Several elders gave all outer disciples a generous compensation of spirit stones on the spot and also improved their welfare benefits to a certain extent.
This is also a rare comfort for all survivors.
While waiting, the sect's flying boat finally arrived. With his current status, Jiang Li at least experienced the feeling of living in the upper room of a building boat.
After returning to the sect on a smooth ship, the other outer disciples were exempted from their sect missions for half a year and returned to their own places to recuperate.
Jiang Li, under the leadership of Elder Zhong, went deeper into the sect.
Changqing Hall is the main meeting hall of Sutra Valley, where all large and small councils in the valley are held.
The annual outer sect competition is not a big deal. It has been a tradition for outer sect disciples to be promoted to inner sect and to enter the temple to become disciples for many years.
While making it convenient to recruit disciples, it also allows disciples to recognize people and enhance the cohesion of inner disciples.
What's more, such an accident happened in this outer sect competition, and the outer sect disciples suffered heavy losses. Naturally, the sect also has to express its gratitude to Jiang Li, the only one who completed the task and won.
It was the first time that Jiang Li saw so many sect elders, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Especially the master of the Sutra Valley. To be honest, Jiang Li didn't even know his name. Usually, few people in the sect dared to call him by his name. The elder of the Transmission Hall seemed to have mentioned it, but he forgot it completely after hearing it at that time.
Fortunately, no one would specifically ask him about the name and life story of the Valley Master, so it was not awkward to just call him Valley Master.
When Jiang Li stepped into the hall, a powerful aura made him tremble.
It wasn't that anyone was intentionally releasing pressure to scare him, but there were at least thirty or forty elders at the top and on both sides of the hall.
He was just a young Qi-cultivating cultivator, and being stared at by such a group of senior cultivators, he naturally felt like a thorn in his back.
But at the same time, he was also a little flattered.
Because apart from the Valley Master, any other elder who comes here means that they have the intention to accept disciples, and Jiang Li can choose any one of them to become his disciple.
He is a person with middle-grade spiritual root aptitude, but he can receive such treatment. It is probably because of the accident in this "Outer Sect Competition" that the sect gave him some preferential treatment.
Jiang Li raised his eyes and glanced, and clearly saw the red-haired elder of the Alchemy Hall and Elder Weng of the Qimen Hall were also among them.
"Greetings to the Valley Master, and to all the elders."
Jiang Li bowed and saluted.
"Disciple Jiang Li has been in the sect for less than half a year, and he has already reached the middle stage of Qi training with the aptitude of mid-grade spiritual roots. This effort is also rare."
"The elders of the Chuan Gong Hall and the elder Weng of the Qi Men Hall both speak highly of you. You also made contributions to our sect during the previous mission in the Indo-South Country."
"The sect originally wanted to accept you as a member at that time, but I didn't expect that in just half a month, you relied on your own efforts to stand here. I am very pleased."
The Valley Master looked like an approachable middle-aged uncle, which was far from the majestic and rigid image that Jiang Li had imagined.
Jiang Li was somewhat surprised at how well the Valley Master knew him. Although this was certainly information gathered temporarily, it still showed how much the other party valued him.
"Valley Master, you are too kind. I am ashamed. It is all because of the good teachings of the elders. I am just a little luckier."
Jiang Li was a little modest, but it felt really good to be praised by the Valley Master.
"You are now an inner sect disciple, so the previous treatment is naturally no longer suitable for you."
"From today on, your monthly supply of spirit stones will be the same as your other brothers."
Jiang Li also knew that Elder Lin was the descendant of the corpse-driving lineage that passed down the "Coffin Burial Technique". His spiritual roots were the same as Jiang Li's. If he became Jiang Li's disciple, he might be able to get more help.
"Well, I see that you have learned a lot, including alchemy, corpse puppetry, and body training. It would be best for you to specialize in one of your subjects. Tell me what you think."
When talking about the puppet corpse, Jiang Li was somewhat nervous. After all, the black zombie he had was refined by stealing the corpse of a senior from the outer sect, which was indeed a bit unkind.
But apparently, no one wants to pursue this now.
"Disciple wants to practice physical training."
Jiang Li decided to focus on physical training in the future after careful consideration.
First of all, giving up on alchemy was not because of the Red-haired Elder.
At the beginning, he had high hopes for the alchemist, a must-have money-making profession in novels about cultivating immortals.
But after trying for a while without giving up, he helplessly discovered that he really didn't have much talent in this area.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
The red-haired elder and the fourth senior sister did teach him well for a few days.
However, the final conclusion was that he was okay at making poisons, but he should save his time on making pills.
This is the world of immortal cultivation, and many things cannot be changed by hard work. Talent is talent, and without that aptitude, no matter how much effort and resources are invested, it will be in vain.
Instead, he often stared at the runes on the alchemy furnace in a daze, felt dizzy, and even had hallucinations. When discovered by the red-haired elder, he thought that he must have some talent in formations and runes, but he couldn't tell what his specific talent was.
As for the puppet corpse, there are very few elders and disciples in the Sutra Valley who specialize in it, and Elder Lin does not accept any disciples.
Apart from this, only Qimen Hall has been involved in this area. The body of the golden elixir corpse demon is now undergoing transformation in Qimen Hall, but because the corpse pill was stolen by Elder Duan Shuang, the power of the corpse demon puppet has been greatly reduced.
Of course, the most critical problem is that this puppet corpse cannot fully bring out the effect of Jiang Li's plug-in. It is okay to use it as an auxiliary, but if it is used as the main practice, it would be a bit of a loss.
As for physical training, looking at Jiang Li's current situation, you can see that relying on his plus and minus buttons, physical training is almost a smooth road. There is no reason not to choose it.
"Well, I heard from Elder Zhong that you are indeed quite talented in physical training. Why don't you become Elder He's disciple? Elder He is an expert in physical training, and no one in Sutra Valley can match him. Even in the whole Dachong Mountain area, only the monks of Cihang Temple can compare with him in physical training."
Jiang Li followed the guidance of the Valley Master and looked at a super tough guy among the elders whose body was covered with complex tattoos.
The skin that looked as hard as metal and the bald head that could almost be used as a mirror made Jiang Li's scalp tingle.
The other party nodded at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li reacted immediately and bowed to the other party as a disciple.
"Disciple Jiang Li, I come to see the Master!"
Jiang Li had heard of this Elder He. He was the chief elder of the Demon Subduing Hall in Sutra Valley and the immediate superior of Elder Duan Shuang. He was very powerful with his iron fists.
Apart from anything else, after becoming his disciple, the identity of the Demon Subduing Hall's chief disciple alone would bring him enormous benefits.
Comrades, is the setting of the bad consequences really so hard to accept? If so, please leave a message to tell me. . I am so depressed.
