At this moment, the road they walked was built along the beach, the clear undulating water, only less than ten zhang away from them, the road in front of them was still winding, the mountains undulated, like a pair of slender arms embraced this bend of the sea, forming a natural calm bay.

There are not only ten of the rookie disciples who have come here, on the contrary, there are quite a lot of rookie disciples who have been led by senior brothers like Su He and others, and it seems that many of them have arranged to live here.

Su He took Shen Shi and the others to a place in the middle of the bay, at this time those houses have been exposed in front of the young people, almost all the houses are exactly the same, glazed green tiles and white walls, divided into front and back two entrances, the front is actually a small courtyard with flowers and trees, although the area is not large, but it has its own elegant style, which makes people feel peaceful; 。

There was a stone gate in front of each cave, the door was closed, and the number of words was engraved on it, Su He led them to a cave with "Jia 40" written on it, and said: "From here, from Jia 40 to Jia 49, these ten caves are where the ten of you live." After a pause, he pointed to the stone door again, and saw that on the heavy stone door, which was obviously hewn from a whole large stone, a round roulette wheel was inlaid in the middle, and the gossip array was engraved on it, and there were faint clouds flowing slowly.

"After you pass, take out your cloud talisman and paste it here, and this 'gossip lock' will recognize the master, and from then on, except for you who can use the cloud talisman to open the stone door of the cave, no one else, including me, will be able to enter. ”

Shen Shi and the others all widened their eyes, looking at the gossip lock on the stone door, except for the formation pattern being a little complicated, it didn't seem to have anything special, they didn't expect it to be so useful.

Su He smiled slightly and beckoned to them, "Now which of you will try?"

As soon as the words fell, Sun You, who was standing next to Shen Shi, jumped out, with an excited face, and said, "I'm coming, I'm coming." ”

Saying that, he ran quickly to the stone gate, took out the cloud talisman from his arms, and cautiously approached the gossip lock, next to Shen Shi and the others were all watching carefully, and there seemed to be no change at first, Sun You was a little stunned, turned his head to look at Su He, Su He shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's tight." ”

Sun You laughed and sent the cloud talisman forward, but this time it was directly pressed on the gossip lock, and sure enough, a moment later, a cloud qi flickered on the cloud talisman, and the gossip lock seemed to be stimulated by something, and it also slowly rotated. In front of everyone's eyes, those complicated gossip formations actually flowed, and began to rearrange the order at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time made a low and subtle snapping sound, and it didn't take long for the sound to fall silent, and after the word "Sun You" faintly appeared in the center of the gossip lock, it quickly disappeared.

Then, there was a low rumbling sound at the foot of the stone gate, and the entire stone gate slowly retreated to the side, revealing a spacious and bright cave.

Sun You cheered, laughed, and was the first to run in, and everyone was also curious, including the Zhong sisters, who didn't care about the previous quarrel with Sun You at this moment, and followed Su He and the others in, looking curiously at the cave behind the stone gate.

This cave is excavated on the mountain, and the walls around it can be seen are hard gray rock, but the repair is very smooth, and the skylight is opened to let the sun shine, so the cave does not look dark and cold, but very bright and comfortable.

Tables, chairs and mattresses are all complete, especially on the wall on the side of the cave, three layers of stone frames have been dug directly on the stone wall, of course, they are all empty at the moment, but after a long cultivation time in the future, there must be many things to be placed here, such as some spiritual materials and things, it seems that the predecessors who built these caves were very thoughtful.

Su He stood in the cave mansion, let these excited and curious teenagers look around for a while, and then called them over, gathered at the only table in the room, and smiled: "Okay, your cave mansion will be like this later, and you will have time to see it later." There are a few more important things to do, and I'll tell you about them first. ”

The young men saw that his face became solemn for the first time, and they immediately gathered to listen honestly, only to hear Su He point to an iron box placed on the table at some point, and said, "Each of you has already placed such an iron box on the cave table in advance. There are two sets of outer disciple uniforms in the box, a sketch of the six islands of the herring fish, and a brief description of Ling Xiao, on which are the rules of the sect and some rough situations of the sect today, all of which are clearly written. Ladies and sisters, I would like to solemnly remind you once again that this sect is a famous sect that has been inherited for thousands of years, and the door rules are the most strict, although the cultivation on weekdays seems to be relaxed, but some things that are prohibited by the door rules must not be violated, otherwise they will be punished lightly, and they will be expelled from the door wall at the worst, and they will not be merciful, but understand?"

Shen Shi and the others were shocked in their hearts, and they all nodded in agreement.

Su He smiled slightly, his expression slowed down, and said: "All of you junior brothers and sisters are all gifted, otherwise you can't have such an immortal fate to worship the sect, and if you cultivate well in the future, the avenue can be expected." ”

After saying this kind words, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "In addition, there is also a spirit crystal in the box, a 'Star Luo Gong' exercise formula, this is the most basic practice of this sect, and it is also the foundation of your cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm, from tomorrow for seven consecutive days, Senior Brother Wang Gen will tell and teach Star Luo Gong in the 'Morning Star Palace' on the island, you all have to go, this is a rare opportunity." After these seven days, if you want to enter the Morning Star Hall in the future, you will have to pay the spirit crystal to enter. ”

"Huh?" The teenagers didn't know why, and a teenager next to him asked directly, "Senior Brother Su, why is this?"

Su He smiled and said: "The Morning Star Hall was built by the ancestor of this sect with great magical powers in the place where the spiritual energy of the island is most prosperous, and His Royal Highness secretly arranges a wonderful large array, which can collect and purify the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and cultivate in the Morning Star Palace, which can increase the cultivation speed of the monks of the Qi Refining Realm by one percent." ”

"I see. The young people were talking one after another, but Shen Shi thought of something, and couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, didn't you say that our human race can only absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth from the spirit crystal, then we can't absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth gathered in the Morning Star Palace, how can we increase our cultivation speed?"

Su He was stunned for a moment, obviously also stopped by this question, and thought for a while before saying: "I don't know much about this, but the seniors and senior brothers who have cultivated in the Morning Star Hall in the past generations all have such feelings, and it must not be fake." Maybe...... Is it because the spiritual energy in the Morning Star Hall is vigorous, and it is somewhat beneficial and can allow us to absorb more spiritual power from the spirit crystal?"

All the young people nodded one after another, and it seemed that they all agreed with this speculation, although Shen Shi was still a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, Ling Xiao Sect is such a famous sect, all kinds of magical methods are incredible, a small hall that is only for the Qi Refining Realm is beneficial, what is strange, and he quickly left this idea behind.

Seeing that everything was almost explained, Su He let out a sigh of relief, then looked at these teenagers, smiled, and said, "Okay, now is the last thing." ”

Shen Shi saw that his expression was solemn again, and there was something strange, but he saw Su He take out a strange thing from his arms, which looked like a birdcage, but the cage was not big and there was no bird in it, but there was a small animal lying on his stomach looking lazy, looking at this shape, it looked like a gray-skinned toad.

Su He's face was straight, and he said: "Patriarch Cen Huaiyuan, the real person in charge of the sect, has taken over the position of the sect thirty years ago, and for the centennial plan of the sect, he has brought up the discovery of the true talents among the new disciples, and has set up an iron law of the door rules: all new disciples who enter the sect to practice, during the first five years of the Qingyu Six Islands, everyone is not allowed to bring spirit crystals into the island by themselves, in the hope that all disciples can discover true talents and heroes after fair cultivation." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the gray-skinned toad in the cage in his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Everyone, please lean over one by one, unless you have the kind of mustard seed bag, Qiankun bag and other magic equipment that can only be used when you have cultivated to the Ning Yuan Realm, otherwise, it is impossible to escape this feeling of 'Crystal Swallowing Toad' who naturally loves to devour spirit crystals." ”

Shen Shideng was stunned, he did still have a spirit crystal on him, it was when he was separated from his father in Xilu City, Yinzhou, Shen Tai gave it to him, and the day before yesterday, he bought that small jar in Liuyun City and spent one, and now there are two left, I didn't expect that when I got here, Lingxiao Sect actually had this kind of rule.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Shen Shi was more happy than worried, he came in a hurry, although he had spirit crystals on his body, they were pitiful, but Sun You and Zhong Qinglu and other children from local families were completely different, it is conceivable that without this rule, the spirit crystals that they could obtain from the children who were valued by their own family were almost uncontrollable.

The so-called cultivation, to a certain extent, depends on the number of spirit crystals, and then the level of talent of each person, with this layer of family background, it is not fair enough, and it is difficult to see the true level of talent of everyone. Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao Sect's current Cen Huaiyuan real person had such foresight and courage to set such rules, at least in the most critical first five years, all the new disciples began to cultivate in a generally fair situation.

It's just that...... While Shen Shi was overjoyed, he also quietly thought in his heart, although this rule was good, he was afraid that Cen Huaiyuan Cen Zhenren would definitely offend many of the great families under the Lingxiao Sect to death, after all, this rule was clearly aimed at these vassal families. But then Shen Shi smiled slightly, and shook off this useless thought, who is that?

That's the real person in charge of the Lingxiao Sect today, and he is a well-known top figure in the cultivation realm all over the world, so he probably won't care about the reaction of some big families, right?

Well, it should be like this, Shen Shi stepped forward after such a thought passed through his mind, took out the only two spirit crystals on his body, and put them on the table, at the same time, when the crystal swallowing toad in the cage approached, his body suddenly moved, as if he felt something, and slowly opened his eyes.

(Two shifts a day has lasted so long...... It feels like a long time.)
