Chapter 7: Entering Lingxu Sect

Yun Shang followed the instructions to return to the temple. After dinner, she couldn't help but think that cultivating immortals is almost the same as taking the imperial examination. There shouldn't be any tests, and they should be taught the techniques of cultivating immortals.

  As the saying goes, learning never ends. When everyone thought that all the entrance tests had been over and they should be taught some magic skills, Deacon Zhao announced an even more cruel news.

All those who have passed the Path of Self-Searching have been recognized by the sect, so next, in order to better lay a foundation for everyone's cultivation, the sect has customized corresponding pre-school courses for everyone.

That is, cultural and educational classes and physical training classes.

Among them, the cultural and educational classes are mainly used to teach everyone how to read and popularize knowledge about cultivating immortals. Those who are already literate or come from the world of cultivating immortals or immortal cultivation families can choose not to learn this; there is no differentiation in the physical training classes and everyone must participate.

Yun Shang: Oh, the military training is about to start at the beginning of the school year. It's so scary.

So, at the morning hour of the next day, the new disciples stood in the small square with sleepy eyes and began their inhumane training.

High-intensity physical training every day, plus a medicinal bath once a month, the various sour and refreshing feelings are too numerous to mention.

Half a year later, when everyone felt they could kill a cow with their bare hands and climb 10,000 steps without getting tired, the cultural and physical training classes finally ended.

"Dear fellow disciples, I'm here to give you a lecture today. My name is Feng Ruhui, and you can call me Senior Sister Feng." Feng Ruhui on the podium was wearing the same ice-blue outer disciple uniform as them.

However, there was a faint aura of power on her body, and her cultivation level was currently unknown. She guessed that her cultivation level should be around the late stage of Qi training.

"You should all have a preliminary understanding of the sect. Today I will tell you in detail about the sect's survival rules."

"Our Lingxu Sect has seven main peaks, namely, Dan Peak, Zhendao Peak, Fuzhuan Peak, Lianqi Peak, Shufa Peak, Jiandao Peak and Lingxu Peak which is controlled by the Sect Master."

"The sect will not provide you with training resources endlessly. Each person's monthly resources are fixed."

"After the resources are consumed, contribution points are needed to exchange them. There are two ways to obtain contribution points. One is that the sect issues 100 points to each person every month, and the other is to complete tasks..."

"Also, the sect is divided into the outer sect and the inner sect. Entering the inner sect will not only increase your training resources exponentially, but you will also be qualified to become a disciple..."

Lingxu Sect distinguishes inner and outer disciples by the color of their clothes. Outer disciples wear ice blue, inner disciples wear lake blue, and direct disciples not only wear lake blue but also have auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on their collars.

....

Waiting for the next arrangement.

At this time, a master uncle in white clothes walked forward. Just like the speech at the beginning of the school year in her previous life, the uncle took on the role of principal who motivated students to study. "Today, you will embark on the path of cultivating immortals. The road ahead will be long and difficult, and you can only rely on yourself. On the long road of cultivating immortals, only an unwavering heart can make you truly successful. And in our Lingxu Sect, the same is true..."

He talked for what seemed like several quarters of an hour, with foam flying all over his mouth.

Yun Shang was getting a little impatient listening to this, and only then did the inspiring words end and the main text begin. "Now let me explain the distribution of personnel. Those with single spiritual roots, please stand in that position first. There will be special monks waiting for you there."

The monk in white robes pointed to a place not far away. "Except for those with a single spiritual root, disciples please wait where you are. A cultivator will introduce you to some of the sect's rules later. In order to temper your minds and character, you monks must practice in the outer sect for a period of time. During this period, you will receive resources from the sect every month. But no matter whether you have two spiritual roots, three spiritual roots, or five spiritual roots, you must enter the first level of Qi training within half a year. Disciples with only one spiritual root who remain in the inner sect must enter the fourth level of Qi training within two years. Otherwise, you will become an outer disciple or a menial disciple of the sect, so work hard for your bright future now!"

"The sect doesn't support idle people, you must remember that!"

Yun Shang and the others were all attracted by the words of the man in white in front of them.

She didn't even know when the little boy appeared in front of her.

"Qiu Yue, take them to the outer gate, I will report the situation to the sect master." The person in charge said to the people at the gate.

Yun Shang looked up and saw a young man who appeared to be in his twenties, but she didn't know his bone age.

People who practice Taoism age very slowly, and after entering the Spiritual Transformation Stage, they will maintain the same appearance as when they advanced.

Unless some powerful people like the appearance of white hair and immortal appearance, appearance has nothing to do with age in the world of cultivation.

"Yes, disciple will take it over right away." Qiu Yue showed respect to the younger generation.

"This is the dining hall. To the left is where you usually study, and to the right is the mission hall and affairs hall," Qiu Yue introduced as he walked.

After that the little boy said to them: "This is the storage bag that the sect has distributed to you. Inside is a book about the sect's precepts. Go back and memorize it well. Now you can choose the cave you like."

As he spoke, the boy produced several storage bags and distributed them to Yun Shang and her group one by one.

…

On the other side, those who chose the cave were about to leave, with only a few people left. Yun Shang walked over and prepared to start choosing her residence. After all, she didn't want to sleep on the streets tonight.

Yun Shang came to the Affairs Hall.

(The Affairs Hall is the agency that handles the miscellaneous affairs of Lingxu Sect)

A person in charge in the office saw Yun Shang and walked towards her. He then pointed to a panel in the office and explained in detail: "Junior sister, take a look at these caves. The red ones are already inhabited, and the grey ones are not yet chosen. You can choose your own cave from them."

She nodded to indicate that she understood, and then looked at the panel for a while. The panel displayed information in great detail, like a small surveillance camera showing the topography around the cave.

Yun Shang couldn't help but marvel at it. She then pointed to a more secluded place and said, "Brother, I want that cave!"

"Junior sister, don't you want to think about it again? There are many caves with richer spiritual energy here. The spiritual energy there is scarce. I don't recommend you to live there." The senior brother looked at the direction Yun Shang pointed, somewhat disapprovingly, and shook his head.

"No, thank you, Senior Brother. It's very beautiful there, with picturesque scenery. I like it very much! Let's settle there!" Yun Shang said, pretending to be a spoiled little girl from a big family.

Indeed, the place is picturesque with green mountains and clear waters, the yard is surrounded by bamboo forests, and a gurgling river flows slowly.

It is indeed a good place. But the only drawback is that for cultivators, there is still too little spiritual energy for cultivation. In response to Yun Shang's determination, the senior brother sighed helplessly.

He was also giving advice with good intentions, hoping that this junior sister could get a better place to live. There was nothing he could do.

After all, he couldn't make choices for others. He had already advised them, but it was up to them to decide what to do.

Then he flicked his sleeves, and the originally gray and black dot turned bright red. It showed that someone was already living there.

He turned his hand and conjured up a copper-wooden sign and handed it to Yun Shang. "Junior sister, this bronze plate is easy to use. Just throw it into the air and it will lead you to your residence."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, brother."

"Junior sister, I won't bother you any more. I'm leaving now." After Yun Shang said goodbye to his senior brother, she threw the bronze plate up.

The bronze plate then floated in the air, guiding Yun Shang forward in a very spiritual way.
