Wang Xian and the others followed the deacon disciples of Huatianzong for about half an hour, and then they arrived at the foot of a big mountain. Above the foot of the mountain was a heavy fog, obviously guarded by a formation. The deacon disciple took out the jade plaque and swiped it at the formation, revealing a bluestone step that was diagonally upward.

After everyone entered, they felt a fresh aura coming to their faces, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, which made people feel refreshed. Everyone went up the mountain, only to see the mist on the way, the trees were green cages, the flowers and plants were flourishing, and there were occasional birds and insects, which made the empty mountain even more lonely.

After nearly half an hour, I walked to the mountainside, and then looked up, only to see that the peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, and I couldn't see through the reality and reality. Rows of green-tiled and blue-brick huts are scattered all over the mountainside, encircling the mountainside.

Wang Xian and the others came to an empty flat on the mountainside with a circle of more than 30 zhang. The final stage of gas refining group that came back two days in advance and the early stage group of gas refining that just came today have arrived in Pingzhong.

More than 600 disciples who passed the test stood in a group under the guidance of the Huatian Sect monks, and some of them were seriously injured and still lying on stretchers. In front of the queue in the empty flat, there is a monk in the foundation building period, who is the presiding monk of the introductory competition.

At this time, it was unitary time, and the sky was slightly dark. Seeing that all groups of monks had arrived, Bi Xiu said, "Congratulations on becoming a registered disciple of the outer sect of Huatian Sect. This time, Huatian Sect recruited a total of 150 disciples in the early stage of Qi refining, 201 disciples in the middle stage of Qi refining, and 300 disciples in the late stage of Qi refining. You will be cultivating in this South China Peak, with the end of Qi refining in the back mountain, and the early and middle stages of Qi refining in the front mountain. ”

Bi Xiu began to introduce some of the situations of the outer gate, and some precautions and arrangements for the named disciples of the outer gate, and the detailed introduction is in the disciple's jade plate, and Bi Xiu only chose to emphasize it. Wang Xian used his divine sense to probe the contents of the jade tablet while listening to Bi Xiu's introduction.

There are more than a dozen peaks like South China Peak in the outer gate of Huatian Sect, and there are more than 5,000 monks in the Qi refining period, all of whom are registered disciples. Only Huatian Peak and the main peaks of each peak are the places where the official disciples of the outer sect practice, but that must be after the cultivation reaches the foundation building period. At present, there are more than 300 official disciples of the outer sect during the foundation building period.

After becoming an official disciple of the outer gate, you can open your own cave mansion and be qualified to apprentice to the peak masters or elders of each peak, they are all Jindan monks, especially the peak masters, who are also monks at the end of Jindan, and the elders of the outer gate are generally monks in the early and middle stages of Jindan. After the outer gate elder cultivates to the end of the Jindan, he will enter the inner gate and become the Great Elder.

Formal disciples of the outer gate, complete a certain contribution, are eligible to participate in the selection of inner disciples, if you can pass the selection to enter the inner door, you can apprentice to many monks at the end of the Jindan period, and some good opportunities even directly to the Yuan infant stage monks. Some of the current disciples of the inner gate have entered through this selection method.

The other part, which is the Heavenly Spirit Root and the Alien Spirit Root, directly enters the inner door. Therefore, the inner gate would instead have Qi refining stage disciples and even mortals.

They have excellent spiritual roots, one in a thousand, and there are high-level people to guide them, and the spiritual energy in the cultivation place is abundant, and the cultivation is a thousand miles away. Even if the monks of the foundation building period of the outer gate encounter them, no one dares to disrespect them, because their mana often surpasses the monks of the outer gate foundation building in a few decades, or even a few years later.

Huatianzong has the same rules of apprenticeship as the cultivation realm, which is different from mortals, and does not pay attention to the beginning, but only emphasizes the respect of high art.

For example, formal disciples in the foundation building period of the outer gate can learn from the elders in the early and middle stages of the Jindan at the four peaks of the outer gate; if they perform well and enter the inner gate, they can learn from the great elders at the end of the Jindan stage of the inner gate; if they advance to the Jindan stage, they can learn from the elders of the inner gate Yuan Yuan Infant Taishang again.

After advancing, many monks and the original master of the Jindan period were changed to be commensurate with brothers. There is no set of "one is a teacher, and one is a father for life" in the mortal world, and it cannot cover the big hat of "not respecting the teacher and respecting the way, and going against the truth" in the mortal world.

The strength of Hua Tianzong on the surface is the outer gate, which undertakes the main internal and external affairs of Hua Tianzong. And what really supports its transcendent status of the Seven Great Sects of the Cultivation Realm is the Inner Gate.

The head of Huatianzong is in the early stage of Yuanying, and the four peak masters are the great elders of the late Jindan period, and there are seventy or eighty elders in the middle and middle stages of Jindan. At the inner gate, there are more than a dozen elders in the Yuan Infant Period, from the early Yuan Infant to the end of the Yuan Infant Period, and there are thirty or forty Great Elders at the end of the Jindan Period.

Therefore, Huatianzong has a small entry, middle entry and big entry, the small entrance is this entrance competition, become a registered disciple of the outer door; the middle entry, that is, after building the foundation, become a formal disciple of the outer door, can formally apprentice; the big entrance is to pass the inner door selection competition, become an inner disciple, can be apprenticed again.

For tens of thousands of years, the disciples who entered the inner gate have all succeeded in marrying Jindan and become Jindan monks. And if the outer disciples can't enter the inner gate through selection, most of them will linger in the foundation building period, until they are old, and they rarely appear in the outer gate to cultivate the golden pill.

The registered disciples of the outer sect, due to their weak mana, are generally limited to completing affairs within the sphere of influence of Huatian Sect for thousands of miles. After a registered disciple enters the foundation building period and becomes an official disciple of the outer sect, he can participate in the affairs of the Xia Kingdom's cultivation realm outside the sect.

The registered disciples of the outer sect have neither the opportunity to apprentice, nor the opportunity to show their faces on behalf of other sects outside the sect.

Of course, the sect will be in the Lingshu Pavilion of the outer gate, and let them choose a practice of exercises and swordsmanship, and they can participate in the pulpit of the monks of the foundation building period of the outer gate to listen to the lectures, and they can serve as deacon disciples.

Deacon disciples have fixed duties and tasks, and receive spirit stones according to their contributions every month. If you don't serve as a deacon disciple, only two spirit stones will be issued every month.

As one of the seven major sects, Huatianzong is heavily guarded. On the periphery of the Tianyuan Mountain Range, there are more than a dozen peaks such as South China Peak, which is the remaining vein of the Tianyuan Mountain Range, the aura is acceptable, the mountain is more than 100 zhang to 300 zhang high, and it is connected into a large mountain protection array by the circular formation.

After the circular mountain protection array to nearly 100 miles, it is the four peaks of Huatian Peak, Tianjian Peak, Fuqi Peak and Danyao Peak, it is the main vein of Tianyuan Mountain Range, the aura is sufficient, the peak is six or seven hundred zhang high, and the four peaks stand together to form a square array, which is called Huatian Great Array.

After passing through the Huatian Great Array, and going inward for dozens of miles, it is the highest peak of the Tianyuan Mountain Range, Tianyuan Peak. The aura here is wonderful, it is where the main vein of the spiritual vein is located, and it is also where the inner gate is located, and there is a Tianyuan Great Array to protect it.

These three layers of large arrays, layers of arch guards, prohibitions are everywhere. They originated from the ancient strange array, laid out by the joint efforts of many Yuanying monks, and have been continuously improved for tens of thousands of years.

South China Peak belongs to one of the remaining peaks in the south of Huatian Peak, and the peak master is served by the Jindan early stage monk on the competition field, living on the peak, and is under the jurisdiction of the Great Elder of Huatian Peak Peak. General affairs were managed by several stewards and friars, and the first of the stewards was the one who completed the foundation period.

The formation laid out at the foot of the South China Peak, except for the monks above the elder of the Huatian Sect and the monks in charge of the peak, only the monks who hold the jade plate of the disciples of the South China Peak of the Outer Gate can open it.

The disciples of South China Peak, except for the deacon disciples, other disciples must cultivate on the mountain, in addition to the tasks sent by the sect, there are a few days off every other year, and they can go down the mountain to various towns to do errands without approval, and they cannot go to other peaks or sect formation forbidden places without approval.

If a registered disciple wants to become a deacon disciple, he must do a fixed errand within the influence of Huatian Sect, which is managed by the deacon leader.

Some are responsible for managing the mining affairs of the spirit mine, some are responsible for regular safety inspections, some are responsible for trading elixir refining materials, some are responsible for escorting all kinds of materials in and out of the mountain gate, and some are responsible for managing the related matters of the second-rate sect and the Xiuzhen family affiliated to the sect, and so on.

Becoming a deacon disciple often has a monthly remuneration of dozens to hundreds of spirit stones, so that there is no need to cultivate when there is no errand.

For registered disciples who are not deacons, relying only on the two spirit stones issued by the sect every month, even if the aura of South China Peak is acceptable, it is not enough for cultivation. This kind of person is often a high-level descendant of a second- or third-rate sect or a Xiuzhen family, and there are other channels to provide enough spirit stones to cultivate, and they can be regarded as the children of a wealthy family in the cultivation realm.

Bi Xiu left after introducing the situation, it was already dark, and Wang Xian also knew the contents of the disciple's jade plaque about the same. Several deacons and disciples from the outer gate led Wang Xian and his party to rows of green-tiled and blue-brick huts, each row of huts had seven or eight to a dozen rooms, each row was built on the mountain, and the top and bottom were staggered.
