Hai Zhen looked at Zhao Hai, then he nodded and said, "Good, your foundation is very solid. Very good. Go, choose a good room." Then he closed his eyes. But when he said this, the two people who led Zhao Hai to the room had their eyes lit up. They understood Hai Zhen's intention. Hai Zhen wanted to give Zhao Hai a good room, this was a good thing.
One must know that in Great Sects, rooms were also divided into different grades. A good room would naturally have a lot of spiritual qi, and it would also be very quiet, which was very good for cultivation. A bad room wouldn't have enough spiritual qi, and the environment wouldn't be very good. Therefore, the quality of a room was very important for a person.
In a sect like the Iron Buddha Temple, the old rooms were usually given to talented disciples, or to disciples of Elders. Ordinary disciples could only be given a room of a lower quality. But Zhao Hai was a Rogue Cultivator, so it was very rare for him to be given a good room.
The two small monks who were working in Hai Zhen's room immediately moved. They took out a formation plate and placed it on the table. Then the formation plate lit up, and a mountain and river map appeared. This mountain and river map showed a huge temple, and outside the temple, there were flashes of light.
The two young monks looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Senior Brother, please choose a house. All the houses with lights are unoccupied. But I suggest that Senior Brother choose a house here. The spiritual qi here is more abundant, and it's also quieter." Then the two young monks pointed at the houses with the lights. Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Senior Brother, please choose a house.
Zhao Hai looked at the map. At the outermost area of the map were some fields. These fields were in the mountains, but the area was very large. Outside these fields were a lot of houses, but these houses were too close to the temple. It was clear that the spiritual qi here was the weakest, and it should be the residence of the odd job disciples.
Inside the houses of the odd job disciples were the brighter rooms. It was clear that these were the residences of the Outer Court Disciples. These houses had their own individual courtyards. Although the courtyards weren't big, it can be seen that the conditions were good.
Then inside were the bigger courtyards, which should be the residences of the Inner Court Disciples. Inside was the central area of the temple, but there was a dense fog, making it impossible to see what it looked like.
After Zhao Hai looked at the map, he looked at the place the small monk pointed at. This place was very close to the residences of the Inner Court Disciples. Moreover, the courtyard was bigger than the other courtyards of the Outer Court Disciples. It can be seen that the conditions there were better.
Zhao Hai nodded, then he pointed at a bright spot and said, "Amitabha. Junior Brother, I'll choose this place. Thank you, Junior Brothers."
The two small monks looked at the house that Zhao Hai chose and couldn't help but nod, "Amitabha. Alright, we'll follow Senior Brother. Senior Brother, this iron plate is the key to your room. Please take it." Then they took out a round iron plate and gave it to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai received the iron plate and received it. Then he gave a salute to the two and said, "Amitabha. Thank you, Junior Brothers."
Then Zhao Hai turned his head to look at the two small monks. These two were Hai Ding's subordinates. One of them bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Senior Brother Jing Hai, I'm called Na Zhen. Please come with me, I'll take you to your room." Zhao Hai nodded, then after thanking Na Zhen, he followed Na Zhen out. After the two left the courtyard, Na Zhen led Zhao Hai to the side of the road. Before long, they arrived in front of a courtyard. Na Zhen pointed at the courtyard and said, "Brother Jing Hai, this is your courtyard. As long as you have your iron token, you can enter and leave. Besides you, nobody else can enter. This little monk will have to leave." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Brother Jing Hai, this is your courtyard. As long as you have your iron token, you can enter and leave.
After Zhao Hai thanked Na Zhen, Na Zhen turned around and left. At the same time, Zhao Hai took out the iron plate and walked towards the courtyard. When he arrived at the courtyard, he felt as if he was passing through a ripple. Then he pushed the door and went inside.
The courtyard wasn't very big, it was only about 100 square meters. There was only one room inside. When Zhao Hai entered the room, he saw that it wasn't small. The room was divided into three rooms. The room that Zhao Hai entered should be the living room. The floor was covered with wooden planks, some mats were placed on top of it, and a small table was placed in the middle. There was nothing else inside, it was very simple.
Inside the living room was another room. When Zhao Hai looked inside, he saw that it should be a bedroom. The area inside wasn't very big, there was a big bed, a table, and a chair. There was nothing else inside.
There was another room on the left, which should be a place for washing up. There were a few basins and buckets inside, and they all looked new. On the right, there was a quiet room. There was only a praying mat inside, and there was nothing else. It was obviously a place for the monks who lived here to chant sutras.
Zhao Hai sat in the living room and then took out the two jade slips that he obtained. Then he sent his spiritual force into the jade slip that had the rules of the Iron Buddha Temple written on it. Before long, the contents of the jade slip entered Zhao Hai's mind. There were a lot of things inside the jade slip, they were all rules of the Iron Buddha Temple, they were very detailed. There were also things that newcomers should pay attention to in the Iron Buddha Temple. There were even some hints about the newcomers' life in the Iron Buddha Temple, such as where to eat, where to receive missions, where to trade with fellow disciples, and so on.
There were a lot of rules in the Iron Buddha Temple. Although the Iron Buddha Temple was filled with monks, they still had to attend morning classes every day. Morning classes were something that all monks had to attend. As long as you were in the Iron Buddha Temple, unless you wanted to go into seclusion, you would need to inform the sect in advance. If you wanted to go into seclusion, then you would need to hang your key outside the door. This way, others would know that you were in seclusion. As long as you weren't in seclusion, then you would need to attend morning and evening classes. Morning and evening classes were something that all monks of the Iron Buddha Temple had to attend.
In addition to morning and evening classes, every half a month, there would be an Elder who would give a sermon in the square. You could go and listen, but you couldn't ask any questions. Unless you were accepted as a disciple by the Elder, then you wouldn't be able to ask any questions.
Apart from these, there were also missions. Everyone had to do five missions every year. Every year, the Iron Buddha Temple would give out a lot of missions. You can choose five missions from these missions. As long as you do five missions, then you can do whatever you want to do in the rest of your time. Missions and ordinary missions were very different. Missions from the Iron Buddha Temple also had rewards, and the rewards were very rich. However, no matter how many missions you do in a year, you would still have to do five missions in the next year unless you went into seclusion. If you went into seclusion for a few years, then the sect wouldn't force you to do missions. However, during this period, you wouldn't receive any benefits from the sect. In other words, if you went into seclusion for a year, then the sect wouldn't keep the crystals and pills that you receive every month as punishment for not doing missions.
To be honest, Zhao Hai was surprised. He didn't think that the rules of the Iron Buddha Temple would be this strict. However, he didn't think much about it, it didn't affect him in any way.
In addition to the missions, every five years, there would be a big competition in the sect. Outer disciples would compete with outer disciples, and the top ten of the big competition would compete with the bottom ten of the inner disciples. If the top ten of the outer disciples could defeat any one of the bottom ten of the inner disciples, then you would become an inner disciple, and that inner disciple would be demoted to an outer disciple. Similarly, it was the same for handyman disciples, inner disciples, and core disciples.
In addition to these, there were other benefits. Every month, the Sect would give each outer disciple ten pieces of fourth-grade crystal stones, a bottle of medicinal pills, and a number of other cultivation materials. After all, what kind of cultivation materials they were would depend on their cultivation situation.
After reading the contents of the jade slip, Zhao Hai couldn't help but let out a long breath. At the back of the jade slip was a map for outer disciples. This map showed all the places that outer disciples could go, including places to eat. There were also plazas for outer disciples. These plazas were for outer disciples to listen to lectures from elders, practice martial arts, and do morning and evening classes. There were also places to trade, and places to receive missions.
In the Iron Buddha Temple, outer disciples could trade with each other, but only in a designated location. This was because when outer disciples went out to do missions, they would often obtain other things. And these things weren't something that the sect would want. However, there were some things that you couldn't use, but others might. Because of this, there was the existence of this trading ground.
It can be said that the Iron Buddha Temple's management of its disciples was very strict. At the very least, it was stricter than the other sects. However, the treatment of the Iron Buddha Temple was also very good, Zhao Hai was basically satisfied.
Then Zhao Hai took out another jade slip. This jade slip contained the Iron Buddha Sect's entry cultivation method, the Iron Buddha Lotus Cultivation Method. Zhao Hai really wanted to see what was so great about the Iron Buddha Temple's entry cultivation method.
When Zhao Hai poured his spiritual force into the jade slip, a paragraph of text immediately appeared in his mind. When Zhao Hai saw these words, he couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't think that the Iron Buddha Temple's entry cultivation method would be like this.
The Iron Buddha Lotus Cultivation Method of the Iron Buddha Temple was very special. It was a cultivation method that relied on external forces to strengthen the body. Those who practice this cultivation method can use external forces to help their cultivation. And the way they use external forces was very special. They actually relied on refining iron essence energy and then slowly cultivated their body. This was also the reason why the monks of the Iron Buddha Temple had dark skin. This was because they absorbed a lot of iron essence energy, so their skin naturally turned into the same color as iron essence.
