Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Should I take this Bigu Pill before or after meals? ...
Well, what is the East called?
Meng Caiqing reminded quietly, but unfortunately her voice was too strong and everyone could hear her saying, "It's Senior Sister."
Bai Lu looked at Ning Yanhu and blinked, "Senior Sister..."
Ning Yanhu wanted to curse at her, but when he saw Bai Lu's misty green eyes and her weird but playful plush clothes, he just smiled and said, "You're so funny, let's go."
Ning Yanhu flipped through the booklet in his hand as he walked and found Bai Lu's registration form. These were all filled out by themselves when they were serving tea after passing a level.
Ning Yanhu was first shocked by Bai Lu's poor handwriting, then he saw the content. Bai Lu filled in human for race, "Bai Lu, are you a pure human?"
Xuanshan is mainly populated by humans, but it does not ban foreigners. However, most foreigners are more accustomed to going to places where there are many of their own kind. When everyone saw Bai Lu's eyes and clothes, they thought he had foreign blood. Unexpectedly, Bai Lu was registered as a human.
"Do you have some alien blood? Your parents are both human?"
"Yes, all of us have been humans for eighteen generations. The color of my eyes has changed because my ancestors lived in different regions." Bai Lu was sure that no matter whether it was his paternal or maternal line, his ancestors did not have any strange bloodline mixed in.
Ning Yanhu looked at her hometown again. It was a place called "Yanjing", which was unheard of in her experience. "Where is Yanjing?"
Bai Lu thought for a moment before answering cautiously, "It's very far away." It was half of his hometown, and also the address for the meeting before this time travel.
The explanations for the eye color and hometown are quite normal, and should not be considered strange in the world of immortal cultivation. He feels that he has no major flaws so far, haha.
Ning Yanhu nodded and said, "Oh, a remote place in the mortal world."
In fact, if Bai Lu didn't explain in detail, Ning Yanhu would just think that it was some kind of adventure.
The world of immortal cultivation is not short of various legends. Bai Lu may really be just a talented mortal from a small town. No wonder he doesn't know as much about the world of immortal cultivation and the Xuanshan Immortal Sect as others.
Thinking of this, Ning Yanhu said: "Many disciples have already explored the method of cultivating immortals before entering Xuanshan. Some are passed down from their families, some practice randomly on their own, and some may have some encounters of their own, but most of them do not enter the realm and only linger in the Qi Refining stage.
"Let me remind you that there may be some geniuses among you, but most of them need to rebuild their foundations. Your master will be able to adjust them by then."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
It's normal. When you go to a prestigious school, you have to lay the foundation again.
"There is no Qi Refining in the Nine Realms. Those are just the level of body building. The real first realm is still the foundation building." Ning Yanhu saw that Bai Lu was listening attentively (actually with great effort), and he was more convinced that Bai Lu didn't know much about the world of immortal cultivation. He didn't know if he would regret asking Jian Zun to be his master in the future. "Bai Lu, do you know the next eight realms?"
Bai Lu had no idea. She carefully searched through the shattered fragments in her memory: "Uh, incarnation? Nascent Soul? Tribulation?"
Ning Yanhu was silent. "None of them are right! Where did you hear this?"
Bai Lu: “…”
That doesn't make sense.
"From the beginning of 'foundation building', passing the 'mysterious gate', one can open all the orifices and open the purple palace, and then 'listen to thunder' and see the power of heaven, and then go up to 'patrolling the sky'. Only a few cultivators in the world can reach the great perfection at this stage, patrolling the stars in the sky and observing the network of the earth, and have a deeper understanding of heaven and earth. After that, they are like the gods in the eyes of ordinary people, that is, 'flying immortals' and 'returning to the gods'. This is a state that cannot be killed. Even if they fall, they will still have roots after reincarnation."
Many people present already knew about these realms, but they still listened attentively. After all, the situation was very different now, and they couldn't help but look forward to the future.
“Finally, it’s Not Submitting, Not Being Ignorant and Not Returning, collectively known as the Three Not Realms. Once you break through the Three Not Realms, you will truly ascend to become an immortal and never return.” Ning Yanhu said to the end, not surprisingly seeing that everyone was becoming more and more yearning.
Bai Lu was caught in the middle, thinking of her mentor, and raised her hand and asked, "Big Sister, what realm is my master in?"
Ning Yanhu said: "Logically speaking, Master Huo should be in the Feixian realm."
Bai Lu didn't understand, "What do you mean by reasonable?"
Liang Mangu had done a lot of homework, and who hadn't heard the story of Juntian Sword Master when they were young? He answered quickly, "Because Juntian Sword Master has never lost since he became famous. He is good at beating enemies of higher levels. He has no rivals with his Mokong Sword, and his swordsmanship has reached perfection. There is an unconfirmed legend that even if he faced an ancestor in the Three Unskilled Realms, the Sword Master would not lose. He exchanged his immortal fate for combat power."
Bai Lu originally chose Juntian Sword Master as her mentor because of a clue related to herself. After hearing about his deeds many times, she became more curious.
"You know a lot." Ning Yanhu continued to talk as he walked. When he said the last sentence, he just arrived at the temporary accommodation for new disciples, a group of wooden houses.
Probably taking into consideration the fact that the cultivation base of the new disciples is so weak as to be negligible, this place is at the foot of the mountain. Although it is a bit far from the main peak, it is surrounded by bamboo forests and flowing water, and the scenery is very beautiful.
The new disciples who had gone through the three-level trial felt a sense of relaxation after the high pressure, as if their minds were suddenly enlightened, and they felt that the air was especially fresh.
Although the wooden house looked natural, after entering, she found that the temperature was just right. Bai Lu touched the wood and found that it was the wood that was emitting temperature and adding warmth.
Bai Lu's eyes lit up. You guys in the world of immortal cultivation have so many fresh materials.
"You rest here. Someone will bring you food and supplies for new disciples." Ning Yanhu arranged, and called the top three disciples out to take care of them. Standing in the corridor, he said, "Cai Qing, although you have chosen a place to go, you still have to stay here for a few days to learn the rules of the sect. The same goes for the two of you."
Bai Lu was very disappointed, and there seemed to be an invisible tail hanging down behind her, "Me too? Can't I go to my master right away?"
He was so impatient to find out the whereabouts of the silk book that he had to wait.
"No matter how much you admire me, there's no need to rush. Your 'Master' hasn't agreed yet." Ning Yanhu's mouth twitched, and he said, "As for Liang Mangu, I see you are also prepared. If you still don't understand something, you can come and ask me. I have two words for you."
She looked at Meng Caiqing, "Junior sister, you have great ambitions, but you need to be more clear-minded and calm."
Meng Caiqing nodded, thoughtfully.
Ning Yanhu looked at Liang Mangu again and said, "You have excellent physique, but you have many distracting thoughts."
"Thank you for your advice, senior sister." Liang Mangu smiled awkwardly and bowed, but it was not known whether he listened or not.
Finally, it’s Bailu.
"You are an extremely talented person, but..." Ning Yanhu said, and pointed his finger at Bai Lu's head. Her long black hair was automatically tied up, and her smooth and bright face was revealed without any obstruction.
Ning Yanhu couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. It looked better this way.
Bai Lu touched his hair tied into a bun, feeling very uncomfortable. It also made him look like a wizard without any mystery. "Master sister, you tied it so tightly..."
"That's what we should do. For a student, it's too untidy to let your hair down in a bun." Ning Yanhu saw Bai Lu touching her hair a lot, "Okay, stop messing it up."
"Oh." Bai Lu withdrew her hand aggrievedly.
"?" Liang Mangu was puzzled. Why did the message Brother Bai received differ from what they received? Is that right?
"Oh, the eldest sister has personally brought the younger brothers and sisters here." A middle-aged man led some servants to deliver meals and bowed to Ning Yanhu with a smile.
Although he was older than Ning Yanhu, he was only an outer disciple. Moreover, as the sect master's disciple, Ning Yanhu had to take care of many mundane affairs. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was his immediate superior, so he was very polite.
The three of them looked at Ning Yanhu eagerly, hoping that she would make an introduction.
Ning Yanhu glanced at him and said, "This is the person in charge of the outer sect. You can call him Senior Brother Dai."
Master Dai was also responsible for taking care of the new disciples. When he learned that Meng Caiqing had already decided to enter Cang Yuntai and become the master's disciple, he couldn't help but smile: "It was decided so quickly. God will give great responsibilities to this person..."
Having said that, he suddenly glanced at Ning Yanhu and said quickly: "Cangyuntai is the most leisurely and noble place in our Xuanshan Immortal Sect. Junior sister is blessed."
Meng Caiqing: “?”
Why does it feel weird?
"Have you chosen these two?" Master Dai looked at the other two with a smile. The first and second place would both be true disciples with great prospects.
"Junior Brother Bai Lu hasn't made up his mind yet, he just hopes to become Uncle Huo's disciple." Ning Yanhu said, "Liang Man Gu hasn't made up his mind yet."
In fact, it was the norm for the top three to think carefully and even postpone the decision like Liang Mangu did.
"Uncle Huo?" Master Dai scratched his head. "Is it Uncle Huo who is in charge of the alchemy room? Can he also accept disciples?"
Bai Lu asked blankly, "My master still wants to light a fire?"
How come a peak master still has to work two jobs?
"It's not that one!" Ning Yanhu said with some understanding. The sect master was also so surprised not long ago. "It's Meifeng Juntian Sword Master, Uncle Huo."
Director Dai opened his mouth wide...
He would rather guess that Bai Lu wanted to learn how to make fire, but he never thought that Bai Lu wanted to go to Dianmei Peak. Coming here and being able to join the Xuanshan Immortal Sect, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a child of destiny. How could he cut off his own path to immortality?
Master Dai respected her, but he really couldn't understand Bai Lu's calmness. After all, all cultivators in the world seek immortality and the path to immortality.
Bai Lu wanted to tell the truth. The world of immortal cultivation and their magic world have similarities. Immortality is a common topic for mankind, and there is nothing new under the sun.
In the field of alchemy, there is also a legendary object that can grant immortality, called the Philosopher's Stone.
Bai Lu had naturally studied alchemy, but the success rate of this thing was probably about the same as ascending to heaven in the world of immortal cultivation.
Maybe, it would be enough for him to fight to the death with just one?
"Don't be like that. I can't be the only one who wants to enter Dianmei Peak. I just really want to be a handsome swordsman like my master." Bai Lu said guiltily.
"It may not be impossible to succeed him, but it is true that there has never been one before." Ning Yanhu had already accepted it and said leisurely, "After all, Master Uncle is still the youngest among the peak masters. How can ordinary people at this age be qualified to accept disciples?"
"How young is my master exactly?" Bai Lu asked, remembering the past.
"More than 200 years old." Ning Yanhu said. This is really very young in the world of immortal cultivation. Moreover, Jian Zun is the last disciple of the ancestor who has ascended to heaven in the sect, which means he is the youngest in that generation. Originally, in terms of age, he is about the same generation as Ning Yanhu.
"More than 200?"
Ning Yanhu saw Bai Lu open her eyes slightly wide, and was indeed shocked by the Sword Master's youth.
Bailu: I'm already this old! Amazing!
However, the eldest sister seems to be 380 years old, older than her uncle. The age inflation of cultivators is also quite serious.
Well, if that’s the case, then the prophecy in his family has a clue—everyone here could live to be 200 years old. Could it be that his partner is actually in the world of immortal cultivation?
But the bad news is that almost everyone can live to be 200 years old, and anyone can be his partner, which is almost like a false prophecy...
As Bai Lu thought about it, her thoughts drifted... into the house.
Director Dai took a look and said with a smile, "Are you hungry? Our Xuanshan Immortal Sect is also famous for its food. We have plenty of mountain products, and today's Huanzhen mushroom is incredible."
Liang Mangu said casually: "How can the Huanzhen Mushroom be so great?" This thing also grows in the mountains of his hometown. It is said to be a magical herb, and there are quite a lot of them.
"Oh," said Dai, "this tree grew on the thousand-year-old spruce tree at the entrance of the clan leader's residence. Maybe it has some fairy spirit in it."
Hearing this, Bai Lu, who knew that the East was particular about auspiciousness, immediately said to Liang Man Gu, "Then you should eat more. Didn't you say you wanted to be the leader?"
Director Dai: “?”
Meng Caiqing muttered: "Senior Brother Liang also has ambitions to rise to the top?"
Liang Mangu looked at Bai Lu in horror: "..."
You! I just howled a few times during the trial to cheer myself up!
"Oh, really?" Ning Yanhu said expressionlessly, "Then you can eat more. This thing that grew out of my master's door can also be considered a mushroom."
Bai Lu, Liang Man Gu, and Meng Cai Qing: "Hahahahahahahaha!"
Director Dai: “?”
Who can explain it to him?
Liang Mangu wiped his sweat secretly, fortunately the senior sister didn't care about it.
Bai Lu walked in and saw chicken stewed with mushrooms on the table. The fresh and fragrant smell filled her nose.
Manager Dai was explaining, "They are all free-range chickens from the bamboo forest. They have been stewed for an hour. Look, they are very rich. I tell you, the mushroom meat has absorbed the essence of the chicken soup. It must be so tender that you want to swallow your tongue along with it."
Ning Yanhu and his companions hadn't returned, so the other disciples were reluctant to start eating. Those who came to cultivate were very determined. Only Bai Lu, who ranked first in the trial, had an unrestrained greed in his eyes...
"By the way, here are the fasting pills for everyone." Dai, the head of the shop, said with a smile, holding out a pile of porcelain bottles, "Come on, one bottle for each person, choose whichever you want to take."
He quietly glanced at the disciples who had not yet chosen their lineage.
Haha, this is the moment when they are most relaxed. No one would have thought that another test has begun for them.
In fact, Master Dai had taken on the job of Kaiyang Peak. The people of Kaiyang Peak were all Dharma practitioners, and they were also in charge of treasures and classics. For example, the sect master, Immortal Boluan, was from Kaiyang Peak. Therefore, the disciples of Kaiyang Peak were required to have good character and avoid excessive desires. So he had to observe them in daily trivial matters to see who was a good seedling of Kaiyang Peak.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, every detail contains hidden challenges, and this is the first one.
Look, faced with the choices and temptations before them, most people still want to put away the fasting pills for later use, since they have just started.
However, every dish that follows is absolutely delicious...
The fasting pills have been delivered to Bai Lu.
Take it on your own?
Bai Lu looked at the food and then at the pills in her hand, with a well-behaved face: "Hello, should I take this Bigu Pill before or after meals?"
