Chapter 4: The First Entry into the Immortal Gate (I)

Liu Yiwen was depressed in his heart, and it seemed that his foundation was useless. It feels like a chicken rib, and no sect or party is interested in him. He couldn't help but think of the two partners who had opened the spirit with him, they were probably already practicing the immortal method at this time! I had heard Wen Tao talk about some sword cultivation just now, as long as he could practice the immortal method, it didn't matter which sect he entered. In fact, he is now new to the realm of cultivating immortals, and he can't tell a reason what sect is suitable and what is not.

Hearing this Shen Immortal Master call him, he quickly gathered his thoughts, stepped forward and saluted everyone, "I've seen all Immortal Masters!" and his attitude was quite sincere.

Everyone nodded, and Shen Zhaodong smiled: "Come, stretch out your hand." ”

Liu Yiwen knew that he was testing his immortal base again, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand. Three fingers tapped on his wrist, and gentle energy returned to the jade pool, where it swirled in a multicolored aura. He couldn't help but pray in his heart: Take me, take me!

After a while, Shen Zhaodong withdrew his hand. He touched his beard and said, "Let's go to the Grinding Sword Peak to practice the basic exercises first, and if you meet the conditions of the sect in the future, I will personally guide your cultivation." ”

Liu Yiwen was overjoyed, bowed to the ground, and said: "Thank you, master, please accept the apprentice!", the stone hanging in his heart was finally put down, and he couldn't help but thank God a few words.

Several other people also congratulated them. Immortal Master Xiao looked very happy, and laughed heartily: "So very good!

"Get up!" Shen Zhaodong waved his hand, and an invisible force pushed him up. Then he said: "Now you can only be regarded as my registered disciple, and you can only officially worship my disciple after you have cultivated a small degree. ”

"Yes!" he replied solemnly.

Suddenly, Shen Zhaodong stretched out one hand towards the void, not knowing where to summon a sword. He held the sheath in his left hand and drew the sword with his right hand, his eyes wandering back and forth over the sword. I saw that the sword was cold and uncertain, and it was not ordinary at first glance. After staring at it for a moment, he sheathed it and said, "The name of this sword is 'Zhengang', which is the sword I used in my early years. It's been sealed by me, and now it's a chance to come out of the sheath. I'll give it to you as a gift!"

Liu Yiwen endured the excitement in his heart, hurriedly knelt down and took it with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Master for your generous gift!" This sword is heavy in the hand, and he must not use a little more strength. I thought in my heart: This master is really generous! Suddenly swept away the decadent atmosphere of the past ten days.

Shen Zhaodong had no intention of giving away a sword before. However, there are so many colleagues present, so he has to show the atmosphere of being a master. In addition, Yinjiao's plan has been decided, so he will give away this magic weapon that he can't use now in a good mood.

"Wen Tao will take his junior brother to Mojian Peak to report, take my token and explain it to you, Senior Uncle Ruan. ”

After saying that, an object flew this way. Wen Tao took this thing and reported it with the new junior brother.

Brother Wen Tao used a shuttle-shaped flying magic weapon, and took him to slowly fly towards the Grinding Sword Peak in the distance. This flight speed is really not flattering, only a little faster than walking. It can't be compared to Xiao Immortal Master's flying boat at all. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The difference in the realm is really huge, I don't know how fast the Jindan and Yuan Infant can fly?

After almost a meal, the two of them finally arrived at a large square on the Grinding Sword Peak. A three-zhang wide street paved with bluestone bricks leads straight to the three main halls in front of it. Not far to their left is a three-storey attic with a plaque that reads "Trainee Building".

After entering the door, I saw a square table in the middle of the lobby that was five or six feet square, and some documents and other things were placed on it. Next to it stand two rows of hollow flower cabinets, on which large and small porcelain vases are neatly placed. There were several wooden chairs next to the square table, and a middle-aged man sat on one of the chairs facing the two of them. The man was looking intently at a roll of bamboo slips on the table, not knowing what he was pondering. Behind him stood two young women, who looked like they were supposed to be his disciples. Wen Tao led him to the front, bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Disciple Wen Tao has seen Uncle Ruan!"

"Hmm. The man looked up and said with a faint smile: "Wen Tao is here, is there something wrong?"

The middle-aged man was in his forties, and his appearance was elegant, but his face looked a little pale.

"Uncle Yu, this is the master's newly accepted registered disciple. I was ordered by my master to bring him here to go through the entrance procedures. He pointed to Liu Yiwen beside him and said.

"Yiwen has seen Uncle Ruan!" Liu Yiwen also hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Oh, it doesn't seem like there was an opening ceremony this year?" the man was slightly stunned and cast an inquiring look.

"That's the case...... Wen Tao hurriedly explained the entry process of the little junior brother to this uncle, and handed over the master's token.

"I see, this nephew should come and register. Ruan Shibo said unhurriedly. A female disciple behind him immediately took out a booklet from the bookshelf next to him and handed it over.

After some inquiry, Master Ruan said with a straight face: "From now on, this Chuan Gong Pavilion will be your cultivation place." All resources are free until you are under the age of eighteen. Once you're eighteen years old, you'll need to move out of here, and how you'll be distributed depends on your practice. However, since you are a registered disciple of Senior Brother Shen, as long as you can cultivate to the middle stage of Qi refining, you can be accepted by him. However, the middle stage of Qi refining was by no means as easy as imagined, and many spirit children were not able to reach this realm by the age of eighteen. In the end, they can only do some miscellaneous work in the sect, or simply return to the secular world to live a mortal life. ”

"Disciple follow the teachings of the master!" Liu Yiwen tightened his heart and replied solemnly.

"Well, you guys go get busy!" After speaking, Master Ruan waved his hand, and buried his head in studying his bamboo slips.

Next, the female disciple behind him took him to receive some necessities for getting started. After that, the two went out of the attic.

Wen Tao looked at the somewhat funny little junior brother in front of him and laughed heartily on the side. Liu Yiwen was depressed at this time, it turned out that he received a lot of things after going through the entrance, which made him a little unbearable. The sword that the master had given him just now was not light, and it was even more difficult for him, a ten-year-old boy.

"Senior brother, are you embarrassed to make fun of me, why don't you come and help carry some things!" Liu Yiwen said angrily. After getting along with this new senior brother for a while, I felt that he was a straightforward person, and he was no longer reserved.

"Alas, you'd better practice some spells quickly, or you won't even be able to hold anything, and you'll lose face for us immortals. Then there was another burst of laughter.

Finally suppressed his smile, Senior Brother Wen took out a dark red jade gourd from his body. Liu Yiwen looked at this thing and was a little familiar, wasn't this the old man in the Qingfeng Hall Welcome Building who used it to distribute the "Kailing San"? At that time, it looked quite amazing and he didn't dare to ask more. Now the senior brother is also using it, it seems that this thing is a must-have for immortal cultivators!

I saw that the senior brother was holding a strange magic trick in his hand, and the gourd flew into the air and spewed out a glow of light towards the item in his hand. I saw that the thing in my hand shrank rapidly, and disappeared as soon as I was sucked by the gourd. At this time, he felt lighter and more comfortable. He looked at the gourd with envy on his face.

Senior Brother Wen was even more proud: "Immortals have to use immortal methods, little junior brother, you have to come on!" As soon as he collected the gourd, he led Liu Yiwen towards the three halls in the distance.

"Senior brother, where did this gourd come from, how can I use it?" asked Liu Yiwen. He actually saw that the gourd should be used by the immortals for storage. But how to get it and how to use it is still not clear.

"You've just opened your soul now, and you can't use it without mana. In fact, this storage technique is just the most basic spell, as long as you reach the realm of the early stage of qi refining and have a certain amount of mana, you can use it. And this jade gourd is a space-like magic weapon used to store things in the immortal cultivation realm, and the refining method is not very difficult. However, you generally don't need to refine it yourself, you can buy it directly by going to the 'Treasure Pavilion'. This jade gourd is also divided into different grades, and the corresponding space inside is also different. My red gourd is the lowest level, and the space is also the smallest. Wen Tao explained.

"There is no more space in the red gourd, and the space of the green gourd that is higher than it is more than ten times that of it. There are also blue and purple ones, and there is more space in them. Wen Tao's face was full of yearning.

Liu Yiwen understood the origin of this gourd, and remembered the words that Ruan Shibo mentioned just now that he had to move out of here at the age of eighteen. Puzzled, he asked, "How will we arrange these spirit children after they reach the age of eighteen?"

"Just like what Master Ruan said just now, those who have reached the middle stage of Qi refining will generally be accepted by the seniors of each peak and become official disciples. Those who have not yet reached this realm and are unwilling will most likely take some miscellaneous labor in exchange for cultivation resources. If you are lucky enough to make a breakthrough in cultivation in the process, you will also be included in the door. In addition, those with flexible minds will be arranged to take care of some sect properties in the mortal world, and the rest can only be repatriated to the secular world. ”

The two walked and talked, and after a while they came to the temple gate at the end of the road. The main hall in the middle is slightly higher, and the plaque reads "Chuangong Pavilion" three big characters. On the left and right are two identical secondary halls, and there are two disciples on duty outside.

The two of them came to the front of the main hall, handed over the jade plaque they had just received, and then entered it smoothly. I saw that behind the palace gate was a wide square, with dozens of acres in size, and there were rows of pavilions on both sides. There is also a large hall at the other end of the square, I don't know what it is.

Senior Brother Wen was obviously very familiar with this place, and he pointed to the big hall opposite: "That big hall is where you will practice in the future, and there are schools, dining rooms, heart law pavilions, martial arts halls, book pavilions, and so on. On the left is the girl's house, while the boy is on the right. He looked at the jade plaque in Liu Yiwen's hand and walked towards the pavilion on the right with him.

Passing through the wall door, there are neatly arranged houses inside, and I don't know how many there are. They walked down the middle passageway, occasionally encountering several boys about his size. After coming to the third row of houses and walking through the six rooms, Senior Brother Wen stopped. There is a wooden plaque hanging on the door of the house in front of him, on which are written with two words, one large and one small, "Xuan" and "Geng".

"This is it, you put the jade plaque on it and try it. Senior Brother Wen casually returned the jade plate to him.

He took the jade plaque as he said and stretched out his hand to put it on the door. I saw the glow flash, and with a "creak", the door opened inward.

"Put it away, this is your future identity jade card. As long as it is within this sect, whether it is cultivation or collaring, including entering and exiting this house, it is all needed. The senior brother explained.

This room is not too large, in addition to a living room, there are two rooms. Senior Brother Wen took out the red gourd and took out the items he had received. After a few more words, he returned to Yuquan Mountain to resume his life, and when he left, he confessed that he would come to see him when he had the opportunity.

Liu Yiwen naturally thanked him and sent the enthusiastic senior brother away. After he calmed down alone, he walked around the room casually, and after a little tidying up, he lay on the bed in a daze. Tossed all the way from Xia County School, he finally settled down. This is his new home, and he must cultivate hard in the future and become an immortal like a master. After thinking about it like this for a while, he fell asleep, and it seemed that he was indeed tired in the past few days.

Early the next morning he cleaned up himself as he pleased, and went to the dining room in the north apse. Although he has enlightened the spirit, he has not yet opened the valley, so he still has to eat. This immortal cultivator's demand for food is getting lower and lower as the realm improves, and there is no feeling of hunger if he doesn't eat for a day after enlightenment, and there is no discomfort if he doesn't eat for three or five days in the early stage of qi refining, and when he enters the condensation period, he can completely get rid of the shackles of food, and occasionally take some water. There are also some immortal cultivators who have not yet arrived at the condensate to prepare some Bigu pills in order to save trouble, and taking one pill when they are hungry can also save the trouble of eating.

He casually drank most of the bowl of porridge and ate two steamed buns. It was still early in the morning, and he was free to move around the apse, where there were boys of his age. Once he was almost familiar with the environment of the apse, he walked towards the school.

The school is a place dedicated to teaching the basic knowledge of cultivating immortals, and it is a must-learn place for every boy who is just getting started. He quickened his pace and came to a large hall five or six zhang high, which was boxy, with one door on each side of the south, east and west. On the wall next to the temple gate was a conspicuous poster, below which seven or eight boys were pointing and saying something. His heart moved, and he also stepped forward to see what was going on.

I saw that there was a dense list of some time and courses on it. These courses have everything: there are those who talk about the theory of the five elements, the history of cultivating immortals, the practice of acupuncture points, the theory of magic, the rules of the door, the race, the basic spells, the cultivation of immortal runes, the basic swordsmanship... The abundance of dazzling food opened his eyes. To his surprise, there are also those who specialize in literacy and paraphrasing. However, after a little thought, he understood that it was not unusual for these spirit children to be young and illiterate.

After looking at it for a while, remembering a few subjects that he was currently interested in, he walked in the door. The inside is very spacious, and there are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls around it, and there are some introductions to books or schools on them. On the north side of a pulpit, about three feet high, there was only one table and one chair, and nothing else. Hundreds of futons were neatly arranged below, and at this time there were already many children sitting cross-legged near the pulpit. Liu Yiwen found a futon at random and sat down like them.
