Chapter 92: The Introductory Trial (1)
It turned out that there was a strict hierarchy among the disciples of this Xianqiao Sect.
First of all, the disciples who have just started must first pass the entrance test, and after passing, they will first become outer disciples. You can learn the introductory method of the sect.
After the outer disciples have cultivated through their own efforts, their qualifications are acceptable, and they can become inner disciples when they enter the condensation period. Inner disciples can also learn more advanced Fa Determination Exercises.
If your cultivation progresses further, you will be able to become a true disciple when you reach the foundation building period. True disciples are the core disciples of the sect, and in addition to learning the more advanced and advanced Fa Determination Exercises, they can also receive the personal guidance and cultivation of the elders arranged by the sect. And most of the true disciples were directly accepted into the disciple by the Jindan monks in the sect and became disciples.
Each level of disciple has different welfare responsibilities.
In addition to cultivating themselves, outer disciples also have to be responsible for many miscellaneous things in the sect. For example, cleaning the palace, feeding and taking care of spirit animals, planting spirit herbs and elixirs, and other miscellaneous things. If cultivation needs guidance, there is only once a month for the disciples of the True Transmission to give a lecture.
And the true disciples who are responsible for explaining the exercises to the children of the outer sect are also arranged by the master to take turns to teach the true disciples.
How much the outer disciples can understand and comprehend depends on whether the true disciples are responsible and their own level of understanding.
Inner disciples don't need to do those chores anymore, they can concentrate on cultivation, and they can even receive lectures from the elders once a month for five days.
As for true disciples, they can directly receive individual guidance from the elders of the transmission of gong. The true disciples who were received under the Jindan monk's disciple, not to mention, have the care of the master, and the resources and benefits are even more generous.
The disciples who enter the door are the monks who are above the Jindan cultivator in the door, and they directly admit those mortals with outstanding qualifications and amazing talents into the door, and they do not need to pass the entrance test at the same time, and directly accept the guidance of the master. Therefore, the status of the disciple who entered the house is equivalent to that of the true disciple, but it is a little higher than that of the true disciple.
Although the disciples who entered the room had a low cultivation when they started, their qualifications were good and their starting point was high. Therefore, cultivation can often catch up with the last, and it should not be underestimated. Often, the chances of a disciple entering the room to cultivate a golden pill are higher than that of a true disciple. After all, they are highly qualified talents that the master specially selects for entry. There is also the special care and guidance of the master, which is of course different from ordinary people.
When the two little boys heard Li Zhaoyuan say that he was nothing but a rookie, they saw that he had no spiritual power fluctuations, and thought that he was just an ordinary disciple who was kindly brought by Uncle Hao to get started, or because of the relationship between friends, he reluctantly brought him to the entry.
Don't look at the appearance of these two little boys who are seven or eight years old, innocent and cute. They're old fritters. These two so-called boys have always maintained the appearance when they entered because of the special exercises they practice, and their actual age does not know how old they are. They can only change their bodies when they cultivate to the Jindan stage. Otherwise, they will only be like children until they die.
These two have been acquaintances for a long time, and often those disciples who are beginners are the ones who lead the way. Most of those new disciples are characters with family backgrounds, and they have some hedrons on their bodies to a greater or lesser extent. In order to be able to get the two boys who led the way to provide some information about the entrance exam, most of them used some spirit stones to bribe. Therefore, the two boys also got a lot of benefits.
In this way, these two Zhike boys also need a little benefit in everything, those beginner disciples who don't have spirit stones, they don't even bother to take the road, let alone provide information.
Now that Li Zhaoyuan, a rookie in their eyes, they naturally don't want to let go of the opportunity to fish for oil and water.
So the two of them asked Li Zhaoyuan if he had brought it, but the spirit stone used or something, etc. In and out of the words, he wanted to ask for Li Zhaoyuan's bribe.
"What is the use of the thing? Please also ask the two little immortals to say clearly. Li Zhaoyuan had already heard that these two little ghosts wanted him to send money, but he pretended to be stupid and asked.
The two little ghosts seemed to be very stupid and naïve when they saw him, and they were really afraid that he wouldn't understand. Mingyue said directly: "We asked if you brought something that you could use when you went out this time." As he spoke, his right hand was rubbing his fingers at the same time, and the meaning was self-evident.
Li Zhaoyuan still pretended to be stupid and said, "Two senior brothers, I didn't bring it." When I went out, Master and his old man also said that they needed to bring something? They said that there was everything here, so I could come with peace of mind. ”
Seeing that Li Zhaoyuan didn't know the times and didn't know people's feelings, the two little ghosts said it so explicitly, he still didn't understand, and the two of them turned around and left when they got angry.
"Hey, two senior brothers, please wait a moment!" the two ignored and did not look back.
Li Zhaoyuan shouted: "Oops!" Then he heard a snapping sound, and Li Zhaoyuan shouted again: "Whose thing is this?!Huh!?It's a spirit stone!"
He picked up a small bag of spirit stones and shouted.
The boy who knew the guest Qingfeng Mingyue immediately turned around and flew over. The two of them also honestly and unceremoniously snatched the small bag containing the spirit stone and said, "Oops, we dropped it." Brother, thank you for helping us pick it up. ”
When they opened it, they saw that it was indeed a spirit stone, and there were about thirteen or fourteen lower-grade spirit stones. Although it is only a low-grade spirit stone, as a knowing boy, the spirit stones they are allocated every month are only two or three low-grade spirit stones, which is not enough at all. So they have to make money on their own. More than a dozen lower-grade spirit stones, this is a lot of income.
Li Zhaoyuan didn't know how many spirit stones were allocated to the disciples of the Xianqiao Sect every month, so he would take out so much. But these are all things that he snatched. A dozen low-grade spirit stones are nothing to him, and if you give them, you will give them.
The two Zhike boys took the spirit stone and really seemed to be a different person, and at this time they were already smiling and welcoming people, and they were very enthusiastic.
"Senior brother, come on, senior brother will take you to the entrance hall and participate in the entrance trial. So the two acquaintance boys talked and laughed and took Li Zhaoyuan to the palace group of Xianqiaomen.
Shiyun Mountain has independent palace attics, everywhere, layer upon layer, hidden in the spiritual mist, flickering and flickering. If you don't have a map, or no one to show you the way, outsiders really don't know where to go.
Under the guidance and explanation of the clear breeze and bright moon of the Zhike boy, Li Zhaoyuan finally knew. The new disciples of the Xianqiao Sect must pass two trials before they can become official disciples of the Xianqiao Sect.
The two trials are also very simple, one is the test of courage and strength, that is, the beast* captured by the disciples fights, and the winner passes the trial. It is said that it is a beast and not a spirit animal, it is because these beasts have not yet opened their spiritual intelligence, they have no spirituality, and they will only instinctively attack humans. But it is also ferocious and abnormal, and it is impossible for ordinary people to defeat.
The second is the trial of the demons. If you can't defeat the demons, the lighter ones will regress in their cultivation and will never be able to improve again; the heavy ones will go crazy and die. The trial of the heart demon here is not so dangerous, but entering a simple psychedelic magic circle, staying for a stick of incense for a while without being confused, even if it is successful.
Disciples who have passed these two items can show that they have strong courage and courage, and have a relatively firm belief, and it will be possible to achieve achievements on the road of cultivating immortals in the future.
Soon, Li Zhaoyuan came to the entrance hall under the leadership of two acquaintance boys.
The entrance hall is guarded by an inner disciple. All the disciples who guarded the temple were mostly old men from Xianqiaomen. These inner disciples have been cultivating for many years and have not been able to break through, so they have to stay in the sect to do some guarding the temple and managing the affairs of the outer disciples.
Qingfeng Mingyue and the others took Li Zhaoyuan to the door of the entrance hall and did not see anyone, Qingfeng shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Li! Senior Brother Li......" He shouted several times in a row.
Suddenly, a person rolled down from the roof of the entrance hall, but instead of falling directly to the ground, it stopped just when it was about to approach the ground, and then floated up and down slightly. This person was lazily unkempt, wearing a green inner disciple's robe, which was already very old and a little white. His cultivation has reached the late stage of condensation, and he doesn't know why he didn't go to the penance to attack the foundation building period, but guarded the temple here.
"What are you looking for me?" asked Senior Brother Li.
"Senior Brother Li, there are new disciples who want to participate in the introductory trial. Qingfeng Mingyue replied.
