Volume 1: Setting Foot on the Path of Immortality Chapter 16: Official Disciple

  Formal Disciple

  Wang Fei's expression was momentarily stunned. He had never thought that the merit he had established would make him a formal disciple, and at most, he thought it would just be rewarded with more spiritual crystals.

  And by his side, not to mention the miscellaneous disciples, even the formal disciples showed a shocked expression.

  To become a formal disciple of Danfeng Sect, one's spiritual root must be above the seventh grade. If you want to become a disciple under Dangong, you need to pass an intelligence test.

  Refining elixirs is a tedious process; without a firm mind, it cannot be persisted in.

  Dān Gé is the core of the entire Dān Fēng Zōng, and whether or not the disciples of the other four pavilions want to refine elixirs is none of the sect's business. However, the disciples under Dān Gé must hand in a batch of Róng Líng Dān (Fusion Spirit Elixir) or similar elixirs that they personally refined every year.

  Of course, this is a normal channel, and there is another way, that is, through the introduction of disciples with status in the sect.

  At this point, Wang Fei had gained Yao Shu's recognition and became a formal disciple of Dan Ge without any doubt. This made the miscellaneous disciples on the side envy him tightly.

  After announcing the conclusion, Yao Shu drove the wind boat away. As for Wang Fei, he returned to his own medicine field under the eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred from many miscellaneous disciples, along with those flattering colleagues.

  ……

  Inside the house, Wang Fei sat cross-legged on a cushion, quietly meditating and cultivating. However, the murmurs of those miscellaneous disciples outside were clearly audible to his ears.

  "Wow, this time Wang Fei really made a big show, harvesting twenty stalks of the hundred-year-old spiritual herb. I wonder how much reward he'll get tomorrow."

  "This is nothing, most importantly, he also helped Yao Shu shifu to get out of trouble, this feeling, that Yao Shu shifu must have remembered it in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have directly promoted him to become a formal disciple"

  "Hmm, looks like he really has some connection with the high-level disciples"

  "Never mind, let's just hurry up and get along with them, maybe we can gain something good from it."

  ……

  Listening to the disciple's words outside, Wang Fei couldn't help but sneer, people are just so realistic, clinging to power and nobility.

  But since they want to curry favor with him and make themselves look good, Wang Fei won't decline.

  With a satisfied smile, Wang Fei began to count the harvest of this trip to the Rain Bamboo Forest.

  This time the harvest was not shallow, with thirty strains of hundred-year-old spiritual medicine and nearly a hundred strains of ordinary medicinal materials. The purple bamboo grass and the bright leaf were also obtained. Most importantly, Wang Fei got a white fire bead containing the Xuanbing Huo Ling.

  On that day, on a whim, he grabbed this white bead containing the essence of Xuanbing Huoling. Wang Fei almost played with fire, fortunately, at the critical moment, the green jade stone came into play, and the green light burst out, suppressing it. After this incident, Wang Fei became more cautious in his future actions.

  At present, Wang Fei has become a formal disciple and can get a Dan furnace mansion. The conditions for alchemy are not a problem, but to refine high-quality Qingling eye liquid, it is best to reach the middle stage of Lingyue cultivation, so Wang Fei's first goal is to work hard on his cultivation and reach the middle stage of Lingyue as soon as possible.

  If he didn't have the spiritual root talent originally, Wang Fei might be very worried. However, times are different now, under the absorption of the spiritual root, all spiritual roots will work for him.

  According to Wang Fei, the realm of cultivation is divided into seven major realms: Ling Yu, Zhu Ji, Jin Dan, Ning Ying, Hua Shen, Chu Kong, and Tuo Tai. The first two realms, Ling Yu and Zhu Ji, are foundational stages that require absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy to enhance one's cultivation. In this regard, the spiritual root plays a huge role.

  The spiritual root is a tool for transporting and sensing spiritual energy. The higher the level of the spiritual root, the faster the absorption of spiritual energy, and the faster the increase in strength. However, looking at the entire cultivation world, cultivators with first or second-grade spiritual roots are extremely rare, and most have ninth to third or fourth-grade spiritual roots.

  However, after entering the Golden Elixir stage, apart from absorbing spiritual energy, it is necessary to have one's own comprehension ability and opportunities to continuously advance, but the requirements for spiritual roots are still very high.

  Every time in a duel, the higher the quality of the spiritual root, the less spiritual power is consumed, and it can be recovered in the shortest possible time. In other words, having a good spiritual root plays an indispensable role whether in the early or late stages of cultivation.

  As soon as he mentioned Linggen, Wang Fei urged his spiritual power and looked inward at the Linggen in his body.

  Under the stimulation of spiritual power, Wang Fei clearly saw that Lin Feng's seventh-grade fire spirit root and Fang Hao's eighth-grade gold spirit root were superimposed on each other, wrapped in a swallowed spirit root, and entwined together inside his body. The crimson and white light continued to flow, and the seventh-grade fire spirit root was obviously much thicker than the eighth-grade gold spirit root.

  One is three times thicker than a strand of hair, and one is as thick as a single strand of hair, but it doesn't seem to make much difference.

  But don't underestimate this small gap, when it comes to absorbing and emitting spiritual energy, the gap is huge.

  Wang Fei knew that the spiritual root had a very important significance for cultivation. He looked at the two spiritual roots in his body and was secretly delighted.

  With the mysterious Devouring Spirit Root, Wang Fei was clear that his future path of cultivation would be extraordinary.

  Suddenly, a wave of drowsiness swept over him. Wang Fei had been busy for three days and was really exhausted. He let out a yawn and fell fast asleep.

  The next day, Wang Fei got up early and went to the Reward Hall with his flattering disciples.

  The Shang Xi Temple, the manager who had previously deducted Wang Fei's Ling Jing Dan medicine, took over the jade symbol from Wang Fei's hand and inserted his divine consciousness, with a look of surprise on his face.

  Because in this jade symbol, it actually specifically gave Wang Fei one hundred spiritual crystals, fifty fusion spirit pills, a low-grade magic weapon, and a set of cultivation techniques.

  Not to mention the law enforcement and tactics, just the spirit crystal alone is enough to make people drool.

  It's no wonder that this spiritual crystal and elixir are the most treasured possessions of cultivators. At present, he is just a miscellaneous disciple, even if his achievements are numerous, he shouldn't have received such generous rewards.

  But in the next moment, the surprise on his face was replaced by shock, because on that jade token, not only was there a reward written, but also Wang Fei's identity - formal disciple.

  Guan Shi Xin was shocked and didn't dare to underestimate Wang Fei again. In their conversation, he also used honorific language. A disciple who could receive such attention from a sect's leader must have a boundless future ahead of him. He couldn't afford to offend this person.

  Just thinking about what happened last time, my face is already a bitter sight. It seems I can only return all the Ling Crystal Pills to him.

  Those who can become stewards are generally disciples with average cultivation and a relatively long time in the sect. These people, due to their poor innate talent, cannot embark on the supreme immortal path, so they are willing to work as stewards in some temples to gain some benefits.

  The manager of the Reward Pavilion originally wanted to extort some spiritual crystals from Wang Fei, but as soon as he saw Yao Shu's decree, he knew it was impossible. Moreover, he also returned the things that were deducted last time to Wang Fei together with this time's reward.

  Wang Fei did not expect such a dramatic scene, originally he was still worried that this manager would not be like last time, now it's considered relieved.

  The steward dares to deduct miscellaneous chores from the disciples, but does not dare to deduct them from the formal disciples. The reason is that the status of each formal disciple is higher than that of the steward.

  Received the Lingjing Dan medicine, Wang Fei came to the Duobao Hall again, selected a shield-like low-grade defensive artifact and a set of light step escape techniques, and went to the personnel department...

  Personnel Department, Mo Zhang Lao looked at Wang Fei in front of him, holding the jade token in his hand, sizing up Wang Fei from head to toe, and said word by word: "You, Wang Fei, are you a formal disciple?"
