Natural Fairy Species

Chapter 50 Inner Disciple

“Elder Ni, this time the gate of the mountain is opened, a total of eight outer disciples and one hundred and twenty handyman disciples have been recruited... The background of all disciples has been investigated and they are all clean and available.”

 The middle-aged deacon leaned over and presented a list, which recorded the personal information of each disciple in detail.

Of course, the number of outer disciples in each session is not so small. The main reason is that the fairy seedlings discovered on weekdays have long been sent to the sect, and they cannot wait for the gate to open once every ten years.

Elder Ni took the file and stuffed it into his sleeve without looking at it carefully.

 He is actually only over fifty years old, and he was originally considered a promising foundation-building monk of Qingfeng Sect.

But not long after Zhuji went on a trip, he was ambushed by a demon girl from the Huanxi Sect.

  His cultivation was no match for that of the witch, and he was tortured for three days and nights after being captured.

Although the Huanxi sect demon girl did not take his life, her essence was squeezed out and her roots were damaged. Even her lifespan was lost for decades.

Yang Zhenren carefully checked it with Elder Ni and said frankly that unless he could take a very small number of heaven and earth spirit fruits, the avenue in this life would be cut off and it would be impossible to make any further progress in cultivation.

Suffering from this disaster, Elder Ni's image changed drastically. He exuded an old-fashioned air and was only responsible for common affairs such as ceremonies.

“Has the investigation of the two cultivators who were killed and kidnapped been clear?”

"We found out that the two of them, nicknamed the Que Family's Twin Wolves, often went to and from the market to sell monster materials. The proportion of casual cultivators who teamed up with them for expeditions was not high in the mountains, but several of them disappeared for no reason after half a year. In the mountains."

 Two casual cultivators died near the Qingfeng Gate, causing quite a stir.

 After in-depth investigation, it was discovered that the two men were highly suspected of being a robber.

 The middle-aged deacon felt happy for a moment, but fortunately he died before he even started.

If the two brothers become servant disciples, if anything happens, he, the person who passed the assessment, will be implicated.

“It is basically certain that it was a vendetta. Uncle Ma went to the scene to investigate, and the perpetrator did not leave any clues. He only used a flying sword to kill two people in a short time.”

"Uncle Ma can only judge that the person who took action is a monk in the late stage of Qi refining, and his sword skills are proficient and ruthless. The cultivation level cannot be higher, otherwise the defense weapon of the second son of the Que family should be chopped into pieces with one sword."

"There is a high probability that the outsider cultivators were targeted by the Que family brothers and tried to kill people to seize the treasure. Who knew that the man had a flying sword in his hand and easily killed the two of them."

The middle-aged deacon reported the exact opinions given by Uncle Ma. Anyway, Elder Ji Zhu gave the decision.

 As for whether the murderer can be tracked down, that is the job of the law enforcement palace.

“Form a file, give one copy to the Law Enforcement Palace, and one copy to me. Maybe they will ask about it when I have to report to the boss later.”

 Elder Ni dusted off his Taoist robe and stood up slowly.

“There is also a newly promoted inner disciple waiting for me to deal with.”

"Where did the inner disciples come from at this time? The sect's younger brother hasn't arrived yet... Could it be that he is a disciple specially promoted by the master?"

 The middle-aged deacon bowed and felt something in his heart.

Ordinary inner disciples are fine, but if they are promoted by the master, the meaning is different.

 …

The first two times he came to Qingfeng Gate, Bai Zichen was a visitor. This time, after announcing his identity and purpose of visit, he was immediately led to the Chuan Gong Hall.

After waiting in a side hall for a full hour, there were sounds of footsteps, and three foundation-building elders arrived together.

 “Bai Zichen has met several elders.”

Bai Zichen bowed his head and saluted. His eyes glanced over and found that both of them were acquaintances.

The man on the left is dark-skinned, rugged and bold. He is the elder Peng Chong who was responsible for inheriting the stone tablet;

The man on the right is Elder Ni Kuan, who has a stooped figure and always looks sad and tired. He presided over this grand opening of the mountain gate to recruit new disciples.

 The man in the middle has a slightly higher status and brings a stronger sense of oppression than the other elders.

“Pei Dongyong of the Master Chuan Gong Palace, the headmaster has explained your matter before retreating. It seems that you have made the right choice... With your talent, you can only explore it as much as you become a disciple of this sect.”

This elder Pei is short and thin. He looks like a shriveled old man, but there is a bright light flashing between his eyes.

"Speaking of which, we old men have to share your gratitude... Aragami's Sun-stealing Technique is a good thing. At least there is still some hope."

“Elder Pei’s words are serious. The inheritance stone tablet was given by the sect, and it was also a coincidence that I got this secret skill.”

Bai Zichen immediately matched the lean old man in front of him with the people on the list in his memory.

Clan leader Bai Xianzhong gave him some knowledge about the most powerful and highly cultivated people in the Qingfeng Sect, and Pei Dongyong, the elder of the Chuan Gong Hall, was among them.

Pei Dongyong, the elder of the Chuan Gong Hall, is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. He once defeated a monk of the same level from the Ghost Spirit Sect with his innate five-element capture hand.

He is one of the few counterattack representatives in the Qingfeng Sect who is not a true disciple, but has climbed to the position of elder step by step.

This person only has the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots, and his cultivation speed has always been at the lower end of the sect disciples of his generation, so he barely became an inner sect disciple.

  Within a few years, he was transferred to the outside department because he could not keep up with his cultivation progress.

But his understanding is extremely high, no matter what magic he practices, he can master it in one fell swoop. At the age of forty-five, he finally achieved the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

The next year, a vein of spiritual stone was discovered, which made a great contribution to the world.

He was awarded the Foundation Building Pill and succeeded in building the foundation in one fell swoop, which shocked the sect.

 The combination of his advanced age, four spiritual roots, and being in charge of the outer sect made Pei Dongyong the idol of all the ordinary disciples of the Qingfeng Sect. Everyone hoped that they could be like him, quietly saving money, and soaring into the sky.

As for Pei Dongyong's ability to achieve the position of the elder of Chuan Gong Hall, it can also be seen from his achievements in mastering magic and understanding skills.

"Inner disciples are the foundation of our sect. All benefits and benefits are introduced in this jade slip. At the same time, all the classics on the first and second floors of the Chuan Gong Hall are open to you for free, and you can come in at any time. Borrow.”

“And in the second-level high-grade spiritual veins, you can choose a cave yourself, and send two handyman disciples to serve you at the same time, so as to prevent the inner disciples from being distracted by the general affairs.”

“As for the problems encountered in practice, every three months an elder will hold a Dharma meeting in the Chuan Gong Hall to exchange and answer questions. It is specially opened for you inner disciples.”

“At the same time, unlike the outer disciples and the handyman disciples, the inner disciples do not have any mandatory sect tasks. What you have to do is to practice hard and compete for a spot as a true disciple.”

"Five years, each inner disciple only has five years... If he fails to become a true disciple, he will be sent to the outer disciples to do some work, and these benefits will have nothing to do with you."

Ordinary inner sect disciples are already familiar with these regulations. It is because of Bai Zichen, a special case, that he has the status of an inner sect disciple as soon as he enters the sect, so Elder Pei needs to introduce them in detail.

Elder Pei took out a large seal and pressed it **** a file with Bai Zichen's name written on it. A trace of golden light sank into the seal.

 The other two elders also attached seals at the back.

In this way, Bai Zichen’s identity as an inner disciple of the Qingfeng Sect was confirmed.

 “Disciple understands.”

Taking the jade slip and a waist badge representing the inner disciples of the Qingfeng Sect, Bai Zichen saluted the three elders.

 It seems like it’s time for me to have a new five-year plan.
