The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

Five days passed in a blink of an eye.

The selection of disciples in Wangxian City was over, and the four major sects left with their favorite disciples in the direction of the sect.

The casual cultivators selected by the four major sects were all happy, and those who were not selected could only watch these people leave with envy.

When he came out of the tent, Matthew finally saw the Qingyun Boat mentioned by Zhu Que.

To call it a boat is a bit of an understatement.

This boat is more than 20 feet long and 45 feet wide. It exudes a bright green light and is very magical. There are three floors inside.

All the selected casual cultivators live on the first floor, the Qingyu Valley disciples live on the second floor, and the third floor is occupied by Zhu Que and other people with high cultivation.

Although Matthew's identity is somewhat special, he is still arranged on the first floor.

Zhu Que told Matthew that they still have a long way to go to Qingyu Valley, and it will take at least one or two months to fly, so Matthew can practice on the flying boat with peace of mind during this time.

Matthew naturally had no objection to this and stayed in the room to practice peacefully.

Unknowingly, the flying boat had been flying for nearly a month.

At first, Matthew felt a little novel and often left the room to look at the scenery outside, but after a long time, he felt bored and stayed in the room to practice.

During this period, Zhu Que did not come to Matthew.

But Li Mu came twice, and his purpose was very simple, that is, he wanted to use the things in his hand to exchange with Matthew for Zhu Que's alchemy experience.

Anyone with a normal mind would not take out the things given by the master and exchange them with others.

Matthew would naturally not do such a thing, and immediately rejected Li Mu's request.

After that, Li Mu never came to disturb his practice again.

One day, Matthew, who was meditating and practicing, suddenly felt that the flying boat paused. With doubts in his heart, he left the room and came to the deck.

When he arrived, many people had already arrived on the deck before him.

"We have arrived in front of the mountain protection formation of Qingyu Valley. Everyone, come out." An old and kind voice sounded in everyone's ears.

Zhu Que had already told Matthew that the old man leading the team this time was named Yun Fuzi, who was already in the late stage of Jindan cultivation and was only one step away from the great perfection. He was indeed very high in Qingyu Valley and must not be offended.

As soon as Yun Fuzi finished speaking, everyone in the room came to the deck, and Yun Fuzi himself appeared at the bow at some point.

"Greetings to Master Yun!" After everyone came out, they all bowed to Yun Fuzi.

"Everyone, get up. After entering this formation, you will be members of Qingyu Valley. Let me be frank. What I hate most in my life is people who betray the sect. If anyone among you does something that is detrimental to the sect, don't blame me for not thinking of the friendship between fellow disciples!" Yun Fuzi said at the end, and there was a murderous intent in his voice, which made everyone who heard these words shudder, and all the eyes looking at Yun Fuzi were full of fear.

"As expected of a late Jindan cultivator, just a look almost made me kneel down." After being glanced at by Yun Fuzi, Matthew's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

After Yun Fuzi finished speaking, he took off the orange token hanging on his waist and threw it forward.

After the token flew out for dozens of feet, it was blocked by an invisible object, and then a circle of ripples appeared.

Then, the token flashed and disappeared.

In a flash, a huge black hole appeared.

Under Yun Fuzi's control, the giant boat sailed into the black hole.

As soon as he entered the black hole, Matthew immediately felt countless divine consciousness sweeping over him, as if his secrets were about to be seen through.

However, in just a dozen breaths, the giant boat passed through the black hole, and the divine consciousness attached to it disappeared.

What was presented to everyone was a dreamlike scene.

There were auspicious clouds floating in the sky, and there were groups of flying cranes on the horizon. Below were towering peaks, and some adjacent peaks were connected by cableways. A rough count showed that there were hundreds of peaks alone. As for the exact number, no one explained it, and Matthew and his party had no way of knowing.

Occasionally, a few people could be seen stepping on magic tools and flying in the air. After seeing the flying boat, all these people stopped and saluted from a distance.

"Master Zhu, you can go back with your apprentice and Dan Tong first, and I will take the rest to report to the headmaster." Yun Fuzi looked at Zhu Que and said kindly.

"Dan Tong?" Matthew was obviously stunned when he heard these two words.

He didn't know when Zhu Que had accepted another Dan Tong.

But when he saw Li Mu walk out of the crowd and stand behind Zhu Que, he was surprised again.

"When did this guy become Zhu Lao's Dan Tong..." Matthew muttered in his heart, and walked towards Zhu Que.

"Thank you, Uncle Yun."

Zhu Que bowed and thanked him, then pulled Matthew and Li Mu over, released a small boat and flew away.

"I'll take you to get the entry items first, and then go to my residence." Zhu Que, who was standing on the small boat, said softly.

Matthew and the other two had no objection to this.

"This kid gave me some items that I couldn't refuse, so I made an exception and accepted him as a Dan Tong." Seeing that Matthew, who was standing on the small boat, still had a puzzled look on his face, Zhu Que had to explain to you through voice transmission.

Then, Zhu Que explained some things about Dan Tong to Matthew.

At this point, Matthew knew what the so-called Dan Tong was.

It turns out that besides apprentices, alchemists also have apprentices and alchemy children.

The simplest thing for an apprentice is to learn the skills of an alchemist.

Although apprentices are not as good as apprentices, they can learn something more or less. Whether they can become real apprentices depends on their talent and ability.

But alchemy children are just tools for alchemy, and they make alchemy all day long. The difference in treatment between the two is not small.

Of course, alchemy children can also learn something, otherwise they can't make alchemy.

If alchemy children are really capable, they may become apprentices or apprentices.

After knowing these situations, the doubts on Matthew's face disappeared.

He was not worried that Li Mu would take away his position as an apprentice, but he felt a little confused about the sudden appearance of an alchemy child.

The speed of the small boat was far less than that of the giant boat. It took a long time to fly to a mountain with a cut off top.

After landing, Zhu Que took the two into a stone house on the top of the mountain.

With Zhu Que leading the way, the process of receiving the entry items was very simple. Just hand over the tokens of Ma Xiu and the others and you will receive them.

The number of entry items is not large, five Qi-nourishing Pills, ten Bigu Pills, a low-grade magic weapon, a flying magic weapon, five spirit stones and a storage bag.

These are Li Mu's things, but Ma Xiu's are a little different. The number of Qi-nourishing Pills and Bigu Pills is the same, the low-grade magic weapon is replaced by a medium-grade magic weapon, and the spirit stones are increased from five to ten.

In addition, Ma Xiu also received three Qi-gathering Pills.

"Different identities, different treatments indeed." Looking at the items that Ma Xiu received, Li Mu said with some envy.

Ma Xiu did not react to Li Mu's envy. After putting the things into the storage bag, he followed Zhu Que back to the boat.

"We are going to the Sutra Library next. Every new disciple can choose a technique or secret technique. If you already have a suitable technique, you can choose a secret technique. This is a rare opportunity, don't be careless. If you want to go to the Sutra Library again in the future, you will have to spend a certain amount of spirit stones and sect contribution points." Zhu Que patiently explained to the two.

"What is the use of sect contribution points?" Matthew heard this term for the first time and asked curiously.

"As long as you do something beneficial to the sect, you can get it, but it is extremely difficult to accumulate too many contribution points. Sect contribution points can be exchanged for various items with the sect. If the contribution points are enough, even the three secret techniques of the sect can be exchanged. Outer disciples must complete six chores every year, and each time there will be corresponding contribution points and rewards. Li Mu, your identity is Dan Tong, and you are treated the same as outer disciples. Your contribution points and rewards will be issued by me." Zhu Que turned his head and looked at Li Mu and said.

"I remember, Master Zhu!" Li Mu bowed obediently.

"Ma kid, you are my disciple, so you are naturally an inner disciple. As long as you can refine enough pills for the sect, you can also get contribution points. In addition, the monthly salary of outer disciples is one low-grade spirit stone, one nourishing pill and five fasting pills. The monthly salary of inner disciples is three low-grade spirit stones, one gathering pill and five fasting pills. I will pay these monthly salaries, and you don't need to go to the sect to collect them." Zhu Que turned his head to Ma Xiu and said slowly.

"Master, you have been in the sect for so many years, have you accumulated a lot of contribution points?" Ma Xiu asked with a smile.

"Don't think about my contribution points!" Zhu Que glared at Ma Xiu and shouted.

Ma Xiu didn't feel ashamed when his thoughts were seen through, but just kept grinning.
