After the old man surnamed Ye finished the deal with Han Li, he took him to drive the magic weapon to the main meeting hall to reply to Zhong Lingdao, the head of Huangfeng Valley.
Not long after, Han Li stood in front of the huge stone hall tens of meters high, and looked curiously at the several Huangfenggu disciples guarding the door. These people's magic power is much deeper than Han Li's, and at least they have the appearance of more than ten levels of basic skills. Han Li couldn't help being dumbfounded, and took another look at the strength of the immortal cultivators of this sect.
When the old man surnamed Ye came here with him just now, he asked Han Li to stay outside the hall first, waiting for the summoning of Master Zhong, while he walked in by himself. This created an embarrassing situation for Han Li to stand alone outside the hall, and made Han Li complain for a long time.
Fortunately, after a while, a middle-aged man in white came out from inside. This person came directly to Han Li and said coldly, "Come with me, the head has summoned you."
Then, ignoring Han Li's reaction, he walked back on his own. Han Li smiled wryly to himself. It seemed that he, a ninth-level immortal cultivator in the Qi refining period, didn't take it into the eyes of the other party at all, and he didn't even want to say a word to him!
Although he was very dissatisfied with this person in his heart, Han Li was very aware of his weight here, so he obediently followed closely behind and walked into the hall.
After passing through three gates guarded by disciples in a row, Han Li saw Zhong Lingdao, the head of Huangfenggu, a middle-aged man with a long beard.
And on both sides of the hall, there are more than a dozen other people in different clothes. When Han Li came in, these people looked at Han Li for a while, but seeing that Han Li's appearance was ordinary and not attractive, they turned their eyes away in disinterest. The old man surnamed Ye and the younger brother Wang were also sitting among them.
"My little friend is called Han Li!" Master Zhong asked serenely.
"Yes, disciple Han Li, I have met the master!" Han Li seemed to be sincerely going forward to pay homage.
"You don't need to be too polite! Since the little friend can come here with the promotion order, the head of this book will definitely abide by the rules set by the sages and accept the little friend under the door." Zhong Lingdao smiled kindly like a spring breeze, and put his clothes on The sleeve flicked lightly.
However, Han Li felt that his body, which was about to lower himself, was gently supported by an invisible soft force, and he couldn't continue to pay homage. It surprised him and made him feel a little more in awe of the head.
"It stands to reason that apart from joining our sect, you are also eligible to take the Foundation Establishment Pill. But before that, I heard from Junior Brother Ye that you gave up this Foundation Establishment Pill and gave it to someone else. Is this true?" Master Zhong didn't talk nonsense, but directly stated the purpose of calling him into the palace.
"Yes, master! This disciple feels that his aptitude is low, and taking this Foundation Establishment Pill is too extravagant. Let's give such a precious thing to other senior brothers who need it more!"
After Han Li said this, he still felt a faint heartache in his heart. This is the Foundation Establishment Pill! It's not those ordinary pills that you can eat as snacks!
If such a Foundation Establishment Pill is placed in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it would be no wonder it didn't cause a lot of blood and rain! And although he had his own mysterious vial as a reliance, Han Li really didn't have much confidence that he could completely imitate a panacea like Zhuji Pill! It made him say this very wrongly.
Han Li was very reluctant in his heart, but on the surface he had a very obedient and respectful expression, which satisfied most of the people in the hall.
"Okay! My head is very pleased that Xiaoyou Han has such a heart. But don't worry, my head will not let you make this sacrifice in vain!" After finishing speaking, Zhong Lingdao turned his head and faced The old man surnamed Ye.
"Junior Brother Ye! The Foundation Establishment Pill that Han Xiaoyou gave up will still be taken by Ling's nephew and grandson, but Junior Brother must make up for the loss of Xiaoyou, and he must be satisfied!" Zhong Lingdao said solemnly.
"Hehe! Sect Leader, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy Martial Nephew Han!" The old man couldn't help being elated when he saw that the matter had been successfully completed as he had imagined, and he responded repeatedly.
Seeing the old man's appearance, Zhong Lingdao twitched his long beard and smiled. This time, the problem was solved so easily with the best of both worlds, and Master Zhong heaved a sigh of relief.
"The matter of Zhu Jidan is settled like this, and Han Xiaoyou will be a disciple of this sect from today. Brother Wang, you arrange the residence of Martial Nephew Han, and by the way, tell me about the rules of this valley, and let him first teach him the exercises. The disciple is practicing, and if he has outstanding performance, he will be promoted!" Zhong Lingdao told Junior Brother Wang without revealing what he said.
"Follow orders, Sect Leader!" Junior Brother Wang stood up and obeyed orders.
So this Uncle Wang immediately took Han Li to the outside of the hall, and began to tell him some rules and regulations of Huangfeng Valley and introduce some common sense things. Han Li listened intently along the way, and had a more or less preliminary understanding of Huangfeng Valley.
There are more than 10,000 disciples in Huangfeng Valley, among which the disciples in the Qi refining stage accounted for more than 90%, and there are only a few hundred disciples in the foundation stage. These talents are the backbone of Huangfeng Valley.
As for the alchemy masters on the top, there are only a few people, and they are basically in retreat for many years, and they no longer care about things in the valley. Unless there is a major event related to the life and death of Huang Fenggu, even the head of Zhong himself will not be able to see these people's faces.
As for the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the valley, it is a master-uncle of Master Zhong and others. It is said that he is more than 900 years old. The baby comes out of the body and travels thousands of miles. He is a living fairy on land. However, this old man is no longer in the valley, and he no longer crosses the border of the country, but has traveled around other countries, and no one knows when he will return to the valley.
And there are so many disciples in the Qi refining period in the valley, of course it is impossible for everyone to take the Foundation Establishment Pill! Only the most outstanding and most qualified disciples will receive this honor.
Therefore, every ten years, disciples under the age of 30 in the valley will undergo a series of selections, and the competition is no less fierce than the external Ascension to Immortals Conference. Basically, only those true immortal cultivators who have practiced the basic skills to the eleventh or even the twelfth level can stand out and be qualified to take the foundation pill.
Even among the hundreds of best disciples who were strictly selected in this way, after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, only twenty or thirty of them were able to pass the Foundation Establishment and enter the Foundation Establishment Stage. For the others, at most, their mana has been improved a step further, and the basic skills have been refined to the peak, but they are still stuck in the Qi refining stage.
So naturally, the disciples in the valley were divided into three classes.
The lowest level are those disciples who have never even taken the Foundation Establishment Pill. These people are the most numerous in the valley, and they are also the group of people with the weakest mana. Not only do these people usually do the most chores and spend the least time in cultivation, but they are also the people with the lowest status in the valley, although they have a very imposing title "deacon disciple".
The ones with a slightly better status than them are those disciples who have taken the Foundation Establishment Pill but have not yet entered the Foundation Establishment Stage. The basic skills of these people have basically reached the peak, and their mana is much stronger than those of the deacon disciples. They can even use some simple intermediate skills, so they assume the responsibility of leading and controlling many deacon disciples , usually referred to as "consular disciples".
And the highest status and the best treatment are the disciples who can enter the Foundation Establishment Stage. Only those darlings of heaven can be regarded as real cultivators, and they are real monks who have embarked on the road of cultivating immortals.
After these people succeed in building the foundation, they will be allowed to find a place with sufficient aura in the entire Taiyue Mountains. They can practice alone in a single cave, without having to undertake any chores and just concentrate on cultivation. Rare materials and a large number of spirit stones to help them speed up their cultivation. Their only obligation is to help them when their sect encounters a great enemy, and they must not disobey their orders.
In addition to these disciples, Huang Fenggu also has various stewards who manipulate the real power in the sect.
These stewards are all disciples who have entered the Foundation Establishment Stage and practiced for a period of time, knowing that they have no hope of entering the Alchemy Stage. They voluntarily give up continuing to practice, and are willing to be responsible for the special management of idle and miscellaneous things in the valley. The old man surnamed Ye and the dozen or so people in the meeting in the hall were all in charge.
In fact, strictly speaking, the head of Zhong Lingdao is also a senior steward, but he is in charge of the overall planning of the entire sect, and is the steward of other stewards.
Those who really determine the survival of the sect are those monks above the alchemy stage who ignore foreign affairs. It is because of their existence that those evil spirits and heretics dare not bully them, and Huang Fenggu can stand as one of the seven immortal sects till now. Otherwise, Huang Fenggu, who is one of the Seven Great Immortals, would have been wiped out countless times by those monsters with profound mana.
Of course, the above-mentioned content is not the original words of this Uncle Wang, but Han Li secretly summed it up from the other party's words and insinuations.
This gave Han Li a clear understanding of his own environment and status, and it was of great help to him in getting along with other fellow students in the future.
