After returning to the Tuositang headquarters and having a good night's rest, Loran Hill asked the helmsman about Qingluyuan early the next morning.
"Qingluyuan is a famous sect in the south, known for its medical skills and herbal medicine. The sect mainly practices the Hundred Flowers lineage. It is located in the mountains and forests between Muqingzhou and Weipingzhou. Many of the famous doctors and elixirs in the southern counties come from this sect."
"How does Qingluyuan rank among the various factions in the twenty-two southern continents?" Loran Hill suddenly wanted to understand the overall situation.
"This is difficult to define." The leader of the Tuoshitang shook his head slightly and continued.
"The most unfathomable of the Twenty-Two Continents of the South are naturally the two direct lines of Bai Feng Hong Hu, namely 'Bai Lu Qi Xuan Wu' and 'Ming Yue Yuan Xin Gong'. Both are upper gates."
"Most of the shamanic rituals in the southern states and counties originate from the 'White Dew Seven Xuanwu', but this is generally an official matter. Ordinary people have no access to these important figures, so they are not sensitive to it and few people care."
"The Mingyue Dangxin Palace is located on a small island overseas. It's isolated from the outside world and few people know about it. We've only heard that every three years, the 'Bailu Qixuanwu' and the 'Mingyue Dangxin Palace' will hold a grand competition to test each other."
"However, these two sects are relatively low-key, and their popularity among the people is far less than ours. Apart from these two high-ranking sects, there are also large sects like us that span several continents, such as 'Tuo Shi Tang', 'Qing Lu Yuan', 'Wu Gou Men', and 'Jin Zhu Fang'."
"Further down, there are some factions within each state. For example, in Qingzhizhou, there is a faction called 'Huoqiu Sect'. They have many fire magicians, hundreds of experts above the fourth level, and seven or eight fifth level. There may even be a sixth level that has not yet emerged."
"In the martial arts world, masters above level five are usually specially distinguished because reaching level five is a huge improvement. They can walk on mountains and waves, and go anywhere. They can walk freely in the world alone without fear of monsters and dangerous places, just like walking on flat ground."
"So, to clarify this difference, some people call the fifth level 'Walking on the Waves'."
"Up to the sixth level, one will generally gain a certain degree of flight. Even if defeated, they can still escape with their lives. Ordinary people fear retaliation from such masters, and even officials will show considerable respect. Some even call the sixth level 'riding the mist.'"
"What about above that?" Loran Hill blinked and suddenly felt that this name was quite interesting.
"Further up, the seventh step, also known as the Coral Steps in the West, is called 'Piercing the Sky,' meaning to pierce the sky and split the clouds, like lightning and dew."
"The eighth crystal step is called 'Denglin', which means climbing to the top and overlooking the world. It is the leading figure in one's area."
"Ninth level, the end of the ladder to heaven, where one ascends to heaven. This is a living immortal. Mortals are not allowed to make random comments. They are all called 'flying immortals'." (These titles do not need to be memorized 00/)
"When our Tuoshitang was founded, it was just a small sect. The sect's techniques have been gradually accumulated and improved over generations to become so sophisticated. The most accomplished person in the sect appeared a hundred years ago. That master achieved the realm of 'ascension' and further improved the sect's techniques, leading to the current situation."
"Is there no senior who has achieved the status of 'Flying Immortal'?" The girl was a little surprised. In her opinion, Tuositang was a fairly large faction. It shouldn't be that there has been no one there in the past few hundred years.
"No, although it has been passed down for hundreds of years, it really rose to prominence under the leadership of that Lord a hundred years ago, and it didn't flourish for very long."
"In fact, this is true for most factions in the world. Only factions that have produced a 'Flying Immortal' can become a Shangmen. Similarly, apart from Shangmen, there are basically no 'Flying Immortals' in other factions, whether now or in the past."
"Is that so?" Loran Hill thought slowly.
It seemed the same was true on the Western Continent. Most of the famous factions there were founded by past heroes or saints, and they had a very long history. It seemed that in this pre-internet age, the inheritance of knowledge was still extremely valuable. Without the accumulated experience of predecessors, it would be too difficult to explore on one's own.
No wonder the Five Phoenixes have such a high reputation in the East Continent. It can be said that the five of them created a complete set of advanced systems from scratch, and their legacy has lasted for thousands of years.
After learning this, Loran Hill remembered another little thing he heard yesterday.
"What kind of existence does the Needle Master have in Qingluyuan?"
"Qingluyuan will call the fifth-level practitioners within the sect 'Needle Master,' 'Moxa Master,' and 'Cortex Master.' Each of these focuses on combat, healing, or herbal medicine."
"In its heyday, the 'Three Emissaries' of Qingluyuan, dressed in blue robes, traveled across the continents and counties, and were very famous."
"Even now, after the changes in heaven and earth, the envoys of Qingluyuan are still not to be underestimated. Most of them can easily defeat masters of the same level. If they are skilled in the use of swords and needles, they can easily defeat three at once."
"There's a huge difference between people of the same level."
Loran Hill sighed. There was a huge gap between ordinary transcendents and disciples of major sects, and between disciples of major sects and true disciples. Even if they were at the same level, they could not be simply equated.
After learning this, Loranhill continued to stay in Qingweizhou for several days until news arrived.
That afternoon, Loran Hill was sitting in a warehouse courtyard of the Tuoshi Hall with a veil on her face, checking the boxes filled with moldy herbs and old items.
As a large sect that helps with shipping goods, escorting, and gathering information, they will encounter some commissions that cannot be completed over time, such as no one coming to pick up the transported goods after they arrive at the destination, the client's death on the way, and goods accidentally left behind in Tuositang, etc.
