Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 496: Presbyterian Church, asking for advice is both a test and a temper, South Wall

After the figures of Wen Wen and the three young men disappeared, Luo Yan fell into deep thought.

After they completed the tasks issued by the General Affairs Hall, they were secretly cursed by the senior elder.

Moreover, after knowing all this, the elders in Tianji Palace still choose to turn a blind eye?
Let them figure it out on their own.
This was really puzzling to Luo Yan.

If within the territory of one's own sect, one will be persecuted for performing tasks, if things continue like this, who will dare to take on these tasks?
"Is there anything I don't understand about this?"

Luo Yan guessed, his tone seemed a little uncertain.

Following the instructions of the General Affairs Hall and completing the sect's mission, when he was secretly cursed by the owner of Nine Immortals Island, the sect's senior officials turned a blind eye to him?
Wouldn't it be a little too abnormal to let them handle it themselves?
After all, this mission was arranged by the sect, not Luo Yan and others who deliberately went to challenge the authority of the island owner of Nine Immortals Island!

No matter how you look at it, it seems very unreasonable.

An elder in the Void Refining Realm was attacking these juniors at the Golden Core stage, and the sect didn't even react at all?

Luo Yan's eyebrows were deeply furrowed and his fingers kept flicking. He always felt that there seemed to be a deeper reason hidden in it.

Unfortunately, there is too little information now, preventing him from making the most accurate judgment.

"Do you want to go to the General Affairs Hall to issue a consultation mission?"

Now that doubts arose in his mind, Luo Yan's first thought was naturally to solve this doubt.

Only by understanding the underlying reasons can he make the next decision.

"No, no, no, maybe there is a better way." Luo Yan raised his eyes slightly, his thoughts flying around.

His heart suddenly moved, and then his mind sank into the five-colored jade tablet again, and he told something towards a certain human-shaped shadow.

After waiting for more than two hours, the phantom finally manifested into a smart figure.

A young man with a blue aura all over his body appeared in Luo Yan's jade card space.

"I've met Senior Brother Mu!"

Looking at this handsome young man with a strong aura and eyes that seemed to reflect the whole world, Luo Yan immediately saluted.

"Junior Brother Luo, you are so polite. Why do we need such courtesy between you and me!"

The young man opposite was smiling, and the light of Tao Yun was flowing, which was very astonishing.

"I wonder why my junior brother called me here today?"

"It's not just to catch up with me and chat with me, is it?"

Although Mu Qiu's voice was calm, there was a hint of joking in her tone.

He and this junior brother have the interests of Bay Bird Island at the forefront, and the relationship between the two is naturally far beyond that of ordinary classmates.

It's just that his temperament also belongs to the cold type, and the interest in his words is not too obvious.

"Senior Brother Mu is joking. Junior brother has only joined the sect for a short time and has no acquaintances to communicate with. This time, I really want to consult senior brother about something."

Luo Yan waved his hand, dropped two futons, and then motioned for the peerless young man opposite to sit down first.

Immediately afterwards, he informed the other party of the mission before and after, as well as what had happened previously.

He wanted to hear this senior brother's opinion.

"Junior brother would like to ask Senior Brother Mu, did what the elder did really not violate the sect rules?"

"If this move is true, wouldn't the sect be harming its disciples by issuing such a mission?"

Luo Yan asked for advice sincerely and looked towards the opposite side with burning eyes.

That is the cursed power of a cultivator in the Void Refining Stage. Anyone who faces it will experience great panic and pressure.

It's so disturbing that one is afraid that one day, he will be cursed to death by this weird secret method!

If he doesn't figure this out, Luo Yan may not accept any of the tasks issued by the General Affairs Hall in the future if they have anything to do with the island owners or senior elders.

Take this time’s mission to Nine Immortals Island as an example. Isn’t this a complete deception?
"So that's the problem."

Mu Qiu smacked her mouth lightly, and then looked at the junior brother meaningfully.

Luo Yan looked at him like this for a long time, and he was stunned for a while, a little confused.

"The level of the mission performed by junior brother is a special level mission, right?"

Luo Yan was stunned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded slowly.

"Junior brother, do you know the difference between special-level tasks and regular-level tasks?" Mu Qiu asked.

His impression of this junior brother is quite good.

Therefore, I am willing to spend a certain amount of time to explain it to this junior brother.

Luo Yan shook his head. He only knew that after completing special-level tasks, he would get more rewards.

That's it.

Could it be that there is some kind of difference between these two tasks?

"The tasks in the General Affairs Hall are not randomly ordered."

"This actually involves a secret."

"Junior brother should have heard of Tianji Palace, right?"

Luo Yan nodded again. He heard that the tasks in the General Affairs Hall were selected by people from the Tianji Hall and then promulgated.

Although he didn't know much about it, he had heard the name of this department. It was very mysterious and the number of people was unknown.

But within the Five Elements Sect, it plays a decisive role.

"Above the Tianji Palace, there is another group of real people in power called the Presbyterian Council!"

Mu Qiu's long hair was spread loosely, like a divine king coming into the world. Even though it was just an illusory body, it still had a sense of Taoism.

"Unlike other sects, the disciples of my Five Elements Sect, before the Nascent Soul stage, generally focus on their own cultivation as their main purpose, and the sect will not interfere too much."

"Because the realm before the Nascent Soul stage, given our talents, can be easily reached in just a hundred years."

After all, the Five Elements Sect is a powerful sect of the human race, and the true spiritual world is still a middle-thousand world, with blazing spiritual energy and perfect world laws.

Therefore, the speed of practice of monks practicing in this world is naturally far beyond what can be compared with the outside world.

"Only after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it will become difficult to break through the current level of cultivation."

"At this time, as a disciple of my Xingzong, you have two choices."

"Either pass the assessment of Tianji Palace and become a member of the Elders Council, or continue to remain the same as before, that is, an ordinary disciple or elder."

"In our sect, there are only these two identities, and more than 99% of the disciples have ordinary identities."

"Once a foreign enemy invades, the latter still needs to obey the arrangements of the former!"

In the illusory space created by the identity token, Mu Qiu sat cross-legged on the ground and told Luo Yan about the status structure system of the Five Elements Sect.

An ancient sect like theirs is no better than an ordinary sect of cultivating immortals. The disciples in the sect are all geniuses among geniuses.

The nature of such people is to be unruly, lofty-minded, and do not like to be restrained too much. They are very different from those monks with mediocre qualifications.

Of course, the management style of these people cannot be compared with that of ordinary monks. Let nature take its course and be content with one's heart. On the contrary, it is the most appropriate management method.

Hence the free-range model of the Five Elements Sect, where cultivation depends entirely on oneself.

Although the sect's management system is relaxed, it does not mean that the Five Elements Sect will completely leave its disciples alone.

It's just that the disciples in the lower three realms are not yet qualified to be restrained.

Because whether it is within the human race or in the Endless Sea, the Five Elements Sect has a bunch of competitors who are always watching.

How to mobilize the disciples in the sect to respond has become a top priority!
At this time, the importance of the Presbyterian Church became apparent.

"The Presbyterian Church is composed of a group of fellow monks who are talented, shrewd and powerful in cultivation."

"They have great power. They can even issue mandatory tasks to ordinary disciples like us through identity tokens." "It's like: when our cultivation reaches the stage of becoming a god, we will be deprived of it within a period of time. Transfer to the edge of the Endless Sea, go to the place bordering the alien races, and guard those alien races."

"How to guard, how to guard, where to be responsible, etc., are all matters that need to be discussed."

In the true spirit world, wars between races break out at any time.

Both sides will arrange a large number of high-level creatures to station at the borders of their respective territories.

Then they compete with each other, fight with each other, and look at each other.

This is something that no race can escape.

If you take a step back, others will take a step forward and occupy an extra inch of territory.

If things go on like this, it will become a situation where you are weak and I am strong.

In such a place where high-level creatures gather together, personal power is important, but facing such a huge alien race, it is difficult to play a decisive role.

Therefore, when facing those foreign races, strategy has become a very important part.

These arrangements related to strategic direction will be made by the members of the Presbyterian Church.

"Do you know how to join the Presbyterian Church?" Mu Qiu said calmly.

"Performing those special tasks?" Luo Yan's heart moved secretly, and then he asked a little uncertainly.

Now that we have talked about this, why can't he understand the words hidden in it?

Mu Qiu nodded, and then added an explanation: "To be precise, if you want to increase the level of your token, the tasks you perform must be special tasks!"

"From Five Color Black Jade to Seven Color Purple Jade, you only need to accumulate the number of regular level tasks to upgrade."

"But from colorful purple jade to gilded fairy jade, as well as passing the test and becoming a member of the Presbyterian Church, you need to perform special first-level tasks before you can be promoted."

"There is one difference between special-level tasks and regular-level tasks, and that is that all consequences will be borne solely by the person performing the task."

"So special-level tasks are often uncontrollable and contain great risks."

"Generally speaking, golden elixir-level disciples without any identity background rarely accept tasks of the special level."

"Because this will bring them trouble that they can't avoid!"

The difficulty of these two tasks is very different. The Five Elements Sect disciples who perform these two tasks will also be affected by the results of the tasks and slowly grow up.

For example, when a monk who has been hunting the Sea Tribe in the outer seas sees his fellow disciples killing innocent people indiscriminately, the first thought in his mind is to use force to suppress them.

Just knock the opponent down.

Disciples who are trained through special tasks will subconsciously consider some things, such as the identity and background of their fellow disciples, the reasons for indiscriminate killing, etc.

After sorting out all the logical relationships, they will make a decision whether to get involved or not.
This is the difference between two ways of thinking.

Disciples of the Five Elements Sect need to continuously perform tasks so that they can establish a complete and exclusive worldview for themselves.

Only by understanding the nature of this world can we get along with it better.

After all, the disciples who can join the Five Elements Sect are all extremely talented in talent and strength. Often, many disciples can break through to the Golden Core stage before they are thirty years old!

Such disciples have extraordinary talents, but their minds are pure!

Even to the extreme.

Hardly able to understand what is being said, and unable to recognize the dangers hidden beneath the surface.

If such a disciple is not tempered, he will have a great chance of perish after going to the outside world!
After all, they are not old, so they naturally have no scruples when doing things.

Once you leave the sect, you will be easily targeted by outsiders.

The Five Elements Sect does not want the disciples it has worked so hard to cultivate to die out of thin air.

Therefore, it is necessary to hone the character of the disciples.

A person's shrewdness depends on how many things he has experienced, and what solutions he comes up with after encountering things.

Only in this way can one's mind be thoroughly trained.

The special tasks in the General Affairs Hall play such a tempering role.

"Basically, there won't be any major changes in conventional level one tasks. Often you only need to solve a single problem to complete the task."

"As for special-level tasks, you will be examined from all aspects to see if you are suitable to become one of the leaders of the Five Elements Sect!"

"Tell me, a disciple who can stand out in such numerous tests, how will he behave when faced with the strife of alien races or internal forces of the human race?"

Mu Qiu patiently explained and gave examples to illustrate the differences between the two tasks and the essence behind them.

After Luo Yan listened for a while, he somewhat understood the sophisticated meaning of it.

The secret method, the essence of the five elements, the difference between the two tasks, the tempering of the mind
The combination of the above can train the disciples of the Five Elements Sect.

Another point is that if they do not have a strong identity background to support them, they should not accept tasks of this level during the Golden Core stage.

Because of the pressure from the senior elders, they can easily be crushed to death!

"Junior brother, there are actually many ways to solve your mission this time."

"If you find an elder who is also in the Void Refining Stage to come forward, or you can be careful about your whereabouts so as not to be found by that elder, or even directly switch to another Elder who is in the Void Refining Stage."

"If you start from these aspects, you can basically solve your current dilemma."

"It's just that you have to be fast, if you haven't made a final decision before the elder comes back."

"At that time, it is not impossible to die directly from being cursed."

After hearing this explanation, Luo Yan fell into a long silence.

Senior Brother Mu elaborated on this issue from another angle and explained every link in it very clearly.

Finally, solutions are also given.

From a positive perspective, this is a test of life and death. If you can survive it safely, you will be mentally prepared to deal with similar things in the future, or even deal with the pursuit of high-level creatures from the outside world.

This laid the groundwork for future fights against foreign races.

From the side, how can a disciple who has no scheming, no brains, no identity background, and acts recklessly reach the end of his practice?
After all, cultivation is not just about immersing yourself in hard work to become an immortal or an ancestor.

There are many monks in the sect, so they need to fight for practice resources; foreign spiritual objects are suitable for practicing the divine treasure method, so they need to fight for them.
As long as you are a monk, you cannot avoid dealing with people and foreign races!
This is why, after a practitioner reaches the stage of spiritual transformation, there will be a process of refining the mind.

This is also the reason why the tasks in the General Affairs Hall are divided into different levels!
Because any living being will have many complicated thoughts during its long life.

When these distracting thoughts are magnified, they become inner demons in Dao Zangfa!
"How's it going? Do you understand now?" Mu Qiu said, looking meaningfully at the young man in green in front of him.

After all, it was pressure from an elder in the Void Refining Stage. He wanted to know what this junior brother's final choice would be.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Mu, for your advice!"

Luo Yan saluted respectfully and his attitude was very sincere.

Answering questions and clearing up doubts this time can be regarded as laying a more solid foundation for him to understand the sect.

It turns out that the senior leaders of the Five Elements Sect are not just letting their disciples do nothing, but are using this subtle method to teach their disciples.

After all, one thing is an eternal truth, that is, only by hitting the south wall can you understand the indestructibility of the south wall!

"Okay, it seems that you have a clear answer in your heart, so it's time for me to leave."

As he spoke, Mu Qiu's figure made a 'pop' sound, like water bubbles exploding, and then gradually disappeared from sight.

Although he was curious about how Junior Brother Luo dealt with it, given how cautious this Junior Brother was, he relied on his spirit puppet body to travel without any leakage of Qi.

Even if the elder in the Void Refining Stage wants to curse Junior Brother Luo, it is not something he can do in a short while.

Then it would be useless for him to stay any longer.
