Chapter 740: Bait
"I didn't expect that Shisan Niang is actually a disciple of Zhizhen Sect. I am so disrespectful!" Chen Changsheng bowed to Shisan Niang.
"Fellow Daoist Pan, I am just an ordinary inner disciple of Zhizhen Sect, not a disciple!" Shisan Niang shook her head directly.
There are countless masters in Zhizhen Sect, and the sect rules are strict. It is relatively easy to be promoted from an ordinary disciple to an inner disciple. You only need to advance to the foundation-building stage!
However, it is not so easy to go from an inner disciple to a core disciple. It requires assessment and accumulation of contributions, even for Jindan cultivators!
Of course, if you are lucky enough to be able to worship under the command of a Yuanying elder, you can directly enter the level of core disciples.
Only when you enter the core disciple level, you are eligible to apply for the assistance of infant spirit objects when you form an infant, of course, you need to pay a certain fee.
Above that, there are direct disciples, which is even more amazing. Ordinary Yuanying elders' disciples are not counted. Only those with outstanding talents and some top-ranked elders are eligible.
Disciples who are taught by their parents are treated better. They can apply for infant-forming spiritual objects within a certain value range for free without having to pay any spiritual stones. If they apply for too many, they will have to bear part of the cost themselves...
As for disciples who are taught by their parents, they are disciples of the next level!
This level is even better. They are often the saints of the sect, or the direct disciples of the sect master and the elders. Only those with excellent talents and qualifications can be qualified. As for the benefits... the standard infant-forming pill is provided, and no fees are required...
For example, Li Yuanyuan is treated this way in the Shura Demon Sect...
Even in the top sects, the number of true disciples is very small, usually only three or five...
Although Shisan Niang is a Jindan, she has not been able to become a disciple of the Yuanying elder. Her contribution to the sect is not enough, and her qualifications are not outstanding among Jindan cultivators, so she is still only an inner disciple...
"Shisan Niang is a Jindan cultivator, but she is still only an inner disciple. If she were in an ordinary sect, she would have to be called an elder!" Ma Huai laodao sighed.
"After all, Zhizhen Sect is one of the ten great righteous sects. It sits in the southern border and intimidates the monsters in the mountains. It is admirable!" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
"Well, what Brother Pan said is right. It's a pity that the threshold for the guest official of Zhizhen Sect is too high..." Gentleman Sword Yue Qun said regretfully.
Normally, it is very simple for Jindan-level cultivators to join the sect. Even Yuanying sects like to accept these Jindan cultivators as guests.
As for the Zhizhen Sect, the standard for accepting guests is Yuanying cultivators. Even if Yue Qun wanted to join, it would be impossible...
"Just now, Fellow Daoist Qin said that the Lord of Tianshui City is very popular in the Zhizhen Sect. Did he do something big?" Chen Changsheng led the topic to the Lord of Tianshui City...
"I also heard from my wife that after entering the sect, the Lord of Tianshui City defeated the seven guests of Zhizhen Sect and even provoked the Thirteen Elders. As a result, the two sides fought a big battle and there was no winner..."
"The strength of the Lord of Tianshui City is really terrifying. Now he has become the third-ranked worshiper of Zhizhen Sect!" Qin Shisan said.
Worshiper!
He is also a guest, but his status is higher than that of ordinary guests, and is equal to those elders who are ranked higher.
"Well, the second elder admires the strength of the Lord of Tianshui City very much, and even let him lead the team to kill the ancient true demon that has already fled!"
"I don't know what the second elder is thinking. There are countless masters in the Zhizhen Sect, but he actually let an outsider take charge of this matter!" Shisan Niang shook her head.
"Shisan Niang!" Qin Shisan instantly glared at his Taoist partner...
Second elder, can you slander him at will?
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, all the Taoist friends here are like-minded friends, no one will say anything!" Ma Huai Laodao laughed.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these things, let's talk about this strange phenomenon. There is news that this strange phenomenon is a catastrophe. It is said that the chaos of the demon clan ten thousand years ago was caused by this!" Yue Qun said.
"Well, I've heard about it. A few days ago, I discussed it with the leader of Liusha Sect. Although Liusha has declined, it has a long history. The leader of Liusha Sect said that there are accurate records in the sect's classics that there was also this celestial phenomenon during the demon calamity ten thousand years ago!" Ma Huai nodded.
"Who cares about the demon calamity or not? We are all demon hunters. Are we afraid of the demon calamity?" Meng Long sneered.
"You guys, your head is full of muscle lumps. Can the demon calamity and demon hunting be the same thing?" Shisan Niang shook her head.
Born in the Zhizhen Sect, although she does not have a high status in the sect, she is a Jindan cultivator after all, so she can still get a lot of information...
"If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. Instead of worrying about these, you might as well think about how to hunt more third-level monsters..."
"Hehe, there is news that a batch of infant spirits have arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and they will be released at the auction in a year. This year, I'm afraid many monster hunters are trying their best to kill more third-level monsters!" Ma Huai said.
Third-level monsters are worth a lot of money. Whether it's skin, meat, bones, or pills, they can all be sold at a high price...
"Everyone, I found a nest of purple-striped black bears over at Tianxiong Mountain, two big and one small, a total of three..."
Afterwards, several people began to discuss the matter of hunting monsters, and Chen Changsheng listened at the side, occasionally interrupting a few words...
Just thinking about one thing in his heart...
Before, he and Ying Tianqing had informed Ouyang Xiong and Ximen Wuhen about the extermination of the ancient true demon, but why did Zhizhen Sect seem to be unaware that the ancient true demon had disappeared?
That day, the Lord of Tianshui City took the lead in exterminating the demon...
In an instant, a plan gradually formed in Chen Changsheng's mind...
In the following days, Chen Changsheng comprehended the skills while talking with those Jindan cultivators.
Many people invited him to hunt monsters, but Chen Changsheng refused all of them. However, he really liked chatting with those monster hunters...
Until three months later...
"Have you heard? The ancient true demon that escaped from the Huangtian Secret Realm actually ran to the Shiwan Mountains..."
"Yes, I heard that several teams of Jindan-level monster hunters were wiped out and all were sucked into mummies!"
"Not only the monster hunters, but also those third-level monsters, many of them were sucked into mummies. I was lucky and picked up a human-faced bear. Hehe, although it became a mummified corpse, the meat can't be eaten, but the bones and skin are still there, straight I received a small fortune..."
"Daoyou are so lucky, why didn't I pick up a level 3 monster that was sucked into a mummified corpse..."
"Haha, when luck comes, it can't be stopped..."
Similar conversations began to appear in the city, and among the monster hunters who went out, there were occasionally monster hunters who couldn't come back, and they were all said to have been killed by the ancient true demon...
In fact, monster hunters are dangerous jobs, and it is normal for some people not to come back...
Some people did pick up the mummified corpses of level 3 monsters...
So, the rumor about the ancient true demon spread more and more in the market...
