Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 255: Treatment of Nominal Disciples, Admit Mistakes

In the Jade Palace,

Four dignified Jindan monks sat high on the cloud cattail.
"This is my Uncle Rong, the Elder in Charge of Laws of Wuwei Hall, and this is my Uncle Jin, the Elder in Charge of Heavenly Works of Wuwei Hall.

This is my Uncle Su, the head of the Battle Hall of Wuwei Hall, and finally this is my Uncle Wei, the chief master of the Back Hall of Wuwei Hall."

Xiao Yichen brought the five people with the best overall assessment scores to meet the four Jindan elders who actually held the most power in Wuwei Palace.

Most of the Yuanying cultivators in the Yuanying forces practice in seclusion, and the daily operation of the force is generally maintained by the Jindan cultivators.

Above Yunpu, the four people were all in the late Jindan stage. As for their specific cultivation levels, the foundation-building cultivators could not tell, but based on the order in which Xiao Yichen introduced them, they could roughly guess their levels.

After all, positions in the world of immortal cultivation are not only linked to personal contributions and abilities, but are also deeply tied to the level of cultivation. As the first Nascent Soul Seed of Wuwei Palace, Mr. Da should be at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

"Junior Shu Baidao and Shu Yuheng greet all the seniors!..."

"Junior Lin Qianfan from the Yulong Islands greets all the seniors!..."

"younger generation…"

"..."

The five people all followed the normal etiquette of the younger generation. After a simple greeting, they also made a brief self-introduction. It was very brief. After all, Wuwei Palace would definitely conduct a detailed verification before accepting disciples.

"Keep your head up!"

Generally speaking, if there is a big gap in rank, you cannot look directly into the face of your seniors. This is a great disrespect. Even when he was introducing me just now, I only looked up briefly and didn't dare to look closely.

Now that they had received their consent, the five of them looked up and stared directly at the Golden Core. Although the four of them were of different ages, each of them had a much more powerful aura than the Golden Core cultivators from the Western Regions that Lin Qianfan had seen before.

"Indeed, you all have the appearance of dragons and phoenixes. Are you willing to become registered disciples of my Wuwei Palace?"

The eldest gentleman, who looked the youngest and the kindest among the four, spoke with a smile, and his language was friendly and not oppressive.

"Disciple is willing!"

Although the five people were prepared, they were all delighted when they heard this. If they could become registered disciples of Wuwei Hall in advance during the Foundation Establishment Period, their future cultivation path would definitely be smoother.

"Then what is your purpose here? Tell the truth!"

Just as the five people's minds were changing, an invisible and powerful field suddenly enveloped them. An overwhelming spiritual force suddenly invaded, questioning the five people's true intentions and asking them to express their purest thoughts. It was very powerful.

"I want to become a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

"Nascent Soul! Nascent Soul! Nascent Soul!"

"I want to condense my Nascent Soul! I want to control my destiny!"

"Only the Nascent Soul can be called the Great Dao! My heart longs for it!"

"Only by reaching the Nascent Soul stage can I change my destiny!"

The five people almost instinctively roared out their desires at the same time, without any distractions, just the purest greed for power and realm.

"Yes, follow me to the ancestral hall..."

The Thousand Star City is too big, and the demon cultivators from the Demon Horn Domain will also be active in the Thousand Star City. There have been cases in the past where demon cultivators have infiltrated the Nascent Soul forces and even received intensive training, leading to tragedies.

Therefore, Wuwei Palace is very cautious even when accepting registered disciples, and there are many tests.

Although registered disciples are considered marginal in the inheritance system of Wuwei Palace, once this relationship is established, it will be a connection that lasts for hundreds of years. Naturally, it needs to be handled with extreme caution and not be taken lightly.

Regardless of whether they are direct disciples or registered disciples, they all obey the Taoist lineage of Wuwei Palace, rather than the direct descendants of Yuanying Zhenjun.

At most, only those who perform well may be summoned by the Yuanying Zhenjun for simple guidance when he is free. It is rare for a Yuanying Zhenjun to openly accept disciples like Ling Chunzi. This shows that the heavenly spiritual roots are still valuable and rare enough.

Under the guidance of the great master, Lin Qianfan and the other four successfully received their ordination and officially became registered disciples of the Wuwei Hall.

However, this matter will not be made public for the time being. It will only be officially announced to the public after we go to the birthplaces of the five people to investigate their past growth trajectories and verify their exact identities.

That would be a very formal external recognition!

There are not many main lineage cultivators in Wuwei Palace. There are only about twenty Jindan cultivators whose Taoism has not been cut off, more than one hundred foundation-building disciples with good Taoism foundation, and hundreds of Qi-refining seedlings with good spiritual roots.

Qi-refining seedlings whose amount of condensed liquid is less than 32 drops when they are building their foundation will be kicked out of the main meridian directly. Although they still have the possibility of forming a pill, they are still considered to have unqualified foundations in the Nascent Soul forces and will be assigned to branch meridians to continue practicing while working.

Similarly, if the foundation-building disciples cannot form a fourth-level golden elixir or above when forming the elixir, they will be kicked out of the main meridian directly. Although their cultivation will continue to grow, and their combat effectiveness may not necessarily be weaker than that of the same level, they still need to go out to work.

Staying in the main line means pure full-time practice, not being involved in the mundane world and not getting involved in the mundane world. This can maintain a pure heart to a certain extent, without being disturbed by the world, which will be beneficial for overcoming the inner demons in the future.

The inner demon tribulation doesn't care whether you have the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, flawless Taoist foundation, natural spiritual roots, or a special spiritual body. If you fail to meet the requirements, you will be eliminated directly!

Based on the above, although Lin Qianfan and the other four are only nominal disciples and are not considered orthodox disciples of Wuwei Palace, because their paths are bright, their status is actually not low, only lower than the foundation-building disciples of the main lineage, so the identity of this nominal disciple is still very valuable.

After the Wuwei Palace is made public, you will be considered a person with status and background in the Thousand Star City. You can use this most prestigious title whenever you go out, and you will have a natural advantage when negotiating with other forces.

If the five of them can successfully condense a top-grade golden elixir in the future and prove that they really have some possibility of forming a fetus, their status will continue to soar and they will become the top figures in Wuwei Palace.

"My fellow disciples, you will practice with me from now on. If you don't understand something, you can ask me directly. This is your..." After receiving the ordination, the four Jindan elders left, leaving only Xiao Yichen with the five people to familiarize themselves with the rules that they should abide by as registered disciples. He also distributed Taoist robes and identity jade pendants prepared for the five people.

Wuwei Hall currently does not have any other registered disciples for the foundation-building stage, so the five of them will directly follow the direct disciples to practice, but their practice will only last for the last half month, and they will have to go home after half a month.

Because Wuwei Palace only values their future and only makes appropriate auxiliary investments. In the years to come, it is the Jindan forces behind them that will truly cultivate them.

What's more important is that worldly practice and otherworldly practice are different. A little overlap is enough, but mixing them together for a long time is not a good thing. Obviously, the experiences of Lin Qianfan and the other four are all classified as worldly practice.

As for the benefits that Wuwei Palace provided them, there were also many.

Wuwei Hall further opened up their inherited collections to registered disciples. The records were vast and could be borrowed at will.

Among them are the detailed experiences of successive disciples of Wuwei Palace in forming the elixir and even the infant form, including both successful and failed cases. Since the data sample is large enough and involves enough special cases, it is very useful for reference and you can always find what you want.

Especially the experience of forming a baby, which is a profound foundation that most Jindan forces do not have. It is also one of the things that everyone is vying for to become a registered disciple of Wuwei Palace.

Otherwise, the word "forming a baby" is too vague. How to form a baby?
As a disciple of Wuwei Temple, you can of course borrow the sect's spiritual veins for free to break through to a higher realm. In the future, whether you want to break through to the Golden Core or the Nascent Soul, you can come directly to Wuwei Temple. They will provide the best spiritual vein conditions.

The spiritual energy concentration of the fourth-level spiritual vein is definitely far greater than that of the third-level spiritual vein. This will definitely be of some positive help in breaking through the golden elixir, and it can even leverage the luck of the Wuwei Palace to help.

However, Lin Qianfan still needs to think carefully about this matter. In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Qianfan's goal is the top-grade golden elixir, and the top-grade golden elixir often refers to the seven-turn golden elixir.

But Lin Qianfan's real goal is the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, and he has been working hard for it, constantly collecting all the secret methods and superior spiritual objects that can improve the quality of the pill.

Although this study trip to Wuwei Palace made Lin Qianfan realize that the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is no child's play and its difficulty is extremely great, far exceeding the Eight-Turn, but Lin Qianfan is still determined and unwavering in his goal!

But the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is too ostentatious. The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill can awaken minor magical powers in advance, and condensing the domain is definitely not a problem. It can directly walk ahead of others and will inevitably attract the attention of the entire Thousand Star City. The Lin family is too small, and it may be a disaster rather than a blessing at that time.

"Let's take it one step at a time and see what the situation is like. If all else fails, we can go find an ownerless spirit vein in the Whirlpool Sea."

Lin Qianfan had never mentioned that his goal was the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. It would be too arrogant to say it out loud, and the matter involved too many things. Even if he succeeded in condensing it, it had to be kept strictly confidential and could only be revealed to a very small number of people in exchange for investment.

"Last time, Xuanwu Zhenjun said that if I could form the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill, I could go to him to consult my conscience and receive his personal teachings. Did he mean to accept me as his last disciple? ...Alas~ I don't want to think about this for now!"

In addition to the above two points, there are many other privileges.
For example, every time the Shuofeng Stage is opened, the registered disciples will be notified, and as long as they can arrive in time, they can borrow it for free.

For example, even if you do not stay in Wuwei Hall for long-term practice in the future, you can still come here frequently to ask for advice from the Jindan elders. There is no charge for normal consultation, as this is the duty of a teacher.

For example, Nascent Soul lectures, other trials in Wuwei Palace, internal top inheritance exchanges, etc. will be open to registered disciples, but some things are not free and require a certain price.

Generally speaking, there are many benefits to becoming a registered disciple of Wuwei Palace, but they do not actually invest many resources in registered disciples. Instead, it is more like establishing a good relationship first and waiting for it to bear fruit, so that these people will not flow back into the market and be picked up by other major forces.

"It's probably because I'm only in the Foundation Establishment stage now. There are still too many uncertainties. It should be better after I reach the Core Formation stage."

Lin Qianfan is very satisfied with the current situation. He has a plan for his own path, and this identity is very useful and can help him avoid a lot of trouble.

For example, you will definitely never encounter something like being blackmailed by Chu Junhao for Xuanqiong Yulu again. After you have an identity, all the people you meet are good people.

"I have achieved my expectations ahead of time, but I don't know if Lao Zu and Qian Xue are doing well."

Putting on the exclusive robes for registered disciples and wearing the exclusive jade pendant to prove their identity, their temperament from the inside out makes them look refreshed.

This set of robes is 90% similar to the robes of direct disciples, with only a few differences, but the energy they represent is the same. In comparison, the five people are only ranked slightly behind, but their actual potential is greater and they are more valuable than most direct disciples.

"Congratulations, congratulations, fellow Taoist, for getting what you wished for!"

As soon as the five of them came out, many of the scholars waiting outside came up to compliment them and offer their congratulations.

That’s right, it’s not a greeting but a flattering congratulation!
At this point, everyone has been divided into clear levels. Some people have a clear goal of pursuing high-grade golden elixir, some people still have a chance and are still catching up, but some people still have difficulty in forming an elixir.

Although the five people have different personalities, none of them are arrogant. Instead, they respond to others' congratulations politely. Status is just status. They are all foundation-building cultivators and there is no need to pretend to be masters.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you're amazing! I thought you were just talking, but I didn't expect you to actually do it in just a few days."

Fellow Daoist Jian was not at all restrained. He even touched Lin Qianfan's robe, his face full of envy, without any concealment.

After all, the two families have a good relationship. Even if Lin Qianfan becomes a registered disciple of Wuwei Palace, it is impossible for him to deny his half-friendship.

Chu Junhao, who was behind the crowd, lowered his clenched fists, adjusted his stiff expression, and walked to the front of the crowd with heavy steps.

"Brother Lin, my recklessness the other day was all my fault. I was confused and lost my mind in greed. I hope you will forgive me! I also hope you will not bear a grudge!"

Chu Junhao clasped his hands together, bowed stiffly, and spoke in a somewhat stiff manner. It was obvious that he had never apologized before, and even felt humiliated. However, he still chose to come out and apologize reluctantly, hoping to resolve the grudge.

"Hey! Brother Chu, please stand up quickly. You're being polite. You and I don't have any conflicting core interests, so we shouldn't be in opposition. Besides, you haven't caused me any harm, so where does the hatred come from?

I scolded you a few times before, please don't take it to heart!"

Lin Qianfan readily followed suit and bowed in front of everyone, without any hatred as he had at Shuofengjie. It was as if the conflicts that had occurred before had never happened, and he was very kind.

"That's good, that's good, let's have a drink and chat some other day!"

"You won't come home until you're drunk!"
