Chapter 440: Bodhi
Taking advantage of everyone's sword selection, Duan San said again: "As for the inner disciples, they have special privileges, the canteen will provide food for free, and the spirit stones you collect will be used as currency, and you can go to Baibaotang, Trading Tower, and other places to buy suitable spirit runes, magic weapons or weapons." In addition, you can also participate in a special training camp hosted by the masters of the sect once in the morning and once in the evening! Well, as for other benefits, you can go to the Cold Moon Pavilion for detailed consultation, anyway, this door will definitely not treat you badly!"
When Ling Cheng, Ling Cong and other inner disciples heard this, they were secretly happy in their hearts, and their faces were naturally very proud.
Duan San took out some small sword-shaped badges and gave them to many rookie disciples to wear on their chests. The inner disciples wore silver badges, the outer disciples wore brass badges, and the lowest-level registered disciples were gray and black.
It is said that only those who have become the highest-ranking personal disciple are eligible to wear the Golden Sword Badge.
Finally, Duan San warned again: "You don't have the 'Beast Destroying Card' on you, if you see a mountain protection spirit beast, you must stay away." Wherever there are spirit beasts, there are warning signs on the mountain, and you just have to take a detour. In addition, in the cave on the south side of Hanyue Mountain, the spirit stone resources are the most abundant, and there are many precious herbs nearby, which can be picked at will! Not long ago, a junior disciple collected an ice lotus fruit suitable for refining the three-turn spirit pill over there, and sold it to a senior uncle, earning a lot of benefits!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes flashed, hoping that they would have good luck later.
After the lecture was finished, everyone dispersed in a hurry and went to collect spirit stones.
Led by Young Master Yong, he led Ling Zhen, Ling Wei, Crow, Tie Niu, Yue Que and others, giggling and haha, towards the south of Hanyue Mountain. Ling Cheng and Ling Cong were self-contained inner disciples. disdained to walk with Yong Gongzi, and was afraid of being retaliated against by the Lion Hall and others, but he took other Lingyue sect disciples and chose another mountain road.
Yong Gongzi and the others walked for a long time, and came to the mountain to the south, and saw that many disciples were coming in and out of a large cave. Each held a black iron sword in his hand, smashing and slashing towards the hard mountain wall, collecting spirit stones.
In the bamboo basket behind them, there are small pale green stones, no need to ask, it is naturally the spirit stone that Duan San said. Judging from their situation, smashing the mountain stone with a black iron sword seems to have a spirit stone inside, and it looks like it is not much different from the workers digging and mining.
It's just that the workers use shovels and shovels for mining. The spirit stone is excavated in the Spirit Sword Gate, but the black iron sword is used uniformly.
These disciples had a lot of dust on their clothes, and the black iron sword had already cracked countless gaps, and it was obvious that they had been involved in collecting spirit stones for a long time.
When many disciples saw the arrival of a newcomer, they all cast curious eyes, and when they saw Ling Wei, who was like a flower and jade, their eyes lit up. When he saw the silver sword badge on her chest, he knew that she was an inner disciple with a rich spiritual root. Suddenly he showed surprise again.
A disciple shouted towards the cave: "Senior Brother Guochuan, a rookie is here!"
"Wait!" came a rough shout from inside the cave.
Inside the Great Cave. Walking out of a big man with white skin and acne on his face, seeing Yong Gongzi and others, he smiled and beckoned: "You newcomers, come here." We're short of manpower right now, so come and help!"
Young Master Yong walked over and asked, "This senior brother, what are you helping with?"
The acne man was stunned, and said, "You still need to ask." Of course, it's to collect spirit stones! This cave has been dug up with high-grade spirit stones, and the resources are very rich, and now I have gathered more than 30 junior disciples to mine here, but the yield is still not enough. You newcomers don't have anywhere to go anyway, so why don't you join my Chen Haoran's team!"
After a pause, Chen Haoran patted his chest again and promised: "I, Chen Haoran, have never bullied newcomers, you can rest assured of this! The spirit stones collected will definitely be distributed to you according to the amount, if you go to the cave controlled by other senior brothers, I am afraid that it will not be better than me!"
He wore a brass-colored sword badge on his chest, and it seemed that he also belonged to the outer disciples.
Yong Gongzi looked at Chen Haoran intently, and saw that although his face was ugly, he had a heroic spirit in his bones, and he had a good appetite, thinking that he had just arrived, and it would be beneficial and harmless to communicate with the original Lingjian Sect disciples, so he said: "Then we will join Senior Brother Guochuan's team, please take care of him in the future!"
Chen Haoran laughed and said, "Okay, this junior brother, what's your name?"
Yong Gongzi said truthfully.
Chen Haoran asked again: "Senior Brother Yonggongzi, how many of you, what level of cultivation have you reached?"
Yong Gongzi didn't hide it either, and said, "Not long ago, I broke through to the third level, refining bones. ”
Ling Zhen and the others glanced at each other, and also reported their realm to Chen Haoran.
Chen Haoran said happily: "Not bad, not bad! Having this kind of cultivation at a young age is much better than when I was back then! However, I have been cultivating in the Spirit Sword Sect for a long time, collecting spirit stones for ten years, and finally broke through to the fifth level of the 'Yi Pulse' three months ago, but my skill is a little higher than yours!"
Yong Gongzi said, "You have been collecting spirit stones for ten years?"
Chen Haoran said with a smile: "Ten years is not a long time, and there are many senior brothers who have collected for thirty or fifty years! Unless you can cultivate to surpass the Seven Heavens of the Mortal Realm and reach the level of the Spirit Realm, it is possible to follow the teachers to learn the Immortal Method, and you don't have to collect spirit stones outside every day." Hehe, don't worry, you also have talented senior brothers, who have broken through to the spiritual realm within five years of entering the world and got rid of these damn black iron swords! Perhaps, if I cultivate for another ten or eight years, I will have a chance!"
Under the leadership of Chen Haoran, Yong Gongzi and others walked into the cave.
The cave is spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
There are many disciples in it, most of them are outer disciples and registered disciples, and there are also a few inner disciples. They were wielding black iron swords, slashing through the mountain wall with a unique technique, making a clanging sound. In a moment, the iron sword shattered the rock, and a pale green spirit stone appeared in the cracked mountain wall.
Young Master Yong asked curiously, "Senior Brother Guochuan, what is the use of collecting spirit stones?"
"Scared, I don't even know this?" Chen Haoran was a little surprised, his eyes rolled, and he still explained, "Spirit Stone, as the name suggests." It is the stone that contains spiritual power in it! Collected, people who know magic can refine the spiritual power in the stone, and use it for refining treasures, refining soldiers, refining talismans, refining medicines, etc., which is very versatile. Don't look at the small pieces of spirit stones that don't have much effect, but once you collect more. The spiritual power inside has accumulated a lot, and its value is also immeasurable! You must know that the source of the power of the immortals is the infinite spiritual power between this heaven and earth. In our Spirit Sword Sect, spirit stones are basically used as currency, and a lowest-grade low-grade spirit stone will be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, and middle-grade spirit stones and high-grade spirit stones are much more expensive. With them, in addition to exchanging for meal tickets. You can also go to the White Treasure Hall and the Trading Tower to buy the elixir and the spirit rune! Hehe, now you know how important the spirit stone is, right?"
Yong Gongzi said: "So that's the case. The next grade spirit stone will have to buy a hundred taels of silver, which is really not cheap!"
Chen Haoran didn't dwell much on this topic, waved the black iron sword in his hand twice, and said with a smile: "Every time a newcomer arrives, there will be a senior brother who will guide them in swordsmanship and explain how to use the black iron sword to collect spirit stones and carry out basic cultivation. A few of you. This time, I, Chen Haoran, will guide you! But if you have good results in the future, don't forget to report to the elders. Give me a credit for that!"
After that, Chen Haoran danced the black iron sword, whirring in the wind, and shouted: "The Spirit Sword Sect is named after the sword, and the disciples in the sect must of course be proficient in the way of the sword! Look!"
The black iron sword in Chen Haoran's hand was quickly handed out, and it slashed a few times on the hard mountain wall, and with a bang, a small pit exploded on the stone wall, and a few finger-sized spirit stones fell out.
Take back your sword. Chen Haoran said happily: "That's it! If you don't understand, just come and ask me, or ask other senior brothers." Everyone uses this set of 'Spirit Picking Sword Technique' to collect spirit stones, which is not bad in terms of mortal level, but it is not very good in the immortal path, but if you practice it, it will naturally help you improve your skills and break through the Seven Heavens of the Mortal Realm!
Yong Gongzi and the others responded, and according to the method Chen Haoran said, they used a black iron sword to chop the mountain wall, and practiced the sword while collecting spirit stones.
Yong Gongzi and the others were not low-talented, and they quickly mastered the flexible use of swordsmanship, and it didn't take long for them to split the mountain wall and dig out the spirit stone inside. Ling Wei cheered, looking the most happy.
Young Master Yong smiled at Ling Zhen and the others: "Although it's a little boring, but cultivation is like this, let's practice swords with your heart! It's rare to join the Spirit Sword Immortal Sect, and you must not lose the face of our Ling Yue faction!"
Everyone was very convinced of Yong Gongzi, and they cheered up at the moment, worked hard to practice swords, and collected spirit stones.
Yong Gongzi practiced sword splitting stones, and the remnant axe on his back immediately activated his ability, becoming heavier and heavier, making him much more difficult than others with every sword he swung. Yong Gongzi has long been accustomed to heavy cultivation, and he doesn't care, but secretly rejoices, and now he is practicing this introductory "Spirit Picking Sword Technique" with his heart.
Time passed quickly, and at dusk, there was a loud bell in the distance.
Chen Haoran stopped Yong Gongzi and the others, and said with a smile: "The bell for dinner has ringed, today's spirit stone collection is over, let's go to the cafeteria to eat first!"
He looked down at the dozen or so spirit stones collected by Yong Gongzi and the others, shook his head and said, "This amount can only be exchanged for a few steamed buns, but it is normal for you to be new here!
Chen Haoran had the intention to envelop a few people, so he generously lent out some meal tickets. Yong Gongzi and the others wanted to fill their stomachs, but they were not polite, so they accepted the meal tickets.
Chen Haoran admonished again: "Remember, you must be patient outside, don't cause trouble, unless it is an emergency that threatens your life, otherwise I, Chen Haoran, will never take the risk of standing up for you!
Yong Gongzi smiled: "Don't worry, as long as others don't mess with me, I promise not to mess with him!"
Chen Haoran's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "This kind of mentality is not good, even if others provoke you, you must endure it! In the Spirit Sword Sect, strength represents everything, and the elders and uncles will definitely only favor the strong disciples! Our team, among the seventh generation disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, only belongs to the second- and third-rate level, and it is still honest to collect spirit stones, and it is better to protect yourself!"
He cautioned, as if he was very jealous of other disciples, afraid of getting into trouble.
Yong Gongzi responded casually and didn't take his words to heart.
Chen Haoran led the way, Yong Gongzi and others followed, walked through two mountains, and went straight to the canteen of Lingjian Gate.
Along the way, there are many Taoist temples and spirit pavilions of the Lingjian Gate, which are scattered high and low, and they are distributed in the mountains. Look away. Each of them is a towering and majestic building, even compared to the palace courtyard.
The crowd was amazed and amazed. In their hearts, the Ling Yue Sect's mansion was already very good, but compared to these splendid attics of the Spirit Sword Sect. But it's not even a fart.
Chen Haoran laughed and said: "The Immortal Dao Sect usually has dozens or hundreds of mortal sects that are supported all year round, and there is absolutely no shortage of silver. What you're seeing now is just the tip of the glacier. The really powerful ones are the five major pavilions such as the Red Lotus Pavilion and the Huangquan Pavilion, which are even more dazzling than the Imperial Palace! Later, you will always have a chance to see them!"
Yue Que asked, "Senior Brother Guochuan, under the head of the family, is it the five pavilion masters who have the most power?"
Chen Haoran said: "Of course! The second is the five pavilion masters, then the elders' council, the Dharma protector, the sect leader, etc., and then below, it is the highest status of the personal disciple! Hehe, if you become a personal disciple, then if you enter the 'Danding Realm' of the fifth layer of the spiritual realm, it can be regarded as hopeful!"
As he spoke, his eyes naturally showed extreme envy.
Yong Gongzi interjected: "I heard from Master. Above the peak of the spiritual realm, the 'Danding Realm' realm, isn't there an even more powerful 'Dan realm'?"
"Dan Realm?" Chen Haoran laughed. "In the entire Spirit Sword Sect, only two senior uncles and ancestors have reached such a legendary terrifying realm, but they have both cultivated for hundreds of years before they can succeed, with us seventh-generation disciples, no matter how talented we are, it is absolutely impossible to quickly become an inner pill within a hundred years!"
Yong Gongzi and the others were secretly surprised. I wanted to cultivate immortals, but it was really mysterious, and it was against the norm. According to the lifespan of a normal person, seventy or eighty years is already the limit, how can there be hundreds of years. Carry out long-term cultivation in order to cultivate the inner pill of the immortal family.
Chen Haoran suddenly said: "However, there are exceptions to everything. More than ten years ago, there was a person in the Spirit Sword Sect who was born out of thin air, and he cultivated into the Inner Dan at the age of less than fifty, and became a strong man in the Dan Realm, with a divine weapon 'Wolf Tooth Sword' in his hand, he was invincible, and he was known as the first master of the sect!"
Yong Gongzi said strangely: "Who is it?"
Chen Haoran thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's a senior uncle of the Red Lotus Pavilion, I forgot what his name is, but his nickname is very majestic, and he is called the 'Wolf Tooth Sword Saint'! At that time, the heads and pavilion masters thought that it was not cost-effective to fight with the Blood Demon Sect in order to save a few disciples, so they were unwilling to bring people to rescue them. After all, the Blood Demon Sect is notorious, and the demons and monsters in it are powerful, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps!"
"But... The uncle of the Red Lotus Pavilion didn't buy the account of the master, he held the wolf's tooth sword, and he broke into the main altar of the Bloody Demon Sect alone with the strength of one person! He was invincible, with one enemy and a thousand, after killing hundreds of demon powerhouses, he rescued several disciples, and even in the vicious battle, he defeated and took down the master of the Bloody Demon Sect, and captured the sect as a hostage, so that the Blood Demon Sect did not dare to mess around... Hehe, how heroic and majestic it is when I think about it, this is the absolute realm of the strong man in the Dan Realm!"
"Okay, stand up and slay the demons, this is worthy of being a real immortal!" Yong Gongzi was enthusiastic when he heard this, and couldn't help but praise loudly, and asked, "What about later? Since you said that the Blood Demon Sect is so ruthless, most of them won't give up, right?"
Chen Haoran said: "Yes, the Blood Demon Sect was killed by the 'Wolf Tooth Sword Saint', and captured the old demon of the cold bone alive, of course they have to retaliate! Somehow, the Wolf Tooth Sword Saint was actually defeated in the hands of the Blood Demon Sect Master in that battle, and was deprived of a Dan Realm cultivation, and since then, his skills have plummeted and collapsed. Hmm, in the current Spirit Sword Sect, there are very few mentions of the name of the 'Wolf Tooth Sword Saint'. ”
In the end, he sighed again and again, and seemed to be quite regretful.
Yong Gongzi said: "What about the 'Wolf Tooth Sword Saint', is it still in the Spirit Sword Gate?"
Chen Haoran said: "This... I don't know. But... I haven't seen him for many years, and I haven't seen him attend any of the major gatherings of the faction, so I'm not sure if he's still alive. ”
Yong Gongzi nodded, and didn't ask more, but he secretly admired this wolf tooth sword saint in his heart, and he was very interested.
After walking for a while, he finally arrived at the cafeteria of the Spirit Sword Gate. From afar, you can smell the enticing aroma of food wafting in the air, which makes your stomach flutter and your belly growl.
The cafeteria has no roof, except for a thick fence on all sides. It's a huge space inside. Among them, countless stone tables and stone benches were neatly placed, and there were already many disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect sitting and dining here.
There were also a number of disciples, who were lining up with plates, paying their meal tickets and receiving dinner at the big stone table in the corner of the cafeteria. Everything seemed to be in order, and it was clear that everyone was already familiar with this kind of life.
perimeter of the fence. There is a priest with a whip in his hand, his face is pale, he walks around, and is responsible for the safety of the canteen.
In addition, there were four large trees two feet tall, with their roots and branches spread out, like human limbs, and they walked slowly under the walls of the four directions, looking from time to time, as if they were patrolling.
Yong Gongzi looked at it interestingly. "What are these treemen?"
Chen Haoran introduced: "It is a treeman puppet made by the craftsmen in the door, and the uncles and uncles personally cast spells to point the spirit, if someone dares to make trouble in the canteen, they will throw that person out! But don't underestimate these treemen, in terms of strength, they are not bad compared to the sixth 'marrow washing' in the mortal realm! In some important places in the door, there are more treemen who are responsible for guarding, in short, don't provoke when you see it." Just stay away!"
Yong Gongzi sighed, as if he understood.
Ling Wei leaned over. Giggled and said, "Second brother, don't ask, let's go get some delicious food!"
Chen Haoran smiled: "There are no good things in the canteen outside. If you want to eat well, you can go to the kitchen to open a small stove, and you can eat any delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the price is much more expensive! If you don't have enough spirit stones to exchange for a meal ticket, you might as well stay and eat outside!"
Chen Haoran took Yong Gongzi and others. I exchanged my meal ticket for some food that suited my taste, and I occupied a stone table and ate on it.
Although there is no abalone, lobster, shark fin and sea cucumber in the food, it is actually quite good. There are home-cooked dishes such as braised carp, back pot pork, mapo tofu, and stir-fried choy sum. The taste is quite delicate and delicious.
For a while, Yong Gongzi and others ate with relish and praise.
After eating for a while, Yong Gongzi's face was slightly gloomy, and he suddenly saw a large stone table not far away, and the Lion Hall and others led by Situ Jian were sitting together, staring at him with bad intentions.
At the table in the Lion Hall, there was a gray-haired young man with a proud face and cold eyes sitting in the first place, Situ Jian and the others were quite polite to him, serving tea and water from time to time, and offering great hospitality, as if they were some kind of new big backer.
Ling Zhen also discovered them, and whispered to Yong Gongzi: "Second brother, it's a person from the Lion Hall!"
Yong Gongzi chuckled and said, "Your subordinates are defeated, what are you afraid of?
After a while, Situ Jian pointed at Yong Gongzi and said non-stop to the gray-haired young man, his emotions were quite excited, as if he was complaining.
After listening for a while, the gray-haired young man laughed, stood up, took Situ Jian and the others, and walked directly to Yonggongzi's table.
"Senior Brother Kunikawa, how are you doing?" said the gray-haired young man unceremoniously and with a big grin.
Chen Haoran was taken aback, looked up and saw that it was a gray-haired young man, a trace of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly smiled: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Cedar, I... It's still the same, it's passable. ”
The gray-haired young man pulled Situ Jian and sneered: "Senior Brother Guochuan, this is my newly acquired junior brother Situ Jian, who is quite clever and very likable." But as soon as he got started today, he was twisted off by the red-haired boy who was sitting with you, what do you say about this!"
Chen Haoran was startled, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "I didn't instigate this, I... I don't know anything at all..."
Yong Gongzi smiled: "It's not about Senior Brother Guochuan, it's all done by me." Grey-haired monkey, if you want to make trouble, come at me!"
When Yong Gongzi heard the gray-haired young man call him a red-haired monkey, he also responded with a gray-haired monkey.
The gray-haired young man's face changed, and he said angrily: "What a gut! Do you know who my Gao Cedar is?"
Yong Gongzi glared and said, "I don't care who you are! If you want to fight, Young Master Ben will accompany you at any time!"
Situ Jian behind Gao Xuesong interjected and shouted: "It's up to you, how can you be worthy of doing something with Senior Brother Xuesong? If I hadn't fallen for your plot before, I would have beaten you to death!"
Yong Gongzi said disdainfully: "Don't talk nonsense, what do you want now?"
Gao Xuesong said in a deep voice: "Red-haired monkey, immediately apologize to Senior Brother Situ in public, and send me thirty percent of the spirit stones dug up every day!
Chen Haoran listened and hurriedly said: "No problem, no problem! These are all easy to do, Young Master Yong, you can apologize to them quickly!"
"No!" Yong Gongzi had a tough attitude and laughed, "Unless they kneel down and kowtow first, everything will not be discussed!"
Gao Xuesong is scathing and mean, he has always liked to bully newcomers, and he has made rapid progress among the inner disciples, and he is quite loved by the teacher, and he is even more lawless, even Chen Haoran, the senior brother, is afraid of him, where can anyone dare to be rude to him like a brave son?
At this time, after listening to Yong Gongzi's words, he felt that his face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but be furious.
"Toast and don't eat and drink!" Gao Xuesong shouted angrily, and slapped his palm on the stone table in front of Yong Gongzi.
The palm force was extremely strong, and the stone table clicked and burst into countless cracks, and suddenly collapsed, and the food on the table was spilled all over the ground.
Yong Gongzi had already expected Gao Xuesong to be in trouble, so he took the plate of the meal in his hand in time so that it did not fall to the ground. He saw that the other party had collapsed the stone table with one palm, and without saying a word, he grabbed the plate and threw it at Gao Xuesong's face.
Gao Xuesong shook the table, and was about to admire the stunned and frightened expressions of everyone, but unexpectedly, he saw the plate mixed with the food smashed, and it flew in front of him in an instant.
Gao Xuesong was taken aback, hurriedly retreated and dodged, and slammed the plate with a slap. However, the rice and dishes were splashed all around, still all over his face and clothes. (To be continued......)
