Chapter 40: Prosperity
But how to enter the Thunder Spirit Sect and become a disciple of the Thunder Spirit Sect is another headache.
Qin Yun inquired, the time for Lei Ling Sect to find a disciple had just passed, and if he wanted to wait for the next time, he would need to wait for a year, which Qin Yun couldn't afford to wait.
What he lacks most now is time, because there will be news of his sister Liu Yanyun and the marriage of the Nine Emperor Princes at any time, so Qin Yun must improve his strength in the shortest possible time.
Since it is not yet time for the sect to be selected, how can it be mixed into the Thunder Spirit Sect?
Qin Yun thought about it for a whole night, and finally came up with a way, which was to infiltrate the sect as a miscellaneous disciple.
The Lei Ling Sect divides its disciples into four levels, namely miscellaneous disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, and elite disciples.
Elite disciples are the elites of the sect, and they are all the most outstanding disciples of the sect, and they are either extremely qualified or have a strong understanding.
All elite disciples have to worship under the elders or the head of the sect, so the elite disciples have the highest status among the sect disciples and enjoy the highest treatment.
The inner disciples are the backbone of the sect, they are the official disciples of the sect, and they are generally taught by the previous generation of disciples, and they will be selected every year to select elite disciples from the inner disciples.
Most of the outer disciples are some disciples who have potential and have decent qualifications, but their strength is insufficient, and as the reserve team of the sect, they can be promoted to inner disciples through selection.
As for the miscellaneous disciples, the disciples who naturally do some miscellaneous hard work, although they are also nominally disciples of the Lei Ling Sect, but to put it bluntly, they are the coolies of the sect, and they are all ordinary people who spend some money and want to get an immortal duel to cultivate and prolong their life.
Of course, miscellaneous disciples can also be promoted to outer disciples through cultivation, so it is completely possible to first blend in as miscellaneous disciples, and then enter the outer disciples through continuous selection, and then promote from outer disciples to inner disciples, and finally obtain the right to enter the Thunder Mountain.
But how do you become a miscellaneous disciple?
Lei Ling Sect is not without requirements for miscellaneous disciples, first of all, the age cannot exceed sixteen years old, secondly, there must be a spiritual root, and then there must be 10,000 taels of silver.
Ten thousand taels of silver may sound like an exaggeration, but for those wealthy merchants in the mortal world who are bent on hoping that their families can produce a powerful offspring, they are very willing to spend this money.
For them, it was a supreme honor for their children to be able to enter the Thunder Spirit Sect, even if it was just a miscellaneous disciple.
Therefore, even if it is a miscellaneous disciple of the Thunder Spirit Sect, for the mortals outside, it is also a very noble status.
But the property left by his sister has been spent by Qin Yun and used to cast the Xuantie Inner Armor, and now he is penniless, where can he afford to pay 10,000 taels of silver?
So Qin Yun first planned to go to Lei Ling City at the foot of Lei Ling Sect Mountain to take a look and see if he could find a way to make money.
Named after the Thunder Spirit Sect, Lei Ling City is a rather prosperous city.
The business is developed, the population is dense, and it is also one of the best existences in the entire Baiyun County, and the most important thing is that Lei Ling City has the largest spirit soldier trading place in Baiyun County, so there are more cultivators in Lei Ling City.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Qin Yun had already felt the prosperous and glorious momentum of Lei Ling City, the sixteen-meter-high city gate, the city wall was as high as twenty-seven meters, majestic and majestic, the entire wall was made of hard bluestone rock, and the mighty city wall was like a huge and terrifying giant beast crawling on the ground.
The city tower at the head of the city is three stories high, the eaves are arched, the gold is splendid, and it gives people the feeling of grandeur and extraordinary at a glance.
Although Qin Yun had seen many more majestic city gates than this, the grandeur of Thundercloud City still made him feel incredible.
Immortals can point out and raise tall buildings on the ground, but these mortals can only rely on their meager strength to pile up brick by brick, so these are the crystallization of their wisdom and labor.
Walking into the city gate, there were eighteen spear-wielding soldiers standing on both sides, staring at the passing crowd with a pair of eyes like sharp knives, exuding a strong aura of iron and blood.
Those who passed by the city gates, peasants and merchants, all shrunk their heads, trembling and cautious, apparently frightened by the momentum of the soldiers.
Qin Yun smiled slightly, and slowly walked towards the city, his steps were relaxed, and he was not affected by the momentum of these soldiers in the slightest.
As soon as you enter Lei Ling City, you will suddenly open up, and the spacious and prosperous streets will be lined with shops, people will come and go, and the cries of selling will come and go.
Qin Yun was shocked in his heart, this Thunder Spirit City was really as prosperous as the legend, and this endless stream of people alone was not comparable to Qingyuan City.
Qin Yun walked along the street casually, thinking deeply about how to get 10,000 taels of silver as quickly as possible, but he couldn't think of a good way to do it.
Now he is not only penniless, but also has nothing that can be exchanged for money, there are only a few things of value, and they all have important uses, and now he regrets the most that he did not pick a few night pearls from that hall, otherwise why worry about this ordinary money now.
Time passed quickly, the sky quickly darkened, Qin Yun walked around Thunder Spirit City, and walked through the entire Thunder Spirit City, large and small markets, but still did not find a way to make money.
"Alas, it looks like I'm going to have to sleep in the mountains and forests again today. Qin Yun couldn't help but sigh, and walked towards the city gate with no interest.
He didn't even have money to stay in the inn, so naturally he had to go to the mountains and forests outside the city to hunt some game to satisfy his hunger, otherwise he would become a beggar if he lived on the streets.
However, just as Qin Yun was about to walk towards the outside of the city gate, he was stopped by a young man riding a dragon scale horse.
Qin Yun looked at the person who came vigilantly, this person was dressed in a white brocade shirt, wearing a white cloak, and he was very handsome, at first glance, he was the son of a big family in the wind of the jade tree.
What Qin Yun valued the most was that this person's cultivation had actually reached the cultivation of the Seventh Heavenly Martial Master, but his appearance looked about the same age as himself, and at first glance he was a genius with extraordinary qualifications.
Looking at the people around him and the soldiers guarding the city, when they saw him, their eyes were full of awe, and Qin Yun could conclude that this person's status in Thunder Spirit City was definitely not low.
"Boy, you're not from Lei Ling City, are you?" The young boy brother rode on the tall dragon scale horse, looked at Qin Yun condescendingly, and asked with an arrogant expression.
Qin Yun frowned slightly, the tone and demeanor of the young boy's voice made him very unhappy, but he didn't want to easily offend the boy in front of him, so he replied indifferently: "I'm really not a local, dare to ask the boy what is the matter with me?"
When that son-in-law heard Qin Yun's words, he sneered, and then said, "This son-in-law has taken a fancy to the sword on your waist, say, how much is it?"
"I'm not selling!" Qin Yun decisively refused.
First of all, this soft sword does not say that it has its own master sealed in its body, and its own value alone cannot be measured by money, how can he sell it.
When the boy heard Qin Yun reject him, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he immediately snorted coldly: "Boy, do you know who I am?"
"I don't know. Qin Yun replied simply: "Even if you are the son of the city lord of Lei Ling City, I won't sell it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd of onlookers suddenly became in an uproar, and their eyes looked at Qin Yun as if they were looking at a corpse.
That son's face turned blue instantly, and his eyes were full of murderous intent when he looked at Qin Yun.
"Hmph, today I will let you know that what I want in Shi Tianya has never been obtained. Brother Gongzi snorted coldly, his eyes bursting with murderous intent.
"City guards, take him down for me. ”
The boy roared, and the city defenders who were already waiting for him quickly surrounded Qin Yun and surrounded him.
Qin Yun was indifferent from beginning to end, even if he was surrounded, he looked unafraid.
