Chapter 4: Spirit Constructor (Request for Recommendations)
This way, there were about fifty to sixty crystal prisms on the road. It had to be said that Su Hug Mountain did have a deep family background.
Tian Yingdong was mesmerized and lingered. He was extraordinarily covetous of those previous divine weapons that were incomparably powerful. However, Sun Li kept his head down and looked at his toes.
Because in his mind, Wu Yao used the tone of a vegetable market picking and choosing to casually review each of these divine weapons, which were all "holy objects" in the eyes of the disciples of Mount Sukhumvit, one by one.
"This one can only be regarded as a ninth-rate level at best, with many runes and seemingly great power. But in reality, most of these runes are duplicated. Simply by attacking with two powers with opposite attributes at the same time, it will cause these runes with duplicated functions to cope unfavorably and collapse together."
"This one is slightly better, it's barely an eighth-rate one, it's been sacrificed with some care, and the formation inside it already has a fourfold superposition, but unfortunately, the formation itself is too poor, and the amount of spirit energy it can hold is limited, so it's invincible against low-level enemies, and it'll be broken easily against high-level opponents. If any unlucky disciple is chosen by this thing, he or she should fend for themselves."
"This flying sword is not bad, it's much better than broken copper and iron! If you ask me ah refining so many kinds of materials together, what a strange thought!"
"This ...... even if it's a seventh stream, I don't even want to say anything more, why does this broken sect people, always like to add to the snake, really think that in a magic treasure, the more things sealed the more powerful it is? How do they just do not understand, a good magic treasure, lies in the materials, formations, forbidden with, but also to examine the means of making weapons. There is no best, only the most suitable ......"
Speaking later, Wu Yao was really a bit impatient, in the end, he just simply commented on the pull down, and didn't explain so much to Sun Li.
"Alright, we're here."
Chong Zhao said as he pointed to a large hall in front of him.
"This is the Xuanwu Great Hall where our Su Huo Sect decides the affairs of the sect."
The hall was situated in the middle of a pine forest, extremely tall and expansive, even those thousand year old pines couldn't block its full view. To the door, a Taoist happened to come out from inside, saw Chong Zhao haha laugh: "Yo, this is not Chong Zhao senior brother, you used all means, begged to go to this receiving mission, how is it, what is the harvest, did it let you salted fish turn over ah?"
The faces of senior brothers Chong Zhao changed greatly, Chong Park couldn't hold back and said indignantly, "Chong Yang, you less gloat. Let me tell you, our master brothers went out this time and found a disciple with the ten great wisdom roots!"
Daoist Chong Yang froze, and with a sweep of his gaze at Sun Li and Tian Yingdong behind him, he directly drifted past Sun Li and stared firmly at Tian Yingdong's body!
Only after a while, Chong Yang gritted his teeth and nodded his head, cupping his fists and bowing towards Chong Zhao, "Senior brother Chong Zhao, senior brother I have been blinded by lard, I have offended more than I should have before, please bear with senior brother!"
Chong Zhao coldly grunted and did not reply, Chong Yang was helpless and said in a low voice, "Senior brother, senior brother will go first, I will definitely apologize at the door some other time, and will definitely make senior brother satisfied."
Only then did Chong Zhao reveal a hint of a smile and patted Chong Yang's shoulder, "Haha, well said."
Chong Yang left in a sorry state, and Senior Brothers Chong Zhao raised their eyebrows, quite a bit complacent.
Regardless of the sect, the most important thing is the Taoist heritage. Being able to find a good seedling would ensure that the sect would continue to develop and grow in the future.
Therefore, the introduction of the mission in the sect is particularly sought after, as long as you can find a good seedling, for the sect is a great achievement. Chongzhao before because of certain things, in the door is very passive, under the desperation, this is to use the last resort, grab down this introduction task, a little bit of gambling.
I did not expect that he really won the gamble, actually found Tian Yingdong such an outstanding disciple with Bao Liu Hui Gen, this time, immediately will be salted fish turn over, in the door raised eyebrows. Daoist priest Chong Yang had to lower his voice and repair his relationship with Chong Zhao.
As for the words he said, Tian Yingdong and Sun Li didn't quite understand, but it was nothing more than some behind-the-scenes deals.
Chong Zhao said to Tian Yingdong, "Senior Tian, let's quickly go in."
The four of them groomed themselves and walked into the Xuanwu Grand Hall.
Inside the main hall was the statue of Emperor Xuanwu and his divine seat, and generally, if it wasn't a matter of life and death for the sect, the main hall would never be used for deliberations.
Although Tian Yingdong possessed the Bao Liu Hui Gen, he had never reached the point of utilizing the main hall.
When Chong Zhao entered the door, there was a disciple who was responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Hall to tell him that the Sect Leader and a few senior uncles were waiting in the left side of the hall.
In the cultivation world, it was also the left that was honored. In the left side of the hall, and is the sect master and several master uncle are in, let Chong Zhao ecstatic, thanked the watchman disciple, hurriedly led Tian Yingdong over. As for the Sun Li ...... who followed behind, there was no Sun Li in the minds of Chong Zhao's masters and brothers along the way.
Although it is a remote hall, but the facilities are also extraordinarily complete, the doorway stood two copper crane incense burner, is curling smoke, the entire remote hall, are filled with a let a person clear the eyes of the fragrance.
Above sat a middle-aged man wearing an apricot yellow bagua Taoist robe, slightly blossomed in stature, but two eyes of divine light convergence, extraordinary temperament.
"Disciple Chongzhao/Chongpu, I pay my respects to Master Teacher!"
The Sect Master's Daoist name, Delusion Void, raised his hand and said, "Get up." His eyes were however fixed on Tian Yingdong at the back, "You are Tian Yingdong?"
Tian Yingdong hurriedly knelt down, "Worldly brat Tian Yingdong, I am sincerely terrified to see my master!"
Delusional Void Realist smiled in satisfaction, "Good, really good!"
The rest of the surrounding Masters and Uncles were also looking at Tian Yingdong with smiles on their faces, nodding their heads repeatedly.
"As expected of a Bao Liu Hui Gen, you have responded properly!"
The one who spoke was an old man sitting on the right hand side of the Delusion Void Realist. The old man had a peculiar appearance, with half red and half black hair on his top, a baby-like face, and a pair of eyes that shone brightly.
Luo Huan said faintly in Sun Li's mind, "This old man's technique should be the same cultivation of both water and fire powers, this technique is certainly powerful, but it's a pity that this old man is cultivating in the wrong direction. Just a single-mindedly cultivating the two forces of water and fire separately and painstakingly, presumably with the thought of forcibly fusing the two at the time of the battle to be able to explode with overwhelming power."
"And normally, he should be using some kind of special mind technique to make the power of water and fire go into their respective places, hence why his hair is half red and half black."
"It's a pity that he doesn't know that the greatest benefit of cultivating both water and fire together lies in the fusion, every time he cultivates a trace of water spirit element and a trace of fire spirit element he has to fuse them immediately. After fusion, the thickness of one's own spirit element increases exponentially. This cultivation method was never meant for conquest."
"This old man is sacrificing his essence for the end, using a special mind method to suppress two spirit elements with diametrically opposite attributes, it won't be long before something big happens."
And at this moment, that old man was saying to Tian Yingdong in a pleasant manner, "Young man, Old Taoist Delusion Ming, are you willing to be my disciple?"
Old Taoist Delusion Ming was sitting on the left side of Sect Master Delusion Void, his status was honorable, and Tian Yingdong could naturally see that. Delusion Ming took the initiative to accept his disciple, and Tian Yingdong felt blissfully somewhat incredulous!
Sun Li, on the other hand, thumped in his heart, thinking of Luo Huan's words just now, he subconsciously touched Tian Yingdong. Tian Yingdong gave him a puzzled look, but ignored it.
Sun Li hurriedly restrained himself - he had just reminded Tian Yingdong purely because of his good nature. But what was the occasion now?
The slightest movement could be seen by those Old Gods above!
This small movement of Sun Li's was indeed seen by those people. It was only that all of them, including the Delusional Void Realist, thought that it was a sign of Sun Li's unwillingness to be ignored.
As for those Old Gods, they all had more important things to do, so no one paid any attention to Sun Li.
"Senior Brother Delusion Ming, you're in too much of a hurry, aren't you? You're going to do it here?" A female Daoist on the right hand side of Delusion Void Realist spoke faintly. This female cultivator had a face as sharp as a knife and hung two inverted triangle eyes. Speaking in a nonchalant manner, her white eyes were directed towards Delusion Ming in a very nonchalant manner.
Turning her face towards Tian Yingdong, this female cultivator suddenly changed into a pleasant face and smiled, "Young man, this seat Delusion Creek, on this seat's 'Daxi Peak', female disciples are the most numerous in the entire Suhuo Mountain, why don't you pay your respects to this seat's door, how about it?"
Delusion Ming was furious: "Old Taoist nun, you dare to snatch a disciple from the old Taoist!"
"So what if I snatched it?" The Delusion Brook Daoist nun was nonchalant.
Delusion Ming smiled grimly and turned to Tian Ying Dong, "Ying Dong Xian Nephew, old Taoist me is the richest in the entire Su Huo Mountain! Wealthy Couple Dharma Land, as long as you have money, what kind of woman can't you find if you want?"
Delusion Brook was the only female in the audience, and she was immediately furious and trembling, "Delusion Ming old mongrel is bullying people too much!"
"Cough!" Delusion Void Realist had to cough, interrupting the two, "What a shame! You two are old, there are still a few juniors watching below, you don't want your old faces, I, the Sect Leader, still have to take into account the face of Su Huo Mountain!"
The two were reprimanded by him, unwillingly shut up, but looked at each other angrily, with an appearance of never giving up.
Another Daoist below smiled cheekily and spoke, "Hehehe, this, Senior Brother Delusion Ming, Senior Sister Delusion Brook, you two can't be too overbearing, can you? In the past, we all gave in to you in everything, who made you senior brothers and sisters? But this time, it's about our dao lineage ah, it's something we can't let go of."
As soon as this Daoist opened his mouth, the others also chimed in, "That's right, in the past we let you guys go so many times, this time it's time for the two of you to return the favor."
"The two of you each have your own strengths, but the rest of us also have our own strengths."
"I don't care about the others, I'm going to compete this time anyway!"
Delusional Ming and Delusional Brook were furious, standing up together and shouting, "Do you want to revolt!"
Unfortunately, it didn't scare anyone, the old Taoist who spoke at the very beginning, did not speak in an unsympathetic manner, "What's this about? Are you two the only ones allowed to accept good disciples, and the rest of us deserve to have no meat to eat and not even a mouthful of soup to drink?"
"Alright!" Delusion Void Realist let out an angry rebuke, "A group of seniors, scrambling around in front of the juniors, what's the custom!"
The crowd was temporarily silenced by his chastisement.
The two of them, Chong Zhao, were ecstatic: the more importance Tian Yingdong received, the more credit the two of them would receive!
Within Sun Li's mind, Wu Yao suddenly spoke, "Kid, how does it feel to be ignored?"
Sun Li was bland: "Getting used to it."
"Hahaha!" Wu Yao laughed, "Nonsense! How can you get used to it? Look at these people, completely treating you like air. Regardless of what they think, you yourself have to understand that they are all mere mortals, flesh-eyed mortals who are not at all clear on what kind is worth cultivating."
"A mere Bao Liu Hui Root is snatched up. Truly muddy golden diamonds are discarded as if they were worn out."
"Kid, you must understand that cultivation is the pursuit of our generation. A Taoist heart is as firm as a rock. However, if one is able to incidentally dazzle those who don't think highly of you, ignore you, belittle you, and despise you, one by one, and leave them far behind on the way to cultivation, that feeling is great! If one can enjoy it, why not?"
Sun Li revealed a wacky smile in his heart, "Why do I find that you and I have very similar personalities."
"Hahaha!" Wu Yao laughed like thunder.
Luo Huan whispered, "Two careful guys."
"Bah!" Sun Li and Wu Yao joined together.
"Sect Leader!" Old Taoist Delusion Ming suddenly spoke, "You're not trying to take Tian Yingdong under your tutelage again, are you?"
When he said this without any ceremony, the crowd was immediately alerted.
"Sect Leader, you've already snatched Qin Tian Zhan over before, and you still want to snatch Tian Yingdong, how can you say that it's not right?"
"That's right, even though you're the Sect Leader, you can't be so overbearing, right?"
Delusion Void Realist was embarrassed.
There were also three, six, nine levels of Huigen, and the best were naturally the ten famous Huigen in the cultivation world.
And besides the ten great Hui Gen, there were three more grades below. The highest was the first class and the lowest was the third class.
Qin Tian Zhan was equipped with the Five Elements Hui Gen, which was an extremely rare First Class Hui Gen. This kind of Five Elemental Root was naturally sensitive to the perception of the Five Elemental Spiritual Elements, and the speed of cultivation was several times faster than the average person.
At that time, when Qin Tian Zhan was brought back, it stirred up the entire Sukhumvit Mountain. The Delusional Void Realist had gone through a lot of effort and sacrificed a lot of benefits before he was able to take Qin Tian Zhan under his tutelage.
At that time, who would have thought that a small mountain village in Lotus Terrace would be able to have a character with ten great wisdom roots? Su Huo Mountain would have such good luck to not only obtain a disciple with a first class Hui Gen, but also find another ten great Hui Gen!
It was indeed no good for Delusion Void Realist to argue anymore, it was just that his heart was dripping blood.
With a gloomy face, Delusional Void Realist swept a glance at the crowd, ''Of course I won't argue anymore, but you guys are also slightly more restrained! As I see it, it's better to wait until the opening ceremony of the mountain gate to let Tian Yingdong decide on his own as to who he will actually worship as his master."
Saying this, the minds of all the old Taoists immediately came alive: wait until the opening of the mountain gate? That means until then, everyone will rely on their own means.
Delusional Void Realist looked at the two Chong Zhaos: "Chong Zhaos, this time, you have made a great achievement for this sect, what reward do you want?"
Chong Zhao hurriedly bowed to the ground, "Serving this sect is a part of the job. It's all because the heavens have favored me Su Hug Mountain, disciple does not dare to be greedy, moreover I do not dare to ask for any reward."
Although he knew that Chongzhao's words were not true to his heart, Delusion Void Realist still nodded with slight satisfaction, "That said, not rewarding the merits would also chill the hearts of the other disciples. Let's do it this way, from today onwards, you will manage the Spirit Beast Garden's Spirit Beast rentals."
Chong Zhao was overjoyed, "Many thanks, senior apprentice!"
"Alright, you guys go down first. Also, settle the two of them down first and live with the other disciples for now."
"As you wish!"
From the beginning to the end, no one asked Sun Li a single question.
As soon as Chong Zhao and Chong Park led the two of them out the door, they arched their hands towards Tian Yingdong, "Congratulations Senior Brother Tian!"
Tian Yingdong smiled haughtily, "The two senior brothers are my guides, this favor, Tian Yingdong remembers!"
The two senior brothers were waiting for Tian Yingdong's words, the two of them had taken good care of Tian Yingdong along the way, wasn't it for the sake of getting on good terms with this future powerhouse?
The two immediately smiled, "Let's go, let's find a good place for senior brother to stay."
The four of them came out, the crowd of old Taoists in the side hall were about to disperse, but Delusion Void Realist shouted, "All senior brothers wait, there's still one more thing to tell you all."
"Master Zhu Yanqing is coming to visit our sect tomorrow, so I have decided to postpone tomorrow's mountain gate opening ceremony to receive Master Zhu with all my might."
At these words, the crowd of old Daoists were in an uproar.
The Mountain Gate Opening Ceremony was extraordinarily important, yet not a single person objected to Delusion Void Realist's decision to postpone the Mountain Gate Opening Ceremony in order to receive Zhu Yanqing. Instead, they all wore joyful faces, "Sect Leader, is it really Master Zhu?"
Delusion Void nodded his head, slightly pleased with himself, "I also heard that recently Master Zhu Yanqing wanted to refine a new spirit pattern formation suit, which required the use of Sanwen Earth Fire, which is why I spent a large amount of money to go through the relationship, informing Master Zhu that at the back of our Su Huo Mountain, there is a Sanwen Earth Fire Fire Cave of excellent quality, and I sent someone to specially pick some fire samples and send them to Master Zhu to take a look at them. After his old man read it, he really recognized it, and has already repaired the letter to inform him that he will pay a visit tomorrow to borrow our fire point to refine the spirit pattern array suit."
"Great!" Old Taoist Delusion Ming was overjoyed, "Master Zhu is a famous Spirit Constructor in the Cultivation World, if we can take this opportunity to get in touch with Master Zhu, as long as he's willing to refine one or two Spirit Pattern Formation Suits for us at Su Clasp Mountain, he'll be able to create two supreme experts for us."
Spirit Constructor was a very unique existence in the Cultivation World, and it could be said that the Spirit Pattern Formation Suit was the highest summary of all the achievements of the entire Cultivation World over hundreds of thousands of years.
A spirit pattern array suit, which may involve: talismans, spirit text, formation, tool making, spirit beasts and so on many knowledge, almost the entire cultivation world, each occupation all included.
The cultivator who is able to create the spirit pattern array suit is honored as the spirit structure master, which is the most honorable existence in the whole cultivation world.
A Spiritual Formation Suit, even if it was the most trashy, was able to increase the user's combat power by 20%.
For low level cultivators, this increase may not be as good as a high level artifact, but for true masters, these two percent can definitely play a heavenly effect!
And wanting to become a Spirit Constructor was by no means an easy task.
The first thing was qualification.
A Spirit Constructor involved too much knowledge, which meant that one needed to be an almost fully qualified cultivator. And it required practicing almost every single subject, and progress was extremely slow. Many cultivators who aspired to become Spirit Constructors often reached the end of their Yang life before they had learned all the knowledge they needed.
The next thing was the inheritance.
In order to cultivate a Spirit Constructor, one must have a Spirit Constructor as a master. Other than that, with so many basic knowledge, even a superpower of the Supreme Human Realm simply couldn't teach them all.
And as good disciples were hard to find, it was extraordinarily difficult for a Spirit Constructor to find a disciple with the right qualifications. It was even more difficult to find a disciple with the right qualifications who could break through the realm in a short period of time and have a long life!
Without a long life, there would be no time to learn the vast fundamentals.
And after satisfying the first two conditions, it was the nightmare of ninety-nine percent of Spirit Constructor apprentices: creativity.
The refining of a Spirit Pattern Formation Suit was not simply a matter of repetition. Each Spirit Pattern Formation Suit had to be customized for the user. If the user was different, the Spirit Pattern Formation Suit must also be different.
After learning the basics, how to combine that knowledge to create a true spirit pattern array suit was definitely a process that required creativity.
This process blocked ninety-nine percent of apprentices from the door of a Spiritual Constructor.
And as a master, one could only mention it, it was impossible to instill one's own creativity into the apprentice.
......
Just as Delusional Void Realist and the others were discussing how to greet Master Zhu Yanqing in a grand and solemn manner, Master and Brother Chongzhao brought the two of them, Sun Li, to a mansion.
The Su Huo Mountain was divided into the front and back mountains with the Xuanwu Great Hall as its boundary.
In addition to the Spirit Beast Garden, the Great Sun Heavenly Singijeon Battery, and other buildings, there were also quite a few mansions and palaces on the front mountain. Their current location, the "Mountain of Hope Residence" was one of them. The facilities here were average, and it was traditionally used to house the heart disciples.
Along the way, Chong Zhao also introduced them to the situation of Mount Su Hug.
After entering the third level of the Mortal Realm, one is considered a disciple of Mount Sukhumvit. However, this was only considered an outer disciple, and after breaking through from the Mortal Realm to the Daoist Realm, one would become an inner disciple.
Master and brother Chongzhao were now inner disciples.
When they reach the "Sage Realm", they will have the right to enter the back of the mountain and open a cave. That's the real power of Su Hug Mountain, not the same as being a disciple.
At present, the back of the mountain are still living in the senior uncle, senior ancestor level characters, this generation has not been a disciple, can enter the back of the mountain.
And as long as the back of the mountain of the masters and uncles see, accept as a personal disciple, then the future will be unlimited, not ordinary inner disciple can be compared. Tian Yingdong will definitely become a personal disciple.
Wangshan courtyard covers an area of not small, covering half of the hillside, green bricks and tiles with white walls under the embellishment of various colors of flowers and trees, squeezing out a space from between the green grass, rocks and mountains, stretching all the way to the side of a small river in the valley.
Inside, Chongzhao found a small, solitary courtyard for Tian Yingdong, while Sun Li, on the other hand, was sent to a small house. Inside the courtyard of that house, there were a total of four rooms, all of which were already occupied.
When Sun Li came in, the doors of the other three rooms were closed, not knowing if there was anyone inside. He was not good at dealing with people, so he stayed in his house and rested for the night.
Early the next morning, the entire Su Hao Sect was mobilized, from the Sect Master down to the disciples who were about to be initiated, they all prepared seriously.
The disciples stood in a square formation outside the mountain gate according to the order of their initiation. In front of them were the various master uncles. At the forefront was naturally the Sect Leader, Delusion Void Realist.
All the disciples were newly issued a set of navy blue Daoist robes and cloth shoes. The senior uncles also put on their vestments, solemn and dignified.
They waited until noon, and the Great Sun God fire was scorching the Sukhumvit Mountain, but from Delusion Void to the disciples who were about to be initiated, none of them appeared to be impatient, and instead stood in place with a solemn face.
Zhu Yanqing sent a message that he would arrive at noon.
Southwest direction suddenly a hot wind came, do not know who is too talkative, shouted "coming". As a result, the Sect Master turned around and gave him a fierce glare.
In that direction, a silhouette came flying, followed by a little girl of about 13 or 14 years old.
