Chapter 113: Choice [Updated on 3/3]
Li Lan thought carefully for a long time.
He realized that earning spirit stones in this Jiuhua County City was both difficult and easy.
He had previously completed many incomplete spells and array diagrams.
Now, he only needed to take out one or two of them, and naturally, he wouldn't have to worry about these ancient treasures not selling, but Li Lan didn't want to, and didn't dare to do so.
This was no different from courting death.
Although these rare spells and array diagrams were extremely valuable, they were too eye-catching.
Once taken out, it would be difficult to ensure that he wouldn't be targeted by interested cultivators.
And besides this, Li Lan had no other means to make a living, so he felt a little troubled for a while.
Just as he was secretly planning what to do in the future, he happened to hear the conversation between Su Hongying and the other two.
That's why he asked this question.
Li Lan already had a plan in mind.
First, inquire about the situation of the Guangji Sect.
If it was suitable, he would join it.
After all, it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
If it wasn't suitable, it wouldn't be too late for him to consider finding other ways out.
"Since Fellow Daoist Li wants to join our sect, I think you have already understood the requirements of the three major sects?
Now, the conditions for the three major sects to recruit official disciples have indeed been relaxed a lot.
As long as the bone age is before seventeen years old and reaches the first level of Qi Refining, or breaks through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment before sixty years old."
Su Hongying stopped after speaking for a while.
From the current point of view,
even though the Guangji Sect had relaxed its requirements, Li Lan's current aptitude still didn't meet the standard.
She was waiting for Li Lan's reaction after digesting the content.
Normally, when cultivators learn that they have worked hard for half their lives, but still cannot meet the standards for recruiting disciples of the major sects,
more or less, they will show a sad mood. A very few who are not firm in their minds may even collapse and become depressed.
This is human nature.
But what surprised Su Hongying was that Li Lan didn't seem to have heard it, and there was no extra emotional fluctuation on his face.
He nodded slightly and said calmly:
"Oh, so that's how it is. Compared to the previous terrifying requirements, it is indeed much more relaxed now.
Fellow Daoist Su, please continue. What are the recruitment standards for registered disciples?
What are the benefits? How much can the monthly salary for disciples be?"
In fact, Li Lan didn't care at all about how harsh the standards of these major sects were or how much they had been lowered.
What he cared most about was the treatment.
If, after joining the Guangji Sect,
he was so busy that he couldn't even squeeze out time to cultivate, and the spirit stones he earned were not as good as when he was alone,
then even if Li Lan could meet the conditions, he would never join it.
Su Hongying glanced at him with some surprise.
To be honest, setting aside the realm of cultivation,
Li Lan's calm and composure had already made her quite impressed.
Putting herself in his shoes,
if Su Hongying had cultivated hard until the age of thirty-one, but was still rejected by the major sects,
she would definitely not be able to be so calm and collected.
"There are no particularly strict requirements for registered disciples, as long as they meet the first level of Qi Refining.
In terms of treatment, there is no difference between registered disciples and official disciples. Each month, they also receive a monthly salary of two spirit stones, and the rewards for performing sect missions are the same.
However,
registered disciples are required to perform two sect missions each year according to regulations,
they cannot privately enter the forbidden areas within the sect, and they must not arbitrarily disclose the situation within the sect. Once discovered, they will be subject to extremely severe sect rules and punishments."
After thinking for a while, Su Hongying continued:
"That's probably it.
Our sect never recruited registered disciples from the outside before. Usually, we selected the best from the families of the elders.
These are the requirements that have just been relaxed recently."
Li Lan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He understood what was going on.
What registered disciple? Isn't this just a disguised handyman?
As expected of the inner sect of the Guangji Sect, the way they exploit cultivators is exactly the same.
But after Li Lan thought for a moment,
he felt that these requirements were not too harsh for him.
Li Lan had many spirit bean soldiers at his disposal,
and he didn't have to worry about delaying his own cultivation by performing sect missions such as collecting herbs and refining pills.
What's more,
in addition to the sect mission rewards,
registered disciples can also receive two spirit stones per month.
At this thought,
Li Lan made a Daoist salute.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Su, for clarifying my doubts.
If I want to become a registered disciple, I wonder which elder is suitable to seek?"
Su Hongying didn't understand why the other party was already so old, but still wanted to join the Guangji Sect and become a registered disciple to suffer.
After considering for a moment, she glanced at Su Pengfei, who was eagerly looking at her,
and then said:
"If Fellow Daoist Li really wants to join the Guangji Sect as a registered disciple,
I can recommend you.
If Fellow Daoist Li has time now, please return to the sect with me."
"That's great! Brother Jiang Chuan, we will be neighbors in the future, and we can meet every day."
Su Pengfei's bright eyes were full of suppressed joy.
In this unfamiliar Jiuhua County City, Li Lan was the second most familiar person to him besides his older sister.
How could this not make him happy?
"Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Su."
After that,
Li Lan followed behind the other party and went to the Guangji Sect.
It is worth mentioning that the three major sects are not located in this Jiuhua County City.
Only when the Dust Washing Ceremony is held every year will the elders and disciples of the major inner sects enter the city.
The real sect of the Guangji Sect is located in the Chongshan Region in the northwest direction of the county city.
The core area of this place is located on a complete middle-grade spiritual vein.
Setting aside the effect it can improve on cultivation,
just in terms of its size,
even if the two lower-grade spiritual veins of Taoyuan Mountain Range and Xianzong Valley are added together, they are difficult to match even half of it.
On the way to the Guangji Sect,
Li Lan had a general understanding of the foundation of this one of the three major sects.
In less than half a day,
the three people had successfully arrived at the Chongshan Region.
This is a vast and mysterious area.
The scenery is magnificent and breathtaking.
The entire area stretches for hundreds of miles, with mountains connected to each other, undulating peaks, high and low,
as if a sleeping giant dragon is lying on the earth.
According to Su Hongying,
basically every mountain peak is inhabited by an inner sect elder.
And to become an inner sect elder, one must at least reach the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Looking around,
the mountain peaks are countless and continuous,
and the spiritual energy is as rich as cotton wool white clouds, shrouding the entire Chongshan Region.
Judging from a small part, it can be seen that the strength and foundation of the Guangji Sect are by no means ordinary.
On a Welcome Guest Peak,
ancient buildings are dotted among them.
Pavilions and pavilions are like heavenly palaces under the winding of spiritual energy clouds.
Many figures of immortal cultivators shuttle between the buildings.
Li Lan was in it, bored and looking around.
After Su Hongying brought the servant here,
she left to report to her master.
