Sword Sect Outer Sect

Chapter 110 Choosing the Main Peak
These eight paintings represent the eight main peaks of the sect.

Apart from the Demon-Slaying Peak, which is composed of elite disciples selected from various main peaks, and the Returning Goose Peak, a gathering place for cultivators specializing in alchemy, formations, weapon crafting, and talismans.

The remaining six main peaks each have their own functions, and newly recruited inner disciples can choose to join one of them.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, junior brother, if you had any familiar seniors who served as your masters before entering the inner sect?"

"Yes, Senior Qin Xijun from the Inner Sect."

Song Yan told him the truth, and the disciple in charge was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Elder Qin originally belonged to Lianyou Peak, but now he has resigned from his position as elder, so there is no need for him to care about the distinction between peaks."

With a flick of his fingertip, the five main peaks he could choose from slowly appeared as illusory images.

Various kinds of information came into view.

Nodding, Song Yan looked at them one by one.

Each of these five peaks has its own unique charm.

Among them, the spiritual energy on Lingquan Peak is the most abundant, and all kinds of spiritual plants are lush and verdant. In terms of environment, this is his favorite place.

Zuowang Peak is known for its emphasis on magical cultivation, and most of its disciples delve into Taoist techniques and spells.

"Sword Wiping Peak..."

Song Yan paused as he looked at the main peak.

I initially thought that the disciples on the peak all practiced sword control techniques, but upon closer inspection, I realized that this peak was originally used by the disciples of the sect for sparring and competition.

However, throughout history, there have been many warlike individuals who have fought and sparred here every day.

Many people even decided to stay here.

The sect did not suppress such behavior. Instead, in a certain year, it completely transformed this great peak into a main peak, with the inner sect elder Luo Bei serving as the peak master.

This peak has no other outstanding features, except that all the disciples on it are fierce and courageous, and the atmosphere of sparring and fighting is extremely strong.

However, precisely because of this, most of the disciples selected every few years for the Demon-Slaying Peak are from the Sword-Touching Peak.

I only glanced at Taiping Peak and Tongchen Peak, and after getting a general understanding of their characteristics, I decided that they were not suitable for me.

Ultimately, it will be a choice between Lingquan Peak and Shijian Peak.

After much deliberation, Song Yan ultimately chose Wiping Sword Peak.

The reason is very simple: since he started cultivating the sword in his mansion, he has not grasped even a trace of sword intent, which is truly worrying.

Sword cultivators were not uncommon in the past, and comprehending even a little bit of sword intent should not have been an extremely difficult task.

If we look for the reason within ourselves, it might be because we rarely competed with others in the past.

Those who cultivate swordsmanship are mostly sharp-tongued and competitive.

Perhaps the so-called sword intent can only be comprehended through countless battles.

Having made up his mind, he no longer hesitated: "Senior brother, I choose Wiping Sword Peak."

The senior disciple nodded: "Come with me."

Beyond this point lies the interior of a grand hall.

"Junior brother, hand over the disciple jade token you just gave me, and then change into the inner disciple's robe."

"it is good."

The disciple took the jade token and found a spirit seal of similar size on one of the nine small tables beside it.

He channeled his spiritual power and gently covered the disciple's jade tablet.

Following his senior brother's advice, Song Yan immediately changed into the inner sect's Taoist robe.

Standing before the Mirror of Dao Rong, he gazed at his reflection.

As expected of an inner disciple's robe, the moment he put it on, he exuded an otherworldly air.

Compared to the gray robes worn by the outer sect members, he now resembled a young immortal in his every move.

The senior disciple in charge took the jade token and handed it to him: "Junior Brother Song, your status has changed. From today onwards, you are a disciple of the Sword Wiping Peak of our sect's inner sect."

"Thank you, senior brother."

The senior disciple waved his hand and walked forward: "Originally, the matter of worshipping the ancestral master was complicated and numerous."

"However, our sect has not been established for long, and the sect leader has requested to simplify things, so the process will not be too troublesome."

Inside the Ancestral Master Hall.

Upon entering, a circular, sloping corridor came into view. Following my senior brother halfway down the slope, we arrived at the main hall.

The interior is quite spacious, with rows of portraits hanging in the hall.

Even though my senior brother said that it has been simplified, it is still quite troublesome.

Light incense, kneel and pray, offer incense, make a vow...

"Senior brother..."

After finishing everything, looking at the portraits and the stone tablets recording his life story, Song Yan suddenly felt something was strange.

He immediately asked the senior disciple in a low voice.

“Senior brother, most of our sect’s founders and elders are still alive. Offering incense and paying respects…” Song Yan didn’t say it aloud. He wanted to ask if it was a bit unlucky.

"It is a bit strange," the senior steward chuckled, explaining, "but it's just to show respect to a senior."

"Those are all respected seniors who helped our sect overcome difficulties at the beginning of the founding of Dongyuan Sect."

"Not to mention our sect leader, who is a Golden Core cultivator, compared to those of us with low cultivation levels."

"He's already a god-like figure."

Song Yan nodded and looked at the young portrait in the center.

There were very few inscriptions on the side, just a short sentence.

Li Jun Dao Ren was the founder of the Dongyuan Sect.

Thinking of New Year's Eve, those eight short words, and the intangible spiritual meaning they contain...

"Sect Master, are you also a sword cultivator?"

He was lost in thought.

The incense burned out.

The senior disciple in charge spoke up to remind him.

"Goodbye!"

Song Yan bowed deeply.

……

With all matters settled, Song Yan left the Zongwu Hall.

I'm in a great mood right now.

The General Affairs Hall will communicate and make arrangements with the Sword Wiping Peak regarding matters concerning the cave dwelling. Once the arrangements are complete, someone will notify you.

There's no need for him to worry about it.

It is said that in the past, the arrangement of the cave dwellings was handled by a disciple of the General Affairs Hall.

Later, he used this as power to accept spirit stones.

He categorized the cave dwellings into different grades based on their geographical location and the density of spiritual energy, and then arranged the cave dwellings according to the amount of spirit stones given to the inner disciples.

However, the matter was soon exposed, and it was later changed to random assignment by the sect.

This should take very little time, at most half a day.

Having finally been promoted to the inner sect, this good news naturally had to be shared with Granny Qin.

Arriving at the edge of Lingyuanze Market, there was still that same dilapidated little shop.

"Grandma Qin!"

Pushing open the door, Qin Xijun looked up at him with some annoyance: "Tsk, brat, don't you know any manners!"

"You never knock before coming in!"

"what?"

She suddenly let out a soft exclamation, her gaze falling on his Taoist robe.

"You...have entered the inner sect?"

Song Yan chuckled and nodded: "Master, please accept my bow!"

"Hey, don't worry."

Xiao Song was about to perform a grand salute when Qin Xijun stopped him, saying, "You haven't prepared the tea for the teacher yet."

"what?"

He really didn't know the apprenticeship ceremony in this immortal sect.

"Becoming an apprentice is no small matter. Everyone has their own set of rules for becoming an apprentice, understand?"

Qin Xijun smiled slyly: "Your master here is rather casual and doesn't like formalities."

"It's alright if there's no tea for teachers."

"well……"

Song Yan didn't understand either, and just kept nodding.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xijun changed the subject: "We'll have to use wine instead of tea!"

thump.

Two jars of spirit wine appeared on the table.

Song Yan stood there, stunned.

Qin Xijun grinned: "On such a wonderful day, you and I, master and disciple, shall drink until we're both drunk!"
