Chapter 368 New Disciple

"Master, where did you go just now?"

As soon as Chu Tai's mind returned, the seniors from the Jinhua Sect in the cave manifested their spirits and came to inquire about Chu Tai's condition.

Chu Tai did not hide any of his previous experiences and the new information he had obtained, and told Shi Huajin and others everything.

"So it is basically confirmed that the connection will continue for the next two days and will likely become increasingly close. This is troublesome."

Shi Huajin and the others all frowned. It was not difficult for them to guess that, given the current situation of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, once the two worlds continued to connect, countless Taiyi cultivators who had just suppressed the laws and principles of the foreign lands would once again face the endless erosion of the foreign principles day after day.

If this matter is not handled properly, things like the Emei Sect's attempt to seize the inheritance of the Taiyi Immortal Sect will probably have a certain legitimacy.

Chu Tai, who also understood the problem, nodded and said, "This is also the reason why I wanted to separate Shao Siming from the Snow Mountain Sect a few days ago and get involved in the establishment of the Snow Mountain Sect. Anyway, our Taiyi Sect must make a statement to prove to others that we can handle our internal affairs ourselves."

"In this case, the burden on you, Sect Leader, will be huge."

Yuli Sou sighed, and Chu Tai smiled and said, "Don't we still have you? Besides, after Feifei and the others come back, our Jinhua Sect will get better and better, and the sect will gradually prosper in the future. Then, I will be relieved."

Shi Huajin and the others sighed when they heard this. They were all seniors who had practiced for many years and knew some of the dirty things in the practice world. They also knew that although Chu Tai said it was light, if something really happened in the future, they would still need him to take the lead.

This realization made the thirteen old Jinhua Sect members perk up their spirits and speed up their practice of the Lingtai method, stripping away their alien powers bit by bit in order to maintain the purity of their own foundation.

Feeling the subtle changes in the atmosphere within the sect, Chu Tai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and at the same time shifted his attention to Fei Fei and her group.

Although he had experienced a lot in the dark land before, in reality not much time had passed and Feifei's test had just ended.

Both to the group of boat trackers he belonged to and to the sackcloth-robed monk who had taught him some of the methods of cultivation.

The young man showed a relatively good way of coping. Although his way of handling things was not considered kind in the eyes of ordinary people, it did not cross the bottom line as a human being. Feifei was a little displeased because of this, but Wu Chaoxi's evaluation was that his moral level was above average in his environment, and if he was taught well, he would be a promising talent.

Therefore, the two decided to leave the inheritance and let him choose whether to go to Jinhua Sect to become a disciple.

Before leaving, Wu Chaoxi clearly told the young man that if he wanted to join the immortal sect, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds were the basis, saying that his current moral standards could only be considered barely qualified, and if he wanted to join the sect, he must make a choice.

Should he choose to continue to stick to his current style, or choose to make himself better so that it would be easier to join the sect.

Logically, a boy who has lived in a team of trackers since childhood should be able to understand the existence of these rules, but as Chu Tai observed, the boy once asked him a question when he heard Wu Chaoxi's words.

"Do I have to give up myself when I join the immortal sect? Do I have to adapt myself to the new rules?"

This made Chu Tai and Wu Chaoxi's eyes light up, and Wu Chaoxi's answer was very simple. "For most people, joining the immortal sect does not require giving up oneself. Many of the immortal sect's rules are what a living being needs to do. Some of them are set up out of concern that beginners will think they are superior to others in the early stages of their practice and hurt others. Just like, do you think it is right for those nobles to watch you pull the boat on the shore and insult you?"

“That’s not true.”

"Then do you think it is too much to have a rule that requires them not to insult you when they are on the boat? Of course, you may not believe what I am saying to you now, because the nobles you saw did not do it. So you need to feel and change yourself on the way to the sect. This is what I am telling you. I hope you can make some choices on your own."

The young man, who understood the truth, thanked Wu Chaoxi and then planned to leave.

At this time, Feifei, who had previously said that she didn't like the boy's style of doing things, suddenly called him.

"You are alone now, and you have just learned some orthodox Xuanmen immortal techniques. How do you live in the outside world?"

"I have some magical instruments that are no longer useful. If you don't mind them being old, you can use them. I also made these elixirs in my early years. Although their efficacy and spiritual power have faded, they are still usable. If you don't mind them, you can take some. Finally, I drew these dozen talismans myself. They can be considered as my gift to you for your enlightenment."

As she spoke, Feifei took out three or four magical instruments of inferior quality from her sleeves, as well as four or five jade bottles containing medicinal pills, and dozens of talismans. In the eyes of the young man, each of these things sparkled with a sparkle and were far more precious than many treasures he had seen in the past.

The boy swallowed and chose to refuse. Feifei thought the boy had misunderstood and added something.

"This isn't a test. It's just something I plan to give you. Just take it."

Seeing that the boy was still unwilling, Feifei added a few more words.

"If you really feel embarrassed, just think of me as a demonstration. There are still some people in this world who are more noble, higher in status, and more powerful than you, and who are willing to help you. I also hope that in the future, when you meet people with lower status and less powerful than you, you can give them a little help, at least to make their lives less difficult."

"I will."

The boy nodded and took the gift from Feifei. At this time, the cat suddenly meowed. After the boy looked over, the cat shook its ears, and some fluff fell off. It exhaled, and the scattered fine hairs gathered together and turned into a small clump.

Then the somewhat tired cat called out to the boy, and the small handful of cats fell into the boy's hands. A warm, weak breath came from his palm, which calmed the somewhat unruly dragon breath in his body.

Wu Chaoxi explained, "This is a gift from the cat to you. It is the fur condensed from its vitality. It has certain properties of warding off evil spirits, concentrating the mind, and suppressing the blood of dragons and snakes. It is just right for you."

The boy thanked the cat again, then turned around and went back to pack his things, intending to embark on the journey of becoming an apprentice.

Feifei and the other two continued to move forward towards the branch of Zhushan Sect in Yong County that Chutai had occupied in the past.

Chu Tai took a look, smiled, calculated the subsequent itinerary of several people, and after making sure there were no major problems, he began his daily practice.
