Immortal Road

Chapter 5 Outer Disciples

It was another beautiful morning. The deacon of the outer sect of Shuiling Sect stretched his body and felt very comfortable watching the busy disciples of the outer sect in the courtyard.

This outer sect deacon's surname is Hong, and he is a disciple of the Hong family, an affiliated family of Shuiling Sect. He has average qualifications and managed to reach the ninth level of the Qi training stage with the help of the family's spiritual elixir. However, he still can't touch the edge of the tenth level of Qi training stage. So he donated the position of an outer sect deacon to look after these almost forgotten outer sect disciples.

Within Shuiling Sect, there are inner disciples and outer disciples. Inner disciples are provided with a lot of spiritual stones and elixirs every month. As long as they practice well and complete a certain amount of sect tasks, there are also regular lectures by deacons and elders. The outer disciples are engaged in some miscellaneous jobs. To put it bluntly, they serve the inner disciples. They get one or two low-level pills every month, and the spiritual stones can only be earned by their own hard work.

Disciples at the ninth level of Qi training also have a very high status among the inner disciples, not to mention that Fatty Hong also holds the position of deacon of the outer disciples.

Therefore, Fatty Hong lived a very comfortable life. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the master of this place.

"My dear, why isn't the water tank full yet? As a punishment, you won't be allowed to eat this morning."

"Golden Gouzi, you are lazy again. You don't have to eat at noon today. Let me know that next time, you won't have to eat for a month."

While Fatty Hong was giving orders, he suddenly felt a pressure coming from the sky, which made him almost breathless.

When he looked up, he saw that it was the deacon elder, and there were four foundation-building elders behind him.

"See you elders!" Fatty Hong quickly knelt down and saluted, thinking secretly in his heart: "Is it possible that the elders noticed that I withheld the elixir? No, it's not such a small thing that five elders would personally come to see it!"

"Fat man Hong, where are the disciples from Shijia Village who came yesterday?" the elder deacon said coldly.

"I'm...resting. I'll call them out quickly." Deacon Hong ran over in a hurry, but he was secretly relieved, but he also started to think about what these new disciples were. Why did the five elders pay so much attention to it?

Not long after, Ishikawa and several others came to the courtyard and saluted like others.

Obviously, these old men floating in the sky are all people with extremely advanced immortal skills.

Elder Yan took out a bronze mirror and looked at them one by one. After a moment, he nodded and moved his lips slightly, seeming to say something to the other elders.

Several other elders nodded.

"This girl is now my disciple." Elder Yan threw out a flying sword, stepped on it, grabbed Qingchuan, and flew hundreds of feet away in an instant.

"You!" Elder Sun shook his head helplessly. In front of these juniors, he couldn't lose his dignity for a new disciple.

The remaining four people began to look at Ishikawa.

Even Ishikawa could feel several blazing eyes looking back and forth on him.

"Your name is Ishikawa, right?" An old voice sounded.

"It's the disciple." Ishikawa replied respectfully.

Elder Yun waved his sleeves, and a huge ball of light enveloped Ishikawa and several elders.

"You have good qualifications, and I intend to accept you as my disciple. However, as the ancients said, those who achieve great things must first work hard on their mind and body. So I will teach you some skills first, but you have to hone your skills in this outer sect. Years. During this period, you must be like other outer disciples and not be arrogant at all, otherwise, you will be expelled from the sect and will never be able to cultivate as immortals."

"Disciple, I obey." Ishikawa saluted happily. Obviously, these five elders are all highly respected people in the Shui Ling Sect, and this elder is the head of the five. If he can be accepted as a disciple, his future will naturally be unlimited.

"You go to the back mountain of the sect on the first day of every month, and I will wait for you there to teach you the skills."

The disciples outside the light ball have no idea what is happening inside the light ball.

"Fat Hong, the remaining disciples will belong to your outer sect." The elder deacon gave a few words and left with the swords of the other elders.

After the elders left for a long time, the outer disciples got up from the ground, their bodies soaked with sweat, and started talking among themselves. No one expected that five elders would appear collectively in the sky above the outer sect.

………………

"Senior Brother Yun, I just felt like someone was spying on us, and their cultivation level is far higher than mine."

"I feel the same way. It's strange. All the outer sect disciples are ordinary outer sect disciples. Fatty Hong, who has the highest level of cultivation, is only at the ninth level of Qi training. Give him ten courages and he wouldn't dare to peek at us." Elder Deacon Ruo Said thoughtfully.

"Is it the boy named Ishikawa?"

Elder Yun said calmly: "He doesn't have any spiritual energy in his body, and he hasn't even reached the first level of Qi training. How can he spy on us? But this feeling is indeed strange. When I go back to preside over the mountain protection formation, you guys will inspect it carefully. You must not let other sects discover Ishikawa, especially the Tuling Sect.”

………………

Unknowingly, Ishikawa has been at Shuiling Sect for a month, and the turmoil in the dark has not had any impact on this little outer disciple.

Ishikawa quickly integrated into the life of the outer disciples. Do something like chopping wood to make a fire and carrying water for cooking every day. This was no different from his previous life.

But at night, Ishikawa changed his appearance. Under the guidance of the old beggar, Ishikawa began to learn the serious introductory cultivation technique "Tuna Jue".

According to the old beggar, this exercise is a must-learn for every cultivator. This is also the first step to condense the vitality of heaven and earth.

Ishikawa spent almost every night without sleep, breathing in and out. Within a month, Ishikawa was able to vaguely sense where the vitality of heaven and earth was.

On the first day of the second month, Ishikawa went to have an appointment with Elder Yun in the back mountain.

"Ishikawa pays homage to the master." Ishikawa respectfully performed the master-disciple ceremony.

"Get up." Elder Yun sat on a piece of bluestone and said, "You have performed well this month. Today I will teach you the main technique of our sect, "Water Dragon Jue"."

"The Qi absorbs the Tianhai and travels around...receiving the Qi of heaven and earth, water and spirit..."

Ishikawa listened carefully and began to follow Elder Yun's instructions. But he really couldn't feel any water spirit.

Half an hour later, after a set of exercises was completed, Elder Yun's body was actually a little wet, wrapped in some tiny dewdrops, and his skin was extremely rosy and shiny.

"Can you feel a cool aura?" Elder Yun looked at Ishikawa with some confusion. It stands to reason that even a mortal without spiritual roots who practices "Water Dragon Art" can feel a trace of dew aura.

And there's no reason why Ishikawa, who has five spiritual roots, can't feel anything?

"Disciple is stupid, I really didn't feel anything." Ishikawa said with some shame. Every time Ishikawa follows the formula and uses the technique, it seems to be resisted by the yellow stone on his chest. Not to mention the moisture, even the dew attached to Ishikawa's body can evaporate.

"It's really weird!" Elder Yun said to himself, grabbed Ishikawa's arm, closed his eyes slightly, and said immediately: "That's not right, the meridians are unobstructed, there is no way that there is no reaction to this technique."

"Then let me help you, master." Elder Yun's expression changed, and a biting cold air instantly entered Ishikawa's body.

"Ah! It's so cold!" Ishikawa's face was pale, he held his belly in his hands and rolled on the ground.

"Okay, let's go back. I will inject a trace of water spirit into you. You can use this water spirit to slowly nourish your meridians. You must practice this technique on time, do you understand?"

"Disciple knows." Ishikawa endured the stinging pain of the cold and got up from the ground. "Disciple, please leave!"

………………

"This old man is really cruel." A voice came from Ishikawa's mind. This was of course the old beggar.

"Senior, how do you say this?" Ishikawa asked doubtfully.

"Remember that I told you that cultivation must start with the "Tuna Jue". This person did not teach you the "Tuna Jue" at the beginning, but directly taught you the "Water Dragon Jue". Isn't this strange?"

"This..." Although Ishikawa was confused, he still said forcefully: "Maybe this master has other plans."

"Arrangement?" The old beggar laughed wildly and said: "You have five earth spiritual roots. You have a rare qualification in a hundred years. He actually taught you water-based exercises. Is this the arrangement of a foundation-building monk? He just forcibly injected you with a ray of water." Water aura is enough to make you go crazy while practicing earth-based skills. I would be really surprised if this person doesn't want to harm you."

"How is that possible?" Ishikawa couldn't believe this was true. After all, he had no enmity with Elder Yun. Elder Yun had no reason to harm him.

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not." The old beggar said: "If you listen to me, I guarantee that you will successfully build the foundation within three years, and then you will be able to fight with him. If not, you will become the prey of others. The weak will eat the strong. , This is the law of the cultivation world. Also, thanks to this earth mother stone, the earth spirit energy in you can be hidden, making him think that you have not practiced any skills at all. Otherwise, today's matter will not be that simple."

"Thank you for your advice, senior. What is this earth mother stone?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." The old beggar said somewhat covertly.

Every time I met the old beggar's life experience and things about this stone, the old beggar never said a word.

Ishikawa sat on the futon, groping for the warm yellow stone in his arms while thinking about what happened today, and his thoughts became confused.

Now he is in the Shuiling Sect and is a member of the lowest level. If he cannot improve his strength, he will have no choice but to be slaughtered by others. Although the old beggar on the jade stone seemed to have his own interests in mind, Ishikawa didn't know his details at all, and he might have some conspiracy. Just as the old beggar said, if you want to live a long time in the world of cultivation, you must be cautious. The only way is to improve your own strength.
