Chapter 52: Elders
After hearing this, Wang Xuan asked: "The hairpin represents status, how does it represent it?"
The disciple sitting on the stage said: "The hairpins are divided into wood, silver, gold, and jade, which also represent Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, and Yuanying."
The disciples nodded, showing expressions of sudden realization: "So that's the reason. It's good. Look at the hairpin before you curse, so as not to accidentally contradict your senior!"
When several people were about to leave, Wang Shuo asked again: "Do we have a place to stay?"
At this time, the disciple sitting on the stage showed a smile: "Hey, other disciples almost forget this time when they first enter the sect, and then they can only sleep on the ground at night. It's rare that you actually remember to ask about this!"
After hearing this disciple's words, several people quickly showed embarrassed expressions. They were preoccupied with the joy of joining the sect and forgot important things.
The disciple took out a map, which was exactly the map of the sect. The area was so large that it was 30 to 40% larger than the Xianfeng Sect. The disciple pointed to a place: "This is on the spiritual veins. The spiritual energy is strong and is conducive to cultivation. This is
Find a place to live, five hundred spirit stones!"
"So expensive?"
Except for Wang Shuo, everyone else took a breath of cold air. As a casual cultivator, every spiritual stone is hard to come by. It would be great to have a hundred spiritual stones.
Then the disciple pointed elsewhere: "If you don't have enough spiritual stones, you can also work for the sect. The sect will allocate accommodation, but the quality will be much worse!"
Wang Shuo shook his head: "What can I do?"
"Refining alchemy, refining weapons, drawing talismans, setting up formations, and growing herbs!"
Wang Shuo frowned and thought that it was indeed the case. Studying in a sect is, on the one hand, to obtain spiritual stones for doing these five things for the sect, and on the other hand, it can also acquire related skills.
It seems that other sects also use this method, so Wang Shuo asked again: "How many levels can you learn these skills at?"
"Second grade!"
Wang Shuo nodded. He was almost the same as the Xianfeng Sect. According to this, he would not be able to improve if he continued to learn alchemy. He had already reached the second-level alchemist in the Xianfeng Sect.
While the people around him were hesitating about which skill they should learn, Wang Shuo pointed at the map: "I hope that senior brother will arrange a place for me to live in the mountains!"
The disciple sitting on the stage showed a surprised expression: "Are you so rich?"
Wang Shuo smiled and poured five hundred spirit stones from the gourd in front of this disciple.
Everyone around them showed surprised expressions. They had never seen so many spirit stones after practicing for so long.
Even the disciple sighed: "Comparing people with each other is so annoying. I have never earned so many spirit stones in my foundation-building period. I didn't expect that I could pay five hundred spirit stones in one Qi-refining period without even blinking!"
"
Not long after, there was an extra talisman on the disciple token in Wang Shuo's hand. This talisman was proof of his residence.
Wang Shuo left the teaching building and rushed toward the residence on the map with his sword.
Half a day later, Wang Shuo stopped on a mountain range. His consciousness passed through the dense treetops and found that there were many houses below, but many of them were empty.
Wang Shuo walked through the woods with his sword and stopped in front of a wooden house.
Not to mention the generosity of Five Hundred Spirit Stones, the wooden house is more than a tiny bit bigger than the wooden house Wu Renqun built for himself.
The wooden house here is worthy of a tavern. Not only that, it is also protected by formations around it.
Wang Shuo jumped off the flying sword, held the token, and approached the formation. The talisman on the token lit up. Wang Shuo walked directly through the formation and entered the formation as if there was nothing.
Seeing this, Wang Shuo smiled. No wonder the Qi monks often felt that the Liang monks were lagging behind. This formation alone showed it.
Wang Shuo entered the room, looked around, nodded, and was very satisfied.
Then Xin'er was released, and Xin'er looked around, seemingly very curious about this new residence.
The spiritual energy here was strong, and there were no other monks around. Seeing this, Wang Shuo put on his Taoist robes, pinned the wooden hairpin on his head, took out the thick book and began to read.
I thought it was a unique skill of the Tianlang Sect, but just after reading the beginning, Wang Shuo was stunned. "The Book of Filial Sons", "Sages' Instructions", "Rites"...
There are actually some volumes about moral cultivation, and there are also words from the elders of the sect: Since the disciples of the Tianlang Sect are mixed, for the sake of the stability and harmony of the sect, all disciples must have moral cultivation.
Wang Shuo curled his lips, threw the booklet aside, sighed, and fell on the bed to sleep.
…
A month later, Wang Shuo let out a long roar and opened his eyes from the bed. At this time, his cultivation had reached the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
The reason why it can be so fast is naturally because the elixir in the foundation building stage is powerful enough.
As for reaching the foundation building stage, you only need to refine a few more elixirs and directly reach the fifteenth level of cultivation. You have already been cleared of marrow by Yi Jing, and there is no need to use the foundation building pills anymore.
Wang Shuo took out the Disciple Token and poured spiritual energy into it from his hand. The token flashed a few times, and a map of the Sirius Sect immediately appeared.
Wang Shuo nodded, and after finding the elixir refining place, he was planning to go there to refine the elixir.
But at this time, someone else's voice came from outside. Wang Shuo hurried out of the house to greet him, and there were two Silver Hairpin disciples standing at the door.
The two of them looked slightly unhappy: "I've been calling here for a long time, and finally I've invited your Buddha statue out!"
Wang Shuo showed an embarrassed look and walked out of the formation: "Senior brothers, please forgive me. I couldn't hear my brother's call while I was practicing!"
One of them waved his hand: "Okay, okay, people don't know and are not surprised, since it's not intentional, that's all!"
Wang Shuo showed a smile and asked: "I wonder what the two senior brothers are talking about when they come to see me?"
"Spot check the recitation, otherwise the new disciples who have joined the sect will not memorize the booklet and have no moral knowledge. The elders must take this matter seriously and cannot be careless!"
Wang Shuo was stunned and froze on the spot, pointing to the room, his mouth slightly opened, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"You're carrying it, why are you standing there in a daze?" said a senior brother.
Wang Shuo swallowed: "Brother, can you go back to the house and take the booklet and take a look at it?"
In response, the senior brother looked at Wang Shuo with wide eyes: "This is the first time in so many years that someone told me to take a second look!"
Another senior brother waved his hand: "Just tell me whether you memorized it or not?"
Wang Shuo felt that something was wrong and asked timidly: "What will happen if my junior brother doesn't memorize it?"
The two senior brothers looked at each other and smiled: "If you don't memorize it, leave it to the elders!"
"Are there any other new senior brothers who have joined the sect?"
The two senior brothers sighed and looked at Wang Shuo regretfully: "If it's normal, there are usually one or two, maybe it's my junior brother's unlucky thing. You are the only one who didn't memorize it this time!"
After speaking, the two took out the chain magic weapon and tied Wang Shuo up. Wang Shuo suddenly couldn't lift even half of the magic power in his body.
Wang Shuo could definitely use his body to hold it open, but when he thought that the worst he could do was to be scolded by the elders, he didn't bother to resist, so he followed the two senior brothers to the central elder hall of the sect.
The two senior brothers left Wang Shuo at the door and left, leaving only one sentence: "Go in yourself!"
Wang Shuo felt slightly uneasy.
The elders are seniors in the Nascent Soul stage. They are monks who have lived for at least four to five hundred years, and they are the kind of seniors who can kill Wu Renqun with a snap of their fingers.
"You won't kill me anyway!"
Wang Shuo pushed open the door and entered, and the scent of sandalwood hit his face.
Wang Shuo had never smelled this smell before, but he thought it was strange and couldn't help but take a few more sips.
The Elder's Hall was very spacious and deserted. Wang Shuo looked around and found a staircase, so he went up the stairs.
Soon after reaching the top, Wang Shuo saw a woman in a blue dress sitting on the Taishi chair, flipping through a book.
Wang Shuo took a closer look and saw that this woman was only in her mid-twenties, and her appearance was absolutely beautiful, no worse than Yan Yue.
He has an oval face and looks as pure and lovely as the little girl. He doesn't look like a Nascent Soul stage elder who has been practicing for four to five hundred years.
"Am I so scary? You don't dare to come forward if you see me?" Suddenly, the woman said, her voice was not loud, but from such a long distance, Wang Shuo felt that the sound came from his ears.
Wang Shuo hurriedly lowered his head and walked forward to the woman.
Wang Shuo secretly glanced at the woman. Seeing her from such a close distance, she was even more fascinating, especially her curvy figure.
The woman put down her book and looked at Wang Shuo.
Wang Shuo only glanced at her and quickly looked away, feeling that his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything about Wang Shuo.
The woman showed a gentle smile: "You have already established the foundation, why are you only at the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Stage?"
Wang Shuo lowered his head, his eyes just resting on a pair of jade feet under the blue skirt: "This disciple was severely injured in the battle with others, and his cultivation has regressed!"
"Then why do you have such white hair?"
"My disciples don't know why this is!"
"Keep your head up!"
Wang Shuo then raised his head and looked at the woman's face.
The woman looked at Wang Shuo for a long time: "He has a good appearance. I'm afraid there are many women out there who are obsessed with him, and he is also a lecher in his fortune."
Wang Shuo was stunned: "Ah...ah? A thief?"
"Tell me, why don't you memorize it? Is it because you think it's useless, or is it because of other reasons?"
Wang Shuo kept squeaking in his mouth, and finally, without knowing why, he uttered: "This disciple cannot read the words in the book!"
As soon as he said this sentence, Wang Shuo was eager to crawl into the cracks in the ground.
The woman, on the other hand, burst out laughing: "Why do you want me to teach you step by step? How can you practice the exercises if you are illiterate?"
"The disciple once had a teacher who taught him orally!"
The woman looked at Wang Shuo again. Wang Shuo quickly kept silent and waited for the woman to speak.
"Let's go, come to my cliff valley tomorrow!" The woman picked up the book she just read on the table and continued reading.
Wang Shuo bowed his head and retreated.
After leaving the Elder's Hall, Wang Shuo was still uneasy in his heart. After sighing, he couldn't help but laugh.
Wang Shuo took out the token and looked at the map, and soon discovered Cliff Valley, which is located in the south of the sect. Could this woman live here?
Wang Shuo accepted the token and sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that after practicing for four to five hundred years, he could still maintain his youthful appearance.
It seemed that the elders were not all skinny skeleton monsters as Wang Shuo thought, which made Wang Shuo feel relieved a lot.
He didn't know what he was going to do when he went to Cliff Valley tomorrow, and Wang Shuo didn't want to think too much about it. Anyway, he would just see what happened tomorrow.
