Choices and Questions
Everyone's breathing stopped. The pressure that came at them made them unable to say a word.
Everyone looked around. This was a hall that was hundreds of feet square.
In the center of the hall was a statue of a patriarch. Incense was burning around him, and his golden body was brilliant.
There was a jade seat in the middle of the table, and a middle-aged man was sitting on it.
This person had phoenix eyes, tall eyebrows, and a strange face. He had a one-inch beard and was wearing a purple-gold ceremonial robe. He was the sect master of the Thousand Essence Sect, Perfected Yun Yin.
On the right were the white-browed Immortal Yunli of Jinyue Peak, who was wearing a purple ceremonial robe and was present at the Spirit Root Test when he entered the sect.
There were also 24 chairs on both sides of the hall, and 24 cultivators in yellow robes sat on them.
These 24 cultivators all had gold-rimmed collars on their robes, indicating their different identities.
The 24 elders of the Thousand Essence Sect were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Behind each of the elders, there were some inner sect disciples in yellow robes. There were about 50 of them.
Ye Changkong and Cao Li were among them.
Wei Tianlong stood in front of everyone and cupped his hands towards the Sect Master." Reporting to the Sect Master, everyone has been brought here.”
Daoist Master Hidden Cloud nodded slightly and looked at the 20 new inner sect disciples.
His voice was calm but powerful." From today onwards, you are all inner sect disciples of the Thousand Essence Sect.”
"This recruitment of inner disciples is for a major event in a year.”
"Now, you have two choices."
"The first option is to not participate in the event in a year and directly enter the inner sect to cultivate.”
"The second option is to participate in a major event in a year. The sect will give you resources and nurture you carefully during this year.”
"The top three winners of that great event will receive a Foundation Establishment Pill when they reach the peak of the Aura Refining realm.”
"The person who gains the most can be accepted as a personal disciple by any Foundation Establishment Elder.”
"What do you choose now?"
Daoist Master Hidden Cloud's gaze fell on everyone, and everyone's hearts trembled.
At this moment, they finally understood why the inner sect assessment that was held once every ten years was brought forward.
Various thoughts flashed through everyone's mind as they analyzed the pros and cons of the two choices.
Lu Hao's heart raced. The first choice is obviously a screening.”
"Those who are unwilling to contribute to the sect will never receive any favor or nurturing from the sect.”
"We can only rely on ourselves to fight for resources. Compared to the wandering cultivators outside, the only advantage we have is that we can exchange for resources through merit points and low-grade spirit stones.”
"Foundation Establishment Pills are not something that can be exchanged for with just merit points and low-grade spirit stones.”
"This thing is a restricted item in any sect.”
"Once you step into the Foundation Establishment stage, you can be called an ancestor in the sect.”
"In the end, there's no choice.”
With a thought, Lu Hao already had a choice.
"Sect Master, I choose the second option."
Making the first choice, Lu Hao immediately attracted Perfected Cloudhide's attention.
The other party smiled." Alright."”
It was only one word, but the effect Lu Hao wanted had already been achieved.
Buying a horse bone with a thousand gold coins. Being the first to take the lead was a demonstration. At least, he had caught the attention of the sect master. Naturally, he would not be spared from all kinds of resources and cultivation.
Elder Huang looked at Lu Hao and nodded in satisfaction.
"The true path of immortality lies in the word 'contending' and grasping the essence.”
As Lu Hao spoke, the second person was Chen Zhangtian." I choose the second option.”
"I choose the first option,"
"I choose the second option."
…………
One after another, 15 out of the 20 chose the second path.
Daoist Master Hidden Cloud nodded slightly." Since we've made our choice, let's start paying our respects to the Ancestral Master.”
"The ceremony…"
…………
Two days had passed, and the people who had made their choices and paid their respects to the Ancestral Master had already entered the inner sect.
Lu Hao was assigned an independent courtyard.
There were pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, and strange trees and flowers were everywhere. It was a natural and beautiful scenery.
At this moment, he was sitting in a pavilion in the garden, reading a jade book.
On it were all the basic Qi Condensation techniques and spells of the sect.
He could choose as he wished, and the number was five, without any restrictions.
Every month, he would also receive 10 bottles of Essence Replenishment Pills, worth 20 low-grade spirit stones. They were all provided by the sect for free.
There was also an inner sect lecture hall. Every day, an elder would explain difficult cultivation problems there.
They could ask questions about cultivation at any time.
This kind of treatment could not be said to be bad. Compared to outer sect disciples, it was like heaven and earth.
Apart from that, he also received a low-grade magic robe, which was specially given to him by Perfected Yun Yin.
Lu Hao naturally understood that this was his reward.
Looking at the spells and fundamental laws on the jade book, Lu Hao was deep in thought.
"At present, my normal speed of condensing spiritual energy is one per day. With the Essence Replenishment Pill, I can only reach three.”
His gaze fell on his level data.
[Level: Refined Qi Level 3 47/300]
"According to the current progress, it will take more than three months to reach the fourth qi layer.”
"After a year, I will only be infinitely close to the sixth level.”
"The possibility of taking the lead in that major event is very low.”
"The possibility of taking the lead in that major event is very low.”
"The death rate of that event must be very high. The probability of us newly recruited inner disciples being cannon fodder is very high.”
Lu Hao knew very well that the inner sect disciples behind those elders did not seem like people who would participate in such a major event.
"First, I want to improve my fundamental method and speed up my cultivation.”
Thinking of this, his gaze fell on the ten most powerful Qi Refinement techniques on the jade book.
[Boundless Ocean Technique],[Starlight Qi Refinement Technique],[Soaring Flames Technique]…
These ten cultivation techniques were almost all single-attribute cultivation techniques that targeted a certain type of spirit root.
"I have five elements mixed spiritual roots, so I can only choose cultivation techniques that involve the five elements. There's a high chance that I can cultivate them.”
"The Boundless Sea Technique is a water attribute cultivation technique. It focuses on a rich spiritual energy. Coupled with my super powerful magical ability, it can greatly increase my combat strength.”
After choosing the cultivation technique, he received the original cultivation technique on the same day.
After reading it, the cultivation technique appeared on the screen.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed, and he had accumulated 15 rays of light, directly raising his understanding of the Boundless Ocean Technique to perfection.
With all the tricks in mind, he quickly circulated the spiritual energy in his body and circulated it along the path of the cultivation technique.
In a trance, he entered a meditative state and left.
When he woke up, Lu Hao's expression was gloomy.
"Something's not right. Why hasn't my spiritual energy refinement speed increased? Instead, it has decreased."
"It's already been a day, and you haven't even successfully refined a single strand of spiritual energy?”
"What's going on?"
Sensing the changes in the spiritual energy in his body, Lu Hao's expression changed. A bad feeling welled up in his heart.
"Looks like I have to make a trip to the lecture hall to figure out what this Qi Refining technique is all about.”
He looked up at the sky. At this moment, the sun rose from the west, and a wave of Yang qi filled the world.
"The timing is just right!"
