Chapter 868 Fat Monk
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin became somewhat interested in the prohibition token in his hand. As for the jade box, he had already known through his spiritual consciousness that it contained a good-quality primary spiritual weapon.
For a disciple who has just started, being able to reward a primary spiritual weapon is considered very generous.
Of course, Xiao Lin naturally looked down upon spiritual weapons, so he put them away casually.
"This ban token has many benefits. Senior brother, I don't know all of them, but I still know a few uses. For example, you can use the ban token to go to the second floor of Tiandao Building. Only disciples of the third generation or above can receive it. tasks, and you can also go to the second floor of the Sutra Collection Building to watch the cultivation experiences of the senior masters in the sect. Of course, the most important use is that you can participate in the lectures of the second-generation chief elder once a month. Speaking of Dharma, you must know that even many third-generation disciples do not have this qualification."
Wu Tianhua said, with an expression of envy on his face again. Even Xia Mo, Murong Yan and others behind Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Lin with envy.
Xiao Lin was also a little surprised. He had not originally planned to be so high-profile, but after all, he brought Xia Mo and Murong Yan with him. If the speed slowed down, they might not be able to survive until the end.
But what he didn't expect was that he accidentally got the first place and actually got this very useful ban token. For him, it was an unexpected surprise.
Xiao Lin saw that Wu Tianhua was deliberately trying to please him, so he asked politely about some common sense about the Emperor Haoran Tianzong.
Through Wu Tianhua, Xiao Lin understood that in principle, the disciples of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong were divided into five generations. The first generation was the monks who even Wu Tianhua didn’t know existed, the second generation was the Yuanying stage monks, and the ten The four great monks are called the chief second-generation elders, but there are still some differences in status according to their own responsibilities.
For example, the sect leader of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong must have a higher status than the other thirteen great monks, while the true emperor of the Daqian Dynasty must have a higher status than the other twelve great monks.
The third generation is the Golden elixir monk, who is considered the backbone of the Emperor Haoran Tianzong. Most of the disciples who know how to practice and deal with some sect affairs are managed by the third generation disciples.
The fourth generation is naturally the foundation-building monk, and is mainly responsible for some important basic work within the sect, such as managing the spiritual field, imitation of utensils, alchemy pavilion, etc.
The fourth generation disciples are also called true disciples, and among the fourth generation disciples, there are still a small number of core disciples. These disciples are basically trained with emphasis, and there is a high probability that they will be able to advance to the golden elixir stage in the future. .
The fifth generation is the lowest cultivation monk in the Qi Refining Stage, and is also called a direct disciple. After the fifth generation disciples join the sect, they will worship the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage as their teachers, so they are also called direct disciples.
Compared with the Dancao Mountain where Xiao Lin was born, it is much more humane. Xiao Lin was basically in a state of being free-range for a long time after he joined the Dancao Mountain. It was not until he established the foundation that he officially joined the Dancao Mountain. He became the disciple of Su Qingyun.
Moreover, in Dancao Mountain, many foundation-building disciples also practice on their own. At most, their doubts are answered by the Golden Dan cultivator once every few months.
In contrast, the system of cultivating disciples of the Great Emperor Haoran Tian Sect is very human-like and reasonable, which can avoid low-level disciples from taking detours and is conducive to the overall development of the sect.
Among the fifth-generation disciples, there are also a small number who can worship the third-generation disciples as their teachers and directly become the fourth-generation disciples. Such people are relatively rare. They can only participate in the Climbing Road Trial and achieve the top five results.
Hearing this, Xia Mo and Murong Yan were immediately excited. On the contrary, Xiao Lin's heart sank and he glanced at Xia Mo.
Wu Tianhua also had an amiable attitude towards everyone's questions and answered them in detail and patiently, which greatly increased everyone's goodwill towards him.
Soon, more and more people gathered in Xianyuan Pavilion. Later, there were at least three to four hundred people, and an hour had passed. In other words, this time, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the Heavenly Road trial. Among the people, only three to four hundred people passed through, which can be said to be one in a thousand.
This probability made Xiao Lin sigh with emotion. He thought that the probability of him passing the burrow trial was much higher than the probability of passing the trial on the road to heaven.
Of course, the Emperor Haoran Tianzong recruits not only these three or four hundred disciples every year. You must know that the Emperor Haoran Tianzong also includes the Daqian Dynasty, the Thirty-six Mountain Sect, and the Three Hundred and Sixty Branches. These places have His own way of beckoning disciples, but compared to the trials on the Road to Heaven, the status of beckoning disciples in these places is slightly lower within the sect.
Just like the secular imperial examination, if both were born as Jinshi, but entered the Hanlin Academy and were sent to the local area to become a county magistrate, their future prospects were completely different.
Wu Tianhua saw that the trial was over. All those who had passed the trial had arrived at the Xianyuan Pavilion. The faces of those who passed through all had expressions of excitement. Being able to worship the Emperor Haoran Tianzong meant that the path to immortality was bright. Not only In this way, their entire family will undergo earth-shaking changes because of them.
If it is a cultivating family, it will definitely be able to greatly expand its power, and the cultivators in the family will be able to obtain more resources, because basically few people dare to provoke such a family. Once provoked, God knows whether someone will fall from the sky. A high-level monk wiped out his family.
And if it is a mortal family, then one person will be able to ascend to heaven. You must know that becoming a member of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong is better than being a Jinshi in the Daqian Dynasty. As long as there is a mortal family who worships the Emperor Haoran Tianzong, they are called Personal disciples can basically control the situation locally.
Many officials will take the opportunity to curry favor, and it is customary for families to promote filial piety and integrity as officials.
Therefore, it is not surprising that these people who have passed the trial on the road to heaven are extremely excited.
Soon the four young men and women in their twenties also flew to Xianyuan Pavilion. It was obvious that the road to heaven had been closed again.
"Congratulations to everyone, you have passed the trial of the Road to Heaven. From today on, you have officially become a direct disciple of our Emperor Haoran Tianzong. Later, I will lead you to the Newcomer Hall to receive items. The first five people in the trial will Congratulations to those of you, Mr. Wu. You will have the opportunity to directly join the sect of the third generation disciples and become the fourth generation true disciples. As for the various benefits of true disciples, I think there are many who have known about our Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong. , it’s probably clear, and I won’t go into details. Please take the four junior brothers and sisters to the Newcomer Hall.”
The four young men and women nodded one after another, then greeted everyone and led them towards a stone staircase in the Xianyuan Pavilion. This stone staircase continued upwards, leading to the top of the mountain.
After most of them left, Wu Tianhua looked at Xiao Lin and the other five people and said with a smile: "Everyone, come with me."
With that said, he walked towards another stone staircase path in the Xianyuan Pavilion.
Xiao Lin and others followed Wu Tianhua for about half an hour. When they climbed another two thousand feet, their eyes suddenly became clear.
They climbed the steps and discovered that there was a huge square on top of the six or seven thousand-foot peak. The square was semicircular, and at the end of the semicircle were rows of white jade stones. palace.
On the mountain behind the palace, countless densely packed houses were built close to the mountain peaks. These houses continued down the mountain. At first glance, there were at least hundreds of thousands of houses.
These houses are built of red nanmu, which looks a bit primitive, and they are also well-proportioned. Not only do they not appear cluttered, but they have a sense of beauty.
Above the house, small palaces were built one after another against the mountain wall, extending to near the top of the mountain.
These small palaces can only be owned by third-generation disciples. Ordinary direct disciples, and even true disciples like Xiao Lin, cannot own them.
As soon as Wu Tianhua and the five people came to the square, five spiritual lights fell from the sky. Xiao Lin glanced and saw that the five people were three men and two women, and they all looked to be in their forties.
The five people came directly to Wu Tianhua and looked at Xiao Lin and the other five people.
One of the middle-aged women in her forties, dressed as a Taoist nun, suddenly looked at Xia Mo with bright eyes.
Another old woman who looked to be in her fifties also turned her attention to Xia Mo, with a look of surprise on her face.
Xiao Lin understood that although these two people could not determine Xia Mo's talent, their spiritual sense as a Jindan monk told them that the woman in front of them had excellent root bone talent and at least had the qualifications of the earth spirit root.
One of the five, a fat man in his forties, looked at Xiao Lin.
"He is the first place in this heavenly trial?"
Although Xiao Lin had sealed most of his magic power and spiritual consciousness, he could still tell at a glance that the fat man in front of him was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, while the other four people were in the early stage of the Golden Core.
In Xiao Lin's eyes, such a state was naturally looked down upon, but in order to have a chance to enter the Sutra Library, Xiao Lin decided to compromise.
"Reporting to Uncle Lei, his name is Xiao Shi, and he is the first placer in this trial of the Road to Heaven."
"I see, you are only at the Dzogchen level of Qi refining, but your magic power is far beyond that of ordinary practitioners at the Dzogchen level of foundation building. Could it be that you have practiced some kind of technique that can condense your magic power?"
"Reporting to Senior Lei, when I was young, I went hunting in the mountains. I accidentally entered a valley and swallowed a red fruit the size of a fist. The surface of the fruit was covered with a skin like fine scales. Since then, "When this junior is practicing, his magic power increases very quickly, and his magic power is always stronger than that of monks of the same level."
When the fat monk heard this, his face suddenly showed an expression of surprise, and his facial features were all squeezed into a pile.
"Could it be the legendary third-level spiritual fruit ambergris? It seems that you are not a small fortune, and even such good things happened to you. Later, although ambergris is full of medicinal power, it is relatively mild. , even if it cannot be absorbed, it will be integrated into the body's flesh and blood meridians without harming itself. "
Xiao Lin secretly laughed in his heart. The story he made up at random was naturally not without purpose. The ambergris fruit is an extremely rare third-level spiritual fruit. It can indeed expand the qi sea of the Dantian of the immortal cultivator, allowing the immortal cultivator to refining his energy during the Qi refining period. Possessing far more mana than the same level.
However, this expanded Dantian Qihai will gradually disappear once it reaches the foundation-building stage. By the time it reaches the golden elixir stage, it will basically be the same as an ordinary golden elixir monk.
Because this ability to expand the sea of Qi in the Dantian is only once, and every improvement in the realm will bring about changes in the sea of Qi in the Dantian, and this change is a qualitative change, which will directly offset the effect of ambergris fruit.
Sure enough, after the fat monk marveled, he also showed a slightly disappointed expression on his face. He originally thought that he had picked up a disciple with excellent talent. If he had a good cultivation of fairy roots, he might be able to benefit from it in the future.
Now that I know that this person just took an ambergris fruit by mistake, I am naturally disappointed.
But this is the sect's rule. All the top five disciples on the road to heaven must become the disciples of the third generation. If there is a quota under his subordinates, he will be assigned to recruit disciples.
The fat monk looked at the other people. Except that his eyes lit up when he saw Xia Mo, the other people were pretty much the same. Among this generation of disciples, only that girl seemed to have a pretty good talent.
But as a male cultivator, it is not impossible to recruit a female disciple. However, in order to avoid gossip among fellow disciples, most students will only recruit same-sex disciples. This is why two female third-generation disciples came.
The fat monk couldn't help but sigh slightly, then pointed at Xiao Lin and said, "Do it to me."
Xiao Lin came to the side of the fat monk. With a wave of his sleeves, a blue spiritual light spread out, wrapped Xiao Lin, then turned into a rainbow, flew towards the mountain, and disappeared on the mountain wall in the blink of an eye. In that densely packed palace.
After Xiao Lin was taken away, the remaining four third-generation disciples also picked their own disciples to take away. Xia Mo was taken away by the middle-aged Taoist nun, while Murong Yan was taken away by the fifty-year-old man.
Xiao Lin followed the fat monk and soon came to a palace. After landing, Xiao Lin saw the plaque "Water Wave Palace" on the palace.
"Come in with me."
The fat monk waved his sleeves and robes, and the palace door opened on its own. He walked in first, and Xiao Lin followed closely. Only when he walked inside did he realize that the palace was actually very spacious, with courtyards and inner courtyards. Passing through the screen between the inner and outer courtyards, Xiao Lin followed the fat monk to the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard was actually a pond. The water was green and clear. There were several lotus leaves the size of millstones floating on the water. From one side of these lotus leaves, several red flower mushrooms sprang out.
Although it has not bloomed yet, it already fills the whole courtyard with a refreshing fragrance.
The two of them did not stop, and soon walked into the main room of the inner courtyard. The room was only three to four feet wide. There were three stone doors in the inner room, with ancient seals on them saying "Alchemy Room, Cultivation Room". ,bedroom".
When Xiao Lin saw the words "alchemy room", he was slightly startled. He couldn't help but glance at the fat monk and thought to himself, could this fat monk actually be an alchemist?
"Sit down?"
There were only three futons in the room. The inner one was slightly larger and the two outer ones were slightly smaller. Xiao Lin sat on the outer left futon.
The fat monk sat on the futon inside.
