116. The Taoist Method of Taking the Morning Glow From the Purple Magpie Valley (Part 1)

……

……

When they were about a thousand miles away from Feiyu Fairy Palace, Shui Hongyao, the guiding fairy, ordered the blue Luan bird monster to land in a remote mountain, and then handed Xu Xing a jade slip with the location of the sect, and then flew away alone, leaving Xu Xing alone.

"According to the sect's practice, if you are released to the foot of the sect's mountain, you will not be able to deceive the sentries of the aristocratic families..."

"After you embark on the immortal road, someone will arrange your identity for you. On the surface, you are an outer disciple, but your identity token contains the sect's prepared true teachings."

"The immortal road is long, take care, fellow Taoist..."

Before leaving, Shui Hongyao gave Xu Xing a few more words of advice.

As he watched the blue Luan figure gradually disappear into the sky, Xu Xing felt a little more melancholy and empty in his heart. Although the reputation of clinging to the powerful is not good, it can save him many years of detours.

And relying on himself alone, the last time he had no background and was thrown into prison was the best proof.

"Immortal fate..."

"I already have the immortal fate of the Ten Cities [Dragon-Subduing Son of Heaven]. Immortal fate is immortal luck. Logically speaking, it should not be worse than the start in the mortal world."

Soon, Xu Xing strengthened his belief.

He took out the jade slip that Shui Hongyao had just handed over, carefully identified the direction, and then encouraged the innate true energy in his body, and rushed to the location of the Immortal Palace with all his strength.

The best famous horse can travel a thousand miles a day.

The warriors of the innate realm are even better than famous horses when they are at full strength.

At about noon, Xu Xing arrived at Feiyu Immortal Palace. He stood at the foot of the sect mountain and saw the white jade immortal road that was winding up to the immortal palace in the air, like the waterfall waves hanging from the white clouds when the Taimang exhaled, and other sect immortal scenes. He suddenly felt a sense of the vastness of the world and that he was just like an ant...

Shaking his head, he stopped his inner thoughts and began to climb the immortal road.

This immortal road is winding, and there are no profound prohibitions on it. According to Shui Hongyao, the jade bricks paved on the immortal road are all Xuanyuan magic bricks, which can help the lower-level cultivators to temper their magic power. Especially for these innate warriors, taking this immortal road is very beneficial to refining their foundation.

The long immortal road is more than a thousand feet long.

When Xu Xing walked to the end, his innate true essence was indeed condensed by more than half.

He already has the realm of immortal foundation, and once it is proved, it will be proved forever. What he lacks is to forge the immortal foundation again in the real world. Therefore, his innate true essence is more condensed than that of warriors at the same level.

If an ordinary innate warrior takes this journey, it is estimated that his innate true essence will be condensed by more than 50%.

Just as he was about to enter the gate of the immortal palace and register at the Lushi Pavilion.

Suddenly, a phoenix bird sang.

A young man in a flowing black robe jumped down from the phoenix bird. He had no beard under his chin, a handsome face, and a purple jade hairpin in his hair, dressed like a nobleman.

"Zhou Shengcang from Xianglin County of Lanyue Country has the body of the sea and moon, born with innate nature, and can be listed as a candidate for the true teaching.

The guiding fairy messenger on the phoenix took out the jade sceptre from his sleeve and recited the origin of the young man.

In less than an instant.

Hundreds of escape lights surged into the mountain gate.

"The Chen family, a prestigious family of Baoxiang, is willing to allow Junior Brother Zhou to marry the third daughter of the family, with a red rope tied around their feet, so that they can climb the immortal path together. Junior Brother Zhou will need the cultivation resources below the Dan-returning stage, and the Chen family is willing to bear all of it. ”

“The He family, a prominent family in Jiuhu, is willing to marry the concubine daughter of the first house in the family of Junior Brother Zhou…”

“The Zhao family, a prominent family in Anyi, is willing to marry the legitimate daughter of the seventh house in the family of Junior Brother Zhou…”

“…”

The heads of the prominent families announced loudly to Zhou Mingcang the prices offered by their families.

The lively scene in front of the Immortal Palace also attracted many disciples of the Immortal Sect to stop.

They commented on which prominent family offered high conditions and which offered low conditions.

“The one who offered the highest conditions here is the He family in Jiuhu.”

“The concubine daughter of the first house is also higher than the legitimate daughters of other houses. The first house is the house of the patriarch. However, the He family is now in decline. Since the death of Chongyuan Daojun seven hundred years ago, there is no Daojun in the family. If the He family had not been included in the golden book of the family genealogy, they could have enjoyed the benefits for another thousand years..."

When a disciple of the immortal sect said this, he saw that the head of the He family had a bad look on his face, so he closed his mouth in dismay and did not speak again.

Even though the Jiuhu He family had declined, it was not something that he, an inner sect disciple, could afford to offend.

It was okay to say a few words, but if he said more and affected the He family's major events, he would be an enemy of the He family.

Every time the palace gate selected a son-in-law, it was a grand event for the noble families.

Among them, the noble families would only offer the conditions written in the marriage certificate before they set out, and would not raise the price after arriving, to avoid offending other noble families and losses. The power of his own family lineage has been taken advantage of by outsiders.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Mingcang is not good at seeing, the chance of choosing Jiuhu He family is still not small.

However, this is also uncertain.

Although Jiuhu He family is not as good as other prominent families, there is a shortage of talents in the family now, and there is a danger that they will lose their family lineage and be erased from the family genealogy in another three hundred years. They may spend a higher price to train their sons-in-law, hoping that one of them can reach the realm of Yuanying Daojun and continue the glory of Jiuhu He family...

"Only thirty-six prominent families came, but no five palaces or nine mountain giants..."

"It seems that Zhou Mingcang's sea moon body is just average."

Several immortal disciples whispered.

There are also levels among the sects and aristocratic families.

The first class is the surname of the five halls. These five families have existed since the establishment of the mountain gate of Feiyu Fairy Palace, and they are in charge of the power of the five halls of the sect. Each of these five halls is equivalent to three provinces of the three provinces and six departments of the mortal world, and they are all powerful institutions...

The Nine Mountain Giants and the Thirty-Six Prominent Families are the second and third class of the families respectively.

Of course, this number is just a virtual reference, and there are actually more families than this.

"Haiyue body, one is born every 150 years..."

"It can't be called a good physique, but it can lead the moonlight to cleanse the body in the realm of immortal foundation, and it can add some confidence in the realm of Huandan and Daodan."

Someone commented.

According to convention, the rarer the physique, the harder it is to be born. According to the records of the sect's classics, Haiyue body will give birth to someone under its rule every 150 years. And the physiques born by other innate bodies are almost the same. It's just that the years are more or less.

…

“It seems…”

“This Zhou Mingcang made the second choice.”

“He chose to join the aristocratic family.”

Xu Xing, who was standing aside, said nothing and thought silently.

If nothing unexpected happened to him, there would be two choices for entering the immortal gate. It should be the pressure from the aristocratic family on the sect. The system of conscription, the system of selecting filial and honest officials, and the imperial examination system in all dynasties were like this. Once implemented for a period of time, the aristocratic families would inevitably get involved and interfere with it.

It can be regarded as the seizure of power from the source of the sect, directly monopolizing talents.

And the master-disciple lineage is equivalent to a cold stove.

It is useless for those with low qualifications to burn this cold stove. Others don’t even care about it. But those with high qualifications can help the master-disciple lineage regain power. And it just so happens that…, he is one of the people with high qualifications.

“Perhaps, I have now entered the eyes of the sect’s top leaders.”

Xu Xing smiled to himself.

…

“Masters…”

“I heard that the Purple Magpie Valley will be open this year. How about choosing a relative after exploring the Purple Magpie Valley?”

Zhou Mingcang, standing on the steps of the Immortal Palace, also had some considerations.

He had already heard the family level mentioned by the guide fairy on the back of the phoenix. Seeing that he had not successfully attracted the five palaces and the nine mountain families, but only attracted thirty-six prominent families, he felt disappointed.

But the Purple Magpie Valley was his chance.

As long as he performed well in the Purple Magpie Valley and obtained the opportunity of “Purple Magpie Morning Glow”, he would surely be able to raise his status a little, and maybe he would be noticed by the nine mountain families.

The first level of clouds and mist in the nine-layer immortal foundation realm.

After entering the realm of immortal foundation, one must start to “condense clouds and mist”. After reaching this realm, one can ride on clouds and mist, eat wind and drink dew, just like the legends of immortals in ancient books.

Cultivators in the realm of immortal foundation can condense clouds and mist with their own magic power. However, this kind of clouds are generally of low quality, and can only produce three rays of light at most.

But by combining external forces with one's own magic power to condense the clouds, it can produce up to nine rays of light.

The morning glow in Zi Que Valley is a first-class spiritual object among the "condensed clouds".

It is also an opportunity given to Han Su disciples by Fei Yu Xian Palace.

This kind of opportunity for Han Su disciples is available in all realms of the bottom. It's just that it is rare, and only Han Su disciples can have a chance to fight for it. It is considered the last chance for Han Su disciples to climb the immortal road...

Zhou Mingcang is confident that the innate martial arts he has practiced the longest in the mortal world is body skills.

At the same time, with the help of Haiyue body, his footwork is unique. Even if he can't beat all the immortal talents of his generation. But Zi Que Valley opens once every thirty years, and in these thirty years, his Haiyue body is considered a precious physique.

And Zi Que Valley, sect disciples only have one qualification to enter the valley.

Moreover, it is limited to outer disciples who have just joined the immortal gate.

"Yes..."

As the Immortal Envoy nodded, the heads of the various prominent families left one by one.

Silence returned to the gate of the Immortal Palace.

"Zhou Mingcang, I will send you here."

"You refused the opportunity to 'choose a son-in-law from the palace' this time. Next time, if you fail in Zijue Valley, the prominent family that comes to you will only be below the thirty-six prominent families. This is the rule of the sect..."

The Immortal Envoy glanced at Zhou Mingcang standing on the ground indifferently, and said.

Even if the aristocratic family is short of immortal talents, this is not the capital for some immortal talents to be sold at a price. The aristocratic family should not be insulted lightly. This is a way for the aristocratic family to maintain its reputation. No one will rashly break this rule. Because once it is broken, the price paid is immeasurable.

"Disciple understands."

Zhou Mingcang bowed and saluted.

...

Wait for Zhou Mingcang to step into the Lushi Pavilion...

Xu Xing glanced at his back and shook his head.

He was in the dungeon world, and there was no further progress in the realm of immortal foundation, and there was no subsequent practice. So he has been practicing the two innate martial arts, "Crossing the River with a Reed" and "Flying Goose Step".

The time ratio is 1:36.

Three years in the real world is 90 years in the copy world.

Rounding it off, it is nearly a hundred years.

He has mastered these two skills to perfection. In addition, his aptitude is higher than Zhou Mingcang. In a hundred years, Zhou Mingcang looks only in his twenties or thirties. If he practices more, how can Zhou Mingcang compare with him...

"I accidentally interrupted someone else's immortal fate..."

"I feel a sense of guilt for no reason..."

Xu Xing broke the distracting thoughts in his mind, smiled, and followed him into the Lushi Pavilion.

...

...

"Place of origin, name, age, cultivation..."

In the Lushi Pavilion, a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest looked at Xu Xing. He had just registered Zhou Mingcang, the Sea Moon Body, and when he saw an ordinary disciple following behind him, he lost interest.

Zhou Mingcang had a red ribbon with a dragon jade pendant tied around his waist.

This was a sign of being in the preparation for the true teaching.

On the contrary, Xu Xing's waist was empty, and he was dressed like a scholar in a green robe.

Among those who were in the preparation for the true teaching, there were also high and low levels. The highest was the purple gold seal, the second was the green jade seal, and the lowest was the red ribbon with a dragon jade seal. If Xu Xing chose the second option, he should have the green jade seal on his waist.

"Place of origin, formerly Fengxi State, now Emperor Xu Xing of Siming State, reign title Tiande..."

"Name Xu Xing..."

"Age, twenty-eight."

"Cultivation, late Xiantian..."

Xu Xing bowed to the middle-aged Taoist priest and told him all his information.

Fengxi country has undergone a great change in the secular world, and such things cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the aristocratic families. He entered Feiyu Fairy Palace, but he could only hide it from the aristocratic families for a while, not for a lifetime. Shui Hongyao placed him thousands of miles away from the Fairy Palace, letting him climb the immortal road alone, just to keep him away from some troubles in the early stage.

There are two choices, he chose the first one, and the aristocratic families will not interfere with him openly in the future.

This is the rule of the sect.

"Secular... Emperor..."

The middle-aged Taoist priest who was registering was stunned for a moment. He looked at the green-robed scholar in front of him. His temperament seemed a little weak, his skin was fair, and his face was handsome. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was an ordinary scholar, not an emperor who could destroy a country...

"This qualification, could it be..."

The middle-aged Taoist priest took a breath.

Twenty-eight years old, in the late stage of Xiantian, this qualification is better than that of ordinary immortals. For example, Zhou Mingcang, who had the Haiyue body just now, was also thirty-four years old and reached the late stage of Xiantian.

"It must be the human king body!"

He was sure.

After learning all this information, the middle-aged Taoist priest looked at Xu Xing with a touch of intimacy. He also guessed why Xu Xing did not wear the Qingshou Jade Seal. Xu Xing's choice was most likely the first choice.

He became a member of the master-disciple system of the sect.

"This is your identity token, and there are two sets of dust-repelling robes. The cave is temporarily located in Shuiguanghaiyuan. The environment there is good. The Jiazi room..."

"After you build the immortal foundation, go to the Lushi Hall and choose another cave for you."

"Then you won't have to live with others."

The middle-aged Taoist priest handed Xu Xing a palm-sized yellow cloth bag and said.

"By the way, what method do you want to choose?"

He added.

The Lushi Pavilion is responsible for the names, duties, and Dharma names of the disciples of the immortal sect. However, the disciples who have just entered the sect do not need to go to the Tianshu Pavilion to find the method to continue practicing in the realm of immortal foundation.

As he spoke, he handed Xu Xing a book.

On this book is a list of the methods that the disciples of the sect can choose. Among them, "Evergreen Dao Sutra", "Weak Water Sutra" and so on are the most selected techniques.

Xu Xing also saw "Eight-armed Vidyaraja Sutra" on it.
