By the time the ceremony was over, it was almost noon. The food was not sumptuous, but it was clean and tidy. There were mushrooms and beans, sweet and sour cabbage and tofu. Pei Zi Yun ate a bowl of rice and mixed it with the vegetables. Seeing Yu Yun Jun and Zhao Ning stop eating, he placed his chopsticks down.
"You must be tired from your journey. Go back to your room and rest!" Yu Yun Jun said considerately, causing everyone to smile. Everyone was the same. They were about to be imparted with Dao techniques, how could they not be impatient?
"Yes, this disciple shall take his leave." Pei Zi Yun said as someone led him to his room. Or rather, this was the dormitory for the outer sect disciples.
Although it was a dormitory, it was actually an elegantly decorated room. There was a clean and soft blanket on the wooden bed. There were no large bookshelves, but there was a short bookshelf. Pei Zi Yun leaned forward to take a look. The books on the bookshelf were all basic knowledge. There were Daoist temples and Daoist sects.
"These are for the outer sect disciples to learn about."
Beside the window, there was a wooden table with a brush and inkstone. Pei Zi Yun sat on it and played with it. He then said softly, "System!"
A white Plum Blossom appeared in front of his eyes and grew bigger. It then became a translucent information interface. It floated in front of his eyes and words appeared before his eyes.
"Mission: Counterattack the bandits, enter Free Cloud Sect (Completed, Not Retrieved)"
"Retrieve!"
The translucent Plum Blossom between his eyebrows moved. "Boom!" Pei Zi Yun's entire body trembled as a huge amount of knowledge was transmitted to him.
When he awoke, he was surprised to see the sun shining brightly.
"It took me a few hours to absorb all the knowledge." Pei Zi Yun stood up and took two steps forward. He had a complicated look on his face, "Original owner, you indeed have a plan."
Initially, Pei Zi Yun had thought that he understood the original owner very well. But now he realized that the original owner's memories had been preserved. Before this, he only knew the gist of it. Now that he had completed the mission, he was given more details.
"So much knowledge. Paradise is where the Qi of the earth gathers. But the Qi of the earth is limited. How can we obtain more?"
"Hence, the outer sect disciples built many Daoist temples. This is indeed beneficial."
"If we were to rely solely on Paradise, after a few generations, we would be left with nothing." Pei Zi Yun understood, "That's why the outer and inner sect disciples are separated."
"The outer sect disciples are meant to gather resources and provide resources for them to grow. The inner sect disciples are meant to cultivate their own Dao Arts. They would then be able to open the gates of heaven and become Yin Masters."
"But without Paradise, it would be difficult to become an Earth Immortal. Since Paradise has a limited capacity, the number of people who can become an Earth Immortal is limited as well. In our Free Cloud Sect, there are only five Earth Immortals in a generation."
"But the Outer Sect and the Inner Sect are equally important. You could even say that in terms of contribution to the sect, the Outer Sect is more important. That's why the Head Disciple is one of the five spots, but he must have made great contributions. That's why Song Zhicai spent many years accumulating his Outer Sect skills. The Eldest Disciple of the Outer Sect is usually the first step to becoming the Head Disciple."
"But if it's just external techniques, he won't be able to become the Sect Leader's eldest senior brother."
"Not only do they have to cultivate Dao arts, they have to be pure as well. The reason for this is that Paradise has its own characteristics, and Free Cloud Sect's techniques resonate with it."
"If one's cultivation is not pure, even if one's achievements are decent, they will not be able to become an Earthen Immortal."
"The original owner had cultivated other techniques before. Even though he had a golden finger, he was still excluded from the core of the sect. This was something that the original owner found out later on. Thankfully, the original owner did not cheat me, and left me with only the foundational techniques that had nothing to do with it. Furthermore, the detailed memories that I've gained have made me even more proficient."
Pei Zi Yun looked at the techniques, and a line of words appeared.
"Free Cloud Sect Sword Technique: Advanced."
"Free Cloud Sect Technique: Level 5."
"Dao Arts: 31 Types, Mastered."
Beginner, Mastery, Advanced, Master. In an instant, Pei Zi Yun's cultivation had improved by quite a bit, and he felt extremely refreshed. The original owner had absorbed Dao Aura many times in his previous life, and now he had inherited all of it. Although there were losses when he absorbed Dao Aura, he still managed to shorten the time he needed to cultivate by at least five years.
"Hehe!" Pei Zi Yun finished his dinner and went back to study.
The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, Pei Zi Yun walked out of his room and saw an empty space. This was where the outer sect disciples were practicing. Pei Zi Yun looked around and saw many disciples dressed in Dao robes practicing all sorts of techniques. Some were practicing fist techniques, some were kicking techniques, and some were sitting cross-legged, doing their morning exercises. The entire place was bustling with activity.
Pei Zi Yun looked for an empty space and held up his sword to feel it. Subconsciously, he channeled some inner Qi into the blade of his sword. It was as thin as a strand of hair. He then raised his sword and thrust it forward.
"Chi!"
The sound of something slicing through the air could be heard.
"Indeed!" Pei Zi Yun felt that this sword was completely different from before. It was as if the inner Qi, the angle, the speed, everything was smooth and smooth. It was as if he had been practicing sword techniques for over ten years.
"Again!"
"Chi!" This time, it was as smooth as before. After practicing for a while, Pei Zi Yun thought to himself, "Now that I've gained experience, I've gained a whole new level of power. I wonder if this will be reflected in my practice?"
Just as he was about to speak, his eyes lit up. Pei Zi Yun looked up and saw that the stats had changed. "Free Cloud Sword Technique: Advanced (0.1% Completed)"
"Since the last time, I've added a flower petal. Although it was transparent, it can even do this?" Pei Zi Yun thought to himself, "Looks like the more I gain access to it, the more powerful it becomes."
"The original Plum Blossom, how many functions does it have?"
"Ai, this is a blur again. The original owner is hiding something from me again." Originally, he had no experience and did not know. Now that he had experience, he realized that it was indeed a blur.
"In my previous life, I opened the gates of heaven and entered Free Cloud Sect through Zhao Ning. However, because my cultivation technique was not pure, I was never able to enter the core of the sect."
"This time, it's different." Pei Zi Yun saw that no one was paying attention to him and stopped practicing.
Yesterday, he had Song Zhi's reminder. This morning, he had to serve tea to his master. If he had any questions, he could ask. This was his master's guidance. Free Cloud Sect had been established for a long time, and was different from the rogue cultivators.
"It's getting late, let's go!"
Pei Zi Yun walked to the back of the hall and saw Yu Yun Jun seated. This time, she wasn't seated at the main seat, or rather, there was no one seated at the main seat. Zhao Ning and Song Zhi were seated at the side.
Song Zhi was standing at one side, while the little girl Chu Xia was brewing tea. Serving tea was a part of the ceremony, and was mainly about etiquette and guidance.
Pei Zi Yun walked up to receive the tea from Chu Xia. He poured the tea and served it to his master.
Yu Yun Jun received the teacup and smelled the aroma of the tea. She then used the lid of the teacup to fan the tea and blew on it before asking, "You've been taught the technique yesterday, how's it going? Do you have any questions? Is there anything you don't understand? "
She smiled as she spoke.
Hearing Yu Yun Jun's words, Pei Zi Yun thought for a moment. He had the memories of his past life, and also the Plum Blossom Finger. If he were to hide his abilities, his rapid rise in cultivation would cause others to suspect that he had obtained a magical treasure. That would cause others to covet him. It would be better for him to show off his talents now, and be safe.
Besides, he had a clean background. His own sect was one of the strongest within the sect. There was no need for him to hide. In fact, the stronger he became, the better. He was Yu Yun Jun's only disciple, unlike Zhao Ning who had already chosen Zhang Yun. Due to the limited number of slots, unless he abandoned Zhang Yun, he would always be a substitute.
This was also the reason why he agreed to join Yu Yun Jun in this life. He was different from the original owner. His relationship with Zhao Ning wasn't that deep. If Zhao Ning didn't even have a slot, why should he join her?
At this point, he made up his mind and said, "Reporting to Master, I went back to study Dao Arts last night. In a single night, I've mastered everything. There are no questions or questions. It's just that I'm not proficient in some of the more profound techniques."
Yu Yun Jun was just asking out of politeness. When she heard this, she paused. Even Zhao Ning, who was smiling, almost spat out the tea in his mouth. He looked at Pei Zi Yun in disbelief.
When he had first started learning Dao Arts, he had spent more than a month. Now that Pei Zi Yun said that he had mastered everything in a single night, he was suspicious of Pei Zi Yun's words.
Yu Yun Jun thought for a moment. Perhaps he had already memorized everything. She smiled and said, "You said you've mastered everything. Why don't you recite the first chapter of the Free Cloud Guiyuan Manual?"
Pei Zi Yun was extremely confident. What he had accumulated in his past life was finally going to be put to use. He took a step forward and pondered for sometime before reciting, "Dao Arts, Heaven and Earth, Earth Branches …."
Pei Zi Yun recited it clearly and clearly. Yu Yun Jun and Zhao Ning's faces fell as they looked at each other. Song Zhi, who was standing at the side, clenched his fists tightly. He had been taught the Dao Arts, and had spent five months memorizing it. He didn't expect Pei Zi Yun to have mastered it in a single night. With such talent, how was he going to get along with his senior brother in future?
When Yu Yun Jun heard Pei Zi Yun recite the first chapter, she felt that it was a coincidence. She waited for him to finish reciting the first chapter before she said, "Recite the seventh chapter."
"Yes!" Pei Zi Yun immediately started reciting it. Every single word was clear, without a single mistake. Yu Yun Jun was taken aback and didn't regain her composure.
Seeing Pei Zi Yun like this, Song Zhi paused for sometime before asking, "You've finished learning it. Since you can recite it, I wonder if you can cast the incantations?"
Pei Zi Yun laughed, "Since I've finished learning it, I can cast it."
Song Zhi stretched out his hand and took out a dagger. He then cut his hand and said, "Since junior brother is so confident, please use the Sweet Dew Technique."
This Sweet Dew Technique could heal minor injuries, and was a commonly used technique in Daoist sects. Although this technique did not require much energy, it required a deep understanding of Daoist techniques. Pei Zi Yun laughed and waved his hand at Song Zhi. There was a flash of white light, and the wound started to heal.
Song Zhi was in disbelief as he touched the wound on his hand. Seeing that it had healed, his expression changed, "That's not possible. You've already mastered the Dao Arts?"
Mastering the Dao Arts was akin to bringing the Dao Arts into the sect. Although it didn't seem like a big deal, it was extremely serious. Once it was confirmed, there was no way he would be able to enter the core of the sect.
Pei Zi Yun looked at Song Zhi. The original owner could have said so, but he wasn't. Before he could say anything, the little girl looked at Song Zhi with disdain and said, "My junior brother is gifted, how could he cultivate other Dao Arts? Besides, my junior brother has always been studying under Senior Uncle Zhao. Are you suspecting Senior Uncle Zhao?"
As soon as she said this, Song Zhi's expression changed. When Zhao Ning heard this, his face turned cold as well, "I've watched Pei Zi Yun grow up. Don't spout nonsense about you bringing the Dao Arts into the sect."
His tone was firm and decisive. What a joke. He had watched Pei Zi Yun grow up, how could he be a spy?
Zhao Ning turned around and smiled at Pei Zi Yun, "How far have you mastered the Hundred Beasts Dance? Why don't you show it to me. "
He had heard that Pei Zi Yun had battled Zhang Jie Yu in the middle of the night, and even managed to kill him. At first, he thought that it was just an exaggeration. Now that he saw his level of understanding, he was shocked. Could it be that he had missed out on a genius?
"Yes, Senior Uncle." Pei Zi Yun saw that Zhao Ning was protecting him, and almost called him by the wrong name. At this point, he had already entered the sect, and knew that he was Yu Yun Jun's disciple.
