Looking at everyone's extremely eager eyes, Jing Hong looked very proud.
"Ancestor Guiyuan had great ambitions. When he was young, he vowed to make everyone as powerful as a dragon. Therefore, after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he took the initiative to publish the extraordinary achievement he had acquired in his early years, the "Blood Soul Sutra."
All disciples who join our sect will receive the Qi Refining Chapter of the Blood Soul Sutra. If they can successfully establish their foundation, they can exchange it for the Foundation Building Chapter, the "Blood Melting and Soul Refining Art."
I, Jing, am a humble person, but I have made great contributions to our sect. Not only was I granted the "Xuanxue Huadan Jue" (the Secret of Blood-Blooded Dan) chapter of the "Blood Soul Sutra" in advance, I was also given a golden elixir. That's why I was lucky enough to condense the golden elixir!
As soon as Jing Hong finished speaking, the atmosphere in the lobby instantly reached a climax!
"Then I'm in!"
"Me too!"
"Ancestor Guiyuan is a great man! Xu admires him and is willing to join your sect."
There were a total of twelve foundation-building monks in the hall, and eleven of them surrendered in a blink of an eye.
There is no way, the pie that Jing Hong painted is too delicious.
No one can stand it!
No, there is another person,
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Sheng who was sitting in the corner.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird and inexplicable.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng slowly raised his head, suddenly nodded at everyone with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Why are you all looking at me? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can I be left out? I'm not stupid!"
"Haha! Fellow Daoist Zhao is indeed very humorous."
After Zhao Sheng made his position clear, everyone present burst into laughter.
After seeing this scene, Master Jing Hong was excited, knowing that he had made another contribution to the sect and could gain a lot of merit.
An hour later, Master Bu Hu, Gan Zhenzi and other foundation-building cultivators temporarily stayed in Lingyun Academy.
Zhao Sheng and other foundation-building cultivators who had properties in Dongtian City left one after another.
Everyone agreed to meet at Lingyun Court in seven days, and then go to the gate of Guiyuan Sect together.
After leaving Lingyun Courtyard, Zhao Sheng returned to Jinfu Pavilion with a heavy heart.
After entering, he told Xiaohuan not to see any outsiders for the time being, and then went straight into the training room.
In the practice room, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion with his eyes closed in deep thought.
What happened today happened too suddenly, and he needs to sort out his thoughts carefully.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Sheng suddenly realized that there were many benefits to joining Guiyuan Sect, and his previous worries were simply unnecessary.
Others only have one life, and when they die, it's gone.
But he is not afraid!
As long as he is careful to avoid affecting his family, no matter how many big men are behind Guiyuan Sect, or what kind of traps are hidden, it will have no effect on him. At worst, he will die and escape.
After figuring this out, Zhao Sheng suddenly felt enlightened.
Three days later, Zhao Sheng hurried back to the Zhao family secret residence and found Zhao Xuanjing who was in seclusion practicing.
Two years have passed, and Zhao Xuanjing's cultivation has approached the great perfection of Qi Refining.
Zhao Sheng was overjoyed upon seeing this, and began to plan to exchange a top-grade foundation-building pill for Zhao Xuanjing.
Top-grade foundation-building pills are simply not available for purchase in the market and can only be exchanged for treasures.
As for what treasures to exchange, Zhao Sheng didn't have to worry at all. He had a lot of treasures in his storage bag, such as the Spirit Fire Gourd, Geng Gold, Longevity Peach and other treasures, which were more than enough to exchange for a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
After the meeting, Zhao Shengdan quickly informed Zhao Xuanjing that he was going to join Guiyuan Sect, and asked him not to expose their relationship, let alone reveal the family's background.
The reason why Zhao Sheng did this was because he was very pessimistic about the future of Guiyuan Sect.
To be on the safe side, he deliberately cut ties with the family in advance to avoid implicating the family in the future.
Although Zhao Xuanjing was confused, he did not ask any more questions, but just nodded solemnly.
He knew very well that his seventh uncle was always meticulous and could plan everything out, so it would definitely be the right thing to do if he listened to him!
After leaving enough resources for Zhao Xuanjing to cultivate, Zhao Sheng did not stay long and immediately left the Zhao family secret residence.
Four days later, on the day of the agreed reunion, Zhao Sheng arrived at Lingyun Courtyard with a tired look on his face.
No need to elaborate,
After Zhao Sheng reunited with Master Bu Hu and Taoist Feng Yu, they left Dongtian City under the leadership of Master Jing Hong.
A moment later, a huge cloud roc with a wingspan of more than ten feet suddenly flapped its wings and soared into the sky. After breaking through two layers of sea of clouds, it flew towards Moya Mountain a thousand miles away at lightning speed.
…
Soon after, Yunpeng flew over a vast plain covering thousands of miles of fertile land.
At the same time, in the center of the plain, a steep mountain, towering into the clouds, with cliffs on all sides, appeared in everyone's sight. It looked like a divine sword rising into the sky.
This peak is Moya Mountain.
A moment later, Yunpeng landed on the square in front of Guiyuan Hall on the top of the cliff.
Zhao Sheng followed the crowd, flew down from the cloud, and looked around.
This square is extremely large and is paved entirely with white jade. Directly to the north of the square is a magnificent palace with dragon eaves and phoenix corners, golden tiles and jade walls. The palace is surrounded by spiritual clouds and mist, and from time to time, countless mysterious runes with shining spiritual light appear and disappear.
After Yunpeng flapped its wings and flew away, Master Jing Hong led Zhao Sheng and his party to the front of Guiyuan Hall.
At this moment, an old man wearing a plain cloud robe and a feather crown with an ancient appearance, walked out of the hall with a group of people in red robes.
Master Jing Hong stepped forward solemnly and saluted the old man in the feather cap. "Master, Jing Hong has lived up to your trust and found a group of fellow Taoists who are willing to join our sect."
"Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Jing." The old man with the feathered cap nodded with great satisfaction when he saw that Zhao Sheng and the others were all foundation-building cultivators.
The old man with feather crown is called Jin Chenzi, the eldest disciple of Guiyuan Patriarch. He is currently the head of Guiyuan Sect and has reached the third level of Golden Elixir.
After Jin Chenzi said a few words of encouragement to Zhao Sheng and his companions, he led them into Guiyuan Hall.
Since Zhao Sheng and others were all foundation-building cultivators, they were considered to have entered the sect with skills and did not need to find a master at all, so the steps of worshipping the mountain gate were simplified a lot.
Jin Chenzi briefly recounted the six rules and regulations of Guiyuan Sect, and then immediately began the most important step in worshipping the mountain gate: taking an oath.
The Guiyuan Sect's oath-taking ceremony is slightly different from that of other sects, as it has an additional step of dripping blood.
Jin Chenzi solemnly took out a stone tablet that was more than ten feet high and two feet thick, placed it in front of everyone, and asked them to hand a drop of their heart's blood onto the stone tablet.
Everyone did as they were told. When it was Zhao Sheng's turn, he walked to the stone tablet and looked at it.
The stone tablet is green all over, and there are hundreds of ancient and vigorous mysterious runes engraved on its surface.
Due to the severe weathering of the stone tablet, the runes on it are a little blurred.
But Zhao Sheng discovered that these mysterious runes seemed to be somewhat similar to Taiyi Lingwen in terms of pen shape, but were more ancient than Lingwen.
Zhao Sheng felt curious and secretly memorized these runes.
At the same time, he squeezed out a drop of blood from his heart and dripped it onto the stone tablet.
As soon as the blood from his heart touched the surface of the stone tablet, it was instantly absorbed.
"Now!"
At this moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly activated bullet time, and the flow of time instantly slowed down countless times.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng was shocked to "see" a strange face suddenly emerge from the surface of the stone tablet.
It has no nose, ears or eyebrows. Its entire face is as smooth as a mask, with only a pair of bloodshot pupils and a bloody mouth on it.
After swallowing the blood from his heart, the strange face immediately disappeared back into the stone tablet.
The whole process was as fast as lightning. Even in bullet time, it only lasted for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
When the bullet time ended, Zhao Shengqiang suppressed his uneasy and shocked mood and walked back to the team with a calm expression.
After everyone had shed the blood, they swore an oath to the inner demon that they would not betray their master or their ancestors.
