Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 120 Apprenticeship
When Lu Zhong heard this, he was stunned.

At the same time, he smiled bitterly in his heart, not knowing how to deal with this.

Subconsciously, he wanted to pinch the path to detect maliciousness. After all, this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing is abnormal no matter how you look at it. It is usually a conspiracy and must be guarded against.

But after thinking about it, he decided to give up this idea.

After all, the other party is a foundation-building cultivator, so it is not difficult to see these small actions. If the "cheap master" is annoyed by this, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble, so it is better to look at it first.

Logically speaking, he is a disciple of Helingzong.

Believe that no matter what, you won't be jumping into a pit.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong decided to say yes.

"Disciple Lu Zhong, pay homage to the master!" Lu Zhong said in his mouth, and bowed down very tactfully.

"Very good! From today onwards, you are my disciple of Shui Ni." The female cultivator named Shui Ni helped Lu Zhong up, looked her up and down, became more and more satisfied, handed out a magic bead and said: "This one is four Lingzhu can resolve the spiritual conflicts of the four spirit arts, so it should be regarded as a meeting gift from the master."

After seeing this scene, other people in the palace reacted differently.

Wei Tie and the others were only surprised, which is a normal person's reaction. Only the young man in white had a froze smile on his face at this moment, looking at the two men, Lv Zhong, who was kind and filial, with strong jealousy in his eyes.

He knew that Shui Ni was currently at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and she was also the elder sister of all the Foundation Establishment monks of the Heling Sect.

Backed by such a big tree, the difficulty of building a foundation will be greatly reduced.

Among other things, the four spirit beads are definitely treasures that even inner disciples dream of obtaining.

But now, Lu Zhong got it easily by means of a meeting gift.

"Bah, what a shit luck!" The young man in white said angrily in his heart.

On the side of the foundation-building monks of the Heling Sect, the expressions on their faces were very exciting when they saw the elder sister suddenly accepting apprentices.

The sun came out from the west, and this person would accept apprentices?
You must know that even if it is a fairy seedling with two spirit roots, Shui Ni used to look down upon it. I never thought that I would choose a four spirit root this time. I really can't see what is so bright about this disciple named Lu Zhong. eyes.

Doubt, do not understand!

Lu Zhong's side.

"My dear disciple, hurry up and come with Master Wei, who happened to be on the way today, and I can take you to complete the entry procedures." After Shui Ni accepted her apprentice, she always smiled and said to Lu Zhong with a smile.

"Yes, Master!" Lu Zhong agreed without any reason to refuse.

Shui Ni released a jasper flying boat, which carried Lu Zhong up into the sky quickly, and flew out of the city. While controlling it, she introduced the specific situation of Helingzong to Lu Zhong. Let him have a preliminary understanding of this sect.

There are more than [-] monks in the entire Heling Sect.

Ninety-nine percent of them are disciples of the Qi refining period, and they can be divided into three categories:
Outer door, inner door, true biography.

There are not many true disciples, and they all worship the real person of alchemy in the sect as their teacher. Basically, their spiritual root qualifications are Erlinggen. They are carefully cultivated as alchemy seeds and enjoy the best resource supply.

You can concentrate on cultivation without being disturbed by foreign affairs.

The number of inner disciples is currently hundreds, and the supply of resources is second only to true disciples.

Occasionally there will be tasks assigned, and you can concentrate on practicing at ordinary times.

As the winner of the ranking competition, Lu Zhong automatically obtained the status of an inner disciple, and will be cultivated as a foundation-building seed, with the goal of cultivating him into the future backbone of the Heling Sect.

If you fail to establish a foundation before the age of sixty, you will lose this treatment and be reduced to an outer disciple.

As for the outer sect disciples, either from the Cultivation Clan, or from the Immortal Seedlings selected by the Immortal Ascension Conference, they have the least amount of resource supply and are also responsible for various miscellaneous chores.

Only those who have cultivated to the late stage of qi refining before the age of thirty can be promoted as inner disciples.

No matter what kind of disciple they are, they must be registered on the Jade Letter in the sect to be regarded as a formal entry, otherwise, even if they participated in the initiation ceremony, they are still not regarded as Helingzong disciples.

And Shui Ni is now taking Lu Zhong to see the head.

The gate of Helingzong is not in Yongling City, but in Heling Mountain a hundred miles away.

Looking up from the flying boat, there are a large number of exquisite buildings distributed on the top of the steep peaks in the distance, connected with each other by covered bridges, looming in the turbulent clouds, like a floating fairy city.

Judging from the current height, the lowest one is estimated to be built on the thousand-zhang mountain.

Lu Zhong originally thought that there would be more buildings row upon row on the mountain, but when the clouds cleared and the mist cleared, he realized that he had thought too much. The entire building of the Helingzong Mountain Gate was all he had just seen.

Soon, the flying boat landed on a mountaintop platform.

This is indeed the interior of the Heling Sect. Under the influence of that third-order giant spiritual vein, the concentration of spiritual energy is far better than that of Yongling City.

Lu Zhong has already decided that he will move here when the affairs in the city are arranged.

While thinking, he followed Shui Ni, and soon came to a square paved with gold bricks. In front of him, there was a large hall with a plaque with the words "Welcome to the Spirit Hall".

When the disciple guarding the door saw someone coming, he immediately greeted him: "The disciple has met the uncle!"

"I want to see the head, please arrange it."

"Yes! Uncle Master, please, this disciple will go to pass it on." Seeing that it was Shui Ni, the gatekeeper disciple didn't dare to neglect the slightest, and hurriedly led the two into the hall, served tea and water, and arranged them in a similar The study room is waiting.

It didn't take long.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps.

Lu Zhong put down his teacup and stood up from his seat, just in time to see a middle-aged man with starry eyes and sword eyebrows walking in. He is seven feet tall and wearing Helingzong costume with the "three spirits in one seal". It exudes an aura that is not inferior to the cheap master Shui Ni.

This is the head of Helingzong, Zhang Lingyi.

The status of the head of the sect is not low, second only to the three jiedan masters, and above the group of deacons who are in charge of specific things.

It can be said that before the real person spoke, the head of the sect was the supreme leader of the Heling sect.

Here, Zhang Lingyi had a few words with Shui Ni, and the topic quickly shifted to Lu Zhong.

"Senior Sister Shui, could this be your newly recruited disciple? He really is a talent!"

"Of course!" Shui Ni looked very complacent.

When Lu Zhong, who was next to him, heard it, he couldn't help but slander, don't you even feel humble?
"Are you here to register? Come, nephew, fill out this form, and then sign your own name on this sworn oath." Zhang Lingyi handed out two things one after another, respectively It's a table and an oath.

Lu Zhong quickly filled out the registration form.

When it was his turn to make an oath made of gold leaf, his face became serious.

Read it carefully. Judging from the content of the oath, the role of this oath is obvious. It is mainly to prevent spies from entering the sect. Once signed, it means that the content of the agreement must be strictly abided by. It also includes not betraying the sect, not Collusion with foreign enemies and the like.

If there is any violation, the inner demon will invade, and the five thunders will strike the top.

Without hesitation, Lu Zhong signed his name.

Immediately, there was an inexplicable reaction in my heart, as if the oath seemed to have really taken effect.

Zhang Lingyi put away the two documents, got up and walked to the empty space in the room.

With a wave of his hand, a large book appeared on the ground, almost half the height of a person, and it was about the size of a square table when it was opened.

Come to think of it, this is the so-called jade ultimatum.

After the registration, Zhang Lingyi handed Lu Zhong a storage bag, and said: "The registration has been completed, and there is a set of robes of our Helingzong in the bag. If the nephew thinks it doesn't fit, you can go to the Hall of Miscellaneous Affairs for free." Revise.

This year's Zongmen welfare is in it this time, and the nephew needs to go to the Miscellaneous Hall to collect it by himself in the future.

Then there is the identity token, which is necessary for identity verification and cannot be lost.

If the nephew wants to know more about the sect, you can check the jade slip in the bag, the content on it will be revised every ten years, or you can come to me, and I can also give you an answer.

As for the martial arts, after the master and nephew decide what kind of inheritance to follow, then go to the Chuan Gong Hall to choose by yourself. You can ask the Chuan Gong deacon for specific matters at that time, and it is inconvenient for me to say more here. "

After speaking, he handed out another jade token.

"The protective jade tablet I made by myself can withstand three strikes with the full strength of Foundation Establishment. It can be regarded as a meeting gift for my nephew."

"It's really a big deal!" Lu Zhong thought to himself.

The effect of the jade token is similar to that of the Qingyang amulet, but its effect is comparable to that of the golden light talisman. In terms of value, at least it is more than three digits of spirit stones. This meeting gift is not insignificant.

However, this should be for the sake of my master... oh no, for the sake of my master.

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

"My dear student, you go back by yourself first, I have something to discuss with the head."

Shui Ni rarely restrained her smile, and put on a serious expression.

Lu Zhongzhi said goodbye.

Stepping out of the palace gate, I faintly heard behind me:
"...Senior sister, about the ranking battle..."

"I know, one didn't run away!" Shui Ni's indifferent voice came.

Hearing this, Lu Zhong's face changed slightly.

Before, he had found out by accident that someone wanted to tamper with the ranking battle, but the ranking battle was held smoothly, and it turned out that it was because Shui Ni got rid of him.

If one didn't run away, it didn't know how many lives it represented behind it.

"It seems that my master is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Lu Zhong shook his head, not surprised.

The status is all based on strength, which can be seen from the attitudes of those uncles. The words are full of awe for the cheap master, and even the old man with a dove stick dare not make a mistake.

Walking down the covered bridge from Yingling Hall, Lu Zhong walked towards the poultry house.

There are spiritual birds for rent in the poultry house, which are used by qi refining disciples for transportation.After all, the core gates of Helingzong are all built on the top of the mountain, and it is inconvenient for Qi refining disciples who can't fly to travel, so they must have spirit birds to travel.

"Perhaps, I should learn a flying spell?" Lu Zhong thought to himself.

At the late stage of Qi refining, the spiritual power in the monk's body began to increase sharply, so it was possible to afford the spiritual power consumption of flying spells or flying magic weapons.

Just thinking that he still had two spells to master, he decided to take it easy.

Practicing flying spells is just an addiction. Various flying spells suitable for the Qi refining period are limited by the quality and quantity of spiritual power, and their practicality is very general. They can't fly as fast as they can run on the ground.
Rather than wasting these efforts, it would be more realistic to just buy the flying magic weapon directly.

While walking while thinking, Lu Zhong found an opportunity halfway and changed his clothes into Helingzong vestments.

It's not that he is impatient, but that the cassock is really good.

Perhaps it is the treatment only available to inner disciples. This is a top-grade robe with three supernatural powers attached to it.

They are: Avoiding Dust, Looting Wind, and Gathering Spirits.

Among them, Bichen and Gathering Spirits are both small supernatural powers.

As the name suggests, the spirit-gathering small supernatural power is similar to the spirit-gathering array, which can automatically gather the spiritual energy of the world and increase the speed of cultivation during cultivation. It is a very useful small supernatural power.

As for Luefeng, it is the upper-level magical power of the small magical power of sheltering from the wind, and has a stronger effect of sheltering from the wind.

Trying to open it, Lu Zhong found that the spiritual wind gathered all over his body, and his whole body seemed to be integrated into the wind, which reflected that it was effortless to walk, and it was completely the wind that lifted him forward.

Really worthy of supernatural powers!
As we walked, birdsong began to sound in front of us, and the poultry house arrived.

The poultry house was built on a giant tree, and the branches were covered with cages of various sizes. There were many spiritual birds in it. Almost every bird was about ten feet tall, and its wingspan was several times its height.

It is conceivable how majestic it must be to sit on the backs of these spiritual birds.

"This senior brother wants to rent a spirit bird. Please show your identity token, and let me register for you." The disciple Qinfang, who was dressed as an outer disciple, said in a respectful tone.

Looking at the low-grade cassock on the other party, Lu Zhong handed out his identity token and said, "What is the price for renting spirit birds now? Well, just the commonly used ones will be fine."

"It hasn't changed much. Whether it's a red-tailed eagle for traveling or a bull-headed crane for carrying goods, the price is still the price of a little good deeds per day." The disciple of Qinfang answered every question, and she didn't want to offend an inner disciple.

Hearing this, Lu Zhong's eyes fell on a huge white crane with protruding feathers on both sides of its head, resembling a bull's horn. He thought that since it was used to carry goods, his temperament would be much gentler, which is suitable for a novice like himself.

So he said: "Let the bull-headed crane be rented for three days, and give it to the spirit stone."

The reason why it is deliberately said to be paid by Lingshi is because good deeds in the door are rare.

A bit of good deeds can be exchanged for one spirit stone, but one spirit stone can't be exchanged for a little bit of good deeds.

Good deeds are extremely important. Whether it is used to exchange for various elixir instruments, to exchange for additional exercises you want, or to entrust the help of the seniors of the master, you need to consume different amounts of good deeds.

It is still hard to earn good deeds, just take inner disciples as an example.

Every year, five hundred good deeds will be distributed in the sect. If you want more good deeds, you can only get them by taking the initiative to accept tasks. In disguise, it is a kind of tempering for the disciples.

Hearing Lu Zhong's words, Qinfang disciple nodded and did not speak.

Things like renting spirit birds can be paid with spirit stones by default. Only when exchanging for skills and treasures, good deeds must be used.

Soon, Lu Zhong got the beast control order to control the spirit birds.

Like this kind of "bus" spirit beast, the master-servant contract signed by them is slightly special. The spirit beast here still signs the slave-servant contract, and the master contract is not signed by a specific monk, but by the beast-monitoring token in his hand. .

Because the order of beast control must be worn out, the service period of the spirit bird is also limited.

Once the beast-monitoring order is damaged, the spirit beast cannot sign a new slave contract. At this time, there are usually two ways to deal with it. One is to let it fly, and the other is to obtain various materials after slaughtering it.

In fact, the way the "bus" spirit beast is handled is usually the latter.

These messages flashed through his mind, and Lu Zhong didn't continue to think about it.

"Brother, there is something I still want to say."

The disciple of Qinfang released the bull-headed crane, touched and comforted his emotions, and said: "Recently, there have been a few spirit birds that were so hungry that they ran back by themselves, so if you are not really free, brother, it is best to feed them regularly. It eats things, the Ox-headed Crane is not picky about food, no matter it is rice or meat, if senior brother can feed more delicious food, it might fly even harder."

"Thank you for the reminder!" Lu Zhong cupped his hands.
