My projections are all the roots of the Holy Spirit.

Chapter 402 Five Thunder Sect

In the blink of an eye, January passed.

Inside the natural Taoist palace cave.

Xu Jun practiced silently, and suddenly his heart moved slightly, and he felt something in his heart.

After thinking about it, his mind moved slightly, and a sign saying "No Visitors Allowed" was immediately hung at the entrance of the cave.

With his current status and reputation in the Taoist Palace, as long as this sign is hung out, even Master Huang Kan will give him some face.

After turning off the reminder on his watch, Xu Jun's mind immediately connected to the light spot of the projected world in his mind.

At this moment, the light spot in the world of thunder is emitting bright light.

In a flash, Xu Jun's spiritual thoughts were put into it, and he entered the Thunder Projection World in the form of a clone.

The world before my eyes seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and then everything returned to normal.

However, Xu Jun was no longer in the cave of the Natural Taoist Palace, but had come to an unknown forest.

Looking up, Xu Jun immediately saw Xu Fei from the Thunder World.

He was not surprised by Xu Jun's arrival because he was the one who summoned him.

However, after knowing the conditions for Xu Jun to come, even he himself was not sure whether Xu Jun could come as he wished.

Fortunately, Xu Jun had some free time this time and he really came.

"Fellow Daoist, what's the matter?" Xu Jun asked with a smile.

If two people open their hearts, they will know it immediately.

However, through verbal communication, two people can appear to be in perfect harmony and have a mutual understanding, so that nothing is exposed in front of outsiders.

Therefore, no matter which world Xu Jun goes to, he will be prepared for this.

In most cases, he would communicate verbally first. Of course, if there was an emergency, and he needed to communicate with his heart, he would not be pedantic.

Xu Fei nodded slightly towards Xu Jun and said, "This is at the foot of the Five Thunder Sect Mountain. I want to go in and take a look."

Five Thunder Sect.

It is one of the most powerful sects in this world.

It is said that there are more than one Yuanying Zhenjun in this sect.

Of course, this is just a legend. Among the people Xu Fei knows, no one can give a precise answer.

However, Xu Fei is a natural born holy body of thunder, and practicing thunder magic is as easy as eating and drinking.

Therefore, he has always been fascinated by the Five Thunder Sect.

Since Xu Fei completely mastered the ability to create third-level talismans, he could no longer stay in that cave.

So, in order to fulfill his long-cherished wish, he finally came to the gate of the Five Thunder Sect.

Xu Jun nodded slightly and said, "Okay, go in, I'll keep watch for you."

Xu Fei reached out and handed over a space ring.

Although Xu Jun has mastered the three major space bodies, Xu Fei has no space body because he has never practiced physical skills, and can only use space storage equipment.

This space ring contains all the belongings that Xu Fei has accumulated over the years.

No one could guarantee what results Xu Fei would get if he entered the Five Thunder Sect. So, it would be a fool's errand to bring a large amount of wealth with him.

That's why Xu Fei summoned Xu Jun and offered all his belongings to him.

Xu Jun took the ring in his hand and felt a little emotional.

Before he left the Kendo world, he entrusted all his equipment and other items to Kendo Xu Jun.

But unexpectedly, just about a month later, when I entered another projection world, I was transformed into a property custodian.

Xu Jun flashed and found a secluded place to hide.

With his ability to conceal his aura, even if the Nascent Soul ancestor came, he might not be able to find him easily.

Then, his mind sank and he entered a state of sharing sight with Xu Fei.

At this time, Xu Fei, after throwing away the space ring, suddenly became much more active.

He walked up the stairs silently.

Soon, he saw a huge and boundless wall and two monks guarding the mountain road.

They clearly heard the sound of Xu Fei hurrying on his way, but there was no fluctuation in his expression when his eyes opened and closed.

Occasionally, he glanced in Xu Fei's direction, then immediately looked away.

In a blink of an eye, Xu Jun arrived in front of the Five Thunder Sect's building complex. He clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "My two fellow Taoists, I am a casual cultivator and would like to join the Five Thunder Sect to practice. Is that possible?"

Xu Jun, who was sharing an eye with Xu Fei, was shocked.

He knew that Xu Fei was quite curious about the process of practicing thunder magic in this world, but he didn't expect his obsession to be so strong.

Although Xu Jun has never actually practiced in a super sect, because of Kendo Xu Jun, he knows very well how this orthodox super sect operates.

All super sects will open their doors to the public within a certain period of time to recruit talents from all over the world.

However, after the mountain gate is opened, there are two ways to recruit people.

One is to recruit those who are young and have the talent for cultivating immortals. Moreover, these people must be of good family background and have been under the rule of the sect for three generations.

Taking the Qinglian Sword Sect as an example, every time before the mountain gate is opened, countless teams will be sent out first.

They would travel the entire sect's territory in a short period of time, and then select those with spiritual roots. After returning to the mountain, they would first serve them with good food and drink, and then during the official opening ceremony, these people would go out to fill the scene and let all outsiders know.

The sect has a successor.

Another way of recruiting is to target those independent cultivators who have some skills.

In the eyes of the real disciples of the big sects, the independent cultivators are just a group of beggars.

However, those who can truly stand out among the independent cultivators should not be underestimated.

Apart from having less resources and opportunities, their ambitions and strength are not weak.

However, the super sects did not have much good intentions in recruiting these independent cultivators.

After they recruited them, they would send out tasks to earn points, so that these casual cultivators could indulge in them every day. Although the rewards for the tasks were not high, compared to casual cultivators, they were already quite good.

Therefore, the vast majority of independent cultivators will have only one outcome after being recruited.

That is to continuously complete various tasks assigned by the sect until one is too old to do it anymore.

At that time, they would either leave on their own or buy property at the foot of the sect's mountain, get married and have children, leaving the chance to become immortals for their descendants.

And if their descendants still want to join the sect, they will have a little face and their starting point will be much better than that of ordinary people.

But anyway, this kind of treatment...

Xu Jun originally thought that although Xu Fei kept talking about wanting to go to the Five Thunder Sect.

But the most he could do was to find a few people to practice thunder magic with.

As for joining the Five Thunder Sect as a casual cultivator and being tortured like a hawk, Xu Jun felt it was not worth it.

"Haha." One of the gatekeepers said with a smile: "Daoyou wanted to attend the sect's founding ceremony. It's a pity that you came a step too late." He smiled and said: "Come back in three to five years."

Xu Fei's face darkened slightly, and he secretly complained in his heart.

It is true that it is easier to meet the King of Hell than to deal with the little ghosts.

However, is the Five Thunder Sect's founding ceremony for recruiting disciples held every three to five years?
After thinking for a while, Xu Fei clasped his fists and said, "My two fellow Taoists, I want to join your sect's inner sect. I wonder what the requirements are."

The two gatekeepers were both startled, and their expressions became a little strange.

Inner door?

Whether in a super sect or an ordinary sect, the words "inner sect" represent unlimited prospects and are the backbone of the sect in the future.

This seemingly inconspicuous guy in front of me actually dares to covet the inner gate. He is really... so bold and ignorant.

One of them finally couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey, fellow Taoist, do you know what the inner gate is?"

Xu Fei said seriously: "The inner sect must be the top formal disciples." He thought for a moment and then said: "Are there any requirements? Is the foundation building stage enough?"

The two guards were stunned and looked at Xu Fei with surprise in their eyes.

"Daoyou, no, Senior has already established his foundation?"

The two of them were merely cultivating their Qi, otherwise they would not have been assigned the task of guarding the gate.

Xu Fei climbed the mountain to join the sect, not to make enemies. Therefore, he restrained his aura, and others could not see his true cultivation.

Nodding slightly, Xu Fei said slowly: "Yes."

The two men's faces suddenly became serious, and one of them said, "Senior, the foundation-building stage is enough, but there is one condition that I'm afraid you can't meet."

If a casual cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage meets a Foundation Establishment Stage, he will definitely be extremely respectful, and may even want to kneel down and call the cultivator dad.

However, it is different for sect disciples.

They have strong enough confidence and foundation, so even if they meet a casual cultivator who has established his foundation, they still answer with neither humility nor overbearance.

Xu Fei said in a deep voice: "What?"

"If you want to enter the inner sect, you not only need to build a foundation, but also have strong enough potential and experience practicing in this sect since childhood."

Xu Fei frowned slightly and said slowly: "Experience, is it so unfair?"

The two men's mouth corners twitched slightly. Isn't this nonsense?

Can there be fairness between sect disciples and independent practitioners?
However, they certainly did not dare to offend a Foundation Establishment cultivator casually, and they only released the news secretly during the conversation.

Sure enough, at this moment, a figure walked out from the inner door.

He was a tall man with a full beard.

"Haha, I'm Yi Chao from the Five Thunder Sect. I don't know what to call you."

Seeing the big man arrive, the two gatekeepers breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they all knew that as long as this casual cultivator was not crazy, he would never attack them in this situation.

But no matter what, with the level of Qi training, facing a person who looks weird and a little abnormal in building the foundation, the psychological pressure is still quite great.

"My name is Xu Fei."

Yi Chao laughed and said, "It's Brother Xu. Come, come, please follow me inside and I will treat you to a drink." Xu Fei was led into the Five Thunder Sect by the enthusiastic Yi Chao.

Of course, this is just the outer gate of the Five Thunder Sect. There are no secrets inside. As more people have seen it, it is not surprising anymore.

After a while, Yi Chao took him into a side room and said with a smile: "I heard that fellow Daoist wants to join our Five Thunder Sect?"

"Yes."

"I don't know why you have such an idea?"

Xu Fei said without hesitation: "I am also a thunder cultivator. Now I have reached the middle stage of foundation building and have encountered a bottleneck. So I want to observe the Five Thunder Sect's cultivation secrets. If I can learn one or two, it will be enough."

Yi Chao opened his mouth, but at this moment he didn't know what to say.

He is a foundation-building cultivator in charge of external reception in the Five Thunder Sect. He is known for his meticulous observation and good speaking skills.

When he heard Xu Fei say that he was a thunder cultivator, he had actually roughly guessed the other party's intention.

However, over the past few decades, he has received countless people, and every time he made such a request, the other party's expression was so embarrassed, even timid.

However, it is extremely rare to find someone as upright as Xu Jun.

He wanted to refuse outright, but when he saw those bright eyes full of expectation, his heart suddenly swelled and he couldn't say the words of refusal.

After a moment's silence, Yi Chao said, "Friend Xu, have you ever heard of the saying that the Dharma should not be passed on to the six ears?"

Xu Fei nodded and said, "I know that the various cultivation secrets of the Five Thunder Sect are the greatest wealth of your sect. I am not greedy and want to watch it for free. I can provide exchange materials."

Yi Chao burst into laughter. Exchange for materials?
You, a casual cultivator, actually asked me to exchange materials?
This tone is really too arrogant.

However, he thought again, although independent cultivators are far inferior to sect disciples in all aspects, there are too many independent cultivators. If one of them is lucky enough to obtain some rare treasure...

His spirits were lifted immediately, and he asked solemnly: "Excuse me, Brother Xu, what supplies do you plan to exchange?"

"talisman."

"Talisman...?" Yi Chao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, a talisman." Xu Fei said proudly, "I drew it."

Yi Chao couldn't help but roll his eyes. Damn it, he was overthinking it.

He originally thought that this casual cultivator must have dug up some rare treasure, which was why he came here on such a whim to seek the secret technique.

If the treasure is really of rare treasure level, perhaps the sect will really give some benefits.

It is naturally impossible to give away the inherited secret method, but it is not a big deal to give away the other complete sets of auxiliary secret methods.

But I didn't expect the other party to actually talk about talismans!
Damn it, is it possible that the mighty Five Thunder Sect lacks talismans?
In the Talisman Hall, there are monks who specialize in studying, researching, teaching, and drawing talismans every day.

This is the normal practice of super sects in training successors.

As for the self-satisfied guy in front of him, Yi Chao really had nothing to say.

Just as Yi Chao was thinking over and over again, wondering whether he should find a reason to send this man away, he saw Xu Fei take out a few talismans and placed them in front of him.

"Friend Yi Dao, this is the talisman I drew. I wonder if it will please you."

Yi Chao hesitated for a moment, but still took it.

In fact, he didn't want to watch anymore. Even if a casual cultivator had learned the art of talismans, what level could he have reached?

He believed that some independent cultivators were gifted with extraordinary talents and had superior combat abilities.

However, among the independent cultivators, there are also some who are able to stand out in the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals and surpass the disciples specially trained by the sects...

He didn't believe that.

But, now that it’s right in front of me, it seems unreasonable not to take a look at it.

So Yi Chao lowered his head and took a look.

Just one glance.

Huh?
The corner of his eye twitched suddenly, and countless questions arose in his mind.

This talisman!
Although he is not a talisman master, he has been in the reception position for many years and his eyesight has been well-trained.

Judging from the faint aura and pressure released by this talisman, it is actually a third-level talisman.

Third-level talisman?

Yi Chao suddenly looked up, and this time the look he gave Xu Fei was completely different.

Normally, when cultivators practice the hundred arts of immortality, their highest level is also the limit of their cultivation.

This means that cultivators in the Qi training stage can only draw first-order talismans, and cultivators in the foundation-building stage can only draw second-order talismans.

And being able to draw a third-level talisman is something that only a Jindan Zhenren can do.

However, there are always exceptions.

Some people who have special talents in certain areas are able to reach a higher level.

For example, this casual foundation-building cultivator in front of me could actually produce a third-level talisman...

Yi Chao stared at Xu Fei intently, while Xu Fei had a blank expression on his face, not caring at all about his inquiring gaze.

Yi Chao's heart suddenly started beating like thunder.

If it was just a second-level talisman master, the Five Thunder Sect wouldn't really care.

However, among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, any one of them will have a qualitative improvement when it reaches the third level.

Such a person will be treated as a guest of honor wherever he goes.

An extremely strange thought popped up in Yi Chao's mind.

Could it be that today is my turn for luck?
He took a deep breath and said, "Daoyou, are you sure that these talismans were drawn by you yourself?"

Xu Fei nodded slightly and said, "That's right."

"Okay." Yi Chao forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart and continued to read.

When he turned to the fifth page, he could no longer sit still.

He stood up suddenly, and the hand holding the talisman couldn't help but tremble.

This talisman, this talisman...

If he was not mistaken, this was actually a third-level thunder magic talisman.

At this moment, his heart was screaming madly.

impossible!
Thunder magic talisman, and it is a third-level one.

This is the signature feature of their Five Thunder Sect.

Apart from the Five Thunder Sect, no other sect can draw third-level thunder talismans.

Because of the special properties of thunder magic, except for the few true masters of talismans in the Five Thunder Sect, other talisman practitioners, no matter how high their attainments in this area, are unable to grasp the unique special properties of thunder magic, let alone seal it in talismans.

This method is definitely the secret of the Five Thunder Sect.

Yi Chao's lips trembled twice and he made a decision in an instant in his heart that no matter what, he could not let the person in front of him go.

Even though his talisman skills did not come from the Five Thunder Sect, he must not be allowed to leave.

Otherwise, the Five Thunder Sect's most important secret technique would be revealed to the public.

However, he could never have imagined that Xu Fei's drawing skills were special and no one else could learn them except him.

"My friend, I have prepared a banquet. We hit it off right away. Let's have a drink first."

Yi Chao laughed, called someone over, handed the talisman to him, asked him to take it to the Talisman Hall for inspection, and then enthusiastically pulled Xu Fei to the table.

Xu Fei naturally understood the reason, but this was also the purpose of his coming.

So he pretended not to know and started eating and drinking with Yi Chao.

At the banquet, Yi Chao inquired about many aspects, and Xu Fei told the truth, explaining his background in detail.

However, when talking about the thunder method he practiced, he attributed it to an encounter in which he obtained a legacy left by a master.

After hearing this, Yi Chao was half-believing and half-doubting.

After three rounds of drinking, Yi Chao said, "Daoyou, I have reported your request to my master, Master Shengchen, and he wants to meet you. I wonder..."

Xu Fei was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Good, please lead the way."

Yi Chao breathed a sigh of relief. If Xu Fei wanted to leave at this moment, the Five Thunder Sect would have already set up a dragnet to catch him.

However, since he is willing to meet Jindan Zhenren, then everything can be discussed.

Soon, Xu Fei met the first Jindan Zhenren of the Five Thunder Sect.

In front of Master Shengchen, Xu Jun repeated what he had said.

Master Shengchen pondered for a moment and said, "Xu Fei, do you want to join our sect and learn the knowledge of thunder magic?"

"Yes." Xu Fei said respectfully.

"Well, considering your sincerity, I will allow it."

"Thank you, sir." Xu Fei said happily.

Sheng Chen Zhenren waved his hand and said, "However, you are not from the direct lineage of our sect. If you want to obtain the inheritance, you must trade fairly. Go to the Talisman Hall and draw talismans. As long as you earn enough points, you can go to the Sutra Pavilion to exchange for secret methods to read."

Xu Fei was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

He actually knew that even if there was a points redemption system, he probably couldn't redeem the most advanced secret techniques.

However, as long as he could stay in the Five Thunder Sect, he would have completed the first step.

Xu Fei believed that one day, all the secrets of the Five Thunder Sect would be revealed to him.

After Xu Fei left, another Redwood Golden Core entered the hall.

"Brother, I just sensed that this boy is full of joy and has no distracting thoughts. It seems that he is not a hidden man of the enemy sect."

Master Sheng Chen thought for a moment and said, "Since this boy can draw a third-level thunder spell talisman, he is most likely not a hidden player. His inheritance seems to match, but..." After a pause, he continued, "Let the General Affairs Office check the origins of what he said. If it is all true, there must be traces left."

"Okay." Hongshan Jindan nodded slightly and said, "Brother, how do you plan to deal with this boy? Do you want to treat him as a laborer like an ordinary cultivator, or do you really want to absorb him into the sect?"

Sheng Chen Zhenren pondered for a long time, smiled bitterly and said: "If everything this boy said is true, then it proves that his talent in thunder magic is extremely strong. Such talent, hey..." He waved his hand and said: "Forget it, wait for me to pass it on and see what the ancestors will decide."
