Chapter 57 What a Coincidence?
Since Li Yan heard the gentle voice when he entered the sect, and then saw Wei Chongran's humble face and the process of becoming his apprentice, he always inadvertently overlapped him with Master Ji Jun, although the two men's figures were so different, one fat and one thin, and they could not overlap at all. So he had the idea that even though he became a disciple, he had to bow his head under the eaves. Who made him so weak now? But he had never had any respect for this master in his heart. He didn't know if there was a knife hidden behind that humble face.
But when he was called to go up, he had to bite the bullet and get up and go up. When he went up, everyone below was looking at him. They didn't know what the master was doing. Only the master's wife seemed to know what to do next. Seeing Li Yan's nervous expression, she couldn't help but smile. In this bamboo house in the main hall, it was like a breeze in the shade of the trees on a sunny summer day. Her red lips opened slightly, "The little guy looks a little scared."
Wei Chongran also noticed Li Yan's expression, and his pure voice sounded, "Just to see your qualifications, so that I can choose a technique for you later." He still knew very little about the cultivation of this new disciple. Even his origin was told by Li Yan himself, and his qualifications were also told by Senior Brother Feng. Unlike other disciples, before entering, the subordinate sect reported detailed information or he tested it himself.
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Yan's wrist. The fat man who was just like an ordinary mortal suddenly became extremely fierce. When Li Yan was still dazed and didn't react, he felt a pure warm sun spirit invading his body. When Li Yan raised his head, the spirit power had disappeared without a trace, and the pressure on his body was gone.
Wei Chongran put down Li Yan's wrist, with a thoughtful look on his face. Although he had heard about Li Yan's qualifications, he would not doubt that Senior Brother Feng lied about this matter, but he always held the mood of just in case. Of course, he was still a little disappointed. Mixed spiritual roots, real mixed spiritual roots, this is also unique in the Wuliang Sect. Even menial disciples will not accept such spiritual roots.
Wei Chongran pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Li Yan, your spiritual root is best for water, so don't practice the introductory exercises of Lingchong Peak. I will ask your senior brother to take you to the treasure pavilion of this peak to choose a water-attributed exercise and several immortal arts. This will be more suitable for your practice. Well, after you choose, you can let your senior brother explain and teach you first. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me directly, okay?"
Li Yan was stunned after hearing this. It turned out that he was helping him choose exercises and immortal arts. Although he didn't know how to practice the exercises in the sect, he said so. Besides, he didn't need the exercises, but he needed those immortal arts. After seeing the "fire bomb technique" and "wood thorn technique" of Master Ji, he was very yearning for immortal arts.
Li Yan actually didn't know Wei Chongran's care for him. Introductory exercises like his in the Condensation Stage were explained by senior brothers around the ninth or tenth level of the Condensation Stage in major sects. They were the brothers who taught the exercises and specialized in helping the beginners.
It is absolutely a waste of talent to have Li Wuyi, who is in the foundation building stage, teach him. Even the seventh senior brother Lin Daqiao, who is a master in the Qi Condensation stage, can teach him. However, the higher the level of explanation, the more things you can understand. Therefore, Wei Chongran asked Li Yan to come and ask him if he has any questions. Such treatment is extremely rare in the sect.
This is also because Wei Chongran knows that Li Yan’s qualifications are not good, so he wants to give him the best help. ????
Li Yan certainly didn’t know this. He thought that it was normal for a master to teach his disciples. Moreover, here
Only the eldest senior brother was allowed to lead him, so he thanked him respectfully on the surface, "Thank you, Master."
"Well, that's it. You can leave. Wuyi will take Li Yan to arrange accommodation, and then go to the Treasure Pavilion to select the exercises and immortal arts."
"Master, eldest senior brother, let me take the younger junior brother. The disciple can still do these things. When the younger junior brother starts to practice the exercises, he will go to the eldest senior brother to solve the doubts." At this time, a crisp voice sounded.
Everyone looked over and saw the long-armed Lin Daqiao, who had stood up and walked towards Li Yan.
Wei Chongran understood the reason immediately. Lin Daqiao had entered the sect relatively late and had not yet broken through to the foundation-building stage. He was the only registered disciple among the disciples. He must have found a companion, so he was happy.
Wei Chongran smiled and nodded, "Haha, that's fine, Wuyi, you can arrange for Daqiao to handle it." After saying that, he glanced at the beautiful woman in white palace clothes beside him. The two stood up at the same time and floated out of the door, leaving only a group of disciples to see them off.
After the two of them disappeared from the door, a pleasant voice came.
"Daqiao, why are you calling me your junior brother? Are you going to grow a little taller?" It was the fourth senior sister Miao Wangqing in the goose yellow long skirt who looked at Lin Daqiao with a playful look on her face.
It turned out that before Li Yan came, Lin Daqiao was the youngest registered disciple here. Everyone called him "little junior brother", which made him feel that he was not growing up in the eyes of others, which made him quite unhappy. Now that Li Yan has just arrived, he can't wait to take off this title.
Lin Daqiao has walked in front of Li Yan, hugged Li Yan's shoulders enthusiastically, and looked back at the fourth sister. "Isn't it? You still call me "little junior brother", so shouldn't I call Junior Brother Li Senior Brother Li?" After saying that, she winked at Li Yan again.
Li Yan was not used to being so close to others since the incident with the Third Division Division. However, seeing that the Seventh Senior Brother was so familiar with her, it was difficult to pry his hand away for a while, so he could only smile.
Miao Wangqing saw that Lin Daqiao looked proud, and then saw that the others were looking at her. She secretly glanced at Li Wuyi, and straightened her chest, which made her figure more plump and round. Just as she was about to continue speaking, another voice rang out, "Fourth Senior Sister, let's go." At this time, the short-haired Sixth Senior Sister Gong Chenying stood up, which made her figure more slender and fit. She just glanced at Li Yan again, and then pulled Miao Wangqing's dress and walked out.
"Junior sister, junior sister, I still have something to teach Daqiao, don't leave in a hurry." Miao Wangqing was pulled out by the cold Gong Chenying and walked away reluctantly.
"Really? Are you sure it's Daqiao?" They had reached the door, and the cold voice came faintly, but it seemed that the voice deliberately emphasized a certain word.
At this time, Miao Wangqing said nothing more. She covered Gong Chenying's mouth in a panic and pulled her away.
Only three people were left in the room. Li Yan was confused, but he clearly felt that the arm of his seventh senior brother who was holding him was shaking constantly, and he was holding back a smile on his face. The next moment, his face changed, and he turned back to look at Li Wuyi with a sad face,
Then he whispered, "People, can't be too handsome, otherwise they dare not go out for three days."
Li Wuyi touched his nose with a depressed look.
At this time, the second senior brother, who was a little too sturdy, also walked in front of Li Yan, stretched out his hand and patted Li Yan on the shoulder, "Eighth junior brother, if you have time, come to the senior brother's yard to sit down, you can also ask me if you have any questions, practice as soon as possible, so that you can learn from the second senior brother, alas!" He said this to Li Yan at first, but finally looked at Li Wuyi who was depressed on the side, sighed, turned around and left the hall.
When he slapped him, Li Yan felt like a big bear hit him. Half of his body was numb and he couldn't help but grin. He was only fifteen years old now, so he didn't understand what they were saying. He just felt that they were all weird, but it seemed like they were talking about the eldest brother.
"Second brother, second brother, you have to call him junior brother, junior brother," Lin Daqiao on the side shouted to the big man's back.
"Ahem, eighth junior brother, your second brother is a cultivation maniac. When you reach a higher level, you have to... well, how should I put it, your second brother may like to discuss more about exercises and immortal arts with you."
Li Wuyi coughed dryly and said to Li Yan. He really called Li Yan a junior brother. Li Yan thought to himself, "It's just that this second brother may like to compete with others", but at this time he didn't take it seriously. Only God knows when he will build his foundation.
Li Wuyi looked at Lin Daqiao again and saw that the other party was still looking at the door and mumbling.
"Haha, Daqiao, take the junior brother to arrange accommodation, and then explain the sect rules and various entry-level basics. Oh, and then tell the junior brother all the knowledge you just learned when you were in the sect. You just heard about his background, and he doesn't know much about the world of immortal cultivation, so the more detailed the better. Well, let me choose the exercises. After you make these arrangements, it will probably be evening, so I will go to find the junior brother tomorrow morning."
He let Lin Daqiao be responsible for popularizing the entry-level knowledge to Li Yan, and he was relieved about this, but later he still considered that this junior brother had a lively personality. Choosing exercises is a big deal, so it's better for him to be responsible. It must be said that he is really a thoughtful person.
"Okay, don't worry, senior brother" Lin Daqiao listened to Li Wuyi calling Li Yan's "junior brother" more and more smoothly, and couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, Junior Brother, I'll go back first. I guess we won't be able to solve these problems until tonight. You should have a good rest and get familiar with the environment. I'll come to you tomorrow morning to choose the skills and magic."
Li Wuyi was very considerate and gave Li Yan another reminder.
"Okay, Senior Brother, I'm sorry to bother you today." Li Yan said politely.
Then the three of them left the hall and went their separate ways outside the hall.
Li Yan walked behind the main hall they had just come out of. Lin Daqiao led him up the mountain, talking as they walked. Li Yan felt that Lin Daqiao was a talkative person, but he had a good impression of her. He felt that this person was a bit simple-minded and should be the kind of person who would talk about whatever he thought of. Li Yan would occasionally interject, and Lin Daqiao would answer every question.
>
In this way, Li Yan easily learned some things about Lin Daqiao. Lin Daqiao is 20 years old this year and comes from a third-rate sect in Changkongzhou, which is also under the jurisdiction of the Wuliang Sect. He is in the southwest of the Wuliang Sect, which is dominated by several third-rate sects and not even a second-rate sect.
The immortal sect that Lin Daqiao belonged to was one of the best in Changkongzhou. His aptitude was the most outstanding among the third-rate sects at that time. However, he was discovered by that third-rate sect relatively late, at the age of twelve, which was a few years earlier than Li Yan's entry into the immortal path. He reached the second level of the Qi Condensation Stage after only one year of cultivation there. He was regarded as a genius once in a hundred years by that third-rate sect. In the third year, he also squeezed into the fifth level. When the Wuliang Sect was recruiting disciples, he was sent over together. He didn't want to be favored by Wei Chongran at first sight and accepted as a registered disciple. It has been more than six years since he entered the sect this year, and he has cultivated to the tenth level of the Qi Condensation Stage. It takes almost a year to improve one level. You should know that the further you go in cultivating immortals, the harder it is to advance. His aptitude is not much worse than Li Wuyi. At present, he is preparing to impact the foundation-building stage.
Li Yan felt strange after hearing this. If the lower sects sent the geniuses they had worked hard to find to the upper immortal sects, how could these small sects develop themselves? Then Lin Daqiao's words also made him feel relieved.
It turned out that when the four major sects recruited disciples, the subordinate immortal sects could also choose not to send disciples, but this would mean that the disciples in the subordinate immortal sects would lose the excellent opportunity to ascend to immortality, because whether in terms of skills, immortal arts, or various resources, their limited resources, combined with the power of the entire sect, basically had no hope of supporting a golden elixir master in two hundred years, but in the four major sects, there was this possibility.
In addition, after those who were sent to the four major sects had established their foundation or formed a golden elixir, they had to serve as elders or supreme elders of their own immortal sects. At this time, the four major sects would also award their sects with a generous reward for finding talents with excellent qualifications. These rewards could only be achieved after the accumulation of several years, decades, or even hundreds of years by second- and third-rate or even inferior sects. These would greatly increase the strength of these small immortal sects and develop rapidly. Why wouldn't the subordinate immortal sects do it?
As for why the four major sects did such a thankless thing, it was purely Li Yan's ignorance. Although these people returned to their respective immortal sects, these immortal sects still belonged to the four major sects. The stronger they were, the stronger the four major sects would be. Moreover, their soul lamps after building their foundation would stay in the four major sects. When the four major sects had problems, they themselves and even the entire sects had to help, so this was a mutually beneficial thing, otherwise the lamps would be extinguished and people would die.
In addition, due to the rich resources of the four major sects, there were still many people who served as elders and supreme elders of the small immortal sects after building their foundation and forming the elixir, but they would not leave the four major sects and would stay in the sect to practice in seclusion. This also made the four major sects have many golden elixirs and gathered people to build their foundation.
However, these are not what the second and third sects are willing to do if they are ambitious and want to develop their sects into super powers. Some sects will not send their real elites and talented disciples, but the four major sects turn a blind eye to these small shrimps. They are behemoths, and if you want to shake them, there must be signs. As long as the signs appear, they will strike at will, and those ambitious people will be wiped out as a whole.
