On the mountain road, Mingtu leads the way, and Qin Xianyu walks behind Mingtu.

The scenery in the mountains is beautiful, but Qin Xianyu has no intention of seeing more.

"The Yan land in Zhongzhou has been passed down from ancient times to the present for thousands of generations, and has always been the nine veins. These nine peaks are the momentum of guarding the central government in all directions. The uncle of the junior master, the main peak where you and I are now is slightly higher than the other peaks. The main hall above the top of the peak is the most solemn place in this sect. Any matters that are important and discussion are accepted and distinguished guests of the Immortal Sect are all here."

Mingtu said slowly: "This palace is relatively simple. Because it was built by the ancestors tens of thousands of years ago, the building at that time might not be as luxurious and so detailed as it is in today's world. Therefore, it seems simple. Since the leaders of all generations, in order to show solemnity, this ancient sword temple has not changed, but has been repaired from time to time."

"Now what is waiting for above the Ancient Sword Hall is the real person in the head of the sect and the other eight veins."

Mingtu said: "The nine immortal sects have been passed down for a long time. Since they founded the ancestors of the sect, they have been unable to count them. Therefore, they mainly focus on the masters of the sect and plan to be disciples of one generation. In this regard, the disciples belong to the Ming generation of the three generations, and the Shan generation belongs to the fourth generation. However, the Shan generation has been around for decades, and the oldest disciples are nearly 6 years old. The Shan generation should be about to end and start the next generation, but they still belong to the fourth generation of disciples."

Qin Xianyu could hear some different meanings.

"Since the nine immortal sects have been passed down for many generations, and have been for ten thousand years, why are there only four generations so far? And this fourth generation seems to have only been in less than sixty years... Could it be... the leaders of each immortal sect will also be passed down?"

Mingtu may not be able to see this when Qin Xianyu thought in his heart, but he did not reply to this.

Mingtu said slowly: "All the disciples in the sect are from Zhongzhou. Yandi is in charge of Zhongzhou, and hundreds of millions of people are under control. Any baby born in the birthplace is still in the cradle, and the roots and bones must be tested. Those with the best roots and bones are selected and included in the door wall and taught them. Then, based on their future understanding, foundation, Taoism, and other reasons, make decisions. Excellent people can enter the inner door, while those with a little worse are demoted from the outer door."

Qin Xianyu was silent for a moment, following Shanying and others, as well as the four generations of disciples who were kneeling to welcome him just now, he had a clear general outline of the so-called "slightly worse".

The seedlings selected from the Yan land in Zhongzhou must have excellent roots and bones, and no matter how bad they are, they will not be much worse. Even disciples who have been demoted from the outside sects, they are probably only a handful of dazzling geniuses in other sects.

"My Yandi is one of the three great sword immortal holy lands, and it is also the Immortal Sect. It is the location of the fairy mountain blessed land that countless people in the world admire."

Mingtu said: "Every year, some people will select babies from all over the country, only children under the age of three. Since then, they will teach them in the door."

"As for children over three years old, they already have ambition and know how to recognize things. Therefore, they do not enter the sect, even if there are exceptions, there are few. After all, the practitioners who have mastered their skills and have mature minds. Whether they have ulterior motives or not, they are already mature people. They have their own ideas and practice outside, which is not taught from childhood. They will definitely not be as loyal as their disciples. Secondly, they will be Taoism in the external sect. I also disdain."

Halfway through, Mingtu paused again. He said, "The vast Zhongzhou has a vast territory and countless populations. It is all under the control of Yan land. No matter how immortal roots and Taoist bones are, how high and brilliant are, how lacking Yan land in Zhongzhou is? Therefore, for children over three years old, they rarely get into the door walls, and those who lead art to join the teacher will be kept out."

Qin Xianyu smiled and said, "For the mortal people, it is unattainable. I am afraid that they can send their children into the Immortal Sect."

Mingtu nodded, indifferent tone, and said, "This is natural."

Qin Xianyu smiled slightly and did not speak again.

What Mingtu said to him seemed irrelevant, but in fact it was a reminder.

The disciples of Yandi in Zhongzhou grew up in the Immortal Sect since childhood. With the teachings of the Immortal Sect, they must regard the sect as their family, teachers as their father, and brothers as their brothers. They have deep affection and loyalty in the same family. Any such teachings will inevitably lead to xenophobic thoughts, and they will definitely not like outsiders to enter the wall.

But now, I am an outsider, not a person from Zhongzhou, nor a disciple who was taught since childhood, and I was over three years old, and I am still a person with the skills. I am not in line with the rules of the school. Even if I become an ordinary disciple from Yanzhou, it is an exception.

But now, he is not an ordinary disciple.

But the uncle of Yandi.

The ancestor in the eyes of four generations of disciples.

Not only the disciples, but also the heads of each vein, may not be willing to recognize this junior brother, otherwise, four generations of disciples such as Shanying and Shanren could insult the young master at will.

But Qin Xianyu was not very angry.

Even if you are an immortal, you are not a saint after all. It is difficult to treat all living beings as equals as a saint. In the end, there is still a difference between closeness and alienation. It is clear which one is more valued.

To put it bluntly, the disciples in the sect are like children who grew up under their knees and raised by themselves, knowing the roots and the bottom of their hearts. When outsiders come to the door, they are like adoptive sons who meet by chance and recognize them due to rules. In comparison, the latter is ultimately outsiders.

For the Yan land in Zhongzhou, I am the latter.

Mingtu hints about these things, but he did not accept his uncle, his junior master. Judging from his words, Qin Xianyu knew that Mingtu might not be so peaceful.

"The vast Zhongzhou has a vast territory and countless populations, all under the control of Yandi. No matter how immortal roots and Taoist bones are, how great the great Qijie, how can we find Yandi in Zhongzhou?"

There is no lack of arrogance in his words, and he is also dissatisfied with Qin Xianyu's entry into the tenth vein of Yandi in Zhongzhou to show his dissatisfaction. The words "I Zhongzhou Yandi" are equivalent to ranking him among outsiders.

...

Mingtu abides by the rules and is serious in nature. Although he is not very happy with this uncle of the junior teacher, he is an elder of the master after all, and he dares not disrespect or dares to make other thoughts.

On the mountaineering road, Mingtu picked some important matters, focused on the discussion, and explained the customs of Zhongzhou and the more important parts of the etiquette of Yan. Other details should be ignored, but some important points should be paid attention to.

Along the way, I saw the palace in the clouds and mist above.

On both sides of the stone steps, there are green trees and red flowers, flowing water and clear ponds, and cranes and spirit birds.

Another strange beast crawled and a spirit beast paced.

There is a plaque at the top of the palace, with the words "Ancient Sword" written on it. The handwriting is hazy, as if it is in the smoke. But Qin Xianyu could clearly know that it was the word "Ancient Sword".

On both sides of the Ancient Sword Hall, there are eight Taoist children, both of whom are twelve or thirteen years old, with a handsome face, and all of whom are at the peak of Qi training, which is enough to release true qi.

Only these few Taoist children, in any sect, are rare talents. In the holy dynasty of the great masters in the lower realm, can be called a rare talent in a thousand years. But here, there are sixteen people, separated on both sides, with respectful expressions, and only serve as Taoist children to welcome guests.

"Welcome to the first seat of the ten meridians."

All the Taoist children saluted together, and their movements were neat and without any complicated matters. (To be continued)
