Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 62: Select

Izumo Mountain.

This is a mountainous area located in the central part of Wenxin Country. The entire mountainous area covers an area of ​​about 100,000 square kilometers and has thousands of large and small peaks. The highest one is the main peak of Izumo Mountain, Zhaixing Peak.

Zhaixingfeng is located in the eastern part of Izumo Mountain. The peak is 6,800 meters high. The top of the mountain was originally covered with snow all year round, and there was only one pool, called Yingyue Lake.

It is said that Master Shuiyue attained enlightenment here, broke through the realm and ascended to heaven, leaving behind classics to be passed on to future generations, and subsequently became the Xiyue Sect.

Now this peak has become the main peak of the Xiyue Sect. Under the influence of the large formation, the ice and snow have melted, and the four seasons are like spring. It is surrounded by white clouds, and the ice and snow reflect each other in the distance, creating a beautiful scene.

Outside the Star-Zhaing Peak, there are nineteen peaks surrounding it. This is the famous Nineteen-Star Peak, where Nineteen Tiankui is located. Between Star Picking Peak and Nineteen Star Peak, there are also some low hills. One of them is particularly conspicuous. The walls of the peak are smooth and there is no place to climb. The higher you go up, the sharper it becomes, like a stick piercing the sky. The sword stands on the earth, this is the Divine Sword Peak.

To be precise, this is a mountain peak made of a sword - the Tianxuan Destroying Divine Sword.

Beyond the Nineteen Star Peak, there are more than 300 peaks surrounding it. This is the main peak group, and it is also where most of the disciples of the Xiyue Sect are located.

There is also a large mountainous area on the west side of the main peak group, which is a natural area.

The natural area is not a residential area, but a hunting area. There are a large number of monsters in it, which exist in the form of free rein. Compared with the monsters that the students had experienced back then, the monsters here are much more powerful. It is said that there are many monsters that have transformed into monsters, and even those that are distracted or above may exist.

These monsters were specially left by the Xiyue Sect to train their descendants. At the same time, they were also treated as grazing areas and harvested every year. If Xiyuedongtian is the private land of the family, then Izumo Natural Area is a place for grazing. Although it is not as stable as Xiyuedongtian, surprises often happen.

Of course, those monsters also crave for cultivators. When cultivators come to hunt, they themselves are also hunted by monsters. Everyone hunts each other and gets what they need, which makes some cultivators die in vain every year. .

However, this is the path of cultivating Taoism. Even in this era of great rule, it is inevitable to indulge in some acts of indulging in enemies and causing misfortune in order to motivate oneself to make continuous progress.

In fact, to a certain extent, the difference between great rule and great chaos is that the former can control those cruel and dark things within a limited range, while the latter is completely out of control.

Tang Jie and others flew all the way towards the main peak group under the leadership of four disciples. Along the way, Wei Tianchong and Qi Shaoming were among the few who gave them pointers. Because of their true heritage, these two people knew their way around Izumo Mountain. Liu Hongyan, on the other hand, had only reserved a true inheritance and had not yet had the opportunity to formally become a disciple, so she was not familiar with the Xiyue Sect headquarters either.

"Ahead is the Yingke Peak. This is the east gate of the Xiyue Sect, and it is also the place where new disciples stay. It is responsible for reception." Wei Tianchong pointed to a small peak in the main peak group and said: " It will be decided there where we will go."

"Where to go?" Shi Meng asked.

"Yes." Wei Tianchong nodded: "It's just the distribution hall. I'll let the young master explain this. The young master's teacher Hongyang Zhenren is the master of the auditorium. He knows the rules within the Xiyue Sect best. Yingke Peak is He is in charge of the auditorium. He knows this better than I do. When we arrive at Yingke Peak in a while, he will be the young master of that peak, so everyone needs to flatter him."

Qi Shaoming gave Wei Tianchong a shout: "You are the only one who talks a lot."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Qi Shaoming was not polite and explained to everyone immediately.

Being a member of Xiyue Sect does not mean that you can practice peacefully every day. Every cultivator should have his or her own position, tasks and responsibilities that need to be completed. Xiyue Sect has sixteen internal and external halls, and numerous external branches, each with its own responsibilities.

For this reason, the first thing new disciples have to do is to choose a hall.

"Doesn't it mean that everyone is busy with the secular world every day and has no time to practice?" Shi Meng asked. He is most worried about not having time to practice. If he joins the Xiyue Sect and is still busy with mundane chores every day and doesn't even have time to practice, what's the point?

"How is that possible?" Qi Shaoming said with a smile: "Actually, no matter whether we are new or old disciples, everyone is very free and relaxed. The choice is up to you."

Under his narration, everyone gradually understood.

It turns out that in order to balance trivial matters and cultivation, the Xiyue Sect adopted the well-known contribution system.

The supply and demand within the faction are met, and living expenses are based on contributions, supplemented by spiritual money, and the tasks under each hall are the channels for obtaining contributions. For this reason, except for the disciples on duty, other disciples can make contributions by accepting tasks in the hall, as long as they can ensure their survival within the sect.

The mission mode of Xiyue Academy is a copy of the Xiyue Sect model, and it also allows everyone to adapt in advance.

Based on the strength of a Xiyue disciple, he usually only needs to perform the sect's mission for one month, and the contribution he receives is enough to cover his needs for a year.

In other words, you will work for a month and practice freely for the rest of the time.

Why not enjoy such a good job?

"So that's it." After hearing Qi Shaoming's explanation, everyone felt more relieved.

From its core, the Xiyue Sect is a society where people are obsessed with things. There are more than 100,000 masters and disciples in the sect. Among them, there are about 90,000 disciples and about 10,000 inner disciples. With such a huge manpower and abilities beyond ordinary people, they handle very few affairs. The extra time is used for practicing and playing. Even a so-called month's work is just a matter of going to a certain place to solve a difficult problem or battle. In terms of working hours, it may not even last a day.

However, it is precisely because of this that practitioners can accept this kind of life. Otherwise, if they have to work hard to climb up, only to work around, who can be willing to do so?

The cultivators rely on force and absorb the blood of people in the world to enrich themselves. The Xiyue Sect alone spends countless manpower and material resources to support it in order to achieve its current scale.

Don't think that cultivators really make money through their own work. Just the spiritual money they receive every month after becoming a formal disciple far exceeds what they pay. The reason why all cultivators are required to do something is mainly to restrain the casual temperament of cultivators and make them accustomed to obeying the orders of the Xiyue Sect. Otherwise, there will be no organization at all, and it will be useless to have a sect airs.

This is the meaning of contribution. There are many things in Xiyue Sect that cannot be bought with spiritual money alone, but can only be obtained through contribution. This prevents some Xiyue disciples from using spiritual money as a substitute for their contribution to free themselves from hard labor - the Xiyue Sect needs strong men who are willing to practice hard, but they will never need strong men who are indifferent to worldly affairs.

At this moment, after listening to Qi Shaoming’s introduction, everyone understood.

Someone remembered something and shouted: "Huh? The last time I remembered the Shimen Sect, didn't you get a thousand contributions from Tang Jie? Doesn't that mean that you don't have to do anything for the next year? Already?"

Qi Shaoming smiled and said: "You just understand? It's not one year, it's five years! If Tang Jie is willing to save a little, one thousand points of contribution can be used for six or seven years."

"This contribution is so valuable?" Everyone was surprised.

"Then it depends on how you spend it." It was Wei Tianchong who answered this time: "If you just find a cave and just go into it, then the lowest cave only requires a monthly contribution of ten points. There is no need for servants, and it is enough to go down the mountain and buy all the expenses yourself. But if you want to keep improving, go up to the next floor, or enjoy the various styles in the Xiaoyao sect, then even ten thousand points may not be enough."

With Wei Tianchong’s introduction, everyone realized that many things in the Xiyue Sect of feelings are related to contribution.

Want to learn new spells? Okay, bring the contribution. As long as you have enough contributions, you can also read the Shenxiao Sword Codex.

Want to live in a cave full of spiritual energy? Okay, bring the contribution. The entire Izumo Mountain area is surrounded by a large formation, which controls not only the risk, but also the distribution of spiritual energy. Different caves even have different auras, divided into five levels. The lowest level has a monthly contribution of ten points, followed by fifty, one hundred, two hundred and five hundred points. If you are willing to make a contribution of 3,000 points, you can live in the Thousand-Year Cave of the Xiyue Sect for a month.

If you want to listen to live lectures and teach skills, you have to contribute; if you want to go to various secret places in the sect, you have to contribute; even if you want to find a spiritual field in Xiyue Sect to farm your own land, you have to contribute.

The Moonwashing Sect is very big, and the Moonwashing Sect is very rich, but if you want to get anything or any service here, you almost have to contribute.

If Tang Jie's one thousand points were used sparingly, it would be fine for just a few years. If he wanted to live a more unrestrained life, it would be very easy to spend them all within a few days.

Listening to this introduction, all the disciples also looked at each other.

At this time, Yingke Peak was already in sight. Qi Shaoming said: "Okay, let's stop chatting. Don't talk nonsense when you get to the ground. The people sent by each church have arrived. According to the regulations of the Xiyue Sect, the disciples You cannot freely choose the entrance to the hall. The disciples in the auditorium will hand it over. Whoever is called at the time will follow. Remember, no matter whether you want to go to that hall or not, you are not allowed to make comments. When a new member joins the sect, it is most important to be familiar with the situation. ."

"Yes!" Everyone responded solemnly at the same time.

While talking, we have reached the guest peak.

The first thing you see on the peak is a magnificent palace.

In front of the palace is a square paved with bluestone slabs, surrounded by carved balustrades and jade inlays. Outside are green pines and cypresses, and cranes are flying in the sky.

On both sides of the square are dozens of disciples wearing moon-white robes of the Moon Purifier Sect standing in awe. They are disciples of the auditorium. It sounds like the auditorium is just a ceremonial part, but it is also responsible for internal order. The latter greatly increases the authority of the disciples in the auditorium. They are like the picket disciples in Xiyue Academy. They have the right to punish or even arrest any disciples who exceed the rules and regulations.

There are still some people standing in the center of the square. They are the governors of each church. They are responsible for selecting people from these new disciples and introducing them to the entrance of the church. If we can get one or two talented people with outstanding qualifications, we can further strengthen our reputation.

Internal competition has always been universal.

When Tang Jie arrived, the first person he greeted was a fat man in white robes. Without looking at the crowd, he bowed to Qi Shaoming first and then said, "Zhou Jinghai has met Mr. Qi and met all the students."

Qi Shaoming said coldly: "Zhou Jinghai, the rule of Xiyue is to respect first and then humble. Why don't you meet the four senior brothers Xuan first and see me first? In terms of seniority, the four senior brothers Xuan should be the first ones. First! As the director of the auditorium, you actually make such a mistake?"

Zhou Jinghai's expression changed and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it was my fault, four senior brothers, please don't blame me."

Qi Shaoming is not like Wei Tianchong. He has been practicing with Li Hongyang for many years. He is talented and willing to endure hardship, and is deeply loved by Li Hongyang. Because of this, even if his new disciple joins the sect, Zhou Jinghai, a subordinate in the auditorium, is always trying to flatter him. It's a pity that he didn't flatter him well. Li Hongyang valued courtesy and Qi Shaoming was also extremely self-disciplined. How could he allow people in the auditorium to make such mistakes? That was simply giving someone a thumbs up. Zhou Jinghai slapped the horse on the foot and was filled with regret.

The leader of the disciples who chose the hall had already smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, our responsibility of guiding and recommending has been completed. Next, we will ask Brother Zhou to take them to each hall."

"You're welcome." Zhou Jinghai replied hurriedly and solemnly.

This time he won’t make any mistakes again. He looked calm and said loudly: "All the disciples listen to the order and stand in a long queue. When you hear the registration, get out of the queue. The rest of the people follow me!"

A large row of students have lined up, waiting to be selected by each hall.

Tang Jie and others followed Zhou Jinghai and walked into the hall. There were still more than ten people sitting in the hall, but it was not as orderly as outside. Instead, they seemed much more relaxed and casual. When they saw Tang Jie and others coming in, they all frowned. The first smile.

Introducing everyone inside, Zhou Jinghai already said: "You are all the sweet sons of heaven who came out of this Xiyue Academy. After entering, you will directly become the official disciples of the inner sect, so you can freely choose which hall to enter. But enter After that, you can’t change your family easily, so you should make your choice carefully. These are the heads of each hall. If you have any questions about each hall or have anything to ask, you can ask the heads. Let me introduce to you, this This is Kutang Shanxin, this is Blood War Hall Zhou Qiong, this is Shangtang Yue Chen, this is Diantang Su Yang..."

As he spoke, he introduced everyone in the hall one by one.

There were fourteen people who followed Zhou Jinghai in, ten of them were top ten, and the remaining four were Tang Jie, Wei Tianchong, Qi Shaoming and Liu Hongyan.

Eighteen halls and fourteen students are destined to have a lot of monks and few students. Because of this, unlike the cold voices outside calling out names, the directors of these eighteen branches are all different. They greeted each other with smiles and introduced the various benefits of this hall to the students.

You don’t know if you don’t tell me, but this is really eye-opening.

There are eight inner and outer halls of the Xiyue Sect, each of which has its own splendor. Regardless of anything else, just speaking of the auditorium, outsiders who are ignorant would think that they are just a ceremonial hall. Who would have thought that they also play the role of picket and have great authority. In the same way, others think that the inner halls such as Xiangku, Nong, Zhen, and Medicine are Qingshui Yamen, but they don't know that each hall also has its own benefits. Apart from anything else, the people near the water get the moon first, and many things have to be handled by them.

It can be said that the Outer Badang gets benefits from outside, while the Inner Badang gets benefits from its own people. In short, each has its own way.

Of course, these words cannot be stated explicitly, but there are always various hints. Anyway, the implication is that you will not suffer a loss.

For example, Nakutang Shanxin smiled and said: "People only know that Kutang is the treasury of the world, but they don't know that in addition to treasury, there are also grain warehouses, medicine warehouses, utensil warehouses and other important warehouses. Some things are stored in After a long time, it will inevitably be damaged, and if it is no longer usable, it must be discarded. But in fact, it may not be completely useless, and it would be a pity to throw it away. This is why disciples from all walks of life need to strictly control it."

His words clearly meant that disciples needed to strictly control the situation, but he also meant that there were benefits to be gained from it. Moreover, the Treasury is responsible for the most important treasury in the world. It can be said that all kinds of resources are available. You can just keep the treasury for whatever resources you want. The work is also leisurely. If you work for one month every year, you will receive a fixed contribution. A considerable part of the discarded inventory that month will be returned to the disciples.

The same situation exists in other halls, and even the war department halls such as Pioneer Hall and Bloody Battle Hall also have their own benefits.

The Blood War Hall Zhou Qiong said: "There are always monsters in the surrounding mountainous areas. My Blood War Hall is affiliated to the war department and is the main combat force. I cannot be idle all day. When there is no war, I need to find those monsters to fight. In a war, the consumption will be high, and logistical supplies will be required. In addition, there will be no benefits on the battlefield."

After all, he is from the War Department, and he speaks more directly. Let me tell you directly, joining my war department can form the maximum number of groups to clear out the monsters in the mountainous area. Although the risk is a bit higher, the benefits are also many. There will be logistical support at the end, and there will be monster benefits if you win, which is equivalent to a double harvest.

All the disciples looked at each other in shock.

In fact, in their minds, the Xiyue Sect should be a place of immortality. Everyone who joins the sect is like their own family. They take on tasks every day when they have something to do, practice when they have nothing to do, and live a free and easy life.

I never imagined that I would be like this now, even entering the hall would have to argue. Looking at the group of people in front of me, it seemed that they were regarded as prey, and everyone was fighting for it.

When he was at a loss, Qi Shaoming smiled and said: "If you can't decide, I will make a decision first to set an example. My master, Li Hongyang, is the leader of the auditorium. Even though I am not a talented disciple, I can't If you go elsewhere, just stay in the auditorium."

As he said that, he stood next to Zhou Jinghai.

Liu Hongyan responded: "Master Yuliu has decided to accept me as his disciple, so I should go to the Law Hall."

As he spoke, he went to Governor Na Lutang’s side.

Wei Tianchong scratched his head and said: "My master is the opposite. He said that it is difficult to grow by relying on big trees. He asked me to choose a church by myself, but it must be Waiba Hall. Only here there is an opportunity to fight with the outside world. And you can choose any one, but you can’t choose the altar.”

Everyone was speechless. Sure enough, favored disciples were treated differently from those who were not favored.

However, for a disciple like Wei Tianchong, he should be trained outside.

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Tianchong said: "I choose Fengtang."

Three people have already chosen, and the remaining disciples are no longer polite and choose their own disciples one after another.

Cai Junyang chose the Pioneer Hall. The Pioneer Hall is one of the three halls of the war department, and it is also the most dangerous war hall. As a pioneer, he rushes to the front in every battle, so it is also the hall with the most monthly visitors. With his temperament, he will do This choice is not surprising, and only in this place can he play the role that Tang Jie gave him to overcome all difficulties.

Li Yunfan, an outstanding student of Xiyue College in the same period, chose the Gongtang Hall, which is also a hall with more battles, but with greater freedom.

Yu Hengwei, a student famous for his strong defense in the college, went to the election hall.

Soon, the elite students of this phase of Xiyue Academy all chose their destinations, and in the end, only Tang Jie stayed.

As the most famous student of Xiyue Academy~IndoMTL.com~ who was recommended by Ming Yekong, everyone is concerned about his movements.

Zhou Qiong of the Blood Battle Hall could no longer hold back and shouted: "Tang Jie, come into my Blood Battle Hall, I will give you a small team and grant you the right to hunt freely in Izumo Mountain!"

Newcomers are made captain when they come up, which is a very rare treatment.

A person next to him already said: "I heard that Tang Jie's formation skills are very good. You should join our formation hall to study the formation methods carefully. Tang Jie should not underestimate this hall. The research on formation methods consumes a lot of resources. Only our formation hall can do it." Available."

"It's better to enter my medicine hall. If you have resources, you will have realm, and if you have realm, you will have everything!" An old man with a white beard shouted. It's rare that no one dares to contradict him when he talks. There is no way, Yaotang has most of the top elixirs in Wen Xin's country, if you offend him, you won't be able to get along in the future.

At this moment when everyone was talking divergently, Tang Jie suddenly smiled and said, "I accept your good intentions. But I have already made up my mind on this matter. I choose..."

Everyone watches Tang Jie together.

"Secret Hall!"
