Chapter 203 Banquet benefits, two gifts(2/4)
After these days of visiting, everyone has learned a lot about Qingxuan Sect, and no longer have as many suspicions and worries as at the beginning. They have the courage to act independently, and no longer worry about "accidentally entering the White Tiger Hall".
Moreover, as everyone has a general understanding of Qingxuanzong's situation, everyone also has different tendencies in their minds about what they want to see next.
For example, President Pan, Yao Gu and others wanted to take a closer look at those "medicine mountains";
The alchemy collectors of the Professionals Association would rather go to places like the Alchemy Palace, the Talisman Array Palace, and the Soul Controlling Palace;
However, the pill-forming people in the Lord's Mansion of Jade Lake City are more interested in the operation of the inner and outer gates.
In this case, there is no need to force everyone into a team.
Meng Zhou was also happy about this. Since everyone had their own places to go, he didn't go anywhere and stayed in the cave to practice, so it didn't seem so out of the ordinary.
Moreover, he was not the only one to make this choice, there were also two experienced Dan-formers.
Meng Zhou called Yao Gu to him and told him about the arrangements for the next few days.
"It's up to you where you want to go...but it's best to act together with President Pan and the others."
Meng Zhou did not give any more instructions, nor did he warn him, "Don't cause trouble when you go out." He believed that with the experience of Yao Gu and others, there was no need for him to remind him.
Moreover, over the past few days, Meng Zhou could clearly see that the inner sect guides treated President Pan quite differently, and were more naturally close to him than when they treated Cao Lie, Song Yang and other Zhendan.
Obviously, Ding Ning's role as a law enforcement officer in the Law Enforcement Hall is not a secret to them.
With this level of status, they treated President Pan almost as one of their own.
Therefore, as long as Yao Gu and others act together with them, there will be no problem.
…
Time flew by and several days passed.
On April 20th, around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, a beautiful spaceship slid into the void in front of Linya Cave and stopped steadily.
Jing Yun stood on top of the spaceship and waited.
Meng Zhou and others, who had been notified in advance, also walked out of the cave at almost the same time and landed on the spacecraft deck one by one.
After everyone arrived, the spaceship quickly took off and flew towards the distance.
The spacecraft did not accelerate to the extreme. After traveling for more than a thousand miles, the outline of a towering mountain appeared in everyone's sight.
"That's Qingxuan Peak." Jingyun introduced.
When everyone's attention was focused on the towering Qingxuan Peak in the distance, the spacecraft began to rise into the sky along with the sudden rise of the mountain.
Soon, the people and trees on the ground became as small as grains of rice. After passing through the layers of clouds and mist, everyone saw a mountain peak standing above the clouds and mist.
At the top of the mountain, it was only a few miles away from the never-ending wind layer.
It was like a turbulent sea hanging upside down in the sky, always rushing and roaring.
It gives people the illusion that as long as they stand on the top of the mountain and jump a little, they will be sucked into it and then torn to pieces by the strong wind layer.
And on the top of the mountain, there is an "isolated island" that protrudes above the sea of clouds and is more than ten miles in radius.
"This is the top of Qingxuan Peak."
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but feel a sharp twitch in their hearts.
On the top of Qingxuan Peak, which is like an isolated island, there is a huge, majestic palace, and a huge square that is polished as smooth as a mirror.
The flowing clouds flowed like flowing water from the peak along the mountain. It really looked like I was in a fairyland.
While everyone was looking around, the spaceship slid silently to the top of Qingxuan Peak and stopped at a corner of the square. Everyone disembarked in sequence under the guidance of Jing Yun.
Everyone has calmed down their initial surprise, and everyone has a solemn expression.
Everyone followed Jing Yun as he flew across the square for a moment, arriving at the most conspicuous and majestic palace in the center.
The huge palace is spacious and bright.
The floor paved with white jade is as smooth as a mirror.
At this moment, it was already evening, and the setting sun in the west seemed to have dropped to the same height as Qingxuan Peak.
The setting sun slanted into the hall, dyeing the white jade slabs in the hall crimson, and the entire hall was filled with a brilliant red.
When Meng Zhou and others entered the hall, they found that many people had gathered in the hall.
Many of them make people feel good.
If you think about it carefully, you will see that they are all the Qingxuan Sect's elixirs that I had come into contact with at the trade fair a few days ago, and there are also many foundation-building monks.
They all gathered on one side of the palace. When they saw Meng Zhou and others entering the palace, they all turned and cast curious glances.
Although everyone's eyes have different meanings, it can be clearly seen that compared to the contact at that trade fair, these people's attitudes are much kinder, and some people even take the initiative to nod and say hello.
.
Jingyun arranged for Meng Zhou and others to take seats on the other side of the hall.
Here, a large number of tables have been placed, and on each table, there are exquisite spiritual fruit snacks, spiritual wine and spiritual tea.
Meng Zhou, Cao Lie, Song Yang and other thirteen alchemy monks, as well as President Pan, the only fake alchemy monk, all had a separate desk and were arranged in the first row, with those Qingxuan Sect monks.
Dan sat facing each other more than ten steps apart.
Behind Meng Zhou, Yao Gu, Tu Baiyao, and two other entourages were arranged on two desks, and the two of them shared one desk.
As soon as everyone took their seats, a middle-aged man walked into the hall.
But it was the man who presided over the auction a few days ago, and behind this man, there was a group of people following him in.
Among these people, Meng Zhou saw several familiar faces.
Xuan Yuanzi, Deputy Hall Master Fan, the third-level female formation master Chen Ke whom he met in the Fu Formation Hall that day, and two male and female monks who had not interacted with each other but had left a deep impression on Meng Zhou were arranged by the Qing Xuan Sect to go to Sanchuan.
The two monks of the Yuan generation who have been in charge for more than a year are one generation lower than Xuan Yuanzi, but looking at the arrangements of Qingxuanzong, we know that their abilities are still above Xuanyuanzi.
The middle-aged man who entered the hall smiled and greeted Meng Zhou, Cao Lie, Song Yang and others. He could accurately call each other by name without being introduced by anyone. Obviously, they were already quite familiar with their situation before they came.
learn.
When passing by everyone's desk, he would chat with them for a few words, which seemed very casual.
Just walking and chatting like this, he had already arrived in front of Meng Zhou from the entrance of the palace.
At this moment, Meng Zhou also knew that this person's Taoist name was Xuan Lin, he was the same generation as Xuan Yuanzi, and he was now the head of the Deacon Hall.
Excluding the five elders of Qingxuan who are similar to the spiritual totems of Qingxuanzong, in the power structure of Qingxuanzong, the sect leader stands at the top.
Then there are the heads of the second hall of the Enforcement Hall and the Deacon Hall. The status of these two people is only half a level lower than that of the sect leader. If there is a major decision, the sect leader cannot make a decision with just one word and must discuss it with the two hall leaders.
Half a floor below are several deputy sect masters, as well as the masters of the Alchemy Palace, the Talisman Palace, and the Spirit Control Palace.
If the three giants cannot make a decision, the scope of the discussion will be expanded to all deputy sect leaders and palace master levels.
If you still can't make a decision, then you have to ask the five elders of Qingxuan for instructions.
However, ninety years have passed since the birth of Qingxuanzong, and such a thing has not happened yet.
Those five people don't know where they are hiding in the Qingxuan Sect and are retreating to practice cultivation.
For the middle- and lower-level monks within the Qingxuan Sect, their understanding of the Five Elders of Qingxuan is not much better than outsiders like Meng Zhou, and it all remains at the level of "rumors" and "hearings."
Deputy hall masters such as deputy hall master Fan and deputy hall masters can only be regarded as the executors of specific aspects and specific affairs. They do not participate in the decision-making at the sect level and only have a say in the affairs of the hall and the hall.
These contents were all learned through chatting with the inner sect guides these days.
This kind of information is not a taboo topic within the Qingxuan Sect. On the contrary, everyone is very keen to discuss it in private. This can be regarded as a kind of healthy governance.
"Fellow Daoist Ge, I heard that you are very proficient in medicine?" Xuan Lin asked.
Meng Zhou felt ashamed and said: "I just like to study this way, but what I have learned are only some mountain and wild skills. I dare not claim to be proficient in it in front of your noble sect."
What he said was sincere and not against his will.
During the days when he organized a group to go to Qingxuanzong to "check in", Meng Zhou saw the details of Qingxuanzong with his own eyes.
In addition to the Alchemy Palace, the Talisman Palace, and the Spirit Control Palace, there is also a Miscellaneous Job Hall.
All professionals who do not belong to the other three halls are all included in the Miscellaneous Job Hall.
If one of the professions was singled out, it might not be enough compared to the other three temples.
However, all professions except the professions in the three palaces were included, which made the scale of the Miscellaneous Jobs Palace still larger than that of the other three palaces.
Such a large Qingxuan Sect naturally has pharmacists.
It may even be the only force within the Qingxuan Territory that has managed to build a large scale of pharmacists and form a relatively complete inheritance system.
These pharmacists are all classified under the name of Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
Among them, the one with the highest professional level is said to have reached the third-level mid-level as a pharmacist.
However, when Meng Zhou and others went to "check in", they were in retreat, and they only knew each other.
Of course, Meng Zhou did not regret this, otherwise, it would be troublesome if he accidentally revealed too much when discussing and communicating with the other party.
Xuan Lin didn't bother with Meng Zhou's qualifications as a pharmacist. He just nodded and said with a smile:
"I heard from Senior Brother Xuan Yuan that you like to practice pure cultivation, but you don't hesitate to take action against those monks who are building foundations or even cultivating Qi. You are even willing to diagnose and treat seriously ill and dying monsters. This kind of compassion and benevolence is more powerful than the medicine master's achievements itself.
