Chapter 1268 Inner Nine Peaks

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two of them parted ways.

The nine inner peaks are the core of the Immortal Sword Sect. Above the nine outer peaks are the places where millions of outer disciples practice. Only a small number of outer and inner elders perform some management duties.

The nine inner peaks are divided into the lower three peaks, the middle three peaks, and the upper three peaks.

The lower three peaks are where inner disciples like Xiao Lin practice, with the largest number. The Immortal Sword Sect disciples in the middle three peaks include the inner core disciples, as well as those Immortal Sword Sect disciples who have reached the sword realm and have advanced to the golden elixir stage or above.

As for the upper three peaks, only the inner core elders and a group of sect cores above the refining virtual stage can enter and open up caves for practice.

Xiao Lin had just joined the inner sect, so he was naturally not qualified to enter the middle three peaks and the upper three peaks. He could only enter the lower three peaks. Bai Xingge, as a core disciple of the inner sect, could directly enter the middle three peaks. The two had different identities, so they naturally had to separate temporarily.

Along the mountain road, Xiao Lin went to the three huge peaks in the distance. The so-called inner nine peaks are not just nine peaks, but a cluster of nine peaks.

However, the inner nine peaks are the core of each, and there are several or even dozens of small peaks around them.

Xiao Lin walked on the stone steps in the mountains, feeling surprisingly calm. The surrounding green mountains and green waters were like a fairyland.

Xiao Lin recalled the various encounters he had since embarking on the immortal path. There were noble people who helped him, and there were also evil people who designed him. At the same time, he also encountered various dangers, but he also had opportunities and good fortune.

The immortal road can be said to be full of thorns and difficulties, but the scenery at high altitudes is also particularly attractive.

Immortality is the ultimate goal of every immortal cultivator. Drinking morning dew and watching snow in the morning, today's prosperity and tomorrow's extreme, going in and out of the blue sky and glimpsing the universe, all kinds of scenery, all inspire immortal cultivators to keep moving forward.

The improvement of realm, the cultivation of magical powers, intrigues, plots, in the final analysis, are all for going further on the immortal path.

For Xiao Lin, these are not what he wants, but he has to do it.

At this moment, Xiao Lin forgot the past, forgot the past, just to enjoy this moment of tranquility. He did not use the escape light, nor did he shrink the earth into an inch, but just walked step by step on this mountain path like an ordinary scholar.

Along the way, Xiao Lin saw sword lights coming in and out of the mountains and clouds, accompanied by whistles from time to time.

The burly figure and graceful figure shuttled through the sea of ​​clouds in the distance. This is the "immortal" in the eyes of mortals, but only those practitioners in this mountain know that they are still far away from the "immortal". Even the top-level strongmen in this immortal mountain, the three ancestors in the tribulation period, have amazing magical powers and can turn the clouds and rain, move mountains and seas, but they are still not "immortals".

As long as you haven't become an immortal, you can't live forever. When the time comes, you will still return to dust and return to earth. The extraordinary supernatural powers will eventually become a dream.

Unconsciously, Xiao Lin came to a loft. This loft, located halfway up the mountain, is simple and elegant, complementing the green mountains and green waters, without any sense of disobedience.

"Green Lake Peak"

In front of the loft, there stands a half-meter-high stone tablet. The three words on it are also the name of this mountain, one of the nine peaks in the Immortal Sword Sect.

"Jieju Tower."

This is the name of this loft. Xiao Lin smiled slightly and walked straight into the loft.

In the lobby of the loft, two people were sitting upright. From their clothes, Xiao Lin judged that they were inner disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect. They were all in their twenties. One was very thin, and the other was slightly normal.

Seeing Xiao Lin coming in, the thinner disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect immediately smiled.

"Congratulations to this junior brother for successfully becoming an inner disciple of our Xianjian Divine Sect. This is the Doubt-solving Building. As the name suggests, it is a place for newly-reported disciples to answer their questions. Junior brother, any questions you have can be answered here."

Xiao Lin came in front of the two and bowed. Both of them were in the late stage of foundation building, and they looked only in their early twenties, which made him amazed.

The immortal cultivation resources in this spiritual world are indeed incomparable to those in the mortal world. The immortal cultivation talents that can be recruited by a large human sect like the Xianjian Divine Sect are basically the best in the human race. Of course, the resources of the sect are also the top among the countless sects of the entire human race.

"Hello, brothers. My name is Xiao Shi. I just passed the assessment today and joined the inner sect. I want to know my residence. I also want to know the places I can enter and exit, as well as some places on Green Lake Peak."

The tall and thin man heard this and glanced at the other inner sect disciple next to him who had no expression on his face. Then he smiled and took out a thin book. The book was bound with ordinary rice paper, and four ancient seal characters [Newcomer's Guide] were written on the cover.

The tall and thin man showed a mysterious smile on his face and said, "This junior brother is so lucky. I happen to have a [Newcomer's Guide] here, and this is the only one left. It records in detail all the functions of our inner nine peaks, as well as several forbidden areas, and even the authority and rights of disciples of each level. They are all described clearly. Junior brother looks kind and very congenial. Five hundred low-grade spirit stones will be sold to junior brother? Of course, it doesn't matter if junior brother doesn't want to buy it, but the two of us are answering based on memory, and there may be many omissions. As long as junior brother doesn't mind, there will be no problem."

Xiao Lin has been cultivating immortals for thousands of years. After hearing this, how could he not know the purpose? This is obviously abusing power for personal gain, taking the opportunity to make things difficult for newcomers and making profits for himself.

However, this kind of thing is not only common in the mortal world, but also in this world of cultivating immortals, such a large sect as the Immortal Sword Divine Sect is not immune to it, which really makes him sigh in his heart.

Five hundred low-grade spirit stones, although not a large number, but the advantage is that a little adds up to a lot. There are at least a thousand inner disciples who have joined the Xianjian Divine Sect. Even if they are scattered, there are at least a hundred people who have walked in here. To be conservative, even if half of them choose to buy, it is tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

This is also a considerable income for the inner disciples of the Xianjian Divine Sect.

Xiao Lin knew it well, but he didn't say it. He took out five hundred spirit stones and handed them to the tall and thin man, and took the [Newcomer's Handbook] from him.

"Haha, Junior Brother is really straightforward. Our Green Lake Peak is one of the three lower peaks. There are more than ten auxiliary peaks around it, all located on a dragon spirit vein. The spiritual energy is abundant, so whether it is the main peak or the auxiliary peak, the concentration of spiritual energy on it is not a problem. It's just a matter of whether you like it lively or quiet. We inner disciples can choose a place in the auxiliary peak to build a cave, of course, as long as we don't disturb others."

"As for the place to receive the skills, it is recorded in great detail in this [Newcomer's Handbook]. In addition, every three days, the Green Lake Peak Transmission Hall will have an inner elder come to preach for us inner disciples. Answer questions and doubts. Every three years, the core elders of the inner sect will come to preach, and sometimes even pass down magical skills. Don't miss it. Every hundred years, one of the three chief elders of our Xianjian Shenzong will preach at the upper three peaks. At that time, all inner disciples can participate. This kind of opportunity is rare in a lifetime, and it is even more important not to miss it. You must know that the realm of swordsmanship described by the three chief elders is mysterious and unpredictable. As long as you can understand a few words, it will be of great benefit. "

The tall and thin man felt Xiao Lin's refreshing, and was obviously in a good mood. He told some special precautions one by one without reservation, and also emphasized that several forbidden places in the sect must not be set foot, otherwise they will face the disaster of facing the wall in the black prison.

He kept talking for half an hour before stopping.

"Junior brother, what I'm telling you is the precautions that are not recorded in this [Newcomer's Handbook]. The rest can be found in it." After the tall and thin man finished speaking, he glanced at the several inner disciples who had just passed the trial and waved to Xiao Lin, indicating that he could leave.

Xiao Lin also bowed very tactfully and left.

After leaving the Puzzle-solving Building, Xiao Lin came to a cliff halfway up the mountain and looked at the surrounding auxiliary peaks. The Green Lake Peak was several thousand feet high. Although Xiao Lin was standing halfway up the mountain at this moment, he was already above the white clouds, and the surrounding dozen auxiliary peaks were all more than three thousand feet high, and the peaks were also unusually thick.

Each mountain covered an area of ​​at least a hundred miles.

Xiao Lin put his hands behind his back, looking at the fairyland in the distance, but in his heart he was thinking about where to build the cave.

With his personality, he would not choose Green Lake Peak. After observing for a long time, Xiao Lin waved his sleeves and a flying sword immediately appeared in front of him. He took a step forward, stepped on the flying sword, turned into a green spiritual light, and shot towards the distance.

He was just a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage at the moment, and chose the lowest-level flying sword.

With an extremely slow speed, Xiao Lin searched in the mountains for half a day before landing in a very inconspicuous valley.

Xiao Lin had searched the surrounding ten miles, and no one lived there, but this was not surprising. The entire Green Lake Peak was hundreds of miles in radius, all surrounded by an underground dragon spirit vein. The valley that Xiao Lin chose was very remote and the spiritual energy was much worse.

However, Xiao Lin did not care about this. He first searched and explored in the valley, and after confirming that there was no problem again, he drove the flying sword and began to open up a cave in an inconspicuous position behind a rock.

Two hours later, a simple cave was dug. The narrow corridor was about ten feet long, and inside, Xiao Lin dug out three secret rooms, one for refining pills, one for refining tools, and one for meditation and cultivation.

After doing all this, Xiao Lin set up some invisible restrictions around. This kind of restriction would not be activated at ordinary times, and even if it was activated, the power was not obvious. The only function was to detect. As long as someone approached within a hundred feet of his cave, he would know immediately.

Of course, if a cultivator in the fusion stage came to the valley, the restriction would not be detected. After all, once a cultivator in the fusion stage used the secret art of concealment, Xiao Lin's current realm would not be able to detect it at all.

After completing the restriction, Xiao Lin came to the lounge, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, took out the [Newcomer's Handbook], and opened it to read it carefully.

Four hours later, Xiao Lin gently closed the [Newcomer's Handbook].

Although the name of this [Newcomer's Handbook] is vulgar, it is indeed very helpful to Xiao Lin. As the tall and thin man said, the things recorded in this handbook are all very necessary for newcomers like him.

It records in detail the locations of various functional departments of the Xianjian Divine Sect and the conditions for entry.

Including [Scripture Building], [Weapon Refining Workshop], [Transmission Building] and other places.

At the same time, as Xiao Lin expected, although the status of inner disciples in the Xianjian Divine Sect is far higher than that of ordinary outer disciples, they are still low-level existences in the Xianjian Divine Sect after all, and their authority is very limited.

For example, the [Scripture Tower] that can be entered is only the [Scripture Tower] of the lower three peaks and the middle three peaks. As for the [Scripture Tower] of the upper three peaks, Xiao Lin has no right to enter it with his current status.

This is not surprising. For a top sect like the Immortal Sword Divine Sect, ordinary people from the sect cannot peek into some of the sect's core classics.

For example, some sect-protecting skills and magical powers, as well as those ancient secret books, are also impossible for ordinary disciples to browse.

In the final analysis, in the entire Immortal Sword Divine Sect, the most core is the upper three peaks, and only a very small number of inner sect core disciples and many elders and senior officials can enter the upper three peaks.

Especially the Immortal Sword Peak among the upper three peaks, only the three tribulation ancestors and their relatives and disciples can enter and exit. Others, even an inner sect elder in the fusion stage, cannot enter unless summoned.

The top immortal cultivation resources of the entire Immortal Sword Divine Sect are also placed in this Immortal Sword Peak, and are kept by the disciples designated by the three tribulation ancestors.

Therefore, if you want to truly master the top-level skills and magical powers of the Immortal Sword Sect, you must either advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage or become a direct disciple of the three Tribulation Crossing ancestors, otherwise it is impossible to obtain it.

Although Xiao Lin was able to pass the assessment of inner disciples through some special magical skills and join the sect, he could not really get in touch with the core classics of the sect.

Of course, Xiao Lin did not lack top-level cultivation skills and magical powers, and he was not very interested in the skills and magical powers of the Immortal Sword Sect.

All he had to do was to find a quiet place, concentrate on studying and comprehending the mysteries of the sword, and at the same time, polish and practice his several magical powers, that's all.

After spending more than an hour to formulate a plan for the next practice, Xiao Lin began to meditate and entered the state of practice.

The next day, Xiao Lin opened his eyes at dawn. After he left the cave, he drove a top-grade magic weapon and flew towards Green Lake Peak.

After flying to a bamboo forest above the Questioning Tower on Green Lake Peak, Xiao Lin landed, turned and crossed a stone stairway in the bamboo forest, and continued to head up the mountain.

Green Lake Peak, from the bamboo forest upwards, was banned from flying, and only people could walk. The purpose of Xiao Lin's trip was exactly the location of the [Jing Tower] in the lower three peaks - the Enlightenment Cliff.
