This inner sect disciple who was able to draw Qi into his body in one day was named Wang Mingzhi, and he was just eight years old.
No matter whether one has hidden his cultivation level before entering the sect, as long as he is a good seedling, there will be no problem.
But whether this person has bad intentions or is lacking in character is something his master needs to consider, provided that he has a master.
According to normal procedures, it is impossible for a disciple who has just entered a sect to be accepted as a disciple by a monk immediately unless he has outstanding spiritual roots.
After the young child with spiritual roots was brought back to the sect.
Single or dual spiritual roots. As soon as their spiritual roots are first detected, they will be taken away by the sect's highly respected elders and high-level monks.
Those with three spiritual roots or above are considered inner disciples and are uniformly allocated housing, storage bags, robes, etc. There is also a school in the sect, where fixed foundation-building or golden elixir cultivators teach daily.
Some illiterate children need to start by learning to write. Fortunately, one can learn to draw Qi into the body without knowing how to read, so learning to write does not interfere with the initial practice.
Those with fourth or fifth-grade waste spiritual roots are considered outer disciples. They are also provided with housing, storage bags, and robes. However, they do not receive the monthly supply of spirit stones, elixirs, and other items from the sect. They must complete missions within the sect to obtain these items.
Then, after a long period of study, outer disciples can also get the opportunity to enter the inner sect after building their foundation.
As for the original inner disciples with three spiritual roots, if they have outstanding comprehension and are noticed by a Jindan cultivator, they also have the opportunity to be accepted as his personal disciples.
Wang Mingzhi really has a master.
His master was a Jindan cultivator named Ning Sui.
Ning Sui learned that Wang Mingzhi had already drawn Qi into his body, so he called him over.
"Master needs to use his spiritual power to check on your condition. Relax and don't resist, or I'll hurt you."
"yes."
As soon as the spiritual energy circulated within Wang Mingzhi's body, Ning Sui knew that this was indeed a sign of Qi entering the body. Moreover, the spiritual energy was still stable, and it would not be long before he could rise to the second stage of Qi training.
He withdrew his spiritual power and soothed her, "Don't pay attention to the rumors outside, just focus on your cultivation."
Ning Sui was not a person who cared much about taking in disciples. The reason he accepted Wang Mingzhi was not because he saw that his aptitude and comprehension were better than others. But because he was literate, quiet, and easy to deal with.
To ensure the continuation of the sect, cultivators who reached the Golden Core stage were required to accept at least one disciple within ten years. However, cultivators with good single or double spiritual roots were not eligible for the position of cultivators who had just reached the early Golden Core stage, so they could only recruit promising talents from those with three spiritual roots.
Ning Sui had no interest in the young boys who had just come in, so he naturally paid no attention to them. Whenever he thought of recruiting disciples, the obedient ones had already been taken away by his senior brothers. As for the rest...
So, Ning Sui decided to strike first this time.
When he was carrying out the task of recruiting disciples, he paid attention to all the children on the shuttle and tried to find one that suited his taste.
Wang Mingzhi was a nice guy, he didn't cry or make a fuss, and he spoke politely. He was the grandson of the village private school teacher.
And when you think about it, it’s really worry-free.
If a disciple is accepted as a direct disciple before the Qi is drawn into the body, the master will most likely personally inject the spiritual Qi into the disciple to create a sense of Qi, making it easier for the disciple to enter the state.
Originally, Ning Sui wanted to carry out this step in a few days, but he didn't expect that Wang Mingzhi had entered the Qi Refining Stage in just one day, so he didn't need to worry about it.
"What did you do before the attack? I can use it as a reference for your fellow disciples."
Wang Mingzhi nodded and described the situation in detail to Ning Sui.
"Have you ever taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Every inner disciple has one of these things, which are distributed along with the storage bag, but they are all of low quality.
Wang Mingzhi said, "I once took one of the pills given to me by my master."
When accepting a disciple, one must give a gift. On the day of accepting him as a disciple, Ning Sui casually took out some pills, talismans, basic exercises, and other items from his storage bag and gave them to Wang Mingzhi. Among them were the marrow cleansing pill and healing pill given by Er Yi.
He himself has no use for these two things, but they are just right for disciples who have just started.
Thinking of this, Ning Sui's heart moved.
"Okay, go back and consolidate your cultivation first."
Seeing his new disciple leave, Ning Sui opened his storage bag, took out a thumb-sized jade bottle, and poured out the only white pill left inside.
The fragrance of elixir is overflowing.
Eryi once gave him two marrow cleansing pills and three healing pills.
All the healing pills had been given out, and since each disciple used one marrow cleansing pill, he only gave out one, leaving one left.
After pondering for a moment, Ning got up and went out.
…
"Is this the marrow cleansing pill you stumbled upon when you went out?"
"Yes, that's it."
"Well, very special." The person who spoke was a mid-stage Jindan cultivator from Tongshan Sect, named Ronghui, who was good at refining pills.
"The person who gave me the pill said that it would be most effective if used on children under ten years old. It would be ineffective on children over twenty years old."
"No wonder." The most common marrow cleansing pills in the cultivation world can be used regardless of age. However, their effects are not targeted, unlike this one.
Rong Hui poured the powder scraped off the edge of the pill into the bottle and chanted a few incantations. "This pill's effects are somewhat unconventional, but very creative. If used by a child under ten, its effects are close to those of a top-grade product. It seems to me that it's a method used by a certain new school of thought in the last sixty years. The speed with which your new disciple draws Qi into his body makes sense. Are you familiar with that fellow Daoist? Could you introduce me to him?"
Ning Sui shook his head and sighed: "I have handed the sound transmission note to her, but I haven't received any verbal message yet."
"If we can win them over for the sect, that would be great."
The rumors of Wang Mingzhi's problems were quickly suppressed. Everyone knew that his master had stumbled upon two excellent marrow cleansing pills while traveling, giving one to him while the other was taken by the sect's alchemist.
…
Ning Sui originally thought that he could have some peace and quiet after completing the task of recruiting disciples, but he was summoned by the headmaster again.
There is no other reason. He should go out and ask the alchemist who gave him the pill if he can provide this marrow cleansing pill to Tongshanmen on a regular basis and what the price is.
"You said she was interested in opening a shop, so she's just short of money. There haven't been any shuttles leaving Tongshan Market lately. Go look for her now, maybe you can see her there."
The head of the sect made the request directly, and Ning Sui had no way of refusing, so he turned around and went down the mountain directly.
He originally thought it would be difficult to find a monk among the crowd who hadn't left any specific information for him. However, just as he flew over the Tongshan Market...
"Why does this seven-story tower look so familiar? If it were smaller, with two floors..." Isn't it Fellow Daoist Er's flying magic weapon?
Eryi was explaining the scope of business to two newly recruited Qi Refining employees.
This time she recruited a total of three employees, one of whom, Lin Xinyi, has received preliminary business training and is trying to receive guests in the reception room on the first floor.
Although many people applied for the job, she was looking for employees, not apprentices. Spiritual roots were secondary; diligence, flexibility, literacy, and the ability to speak were more important. Those cultivators who could only gesture and barely utter a word while setting up stalls were out of the question.
The three employees this time are two girls.
Lin Xinyi, five-attribute spiritual roots, seventeen years old, first level of Qi training.
Jiang Wenxia, four-attribute spiritual roots, twenty years old, third level of Qi training.
A young man.
Chai Cheng, five-attribute spiritual roots, twenty-two years old, third level of Qi training.
Almost all of them are the type that sees no hope in building a foundation, which is good.
Because the treatment station is open all day, someone needs to be on night duty. It's a three-shift system, no one is favored. But actually, no one comes at night, so it's safe enough to practice in the reception room.
Staff accommodations are located on the fifth floor of Three Thousand Worlds. The passage to the underworld, due to the increased number of people entering and leaving, has been moved to the sixth floor by Eryi.
Because they still didn't know the prices of everything in the Qingling Realm, the three employees mainly just purchased the spiritual herbs that Eryi had listed for them and explained the business to customers.
The actual treatment, as well as the pricing and charging, will still be carried out personally by Eryi for the time being.
"Also, once you are a little more familiar with the work, I will teach you a new technique that can be used to organize your spiritual energy."
These new recruits with wood spiritual roots were different from those in other planes. They could learn Spring Breeze Technique instead of light magic such as healing.
After learning the Spring Breeze Technique (Staff Learning Version), you can use it to organize the spiritual energy of cultivators at the same level or the next level below. Learning Requirements: Work at the Healing Station for at least one month.
Whether the employees learned this skill or not was irrelevant to Eryi. But for them, it was an incentive. After all, they were independent cultivators, and acquiring new techniques was extremely difficult.
Before Eryi finished speaking to the new employees, Lin Xinyi came to report.
"Senior Er, a Jindan senior from Tongshan Sect who calls himself Ning Sui is here to visit."
"Okay." Eryi asked the two employees to familiarize themselves with the business instructions that had just been given to them, then turned and left.
…
"Sorry, it's a bit messy as we just opened. Please take a seat." Eryi invited Ning Sui into the newly built tea room on the second floor.
Ning Sui wasn't one to beat around the bush, so he asked directly as soon as he sat down, "Fellow Daoist Er, are you good at refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill?"
"Not really any good at it."
"Last time, I was fortunate enough to receive the marrow cleansing pill from fellow Daoist. I used it on my disciples and it worked very well. This time, I wanted to ask on behalf of other disciples in the sect if fellow Daoist would sell this item to others."
"It's for sale, but I don't have many left."
"Can we have a long-term cooperation, with the Tongshan faction providing the materials?"
The materials for the marrow cleansing pill in Eryi's hand are different from those in the Qingling Realm.
The ingredient for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, converted from the Marrow Cleansing Technique, is Qingling Grass. This grass is not expensive, costing only one Spirit Pearl per plant. This is mainly because it grows in areas that are not dangerous, is plentiful, and is not guarded by demonic beasts, making it easy to harvest.
But in reality, a true marrow cleansing pill requires the combination of at least five kinds of spiritual herbs. However, a large furnace is needed for each refining, and more pills can be produced.
Seeing Eryi was a little hesitant, Ning Sui remembered that his senior brother Ronghui, who was good at alchemy, once told him that the formula of the marrow cleansing pill he took was different from that of ordinary marrow cleansing pills.
Claiming that he is willing to provide her with materials sounds like he is trying to trick her into giving her a prescription for an elixir, which is not acceptable.
"Long-term cooperation might be difficult. To be honest, I might leave here in a month."
"How many Marrow Cleansing Pills does Fellow Daoist Er have left? Can I buy them all at once?"
Remembering the instructions given to him by the headmaster before he left, Ning Sui directly quoted the price: "Fifteen spirit stones, one."
