Chapter 17: Formal Apprenticeship

By the time it was time to eat at noon, Yu Qingyao felt the difference between the upper courtyard and the lower courtyard. Although the dishes here are not as many as those in the lower courtyard, and they are not as exquisite, they have one thing in common, they are all medicinal food. Every dish is very replenished, and ginseng is put in the same way as no money.

After eating, everyone went back to their rooms to practice. If you don't practice, you're going to have a nosebleed, and it's too much to make up.

Practicing the Tongwei Heart Method, I feel that the aura is five times more than that of the lower courtyard.

Yu Qingyao sighed, this is the gap, with such conditions, the cultivation speed is definitely several times faster than that of the lower court.

Early the next morning, Yu Qingyao was the first to wake up, washed her face, and used to preparing face wash water for the master, and after serving the master to wash his face, she went to comb his hair again.

The four senior brothers looked at each other.

Wang Daochang glanced at them coldly and said, "What do you see? Learn a little bit, see how filial Qing Yao is!"

The four senior brothers all bowed their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

Yu Qingyao snickered.

After breakfast, Wang Daochang took his apprentices to the ancestral hall.

Outside the temple gate, more than 300 people were already waiting.

The door of the temple was opened, and the crowd entered.

In the middle of the main hall is an incense case, on which is a portrait of the antique ancestor.

Wang Daochang burned incense and worshiped the ancestor and solemnly announced that he would accept Yu Qingyao as an apprentice.

He turned around, ducked aside, and motioned for Yu Qingyao to step forward.

Yu Qingyao was wearing a brand-new cyan robe, kneeling in front of the statue of the patriarch and kowtowing nine times.

Then, she kowtowed three times to Wang Daochang and gave tea.

Wang Daochang took the tea with a smile, took a sip of tea, and ordered her to get up.

Elder Liu asked for a pedigree book, solemnly registered her name in the book, and recorded it in Wang Yijie's name. Then, he took a jade plaque, engraved Yu Qingyao's name, and sent it to her.

This brand is called Dao Saucer, and it is the ID card of the Taoist.

Yu Qingyao took it and glanced at it. One side of the jade plaque is carved with the pattern of a white crane in the clouds, and the three words of flying cloud view are written on it. On the other side is engraved three lines of words. One line is the inner disciple of Feiyun Temple, one line is the seventeenth disciple of Wang Yijie, and the bottom line is her name.

Elder Wang read out the ten main rules and gave her a booklet, telling her to memorize the rules and not to violate them, otherwise she would be severely punished.

Yu Qingyao agreed to take the booklet.

At this point, Yu Qingyao can be regarded as officially entering the Feiyun Temple and becoming the descendant disciple of Wang Yijie and Wang Guan.

The ceremony was so solemn only because she was an inner disciple. If you are an outer disciple, you don't have so many famous halls.

Next, all the elders stepped forward with smiles on their faces to congratulate Wang Guan on accepting good disciples.

Wang Daochang said with a smile on his face: "Rejoice and rejoice!"

He instructed Yu Qingyao to kowtow to the elders. This is Uncle Shi, and that is Uncle Shi. Yu Qingyao kowtowed and was about to get dizzy. There are more than 20 elders!

Fortunately, each elder wrapped a red envelope. Some are for silver tickets, some are for gold leaves, some are for cultivation pills, and some are for jade jewelry.

After a trip, Yu Qingyao found that she had made a fortune.

She counted afterwards and found that she had obtained gold and silver jewelry worth tens of thousands of taels and fifty Peiling pills.

It is said that Pei Ling Pill is sold outside for five hundred taels of silver. One pill in three days, ten pills can be practiced for a month.

After she became an inner disciple, she would send five pills every month.

Yu Qingyao thinks that it is really worth apprenticing to Wang Daochang, has he been lifted out of poverty and become rich in one fell swoop?

Cultivation is such a lucrative profession!

After the ceremony, Wang Daochang set up three tables of banquets and invited the elders to eat.

Yu Qingyao inevitably went up to toast one by one. Fortunately, the elders understood her for being a small and beautiful little girl, and allowed her to replace wine with tea. Otherwise, she would have gotten drunk.

After dinner, Wang Daochang called her to the study and gave her ten books. Let her read it well, if there is something she doesn't understand, you can come and ask him. When he wasn't there, he went to ask the brothers in the courtyard.

Yu Qingyao took the book and went back to the house to read it carefully.

One is the boxing sutra of the white crane long fist, which has three layers.

One is a snake and crane double-shaped, also with three layers. This is the congenital-level martial arts that the White Crane Changquan has practiced to perfection and broken through the congenital learning.

One is the Flying Cloud Strike, or the third layer, this is the exercise after the congenital consummation.

The fourth book is the Tongwei Heart Method, which has all the mental methods from one to the ninth layer.

Yu Qingyao read it once, and the contents of the four books were recorded in the system, and the corresponding columns appeared on the system screen, but the color of the words was gray, indicating that it had not been activated.

The fifth book is the cultivation experience and great achievements of the ancestor Feiyun Dao people.

The sixth book is this Dao Sutra, called "Dao Ben Sutra", which is full of theories covered by clouds and mountains and fog, Yu Qingyao was not interested, and threw it aside.

The seventh book is still this Taoist scripture, "Eight Views Cave True Scripture", Yu Qingyao flipped it over and threw it aside.

The eighth book is the "Feiyun Sword Sutra", which records the three-layer swordsmanship of the Feiyun Temple.

The ninth book is "Demon Ghost Record", which introduces the monsters and ghosts that have appeared in the world. Yu Qingyao felt that this should be taken seriously, there are many demons and ghosts in this world, and it is inevitable that you will encounter them when you go out. If you don't know anything, you'll die.

The tenth is a spell book, called "Feiyun Basic Spell"

Seeing the spell book, Yu Qingyao was in high spirits and immediately opened it to read.

The upper scroll of the scriptures is called the dwelling scroll.

The first spell is candlelight, which is to cut a candle out of paper and light a little candle to illuminate the surroundings like a real candle. Paper candles can be lit for an hour.

When practicing to a high level, no paper candles are used, and any grass root can have the same effect.

The second spell is dusting, which removes dust from a one-metre-square area, and is usually used by Taoists to clean beds and tables.

The third spell is Paper Money, where a piece of paper is cast and shown to a specific target, who will think it's a silver ticket. A spell used to save the Taoist when he has no silver.

The fourth spell is the mastery, also known as cupping, ink grinding, or copying. Taoists often use it to control small objects. For example, take a cup for yourself, polish ink for yourself, and copy scriptures for yourself. These three things are the most common things that Taoists do with this spell.

The fifth spell is Paper Shoes, fold it with a piece of paper, and then cast a spell, and the paper will turn into a boot.

The sixth spell is the willow leaf coat, which is made of wicker grass blades to make a rough appearance of clothes, and after casting the spell, it will turn into a piece of clothing.

Seeing this, Yu Qingyao couldn't help but complain, how poor is this Taoist? Don't you have the money to buy a candle, a feather duster, or a pair of shoes?

This Taoist is poor and lazy, Yu Qingyao pouted and looked back.

The seventh spell is the Liquor Spell, a spell that casts a spell on a pot of water and turns it into wine.

The eighth spell is paper furniture, yes, it's a spell that cuts furniture out of paper and turns it into furniture.

The ninth spell is Grass Equestrianism, which uses grass to tie a horse and then casts a spell to turn it into a horse that can be ridden.

The tenth spell is the Wooden Boat Spell, which casts a spell on a piece of wood to turn it into a wooden boat.

The eleventh spell is the Grass Wood Pill, cut a pile of grass, no matter what kind of grass, after casting the spell, it will turn into a bowl of rice, which can be eaten to satisfy hunger.
