This life of mine is like walking on thin ice

Chapter 6 It's Not Easy to Be a Boss's Disciple

Outer gate, Mingdao Peak.

Lu Xuan's figure appeared on the mountain, he glanced around, and then went towards Mingdao Hall.

The outer sect covers dozens of peaks, with Mingdao Peak being the main peak. There are dozens of halls where the elders and deacons of the outer sect are based, while the outer sect disciples are stationed on various peaks.

The outer sect is divided into the men's and women's courts, each occupying more than thirty peaks, and each mountain is home to a large number of outer sect disciples.

The outer disciples are young and have low cultivation bases, so the Sanxiao Palace deliberately separates the male and female disciples to prevent them from socializing too much and doing shameful things. This would only disrupt the morale, but would mainly affect their progress in cultivation.

If you are older or promoted to the inner sect, there will be no such restriction.

Not long after, Lu Xuan received the courtyard token, clothing and many other items in Mingdao Hall, left in a hurry, and flew to Feiyun Peak on a crane.

His residence is at Feiyun Peak.

The Sanxiao Palace has an outer gate, an inner gate, and a heavenly gate, and the places where people live are different.

The outer disciples’ residences are courtyards on the mountain peaks, the inner disciples’ residences are palaces on the mountain peaks, and the celestial disciples occupy an entire mountain peak.

The disciples of the three sects not only live in different places, but also wear different clothes, which come in four colors: brown-black, blue-white, snow-blue, and silver-purple. The fourth color is exclusive to true disciples.

The top ten disciples of Tianmen are the true disciples, also known as the Ten Prodigies.

These were not said by the Lord of Zixiao Palace. Lu Xuan learned them when he heard the young men bragging on the treasure ship.

After arriving at Feiyun Peak, Lu Xuan found his own courtyard, used the token to open the formation barrier, and walked in.

The residences of outer disciples all have three courtyards. The front courtyard is where servants live, the middle courtyard is for receiving guests, and the back courtyard is for rest and practice. The entire courtyard is covered by formations to avoid being disturbed.

"I'm alone and live in such a big place." Lu Xuan walked around casually and went straight to the quiet room in the backyard.

He was born in a poor family, had no servants to serve him, and was also young. It was not easy for a small horse to pull a large cart. It would be better for him to concentrate on his training and get promoted to the inner court as soon as possible.

In the quiet room, Lu Xuan sat cross-legged, took out a Qiankun Ring, probed into it with his spiritual sense, and was immediately surprised.

"Master is so generous." After exploring the Qiankun Ring, Lu Xuan was amazed.

A magical skill called "Purple Sky Enlightenment Sutra" that can be practiced to become a god. It was created by the Purple Sky deity tens of thousands of years ago and is one of the most advanced skills in the Three Sky Palace.

There are only the first five levels here, and one can cultivate to the Purple Mansion Realm. After reaching that level, the subsequent techniques will be taught.

The four magical skills, namely, the Art of Immortality, the Purple Sky Seal, the Immortal Phoenix Sutra and the Great Freedom Heavenly Sword, are all the top-level skills in the Three Sky Palace. They were all given to Lu Xuan so that he could practice them slowly.

But only the upper half.

There are also two Yuanshi Mountains in the Qiankun Ring, as well as various elixirs that can improve cultivation, expand Dantian, strengthen the body, and nourish the soul.

"It's so cool to be the boss's personal disciple." Lu Xuan was delighted.

According to the rules of Sanxiao Palace, newcomers who join Sanxiao Palace are all outer disciples and have to live in the outer gate. Even if they are accepted as personal disciples by elders, palace masters and other powerful people, there is no exception.

Outer disciples have fixed training resources every month. They can go to various halls on Mingdao Peak to listen to the preaching of strong men, learn magical powers, Taoist methods, alchemy formations, etc. Every year, they only need to complete a simple task of slaying demons and eliminating evil in various human countries in the Central Region.

The boss's direct disciples have all of the above, and will also receive training resources from the boss, practice powerful skills, and go to the boss for guidance every month. There are many benefits. The boss's direct disciples can't stay in the outer sect for long, and will soon stand out and be promoted to the inner sect.

Generally speaking, only a genius would be accepted as a personal disciple by an elder-level powerhouse, and only a top-level genius would be accepted as a personal disciple by a hall master-level powerhouse and be trained as a priority.

Of course, even if one's aptitude does not reach the level of a genius, if one has a backer in the Sanxiao Palace, one may be accepted as a disciple by the boss at his discretion, or at least be given more training resources and vigorously trained.

It can be said that the lowest level in the outer sect is composed of young men with average qualifications and no background. It is difficult for them to stand out and be promoted to the inner sect, and it is even more difficult for them to cultivate to a high level.

Originally Lu Xuan belonged to this category, but now he disguised himself as the most top-notch supreme genius through some tricks and was accepted as a personal disciple by a palace master-level strongman.

This is more terrifying than a Husky mixed into a wolf pack.

Lu Xuan knew very well that it was difficult for an ordinary person to disguise himself as a genius or a prodigy, let alone disguise himself as the top supreme prodigy. Without follow-up measures, he would be exposed soon and be exposed as his original form, or even worse.

A month later, he had to go to Zixiao Peak to meet the Master of Zixiao Palace, who would check his progress in cultivation and give him guidance.

He is very clear about his own qualifications and understanding. Let alone a supreme prodigy, he is probably not even an ordinary genius.

The Lord of Zixiao Palace gave him five top-level magical skills and abilities, as well as a large amount of cultivation resources. The cultivation resources can make up for the lack of qualifications to a certain extent, but what about the lack of comprehension?
The Zixiao Zhengdao Sutra is very powerful. There is no doubt that this means it is extremely profound and mysterious, and extremely difficult to comprehend. It requires a very high level of understanding to get started and practice this god-level technique.

With Lu Xuan's level of comprehension, he would not be able to comprehend the basics even after ten or even a hundred years, and even a large amount of cultivation resources would be of no use.

It’s not easy to be a disciple of a big boss.

In order to maintain his genius image, avoid revealing any flaws, and rise quickly, Lu Xuan had no choice but to risk his life.

【Do you want to conduct a life simulation? 】

Lu Xuan made his choice without hesitation.

"Yes."

[Life simulation is about to begin, please be prepared]

The next moment, lines of simulation information were refreshed on the virtual panel.

[At the age of eight, you made a big splash in Sanxiao City and became the most admired supreme genius. You successfully became the disciple of the Purple Sky Palace Master and were granted divine skills, magical powers, and countless cultivation resources. The Purple Sky Palace Master placed high hopes on you.]

[The Zixiao Enlightenment Sutra is too profound. You have been studying it for a month but have not made any progress. You are panicking and heading to Zixiao Peak.]

[The Purple Sky Palace Master discovered that you had not made any progress in your cultivation and asked why. You said that the divine skills were profound and difficult to comprehend. The Purple Sky Palace Master was skeptical and suspected that your comprehension was far inferior to your aptitude. He threw you a copy of the Cave Heaven Realm Skill "Golden Yuan Sutra" and sent you away with a wave of his sleeves. You were pardoned.]

[You returned to the outer sect and tried hard to comprehend for a month. You barely comprehended some spiritual enlightenment, but you have not yet entered the realm. You went to Zixiao Peak again. The master of Zixiao Palace was a little disappointed and threw you another method of the Dragon Transformation Realm.]

[It took you twenty days to finally get started and formally practice. In the next ten days, you frantically swallowed and refined various elixirs, hoping to quickly improve your cultivation. Your aptitude is average, but your magical power is very powerful, helping you to quickly refine the elixirs, and your cultivation has made great progress. ]

[One day, you rode a fairy crane to Zixiao Palace. The master of Zixiao Palace found that you were only a step away from the middle stage of Qi Refining, and your breath was weak. It was obvious that you had swallowed a lot of pills. Finally, he was disappointed. ]

[He discovered that not only was your comprehension average, but your aptitude was also average. He had made a mistake before, but for the sake of face, he did not expel you from the sect, but only took back your magical skills and most of the elixir stones.]

[Looking at the disappointed Master, you can no longer arrogantly say "skip" and return to the outer gate in shame]
