Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

After introducing the responsibilities of each department, the senior in yellow robes looked at Shen Hua with a smile on the spirit boat:

"Young friend Xia Ye, you're planning to join the [Heavenly Forging Bureau], right?"

"That's right," Shen Hua replied, bowing slightly.

"Is there any lineage or lineage passed down through a master?"

"I have no teacher and am self-taught."

"That would be even better." Uncle Lu nodded slightly.

Shen Hua then asked, "May I ask your esteemed name, Master?"

"No need for formalities, Lu."

"So it's Senior Uncle Lu."

Shen Hua said sincerely, "Thank you very much for your guidance and support today, Senior Uncle. In the future, if you, Senior Uncle, or any of your relatives, friends, or disciples need any assistance with weapon crafting, please feel free to contact me, and I will do my best to help."

The Master Lu in front of him didn't look very old, only about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, but Shen Hua called him "Master Lu" affectionately, after all, not everyone is as easygoing as Xu Lan.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Lu's smile widened even more; these were exactly the words he had been waiting for.

He said in a warm tone, "Joining the [Heavenly Forging Division] is also good. New disciples, regardless of which division they belong to, will receive a basic monthly allowance of thirty contribution points."

"Three... thirty?" Shen Hua was secretly startled.

Taipingmen is indeed wealthy and powerful, with an astonishingly generous approach.

Back when he was the second elder of Green Bamboo Mountain, the monthly allowance he gave to the new disciples was only three low-grade spirit stones.

Seeing his expression, Uncle Lu mistakenly thought he felt it was too little and quickly explained, "Don't think it's too little, this is just the most basic monthly allowance."

"With your talent, once you enter the Heavenly Forging Division, the sect will definitely allocate resources to you, so you won't have to worry about cultivation resources at all."

……

A few minutes later, the spirit boat passed through the territory of the Sixteen Divisions and arrived at the northern part of the sect.

Shen Hua looked up and saw a series of quiet courtyards scattered around, surrounded by artificial hills and streams, with pavilions and towers dotting the landscape. The ground was covered with lush vegetation and fragrant grass.

Low-grade spiritual herbs that have been growing for decades or even hundreds of years can be seen everywhere by the roadside, growing casually by the roadside, untouched by anyone.

The spiritual energy here is so dense it's almost misty, wisps of it lingering around the courtyard.

Upon arriving at this point, Senior Uncle Lu stopped the flying boat and solemnly instructed, "Young friend Xia Ye, the residences of Golden Core Stewards and Nascent Soul Elders are just ahead. This is a forbidden area of ​​the sect. No one may enter without special permission. Remember this."

"I understand," Shen Hua replied immediately.

Then, Master Lu turned the flying boat around and returned along the same route.

As he walked, he instructed, "The Three Halls and Sixteen Departments are the core territory of the sect. Except for the Yellow Heaven Hall, which you should avoid if you don't have to go there, you can freely enter and exit other places."

"The elders and deacons reside on the north side of the Three Halls and Sixteen Departments, while Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining disciples live on the east and west sides."

"We'll first go to the [Hall of Affairs] to claim the new recruit supplies, and then we'll arrange a cave dwelling for you on the west side."

"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Lu."

……

Half an hour later, the spirit boat came to a steady stop in front of a cave on the west side.

The two had just visited the Hall of Affairs, and the small wooden building in front of them was the residence assigned to Shen Hua.

The cave dwelling is built over a large lake. It is a three-story wooden building with a simple and clean exterior, surrounded by a faint spiritual aura.

The small courtyard in front of the building is overgrown with flowers and plants, and a gentle breeze carries their subtle fragrance.

"Young friend Xia Ye, are you satisfied with this cave dwelling?" Master Lu said with a smile. "If you want to join the [Heavenly Forging Bureau], this is the closest cave dwelling to the [Heavenly Forging Bureau], and the environment is quite nice."

"I am very satisfied. Thank you for your kindness, Senior Uncle." Shen Hua thanked him again.

"No need to be polite. Take out your identity jade token and press it against the access control on this building to activate your access privileges."

"Understood." Shen Hua flipped his hand, and a warm, jade-like identity token appeared in his hand.

He had just received a complete set of newbie supplies in the [Hall of Duties]:

An intermediate-level storage bag has more than ten times the internal space of a lower-level storage bag;

Then came two yellow robes, a magic sword, the sect's introductory cultivation technique "Huang Tian Jue," and the identity jade token in my hand.

There's not much to say about the magic sword; it's a low-grade magic weapon, far inferior in quality to Shen Hua's [Fire Spear] and [Mysterious Gold Needle].

There are two robes, one of which has the [Yellow Heaven Technique] attached to it.

The Yellow Heaven Technique is a magic spell that assists in cultivation.

Using the [Yellow Heaven Technique] within the sect allows one's own spiritual power to merge with the sect's overall spiritual power, and even resonate with it, slightly increasing cultivation speed.

The other robe is equipped with a [Yellow Armor Technique], which, when activated, creates an earth-colored protective barrier around the wearer.

The Yellow Armor Technique is an improved version of the Earth Armor Technique, enhanced by a small amount of Yellow Heaven Power, increasing its defensive capabilities by approximately 30%.

But this is a low-level spell after all, and it's not very reliable when it comes to saving your life. It's not as useful as a defensive magic item.

The two robes were perfectly divided: one was kept for cultivation within the sect, and the other was worn on missions.

Besides that, there was a jade pendant for identification.

Whether entering or leaving the sect, accepting missions or exchanging items at the Hall of Affairs, or going out to prove one's identity, this jade token is required.

It has a kind of ID card feel to it, like something out of a cultivation world.

Shen Hua raised his hand and gently pressed the identity jade token onto the restriction on the small building.

There was originally a hidden light barrier in front of the building, but as soon as the jade tablet was placed on it, the light barrier immediately rippled.

A few breaths later, an invisible passage opened before him, leading directly to the wooden house.

"Uncle-Master Lu, would you like to come in and have a seat?" Shen Hua invited.

"No need," the cultivator surnamed Lu said with a smile, waving his hand. "I still have worldly affairs to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer."

He added, "Young friend Xia Ye, if you lack anything for your daily life, you can apply for it for free from the General Affairs Department. You don't need to spend your own spirit stones."

"Also, remember to gather at [Huangtian Square] at 9:00 AM the day after tomorrow. The sect leader will personally give a speech and formally select your department. Be sure to be on time; being late will result in a deduction of contribution points."

"I've got it." Shen Hua clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Just as Master Lu was about to leave, Shen Hua suddenly spoke up: "Master Lu, I have another question to ask."

"you say."

"Has something happened in the sect recently?" Shen Hua asked doubtfully. "The sect has been unusually deserted on our journey by boat, and I've hardly seen any fellow disciples."

The current Taipingmen is not even as popular as Qingzhushan was back then.

Master Lu pondered for a moment: "It's alright to tell you this in advance, the sect leader will mention it in public the day after tomorrow."

His expression turned serious: "The Great Teacher raised an army in Julu. We, the Taiping Sect, are of the same blood and spirit, so naturally we must raise our flags in response."

"Since we have decided to raise an army, we have completely placed ourselves on the opposite side of the Huang Lao Dao and the Fang Xian Dao, like fire and water."

"Now is the time when we need manpower, so how can the disciples in our sect be idle?"

"Most of the disciples have already been dispatched to various places to carry out missions, so the heart of the sect naturally appears deserted."

"Otherwise, this recruitment and welcoming ceremony wouldn't have been led and presided over by a Foundation Establishment cultivator like myself."

"Alright, that's all I wanted to say. I'll take my leave now."
