Chapter 38: Big Brother
Ming Fan explained to Gan Ping in a mixed manner, and Gan Ping understood the relationship while looking at the decoration in the hall. It turns out that there are no outer disciples in this Earth Fire Palace, but there are more than a dozen servants and registered disciples to help them, and there are prohibitions in the Earth Fire Palace, and there is no need to clean it at all, so it is an easy job for Gan Ping to serve here. After entering this fire hall, there are only a few apsees for servant disciples to practice, and if you want to go to the fire room, you have to go down a long staircase to the rooms that hover below.
The Earth Fire Hall is the place where the entire sect's pills are refined, and there are as many as sixteen layers circling down towards the center of the earth, the more down the earth fire, the better the quality, of course, the more spirit stones are collected, and those people outside are just asking to enter the first layer. All the rooms are used together by the Earth Fire Hall and the Tiangong Palace, and there is also a small earth fire on the side of the Tiangong Palace, but the quality is far from catching up with here, usually refining the raw materials of the refining tool, because there are quite a lot of materials used in the refining tool, so the disciples of the Tiangong Hall are completed in the main hall, and then come to the Earth Fire Hall to refine, there are many perennial vacant fire rooms for the Tiangong Hall in the Earth Fire Palace, in case of emergency, as for the alchemy of the elders of the Earth Fire Palace, it is not so troublesome, the elixir materials are small, the output is large, and a few elders can only see the low-level spirit pill required by the entire sect to finish refining, and then they will retreat and study the Dan prescription, ignoring the world。
On weekdays, there is no big deal in this earth fire hall, and every day there are disciples who come to ask for the use of earth fire to be received by the servants below, and the two statues of strange beasts outside the door are sitting in the town, and there is no one who does not open their eyes to make trouble, so the elders in the hall are all happy and free, and the servant disciples below are also very relaxed. The elixirs refined by the elders must be sent to the Discipline Hall for unified distribution, but if someone comes to use the Earth Fire, it is managed by these servant disciples, so none of these inner and outer disciples who have requests for people dare to be unreasonable to the people in the Earth Fire Palace.
In the end, Ming Fan looked at the stunned Gan Ping and said triumphantly: "Our Earth Fire Hall is the best treatment for the registered disciples of the entire sect, and they are at ease on weekdays, and they don't need to look at people's faces when they go out, compared to other registered disciples, it is simply a fairy-like day, don't you know that the brothers in the Tiangong Palace, the materials for refining are moved every day..."
Originally, I thought that I had come to a promising place, and from then on, I could start from the basics, cultivate step by step, and then find a way to cure Ling'er and wake up Ling'er. But what I didn't expect was that I entered this Miaocheng Sect and actually did this Laoshizi's servant disciple, only issued a thin book of Qi Enlightenment, and now I actually went to this idle Earth Fire Hall to be on duty, to put it nicely, it is leisurely here, but if it is ugly, it is simply a mix of food and waiting for death here! What is the difference between this and living here for a lifetime, this is definitely not the life that Gan Ping wants.
Thinking of this, Gan Ping clenched his fists tightly, and secretly made a decision in his heart, no matter what the surrounding environment is, he must work hard to cultivate, remembering the moment when he rescued Ling'er's soul in Xiaoyue City that day, he was unwilling to be attacked by Qingruo, if his cultivation far surpassed him, he could easily kill him with just a wave of his sleeves, how could Ling'er suffer this bad luck, his life must be in his own hands after all, and the best way to achieve this goal is to become stronger, with a strong strength as a backing, no one can play with themselves at will。
Along the way, Ming Fan did not have the abnormality of Gan Ping, but just chattered to him about some things in the sect, it seems that only a dozen servants in this fire hall have already made Ming Fan, who likes to be lively, suffocated, and saw Gan Ping say all the words in one go. Gan Ping looked at Ming Fan's mouth a little speechless, he was telling a story about the inner disciples fighting because of the female disciples of Miao Cuifeng, Gan Ping didn't expect that cultivators would also be jealous, the cultivators in front of him were actually so gossipy, even Huo'er only pressed the two small monkey claws to the two ears, it couldn't stand the chatter magic sound through the brain, and Ming Fan's mouth didn't stop along the way.
Just when Gan Ping felt dizzy and his head was swollen, a low voice came from a distance: "Ming Fan, what are you talking about noisily? Ming Fan hurriedly bowed to a tall and thin figure in the distance and said, "Senior brother, I have already brought Gan Ping." ”
Only then did Gan Ping see clearly the man who appeared not far away, this man was in his twenties, tall and thin, with a dark face, and a serious look, Gan Ping hurriedly saluted like Ming Fan: "I've seen senior brother." The man looked at the two of them, nodded slightly, and said, "It's still a good etiquette, come, follow me to get the token and let Ming Fan take you to familiarize yourself with this Earth Fire Palace." After saying that, the two turned around and walked back, and the two hurriedly followed.
Even with the senior brother walking in front, Ming Fan's mouth still did not stop, and he muttered to Gan Ping in a low voice: "This is Senior Brother Gu Senran, no one has given a name to our servant disciples, so only those who have become official disciples can be named by the master, and the order is to keep the void and talk about Xuan, those guys outside are Xuanzi, don't look at the senior brother's heavy face, but the person is very good, and now he is also a servant disciple, we all think that the senior brother will be able to become an outer disciple, and when the time comes, you can go to the main peak to learn Taoism..."
Saying that, the senior brother walking in front of him coughed fiercely twice, and Gan Ping looked at Ming Fan, who was curling his neck and no longer speaking, with some amusement, and looked at the back of the senior brother in front. It is obvious that this Senior Brother Gu Senran is only at the peak of the initial level of Qi refining now, but his age is not young, any disciple standing outside has the strength of the middle level of Qi refining, and he is much younger, it seems that the qualifications of this senior brother are really not good, and what Ming Fan said is just his own assumption.
The three of them came to a room, Gan Ping looked at it, there was only a bookcase and a futon, and the rest was even a bed, it seemed that every day the senior brother was cultivating in addition to dealing with the affairs in the palace, and such hard work was also very human, Gan Ping couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for the senior brother in front of him. Gu Senran came to the side of the bookcase, picked up a token, handed it to Gan Ping, and said: "From now on, you are a disciple in this Earth Fire Palace, let Ming Fan lead you to meet the other senior brothers in a while, and then go to the seventh layer Dan Room to take charge of the fire, you must be cautious and not careless." Gan Ping said yes.
Senior brother Gu Senran then instructed a few more words, explained some things to Gan Ping, and then let the two out. When he went out, Gan Ping found that Ming Fan's eyes had been sweeping over him, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he turned his head to look at him and asked, "Senior Brother Ming Fan, why do you look at me like this?"
Chapter 39 Enlightenment
Coming out of Senior Brother Gu Senran, Ming Fan's pair of eyes looked at Gan Ping quite unnaturally, and then this sentence came out, which shocked Gan Ping, and hurriedly asked, "Where do you start with this?" Ming Fan glanced at him and said: "This is not simple? But as soon as you came, Senior Brother asked you to go to the seventh layer of the Earth Fire Hall to take charge of the furnace fire, this Earth Fire Hall has a total of sixteen floors, the first five layers are relatively ordinary flames, and each layer below the fifth layer is full of firepower, and the last three layers are only those elders can go down, and a disciple of yours who has just started went directly to the seventh layer to take charge of the Dan furnace, isn't it torture for you?"
Gan Pingyuan thought that Ming Fan could say something profound, but he didn't expect it to be such lazy words, so he couldn't help but laugh for a while, and said: "Senior Brother Ming Fan is too worried, how can Gan Ping offend people when he is just getting started?" I think which elder needs someone to take care of the Dan Furnace before he ordered me to go, and besides, this close to the Dan Furnace can also learn some alchemy methods, which is also good for himself. "This is clearly accustomed to being lazy, and regards such good deeds as punishment. Gan Ping sighed in his heart, the days in the Earth Fire Hall seemed to be very superior, which made a servant disciple like Ming Fan lose his enterprising spirit, but I don't know how many of the remaining disciples have the same idea as him, but his heart to strive for the Tao has not changed, otherwise it may attract ridicule.
Ming Fan thought about it for a while, and then stopped paying attention to these things, anyway, it was none of his business, so why bother. He led Gan Ping to the residence of the servants and disciples behind the Earth Fire Palace, found a room for him to put his things down, and then led him to meet the other disciples on duty.
At the end of the morning, Gan Ping, under the leadership of Ming Fan, traveled through the entire Earth Fire Palace, and also met all the disciples in the hall. Sure enough, as Gan Ping expected, the highest servant disciple in this hall was Senior Brother Gu Senran, and the rest of the disciples were all about mid-level cultivation in the initial level of qi refining, so it seemed that the comfortable days in this Earth Fire Hall were not a good thing for cultivation.
Because the senior brother said that he would go to the seventh floor of the Earth Fire Hall to guard the furnace fire after Gan Ping was properly settled, although Ming Fan persuaded him to go again tomorrow, Gan Ping still decided to report today. Placing the fire on his shoulder, Gan Ping walked down the winding passage to the ground, occasionally passing by a few disciples from the outer gate along the way, and ignoring Gan Ping, who was dressed as a servant disciple.
Gan Ping looked at the furnishings in every place curiously, the long winding passage was empty, this passage spiraled down, and the top was inlaid with a moonstone every dozens of steps for illumination, so although it was underground, it was as bright as day, and the doors on both sides were closed, and there were some noises from time to time, thinking that it was the disciples who borrowed the fire room to refine the elixir or magic weapon. Gan Ping looked at the door number above and walked forward, just now I learned from Ming Fan's air that the first ten floors of this earth fire hall are ranked by the number of heavenly stems, and the first floor of the first room is Jia Yi, and so on, and so on, it is the seventh layer of the Gengzi layer, but the senior brother did not explain what he went to The number of the Gengzi layer, but the moon of this earth fire hall is narrower and narrower, and there are few rooms on the seventh floor.
Thinking all the way to Gan Ping came to the seventh layer, sure enough, as Ming Fan said, after the third layer, the firepower increased a lot, and when he reached the sixth layer, he was even more angry, and he was in it as if his clothes and hair were going to be scorched, fortunately, Gan Ping was the body of the fire spirit, and there was a faint sense of intimacy with the power of this rich fire attribute, not to mention the fire, and the cheerful appearance of dancing on Gan Ping's shoulders knew the happiness of this little clever ghost.
"This is only the sixth layer, if you reach the tenth layer, what will it look like, it is not a huge fire, as for the last layer, it must be close to the heart of the earth, it must be extremely terrifying. Thinking all the way to Gan Ping came to the seventh level, a huge Geng character appeared in front of him, this Geng character did not know who wrote it, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced like a jumping flame. Gan Ping looked faintly aware that there seemed to be a trace of the fire attribute of the rules of the Heavenly Dao, so he looked at it, and for a while it seemed that a brilliant flame came out of that word, flying into Gan Ping's mind, and the surrounding rich fire attribute spiritual power immediately gathered towards him, and the true recipe of the Rong Yuan Forging Body in Gan Ping's body also ran rapidly, and a faint dragon power faintly emanated from the body, but fortunately, this dragon secret method was very secret, and the breath only leaked out and converged back into itself.
The abnormality of the aura also alarmed others, and the door of the No. 3 room of Gengzi not far away was opened, and an old man in ordinary clothes walked out of it. Elder Wuyun saw Gan Ping standing in the passage, his eyes were slightly closed, and the power of the mysterious law flew down from the Geng character on his head, surrounded by this little child, and the spiritual power of the fire attribute was agitated between one breath and one breath, and it was faintly in line with it, even the fire monkey on his shoulder also had a solemn face, and the surrounding fire attribute spiritual power was surging and wandering between the claws of this little monkey, and it was through the fire monkey's innate fire control magic power that these spiritual powers were methodically transported into Gan Ping's body, and it was really a natural spirit beast, Elder Wuyun couldn't help but admire。
"Originally, this disciple was transferred to the Danfang to use the power of the fire monkey around him, but he didn't expect this son to be extraordinary, yesterday I heard Tan Ming say that this son's bones are strange, and the consolidation of the soul is a good material for cultivation. Thinking of this, Elder Wuyun's heart moved, "Isn't it a great tribulation of heaven and earth after a Jiazi to be solved on this son?" Thinking of this, he shook his head again, " How old is this son, even if he is cultivated with the power of the whole sect, he is at most a fake Dan cultivation after a jiazi, but he has not done much, but if it is a hundred years later, he must be a handsome man in the sect, but it is a pity that those elders who guard the ancestral teachings of the sect are unwilling to include the disciples, otherwise they will enter the inner gate with the qualifications and fortunes of this son, and they may become a mantle disciple, but now they can only mess around in this fire hall, but it seems that this son has a lot of fate for the rules of this fire, and he may be able to train one or two. ”
Elder Wuyun looked at Gan Ping from afar with a flickering gaze, and did not disturb him, but the joy in his eyes flashed with every time the fire attribute spiritual power on Gan Ping's body was swallowed, and finally as if he had seen a treasure, his eyes looking at Gan Ping were also extremely hot, " Genius, genius, just the beginning of the posture to comprehend the three generations of patriarchs hidden in the word for the cultivation of the understanding, originally thought that with his young age, should have fainted, but I didn't expect him to be fine, now it is to comprehend that understanding, it seems that he is about to wake up. ”
Gan Ping's soul has already absorbed the fragments of the two great primordial god masters, and the lower end of the divine soul is extremely powerful, which is only hidden in one word, and the cultivation perception is understood by him thoroughly in the blink of an eye, how can there be that fainting thing? When he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but be startled, an old man in front of him was staring at him not far away, the light shining in his eyes was even more pressing than the firepower around him, looking at that look made Gan Ping can't help but think of the wild wolf he met for the first time on the edge of the Tianling Mountains, with the same fanaticism in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow himself, he couldn't help but take a step back and put on a defensive look.
Seeing him like this, Wu Yan felt his gaffe, and quickly coughed twice, retracted his gaze, and put on a high-ranking posture, this is Gan Ping who found out that the old man with wolf-like eyes in front of him was actually the boundless elder above the main hall yesterday, although Xuanyang's voice was very small at that time, but Gan Ping, who was keenly aware of the six senses, had already known the name of the old man in front of him. hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Disciple Gan Ping, I've seen the elders." Wuyun twisted his beard and nodded, the more he looked at Gan Ping, the more he felt happy, this son has excellent qualifications, his soul is solid, and he has extraordinary comprehension, and he is not humble or arrogant, he knows etiquette and etiquette, if he is really a first-class good material, if he can be included in the door, he will be able to carry forward what he has learned in his life, so he has already made a secret decision in his heart.
