In Wucheng in the dark night, there was no one on the street, it was very quiet.

Shi Peng didn't seem to want to break this quietness, and when he entered Wucheng, he stopped saying anything. Shi Peng didn't speak, Chang Shan was thinking about what Shi Peng said just now, and he didn't speak.

The two walked quietly, until they came to the street where Yanwutai was located, and Chang Shan asked, "Your sect shouldn't be far from Yanwutai, right?"

"Brother Chang, have you noticed that stargazing platform?

"Stargazing Observatory?"

More than 200 zhang away from the west of Yanwutai, there is a four-sided high platform of one hundred and seventy or eighty zhang high, this four-sided high platform is the highest building in Wucheng, Chang Shan paid attention to it when he entered Wucheng, and also thought that the location of the high platform is the location of the Wuzong sect.

Chang Shan was a little curious about the role of the stargazing platform, but he didn't ask Shi Peng.

After a while, the two came to the front of the Martial Sect.

The gate of the Wuzong sect is not more imposing than the gate of the Xiongcheng Wangjia Manor, and the only thing that attracts attention is the two stone statues in front of the gate.

Generally speaking, the stone statues in front of the mansion are paired, but the two stone statues in front of the gate of the Wuzong sect are not paired, one is a tiger and the other is a leopard.

Shi Peng was clever, and when he saw Chang Shan's gaze lingering on the two stone statues for a moment, he smiled and said: "The tiger represents bravery, the leopard represents strength and skill, and bravery, strength, and ingenuity are the three things that a person who practices martial arts must have." ”

Explaining with a smile, Shi Peng nodded to the four Martial Sect disciples guarding the gate, and then said to Chang Shan: "Let's go in!"

"Hmm!"

Entering the Wang Family Manor, Chang Shan felt an unreal luxury, and when he entered the Martial Sect, Chang Shan felt a kind of heaviness and atmosphere.

Walking through a large martial arts arena, passing through a row of palace-like buildings, and walking through a rockery, Chang Shan followed Shi Peng to a small courtyard.

There are no flowers and plants in the small courtyard, only a fragrant cedar tree.

Fragrant fir is a very rare cedar tree, which grows very slowly, and it is said that it is an inch in ten years. The strange fragrance emitted by the fragrant cedar that is more than a thousand years old has the power of nourishing the gods, which is very rare in the entire cultivation world.

"This cedar has been growing for 3,000 years!"

"Not three thousand years, but eight thousand years. ”

"Eight thousand years?"

Shi Peng nodded and said with a smile: "The fragrant fir will not grow again when it grows to three zhang, and the height of the three-thousand-year-old fragrant fir is the same as that of the eight-thousand-year-old fragrant fir tree." ”

After a slight pause, Shi Peng then smiled and said, "Brother Chang, you use the power of the Yuan Shen to probe the heart of this fragrant cedar!"

"Tree Heart?"

Chang Shan was stunned for a moment, and with the power of the Yuan Shen, he probed a purple crystal less than an inch long, the thickness of his fingers, and exuding strange spiritual power in the middle of the main trunk of the fragrant cedar.

Without waiting for Chang Shan to ask, Shi Peng explained with a smile: "Just like many spirit grasses have a maturity period, fragrant fir also has a maturity period of three thousand years. After a fragrant fir tree has grown for 3,000 years, the heart of the fragrant fir tree will give birth to a purple crystal called fragrant soul wood. After 30,000 years, the Fragrant Soul Wood will devour the vitality of the fragrant cedar, and the fragrant soul wood will fully grow, and the fragrant cedar will die at this time. ”

"It turns out that the incense soul wood is the heart of the fragrant cedar!"

"Brother Chang has heard of the Fragrant Soul Wood?"

Chang Shan nodded and said with a smile: "It is said that the purple hairpins on the heads of those princesses of the royal family and the royal family are all carved from fragrant soul wood. ”

Shi Peng nodded and said with a smile: "Not all the purple hairpins on the heads of the royal family and princesses of the royal family are carved from fragrant soul wood, and not all women with fragrant soul wood hairpins on their heads are princesses of the royal family and royal family. In addition to the effect of warming and nourishing the spirit, the fragrant soul wood hairpin is more regarded as a status symbol. ”

"Like a storage ring?"

Shi Peng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes! It's like a storage ring!"

In the cultivation world, storage rings are not a rare thing, and only cultivators of those forces at the bottom of the cultivation world, such as the Earth Spirit Sect, will use storage rings as a status symbol.

"Brother Chang, let's go in!"

"Hmm!"

Chang Shan nodded and walked towards the door of the room with Shi Peng.

As soon as Shi Peng pushed open the door, a girl in Tsing Yi flashed to the door.

The girl in Tsing Yi looks sixteen or seventeen years old, her complexion is slightly dark, and her appearance is not beautiful, but at a glance, it is easy to make people feel good.

"Young Master!"

The girl in Tsing Yi shouted at Shi Peng, then glanced at Chang Shan, her face turned slightly red, and she stepped aside.

"This is Xiang'er!"

After Shi Peng said the name of the girl in Tsing Yi with a smile, he said to the girl in Tsing Yi: "Xiang'er, this is Chang Gongzi." ”

"Chang Gongzi!"

Xiang'er looked at Chang Shan and bowed, and then took her eyes off Chang Shan, as if she was avoiding Chang Shan's gaze.

Chang Shan glanced at Shi Peng a little strangely, and nodded at Xiang'er.

"Xiang'er, go prepare some wine and food. ”

"Oh!"

Xiang'er answered, walked to the back wall of the living room, and left the living room through a small door.

"Xiang'er is timid, don't be surprised by Brother Chang. ”

When Chang Shan heard this, he shook his head with a smile, said a few polite words to Shi Peng, and sat down separately.

After the guest host sat down, Shi Peng asked Chang Shan, "Brother Chang came to Wucheng specifically to watch the martial arts meeting?"

Chang Shan shook his head and replied with a smile: "Chang was just passing by Wucheng, and I heard that there was a martial arts conference in Wucheng, and I wanted to see it, so I stayed in Wucheng for three months. ”

"Oh!"

Shi Peng nodded, hesitated, and then asked, "Dare to ask where Brother Chang plans to go?"

Without waiting for Chang Shan to reply, Shi Peng immediately said: "If it is inconvenient for Brother Chang to say, then it should be that Shi did not ask." ”

Chang Shan said with a smile: "Chang Mou doesn't actually have any special destination, he just wants to go to the Gaochang Dynasty to find a trip, and by the way, see if those forces are willing to let Chang Mou go to their star array to cultivate." ”

"Brother Chang is a casual cultivator?"

"Hmm!"

Shi Peng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chang Shan and said, "Brother Chang join the Martial Sect! Within the Martial Sect, there are a total of thirty-seven earth-attribute star arrays. ”

"Join the Martial Sect?"

Chang Shan hesitated for a moment, shook his head and replied: "Brother Shi's kindness, Chang Mou understands it." It's just that Chang is used to being free and doesn't want to join any sect. ”

After hesitating for a while, Chang Shan took a deep breath, looked at Shi Peng, who looked disappointed, and continued: "Chang Mou has just passed through the formation path, if your sect can let Chang Mou cultivate in your sect's star array, Chang Mou can do his best to refine some of the array flags that your sect needs." ”

After saying this, Chang Shan's face turned red, obviously with a hint of embarrassment.

If it weren't for the fact that he was thinking about improving his strength quickly, Chang Shan really didn't want to make a deal with the Martial Sect who might not need his small formation cultivation at all when he had just rejected Shi Peng.

Shi Peng was silent for a moment, then looked at Chang Shan and asked, "What kind of star power did Brother Chang cultivate in the Orange Pill Stage?

"The power of the dragon elephant!"

"There are five star arrays in the Martial Sect that cultivate the power of the dragon elephant, which should be able to meet the needs of Brother Chang. Wait until tomorrow when Lin Hai and Zhu Ming hold a ceremony to enter the sect, and I will take you to my master to discuss this matter. ”

Chang Shan's face was overjoyed, and he arched his hand at Shi Peng and said, "Thank you Brother Shi for that!"

Shi Peng shook his head with a smile and replied, "Between friends, don't be so polite. ”

Chang Shan's heart warmed, and he said secretly: "Joining the Martial Sect may also be a good choice." ”

Thinking of joining the Martial Sect, Chang Shan thought of the attitude of the Earth Spirit Sect towards Shang Yun and him back then. Chang Shan also knew that not all sect masters were as ruthless and unrighteous as Huang Tianzhong, but his experience back then made him very resistant to joining a certain force. Therefore, although he felt that Shi Peng was a friend who could be deeply made and that joining the Martial Sect was a good choice, he was still reluctant to join the Martial Sect.

Just when the two of them were silent, Xiang'er returned to the living room with wine and food.

After Xiang'er put the wine and food on the table, Shi Peng said to Xiang'er: "You can also sit down!"

Xiang'er glanced at Chang Shan, shook her head, and said softly, "No!"

When Shi Peng heard this, he was not reluctant, picked up the wine glass and drank it with Chang Shan.

After drinking three glasses in a row, Chang Shan suddenly remembered Dong Lin, so he took out the wine glass that Dong Lin gave him, and talked about the relationship between him and Dong Lin back then.

After listening to Chang Shan's words, Shi Peng smiled and said: "This Brother Dong is a wonderful person! If there is a chance in the future, Shi will definitely visit him and see the other six Phantom Cloud Cups." ”

After drinking a pot of wine, Shi Peng smiled and said, "Brother Chang, do you want to see the entrance gift of the disciples of the Martial Sect?"

"Can Chang go to the ceremony?"

"Of course!"

After a few more jokes, Shi Peng took Chang Shan to the study and said with a smile: "Brother Chang will rest here tonight!"

"Thank you!"

"No thanks!"

After a few polite sentences, Shi Peng left the study.

There were a lot of paper books in the study, Chang Shan glanced at them, didn't look through them, walked directly to the bed, sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed.

As soon as the sky was bright, Shi Peng's voice sounded outside.

Chang Shan opened the door, exchanged a few polite words with Shi Peng, and then followed Shi Peng out of Shi Peng's residence.

The place where the disciple entrance ceremony was held in the Martial Sect was in the main hall opposite the main gate of the Martial Sect. When Chang Shan and Shi Peng came to the gate of the main hall, there were already many martial arts disciples gathered at the entrance of the main hall. These martial arts disciples were all in the Hongdan period, and when they saw Shi Peng, they all called Shi Peng their senior brother.

Shi Peng greeted these people and introduced Chang Shan to a few martial arts disciples who had a good relationship with him.

When the time came, the Sect Master of the Martial Sect and more than sixty disciples of the Martial Sect appeared in front of the main hall.

After the main hall was opened, the Martial Sect Sect Master and the Martial Sect disciples he brought and the Martial Sect disciples who had gathered outside the main hall before walked into the main hall one after another.

Entering the main hall, Shi Peng said to Chang Shan: "The Martial Sect attaches great importance to the entry of new disciples, so every time a new disciple enters, except for the people who are in the middle of the retreat, all the disciples will come to watch the ceremony. ”

Chang Shan nodded, glanced at everyone in the main hall, and set his eyes on Zhu Ming and Lin Hai, Lin Hai was the yellow-clothed man who advanced at the martial arts meeting.

There is not much difference between the entrance ceremony of the Wuzong and the entrance ceremony of Chang Shan when he joined the Earth Spirit Sect, which is the steps of worshipping ancestors, apprenticing to teachers, offering tea, and swearing.

After completing the initiation ceremony, Zhu Ming and Lin Hai became official disciples of Wuzong.
