C18 Honorary Disciples
The streets of the Nanyang City were wide and filled with buildings. The buildings were mostly made of huge rocks, and the atmosphere was vast.
Although there was less of a sense of modernity, those faintly discernible buildings in the sky, the nearby flying cultivators, as well as some unnamed rare and unique beasts that were used as mounts by cultivators made Jiang Cen exclaim in amazement. This was probably a miracle that even the high-tech on Earth couldn't achieve.
The three of them quickly arrived at the Immortal Cultivation Hall. This was a great hall that was several tens of floors high. The hundred or so stone pillars in front of the hall were all several tens of feet thick, and compared to them, the person standing in front of the hall seemed extremely small.
The Hall of Immortal Ascension was a place where Nanyang Sect could recruit new disciples. Originally, the rogue cultivators had to complete the missions on the Immortal Ranking, so they had the qualifications to receive an Immortal Ascension Token. They would register here using their Immortal Ascension Token, and then officially enter the Nanyang Sect Sect.
However, two days ago, Nanyang Sect suddenly announced that as long as a rogue cultivator had reached the Qi Core Stage, they would be able to join Nanyang Sect regardless of whether they completed the mission to be promoted to the Immortal Ranking or not.
This action opened up the door to a new world, and the nearby cultivators all heard this and came to join the battle. Many rogue cultivators gathered outside the Immortal Cultivation Hall, forming a long line.
After waiting for four hours, it was finally Jiang Cen, Fong Xu's turn.
The person in charge of registration was a middle-aged man who was in the late stage of the Core Formation Stage. He asked Fong Xu and Chen Xiufei for their names, cultivations, and Spiritual Root s.
When it was Jiang Cen's turn, the middle-aged man only took a glance before shaking his head and lamenting: "Another Early Period of the Qi Core! Back then when we entered the sect, we did not know how difficult it was, and even middle stage Qi Dan stage cultivators were only one in ten. Now, it is great, we can also take in Early Period of the Qi Core s no matter what. "
How would he know that if it wasn't for taking refuge, Jiang Cen wouldn't be interested in joining this so-called big sect!
"Name, Spiritual Root attribute?" The middle-aged man asked lazily.
"Jiang Cen, Five Spiritual Root!" Jiang Cen answered.
"Five Spiritual Root!" The middle-aged man frowned even more. He wasn't afraid that Jiang Cen would hear it, and muttered to himself: "Not only is my cultivation low, I am also the worst Spiritual Root. I really don't know what the sect is going to do with this kind of guy who will never have any future!"
Jiang Cen smiled awkwardly, he would never explain that the Five Spiritual Root he mentioned was just an abbreviation for Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root!
Although the middle-aged man was indignant, he still straightforwardly helped Jiang Cen go through the formalities to enter the sect.
After receiving the disciple token, he changed into disciple attire. From today onwards, Jiang Cen would officially become an honorary disciple of Nanyang Sect.
"To become a disciple of our sect's inner hall, you have to go through the disciple recruitment ceremony. "Remember to go and take a look at the announcement on the Immortal Rankings. Don't miss out on the ceremony." The middle-aged man warned.
"Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother!" Jiang Cen and the others thanked and left.
A huge white jade tablet was erected in front of the Immortal Cultivation Hall; this was the so-called "Immortal Rankings". The Immortal Rankings had originally been used to post various entry-level missions, but now it was being swapped for a large notice.
The announcement stated that the Nanyang Sect had opened its doors wide to recruit Cultivator of the Qi Core Period for a period of three days. On the fourth day, all the new disciples gathered at the Immortal Cultivation Hall and held a ceremony to become disciples.
"How strange!" Jiang Cen was very confused: "If it's widely accepted, why only accept for three days?"
"Moreover, there are almost no conditions. As long as it's an Aurous Core stage cultivator with the lowest cultivation level, they can enter the sect. It's hard to avoid both good and evil doing this! "
Jiang Cen thought to himself, this is like a famous university's enrollment. Even if you want to enlarge the enrollment, it will only lower the score. It's impossible for a high school student to enroll into it. Besides, what the hell was three days?
Fong Xu smiled embarrassedly. Jiang Cen was referring to himself as "attractiveness"!
Chen Xiufei said, "No matter what, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. "If we miss this opportunity, then it will be extremely difficult for us to enter a great sect."
Jiang Cen couldn't figure it out, so he put down his doubts for now.
Fong Xu said, "Today is the second day of disciple recruitment. There are still two more days until the disciple recruitment ceremony. In these two days, should the three of us go to the beautiful scenery around Nanyang City to take a look? "
"I'm afraid not!" Jiang Cen sighed and looked into the distance. Ji Qiu was still staring at him. Thus, for the past two days, he could only remain within the Nanyang City.
Fong Xu understood and nodded, "Then I'll take a walk around the city. Is this Fellow Taoist Jiang's first time coming to Nanyang City? There are all sorts of magical equipment for sale in the city square. Even if we don't buy them, it would be an eye-opener. "
"That's a good idea!" Chen Xiufei was suddenly very interested, "Last time when I went to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, the owner invited a disciple of Nanyang to display the magical powers and magic tools. Fellow Taoist Jiang should come along as well? "
Jiang Cen agreed. Firstly, he wanted to buy some treasures to protect his life, and secondly, he also wanted to walk around to see if he could find any clues that would allow him to break through his original point and return to reality.
He had bought a piece of Dragon Design Cyan Jade from Imitation Ancient Street, and might even be able to find some unexpected and important objects within the Nanyang City.
The three of them strolled around the city's marketplace together, while Ji Qiu followed behind them from a short distance. His attitude clearly showed that he wasn't giving Jiang Cen the chance to sneak out of Nanyang City.
The Immortal Cultivation Market was filled with all kinds of magical treasures. They were all magical in nature. Jiang Cen was dazzled by what he saw and was amazed.
These treasures were all sold in Spirit Stone as currency. Jiang Cen carried a few pieces of middle ranked Spirit Stone, which were equivalent to a few hundred low ranked Spirit Stone. In the Qi Core Period rogue cultivators, they could be considered rich, but they were not particularly rich either.
In order to thank Fong Xu and Wu Tie for their help, Jiang Cen treated them to a meal of "Celestial Dining" and spent thirty Spirit Stone s.
The ingredients used for this immortal cuisine were all spiritual valleys, immortal mushrooms, and other such treasures. Not only could they fill their stomachs, but they could also nourish their meridians and help with cultivation.
In this mortal world, even if it was a rare delicacy, it was still tasty in Jiang Cen's mouth. Only this celestial food was barely edible.
30 Spirit Stone s were too expensive, Fong Xu duo refused it a few times, but Jiang Cen was a foodie and lived in the valley for more than a month only eating raw wild pears, so he naturally had to comfort himself well.
Later on, Jiang Cen saw a leaf shaped flying magic tool in a shop that he bought for one hundred and fifty Spirit Stone s.
Fong Xu advised, "It is indeed much more convenient to have a flying magic tool. However, an Inferior Grade Flying Tool only needed fifty Spirit Stone to satisfy the basic requirements for flying. This Flying Leaf Magic Tool is a mid-grade magic tool, it is much more expensive, it is just that its flying speed is a little faster, it is not worth spending so much Spirit Stone. "
Jiang Cen didn't think that way. This Flying Leaf Magic Tool should be exactly the same as the one Wu Tie used, very fast. If he were to be pursued by Ji Qiu in the future, at least he wouldn't be at a disadvantage in terms of speed at which to run.
To Fong Xu, a flying tool was just a flying tool, but to Jiang Cen, it was worth it to be a treasure that could possibly save his life.
In addition, the black silkworm inner armor that was used for self-defense and the low level talismans that were sealed with all kinds of basic spells were all purchased by Jiang Cen, leaving behind the last middle level Spirit Stone.
Ji Qiu saw all this from a distance. He knew that Jiang Cen was doing all this for him.
Furthermore, the more Spirit Stone Jiang Cen took out, the more he felt that his guess was not wrong.
