Ever since Li Yan heard that gentle voice when he entered the sect, and then saw Wei Chongran's humble face, and later the process of becoming his apprentice, he always inadvertently confused Wei Chongran with Strategist Ji.
Although the two men's body shapes were so different, one fat and one thin, and they could not overlap at all, he just had a feeling of déjà vu.
So he had the idea that even though he became his disciple, he still had to bow his head under someone's eaves, because he was so weak now. But he never had any respect for his master in his heart. He didn't know if there was a knife hidden behind that humble face.
But at this time Wei Chongran called him up, and he had to bite the bullet and get up.
When he walked up, everyone below was looking at him. They also didn't know what the master was doing. Only the master's wife seemed to know what was going to be done next. Looking at Li Yan's nervous expression, she couldn't help but smile.
Her smile was like a breeze blowing through the shade of summer trees, and her red lips slightly opened.
"The little guy still looks a little scared."
Wei Chongran also noticed Li Yan's expression, and his sincere voice rang out.
"It's just to check your aptitude so that I can choose a technique for you later!"
He still knew very little about the cultivation of this new disciple. Even his background was told by Li Yan himself, and his qualifications were told by Senior Brother Tingfeng. Unlike other disciples, each of them had detailed information reported to him by the subordinate sect or tested himself before joining.
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Yan's wrist. The fat man who was just like an ordinary mortal suddenly became extremely fierce. When Li Yan was still dazed and didn't react, he felt a pure warm sun aura invading his body.
The spiritual power came suddenly and disappeared quickly. When Li Yan looked up, the spiritual power had disappeared without a trace, and the pressure on Li Yan was also gone.
Wei Chongran let go of Li Yan's wrist, his face thoughtful. Although he had heard about Li Yan's qualifications, he would not doubt that Senior Brother Feng was lying about this matter, but he always held on to that possibility.
The result was, of course, somewhat disappointing. These were mixed spiritual roots, real mixed spiritual roots, which were unique in the Wuliang Sect. Even the menial disciples would not accept such spiritual roots.
Wei Chongran pondered for a while and then smiled.
"Li Yan, your spiritual roots are best of the water attribute, so don't practice the introductory exercises of Lingchong Peak that you practiced before. Let your senior brother take you to the treasure pavilion of this peak and choose a water attribute exercise and a few immortal arts. This will be more suitable for your practice.
After you have chosen, you can have the senior brother explain and teach you first. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me directly, okay?"
Li Yan was stunned after hearing this. It turned out that they were going to help him choose a martial arts technique. Although he didn't know how to practice the martial arts of the sect, since others had said so, he certainly couldn't say no.
Moreover, even if he didn't want the skills, he needed the magic arts. Ever since he saw Master Ji perform the "Fireball Technique" and "Wood Thorn Technique", he had been yearning for the magic arts.
Li Yan actually didn't know about Wei Chongran's care for him. In all major sects, the introductory Qi Condensation techniques like his were taught by senior brothers who were at the ninth or tenth level of Qi Condensation. They were the senior brothers who passed on the techniques and specialized in helping the beginners.
It would be a waste of talent for Li Wuyi, who is in the Foundation Establishment Stage, to teach him. Even if his seventh senior brother Lin Daqiao, who is in the Qi Condensation Stage, were to teach him, there would be no problem at all.
However, the higher the level of the explanation given by the cultivator, the more you will understand, so Wei Chongran told Li Yan that he could come and ask him if he had any questions. Such treatment is extremely rare in the sect.
This is also because Wei Chongran knew that Li Yan’s qualifications were not good, so he wanted to give him the best support.
Of course Li Yan didn't know all this. He thought it was normal for a master to teach his apprentice. Besides, only the eldest senior brother was allowed to teach him here, so he thanked him respectfully on the surface.
"Thank you, Master."
"That's it for today. You can go away. Wuyi will take Li Yan to arrange accommodation, and then go to the Treasure Pavilion to select skills and magic."
"Master, Big Brother, let me take Little Junior Brother with me. I can still do these things. When Little Junior Brother starts practicing, he can go to Big Brother to solve his doubts."
At this time, a crisp voice rang out.
Everyone looked and saw that it was Lin Daqiao with long arms and legs. He had stood up and walked towards Li Yan.
Wei Chongran understood the whole story as soon as he saw it. Lin Daqiao joined the sect relatively late and had not yet broken through to the foundation-building stage. Among this group of disciples, he was the only registered disciple. Now he must have found a companion, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Wei Chongran smiled and nodded.
"Hahaha... that's fine, Wuyi, you can make some arrangements."
After saying this, she glanced at the beautiful woman in white palace attire beside her, and they both stood up at the same time and walked out the door, leaving only a group of disciples standing up to see them off.
After the two of them disappeared from the door, a pleasant voice was heard.
"Daqiao, why are you calling me Junior Brother? You are asking yourself to grow taller."
It was the fourth senior sister Miao Wangqing in the goose yellow long skirt, who was looking at Lin Daqiao with a joking expression on her face.
Before Li Yan came, Lin Daqiao was the youngest registered disciple here, and everyone called him "Junior Brother", which made him feel that he was not grown up in the eyes of others, which made him quite unhappy. Now that Li Yan had just arrived, he couldn't wait to take off this title.
Lin Daqiao had walked up to Li Yan, put her arm around Li Yan's shoulders enthusiastically, and turned to look at the fourth senior sister.
"Isn't it? You still call me 'little junior brother', so shouldn't I call Junior Brother Li Senior Brother Li?"
After saying that, he winked at Li Yan again.
Li Yan had been uncomfortable with being so close to other people since the incident with Master Ji. But seeing that this Seventh Senior Brother was so familiar with him, he couldn't pry his hand away for a moment and could only smile.
Miao Wangqing saw Lin Daqiao's smug look, then looked at the others who were all looking at her. She secretly glanced at Li Wuyi and puffed out her breasts, making her figure look more plump and round. Just as she was about to continue speaking, another voice rang out.
"Fourth Senior Sister, let's go!"
At this time, the short-haired Sixth Senior Sister Gong Chenying stood up, making her figure look even taller and more fit. She just glanced at Li Yan again, then pulled Miao Wangqing's dress and walked out.
"Junior sister, junior sister, I still have something to teach Daqiao, don't leave in such a hurry."
Miao Wangqing was pulled outside by the cold Gong Chenying, still sounding somewhat reluctant.
"Really? Are you sure you mean Daqiao?"
They had already reached the door at this time, and the cold voice could be heard faintly, but it seemed that the voice deliberately emphasized some words a lot.
This time, Miao Wangqing didn't say anything else. She covered Gong Chenying's mouth in panic and pulled her away.
Only three people were left in the room. Li Yan was confused, but he clearly felt that the arm of his seventh senior brother, who was holding him, was shaking constantly, and he was holding back a smile. The next moment, Lin Daqiao's expression changed, and he turned back to look at Li Wuyi with a sad face, and then whispered.
"People can't be too handsome, otherwise they won't dare to go out every other day!"
Li Wuyi touched his nose with a depressed look on his face.
At this time, the second senior brother, who was a little too sturdy, also walked up to Li Yan and patted Li Yan on the shoulder.
"Eighth Junior Brother, come sit in my courtyard when you have time. You can ask me any questions you have. You must practice as soon as possible so that you can learn from Second Junior Brother. Sigh!"
When he spoke first, he was looking at Li Yan, but in the end he glanced at Li Wuyi on the side, sighed, turned around and walked out of the lobby.
When he slapped him, Li Yan felt as if a big bear had hit him. Half of his body suddenly became numb and he couldn't help but grimace.
He is only fifteen years old now, and he feels that everyone here speaks very strangely, but it seems that they are talking about the eldest brother.
"Second Brother, Second Brother, you have to call him Junior Brother, Junior Brother!"
Lin Daqiao, who was standing by, shouted at the big man's back.
"Ahem, Ba... Junior Brother, your Second Senior Brother is a cultivation fanatic. When you reach a higher level, you have to... well, how should I put it? Your Second Senior Brother might prefer to discuss cultivation techniques and immortal arts with you."
Li Wuyi coughed dryly and said to Li Yan, he really called Li Yan "junior brother", Li Yan thought to himself.
"It's just that this Second Senior Brother might like to compete with others!"
But at this moment, he didn’t take it seriously. Only God knows when he will build his foundation.
Li Wuyi looked at Lin Daqiao again and saw that the other party was still looking at the door, muttering to himself.
"Hehehe... Daqiao, take Junior Brother to arrange accommodation, and then explain the sect's rules.
By the way, it would be best if you tell your junior brother all the knowledge you just learned. You have just heard about his background, and he does not know much about the world of cultivation, so the more detailed the better.
Well, let me be the one to choose the technique. By the time you have made all the arrangements, it will probably be evening, so I will go find my junior brother tomorrow morning."
He let Lin Daqiao be responsible for popularizing introductory knowledge to Li Yan, and he was relieved about this. But later he took into account that this junior brother had an eccentric personality and choosing a martial arts method was a big deal, so it would be better for him to be responsible for it himself. It must be said that he was a very thoughtful person.
"Okay, don't worry, Big Brother!"
Lin Daqiao couldn't help but smile as she listened to Li Wuyi calling Li Yan "Junior Brother" more and more fluently.
"Okay, Junior Brother, I'll go back first. I think it will be evening by the time I finish all these things today. You should have a good rest and get familiar with the environment. I'll come to you tomorrow morning to choose the skills and magic arts."
Li Wuyi took everything into consideration and gave Li Yan another reminder.
"Okay, senior brother, thank you for troubling you today!" Li Yan said politely.
Then the three of them left the lobby and walked separately outside the lobby.
Li Yan walked behind the main hall they had just come out of, and Lin Daqiao led him all the way up the mountain, talking as they walked.
Li Yan felt that Lin Daqiao was a talkative person, but she left a good impression on him. He felt that this person had a simple mind and should be the kind of person who would talk about whatever he thought of. Li Yan would occasionally interject, and Lin Daqiao would answer every question.
In this way, Li Yan easily learned some things about Lin Daqiao.
Lin Daqiao is twenty years old this year. He comes from a third-rate sect in Changkong Continent, which is also under the jurisdiction of the Wuliang Sect. He is in the southwest of the Wuliang Sect, which is dominated by several third-rate sects and there is not even a second-rate sect.
The immortal sect that Lin Daqiao belonged to was one of the best in Changkong Continent. His qualifications were the most outstanding among the several third-rate sects at the time, but he entered the sect relatively late and was not discovered until he was twelve years old.
This was several years earlier than Li Yan's entry into the immortal path. Lin Daqiao reached the second level of Qi Condensation Stage after only one year of training in that third-rate sect, and was regarded as a once-in-a-century prodigy by that third-rate sect.
In the third year, he was promoted to the fifth level of Qi Condensation Stage. Just as the Wuliang Sect was recruiting disciples, he was sent there as well. Unexpectedly, Wei Chongran took a liking to him at first sight and accepted him as a registered disciple.
It has been more than six years since I started practicing this art, and I have already reached the tenth level of the Qi Condensation Stage. I can advance one level almost every year or so.
You know, the further you advance in cultivating immortals, the harder it is to advance. His aptitude is not much inferior to Li Wuyi's. He is currently gearing up to break through to the foundation-building stage.
Li Yan felt strange after hearing this. If the lower sects sent all the good disciples they had worked so hard to find to the upper sects, how could these small sects develop themselves? Then Lin Daqiao's words also made him feel relieved.
It turns out that when the four major sects are recruiting disciples, the subordinate sects do not have to send disciples, but this will mean that the disciples of the subordinate sects will lose the perfect opportunity to become immortals.
Because whether in terms of skills, magic or various cultivation resources, the Wuliang Sect is of course more powerful than they can imagine.
With the little resources they have, even if they pool the strength of the entire sect, there is no hope of supporting a Jindan cultivator in hundreds of years, but with the four major sects, there is such a possibility.
Those who were sent to the four major sects must serve as elders or supreme elders of their own sects after they have established their foundation or formed their golden elixir, but they can continue to practice in the Wuliang Sect.
At this time, the four major sects will also reward their sects with a generous reward for finding disciples with excellent qualifications.
These rewards can only be achieved after decades or even hundreds of years of accumulation for small sects. This will greatly enhance the strength of small sects and enable them to develop rapidly. Why wouldn't the subordinate sects join in
As for why the four major sects did such a thankless task, it was purely due to Li Yan's ignorance.
These immortal sects still belong to the four major sects. The stronger they are, the stronger the four major sects will be. The most crucial point is that their soul lamps after they have established their foundation will remain in the four major sects.
When something happens to the four major sects, they themselves and even the entire sect need to help, otherwise they may end up with the destruction of the lights and the death of people.
Even so, the world of immortal cultivation emphasizes strength. If you can't even build a foundation and die early, it is better to join the four major sects.
However, some ambitious sects that want to develop themselves into a super power are unwilling to send away their good disciples.
The four major sects turned a blind eye to these small shrimps.
They are huge monsters. If you want to shake them, there must be signs. As soon as the signs appear, they will strike at will, and those who harbor ambitious intentions will be wiped out in an instant.
