"There is a fern orchid in my garden with curled leaves. Would you like to give it to me, my wood spirit?"
Wen Ci stood at the edge of the square, leaning on the ground with his wooden staff. A mysterious and powerful force spread out, and the jade sand merged wherever it passed, turning into solid ground again.
"Meet the Sect Master."
The monks came down from the roof one after another and bowed in worship.
Jiang Yuebai opened his eyes wide, and quickly bowed and bowed, "Servant Jiang Yuebai greets the Sect Master."
Wen Ci walked slowly to Jiang Yuebai's side, "The servants have to kneel down and bow."
Jiang Yuebai's heart tightened, and she immediately lifted her skirt and knelt down.
Her arms were held in the air, and Wen Ci's tone became a little gentler. "I am talking about menial tasks. Inner disciples do not need to kneel down. This dress is very beautiful, and it suits the girl's elegance better than the white dress of the inner disciples."
Jiang Yuebai looked up in shock, with confusion and disbelief in his eyes.
Li Jiuchuan laughed and said, "Why don't you thank the Sect Master?"
"But, but I am only here to take the exam to become a spiritual farmer. If I pass the exam, won't I be equivalent to an outer sect disciple?"
Jiang Yuebai was terrified. When she came here, she just wanted to get the status of an outer disciple. Now she was suddenly asked to become an inner disciple. She was always afraid that she would have to pay a price for it.
"You don't have to take things too seriously at such a young age. I noticed you when we were in Yinfeng Gorge five years ago, and I've heard about your experiences over the years. Among the group of you who joined the sect at the same time, only Lu Nanzhi, Xie Jingshan, Shen Huaixi, and Song Zhiang have been able to reach the seventh level of Qi training after five years of practice."
"What's more, you have five spiritual roots, and you are working hard in a place like the Yinshan Mine, where people are eaten without leaving any bones. Not only has your cultivation progress been comparable to the other four, but you have also cultivated your spiritual farming spell to the fifth level. This achievement is worthy of the status of an inner sect disciple."
Jiang Yuebai was naturally happy to be recognized.
"Thank you, Master Yuebai, for your praise. I know I still have some shortcomings and I will work harder in the future."
Jiang Yuebai had a subtle smile in his eyes, and Li Jiuchuan nodded slightly to show his approval and congratulations.
Hong Tao stood behind the crowd with mixed feelings. He never expected that Jiang Yuebai would be promoted from a menial servant to the inner sect so quickly. Even he couldn't help but envy him. He wondered when he would be able to step into the inner sect and become a true elite of the Tianyan Sect.
In the past, Jiang Yuebai relied on him, and from today onwards, he will have to rely on Jiang Yuebai.
The monks from Wanfa Hall were also watching the little servant soaring into the sky. No one looked down on him. They just recalled the power of the three spells and were all convinced.
No matter what kind of spell it is, even if it is the lowest level, to cultivate it to the fifth level, it depends not only on perseverance, but more on understanding.
The threshold of enlightenment is illusory. Some people can achieve enlightenment in one day, while others may never cross that threshold in their entire life.
Counting all the spiritual farmers in Tianyan Sect, Jiang Yuebai is the first one to cultivate the spiritual farming magic to the fifth level. She is still so young and has great potential.
Seeing this, Li Xuanji came out and said, "Sect Master, Junior Sister Jiang is being tested by me today. She and I have a connection. Can you allow her to study the Five Elements Magic with me in the Wanfa Hall? I think she has a great understanding in this area, and I dare not leave her out here to waste her time."
Wen Ci looked at Jiang Yuebai, "Girl, are you willing?"
Jiang Yuebai nodded and said, "Of course I am willing, but I want to learn the art of formation first."
Li Xuanji was about to laugh, but his smile froze on the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't help but glare at Jiang Yuebai.
"You have already mastered the fifth level of the Five Elements spells, and are about to touch the true power of heaven and earth. Why don't you strike while the iron is hot and study the changes and integrate new spells? Why learn the art of formations? What future does the art of formations have?"
"Eh hey hey? Junior Brother Li, I don't like what you said. What do you mean our formation art has no future? It's just right that my nephew wants to learn the formation art. He can come to our formation academy and learn it."
The two were about to start arguing, but Wen Ci raised her hand and the two of them stopped talking in anger.
Wen Ci asked Jiang Yuebai, "You just said... learn first?"
Jiang Yuebai never conceals his ambition in his thirst for knowledge.
"Yes, there are three thousand avenues, I want to see them all."
Wen Ci looked back at Li Jiuchuan and said, "You seemed to have said the same thing to me back then."
Li Jiuchuan laughed, "I am young and ignorant. I am sorry to make you laugh."
Wen Ci looked back at Jiang Yuebai, "Did you see it? He said that he was young and ignorant, and it was impossible for him to see all the three thousand avenues. Do you still want to see it?"
Jiang Yuebai nodded without hesitation, "You have to watch it. Only by watching it can you know how ignorant you are and make yourself less ignorant."
"You can watch it if you want, but I've already given you more than enough today. If I give you more, I'm afraid it will shorten your life. How about I make a deal with you? If you can rank among the top three in the sect's competition in half a year, I will allow you to study at the Wanfa Hall."
"It doesn't matter which academy you are from, as long as you pass the twelve tests, you can study whatever you want. Of course, if you fail, I will punish you severely!"
"Okay! Yuebai thanks the Sect Master." Jiang Yuebai was not afraid at all. He would know if it would succeed after trying it.
"Change your token and go to the Cangshuyuan to get a seventh-grade technique. Every inner sect disciple has one. Jiuchuan, come with me."
Li Jiuchuan and Jiang Yuebai nodded and followed Wen Ci to go ahead.
All the senior brothers and sisters from Wanfa Hall, as well as the uncles, came forward to congratulate Jiang Yuebai. He felt as if he were in a dream and it didn't seem real.
It wasn't until he obtained the spiritual farmer's token and returned to the Internal Affairs Hall that Jiang Yuebai felt a sense of reality.
After Hong Tao brought her back and explained things to her, Ma Feng, who had greeted her at noon, slapped himself left and right on the spot to apologize to Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai didn't ask him to stop, so he kept fanning. It was not until Hong Tao coughed that Jiang Yuebai asked him to stop and go and change the token for her.
"Senior Sister Jiang, here are your tokens, your uniforms, and your standard flying sword. From now on, you can go anywhere in the Tianyan Sect that is not a forbidden area. You can also dress as you like and fly without any restrictions. You will have priority in doing things anywhere."
Ma Feng handed over a long jade plate with a golden talisman array on it.
"Please ask Senior Sister Jiang to take a drop of blood from your brow and inject it into it. This is the life card. All inner sect disciples have it. If you are seriously injured and dying outside, the sect can find your location based on the life card and provide assistance. Don't worry, the life card is strictly managed and has a corresponding jade talisman. If you don't crush the jade talisman to ask for help, the life card cannot track your location."
Hong Tao nodded, Jiang Yuebai took the jade talisman, took the blood from his forehead and injected it into the life plate.
"Inner sect disciples can receive 20 low-grade spirit stones and a bottle of elixir every month. They can have a servant by their side. They must complete a sect mission of level C or above once a year. The rest is up to you. Which of the 36 inner sect peaks do you plan to live in? Do you need to build a new courtyard?"
Ma Feng glanced at Hong Tao, who came over and said, "You are already an inner sect disciple, so you can just focus on your cultivation from now on, and you don't need to farm anymore."
Ma Feng nodded. In the Tianyan Sect, no inner disciple had ever gone to farm. Even if they were short of spirit stones, they would find ways to make it through alchemy, refining equipment and other six arts of cultivation.
Jiang Yuebai held the Spiritual Farmer's token and said with a smile, "If I don't farm, wouldn't it be in vain that I passed the Spiritual Farmer exam? Wouldn't it be in vain that I practiced the Spiritual Farming spells?"
Hong Tao reminded him, "You can have Huaxi Valley if you want it, but the sect stipulates that you need to plant 500 acres of designated spiritual medicine in Huaxi Valley. If there is a major loss, the most serious punishment will be the revocation of your spiritual farming master status and you will never be able to use it again. You can plant the rest of the spiritual fields as you like, and you must hand over 30% of the harvest. The sect will calculate the contribution points, and you can deal with the rest on your own."
Jiang Yuebai thought for a moment, "It is indeed risky to protect 500 acres of spiritual medicine, but the salary of an inner disciple is really not enough. What I am best at is farming, so naturally I have to earn contribution points and spiritual stones by farming, so I will go to Huaxi Valley."
Hong Tao stopped stopping him and let Ma Feng go and handle the formalities.
"Since Elder Tao passed away, most of the spiritual farmers in Huaxi Valley have gone to other valleys managed by spiritual farmers. Huaxi Valley is basically deserted. If you need people, you can issue a recruitment order in the Internal Affairs Hall. This is also the right of the spiritual farmer."
Tianyan Sect has a vast territory and a sparse population. There are too many spiritual fields to cultivate them all, so leaving a valley barren is nothing.
"I want to re-plan Huaxi Valley. I will send out the recruitment order after I finish the planning. There is no rush."
After completing all the formalities, Hong Tao personally saw Jiang Yuebai out.
As soon as she came out, five or six servants came up to her with gifts and invitations.
"Senior Sister Jiang, Elder Yan of the Hedan Hall is in need of a spiritual cultivator to grow herbs, and would like to invite you to cooperate."
"I came here first, I came here first. Our Elder Wu's alchemy skills are among the top three in the Hedan Palace. Senior Sister Jiang is very talented. Only by cooperating with our Elder Wu can she show her talents."
"Go, go, go. Our Elder Sun has always been courteous and generous. Senior Sister Jiang, please cooperate with our Elder Sun. In the future, Elder Sun will take care of all the foundation-building needs."
Several people were talking at once, vying for the first place, Jiang Yuebai hurriedly stopped them and only accepted the invitations from the alchemy elders, saying that she would visit them one by one.
Hong Tao helped out and the servants left.
Hong Tao said: "It is a pleasant surprise that you become an inner sect disciple. If you choose another alchemy elder with a strong background to join you, even Lin Xiangtian will not dare to touch you easily. The elder Sun just now has a good reputation."
Jiang Yuebai's eyes flickered. Relying on others could only protect herself, but she not only had to protect herself, but also to take revenge with her own hands and make her enemies pay a heavy price. For this reason, it was okay for her to endure some grievances.
Over the years, she has been prepared for revenge.
"Thank you, Uncle Hong. I have my own plans."
Hong Tao nodded. "No matter what you plan, you must remember that it is easier to avoid an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark. You still need to be careful and be cautious. Don't offend Lin Xiangtian and the others. If you are not valuable enough, no one will fight against the sect rules for you."
Jiang Yuebai smiled and bowed respectfully.
"If I hadn't been helped by my uncle, I wouldn't be here today. I will always remember your kindness. If you need me in the future, please feel free to ask. I will never refuse."
Hong Tao smiled and nodded, "I underestimated you. I knew you were not an ordinary person, but I always thought that you would be the best when you entered the outer sect. I didn't expect that you would enter the inner sect. From now on, I will need your guidance."
"Master Hong, you are too polite. This is the Four Seasons Spirit Wine I brewed myself. If Master Hong doesn't mind, please accept it and have a taste."
"Okay, I'll try it."
…
Hedan Hall.
After hearing the report from Qi Ming, the servant beside her, Jia Xiuchun smashed the makeup box.
Qi Ming knelt silently, allowing the flying debris to scratch his face.
Lin Sui Wan gritted his teeth, going crazy with jealousy.
"How could that bitch become an inner disciple? She is my maid and will be for life!"
After Jia Xiuchun calmed down from her anger, she told Qi Ming to get out first.
"She is really very capable. Now we can't touch her. If she harms the inner disciples, even ten lives of yours and mine won't be enough to compensate!"
Lin Suiwan was unwilling to accept this. "What about my ancestor? He is an alchemy elder and a golden elixir master of the inner sect. Can he not touch that bitch?"
"Why can't you move?"
Lin Xiangtian came in from outside, and Jia Xiuchun and Lin Suiwan hurriedly stood up to greet him.
The floor was covered with jewelry fragments, and Lin Xiangtian frowned unhappily. Jia Xiuchun quickly used the wind-sweeping technique to sweep the fragments away, invited Lin Xiangtian to sit on the couch, and personally poured him a cup of hot tea.
Lin Sui Wan also acted well and tried to please him. He stood beside him and served him carefully, and delivered messages cautiously.
"Old Ancestor, that bitch is getting more and more powerful now. Sooner or later, she will climb over your head. You can't just leave her alone."
Lin Xiangtian was furious, "I should have killed her in front of the mountain gate! And you two, I have been in seclusion for two years, and I can't even kill a servant. You have nurtured a tiger and caused a lot of trouble."
Jia Xiuchun said in a tender voice: "I am afraid of bringing trouble to your reputation, so I didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Now because of Tao Fengnian, she has become a mortal enemy of us, and we can only rely on you, the elder, to take action."
Lin Xiangtian pressed his forehead, and Jia Xiuchun hurriedly knelt beside him to massage his temples.
"I need to think about this carefully."
At this time, Qi Ming ran in from outside, looking a little panicked.
"Elder Lin, inner sect disciple Jiang Yuebai is here to ask for a meeting."
