I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 929 Longhua Mansion

Frankly speaking, the initiation ceremony of Luo Zhen Xian Men was a bit too simple. One could only worship the portraits of the ancestors in the presence of a group of elders and be considered as initiator.

They are called successive generations, but in fact they are just the reincarnations of Patriarch Luo Zhen. Patriarch Luo Zhen made a great wish in the past to open up a smooth road for the independent practitioners in the world. Therefore, he reincarnated and practiced many times, and opened up several true teachings. Even many elders in the Luo Zhen Sect now are disciples accepted by Patriarch Luo Zhen in the past. Patriarch Luo Zhen has returned in this life and still regards himself as a disciple.

After the ceremony, the elders gave some words of exhortation, and the initiation ceremony was officially over.

Another child came forward to lead the way for the group, either by spiritual bird or by flying boat. After walking for who knows how long, a continuous black shadow suddenly appeared in front of them. Li Ming had excellent eyesight and could see clearly that it was a city. There were continuous houses and pavilions that were looming, just like a state city on earth. Above it was a suspended island with flowing springs and waterfalls, and below it were all kinds of human life and the myriad phenomena of the mortal world.

The boy leading Li Ming said, "Brother, this is Luo Zhen Immortal City. There are tens of millions of people in the city. They are the relatives of Luo Zhen disciples with less talent, as well as strong men and maids who have not found their masters. In addition, there are many deacons in the city to handle mundane affairs. It can be regarded as a major place in Luo Zhen Sect."

As he spoke, the boy flew down in the flying boat and landed in front of a tall and imposing building.

The boy explained, "Brother, you have just entered the sect. According to the sect's rules, you can go to Longhua Mansion to receive your monthly stipend and a cave for shelter. From now on, you will receive your monthly stipend here. You will just need to ask someone to bring you your disciple badge. This is your first time, so I'll need to keep some records."

On the way here, the boy had already explained to Li Ming that in order to make these new disciples familiar with Luo Zhen as quickly as possible, each disciple was assigned such a boy, who was equivalent to a temporary butler. Once they were familiar with all the affairs, they could decide whether to send these boys back to their original places or keep them.

The Longhua Mansion's compound covers a vast area, with high Weique platforms on both sides and ten-zhang-wide white jade steps that are naturally extremely grand. Spiritual plants are carefully planted on both sides, forming a lush green shade.

A plaque with three characters "Longhua Mansion" hangs horizontally at the front of the main hall. The characters are flying and lively. Just one glance at it makes you feel like you want to fly.

Li Ming and the boy entered the main hall together and explained their purpose. Not long after, a gaunt middle-aged Taoist priest came out.

He glanced up and down, and seemed to recognize the boy beside Li Ming, so he laughed and said, "Songyue, why did you send you to do this?"

Songyue was a boy in his early teens with rosy lips and white teeth. Li Ming could see clearly that he had already mastered the Ming Fa, so it was indeed a waste for him to come out and do such things.

Listening to this person's teasing, Song Yue said calmly, "They are all working for me, Luo Zhen. This Senior Brother Wuxin has passed many tests and has a bright future. It is my blessing to be able to work for you. I also ask Senior Brother Zhao to choose a good mansion for my Senior Brother Wuxin."

This Senior Brother Zhao's cultivation level is not high, only slightly stronger than Song Yue, but he is much older than Song Yue. In fact, this is normal. Longhua Mansion is responsible for handling various miscellaneous affairs of the sect. It has considerable power, but the time for cultivation is also short. The deacons here are all those who have no hope of achieving the Golden Elixir but like to wield power, and this Senior Brother Zhao is no exception.

He nodded gently and said, "A large number of mansions have been vacated. According to the sect's rules, you can choose a training mansion upon joining. In addition, you will receive ten strong men, ten maids, ten bottles of Qi-nourishing Light Spirit Pills, a jade disciple token, a set of protective robes, and a spiritual sword."

As soon as Senior Brother Zhao opened his mouth, he listed dozens of things. This overwhelming wealth was enough to make the casual cultivators from the outside world faint with envy. It was worthy of being the number one immortal sect in the East China Sea with such a profound foundation!
Afterwards, Senior Brother Zhao led Li Mingxian to take the disciple jade token and refined it on the spot. This jade token was an important magical tool for traveling within the Luo Zhenxian Sect. He then grabbed a booklet and looked through it.

He pointed at a page in the booklet, and a screen of light appeared before Li Ming. "These illuminated areas are the currently vacant mansions. You can choose any."

Li Ming looked around and saw that the light curtain showed the layout of the entire Luozhen Immortal City. Most of the place was dark, with only the edges and corners flashing with light.

Song Yue immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, please don't send our Brother Wuxin away with this kind of mansion. The closer to the center, the more abundant the spiritual energy. Although the mansion in the corner is large, it hinders cultivation. It can only be considered a small-class mansion at best. Let's change the map quickly."

Senior Brother Zhao smiled and shook his head, then looked at Li Ming.

Li Ming naturally knew what he meant, and then he took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and said.

"Junior brother has just entered the sect and has nothing with him except some one-element heavy water that he condensed when he was practicing water magic. However, my Taoism is not very advanced, and there seems to be something wrong with this heavy water. I wonder if you are willing to take a look at it for me."

Senior Brother Zhao chuckled, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "That's right. If the One Yuan Heavy Water ritual isn't practiced correctly, it's very likely to go awry later. You've found the right person. Let me examine it for you and let you know when I have any information!"

At the same time, he flipped through the booklet in his hand, and the light screen in front of the few people changed slightly, and the place where the light was on also became different.

"Look at my memory. Last month, several inner disciples changed their caves, and these caves became vacant. It's my fault, Junior Brother Wuxin, you can choose one of your own."

Songyue looked at the new map, then pulled Li Ming's sleeve and said.

"Brother Wuxin, within our Luo Zhen Sect, we divide the places where people practice into two categories: blessed caves and paradises, and cultivation mansions. The blessed caves are outside the Immortal City, occupying spiritual veins, and are classified into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound Heaven, and Yellow. They are basically reserved by the elders and true disciples. The cultivation mansions are within the Immortal City, and are classified into four grades: A, B, C, and D. They are the residences of the outer and inner disciples in the city. There is a spiritual spring in the center of the Immortal City, so there are only nine Grade A mansions, thirty-six Grade B mansions, one hundred and eight Grade C mansions, and three hundred and sixty-five Grade D mansions on the periphery. Just now, Senior Brother Zhao showed us Grade D, and now we show us Grade C. Take a look, Senior Brother..."

Obviously, if Li Ming didn't know the rules just now, he could only choose a D-grade mansion, which was the worst among the D-grade ones. But since he had good sense, he could also get a C-grade one. But if he wanted to go higher, the weight of this "gift" would not be enough.

"Snapped!"

Li Ming smiled slightly, took out a jade token from his arms, and said softly.

"I'm new to Luo Zhen, and I'm really poor. This is the only decent magical tool I can think of. I wonder if Senior Brother could take a look at it for me?"
