Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 107: The Immortal Sect did it too?
Ordinary people who have offered treasures are not qualified to climb the mountain and enter the mountain gate. They will only take away the badge of registered disciple and a set of introductory exercises at the foot of the mountain.

And they will be told that if their skills do not improve and they fail to meet the test standards for the outer sect, they will still not be able to climb the mountain and enter the mountain gate.

Therefore, although the status of a registered disciple is rare and is recognized by the Five Thunder Palace, to be honest, it does not mean that he has a deep connection with the Five Thunder Palace.

But Yang Qian is a little different this time.

Following Deacon Yu out of the foot of Leiming Mountain, Yang Qian saw the outer gate of the Five Thunder Palace on the hillside of another mountain on the left side of Leiming Mountain.

On the road, you can see many young people muttering some obscure words while walking.

These people would only look up and greet Deacon Yu when they saw him, and then continue with what they were doing while mumbling something, which looked very strange.

When passing by a small training ground, Yang Qian also saw many disciples of the Five Thunder Palace jumping up and down, gesturing quickly with their hands and muttering to themselves. From time to time, a flash of lightning would suddenly flash in the hands of these people, and if that happened, the person would be very excited, otherwise he would be very sad.

"Deacon Yu, what is this?"

"Haha, the pressure on outer disciples is very high. Every six months, there is a training assessment. No matter whether it is magic or skills, you need to pass it. Otherwise, the allocation of training resources will be gradually reduced, and it will be even more difficult to enter the inner sect in the future.

Therefore, apart from completing their respective tasks, the outer sect disciples spend almost all their time practicing their own skills.”

Yang Qian suddenly felt that the scene before him was familiar. He couldn't help but think to himself: It seems that even if I enter the immortal gate, life will not be easy!
Finally, Deacon Yu took Yang Qian to a side hall inside the outer gate, where there were several long tables with jade plates on them.

“You have already obtained the entry-level book ‘The True Meaning of the Five Qis’, which was given to you by the Third Elder after you successfully stepped onto the 300th step of the Thunder Mountain Ladder this time, allowing you to enter the outer sect as a registered disciple.

From now on, whenever you have practiced the "Five Qi Enlightenment True Meaning" until the five qi are clear and can flow freely in your meridians, you can come to the mountain again and I will help you build your foundation."

After a pause, Deacon Yu pointed to several long tables in the side hall and continued to tell Yang Qian: "The white jade discs here are all basic entry-level skills, and there are also some teachings on magic. You can choose one according to the corresponding brief description. The red jade discs are basic magic methods, which are also available for you to choose.

However, I suggest you choose the essence of martial arts as a supplementary practice. Although magic can turn into physical strength, it is still too ambitious for someone like you who has not even cultivated the five qi.

Of course, I am just suggesting that everything should be based on your own wishes. This is the benefit of your offering, and it is also the preferential treatment given to you by the Third Elder. "

Yang Qian nodded and thanked him quickly.

"Okay, you make your choice. After you've made your choice, just give this sign to the disciple on duty at the door. He will help you unlock the restrictions on the jade disc, and then you can go down the mountain. Remember, don't be impatient when it comes to cultivation. Although you're past your best age, you're not old either. Perhaps you can benefit from it."

"Thank you, Deacon Yu! I will definitely keep your teachings in mind!" Yang Qian bowed deeply, feeling very grateful to this kind-hearted deacon from the outer gate of the Five Thunder Palace.

Deacon Yu waved his hand and left the side hall.

Yang Qian was not in a hurry to choose, he just walked slowly in the side hall, carefully reading the brief descriptions next to each jade plate on the table, preparing to read them all before making a move.

The descriptions of the exercises are actually similar, and after Yang Qian had the "Five Qi Enlightenment True Meaning" in his hand, he didn't have much demand for introductory exercises. There is also what Deacon Yu mentioned before, "the auxiliary cultivation of the true meaning of the exercises", which is similar to the tips for practicing.

As for the magic, Yang Qian was also curious. Even though Deacon Yu reminded him, he knew that his situation was special.

With the experience panel, although Yang Qian's talent in cultivating immortality is mediocre, he can still rely on experience points to push his skills to the top. At that time, it will not be very meaningful for Yang Qian to practice any kind of skills as a supplement to the true meaning. On the contrary, the basic magic methods are most suitable for him.

So after Yang Qian finished reading the white jade disc, he started reading the red jade disc on the table. For a moment, even the brief description of the technique fascinated Yang Qian.

"You seem to be particularly interested in magic? But Yu Hao should have told you before that it's a bit too early for you to choose magic now, right?"

Suddenly a voice sounded in the side hall, bringing Yang Qian back to his senses.

Yang Qian turned his head and saw a gray-haired man looking at him with a half-smile. The robe he was wearing and the jade pendant around his waist were of the same standard as Deacon Yu.

"I have seen this deacon. I am just curious and take a look. Please forgive me for making a fool of myself."

"Are you Yang Qian? Are you the head of the police in Sandai City?" The man who came in did not respond to Yang Qian, but walked in front of Yang Qian and stood still, making it clear that he was coming for Yang Qian.

"Yes, young Yang Qian, nice to meet this deacon."

"Do you know Xu Mingjing?"

Yang Qian was even more surprised. Because he actually knew Xu Mingjing, and he had a close relationship with him. Because Xu Mingjing was one of the officials who was corrupted by Song Qixun, and he was killed by Yang Qian himself.

Being asked this question in person by a steward of the Five Thunder Palace, Yang Qian still felt a little nervous.

Could he be here to cause trouble like the Black Mountain Demon King?
"I know this guy, but I'm not familiar with him." He had already pointed out three cities, so Yang Qian couldn't say he didn't know him. But he also left himself a way out.

"Xu Mingjing owns one of my businesses. He's now in jail and probably dead, so I want to find a suitable person to help me look after him. Yang Qian, are you willing?"

"Ah? I don't know what kind of business this is? I'm just a constable in Sandao City."

"Spirit Stone business. By the way, you should know what a Spirit Stone is, right?"

Before Yang Qian could finish his words, he was interrupted by the other party using the word "spiritual stone".

Spirit Stone Business? !
So Yang Qian could only nod woodenly, indicating that he knew what spirit stones were.

"There is a spiritual stone mine in the northwest of Sandao City. It is very small, but the grade is very good. 20% of the ore produced is of medium quality. It belongs to the royal family of your Hongwu Dynasty and has been excavated in secret. But it is not easy to mine spiritual stones, and the miners of your Hongwu Dynasty are not skilled enough, so there will always be omissions. This gives some mining thieves who specialize in picking up leaks an opportunity.

Xu Mingjing was in charge of delivering supplies to the mine, so he was also the one who could legitimately take out the stolen proceeds from the mine. He was considered a very important channel.

So, Yang Qian, are you willing to help me reconnect this broken line? This is the reward."

As he spoke, the man spread out his palm, revealing a round pill.
