Chapter 41: Jiao Xiuyu
There were four halls in the courtyard, which were divided into a refining hall, repair hall, cultivation hall and serene hall.
Ji Yuenian sat on the jade couch in the serene hall, slowly put down the token in his hand, and his eyes became darker.
The most basic practice formula of the Taiyu Holy Sect was called "Taiyu Xuanfa". This formula was not uncommon. When every foreign disciple who had been admitted to the sect would be given this technique by the peak master of the peak where he or she first entered.
But in Eclipse Moon Peak, where Ji Yuenian was located, things were not simple. The peak master hall not only required the recommended disciples to retake the entrance examination, but he would also distribute true formula after the examination. Moreover, if he failed in the examination, there was the possibility of being relegated to become a servant disciple.
After thinking about it for a moment, Ji Yuenian picked up the token again and looked at the more than 20 articles of Taiyu Holy Sect’s rules.
"The disciples of the Outer Sect must obey the peak master's orders within the mountain they belong to. If there is any violation, the peak master can use the recording jade talisman to record the details, and then kill them on the spot."
Looking at the dense line of small characters in the light screen, Ji Yuenian's brows slightly wrinkled.
Most of the peak masters in the Luoxia Mountains were sent out by the disciples of the Six Mountains, and they had unparalleled power within the scope allowed by the clan rules.
However, even the peak master could not act recklessly against the disciples in the mountain peak. To deal with a disciple who had entered the sect, one needed to have extremely detailed evidence. If one deliberately ordered the disciples in the peak to do some impossible task that might lead to his or her demise. As for this matter, this peak master was considered to have violated the sect rules and would be severely punished.
It was unavoidable to re-take the assessment.
Although Ji Yuenian didn't think he would be demoted to a servant disciple, Eclipse Moon Peak's behavior this time still made him faintly have the idea of changing peaks.
After all, within the Eclipse Moon Peak, not only did one have to hand over a spirit stone to the main hall of the peak every month, but one also had to spend three days every 20 days to plant and take care of the spiritual fruits and flowers in the peak, which was really a little nerve wrecking.
He was rich in terms of spirit stones. If an ordinary disciple came here, his monthly resource share was only two spirit stones, and then he would hand over one spirit stone to the main hall of the peak. So, it might be impossible for anyone to refine their Profound Sea even in their lifetime.
"If you can rank among the top in the assessment of hundreds of thousands of people, there is a great possibility that a certain peak master will take a fancy to them and bring them directly into the mountain peak."
Ji Yuenian put away the token, and he had already made up his mind.
The entrance examination of Taiyu Holy Sect took place every 50 years, and it targeted countless creatures in the nineteen ancient cities and thirteen ordinary mountain ranges under its rule, whether they were humans, demons, spirits, monsters, etc. As long as you grow up in the territory under the rule of the Taiyu Holy Sect, you could participate in the sect admission assessment.
Every time the Outer Sect of the Taiyu Holy Sect opened its gate, countless creatures would come to participate in the assessment. The first few layers of assessment and screening were not difficult, even if they could only become one of the hundreds of thousands of normal disciples in the end. It was not that they had no chance of igniting their Heart Fires.
Even low-status servant disciples would be given the first three chapters of "Taiyu Xuanfa". Once there were people who ignited their Heart Fire, they would be directly assigned to the mountain by the Hall of Records and officially listed in the Outer Sect.
Among them, there were also many souls who had already ignited their Heart Fire before participating in the assessment. Such creatures would generally be shining stars during the assessment, and compete with many people who had ignited their Heart Fires to compete for the most advanced position in this sect entrance assessment.
A mysterious light flickered from the token.
Ji Yuenian's eyes moved slightly, he took the token, got off the jade couch and walked out of the courtyard.
There was someone outside the courtyard who activated the token.
After removing the condensed light shield that shrouded the courtyard, there were indeed two disciples standing on the edge of the courtyard.
One of them was holding a token of the Outer Sect. It was obvious that he was the one who activated the induction of the courtyard's light shield.
"This junior brother is a new a disciple of Eclipse Moon Peak?"
The man put away the token, with a fake smile on his face, and started the conversation with Ji Yuenian first.
Ji Yueniaodded lightly, seeing that the two were just standing on the edge of the courtyard but did not dare to come in, he understood what it meant.
The courtyard where each disciple was located was a very private place. If someone broke into the courtyard of other disciples without consent, then with the permission of the sect rules, this disciple had the right to directly urge the token to use the forbidden array in the courtyard. The offender would be killed directly.
"I request junior brother to take out a piece of spiritual stone, and I will help you go to the top of the Eclipse Moon Peak and hand it over to the main hall of the peak."
There was a little azure radiance in Ji Yuenian's eyes, but he didn't respond.
The other person frowned and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Li, today is the end of the month, and a piece of spirit stone from next month will be collected together, a total of two pieces."
The disciple surnamed Li coughed lightly and said, "Ah... Yes, junior brother, you take out two spirit stones and give them to me, and Xu Yan and I will help you deliver them to the peak master's hall."
"Do you think I'm so stupid that I can't walk?" Ji Yuenian's eyes were a little playful, "If I really take out two spirit stones and hand them over to you, I wonder if senior brother will hand them over to the main hall of the peak, or will he and this persoamed Xu Yan swallow them alone privately?"
Disciple surnamed Li glared at Xu Yan, turned his head towards Ji Yuenian and said, "Junior brother misunderstood, I am the deacon of the main hall of the peak, and I came here to collect the spiritual stone on behalf of the main hall of the peak, and I have no intention of selfishly swallowing it."
"Do you have proof?" Ji Yue said in a chilly voice.
The disciple surnamed Li took out a white jade token that was completely different from the token of the Outer Sect. The word "Eclipse Moon" was engraved on the front of the token.
"Am I still going to lie to you?" The disciple surnamed Li said with a dry smile.
Ji Yuenian looked at the small token with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Li Zhao, are you two tricking the new disciple again?"
Undisguised sarcasm greeted his ears, and a white-robed young man walked over and smiled at Ji Yuenian, "That's not the deacon token of the Peak Lord's Hall, it's just the ordinary disciple token of Eclipse Moon Peak. If you truly join the Eclipse Moon Peak through the entrance examination, you will also have such a token."
Li Zhao's complexion changed to a myriad of expressions, and he said angrily, "Jiao Xiuyu, are you mentally ill? What's wrong with me talking to this junior brother here?"
It was only at this time that Ji Yueniaoticed that Jiao Xiuyu had a single horn about half a foot long on his forehead.
He was a demon.
Taiyu Sect was all-encompassing, and monster disciples were not an unusual sight.
Ji Yuenian was only a little surprised for a moment before he wore his calm face again.
"The new disciples are already poor, and you are so shamelessly coaxing spirit stones from them. How he will cultivate in the future?" Jiao Xiuyu said lightly, "Eclipse Moon Peak is quite infamous outside, some reason lies upon the main hall of the peak. Part of it is because of worms like you."
Seeing that they could no longer earn spirit stones, Li Zhao and Xu Yan snorted coldly, glanced at Jiao Xiuyu angrily, turned and left.
"Junior Brother, won't you invite me in to sit down?"
Jiao Xiuyu's eyes were somewhat inexplicable.
If it wasn't for someone who was extremely close, one wouldn't easily enter the courtyard of other disciples. When Jiao Xiuyu asked, Ji Yuenian was slightly startled.
"Please."
