Chapter 1 Getting Started
Among the thirteen states of Tianfeng Continent, Anzhou ranks the lowest. In terms of land area, population, degree of prosperity, and spiritual resources, they are far inferior to the four immortal states of heaven, earth, Xuan and Huang, and even among other states, they are also the tail of the crane.
However, in this barren land, the immortal cultivation sect is prosperous in a strange way. The lack of resources cannot stop people from pursuing the pursuit of becoming immortals and enlightenment. The true Xuanmen’s disdain for Anzhou just gives many small sects a space to survive.
In addition to the common Dan Sects, Sword Sects, Buddhism, Confucian Sects, Ghost Cultivators, Evil Cultivators, Demon Cultivators, Weapon Refining, Puppets, Beast Control, and Immortal Control, etc., other methods of placing things to seek immortality have also emerged, and the Spirit Beast Sect is one of the best.
The method of controlling beasts is not uncommon in the Immortal Cultivation Sect, but the Spirit Beast Sect takes the same route as human and beasts and beasts, and the way to send beasts to practice is this one in the entire Tianfeng Continent, without any semicolons.
The biggest difference between the so-called beast-sending practice and ordinary beast-suppression is that the beast-suppression practitioners are closely related to the spirit beasts, and live and die together. The spirit beasts are no longer slaves and weapons of the cultivators, but are practice partners who are one and one life.
The real sect naturally disdains to tie up their own wealth and life with a spirit beast, but the beast cultivator has the same cultivation level as the beast, and cooperates with tacit understanding. In the early stage of cultivation, cultivators of the same realm have a considerable advantage in fighting against one.
Therefore, in Anzhou, a small place where the Golden Pill Stage can be called a giant, the three golden elixir giants of the Spirit Beast Sect, including the strength of the natal spirit beasts equivalent to the six major golden elixirs, seemingly not weak, and has created a considerable reputation.
In the spring of this year, it was time for the Spirit Beast Sect to open the door to accept disciples again. The Spirit Beast Mountain was as lively as a pot, and there were crowds of people outside the sect, and the cries of various wild beasts were heard one after another, which sounded so uneasy.
Thirteen-year-old Zhang Xiaochuan was also holding a big rooster in the crowd. Xiaochuan died of both his parents since childhood, so he had to live in his uncle's house. Although his uncle and aunt treated him well, he still felt like he was living under someone else's roof. He was determined to go out to learn the Tao. His uncle and aunt had six children, so he was happy to relieve the burden. So in the spring of this year, various sects opened their doors to take disciples, and sent him to the Spirit Beast Sect to try his luck nearby.
According to the rules of the Spirit Beast Sect, disciples who want to get started must bring an animal to take an exam together. Most of the young people around them are holding cats, dogs, and some are holding eagles and horses. There are even a few children holding wild animals such as black bears, tigers, and leopards.
Because my uncle and aunt didn't have any cats or dogs, Xiaochuan just picked up the big rooster he usually fed before leaving the house and went out. This was the only one, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed.
Fortunately, he saw a little girl standing in the crowd with a fish tank, and was also rolling her eyes from others. However, the little girl's face was calm and she didn't look straight. She felt a sense of being out of the world. She couldn't help but feel a swaying in her heart, separated the crowd, and squeezed towards the girl.
"What are you squeezing?" "Haha, I came with a chicken, why didn't you bring a pig?" This sentence caused a burst of laughter.
Xiaochuan didn't dare to look up, and he squeezed to the girl with a red face, looking at the ground, hesitating there, not knowing what to do or say.
"My name is Lu Yan, where are you?"
"Ah, ah, ah, my name is Zhang, Zhang, Zhang Xiaochuan"
Xiaochuan was unable to defend himself and somehow he stumbled, and his face turned redder. Lu Yan nodded slightly and smiled. Xiaochuan couldn't help but look stunned...
"The door is open! The door is open!" The noisy crowd became even more chaotic.
As the sect opened, two cultivators walked out. One cultivator had a giant golden-eyed carving on his shoulder, tiger-headed and leopard-eyed eyes, and his feathers were shining with metallic luster. It was nearly one person tall, and he was extremely handsome.
Another cultivator had a white-scaled python on his body, his eyes were like copper bells, his eyes were fierce, and he spitted out a bright red snake letter.
A group of people outside the door, the beasts suddenly became silent, and even tigers, leopards and other beasts were trembling with fear.
At this tense and suffocating moment, Xiaochuan actually burst out and laughed. He immediately became the focus of everyone's attention again, and even Lu Yan stared at Xiaochuan with wide eyes.
Xiaochuan stuck out his tongue and whispered to Lu Yan: "Look at the eagle that is taller than a human, and it falls on his shoulders, like a camel riding a monkey." When Lu Yan heard this, he smiled sweetly, and Xiaochuan's heart rippled again.
Fortunately, the two cultivators just looked here, did not ask, but only ordered all the young men to take their animals to enter the sect for examination.
Xiaochuan used his body to protect Lu Yan, and as everyone walked in slowly, he came to a large platform with a radius of 100 meters.
The platform was surrounded by cultivators, and each cultivator was surrounded by a spirit beast, either a lion, an elephant, a python, a crocodile, a fox, ape, an elephant, or a crane, and many unknown spirit beasts, all of which were majestic and filled with spiritual energy.
On the north side of the platform, there were two old men and a middle-aged beautiful woman, who were the three golden elixir giants of the sect.
The old man in the middle was wearing a golden Taoist robe, a golden crown pressed his head, long eyebrows and thin eyes, a kind face, and a wisp of white beard floating on his chest. It was Zhang Fengyu, the leader of the Spirit Beast Sect, and a master in the late stage of the Golden Pill. His natal spirit beast was an old plum blossom deer. In addition to being large in shape, it seemed that there was nothing surprising. However, after careful examination, the old deer's face and temperament were actually similar to Zhang Fengyu, and it should have reached the point of restraint of the divine light.
The cultivator on the left also has the middle stage of the Golden Pill. He is a middle-aged short and fat man with a fat face full of flesh. Not only does he have a fat head and ears, but he still has two beards on his lips. He is dressed as a Confucian scholar, which is very inappropriate. However, looking at the powerful demon ape behind him, he is over 100 feet tall and has dark and shiny muscles, like a hill, with a ferocious face and domineering aura. He is afraid that he has awakened a few points of the bloodline of the ancient ferocious beast, and no one dares to underestimate him. It is the deputy sect leader Tian Dongpu.
On the right is the deputy sect leader Qin Shuang, a middle-aged beautiful woman, dressed in gorgeous clothes, full of pearls and jade, with a beautiful face and smiles, making people feel close to each other. However, the natal spirit beast is a red blood bat with a car-sized car plate, with blood light on his body, squinted eyes, hanging lazily on a pine tree. Each person and one beast also have the cultivation level of the early stage of the Golden Pill, and it is about to break through the mid-stage bottleneck.
The Spirit Beast Sect is not a Confucian, not a Taoist, not a Buddha, not a demon, not an evil. In addition to the unique method of beast-sending practice, it does not restrict the disciples of the sect’s disciples to practice other techniques, so all disciples, including the sect leader, make various dressings.
Ogawa and the boys couldn't help but get confused.
At this time, a head Tuo with a black tiger walked up to the person and shouted loudly: "Introduction disciples, take the exam one by one, first look at the beast fate and then test the spiritual roots. If both items are qualified, you can become an outer disciple of my Spirit Beast Sect. Once you are ready, you can sign up and go forward!"
The boys looked at each other, and it took a long time for a young man holding a tiger to walk forward. The boy was dressed in brocade, dressed in luxurious clothes, fair skin, slender figure, holding a tiger in his hand, "My name is Tian Xudong, I am 14 years old this year."
Before anyone could speak, the deputy sect leader Tian Dongpu said lightly: "It is possible to drive away wolves and tigers. Obviously, the beasts are of great fame. Just measure the spiritual roots." The other lord took a disc and handed it to the young man in a gorgeous costume. As soon as the young man touched the plate, a golden light suddenly shone on the plate. "The top-grade golden spiritual roots, pass!"
"Sect Master, this young man has extraordinary qualifications and great potential, and has already achieved the cultivation of fetal breathing. I hope the sect master will allow me to accept him as a disciple and be listed as an inner disciple."
"The top-grade spiritual roots are indeed very rare, okay, you can make the decision." Tian Dongpu actually accepted the young man as his disciple on the spot.
Seeing this, the boys were talking for a while, and the boys with beasts were even more gloomy, but Ogawa became even more ashamed.
The next test was different. Even the boy with a beast had to face the roar of the black tiger of Toutu and comfort his beast for 5 moments.
This time, the high and low judgment was made. Even some tigers and leopards would flee immediately, but some cats and dogs could hold on for 5 moments. There was even a dark-skinned boy who could actually shout his big yellow dog and the black tiger to snarl. Even the three sect leaders were amazed and nodded repeatedly.
With the spirit root test, the boy who participated in the test was soon eliminated, and the square gradually became loose. Looking at the trembling rooster in his arms, it seemed that he would just hold it looser and he was about to escape immediately. Xiaochuan, who had not yet dared to step forward, was heartbroken.
"Go and take the test!" Lu Yan stroked the rooster in Okawa's arms with her hands and whispered. At the same time, Okawa felt that the rooster in his arms suddenly settled down, and hope suddenly ignited in his heart. He didn't bother to speak, nodded and rushed out of the crowd.
"My name is Zhang Xiaochuan, I am thirteen years old this year."
"1,2,3,4,5, pass, you can test the spiritual roots."
Xiaochuan touched the spirit test plate in his hand, but his eyes looked at Lu Yan with gratitude, completely ignoring the exclamations made by everyone in the square.
"The Sect Master, he is the best earth spiritual root!"
"It's amazing!" "Oh my God, it's such a top-quality spiritual root!"
"Sect Master, now that my sect has obtained this proud son of heaven, I will surely make a big progress. Please make an exception and directly adopt him as an inner disciple, and I will accept him as a disciple, and give me careful guidance to promote my sect." The deputy sect leader Qin Shuang actually started to plan to accept his disciples.
"It's good that way. Xiaochuan, please step down first and then give the apprenticeship ceremony in the future." Zhang Fengyu pondered for a moment and agreed. Qin Shuang smiled all over his face, but Tian Dongpu laughed awkwardly, with unwillingness on his face.
With pearls and jade in front, the following tests are a bit dull, and more than a dozen young men have passed the test one after another. Among them, Lu Yan's qualifications for the top-grade water spirit root are quite good, but in comparison, it only attracted the sect leader's slight nodding and applauding, and it was obvious that everyone had already been thrust into their appetite.
Just when everyone thought the assessment would end, the waves started again.
A beautiful and charming girl in red named Ouyang Lingyun was found to have a wind-attributed spiritual root. Without waiting for others to speak, she was directly taken to the sect leader Zhang Fengyu.
At this point, the ceremony of opening the door was over. Except for Tian Dongpu's slightly disappointed, the sect leader and elders in the sect all looked happy.
