Chapter 25: The Old Man
Under the instructions of the middle-aged woman, everyone lined up and walked in front of the old man in turn. The old man just stretched out two fingers and put them on everyone's wrists, said, "Very good!" and motioned for the next one to come over.
Because the old man only needed one glance to be able to discern whether everyone's cultivation had reached the eleventh level of the Qi Refining Period. And a little bit of the root bone can be used to deduce the true age of the other party. Bone age can't fool people.
When it was Zhao Di's turn, the old man unexpectedly "Huh", and muttered: "It's actually a five-spirit root, and it is really rare to be able to cultivate to the eleventh layer before the age of twenty-three!" After speaking, he seemed to be unrelenting and took Zhao Di's other wrist again, before he said, "Very good!" and signaled Zhao Di to pass.
After the old man checked everyone's bone age, the middle-aged woman took them to a "heart cultivation hall". A beautiful friar, dressed in a white veil, who spoke like a heavenly voice, asked each of them a few questions.
Zhao Di was asked his name, whether he was a casual cultivator, whether he had a family background, and whether he had practiced demonic exercises.
Zhao Di felt that it was too difficult to tell a lie under the whispering of this fairy-like character, so he honestly explained that he was born in the Jian family of Nanhua Mountain, with a nickname of Wugen, and he named himself Zhao Di. As for the last question about the Demon Dao Exercises, Zhao Di had never heard of them, so of course he denied them.
Probably all of them passed the fairy's assessment, and soon, the middle-aged woman announced that everyone had officially become the outer disciples of the Taixu Sect.
Then, quite a few Qi Refining Stage cultivators dressed in gray clothes took these new disciples to arrange accommodation and receive items.
Zhao Di didn't have much hope that every new outer disciple could receive a copy. But when he got it in his hands, he was really pleasantly surprised.
The Taixu Sect is worthy of being the number one major cultivator immortal sect in the Golden Flame Country, even if it is an outer disciple like Zhao Di, everyone is given a storage bag printed with the logo of the Taixu Gate, which contains a gray robe with the unified style of the Taixu Gate, a cold moon knife, a small black token engraved with the three words of the Taixu Gate, two common magic weapons, and a feather-like rare magic weapon.
That's just the Cold Moon Knife and the Black Token, they are all low-grade magic weapons. And the feather-like magic weapon is a special flying magic weapon.
The so-called flying magic weapon refers to a magic weapon specially used to fly the weapon, which has no attack power at all, and the defense power is generally negligible, and the only use is to fly in the air.
Generally speaking, it is very difficult to refine the flying magic weapon, there are very few ones sold in the market, and the sale is very expensive, like this feather-shaped flying magic weapon, although the spiritual power is only a low-grade magic weapon, but if it appears in Liuyunfang City, its price is more expensive than the general medium-grade magic weapon.
For Qi refining period cultivators, unless they have a special flying magic weapon, they don't have enough spiritual power to fly with other magic weapons.
Since there was Qiankun Xiaoding, the spirit stone was inexhaustible, and Zhao Di also wanted to buy a flying magic weapon to play with and realize his dream of flying for many years. It's a pity that either the price is too high to sell, or there is no such magic weapon for sale.
Now on the first day of entry, I got a coveted flying magic weapon, which is indeed a big surprise.
As for the gray robe, it was the special clothing of the disciples of the Taixu Sect Qi Refining Period, and the monks of the Foundation Building Period were white.
This thin robe looks ordinary, but it is actually made of the fur of the first-level demon beast "Fire Light Beast". Not only is it very delicate and soft, water and fire do not invade, it has a certain protective ability, and it has a very wonderful special surname, no matter how dirty and wrinkled the clothes are, as long as they are burned with fire, they will be clean as before, and it is indeed very convenient and practical for immortal cultivators.
Leading Zhao Di and the other three outer disciples was a square-faced man under the age of thirty, who seemed to be relatively cold and did not like to talk. Zhao Di and the other four only knew that his surname was Huang and called him Senior Brother Huang.
Zhao Di and the other four had just started, so they naturally felt that everything in the door was extremely novel, and it was inevitable that they would ask long and short questions, but Senior Brother Huang answered very little. Usually Zhao Di and these three or four people ask seven or eight sentences, and he lazily answers a few words such as "yes" and "not so". After touching the wall a few times, the four of them had no choice but to follow behind Senior Brother Huang honestly and didn't ask a word.
Fortunately, the journey was not long, and the group walked for about half an hour before arriving at a relatively open valley. This valley is less than ten miles in circumference, but there are hundreds of stone houses of different styles in between, scattered in the valley irregularly, and several neat and magnificent styles such as the Yangxin Hall and the Coming World Hall are completely different. It seems that the status of the people who live here in the Taixu Gate will not be too high.
Sure enough, Senior Brother Huang spoke: "This is the temporary residence of the outer disciples who have just started in the door. Just find yourself a stone house with no one in it. There is a jade slip here, which records the topographical map of the gate drawn by me, as well as some regulations of the gate. If you look closely, you can find the answers to most of the questions. After saying that, the square-faced young man threw a piece of cyan square jade to each person, and then took the feather-like magic weapon and flew away.
"Senior Brother Huang, wait a minute......" A disciple of the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining Stage beside Zhao Di wanted to chase after him and ask something, but the square-faced monk waved his hand without looking back, stopped the other party, and flew away after a while.
"Hehe, our Senior Brother Huang's surname is really special. This disciple didn't seem to be angry, and said with a haha: "In Xia Xue Yunxue, it belongs to the Xue family in Yuyang Lake, Tongzhou, I don't know how many high surnames?"
"In Xia Zhaodi. After many years of casual cultivation, I don't want to mention my background. ”
"In Xiama Gao, it is also a scattered cultivation. ”
"Paint the lid under it. ”
"Brother Tai's surname is Tu, but the Tu family, one of the four major immortal cultivation families of Taixumen, is from the Tu family?" Then the thin young man named Ma Gao heard the other party's surname Tu, and immediately asked out loud.
"Hehe, although Zai Xia is also surnamed Tu, his background is not the famous Heishui Lake Tu family, just an unknown small family. Tu Gai replied with a smile, apparently the other party was not the first person to ask him this question.
Zhao Di was very interested in the four major immortal cultivation families of the Taixu Sect, and planned to find an opportunity to ask this Ma Gao about it.
The four of them exchanged a few words and went to the stone house.
Zhao Di found a remote stone house near the bamboo forest as a place to live. He found that although the stone house was crude, and most of the furniture in the house was made of simple stones, it also had a small forbidden circle attached, and it seemed that the monks everywhere attached great importance to the protection of privacy. After Zhao Di arranged the stone house slightly, he began to study the cyan square jade that Senior Brother Huang had given him.
Zhao Di has also seen this thing, which is refined by immortal cultivators from beautiful jade containing aura, and is specially used to record information such as words or images. To use it, you only need to immerse your consciousness in it.
Zhao Di pasted the cyan jade on his forehead, slowly immersed his divine sense in the jade slip, and after a while, fist-sized words and delicate pictures were presented in his mind.
"It's actually a map of the entire Taixu Gate, and several important locations are marked out, with detailed explanations. This is really a good thing!" Zhao Di sighed, the information in this jade slip was extremely rich, not only did it have a topographic map of the many peaks and lakes in the Taixu Gate, but also the names of the buildings on each peak, the purpose, and which elder it belonged to were all reduced in detail. Several forbidden places in the gates stipulated by the Taixu Gate are also marked in the jade slips.
It seems that Senior Brother Huang is an extremely introverted person, although he doesn't talk much, his heart is still very hot. It would take him more than ten days to make such a jade slip, to say the least.
After Zhao Di thanked that Senior Brother Huang in his heart, he couldn't help but take out the colorful feather-like magic weapon and put it in the palm of his hand to carefully appreciate it. Brilliant colors, a faint aura, and nothing special seems to be there. It's just that the root of the feather is engraved with words the size of a few grains of rice, such as "Flying Feather" and "Taixu Gate".
"It seems that this is called a flying feather magic weapon, why don't I try it. "After living together in the two worlds for more than 40 years, Zhao Di still has such a little childlike innocence, and suddenly getting such a good thing in his hands will inevitably have the idea of giving it a try.
Zhao Di walked out of the stone house, walked through the bamboo forest, and came to an empty slope. This hillside is not very windy, and it is a good place to practice using the Flying Feather Magic Weapon.
Zhao Di threw the flying feather in front of him, pinched the magic trick with both hands, and slowly entered the spiritual power into it one by one, and this flying feather grew bigger and bigger, and after a while, it turned into a huge colored feather that was one zhang long and three feet wide. Zhao Di stepped on it cautiously, and after standing firm, he used his divine sense to slowly control the flying feather to slowly rise and fall. After repeating this more than ten times, he began to try to control the flying feather to fly slowly at a low altitude of a few feet.
This kind of flying feeling is not bad, as long as you control your body balance when accelerating and decelerating, it is still relatively stable.
After practicing for more than an hour, Zhao Di finally dared to fly in the air at a height of 100 zhang with the flying feather magic weapon, although the flying feather flight speed was not too fast, at most it was only slightly faster than running with all his strength, but it was indeed flying freely in the air.
On a whim, Zhao Di flew around in the Kuanglu Mountains with flying feathers, flying over one mountain peak after another. Along the way, he saw many Taixu Sect monks flying on the same magic weapon, one by one constantly shuttling between the mountain peaks, there were Qi refining period monks wearing gray robes, and there were also foundation building stage seniors dressed in white.
Suddenly, a gray-clothed Qi Refining Stage cultivator flew in front of him, and Zhao Di was stunned after just a casual glance.
And the other party obviously recognized him immediately, and exclaimed: "Brother Wugen?"
