What is an immortal?

Secular people think that the so-called immortals are all immortal, drink elixir and jade liquid, and eat the essence of heaven and earth.

Immortality and immortality are not to be said for the time being, but it is not too difficult to reach the realm of drinking the essence of the heaven and earth and eating the essence of heaven and earth. Immortal cultivators only need to reach the golden pill stage to open the valley, and from then on, they no longer need to eat worldly food, even if they only reach the foundation building period, they can also open the grain for several months.

However, as the bottom of the immortal cultivation realm, the disciples of the Qi refining period still need to eat and drink normally, so any sect is indispensable to the canteen.

Liu Yang and Xu Qing came to the canteen together, there were two or three hundred people in the small canteen, there were thirty or forty children who were as old as Xu Qing and them, there were young disciples in their twenties, middle-aged people in their forties, and even some white-haired old people, but except for those disciples who had just started, the rest of them were wearing gray robes.

"A lot of people, right? Except for those who are just starting out like us, the rest of them are all outer disciples in the Qi refining period. Seeing Xu Qing's surprised appearance, Liu Yang explained to him.

"How come there are still people of such age, could it be that they are only in the Qi refining period?" Xu Qing asked puzzled.

"Hey, how can the foundation building period be as easy as you think, generally speaking, it would be good to be able to build a foundation with two or three out of a hundred people, of course, you don't have to worry, as long as our core disciples are diligent in cultivation, most of them can reach the foundation building period. Liu Yang said with a smile.

"Aren't the inner disciples and core disciples eating here?" Xu Qing also firmly believed that he could build a foundation, and suddenly thought that the cafeteria was full of outer disciples except for the beginner disciples, and there was not a single inner disciple or core disciple, so he asked.

"There is a big difference in the treatment of outer disciples, inner disciples and core disciples in the sect, for example: our core disciples have twenty spirit stones, five myelin-cleansing pills, and ten qi-nourishing pills per month, while the inner disciples only have ten spirit stones, five myelin-cleansing pills, and five qi-nourishing pills per month, and the outer disciples are even less, only five spirit stones, two myelin-cleansing pills, and two qi-nourishing pills. That's it, if you want to become an outer disciple, you still need to go through the test before you can join the sect, and now the outer disciple should still be being tested, so there are no outer disciples who have just started here, otherwise there will be more people. Liu Yang did not immediately explain to Xu Qing the question of where the inner disciples and core disciples would eat, but first talked about the treatment gap between the outer disciples, the inner disciples and the core disciples.

"Generally, the sect will release various tasks for the disciples in the sect to do, and if they complete the tasks, they will be rewarded with some spirit stones. Because of the poor qualifications of the spiritual root, the outer disciples have almost no possibility of building a foundation, but most of them firmly believe that the Heavenly Way rewards hard work, so they have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, if they really give up like that, then they will have no chance with the Immortal Dao at all. Their qualifications are not good, so they can only hope to speed up their cultivation through the spirit pill, but the spirit stones they get every month are not enough for them to buy the spirit pill, and if they want to obtain the spirit stones, they can only choose to complete the tasks released by the sect. To put it mildly, they are outer disciples, but to put it mildly, they are actually just miscellaneous servants in the sect. ”

"The treatment of inner disciples and core disciples is much better, because the spiritual root is better, it is easier for them to enter the foundation building period. In order to allow them to concentrate on their cultivation, the sect issued a task that as long as it was time for the meal, there would be a disciple from the outer sect who would deliver the food outside their room. Therefore, we will also go to the foreign affairs room to register later, and we will not have to come here for dinner in the future. ”

Xu Qing thought about it, the world of cultivating immortals was far more cruel than the world he imagined. Although he had never been in contact with any immortal cultivators before, he had heard a lot of legends about immortal cultivators in the mountain villa. He had always thought that the Immortal Cultivation Realm must be a beautiful world, but now it seemed that the level of the Immortal Cultivation Realm was even more distinct than the secular realm.

"Where did you know all this? Aren't you just getting started?" Xu Qing was very puzzled when he saw that Liu Yang knew so much, so he asked.

"This... Actually, like Gao Han, I come from the Xiuxian family, but because my parents don't have spiritual roots, I was arranged by the family to do business in a small city, and I know so much. Liu Yang explained that when talking about the family and his parents, there was a look of injustice on his face, and he obviously had a lot of opinions about the family.

"I came early today, so I asked around for some useful news. Liu Yang continued.

Xu Qing and Liu Yang took the meal, looked for a long time before they saw an empty table in a corner, so they sat down there, and the two talked about their childhood anecdotes and shared their happiness while eating.

Xu Qing and Liu Yang chatted while eating in the canteen, and no one came to disturb them.

"By the way, Xu Qing, what kind of spiritual root are you, I'm a top-grade golden spiritual root!" and then looked at Xu Qing triumphantly, looking like your spiritual root is definitely not as good as mine. Of course, Liu Yang is not a person who is easy to be proud, in his opinion, since Xu Qing can become a core disciple, the spiritual root is definitely not bad, and the reason why he makes a high-spirited appearance is just a joke with Xu Qing.

"Oh, I seem to be a five-line spiritual root, in addition to the fire-based high-grade spiritual root, the gold, wood, water, and earth spiritual roots are all medium-grade spiritual roots. Xu Qing didn't know whether his spiritual root was good or bad at all, so he didn't think much about it, and said casually.

"Five-line spiritual roots, well, it's just a little bit worse than me, uh... What you just said was... Five Spiritual Roots?" Liu Yang's smile suddenly froze, and he was a little unfavorable when he spoke, and his voice unconsciously raised a lot when he talked about the five spiritual roots. Realizing that his voice was a little higher, he asked in a low voice, "Are you really sure that you are a fifth-line spirit root? are you not joking?"

"Why is my spiritual root very strange?" Xu Qing was very puzzled by Liu Yang's reaction, so he asked.

Liu Yang saw that Xu Qing really didn't look like a joke, so he wanted to explain. It's just that Liu Yang just wanted to explain to Xu Qing, and there was a burst of unbridled laughter next to him.

Gao Han was very depressed when he came to the dining hall to eat today, as long as he thought of Liu Yang and Xu Qing, he gritted his teeth with hatred and lost the slightest appetite, so he thought in his heart how to teach them a lesson.

When he saw Liu Yang and Xu Qing sitting not far away, his eyes kept staring at them. Listening to them talk about their childhood anecdotes, they pretended to be disdainful and pouted. Because of his prominent status and excellent spiritual roots, Gao Han has been living in the flattery of others since he was a child, and now he finds that there is nothing special worth reminiscing about when he grows so big.

Although Gao Han pretended to be disdainful on the surface, he couldn't help but want to listen to Xu Qing and Liu Yang's childhood anecdotes, and he told himself in his heart that he just wanted to see what childish things Xu Qing and Liu Yang had done before.

But what he thinks in his heart, no one knows, I'm afraid even Gao Han himself doesn't know, maybe in his heart he actually envies that kind of life, or he knows it but stubbornly doesn't want to admit it.

After hearing that Liu Yang was a top-grade golden spirit root, he pursed his lips and muttered: What's the big deal, this young master is also a single-grade high-grade spiritual root, but in the bottom of his heart he is still a little jealous, although they are all single-grade high-grade spiritual roots, but the top-grade golden spiritual roots are more aggressive, and generally speaking, the same cultivation is stronger than other people's attack power.

But then I heard Xu Qing say that he was a five-line spiritual root, the first reaction was to suspect that he had heard it wrong, and the second reaction was not to believe it, if the five-line spiritual root could also become a core disciple, wouldn't most of the disciples be able to become a core disciple? It's just a joke! But when he saw Xu Qing's appearance not like he was joking, there was only one thought in his heart: The opportunity for revenge has come! So he didn't care about eating, walked to Xu Qing's table, pointed at Xu Qing and laughed out loud.

Liu Yang glared at Gao Han fiercely, but Gao Han didn't see it at all, and said loudly while laughing: "You are the fifth-line spiritual root? The five spiritual roots can actually become core disciples, but don't think that becoming a core disciple can be compared with us real core disciples, mediocrity is mediocre after all, even if you become a core disciple, you will not be able to build a foundation in this life. ”

Most of the people in the dining hall put down their chopsticks and looked towards Xu Qing. Like Xu Qing, the disciples who had just started hearing that Xu Qing was a fifth-line spiritual root had actually become a core disciple, and they looked disdainful and ashamed to be with him. The older one seemed much calmer, and didn't say anything, just looked at this side, as if he was just watching a play. The reaction of the young disciples in their twenties was more intense, and most of them talked about it, telling their grievances.

"Hmph, why can this kid become a core disciple of the fifth line of spiritual roots? It's really unfair, even if we try hard, we can't catch up with him, can we not be happy to cultivate by eating the spirit pill as a meal?" someone complained quietly.

"Hey, yes, no matter how hard you try, you can't catch up with a good background. ”

"Tell me what is the identity of this kid? Our sect has rules that no favoritism is allowed when selecting core disciples, I remember that last time a Jindan patriarch wanted his son to become a core disciple, but because the Linggen qualification was too poor, he only made him an inner disciple. A young disciple in his twenties said.

"Will the Jindan Patriarch be short of elixirs? That patriarch wanted his son to become a core disciple, and he just wanted to mention that his son was a core disciple with a bright face, but even this did not succeed in the end. Another disciple added, speaking in a quiet voice and appearing cautious.

Wow...

All the disciples stopped talking, they were not stupid, although they didn't know what Xu Qing's background was, but they knew that Xu Qing was definitely not something they could bully at will. Although he was jealous in his heart, he wouldn't say it again, who knows if Xu Qing would let a big man in the sect "seek justice" for him. It was only then that they found that the older brothers did not discuss, and sighed in their hearts: Jiang is still old and spicy.
