Chapter 152: Just a New Foundation
In the Shenhu Immortal Sect, the foundation-building elders and the Qi-refining disciples are two different classes. The foundation-building elders are a group with vested interests. They control the vast majority of the resources of the sect. Most of the tasks that ordinary disciples work hard on are to serve them. The small amount of merit points that Qi-refining disciples earn by working hard on tasks is only enough to maintain their basic practice. People who are not qualified enough or have no other way to make money will basically never be able to build a foundation in their lifetime.
This is also the main reason why the immortal sect recruits many disciples.
What they accept are not disciples, but resources.
Just like Chen Luo now, once he was promoted to a foundation-building cultivator, he immediately became a privileged class. Even if he didn't have any contribution points, he could still browse the library on the main peak.
"It turns out to be Elder Qu from the Divine Fire Peak."
Chen Luo glanced at the other person, scanned with his spiritual sense, and immediately sensed the other person's realm.
The initial stage of foundation building.
Like Xianhe Chengfeng, Chen Luo discovered that most of the elders of the entire Shenhu Xianmen were only in the early stages of foundation building. After all, there were only a few strong foundation builders like Wuwei Zhenren who had secrets.
". Elder Chen has really just been promoted?"
Elder Qu naturally sensed such a blatant spiritual probe. He originally intended to block Chen Luo's peeping, but his spiritual power was just unleashed when Chen Luo broke through it. The spiritual power of the two was completely not at the same level, and he couldn't even block it.
“Indeed, I have just made a breakthrough not long ago. If I have offended Elder Qu in any way, I hope you can forgive me.” Chen Luo said with a smile.
I looked like I had just broken through my ignorance.
"In the future, try not to use your spiritual sense to spy on others like this. In the world of immortal cultivation, this is a taboo." Elder Qu couldn't help but remind him.
Chen Luo suddenly understood what was said.
He immediately took out a spirit stone from the storage bag and handed it to Elder Qu.
"I just broke through not long ago, and I don't understand many things. I would like to thank Elder Qu for his guidance. This spiritual stone is my apology."
Chen Luo immediately apologized and took out a gift.
Elder Qu glanced at the lonely spirit stone in Chen Luo's hand and the other party's sincere expression, and suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
Just one spirit stone, are you going to send away a beggar?
"The magical powers in the library are for ordinary disciples to see. The real core magical powers are in the hands of us elders. For our realm, the truly valuable magical powers must be exchanged for spirit stones. I believe that Master Wuwei has told you about this, right?"
Elder Qu changed the subject.
Seeing this, Chen Luo quickly took back the spirit stone in his hand.
Save money!
"I am a junior who doesn't know many things about the world of immortal cultivation, and I have only learned a few magical powers at random. I wonder if Elder Qu has any magical powers suitable for us foundation-building cultivators?" In less than two sentences, Chen Luo turned the topic to the benefits.
He looked like someone humbly seeking advice.
Elder Qu did not respond, but led Chen Luo out with a smile on his face.
"Come to think of it, you Daoyou Chen, you haven't been to my Divine Fire Peak yet, right? You must go over there today. There is a kind of rock stamen flower on my Divine Fire Peak, and it tastes great when brewed into tea."
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, Elder Qu."
Upon hearing this, Chen Luo put down the book in his hand.
He had almost finished reading all the books in the library and it was time to leave.
The two of them walked out of the library talking and laughing, and the magic power under their feet turned into two streams of light and flew towards the direction of the Divine Fire Peak.
In just a moment, the two reached the top of the Divine Fire Peak.
The appearance of the two foundation-building monks immediately attracted the attention of a group of people. All the disciples on the Divine Fire Peak stepped aside to make way for the two foundation-building monks.
Compared to the sparsely populated Wudao Peak, Shenhuo Peak was obviously much more lively. Not only were there many people, but the atmosphere was also very hot. As soon as he landed, Chen Luo heard many casting sounds, and flames and heat waves kept surging out.
In the crowd, two men and women who were casting tools looked at the young man walking with the peak master, Elder Qu, and their expressions froze for a moment.
"This person seems to be the senior brother I met in the villa of Xinyue Inn that day." These two people were the disciples of the Sha family who were tried hard to be flattered by the senior brother Du De that day.
Because they had taught Xie Shuang and Du De a lesson that day, the two of them had paid more attention to him. They didn't expect that when they met him again today, his identity had changed dramatically. He was actually on par with their peak master.
"He has advanced to the foundation-building stage? It's only been a few days!!" The disciple surnamed Sha had a look of disbelief on his face, and he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.
Build the foundation!
The state he dreams of achieving.
"Junior Brother Chen?"
Unlike the two of them, the eldest senior brother Du De who had been standing beside them all the time, really saw the appearance of the person who came this time, and confirmed that this person was indeed Chen Luo who had come out of the Yue State Tomb with him.
It’s just that why is there such a big gap between us when we all came out to practice together?
He had just broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining after going through many life-threatening situations, while Chen Luo, who had been practicing for the same amount of time as him, had already become a Foundation Establishment Elder.
'Qualifications?'
'No, Junior Brother Sha also has three spiritual roots. If it was just because of his aptitude, he would have established his foundation. So I can't attribute Junior Brother Chen's success to his aptitude. He must have gone through many hardships like me! He has better aptitude than me, and he practices harder than me, so naturally he is ahead of me.'
Du De quickly cheered up and was secretly happy for Chen Luo.
The slight unhappiness he had felt before had already been forgotten by him. After all, they were from the same place. If Chen Luo could build a foundation, it meant that they could do the same. The "country bumpkin" from the tomb was no worse than a human.
"The Sect Master already knows about Elder Chen's breakthrough to the foundation building stage, but the Sect Master is currently at a critical juncture of breakthrough and cannot come in person, so he asked me to do it for him."
After entering the back mountain, Elder Qu explained his purpose.
"Elder Chen's current achievements are inseparable from the help of the Immortal Sect. Now the sect has just experienced a war, and it is a time to rebuild. We, the foundation-building cultivators, also want to contribute to the sect, as long as Elder Chen is willing to accept the position of elder."
Just as Master Wuwei had guessed, Elder Qu had indeed come to invite him to join the Immortal Sect. He talked a lot about the treatment he would receive after becoming an elder, and promised on behalf of the sect that Tianming Peak would be allocated to him. As long as he agreed, he would be the master of Tianming Peak, the tenth peak of the Immortal Sect.
There are indeed many benefits, and Chen Luo was almost tempted after hearing them.
Fortunately, he held back at the last moment.
"I just broke through, and it will take some time for my cultivation to stabilize. Once my realm is stable, I will come to discuss this matter with my senior brother."
Chen Luo interrupted Elder Qu's endless stream of promises and said sincerely.
The old man's words were all good, all one-sided, with some lies mixed in. For example, he said the sect master was about to break through, creating a false impression of prosperity.
In other words, Elder Qu was not clear about the relationship between Master Wuwei and Chen Luo, otherwise he would definitely have said it differently.
"Too."
After hearing this, Elder Qu decided not to continue the topic.
Chen Luo had indeed just made a breakthrough not long ago. When others asked him to stabilize his realm, he could not force them to agree.
Return to Wudao Peak.
Chen Luo arrived at the cemetery at the back mountain again.
He would definitely come to this place less and less often in the future. When he came back before, Elder Qu had suggested that he move to Tianming Peak first, where the elder-level training room could be used for free.
Chen Luo chose to refuse this short-term benefit.
If he really took the benefits, it would not be so easy to leave later. It was because the sect master was not in good condition now, otherwise, with the style of the Shenhu Xianmen, they would definitely force him to stay.
Boom boom boom.
Not long after I came back and sat down, there was a knock on the door.
"Uncle Master, Uncle Master, help me."
Chen Luo scanned with his spiritual sense, frowned, and then his figure flashed and appeared directly at the door.
Ding Xiaoxia, who was knocking on the door, suddenly realized that Chen Luo was already saving people. Huang Ying, who was unconscious, was seriously injured. In addition to her physical injuries, her soul was also injured. She must have used a magical power like blood escape. In other words, Chen Luo had built his foundation, and another person might not be able to save her.
"What's going on?"
After taking the pill, Chen Luo used his spiritual sense to help her sort out her pain and relieve her injuries. For Chen Luo, Junior Sister Huang Ying was one of his few good friends in the sect. When he first joined the sect, he was able to improve his cultivation quickly, which was inseparable from Huang Ying's help.
"I don't know either. I took my sister to see Master before, but Master didn't open the door. Then my sister woke up and asked me to find Uncle Master."
Ding Xiaoxia said stutteringly.
Chen Luo is now a foundation-building cultivator, and everyone in Wudao Peak knows this. Normally, no one dares to approach the back mountain, but if it weren't for saving his senior sister on his back, he would never have dared to come here.
"I see."
Chen Luo brought Huang Ying in, and during this short while, the medicinal power of the elixir in his body had already dissolved.
Huang Ying opened her eyes dazedly and was startled at first. After seeing Chen Luo's face clearly, she grabbed his sleeve immediately.
"Brother, save Sister Shen!"
"No hurry, take your time."
Chen Luo stretched out his hand and passed a wisp of spiritual energy to Huang Ying, which instantly calmed down her body.
"On the way back with Senior Sister Shen, we met five robbery cultivators."
Outside the Immortal Gate.
The five disciples who were cultivating the Tribulation Realm gathered together, their faces looking extremely grim.
After spending a lot of energy and paying a huge price, they finally snatched Senior Sister Shen away, but unfortunately her other accomplice ran away. In this case, the matter will definitely be reported to the sect, and it will not be so easy to deal with.
"We only managed to snatch 200 spirit stones, which is not even enough for the bribe!"
"Let's get it together and pass this level."
The leading robber was silent for a long time and then proposed a plan.
"I came here to practice robbery because I was poor. Now I haven't gotten any advantage yet, but I have to ask for it from others." When they heard that they had to take spirit stones, several people were unhappy.
"Do you think I'm willing? If you don't make arrangements, you can just wait for the law enforcement disciples to come to your door."
A murderous look appeared on the face of the leading robber.
Not only were his companions angry when he failed to grab the resources, he was even more angry. The most troublesome thing was that he had not yet dealt with this trouble, which meant that he would get into other troubles in the future.
A typical case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken.
"Didn't we rob a few people before? Take out all the things, without bleeding, and let's finish the game together."
When they thought about the troubles they would face later, several people felt annoyed.
After collecting money, several people handed over all the things in their hands to the leader. It must be said that the income of the robbery repair is really good. When five people collect money, the value immediately goes up. Especially there are several kinds of spiritual medicines in it, even the cultivators at the perfect stage of Qi Refining will be tempted when they see it.
"I'm going back to the sect first. Please be quiet for now."
The leading cultivator returned to the Shenhu Immortal Gate with the things.
Half a day later.
The leader of the robbery cultivators returned to Yaowang Peak and found out from others that the situation was more complicated than he had imagined. The female cultivator that the five of them had robbed had a good friend, who was Elder Chen who had just been promoted to the foundation-building stage not long ago.
Upon hearing this result, the leader of the Jie Xiu was struck by lightning.
The first reaction is to run away.
Fortunately, they held back at the last moment. Running away is definitely not an option. Even if the five Qi-refining cultivators ran to death, they could not outrun the Foundation-building Immortal Cultivator. The opponent could chase them to death with a flying sword. Finding a place to hide is not an option either. There are countless tracking-type magical powers. Hiding is just waiting to die.
After understanding the situation, they gathered some spirit stones and used the connections of the robbery leader's family to successfully meet the master of Yaowang Peak, his cheap master.
"You really are causing me trouble."
The master of Yaowang Peak sat beside the alchemy furnace, looked at the tributes coming up from below, glanced at them and threw them aside.
"Please, Master, save me."
The leader of the robbers knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
The master of Yaowang Peak was old after all, and the boy was an inner sect disciple he had accepted, so he let him go after scolding him a few words.
"Did you kill the remaining female cultivator?"
"No."
The leader of the robbers hurriedly shook his head, feeling fortunate that he had held back.
"Then release the person. It will be easy if no one is killed. I will help you get through this disaster. From now on."
"From now on, our Situ family's medicine garden will be under your name."
The leader of the robbery cultivators gritted his teeth and contributed the family medicine garden.
The head of Yaowang Peak showed a satisfied expression when he heard this. In his opinion, this matter was not a big deal. No one was killed. He could solve it by showing up to save face. He believed that the newly promoted Elder Chen would not be ignorant of etiquette.
After all, he is just a person who has just broken through the foundation-building stage. How can he make such a big fuss?
