The outside of the Cheng'en Hall did not become deserted because these masters and apprentices entered the Cheng'en Palace, but became more and more lively. This is because the sound of the bell coming from the Cheng'en Hall has summoned all the sect disciples who want to watch the apprenticeship ceremony. Most of these sect disciples flew from the sword, of course, the speed is not to say, the sect disciples who first rushed to the square in front of the Cheng'en Hall from various places in the sect, and they can also see those masters and apprentices entering the Cheng'en Palace.

It was not until the sky was bright and the square outside the Cheng'en Hall was full of onlookers that the Second Elder Li Chenshu, who had been belated, came to the Cheng'en Hall accompanied by eight immortal masters.

"Second Elder Hello!" Waiting until Second Elder Li Chenshu sat down in the seat in the center of the Cheng'en Palace, everyone who participated in the apprenticeship ceremony bowed to him together.

"Sit down. Recently, there have been a lot of things in the sect, so I can't spare time to hold an apprenticeship ceremony for you alone, so I have to rush to the Immortal Realm Sect martial arts competition in Tiandu City, and deliberately choose a good day to hold an apprenticeship ceremony for you collectively. After accepting the salute from the crowd, Second Elder Li Chenshu motioned for them all to sit back in their seats, and briefly explained the reason for holding the collective apprenticeship ceremony.

"Elder Li has worked hard for the sect, and even if he delays the disciples' apprenticeship ceremony, the disciples can understand. Elder Li didn't have to bother with this. Everyone hurriedly expressed their understanding of the second elder's dilemma.

"Of course, you as masters don't feel anything, but your apprentices will inevitably be a little worried if they don't get their official status for a long time. If it affects cultivation because of this, it will not be good. They are all the hope of the future development and growth of the Imperial Sword Sect, and I don't want to affect the future of the Imperial Sword Sect because of me. "Second Elder Li Chenshu also slowly grew up from the step of apprenticeship as an apprentice, until he became a master to accept apprentices, and then became an elder. He has a deep understanding of the mentality of being an apprentice and a master, and naturally knows what adverse consequences may occur.

"Elder Li, rest assured, the situation you are worried about will not appear to these apprentices who are preparing to apprentice. They were all the best among the immortal disciples who joined the sect, otherwise they would not have stood out from those immortal disciples and reached the level of immortals so quickly. Obtain the qualification of apprenticeship. Hua Changdong stood up. said to the second elder Li Chenshu. The reason why Hua Changdong dared to say this was because what he said was the truth, and these apprentices who were preparing to apprentice were indeed the most qualified among those immortal disciples, so that they could reach the strength of immortals one step ahead of others under the same conditions.

"Changdong. You have a point. But you also have to know. My words are not just for a few apprentices who are about to apprentice now. The immortal disciples recruited by the Imperial Sword Sect have good qualifications, and it is only a matter of time before they reach the strength of immortals. Can you guarantee that there will be no problems with the mentality of these apprentices, can you also guarantee that the mentality of all the immortal disciples will be fine? The reason why I say that is to let those immortal disciples who have not yet reached the strength of immortals who can apprentice in the future know and be prepared in their hearts. Because after this apprenticeship ceremony, I will not hold the apprenticeship ceremony for a long time, and only by making them aware of this in advance can we avoid the situation I said. Second Elder Li Chenshu replied.

"Elder Li's teachings are extremely high, when we accept apprentices again, we will definitely pay more attention to their mentality. Second Elder Li Chenshu seemed to be answering Hua Changdong's question, but in fact, he was secretly waking up the attention of others to avoid that kind of situation. Everyone understood and followed Hua Changdong to make a guarantee.

"Well, let's not talk about topics that have nothing to do with the apprenticeship ceremony, let's prepare to start the formal apprenticeship ceremony!" Second Elder Li Chenshu's purpose has been achieved, there is no need to say anything more, it is time to do today's business.

As soon as Second Elder Li Chenshu's words fell, the eight immortal masters who came with him began to get busy. Today, a total of six pairs of masters and apprentices will hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony, six of the eight immortal masters will be responsible for guiding one pair of masters and apprentices to complete the apprenticeship ceremony according to the requirements of the second elder Li Chenshu, and the remaining two immortal masters will prepare various items for these six pairs of masters and apprentices to use in the apprenticeship ceremony.

"The first item of the apprenticeship ceremony, tea ceremony!" Second Elder Li Chenshu said when he saw that the six apprentices who were going to apprentice had teacups in their hands.

Tea for the master is the most important in the apprenticeship ceremony, which expresses the apprentice's respect for the master and contains the meaning of being willing to serve the master wholeheartedly and accept the master's teachings. This ritual is not as simple as putting a cup of tea in front of the master and asking the master to drink, it requires the apprentice to kneel in front of the master, hold the tea bowl with both hands at the same time, hold it high above his head, and bow his head to ask the master to take the tea bowl. If the master takes the tea bowl and takes a small sip, it means that the master is very satisfied with the apprentice and is willing to accept him as an apprentice; if the master reaches out and pushes the tea bowl away, then the two will no longer have the fate of master and apprentice.

Of course, there will be no situation in the Cheng'en Hall where the master pushes away the tea bowl offered by the apprentice, and under the instruction of the six immortal masters, the six apprentices kneel in front of their respective masters, respectfully serving tea to the master. Of course, the six masters immediately took a sip of the tea bowl, indicating that they were willing to accept the respect of the apprentice, symbolizing the establishment of the identity of the master and apprentice.

"The second item of the apprenticeship ceremony, blessings!" Second Elder Li Chenshu continued after the six masters drank the tea offered by the apprentices.

If the master succeeds in accepting apprentices, of course, he must send blessings to his apprentices, hoping that the apprentices can be better than the blue. This blessing can be a blessing of words or an auspicious object. However, in the Imperial Sword Sect, only female apprentices will generally receive auspicious items from their masters, and most of them are small items such as purses and ornaments, while male apprentices can often only hear the blessings of the master, and the content is nothing more than encouragement and hope.

As a result, of the six apprentices in the Cheng'en Palace, only Su Mu received a bracelet made of top-grade immortal yuan stones from his master Ye Meng, and Wang Yan and the other four male apprentices only received a word of blessing from their respective masters. Hua Changdong blessed Wang Yan like this: 'Inherit the teacher's tradition, cultivate successfully, carry forward, and become famous.' ’。 Although Wang Yan didn't know how the other masters blessed their apprentices, he thought that the content should be roughly the same.

"The third item of the apprenticeship ceremony, thank you!" Second Elder Li Chenshu continued the rest of the apprenticeship ceremony. When the apprentice receives the blessing of the master, of course, he should express his gratitude and gratitude, and this ceremony requires the apprentice to kowtow to the master three times to thank the master.

There was a crisp 'dong dong' sound in the Cheng'en Palace, and the apprentices kowtowed to the master, which was not ambiguous at all, after all, in the future, they would always follow the master to cultivate and learn immortal arts, how could they do it without sincerity.

"The fourth item of the apprenticeship ceremony, worship!" said the fourth item of the second elder, Li Chenshu. Whether the master has received a good apprentice, or the apprentice has found a good master, this should be thanks to the founding master of the Imperial Sword Sect. Because if it weren't for the original ancestor master's move to establish the Imperial Sword Sect, there would not be such a sect as the Imperial Sword Sect in the Immortal Realm, and then they would not have had the opportunity to become masters and apprentices.

The two immortal masters who were in charge of preparing the items needed for the apprenticeship ceremony hurriedly led the six pairs of masters and apprentices to the statue of the ancestor who was specially enshrined in the Cheng'en Hall for the apprenticeship ceremony, and gave each of them the three incense sticks that had been lit, and they kowtowed to worship. This is not the slightest sloppy thing, the six pairs of masters and apprentices are very pious worship, after that, they all put the three sticks of incense in their hands into the incense burner in front of the statue of the ancestor master, and the worship is over.

"The fifth item of the apprenticeship ceremony, notice!" said the second elder Li Chenshu said the last item of the apprenticeship ceremony. This requirement required the master to lead the apprentices in front of the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect who were watching in the square outside the Cheng'en Hall, and loudly announced that they were already masters and apprentices recognized by the sect. The purpose of this is to prevent unwitting people in the Imperial Sword Sect from wanting to receive their favorite apprentice when they see it, and inadvertently damage the rights and interests of this apprentice's master.

The disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect who were watching outside the Cheng'en Hall were to see this last item, whether they had a junior brother or a junior sister, and it was clear at a glance. (To be continued......)
