Chapter 188: The Ceremony of Accepting Disciples
After about 97 days of retreat, Guo Yunfeng, who had successfully built the foundation, finally came out of seclusion.
At this time, it was less than half a month before the 10th anniversary celebration of the Qingyun Sect. Her ability to leave the country at this time also added a lot of glory to the upcoming celebration.
Naturally, the foundation-building celebration that should have been held for it was simply placed on the celebration half a month later.
After congratulating her lively, Wang Cheng, as the head of the sect, also cared about her practice.
"Since the second senior sister has successfully built the foundation, I must know what qualifications she has. I wonder if there are any intermediate skills collected in the sect that meet the needs of the second senior sister?"
When Qingyun Sect destroyed the Huangshi Sect, it obtained four intermediate skills, and the intermediate skills that Lin Yuanshan and Xu Jinfeng practiced respectively, so that there are now six intermediate skills in the sect's Sutra Gallery for people to choose to practice.
However, these skills also overlap the qualification requirements. If Guo Yunfeng's qualifications happen to be not included, he has to find another suitable intermediate skill for him.
Sure enough, after hearing Wang Cheng's words at this moment, Guo Yunfeng pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "Senior Sister, I have 30% water-sport spiritual root qualifications, 15% wood-sport spiritual root qualifications, and 15% thunder-sport spiritual root qualifications. I have also read the techniques collected in the sect. I am afraid it is difficult to find a suitable one for my practice!"
With her qualifications, only practicing the practice of water and wood, or the practice of water and mine, can there be a possibility of further progress in practice. Otherwise, if you only practice the water exercise alone, there is no hope of further progress.
After hearing her words, Wang Cheng felt a little disappointed, because this meant that Qingyun Sect would add another spiritual stone to buy her practice skills.
But this disappointment must not be reflected. Wang Cheng still nodded with his expression on his face and comforted him softly: "It doesn't matter if you don't. After the sect celebration, let the eldest brother take you to the market to buy a suitable martial art."
After saying that, he reached out and touched the storage bag on his waist, took out a black long sword spirit weapon and handed it to him, saying, "Second Senior Sister, since the foundation building has been successfully established, he must be promoted to the elder of this sect. This [Ink-patterned Knife] spiritual weapon is just given to you as a sect benefit. I hope your senior sister will not dislike you."
When the Huangshi Sect was destroyed, Qingyun Sect seized a lot of spiritual weapons. In addition to the spiritual weapons used by Wang Cheng and the other three, a few were sold at that time, but this [Ink-patterned Knife] spiritual weapon was kept by Wang Cheng and not sold.
At this time, Guo Yunfeng successfully built the foundation, so he could use this object.
As soon as Guo Yunfeng successfully built the foundation, he gained a second-level low-grade spiritual weapon suitable for him. Of course, he would only be happy and would not dislike anything.
After congratulating Guo Yunfeng on building the foundation, five days passed and the [Silver Horn Thunder Python], which had been dormant for more than ten days, finally recovered its injuries through a single molting, at least there were no scars on the surface.
However, the [Silver Horn Thunder Python] that had just finished shedding was still out of weakness. Wang Cheng was afraid that something would happen to it outside, so he simply asked it to stay in the back mountain first, and wait for the celebration to recover after the strength.
At this time, because there were less than ten days before the 10th anniversary celebration of the Qingyun Sect, some sects that received invitations had already sent people to come over in advance.
Some of the people who came here alone represented the sect, while others brought the juniors with their Qi Refining Stage cultivation to come together.
As the head of Qingyun Sect, Wang Cheng had to come forward to receive these people one by one and arrange their residences, and even take them to visit the mountain gate of Qingyun Sect first.
This way until the day before the celebration, except for the three heavyweight VIPs, all the visitors who received the invitation and agreed to attend the celebration had settled at the place provided by Qingyunmen.
The next morning, as if it had already been discussed, Yan Ying, Lan Yuxi and Tan Qing, the three VIPs, arrived outside Qingyun Peak almost by point, and were then greeted on the mountain enthusiastically by Wang Cheng.
At this time, in addition to the monks from Qingyun Sect on Qingyun Peak, there were seven other sect members who sent people to attend the 10th anniversary celebration of the establishment of the Qingyun Sect.
When these people saw the appearance of Yan Ying, a female cultivator who was wearing the costumes of the inner disciples of Longshan Academy and who was as high as the late stage of foundation building, they all showed a dark look of surprise without Wang Cheng's expectations.
Although Wang Cheng had not introduced the origin of the female cultivator Yan Ying, it was enough to make these people look at him with admiration.
According to the scheduled plan, after all the guests arrived, they would first invite these people to go outside the Zushi Hall to watch the ceremony and witness the introductory ceremony of the new disciples of Qingyun Sect, and then other programs.
Therefore, after the guests arrived, Wang Cheng immediately replaced the robes of the leader with various auspicious patterns embroidered with sun, moon, stars, qilin, real dragon, phoenix and other auspicious patterns, and put on a hibiscus golden crown. He looked solemn and first entered the ancestor's hall alone to worship the ancestor and report on the enrollment of disciples this time.
After he finished burning incense for the ancestor spirit card in the ancestor hall and reporting, he stood up, waved his hand, and said aloud in a majestic tone: "All the disciples come in to worship the ancestor!"
Suddenly, Yang Jing, Lu Jun and eleven inner disciples, who had already been dressed neatly and cheered up, all walked from outside to the ancestor's hall in blue clothes.
"Everyone kneel down!"
In the Ancestor Hall, Wang Cheng looked at the eleven energetic inner disciples, pressed his hands and issued instructions in a low voice.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
The sound of knees touching the ground sounded, and eleven disciples knelt down at the two thin spiritual cards above the Ancestor Hall, and none of them spoke.
At this time, Wang Cheng turned around and faced the master's spirit card. He pinched three sticks of ignited spirit incense in his hand and bowed deeply and bowed loudly, saying:
"Master, Master is above. Now there are eleven people including Yang Jing, Lu Jun, Di Feng, Wang Ce, Sun Boming, Yan Gang, Qi Mingxuan, Zhou Yuanqing, Liu Deyu, Dai Jun, Ma Xiuming, etc. Zhong Lingminxiu, with excellent qualifications and great use. His disciple Wang Cheng, as the head of the Qingyun Sect, granted them the identity of an inner disciple and included in the Qingyun Sect wall. I would like to pay homage to all the ancestors here!"
Wang Cheng specially used magic power to make the voice spread throughout most of Qingyun Peak, and the monks on Qingyun Peak could hear it today.
After paying the ancestors this sacrifice, Wang Cheng inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner, then turned around and looked at the eleven inner disciples kneeling on the ground and said, "Since you have decided to enter my Qingyun Sect to cultivate the truth and seek the Tao, you will respect the teachers and respect the Tao in the future, be friendly to the same disciples, and follow the rules of the gate... Can you do this?"
"Disciple can!"
The disciples responded in unison, and the sound spread ten miles.
Seeing this, Wang Cheng couldn't help but nodded slightly and said, "Since you can do it, let me swear to all the ancestors of this sect!"
Hearing his words, eleven inner disciples immediately performed a three-knock and nine-worship ceremony at the spiritual cards of the two ancestors of Qingyun Sect, and shouted loudly: "The ancestors are here, and their disciples Yang Jing, Lu Jun, Di Feng, Wang Ce, Sun Boming, Yan Gang, Qi Mingxuan, Zhou Yuanqing, Liu Deyu, Dai Jun, and Ma Xiuming were fortunate to join Qingyun Sect. In the future, they will definitely seek sincerity, respect their teachers, be friendly to their fellow disciples, and follow the rules of the gate..."
At this point, the introductory ceremony of the new disciple was completed.
However, in order to be more ritual and attractive, Wang Cheng also added a show.
He said loudly with a loud voice: "I will enter my Qingyun Sect and become the second generation of inner disciples of this sect. According to the rules of this sect, you will be rewarded with one first-level medium-grade storage bag, two first-level medium-grade attack and defense magic weapons, and 10 first-level medium-grade spiritual talismans. Now, this sect will personally issue these benefits to you and others!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and Xu Jinfeng, the elder of Qingyun Sect, entered the Zushi Hall with a tray containing eleven first-level medium-grade storage bags, and he personally distributed each storage bag to each inner disciple.
For Yang Jing, Lu Jun and other eleven inner disciples, these things are not very precious, but for free such things worth more than a thousand lower-grade spirit stones, it is enough to make them, who are generally in the middle stage of Qi refining, smile happily.
After Wang Cheng finished distributing the things, everyone bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Master!"
Until this time, today's apprenticeship ceremony was all completed.
After Wang Cheng took the lead and walked out of the Ancestor Hall, the monks who participated in the rituals today all expressed their congratulations.
"The leader of the sect is happy to win a good disciple, and the Qingyun Sect's wealth is prosperous. It's really gratifying!"
"Congratulations to the leader Wang for having eleven outstanding sects. Qingyun Sect has such a group of talented and heroes. In the future, the Qingyun will surely rise and become more and more prosperous!"
"With a young and promising leader like Master Wang and such a group of outstanding disciples, it will be difficult for Qingyun Sect to not prosper in the future. Congratulations to Master Wang!"
Although he knew that these words of congratulations and praise were just polite words, Wang Cheng was still very relieved after hearing this.
In a sense, these people are not wrong.
With a group of outstanding disciples such as Yang Jing, Lu Jun, and Di Feng, Qingyun Sect will only become more and more prosperous in the future.
"Hahahaha, thank you fellow Taoists for your love. I am deeply honored to be able to come to our sect to attend this celebration from thousands of miles away."
He laughed loudly and bowed to everyone, saying with a smile: "Today is the happy day for the tenth year of our sect. Wang and the Qingyun Sect are extremely happy about this. The fellow Taoists are invited to attend the celebration of the tenth year of our sect's establishment, which makes Wang and the sect extremely grateful."
Speaking of this, he bowed to the female cultivator Yan Ying and others and said, "Especially, fellow Yan Ying, fellow Lan Yuxi, fellow Tan Qing, three fellow Taoists, who were from Longshan Academy, [Yunlong Chamber of Commerce], big sects such as Chixia Sect, big chambers of commerce, and personal disciples of Jindan monks, but they are willing to visit our sect to attend this celebration. Wang and the whole sect are honored."
Chapter completed!
