Chapter 161: Natal Lamp
Hearing the name of Tianyi Patriarch, everyone's faces showed admiration and envy.
Xiao Lin was no exception. Yuanying Stage, this was a realm that they dared not even think about. Xiao Lin knew that the life span of Yuanying Stage cultivators was definitely more than a thousand years.
What was a thousand years? It was enough time for a mortal to reproduce for dozens of generations. Even in Dancao Mountain, even if everyone in the sect died several times, maybe this Tianyi Patriarch was still alive.
When talking about Tianyi Patriarch, the fat-faced cultivator was also full of longing. Although he was a foundation-building cultivator, he dared not even think about the Yuanying Stage.
There were about 10,000 Qi-refining cultivators in Dancao Mountain, and less than 10% of them could eventually enter the foundation-building stage, which was about a few hundred people.
Among these hundreds of foundation-building cultivators, only a few can finally condense the golden elixir. This probability is several times more difficult than foundation-building. You should know that the thirteen golden elixir ancestors of Dancao Mountain now stand out from several batches of foundation-building cultivators.
It can be seen that with the improvement of realm, the probability of breaking through the bottleneck of the realm will increase exponentially.
Otherwise, in the past thousand years, there would not be only one Yuanying ancestor in the entire Dancao Mountain.
"Well, let alone you, even I, your uncle, dare not think about the Nascent Soul stage. To enter the Nascent Soul stage, you must have a natural spiritual root. Otherwise, you can't just practice hard, but also have a great opportunity."
"You just need to know the name of our Dancao Mountain Tianyi Patriarch. Even Qu has not seen Tianyi Patriarch for thirty years since joining the sect."
"In addition, the other eight peaks of our Dancao Mountain are Qingzhu, Ziye, Hongluan, Jinxia, Qijue, Cuishui, Qinghuo, and Yingyuan.
"And on the top of these eight peaks, live the eight Jindan ancestors of our Dancao Mountain. I think you are also very surprised. Aren't there thirteen Jindan ancestors in our Dancao Mountain? Why are there only eight? It's actually very simple. "
"Two of the thirteen Jindan ancestors accompany Tianyi all year round and are responsible for waiting for dispatch. The other three guard our Cuixia Hall in Dancao Mountain. If the head of the sect, Changqing Zhenren, cannot decide something, he will discuss with the three ancestors and make a decision. "
Xiao Lin and others below were fascinated by what they heard. These people are the high-end combat power of Dancao Mountain, the foundation of a sect, and the top of the pyramid of cultivators in Tianlu Mountain Range.
Everyone's heart was full of longing and reverie.
Xiao Lin's heart beat a few points faster than usual. He deliberately passed the cave test and obtained the Dao Order to join Dancao Mountain. Why? Isn't it to be able to build a foundation and become a real cultivator?
Not to mention Tianyi and the thirteen Jindan ancestors of Dancao Mountain, just the cultivator surnamed Qu in front of him is the goal of Xiao Lin and others. Although Xiao Lin knows that the realm of the cultivator surnamed Qu is the foundation building period, in the foundation building period What level is it, but he can't sense it at all.
Facing the cultivator named Qu, Xiao Lin and others didn't even have the idea of using their spiritual sense to investigate. In the world of cultivation, it is extremely impolite for low-level cultivators to use their spiritual sense to investigate high-level cultivators, and it can even be said to be a provocation.
Under normal circumstances, those who use spiritual sense to investigate others are high-level cultivators against low-level cultivators, or in the same realm, with a difference of one or two small realms.
"Okay, Dancao Mountain is ahead. I will take you to "Qingxin Palace" first. When you get there, Qu's mission will be completed. After entering "Qingxin Palace", there will be people from the sect to receive you and arrange accommodation for you. "
Soon, Xiao Lin and his companions arrived in front of several huge peaks on the spirit boat. They didn't notice it from a distance before, but now they found that the Qingdan Mountain in the middle was extremely huge. The part exposed to the clouds alone was probably hundreds of feet high.
And the top of the mountain was covered with white snow. Under the reflection of the golden sun, it emitted colorful rays of light, which was really like a fairyland, magnificent and beautiful.
Xiao Lin roughly estimated that the area covered by these peaks was at least over a hundred miles in radius, but the two cultivators named Qu did not give them the opportunity to observe the Qingdan Peak up close when they were driving the spirit boat.
Instead, when they were still dozens of miles away from the peaks, they pressed the spirit boat, passed through the clouds, and came to a fairyland with exotic flowers and plants.
Xiao Lin and others crowded to the side of Zhou Xian, looking at the scenery in front of them with surprise.
There are rows of quaint wooden houses near the foot of the nine peaks of Dancao Mountain, which are scattered and orderly, and give people the feeling that the construction of these wooden houses also implies some truths between heaven and earth.
There are many small palaces standing halfway up each mountain. Although Xiao Lin and others don’t know who lives in these small palaces, they think that ordinary outer disciples in the Qi Refining Stage are definitely not qualified to live there.
Soon, Xiao Lin and others were able to see many figures below, and what surprised Xiao Lin was that the figures who hurried to and fro between the mountains were like secular warriors, walking on leaves, and only occasionally saw a few thick escape lights flying across the sky.
As the spirit boat circled and circled to the front of Qingdan Mountain, Xiao Lin and others saw that at the foot of Qingdan Peak, a square of a hundred feet in size was built with snow-white boulders, and three palaces were built on one side and two sides of the square close to the mountain.
These palaces were built with bluestones, and the surface of the stone skin was also mottled, revealing a strong sense of vicissitudes.
The two cultivators surnamed Qu drove the spirit boat to land on the square, and at this time, Xiao Lin and others also saw that the palace on the left side of the square had three ancient seal characters "Qingxin Palace", and the right side was "Zangzhen Palace", and the most magnificent and imposing palace in the front was "Gongde Palace".
After the spirit boat landed, two outer disciples in their forties in the Qi Refining Stage were already standing on one side of the square, seemingly waiting for everyone.
After Xiao Lin and the others jumped off the spirit boat one after another, the cultivator surnamed Cao took the spirit boat, and the two outer disciples in the Qi Refining Stage also came up, first bowed to the cultivator surnamed Cao and called him "Uncle Master".
The fat-faced cultivator waved his hand and said only one sentence: "These are the disciples who received the Dao Order and joined our sect in this cave trial. I will leave them to you."
After that, he hurriedly left with the cultivator surnamed Cao.
After watching the two leave, one of the two Qi Refining Outer Sect disciples, a monk with a thick beard, looked around at Xiao Lin and the others before speaking: "I am the Outer Sect Manager responsible for receiving you this time. My surname is Lu, and you can call me Manager Lu."
"Later, I will take you to the "Qingxin Hall". The "Qingxin Hall" is mainly for handling some relevant procedures for entering the sect, and also for answering some common sense you need to know about entering the sect. Now you line up and follow me."
After saying that, the two of them took the lead and walked towards the "Qingxin Hall". Xiao Lin and the others saw that there were many people in and out of the Merit Hall on the square, but very few people went in and out of the Treasure Hall. They looked around curiously, lined up at the same time, and followed the two reception managers to the "Qingxin Hall".
After entering the "Qingxin Hall", they found that the entire hall was very empty. There were two rows of twelve gray-white stone pillars on both sides, and at the innermost of the hall were three counters, and behind these three counters, each sat a monk.
The two managers led everyone to the manager in the middle.
The monk behind the counter obviously knew that there would be disciples coming to handle the formalities today, and he had already placed a list on the counter.
He glanced at everyone before saying, "I will call out the names now."
Then the man began to take the list and read out the names one by one. After half an hour, after calling out the names, the man nodded and closed the list.
"Although you are already outer disciples of our Dancao Mountain, in the first three months of joining the sect, the sect will verify your origins. If you have an improper origin or are related to some evil ways on the sect's blacklist, not only will your qualification for joining the sect be revoked, but you will also be severely punished."
After a pause, the man continued, "After joining the sect, you will be considered outer disciples of our Dancao Mountain. According to the rules, you must leave your life-defining lamp in the sect, but don't worry, this life-defining lamp will not have any effect on you. . "
"You just need to input a trace of spiritual consciousness into the natal lamp, mainly to let the sect know your life and death. This natal lamp will not restrict you, and it is very different from the natal tablets that control the life and death of cultivators. "
"Okay, now everyone line up to the left and light the natal lamps one by one. "
Xiao Lin is still very confident about his origins. His ancestors for three generations are all honest hunters. They can be said to be of good family background. Naturally, he is not worried about the sect's inspection, but he has some doubts about this natal lamp.
However, he saw that many other people had indifferent expressions on their faces, and gradually put down his worries. He knew when he was wandering in the fairy city before that once the sect disciples were killed, the sect would know immediately.
Although revenge is another matter, it is very basic for the sect to have a grasp of the life and death of the sect disciples. I think this natal lamp plays a similar role.
Soon it was Xiao Lin's turn. The monk behind the counter took out a small copper lamp about an inch long, and then looked at Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin immediately radiated his spiritual consciousness, condensed it into a line, and shot it into the wick of the copper lamp.
The wick of the copper lamp suddenly "popped" and lit up a ball of light blue spiritual flame. Although the spiritual flame was weak, only the size of the tip of the ring finger, it looked as stable as Mount Tai, and was not affected by the airflow at all, which looked quite magical.
The monk behind the counter saw the spiritual flame lit, and put the copper lamp into a row of grid cabinets behind him with an expressionless face, and then waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Lin could leave.
After everyone lit their own spiritual flames, the steward who brought them here said, "Okay, the sect will send people to conduct the subsequent verification automatically. Naturally, we will not notify you if there is no problem. Now follow me to the Treasure Hall."
