The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

In a blink of an eye, five days passed.

This time, the selection of disciples in Wangxian City was also over. The four major sects took their favorite disciples and left towards the sect.

The casual cultivators who were selected by the four major sects all looked happy, but those who were not selected could only watch these people leave with envy.

When he came out of the tent, Matthew finally saw the Qingyun Zhou mentioned by Zhu Que.

To say it was a boat would be an understatement.

This boat is more than twenty feet long and four to five feet wide. The whole body exudes a gleaming green light, which is very magical. There are three floors of attics inside.

The selected casual cultivators all live on the first floor, the disciples of Qingyu Valley live on the second floor, and the third floor is occupied by people with advanced cultivation levels such as Zhu Que.

Although Matthew's status is somewhat special, he is still placed on the first floor.

Zhu Que told Matthew that they were still a long way from Qingyu Valley, and would have to fly for at least a month or two, allowing Matthew to practice on the flying boat with peace of mind during this time.

Naturally, Matthew would not have any objections to this and could stay in the room to practice without any worries.

Unconsciously, the flying boat flew for nearly a month.

At first, Matthew felt it was a bit novel, and would often leave the room to look at the scenery outside. However, as time went by, he found it boring, so he stayed in the room to practice.

During this period, Zhu Que did not come to see Matthew.

But Li Mu came here twice, and his purpose was very simple. He wanted to exchange the things he had with Matthew for Zhu Que's alchemy experience.

No one in their right mind would randomly exchange things given by their master.

Matthew would naturally not do such a thing, even if he refused Li Mu's request.

After that, Li Mu never disturbed his practice again.

On this day, Matthew, who was meditating, suddenly felt Feizhou pause. Confused, he left the room and came to the deck.

When he arrived, many people had already arrived on the deck before him.

"We have arrived in front of the mountain protection formation in Qingyu Valley. Everyone, please come out." An old and kind voice sounded in everyone's ears.

Zhu Que has already told Matthew that the old man leading the team this time is named Yun Fuzi. He is already in the late stage of pill formation and is only one step away from Dzogchen. He is indeed very high in Qingyu Valley and must not be offended.

As soon as Yun Fuzi finished speaking, everyone in the room came to the deck, and Yun Fuzi himself appeared on the bow of the ship at some unknown time.

"Greetings to Master Yun!" After everyone came out, they all bowed to Yun Fuzi.

"Everyone, get up. After entering this formation, you will be the people of Qingyu Valley. There is an ugly saying in front of you. What I hate most in this life is people who betray the sect. If anyone among you does something detrimental to the sect, Things, don't blame me for not thinking about our friendship!" At the end of Yun Fuzi's words, there was a murderous intention in his voice, which made everyone who heard these words couldn't help but shudder, and looked at Yun Fuzi. There was a hint of fear in everything.

"As expected of a late-stage pill-forming monk, just one look almost made me kneel down." After being glanced at by Yun Fuzi, Matthew's heart was beating fast and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

After Yun Fuzi finished speaking, he took off the orange token hanging from his waist and threw it forward.

The token flew dozens of feet and was blocked by something invisible. Immediately, a circle of ripples appeared.

Immediately, the token disappeared in a flash.

In an instant, a huge dark hole appeared.

Under the control of Yun Fuzi, the giant boat sailed into the black hole.

As soon as he entered the black hole, Matthew immediately noticed countless spiritual consciousness sweeping over his body, as if his secrets were about to be seen through.

However, in just a dozen breaths, the giant boat passed through the black hole, and the spiritual consciousness attached to the body disappeared.

What was displayed in front of everyone was a scene that was like a dream.

There are auspicious clouds floating in the sky, and there are groups of flying cranes on the horizon. Peaks stand towering below, and some adjacent peaks are connected by cableways. At a rough count, there were hundreds of peaks visible. As for the specific number, no one explained, and Matthew and his party had no way of knowing.

Occasionally, you can see a few people stepping on magic weapons and flying in the air. When these people saw the flying boat, they all stopped and saluted from a distance.

"Master Nephew Zhu, you can go back with your apprentice and Dantong first, and I will take the others to report to the headmaster." Yun Fuzi looked at Zhu Que kindly and said.

"Dantong?" Matthew was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing these two words.

He didn't know when Zhu Que accepted another Dantong.

But when he saw Li Mu walking out of the crowd and standing behind Zhu Que, his eyes showed surprise again.

"When did this guy become Mr. Zhu's Dantong..." Matthew muttered in his heart and walked towards Zhu Que.

"Thank you, Uncle Yun."

Zhu Que bowed and saluted, said thank you, then took Matthew and Li Mu, released a small boat and flew away.

"I will take you to get the entry items first, and then to my residence." Zhu Que said softly while standing on the boat.

In this regard, Matthew and the two of them had no objections.

"This boy gave me some items that I couldn't refuse, so I made an exception and accepted him as Dantong." Seeing that Matthew's face still had a look of doubt on his face as he stood on the boat, Zhu Que had no choice but to explain to you via voice transmission.

Later, Zhu Que explained some things about Dantong to Matthew.

Only then did Matthew know what the so-called Dantong was.

It turns out that as an alchemist, in addition to apprentices, there are also apprentices and alchemists.

The simplest form of apprenticeship is to learn the skills of an alchemist.

Although an apprentice is not as good as an apprentice, he can learn something more or less. Whether he can become a true apprentice depends on his talent and ability.

But to put it bluntly, Dantong is just an alchemy tool. He spends all day refining alchemy, so the difference in treatment between the two is not small.

Of course, Dantong can also learn some things, otherwise he would not be able to make elixirs.

If Dantong is really capable, he might become an apprentice or apprentice.

After knowing these circumstances, the doubts on Matthew's face dissipated.

It wasn't that he was worried that Li Mu would take away his position as his apprentice, but he felt a little confused about the sudden appearance of a Dantong.

The speed of the small boat was far inferior to that of the giant boat, and it took a long time to reach a mountain peak whose top was cut off.

After landing, Zhu Que led the two of them into a stone house on the top of the mountain.

With Zhu Que leading the way, the process of receiving entry-level items is very simple. You just need to hand over the tokens of Matthew and the other two and you will receive them.

There are not many entry items, including five Qi-nourishing pills, ten Bigu pills, a low-grade magic weapon, a flying magic weapon, five spiritual stones and a storage bag.

These are Li Mu's things, but Matthew's are a little different. The number of Qi-nourishing pills and Bigu pills is the same, the low-grade magic weapon has been replaced by a medium-grade magic weapon, and the spiritual stone has also changed from five to ten.

In addition, Matthew also received three Qi Gathering Pills.

"With different status, the treatment is indeed different." Looking at the items Matthew received, Li Mu said with some envy.

Matthew didn't react at all to Li Mu's envy. After putting the things into the storage bag, he followed Zhu Que back to the boat.

"The next thing we are going to is the Sutra Pavilion. Every new disciple can choose a technique or a secret technique. If you already have a suitable technique, you can choose a secret technique. This is rare. Don't be careless when you have an opportunity. If you want to go to the Library Pavilion again in the future, you will have to spend a certain amount of spirit stones and sect contribution points." Zhu Que patiently explained to the two of them.

"What's the use of sect contribution points?" Matthew heard this word for the first time and asked curiously.

"As long as you do something beneficial to the sect, you can get it, but it is extremely difficult to accumulate too many contribution points. The sect's contribution points can be exchanged for various items with the sect. If the contribution points are enough, even if the sect All three secret techniques of the sect can be redeemed. Outer sect disciples must complete chores six times a year, and each time there will be corresponding contribution points and rewards. Li Mu, your identity is Dantong, and you are treated the same as the outer sect disciples. I will distribute the contribution points and rewards." Zhu Que turned to look at Li Mu and said.

"I remember, Master Zhu!" Li Mu obediently saluted.

"Boy Ma, you are my disciple, and your status is naturally that of an inner disciple. As long as you can refine a sufficient amount of elixirs for the sect, you can also get contribution points. In addition, the monthly salary of an outer disciple It is a low-grade spirit stone, a Qi-nourishing pill and five Big-Fat Pills. The inner disciples get three low-grade Spirit Stones, a Qi-Gathering Pill and five Big-Fat Pills every month. I will pay these monthly stipends, and there is no need to go to the sect. Pick it up at the door." Zhu Que turned his head to Matthew and said slowly.

"Master, you have been in the sect for so many years, have you accumulated a lot of contribution points?" Matthew asked with a smile as his eyes rolled.

"Don't think about me contributing some points!" Zhu Que glared at Matthew and shouted.

Matthew didn't feel ashamed because his thoughts were seen through, he just kept giggling.
