The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 290 Getting Started
Ten breaths passed in a flash.

The original combat power of this ninth-level monster should have been around 60, but after being captured, it seemed to have suffered some torture and was in poor condition, dropping below 50.

It would not be difficult for Yaoguang to kill it.

The difficulty lies in the fact that there is only ten breaths of time.

To kill such a big monster within ten breaths, he must use all his strength and use all his trump cards.

One supreme supernatural power could be attributed to a chance encounter, but five supreme supernatural powers could not be explained.

What's more, the Wandering Dragon Sword and the Two Worlds Ruler are both top-grade spiritual treasures without exception, and should not be exposed before obtaining the status of a true disciple.

But even so, relying on the supreme magical power of Sky-Splitting Strike, he was still able to suppress the big monster in these ten breaths.

After ten breaths, Xiang Yunlong immediately said with a smile: "This Junior Brother Yaoguang... has made it. Congratulations, you have passed the test and from now on you are a member of our Tiandao Sect."

Upon seeing this, Yaoguang flashed away and left the assessment formation under the envious gazes of all the assessors.

"I never thought that the assessment I presided over could recruit talents like my junior brother for the sect. Junior brother, we must get closer to each other in the future."

Xiang Yunlong came over immediately.

The level of enthusiasm is completely different from how we treat other people.

But before Yaoguang could reply, the Cavernous Realm elder who was in charge of the assessment had already laughed out loud: "Great, great!"

He actually dropped directly from the sky and came to Yaoguang as if he was down to earth. "Your name is Yaoguang, right? You have been practicing for fifty-seven years? You have reached this level of cultivation in less than sixty years. You are really a promising young man!"

"The elder has given you the reward."

Yaoguang responded politely.

"Haha, I'm telling the truth. Your talent is so high that no one in the previous classes could compare to you."

This Dongxu said, "I am the elder of Tianmai, Jin Yuliu. You met me in this assessment, which shows that we are destined to be together. In addition, your talent is also extraordinary, and you can be called outstanding. I love talents, so I want to accept you as my personal disciple. What do you think?"

Jin Yuliu's words made Xiang Yunlong slightly stunned.

Then I felt secretly contempt in my heart.

"Accept me as your disciple?"

Yaoguang frowned secretly.

Whether it is the Tiandao Sect or even other sects among the Ten Immortal Sects, the important bond that maintains the relationship is the master-disciple relationship.

The importance of the master-disciple relationship is no less than that of the so-called father-son relationship.

Once one party accepts the other as a disciple, he or she must assume the responsibility of teaching, imparting knowledge, and answering questions. Similarly, when the disciple achieves success in the future, he or she must repay the master.

We even have the obligation to provide support to our Master.

If it was just an ordinary Yaoyang Golden Pill, he would be ecstatic if an elder Dongxu was willing to accept him as his personal disciple.

But Yaoguang has already shown a fighting power that is not inferior to that of the Azure Golden Core level, and has the potential to compete for the true teachings. At this time, a Dongxu elder jumped out and wanted to accept him as a disciple...

This is not just because he has taken a fancy to this disciple, it is clearly because he wants to take advantage of him.

It will even make it easier to suck blood from this disciple in the future.

Disciples have more than just the obligation to support their masters. In many cases, the masters also have a certain right to interfere with the disciples' resources, road arrangements, and job appointments.

Once the mentor-apprentice relationship is established...

If this disciple dares to disobey the master in the future, the master will directly kill him. That is reasonable and righteous, and no one can say no.

Jin Yuliu is a Dongxu, but he wants to accept an inner disciple who has the strength of azure golden elixir and shows the potential of true transmission as his personal disciple. This is definitely a sinister and ill-intentioned person.

Yaoguang couldn't refuse directly in front of Dongxu, so he said, "I appreciate Elder Jin Yuliu's kindness, but I once received a favor from a senior from Tiandao Sect, who taught me a magical secret method. Now that I have achieved something in my cultivation, I want to find that senior and become his disciple. I hope Elder Jin will forgive me."

"Back then, I received a favor from a senior from the Tiandao Sect..."

Jin Yuliu's expression changed: "I don't know which elder it is, maybe I know him, and I can take you to visit him directly now."

"I don't know who he is. The senior didn't tell me his identity back then. I can only judge after meeting him and sensing his aura."

Yaoguang said, and added carefully: "Also, maybe it's not a certain elder, but a certain vein master or peak master."

Jin Yuliu frowned.

He was 90% sure that Yaoguang was talking nonsense.

but……

The other 10% probability may not be completely non-existent.

Moreover, even if the other party deliberately came up with this excuse to fool him, at this moment, he couldn't force him any further and could only observe secretly first.

If he really had a bond with a certain peak master or vein master, then it would be fine. But if he was lying to him...

Haha, he will let him understand what kind of methods a Dongxu elder possesses in the Tiandao Sect.

"In that case, it's a pity."

Jin Yuliu said calmly: "But not every peak master or lineage master is good at teaching disciples. If you change your mind in the future, you can continue to come to me. The door of my Jin Yuliu lineage is still open to you."

"Thank you, Elder Jin, for your kindness."

Yaoguang bowed politely.

The assessment will continue.

Xiang Yunlong, who had originally been full of enthusiasm to communicate with Yaoguang, did not dare to get too close to him in front of Jin Yuliu, the Dongxu Elder, and presided over the next assessment in a serious manner.

In the end, out of more than 460 examinees, only 42 successfully passed the examination.

The pass rate is less than 10%.

Of course, this was because the difficulty of this assessment was extremely high. In the past, on average, 20% to 30% of the candidates could pass the inner sect assessment, and the casualty rate was only about 10%.

After the assessment, Jin Yuliu left directly.

Xiang Yunlong took a group of disciples and went deep into the sect to register.

During this period, several people surrounded Yaoguang and their attitudes were very enthusiastic.

Obviously, they all knew that based on Yaoguang's performance...

In the future, there is a great hope that I will be able to compete for the true teachings and become one of the eighty-eight true disciples of the Tiandao Sect.

This disciple with a promising future is not on the same level as members like them who just want to get a place in the inner sect.

Xiang Yunlong also accompanied Yaoguang throughout the whole process, and helped him with his identity registration as a senior brother.

The two faces in front of and behind the scenes are portrayed vividly.

After Yaoguang finished the registration, Xiang Yunlong smiled and introduced: "The examination fee for inner disciples is tens of thousands of Pure Yang Pills, and the average pass rate is less than 20%, and there is even a 15% mortality rate. However, it can still attract many Yaoyang Golden Core cultivators to come for the examination. This in itself can prove the weight and benefits that an inner disciple has."

He pointed to a storage bracelet given when he registered and said, "The moment you become an inner sect disciple, the sect will issue you a set of precious clothes and a precious sword. In addition, your identity token also has many functions. It can facilitate many formations and directly communicate with the sect's formation spirits to obtain support..."

Yaoguang’s divine sense has already swept over this storage bracelet.

There's not much space inside, but there are a lot of things.

Moreover, the value of these things is not low. Adding them up, they are probably worth thousands of Pure Yang Pills.

"Unlike those who need to pay to rent a cave, inner disciples all have their own cave..."

Xiang Yunlong paused as he spoke: "Of course, if you, Junior Brother, can achieve true enlightenment one day, you will be assigned to a mountain... The treatment of living and personal space will be comparable to that of the thirteen peak masters."

No matter if they are outer disciples or inner disciples, they are all cannon fodder and slaves for a sect.

The sect wouldn't feel sad even if all the members died.

Only when it reaches the true transmission stage can it be considered to have truly become a core skill.

Therefore, whether it is the Taiyi Immortal Sect or the Tiandao Sect, there is a fixed number of true disciples, which can only be less, not more.

The birth of every true disciple is equivalent to a transformation of identity and entering the rentier class. The sect completely trains them as future Void Refining and even Void Shattering Realm powerhouses.

Not only will he be given high enough authority, but he will also immediately allocate enough property to the true disciple as supplies for his daily consumption.

The best proof is that he owns a mountain that only the master of Lianxu Peak is qualified to obtain.

In many sects, the status of true disciples is higher than that of Elder Dongxu.

The reason why he seems to be inferior to Elder Dongxu is simply because the world is ultimately determined by strength.

No matter how high the status of a true disciple is, he naturally has to remain polite and respectful when facing Elder Dongxu who has the ability to easily kill him.

Even though their achievements may be higher than those of the elders in the future, they still have to do a good job on the surface before they have enough strength.

"True disciple."

Yaoguang asked, "What are the rules for inner disciples of Tiandao Sect to achieve true succession?"

Xiang Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "If you want to become a true disciple, the most important thing is to subdue the inner sect. The inner sect will hold an inner sect competition every five years, and the one who ranks first will be promoted to a true disciple... If the number of true disciples is full, you need to choose a true disciple to challenge. If the challenge is successful, you can replace the true disciple and become the new true disciple. At the same time, the sect industry that originally belonged to the true disciple will also fall into the hands of the challenger."

After saying that, he added: "Generally, the True Transmission Challenge is held half a year earlier than the Disciple Assessment."

"Half a year earlier?"

Yao Guang frowned and said, "Does that mean I have to wait another four and a half years to pass the test of the true teachings?"

"Yes, it is said that the reason for this rule is to reserve four and a half years to observe the disciples' words, deeds and character..."

Xiang Yunlong whispered.

Four and a half years.

It is not considered long for a Jindan realm cultivator whose lifespan exceeds a thousand years.

but……

However, it prolonged the time it took Yaoguang to become a true disciple.

You know, for a true disciple, the various industries provided by the sect alone can allow him to earn at least 10 Pure Yang Pills every year.

But in fact, even those true disciples who are ranked lower can earn hundreds of thousands every year.

The income of those who are at the top of the list is even higher than that of the elders in the Dongxu realm.

In four and a half years, rounded off, that's equivalent to a loss of several million.

"Is there no other way to become a true disciple in advance?"

Yaoguang Road.

"No, this is one of the rules written into the 'Golden Book of the Great Dao'. No amount of money can fix it."

After hearing this, Yaoguang had no choice but to give up.

At this moment, he seemed to sense something and looked in one direction.

Almost at the same time when he looked in that direction, he saw an inner disciple of Yaoyang Jindan turned his head.

It seemed as if her eyes had glanced over him unintentionally.

Seeing this, he didn't think much about it and came to the cave arranged for him by the sect.

Without the status of a true disciple, he had to plan a little on how to successfully collect the hundreds of thousands of bounty offered by the Black Dragon Thief of the Great Shang Dynasty.
