Fang Xing followed the elder's words and recited them one sentence at a time. The Three Rules and Twelve Commandments were actually something similar to an oath. Fang Xing only felt that as he recited them one sentence at a time, something in his body seemed to be drawn away bit by bit. And under the portrait of Dao Ancestor Yun Youzi, the purple copper oil lamp gradually lit up, its light was gentle.
Only then did he understand that joining the Blue Cloud Sect was not a matter of making up a lie. He had to leave behind a Soul Lamp.
This Soul Lamp was his Life Lamp. If he went out to travel in the future and met with an accident, this Soul Lamp would be extinguished. Through this Soul Lamp, he could even leave behind some clues for the Dao Sect to investigate the cause of his death.
Moreover, Fang Xing also vaguely felt that there might be a way to counter him in this Soul Lamp.
The Three Rules and Twelve Commandments were mostly things that the Dao Sect disciples could not casually violate, such as betraying the sect, harming fellow disciples, befriending the demonic path, killing the innocent, and so on. To put it bluntly, these were all common words, and he did not know if anyone followed them.
Fang Xing felt suffocated. If the Three Rules and Twelve Commandments were really followed by every disciple of the Blue Cloud Sect, Xiao Jianming would not have killed everyone in the Ghost Smoke Valley indiscriminately.
Although there were indeed many villains in the valley, there were also many innocent people who did not deserve to die.
After the Three Rules and Twelve Commandments were read, the elder in the middle took out an aquamarine jade talisman that was half a foot long and four fingers wide. Then, he pinched a little flame from the oil lamp, made a hand seal, and sent the flame into the jade talisman. The jade talisman immediately changed like water ripples, and finally turned into the word "Attainment". Green clouds wrapped around the word "Attainment".
The elder handed the jade talisman to Fang Xing and said, "From today onwards, this jade talisman is your Life Token. You must keep it well!"
Fang Xing reached out and took a look at the Yin Yang God and Demon Mirror. This jade talisman turned out to be a basic Dharma Artifact. It had many magical uses. It could verify one's identity, check the topographic map of the Blue Cloud Sect, and even have a "Sound Transmission Talisman" function to store sound. In addition, this talisman was also connected to Fang Xing's Life Lamp. If Fang Xing encountered danger, he could use it to ask the Dao Sect for help.
Fang Xing nodded his head in satisfaction. After entering the inner sect, the treatment was indeed different. Even the wooden token was replaced with a jade token.
After he was done, the elder on the far left, who had been guarding the Promotion Hall since the beginning, signaled Fang Xing to come to the front.
Fang Xing followed him and came to the purple table in front of the portrait. There were five ancient books on it. The elder said, "Once you become an inner disciple of the Blue Cloud Sect, you can choose one of the Five Green Cloud Techniques to cultivate. There are five orthodox techniques here, all of which contain the Great Dao. They will also be the foundation for you to settle down in the cultivation world in the future. Think about it and tell me, which cultivation technique do you want to cultivate?"
"Five Green Cloud Techniques?"
Fang Xing's spirit was lifted. He had been waiting for this. He immediately focused his attention on the five ancient books on the purple table.
The Yin Yang God and Demon Mirror immediately started spinning. Information flashed in Fang Xing's mind:
"Yi Wood Growth Technique. Middle-level technique. Spirit Affinity, Rain Swamp Transformation …"
"Creation Talisman Technique. Middle-level technique. Ten Thousand Talisman Transformation, Golden Talisman Comprehension …"
"Mountain and Lake Traction Technique. Middle-level technique. Mountain and Lake, Formation Theory …"
"Green Cloud Nine Swords Technique. Middle-level technique. Green Cloud Illusion, Sword God …"
"Green Flame True Forging Technique. Middle-level technique. Cultivating green fire, forging gold …"
In an instant, the grades and main cultivation directions of the five techniques appeared in Fang Xing's mind. He was overjoyed.
Although he knew that the Yin Yang God and Demon Mirror was magical, it was the first time he saw such a profound technique. It was also the first time he used the mirror to appraise these mysterious techniques that he had never come into contact with before.
Moreover, when Fang Xing saw the five techniques, he had an epiphany in his mind. The mysterious techniques and supernatural powers in the world were divided into different levels. The upper levels were Dao, Heaven, and Immortal, while the lower levels were God, Mystic, Law, and Foundation. In other words, there were countless cultivation techniques in the world. However, according to their grades and mysteries, they were divided into seven levels: Dao, Heaven, Immortal, God, Mystic, Law, and Foundation. Each level was worlds apart.
Most of the five techniques in the Blue Cloud Sect belonged to the category of techniques. Moreover, their grades were different.
He really didn't know if he didn't look at it. Now that he saw it, he understood. The Blue Cloud Sect, which was regarded as one of the Five Orthodox Techniques in his eyes, was actually ranked second from the bottom among all the techniques. Then, how powerful would the techniques above it be?
When the long-bearded elder saw that Fang Xing was lost in thought while looking at the Five Orthodox Techniques on the purple table, he thought that Fang Xing didn't know how to choose the techniques. This was also a common occurrence when outer sect disciples joined the inner sect. After all, the Dao techniques were profound. When ordinary disciples saw them, they would often feel timid. They felt that all the techniques were incomparably profound and profound. There were also some who didn't dare to choose casually and needed guidance.
"Fang Xing, listen to me. These five techniques are not only related to the improvement of your cultivation in the future. They are also related to your means of settling down and earning resources. Look at this Yi Wood Growth Technique. After cultivating it, you can get close to living plants and use it to cultivate spiritual herbs. It is extremely convenient. If you cultivate this technique, if you want to cultivate pill techniques, it is equivalent to obtaining a great help for no reason. Therefore, the disciples of the Blue Cloud Sect's Vermilion Cloud Valley usually cultivate this technique. Let me ask you, are you willing to learn this technique?"
Fang Xing was startled by this elder. His gaze quickly swept across the Flying Blue Cloud Sword Technique. He shook his head and said, "Planting herbs? Not learning! "
When the elder heard Fang Xing describe the "Yi Wood Growth Technique" as "planting herbs", he was instantly stunned. He shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Usually, when outer sect disciples joined the inner sect, the techniques they cultivated were all decided by the three of them. The cultivation techniques they chose were usually considered based on the disciple's natural endowments and conditions. Usually, no one could refuse. However, although Fang Xing's natural endowments were ordinary, he was the first among this batch of outer sect disciples to enter the inner sect. Therefore, they decided to give him the privilege of choosing.
Therefore, he patiently pointed at the second "Talisman of All Creation" and said, "This technique focuses on creating talismans. Through talisman arts and talisman theories, all things are created. After understanding the talisman theories, there are many uses for it. You can use it to inscribe weapons, create talismans, and even refine some special pills. It is easy to earn resources. However, cultivating this technique requires an extremely high level of attainment in calligraphy. Are you willing to learn?"
Fang Xing shook his head and said, "My head hurts when I write. I don't want to learn!"
The long-bearded elder was speechless. He pointed at the Mountain and River Guiding Technique and said, "This technique focuses on observing the movement of the mountains and rivers. Using the technique of divination, one can comprehend the relationship between all things in the world. From this, one can create a formation and borrow the power of all things for one's own use. After learning it, one can refine a formation. In the future, if one were to search for spiritual herbs and strange beasts, one can also use it to break natural formation restrictions. Are you willing to learn?"
Fang Xing said, "No way. I don't even know how to use an abacus. Divination is even worse!"
The long-bearded elder was speechless. He glared at Fang Xing, then pointed at the Azureflame True Forging Technique and said, "This technique cultivates spirit flames and refines all kinds of metal to forge Magic Tools. It's also the easiest technique to earn spirit stones in the cultivation world, are you willing to learn it?"
Fang Xing grinned and said, "Blacksmithing, I don't want to learn it!"
The long-bearded elder was furious. He stretched out his hand and slapped Fang Xing's head. He scolded, "You don't want to learn this, you don't want to learn that. What do you want to learn?"
Even though he didn't use much strength in this slap, it showed that he was really angry.
Even though this long-bearded elder was angry, Fang Xing didn't do anything. He was still smiling.
Growing up in an extremely dangerous bandit lair since he was young had allowed him to possess an outstanding potential, and that was the ability to judge a person's degree of danger. To a certain extent, it could be understood as judging the opponent's hostility. This wasn't some lowly observation, but rather a rather accurate intuition. Through this intuition, Fang Xing could judge who was more dangerous, and not judge based on cultivation.
When he first met Xu Lingyun, he only said a few words. He felt that although Xu Lingyun was cold and arrogant, she was a reasonable person. As long as a person was reasonable, the danger would be reduced. So even though Xu Lingyun's cultivation was high, he wasn't afraid of her. At this time, facing this long-bearded elder, he felt that the other party was a person with a clear mind. So, Fang Xing wasn't afraid.
Hearing the long-bearded elder's question, he smiled and pointed at the Green Cloud Nine Sword Technique in the middle. He said, "I want to learn this!"
He wasn't stupid. He could already see through the Yin Yang Demon Mirror that the Green Cloud Nine Sword Technique was a high-grade technique. The other four were all mid-grade techniques. Naturally, he wanted to learn the higher-grade Green Cloud Nine Sword Technique. If there was a higher grade, who would learn a lower grade technique?
Unexpectedly, the long-bearded elder took a look at the Green Cloud Nine Sword Technique. He shook his head and sighed. "You can't afford to learn this technique!"
