After Qin Ping'an decided to join the Water Emperor Sect, the head Li Fu personally led Qin Ping'an to the innermost hall of Qingmei Peak.

"This is the Soul Incense Palace, leave your breath on an empty incense candle, this incense candle is the breath of your future existence, the incense is not extinguished, it means that you are still alive. Li Fu stepped into the main hall and pointed in front of him.

Qin Ping'an followed in and saw that in the center of the main hall, the curtain was shrouded, and in the middle was a ladder tower-shaped desk, and seven fire candles were burning.

"What are these seven lamps?" Qin Ping'an looked around curiously, and the hall looked a little dilapidated.

"Hehe, you worship under my door, these people will call you Uncle in the future, they are all disciples of the three elders. Li Fu said with a smile, Li Fu was still very satisfied with his first apprentice, and his eyes were full of kindness.

"What about the other disciples? There are only seven disciples in our Water Emperor Sect?" Qin Ping'an's eyes widened in astonishment, I wiped it, how could I have a feeling of being deceived? There are only seven disciples in a sect? plus the elder head and himself, there are only twelve people?

"Ahem, for cultivators, qualifications are the most important, and there are many disciples who are not refined, and their efforts are useless and delay their cultivation. Li Fu coughed and explained, this apprentice is a little difficult to fool, a ghost.

"Oh, we are teaching in a small class, and we are taking the elite route?" Qin Ping'an understood, and felt that what the head said made sense, this cultivation and immortal asking question is not as good as a private school.

"Well, yes, that's right. Li Fu nodded hurriedly, the apprentice's own explanation was relatively novel, so he quickly wrote it down, maybe he would use it in the future.

"Just put your hand on the blank candle. Li Fu pointed to an unlit candle.

Qin Ping'an stepped forward and put his hand on the candle, and after a while, there was a sound of "horn", and the flame on the candle suddenly ignited, and Qin Ping'an suddenly felt that there was a faint connection with this candle.

Qin Ping'an looked at the burning candle, retreated, and said, "By the way, Master, do we want to have any apprenticeship ceremony?"

"Haha, the ceremony is dispensable for my generation, I recognize you as a disciple, you recognize me as a master, you can just recognize me as a master. Li Fu laughed and said.

"Oh, yes, it doesn't matter if there is a ritual for apprenticeship, anyway, this ritual can't be avoided, and there will be no deception of the teacher and the ancestors in the future. Qin Ping'an saw that Li Fu didn't care about this, so he didn't think about it anymore.

“......”

The corners of Li Fu's mouth couldn't help but pull, aren't you afraid of being beaten up for saying such things in front of you?

Qin Ping'an said again: "Alas, by the way, Master, doesn't our sect have any cleaning chores or anything? I think the main hall is relatively dilapidated along the way, and there are weeds outside the mountain peaks, does this affect the image of the sect?"

"Ahem, leisure, cultivators, don't be obsessed with enjoying external things, as this will corrode your desire to seek the Tao. Li Fu said with a straight face. I also want the sect to have thousands of disciples, and the peaks of the main hall are extravagant and magnificent, but how can there be so much money? How can there be money?

Qin Ping'an glanced at the serious master suspiciously, is it so serious?

"Master, then I have entered the master's door, is there a reward?" Qin Ping'an looked at Li Fu with a cute look on his face.

Li Fuzheng's awe-inspiring face stiffened suddenly, and he immediately flicked his sleeves and said: "Just entered the master's door, laying a good foundation is the key, and when you are on the right path in your cultivation, then you will talk about it, next, you walk around by yourself, familiarize yourself with the environment of Qingmei Peak, and then go to the Shuiyuan Palace, I will wait for you there." ”

Qin Ping'an looked at Li Fu, who suddenly snatched the door, and looked down at his tattered clothes and shoes because of the long distance before?

There are martial arts arenas, water yuan halls, soul incense halls, library pavilions, heavy weapon halls, Fudan halls, and rune halls on Qingmei Peak. Among them, the Shuiyuan Hall is the head Li Fu is in charge, and it is also the main hall of deliberations, the Soul Incense Hall is the storage point of the disciples' incense candles, the Library Pavilion is the various books collected by the elders and heads of the Water Emperor Sect for so many years, and the Heavy Weapon Hall, the Fudan Palace, and the Divine Rune Hall are the three elders sitting in the town.

Qin Ping'an passed by the Heavy Weapon Hall, and felt the extremely high temperature from a long distance, standing at the door and looking inside, he saw the big elder in a short cloth shirt carrying a sledgehammer, tinkling and beating something, very rhythmic. Hey, this great elder looks fat, but he is actually strong, this is a refining weapon, how does it feel a bit like a blacksmith.

In the Fudan Palace, Qin Ping'an saw that the second elder Su He was staring closely at a Dan furnace, and there was a dustpan on the left hand side, which was full of strange medicinal materials, and the second elder picked up a medicinal herb from time to time and threw it into the Dan furnace. Qin Ping'an looked at it for a while, and was overwhelmed by the pungent smell of medicine wafting from the Dan furnace. This is alchemy? How is it like a hodgepodge? Who can bear this taste!

Rune Hall, Qin Ping'an felt that this place was the most normal, the musk in the main hall was curling, a bookcase, the four treasures of the study room were complete, and the third elder Yu Zhouzi's one-armed right hand was copying something.

"Xianyu, how about coming to see my words?" the third elder greeted with a smile when he saw Qin Ping'an coming over.

"Third Elder, excuse me. Qin Ping'an arched his hand and walked in.

"Hehe, since you have entered the door of the senior brother in charge, if you don't dislike teaching me the third uncle, it's okay. Yu Zhouzi, who was dressed in an elegant atmosphere, smiled and lifted the paper on the table for Qin Ping'an to watch.

"One body has fought three thousand miles, and one sword has blocked millions of divisions. Qin Ping'an looked at the calligraphy and suddenly felt a cold sword intent, and the stabbing person's heart swayed, Qin Ping'an hurriedly stabilized his mind, obediently, there is something in this calligraphy and painting.

"Third uncle, this word iron painting silver hook, sharp pen, the momentum of this sword and the pride of facing a million masters alone are contained in it, master is good words, good artistic conception!" Qin Ping'an praised again and again, this one-armed third uncle didn't expect to have such a high attainment in calligraphy.

Yu Zhouzi shook his head and smiled: "Haha, you kid, your mouth is very sweet, this is not written by me, this is a word handed down from the Tianxing Sword Sect before." ”

"Presumably you've also seen the remnants of the Broken Mountain outside of Qingmei Peak, right? Yu Zhouzi sighed, looking at the words in his hand, looking lonely.

Qin Ping'an was silent and didn't say anything, whether it was the Tianxing Sword Sect or the Water Emperor Sect, the atmosphere of decline and decay here could not be covered up no matter what, and the popularity was withering, so it was not the thriving atmosphere that a gate sect should have.

Yu Zhouzi put down the notebook, looked at Qin Ping'an and said seriously: "You actually understand it, the Water Emperor Sect is very poor, the disciples are not accepted, and they are almost coming to an end, the head of the sect has been supporting for many years, but there is still no improvement, spare time, with your qualifications, the sects that are stronger than us will accept you, if you give up, there is still time." ”

Qin Ping'an nodded, and then said, "Can you give me that pair of calligraphy?"

Yu Zhouzi sighed, nodded, put away the notebook, and handed it to Qin Ping'an, although the Water Emperor Sect has fallen to this point, it has not fallen into the truth of deceiving disciples to learn art in any case, and some things are the best.

Qin Ping'an took the notebook, walked out with his hands behind his back, Yu Zhouzi looked at it in a daze, Qin Ping'an had not replied.

"Alas, I know it's late, I'm lazy, and I don't want to change it, Uncle San, thank you for your copy. ”

In the main hall, Yu Zhouzi heard this, chuckled, and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this kid was not mistaken, if he really gave up, the senior brother in charge must not turn his face with himself.

Qin Ping'an walked out of the Rune Palace, looked at the scenery of Qingmei Peak everywhere, and smiled freely, although it was broken here, it was humane, and he deliberately used words to squeeze the head Li Fu, which embarrassed the head of the immortal faction on the mountain, but he still patiently explained to himself, no way, the gentleman treats me with sincerity, I will repay it with sincerity, although I Qin Ping'an is usually very salty, but there are some things, the truth is such a truth, the truth I pursue.

Library Pavilion, a separate small building, Qin Ping'an looked at the library with the door wide open, and pouted, Is this a benefit of poverty? Afraid of people worrying about it? Qin Ping'an walked in, there were rows of bookshelves, stacks of books, it was clean and tidy, Qin Ping'an flipped through it casually.

"Two or three things to cultivate, the basic codex of refining weapons, the illustration of the primary talisman, and the taboo of pills?" Qin Ping'an found that these were all basic books, and there were dense annotations in them, which were obviously often read by people.

"The heart language technique, the heart transmission spell? This is not bad. Qin Ping'an walked around on the first floor, and then went upstairs, most of the books on the second floor were some cultivation experience books.

Upward, on the third floor, Qin Ping'an finally saw some martial arts and books that he couldn't understand, "Sword Water Technique", "Water Prison Technique", "Water Escape Technique", "Treading Cloud Step", "Dan Dao Canon", "Fu Gong Dao Canon", "Fu Gong Dao Canon.....

This third layer is not clear, Qin Ping'an turned around, went downstairs, and picked up "Two or Three Things to Practice" casually, he doesn't know anything about cultivation at the moment, so let's take it from the beginning.

No one managed the library pavilion, Qin Ping'an took the book directly and left, he had visited several halls of Qingmei Peak by himself, poor is serious, holding the book, Qin Ping'an went straight to the Shuiyuan Palace.

Li Fuzheng sat upright in the main hall, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Master, I'm here!" Qin Ping'an stepped into the main hall.

Li Fu opened his eyes and smiled: "Come, change into this clothes, this is the token of the Water Emperor Sect, you have to carry it with you, this is a symbol of status." ”

Qin Ping'an took the token, which was as small as a jade pendant, with a sword carved on it, and the word "Qin" engraved on the back, the token was a little strange. "Thank you, Master!" Qin Ping'an picked up his clothes, Li pointed to the left with his armrest, and Qin Ping'an immediately ran to change his clothes with a smile.

After a while, Qin Ping'an walked out wearing a clean gray suit, the clothes were just the right size, and Qin Ping'an hung the token around his waist.

Li Fu motioned for Qin Ping'an to sit down on the futon in front of him, and Qin Ping'an obediently complied.

Li Fu looked at Qin Ping'an's eyes quietly and asked directly, "Are you disappointed?"

Qin Ping'an shook his head and said with a smile: "It's good, I'm down-to-earth when I'm poor." ”

Master Cheap made himself familiar with Qingmei Peak, obviously with a frank mind, some things, what he saw was more real than what he heard.

"Haha, you stinky boy, you came here in a daze, fate dictates, don't worry, although the sect is in decline, it will not treat you badly, everything in the Water Emperor Sect, as long as you want to learn, I can guarantee to teach you." Li Fu stroked his hair and promised proudly.

Qin Ping'an bowed down and admitted that the old man in front of him regarded him as his master, and the stitches on his clothes were all new, which Li Fu personally sewed for Qin Ping'an.

Rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, Qin Ping'an still understands, poverty is not a problem, maybe you are naturally rich when you are poor?
