"Tiange, you're really lucky."
Luo Fengxue was half-envious and half-joking. She looked at the sky and sighed. "Grandmaster's registered disciple! Why can't I be this lucky?!"
Mo Tiange just smiled without showing any joy. "Aren't I the same as you now?
I'll have to ask Senior Martial Sister Luo to take care of me in the future. "
Martial Uncle Xuanyin said she'd be with Senior Martial Sister Luo in the future, so she'd have to take care of Senior Martial Sister Luo, who was very popular and capable.
Luo Fengxue just said it casually, so she didn't take it seriously. She smiled and said, "Of course. You'll become my martial uncle in the future, so of course I have to take advantage of this opportunity to please you!"
The two of them chatted for a while before Luo Fengxue took her to settle down.
Cultivation group disciples were divided into several categories. The general categories were part-time disciples, formal disciples, and elite disciples.
When Mo Tiange was in Yunwu Sect, she was only a formal disciple, which was above part-time disciples. She was also the most common disciple in the sect. She didn't have a master, so she could only listen to a senior's lecture together with hundreds or even thousands of people.
As for elite disciples, they were disciples who had a master.
Although seniority was determined by cultivation level in the cultivation world, the seniority of a real master was strictly regulated and wouldn't change with the change of cultivation level. Therefore, although Luo Fengxue was in the Aura Refining realm like her, she could call a senior in the Core Formation realm martial uncle.
Disciples with a master were divided into several categories. Those with the lowest status were registered disciples.
Registered disciples couldn't be regarded as real disciples because masters wouldn't teach them personally. Therefore, Mo Tiange could only be with Luo Fengxue now, which made her one generation lower.
However, because the one who accepted her as a registered disciple was a Nascent Soul cultivator, her status was naturally different. Even Master Daoist Xuanyin had to be polite to her.
The most common ones were inner disciples.
Those who were accepted by high level cultivators were inner disciples and could receive guidance from their master.
If their master was satisfied with their cultivation level, they would be promoted to an advanced disciple. Once they became an advanced disciple, their master would teach them some secret techniques and divine abilities, and they would be ranked in the sect.
Master Daoist Xuanyin was ranked first among Lord Daoist Jinghe's advanced disciples, so he was called the first disciple.
Finally, the closest to him were his direct disciples.
Direct disciples could obtain their master's true teachings, and they were also their master's successors. Generally, there would only be one or two direct disciples among all the disciples.
Right now, Mo Tiange was only a registered disciple. However, because her master had an extraordinary identity and status, Luo Fengxue arranged for Mo Tiange to live next to Master Daoist Xuanyin's Immortal's Cave together with her fellow martial sisters.
Originally, Luo Fengxue wanted to introduce Master Daoist Xuanyin's several martial sisters to Mo Tiange, but they were either out or in Closed Door Meditation, so she had no choice but to drop the matter. Since Luo Fengxue was on duty today, she let Mo Tiange rest by herself.
By the time Luo Fengxue left, Mo Tiange was already very tired, but she couldn't help but smile.
She originally thought it would be hard for a large cultivation group like Xuanqing School, where the relationships in the school were complicated and the disciples were arrogant, to adapt. Unexpectedly, the first person she came into contact with, Luo Fengxue, was kind and enthusiastic. Furthermore, this Grandmaster Jinghe also accepted her as a registered disciple.
All of this was going too smoothly for her, making her feel as if it wasn't real. Ever since she stepped onto the path of immortality, she had always been struggling bitterly. She had never had such a bright future.
She also wondered whether they had ulterior motives, just like her ancestor, Mo Yaoqing. It was only after she formed her Gold Core that she discovered the school had already decided her future.
However, after thinking about it carefully, she felt there was nothing to worry about right now. Let alone the fact that she was only an Aura Refining disciple, even if Grandmaster Jinghe really harbored evil intentions, he could just use his cultivation level to force her. Why did he have to arrange these things?
With this thought in mind, she settled down in a relaxed manner.
Elite disciples were indeed elite disciples; the treatment they received was completely different from that of ordinary disciples.
This place was very close to Master Daoist Xuanyin's Immortal's Cave. It was full of spiritual aura and had a quiet and beautiful environment.
The people living in the vicinity were all female disciples of his school.
Each of them had a small Immortal's Cave, and each small Immortal's Cave had several rooms. There was a lounge, a cultivation room, a pill-concocting room, a spiritual beast room, and so on. The furnishings of the tables and chairs were all made of green jade.
This was indeed an eye-opener for Mo Tiange. As far as she knew, even Yunwu Sect's Foundation Building cultivators didn't have such a good Immortal's Cave. This Xuanqing School was indeed worthy of being one of the biggest cultivation groups in the Celestial Pole.
The pleasant surprise of obtaining a good Immortal's Cave made her forget her exhaustion and she began to arrange it slowly.
The lounge was the simplest. Now that she was already in the tenth layer of the Aura Refining realm, she didn't really need to sleep, so she just arranged it casually.
In the cultivation room, there were praying mats, a Spirit Gathering Formation, and some unimportant books.
In the concocting room, she threw in the Human Furnace she bought in Tiandao Sect last time.
There were also several empty rooms. She didn't have anything to arrange, but there was a medicinal field behind the Immortal's Cave, which gave her some ideas.
The Immortal's Caves of these female disciples were all lined up side by side. Behind them was a small valley with several medicinal fields, most of which were filled with spiritual plants.
Luo Fengxue said each Immortal's Cave had a medicinal field, and the owner of the Immortal's Cave could do whatever he wanted with it.
Mo Tiange already planned to start learning how to concoct medicinal pills. This place was full of spiritual aura, so it was indeed a good place to plant spiritual plants. She planned to ask Luo Fengxue tomorrow where she could get seeds.
While Mo Tiange was busily arranging her Immortal's Cave, Lord Daoist Jinghe was still leaning on his dragon couch in the tallest Immortal's Cave on Clear Spring Peak. However, this time, there were no beauties to serve him, and there were no grapes to eat. Instead, he was lazily flipping through a book.
After reading for a while, he sneered and said disdainfully, "What kind of rotten thing is this? Do ancient cultivators use this kind of animal skin to make paper?
They don't even know they've been deceived! "
He waved the book and threw it towards Master Daoist Xuanyin, who was sitting below.
Master Daoist Xuanyin caught the book. His expression was twisted, but he still retained a trace of hope. He asked, "Master, is it really fake?"
Qin Jinghe sat up and took the tea handed to him by his disciple. He pursed his lips and said, "Yes, it's fake.
From the Distant Past era to the Middle Ages, Frost Stone Beasts only existed in the south of the mountain, and their numbers were extremely small. Later, during the Middle Ages, when the Righteous and Devil Paths fought against each other and the world changed, the number of Frost Stone Beasts increased.
Not to mention the material of this book, the content alone is specious. It can deceive a Core Formation cultivator like you. You want to deceive me?
No way! "
"* * *"
Perhaps because Master Daoist Xuanyin's expression was too distressed, Qin Jinghe asked, "How much did you spend?"
"Three hundred …"
"Only three hundred spirit stones?
Oh, forget it then. "Not to mention him, even Core Formation cultivators wouldn't care about such a small amount of money.
However, Master Daoist Xuanyin said, "Master, it's three hundred mid-grade spirit stones …"
"What?!" Qin Jinghe jumped.
In the cultivation world, low-grade spirit stones were commonly used. Mid-grade spirit stones weren't easy to find. Three hundred mid-grade spirit stones were more than 30,000 low-grade spirit stones.
"Three hundred mid-grade spirit stones! Brat, you're really …" Qin Jinghe wanted to criticize him, but on second thought, he decided to let it go.
Xuanqing School was one of the best cultivation groups in the Celestial Pole, but Core Formation cultivators only earned a few thousand spirit stones a year. This time, he was deceived …
"You're really regressing the more you live!"
Qin Jinghe couldn't accept the loss of spirit stones, so he cursed him fiercely, "Speak! Which guy deceived you?
I'm going to kill him and make him regret being born in this world! "
Master Daoist Xuanyin was also distressed. When he heard Qin Jinghe's words, he hastily said, "Master, I also obtained it from an unknown place. I've never even seen that person's face, let alone looking for him."
His master's killing intent was very heavy. Every time he killed someone, he would be reprimanded by the Head Elder. Then, when he came back, he would scold the troublemaker … Qin Jinghe didn't want to be reprimanded by his master like a three-year-old child.
Besides, he really didn't have any clues, so he already admitted defeat.
Seeing that Qin Jinghe was about to say something, Master Daoist Xuanyin hastily said, "Master, disciple has something to report to you. It's about that registered disciple you just accepted."
The latter part of his words pulled Qin Jinghe's attention back. "En?"
Master Daoist Xuanyin said cautiously, "Master, I checked that Mo Tiange's spiritual roots. It seems to be the Spiritual Roots of the Origin you mentioned before!"
"What?" Qin Jinghe glared at him. "Spiritual Roots of the Origin?
You mean the Spiritual Roots of the Origin that have all five spiritual roots and are equally strong and weak? "
"Yes." Master Daoist Xuanyin looked at his expression and said doubtfully, "Master, what's so mysterious about this spiritual root?
I remember you said the Spiritual Roots of the Origin is one of several kinds of special spiritual roots. It's not inferior to mutated spiritual roots and single spiritual roots. Unfortunately, it hasn't appeared in a long time. "
Qin Jinghe didn't answer him. Instead, he muttered to himself in disbelief, "Spiritual Roots of the Origin?
This girl is interesting. Pure Yin Constitution is already hard to come by in a thousand years, and Spiritual Roots of the Origin haven't appeared in several thousand years. Unexpectedly, both of them appeared in her body! "
After thinking for a while, he remembered that his disciple was still here, so he said to Master Daoist Xuanyin, "Do you know what Dao is when we cultivate?"
This question stunned Master Daoist Xuanyin for a moment.
Xuanqing School was a Dao School. When disciples entered the school, even if they were part-time disciples, they had to start with Daoist scriptures.
The question "what is Dao" was both shallow and deep. Any disciple in the school could answer it, but even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't give an exact answer.
It was rare for Qin Jinghe to have the demeanor of a Nascent Soul cultivator. With a stern expression, he said, "Dao is the heaven and earth, the universe, the void, the rules, the origin … It can even be considered as anything. However, in the Distant Past era, the so-called Dao mainly contained one meaning — balance."
"The so-called balance is balance, checks and balances, as well as permanence and eternity.
With balance, the world can exist. With checks and balances, the rules can be maintained. Only in this way can the world be eternal. "
Master Daoist Xuanyin was startled. "So, this Spiritual Roots of the Origin is a kind of existence that completely conforms to the Dao of the Distant Past era?"
Qin Jinghe nodded slightly. "Yes.
With our current cultivation method, the fewer spiritual roots we have, the better it is because the spiritual aura entering the body counteracts each other. However, in the Distant Past era, there was another cultivation method. "
"This …" Master Daoist Xuanyin was dumbfounded. In other words, in the Distant Past era, this kind of Spiritual Roots of the Origin was actually a heaven-gifted talent?
Qin Jinghe heaved a sigh. "Unfortunately, the Distant Past era was too long ago. In the Middle Ages era, the cultivation method was already changed. Nowadays, it's impossible to know the cultivation method of balance.
This child … What a pity … "
