you outside the hall!" ”
"Okay."
Su Ming nodded, didn't talk nonsense, and walked directly into the main hall.
Enter the Ascension Hall.
There is really something else inside, obviously from the outside, it is just an ordinary hall, but when you enter it, you find that there is a cave inside, and the area inside is much larger than Su Ming expected.
More than a thousand inner disciples of the Xianxia Sect entered it, but it still seemed sparse.
"Oh, Master, hurry up! If you go slowly this year, you won't be able to recruit suitable disciples again! ”
High in the air, two figures swept quickly.
It's just that these two figures, one is quite anxious, and the other is very good.
I saw him hanging a wine gourd in one hand, raised his head and drank a sip of wine, burped a wine, and said with a mouth full of wine: "If you can't recruit it, you can't recruit it, and you're not in a hurry to be a teacher, what are you anxious about?" ”
The monk who tugged at his sleeve in front of him and flew in the sky was very burly, like a brown bear standing upright.
Hearing Shizun's nonchalant words, the monk in front of him slapped his forehead sharply and said, "Master, your old man forgot, if you don't recruit disciples again, according to the rules of the Xianxia Sect, you will be deprived of your position as an elder." ”
"Ugh"
Hearing this, the old man in the rear, who only cared about drinking, paused slightly, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, good man, how can I forget this matter, you sit tight!" ”
After saying that, he threw the wine gourd in his hand casually, pulled his disciple, who was as strong as a brown bear, to step on the wine gourd, and then turned into a ray of light and flew quickly in the direction of the Ascending Immortal Palace.
With the light landing, he landed in the dojo of the Ascension Immortal Palace.
Nuoda's dojo was empty except for Gong Xiaocai.
This Jindan elder saw Gong Xiaocai and said curiously: "Little doll, what are you doing here?" ”
"Elder, the disciple is waiting for someone."
Hearing this, a hint of ridicule flashed on the face of this Jin Dan elder, and he smiled: "Are you waiting for your lover?" ”
Knowing this, Gong Xiaocai's cheeks immediately blushed.
"Master !!"
Beside him, the disciple who was as strong as a bear couldn't hold back any longer, "Have you forgotten what you're going to do?" ”
"Uh, yes, yes, pick a disciple!"
The old man, who still had a flush on his face and a drunken face, hurriedly walked into the Ascension Hall.
Just stepped into the Ascension Immortal Palace.
The Jindan monk's face finally turned serious.
No matter how unobtrusive he usually is, but in the face of such a big thing as selecting disciples, he doesn't dare to be sloppy at all, especially when he is in the vein of Xiaolin Feng, and now he only has a single seedling.
Entering the Ascension Hall, this Jindan monk first took out his elder nameplate.
In the Xianxia Sect, from the head of the sect to the outer disciples, the identity nameplate is an extremely important item.
This thing can not only prove the identity of the monk, but also complete the exchange of various information.
For example, right now, this peak master of Xiaolin Peak has discovered a good seedling through his elder nameplate!
"First-class disciple!"
This Kobayashi Peak Peak Lord's heartbeat almost slowed down by half a beat.
It's actually a first-class disciple!
The so-called early is better than lucky, he is in a hurry this time!
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Beside him, the sturdy monk who felt that his master was not in the right state turned his head and said with an urn.
However, Bai Ti ignored his apprentice, only to see him immediately perform a cleaning technique to clean his unkempt image.
Combined with his cultivation in the middle of Jindan, there is indeed a smell of immortal wind bones.
"Ahem, don't follow me yet!"
Bai Ti glanced at his apprentice, and ignored the aggrieved little eyes of his apprentice, as soon as he stretched out his hand, there was an extra stalk of floating dust in his hand, and then the floating dust was shaken, and he raised his leg and walked towards Su Ming.
"Little doll, what's your name?"
Bai Ti walked up to Su Ming and asked with a smile.
"Under the surname Su, but the name is an inscription to remember."
"Su Ming, good name!"
Bai Ti shook off the dust, and immediately gave Su Ming a thumbs up, "This Bai Ti, added as the peak master of Xiaolin Peak, and wants to accept Xiaoyou as an apprentice, I don't know what you think?" ”
Bai Ti tried his best to make his tone amiable, but the eagerness in his words still couldn't be concealed.
There is no way, who made it possible for other Jindan monks to come over at any time?
He was only one step ahead of the other Jindan monks.
If the other Jindan monks knew that there were first-class disciples in the Ascension Hall today, they would have been waiting here for a long time.
A first-class disciple means that he will definitely be able to become a Jindan monk in the future.
Having a Jindan stage disciple is a great help even for Elder Jindan.
Su Ming pondered for a moment and asked, "Dare to ask this elder, what does Xiao Lin Feng do?" ”
"Good question!"
Hearing this, Bai Ti's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "You know that the elixir cultivated by the Xianxia Sect is expensive, right?" ”
Su Ming nodded.
"The cultivation of elixirs of the Xianxia Sect is all under the control of my Xiaolin Feng!"
Hearing this, Su Ming couldn't help but be moved.
It didn't matter to him who he worshipped as a teacher, but when he heard that the Xiaozhu Peak Peak Master in front of him was actually in charge of the cultivation of the Xianxia Sect's elixir, he couldn't help but be impressed by him.
Elixir cultivation is not a trivial matter for any sect.
Different from casual cultivation, the reason why the sect's elixir supply is stable, in addition to the large number of alchemists in the sect, there is another important reason, that is, the sect has a stable supply of elixir.
If a casual cultivator wants to buy a spirit pill above the second order, it often depends on whether he is lucky or not.
Bad luck, the elixir is out of stock, and no matter how many spirit stones there are, you can't buy a second-order elixir.
But for a big force like the Xianxia Sect, there is no lack of second-order elixir at all, and even the third-order elixir, the Xianxia Sect has a stable supply.
It's just that the supply of second-order elixirs is not as sufficient.
And all of this depends on the cultivation of elixirs from the sect!
Now, the Jindan elder named Bai Ti in front of him actually said that he was in charge of the cultivation of elixirs in the entire Xianxia Sect, and I have to say that this is a very important position in the sect.
Generally speaking, it is impossible for a sect to hand over such an important position to the other party if it is not the sect's absolute trust in a certain elder.
If Bai Ti was a spy of a hostile force, he only needed to burn all the elixirs with a single fire, and the Xianxia Sect would be greatly damaged in an instant.
The damage was even more profound than the loss of a Yuan Infant Cultivator.
After Bai Ti reported to his home, he looked at Su Ming with a confident expression.
Sure enough, Su Ming didn't even think about it, and directly bowed his hand and said, "The disciple is willing to worship Elder Bai as a teacher!" ”
Bai Ti hugged Su Ming and said with a smile: "It's better to wait for the apprenticeship ceremony to go back to Xiaolin Feng." ”
After recruiting Su Ming, Bai Ti didn't have the idea of continuing to recruit disciples, and immediately said to the sturdy disciples he brought: "Let's go, let's go back first!" ”
Bai Ti's disciple, who was as strong as a bear, didn't understand why Shizun had just come to the Ascension Immortal Palace, and he had to rush back after recruiting a disciple.
But the teacher's order cannot be violated, Xiong Li knows that there must be a reason for the master to do this.
Sure enough, the three of them had just walked out of the Ascension Hall.
One after another, the Jindan monks rode the light and came belatedly.
"Senior Brother Bai, have you already finished selecting your disciples?"
Bai Ti greeted with a smile: "It's already finished, but there are not many people who meet the eye, only one, alas." ”
Hearing this, the Jindan monk pursed his lips and said with a smile: "That's Senior Brother Bai, your vision is high, not like me"
After that, he shook his head and said, "Then Senior Brother will go and select disciples first, and come to my Immortal Saint Peak another day, I will invite Senior Brother Bai to have a drink." ”
"Well said, well said."
Bai Ti smiled politely.
Just as Bai Ti was about to leave with Su Ming and Xiong Li, Su Ming immediately said, "Master, slow down!" ”
Seeing that Su Ming had not officially apprenticed, he changed his words quickly, and Bai Ti couldn't help but be more satisfied with Su Ming in his heart.
"Good boy, what's the matter?"
Su Ming arched his hand and said, "My sister is still waiting for me there, Master, can you take her with you?" ”
"Huh?"
When Bai Ti heard this, he looked in the direction of Su Ming's finger, and couldn't help laughing, "I'm afraid you're not a love sister." ”
After that, Bai Ti smiled and said, "Okay, then take her with you, and when she is promoted to an inner disciple in the future, she will also worship under the wall of my door together, and you kid of the province will be uncertain." ”
"Thank you, Master."
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
It is all a teacher-student relationship, and it is a close relationship comparable to that of a Taoist couple in the immortal cultivation world, and Su Ming really feels one or two at this moment.
You must know that in the Xianxia Sect of Nuoda, Gong Xiaocai, as an outer disciple, is not familiar with the life here, and if he collides with a master who cannot be provoked, he will regret it too late.
Therefore, what Su Ming thought about was to bring Gong Xiaocai to worship under the same master, so that he would have a good care in the future.
But before he could say this, the white elder in front of him had already seen through it.
The other party not only saw through it, but even promised to wait for Gong Xiaocai to be promoted to the inner door, and then worship under his door wall.
It can be seen that for Su Ming, a newly recruited disciple, Bai Ti is already extremely favorable.
