The Path to Immortality

Seeing that Fang Ping had made his choice, Jiang Yucheng took out the sect's standard deed, asked Fang Ping and Cheng Guan to leave a mana breath on it, and then handed the deed in duplicate to the two of them as proof of employment. .

The two parties agreed that Fang Ping would hire Cheng Guan as Lingzhi's husband for a tentative period of ten years, and then decide whether to renew based on the situation.

The reward is that the latter is allowed to practice with the help of spiritual energy near the cave, and food and accommodation are provided, and he can take a bath once every six months.

After completing this step, the matter is officially finalized.

Jiang Yucheng released the flying boat and motioned for Guo Fuyou and the other three to board it. Then Fang Ping said: "Since Junior Brother Fang has found a suitable candidate, I will not stay any longer. I have something to do later."

"Wait a minute, I have a question."

Fang Ping stopped him, pointed at the three people on the flying boat, and asked pretending to be casual: "Do those who are not selected by me have their spiritual stones returned?"

Jiang Yucheng didn't even think about it and opened his mouth: "It's not all about collecting spirit stones. Xiao Guo is returning the favor. Dong and Lan's family gave fifty spirit stones. If you don't choose, half of them will be withdrawn..."

He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, so he never mentioned the next words, and said in a haha, "Junior brother Fang, you are not kind, you actually defrauded me!"

"Haha, Senior Brother Jiang is really dedicated to collecting money and doing things!"

Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, his tone a little more sinister.

Jiang Yucheng took this as a compliment and showed a proud look: "That's for sure. Everyone in the inner sect doesn't know that Mr. Jiang has never done that kind of bad behavior of accepting money and not doing anything... Of course, although he received the money, he I am also careful in my selection, and I will not just find a few people to fool my junior fellow apprentice.”

Faced with such a shameless person, what can Fang Ping say?

He could only shake his head slightly helplessly.

"By the way, Junior Brother Fang, there is one more thing. How have you considered it?" Jiang Yucheng thought of something and asked seriously: "Before the foundation is established, the inner disciples can choose among the foundation-building uncles who are willing to accept disciples. One apprentice. Have you decided who you want to be your apprentice?"

Fang Ping has also heard of this rule, or the benefits given to disciples.

He pondered: "Junior brother, I am new to the inner sect, and I don't know the inside story. I wonder if senior brother Jiang can teach me?"

Jiang Yucheng thought about it briefly and said: "To talk about becoming a disciple, we must first start with the current factions within the sect."

"As far as I know, there are currently three major factions in the sect."

"The first is the family faction, headed by the Jiang family, Chen family, Wang family and other major families in the sect."

"The family sect has two Jindan ancestors, plus many foundation-building monks. They are deeply entrenched in the sect and hold many important positions in the sect. Especially in the past two hundred years, there have been faint signs of a dominant family. "

"Among these big families, the Jiang family is the most powerful."

"The current head of Luoyang Sect, Jiang Wendao, a monk in the fake elixir realm, is from the Jiang family."

"The second is the other faction, whose members are mainly promoted to the inner sect from the outer sect's Tiandu Peak annex, various lower houses, and other vassal forces."

"Junior brother Fang, you come from an outer sect, so you can't escape the label of being a sect from another school."

"The power of the other courtyard sect is relatively the weakest. Currently, there is only one golden elixir ancestor in the sect who came from the outer sect, and this golden elixir ancestor formed the elixir more than two hundred years ago. Since then, the other courtyard has The sect has been losing talent, and there are only a few monks who can reach the late stage of foundation building."

"The last faction is the master-disciple sect. This group of disciples has a wide range of origins and origins. Basically, anyone who does not belong to the first two factions and has a master within the sect can be counted as this sect."

"Senior brother, I can be considered a master-disciple sect."

"There are also two golden elixir ancestors who came from the master-disciple sect. It's just that the monks of the master-disciple sect have complicated backgrounds and are loose internally. They are not as cohesive as the family sect, and the position of the leader has always been controlled by people recommended by the family sect. Therefore, it seems The force is not weak, but in fact it has been suppressed by the family faction and has to unite with the disciples of other factions to compete with the family faction. "

"Over the years, although the three major factions within the sect have been relatively balanced, there have always been conflicts overt and covert. When new disciples become disciples, they often choose the foundation-building master uncle of their own faction."

"Otherwise, even if others are willing to accept it, your move will be regarded as a kind of surrender and will be invisibly resisted by other monks of your own faction. It will not be worth it."

Is there still such a situation?

Fang Ping frowned upon hearing this.

But then I thought about it, it was strange that in such a huge sect, there were no factions within the sect.

I only hope that the five golden elixir ancestors of the sect can suppress this kind of internal strife.

Seeing that Fang Ping was thoughtful, Jiang Yucheng continued: "The situation is like this. Everyone who understands understands it. I don't want to say more about those who don't understand. In short, junior brother, if you want to become a disciple, you must first find out the identity of the other party. "

"Of course, you don't have to become a disciple."

"Compared with irregular sermons in the outer sect, there is a special lecture hall in the inner sect. There are foundation-building monks giving lectures every week, and sometimes even monks in the middle and late stages of foundation-building. Even many who have already become masters Disciples will also take time to listen to the lectures, so they don’t have to worry about practice issues.”

"Furthermore, many foundation-building monks are busy with their own cultivation. In fact, they rarely care about their disciples. They will even ask their disciples to help them run errands in the name of training and testing, which invisibly wastes a lot of practice time."

"The only disadvantage of this move is that it may lose a nominal backer."

"When you encounter some trouble, no matter how big or small, no Foundation Establishment monk can help you."

"Where to go, junior brother, you have to decide for yourself."

………

After sending Jiang Yucheng away, only Fang Ping and Cheng Guan were left outside the cave.

The latter said to Fang Ping a little awkwardly: "Since you asked, I will take the liberty to call you Brother Fang. But I don't know how many spiritual fields Brother Fang plans to open up, and what are you going to plant? If Brother Fang has considered it, I can start planting earlier."

Fang Ping had actually thought about this a long time ago.

According to the regulations of Luoyang Sect, in the cave outside Luoyun Peak, due to the large number of cultivators, each Qi training disciple is only allowed to open up one spiritual field at most. There are detailed requirements for the area and the location of the opening, which cannot be exceeded.

The requirements on Yunyang Peak are much more relaxed.

Due to the slightly lower concentration of spiritual energy, in order to make up for the cultivators here, each disciple can open up two spiritual fields, and the area of ​​the spiritual fields is also larger.

As for what to plant?

Cultivators who are expected to build a foundation often plant those relatively precious spiritual medicines that are hundreds of years old in the spiritual fields.

In this way, when they build a foundation in the future, whether they use it for themselves or sell it, it will be a huge profit.

As for other disciples, most of them would choose some spiritual herbs with relatively short growth periods such as five years and ten years. Occasionally, some people would choose to plant spiritual rice that matures once every one or two years.

The latter two have limited benefits, but they can be converted into cash faster, providing stable cultivation resources at this stage!

It can be said that each has its pros and cons.
