Born with immortal seed

Chapter 87 What is the True Inheritance?
"Greetings, Uncle Liang; greetings, Uncle Pei."

There were two acquaintances in the private room. Bai Zichen stepped forward, performed the junior's greeting, and stood obediently at the lower end.

"No need for formalities. You're all true disciples now. Don't you have the confidence to be treated as equals with us old folks in the future?"

Bae Dong-young clapped his hands and smiled playfully, his eyes showing a newfound warmth.

"I'll give you a little test. If you achieve Foundation Establishment within fifteen years, I'll find you a low-grade spiritual artifact as a congratulatory gift."

"Then this disciple will thank Uncle Pei in advance."

Bai Zichen didn't hesitate and agreed with a smile.

Newly established foundation builders often spend all their savings on purchasing everything needed for foundation building, leaving them with virtually nothing.

That's why many Foundation Establishment cultivators need to use magical artifacts for a period of time before they have the resources to upgrade to spiritual artifacts.

Even a low-grade spiritual artifact is quite a sum of money.

"Alright, the main reason I called you here is to talk to you about the treatment that a true disciple should receive. Originally, someone was supposed to come looking for you in a few days, but since we both have some free time, we'll chat with you first."

Liang Yu nodded almost imperceptibly, acknowledging Bai Zichen's confidence that he would achieve Foundation Establishment within fifteen years.

“Every true disciple is a genuine seed of immortality for the sect, the hope to inherit the lineage. The future of Qingfeng Sect rests on your shoulders.”

"Of course, the resources the sect invests in you are ten times that of the inner disciples, and several of them are long-term, even if you lose your status as a true disciple in the future."

With Liang Yu's solemn voice, the true disciple finally unveiled its mysterious veil and presented it to Bai Zichen.

The Qingfeng Sect sets an age limit of forty for its true disciples. This means that if a disciple reaches the age of forty or achieves Foundation Establishment, they will automatically lose their status as a true disciple.

The vast majority of elders in the sect are true disciples, but less than half of them are promoted directly to elders as true disciples. The rest are those who have honed their magical power to the point where they can't advance any further, and who have done all kinds of preparations perfectly before attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage before their qi and blood decline.

These people were all over forty years old when they became elders, and could only be called former true disciples.

The sect has set up various rules and regulations because the treatment of true disciples is better than that of Foundation Establishment elders in some aspects. If the threshold is lowered too much, the Qingfeng Sect will not be able to afford it.

The fact that each true disciple can enjoy a piece of low-grade third-level spiritual land alone sets them apart from those cultivation families.

This is a third-tier spiritual land that can be used for Core Formation cultivators. Giving it to Qi Refining cultivators would be a waste of its potential and a great waste of its resources.

But it is precisely because of this that we can see how much Qingfeng Sect values ​​its true disciples.

Article Two: Each true disciple has one free opportunity to redeem a Foundation Establishment spiritual item, and it will not expire.

As long as you were once a true disciple, you can exchange it now, use it twenty years later, or even leave it to your descendants or relatives; the sect will accept it.

If you don't want a Foundation Establishment item but want a Foundation Establishment Pill of a higher rank, you can still be ranked first and exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill in the shortest time by making up the difference in sect contribution.

This point clearly distinguishes the true disciples from the other disciples.

There are also some ordinary benefits, such as first-tier ordinary spiritual materials. As long as the quantity is not too large, the General Affairs Hall will coordinate to allocate them free of charge with just a written order from the true disciple.

"In addition, you should leave a drop of your essence blood in the Hall of Law Enforcement. All the disciples and elders will refine a soul lamp so that the sect can be notified in time in case of an accident. If you really die outside, a special mark will be left on the cultivator who killed you. As long as this person appears within a hundred miles of the soul lamp, there will be a reaction."

"This method is basically available to all sects, with slight differences in the details. Its main purpose is to intimidate outsiders and let them know that we have the means to pursue our enemies and take revenge, so that your sects have more protection when you travel outside."

After explaining the treatment of true disciples in a long and detailed manner, Bai Zichen interrupted with a few questions, which Liang Yu patiently answered.

At this moment, he stood up from his chair, and the majesty of the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement returned to him. A cold and solemn aura made those who looked directly at him unconsciously lower their heads, wanting to hide their inner thoughts.

"As a true disciple, the third floor of the Transmission Hall will be open to you. You will gradually learn about these things in the future. My Qingfeng Sect is descended from Shangyang Zhenjun, a legitimate Taoist sect, which is very different from the heretical and demonic sects here. Although we moved to Heishan County a thousand years ago, we have inevitably been influenced by the local customs, otherwise we would have been isolated and ostracized by the surrounding sects."

"The sect does not restrict the behavior of its disciples; they can act according to their own will. But remember one thing: entering the demonic path is forbidden. Slaughtering living beings, human sacrifice, and other demonic cultivation methods are taboos of our sect. Once violated, the Enforcement Hall will surely expel the sect!"

When Liang Yu finished speaking, his voice was as loud as a great bell, inspiring awe in all who heard it.

"This disciple has remembered it and will never fall into the demonic path."

Although demonic cultivators make rapid progress in the early stages, there are too many hidden dangers later on, and the Great Dao is hard to find.

With his spirit body by his side, Bai Zichen's future seemed promising, so he naturally had no interest in such insidious and vicious demonic techniques and readily agreed.

"That would be best. I hope you will remember what I said today."

Liang Yu seemed a little tired, waved his hand, and said.

"Junior Brother Zhang will come to see you in a few days to arrange the spiritual land and all the trivial matters of becoming a true disciple. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask him then."

Bai Zichen was exhausted after a fierce battle today. Upon seeing that the two big shots had finished their reprimands, he immediately took his leave.

The private room was completely silent, except for the sound of Pei Dongyong drinking spiritual tea, which was particularly clear.

"Senior brother, sit down and try this new tea... Has the ancestor's health deteriorated?"

Pei Dongyong's expression tightened, and he unconsciously lowered his voice, while waving his hand to set up a soundproof spell on the entire room.

"Back then, our ancestor was attacked by a demonic cultivator from the Ghost Spirit Sect who had reached the Core Formation stage. That demonic energy was like a bone-deep infection, impossible to get rid of, and it absorbed his essence every day... That elixir only suppressed the demonic energy; the fifty years of lifespan lost could not be recovered, and it could only be suppressed for a few more years at most."

Liang Yu frowned, only showing his worries on his face in front of this close junior brother.

"Fortunately, the Desolate God Stealing the Sun Technique presented by Junior Nephew Bai has added half a 60-year lifespan to the Ancestor's lifespan... According to the Ancestor himself, once the demonic energy erupts again, its momentum will be even stronger, and he will probably only have 20 years of lifespan left."

"What! Isn't there any other way?"

Pei Dongyong was filled with shock. If this news got out, it could even affect the entire situation in Mizhou, and the Ghost Spirit Sect would definitely start making moves again.

"The old ancestor said it was difficult. He only asked for two things to be completed before he passed away."

Liang Yu withdrew his fleeting weakness and reverted to his aloof and authoritative position as the head of the Law Enforcement Hall.

"First, we will wage a pioneering war to annihilate the third-tier demon king and open another third-tier spiritual vein for our Qingfeng Sect!"

"Secondly, we will seek out three to five truly talented individuals, teach and cultivate them, hoping that the sect will have more Core Formation Real Persons a hundred years from now!"
