"Bai Suyuan, you have extraordinary talent, so you don't have to start as an outer disciple like the others.
Let me ask you, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master and directly become a true disciple of my Torch Dragon Sect? "asked the short and plump man gently.
Bai Suyuan's mouth gaped open as she stood there in shock.
"Xiong Shan, you cultivate the law of metal. This child has the Moonlight Immortal Physique, so it's not suitable for you to nurture him. Let me teach him."
A hazy voice suddenly sounded in the hall. It spread out in the hall like layers of gentle water waves and entered everyone's ears.
When Han Li heard this voice, he felt like he was suddenly placed in an endless field of flowers. His mouth and nose were filled with a suffocating fragrance that made him want to be intoxicated.
At this moment, the huge divine sense in his mind suddenly jolted, and he instantly recovered.
The short and plump man's expression changed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he immediately recovered.
At this moment, a ball of white light appeared out of nowhere in the hall. It was so dazzling that one couldn't look at it directly.
Han Li narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to cover it.
The next moment, the white light suddenly disappeared, and a young woman in a palace dress appeared on the stone platform.
She looked to be in her thirties, with an oval face and picturesque facial features. Her eyes were especially charming, and her snow-white robe was tightly attached to her body, revealing an enchanting and voluptuous figure.
The young woman in white robe emitted a terrifying charm. Every frown and smile was like a spring breeze that gushed into one's heart, causing one's heart to be filled with endless charming fantasies.
Han Li took a glance at the woman, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. He immediately looked away, not daring to look at her any longer. At the same time, he secretly circulated the power of his divine sense, and a cool feeling immediately spread out in his heart. Only then did the abnormality in his body slowly disappear.
"Greetings, Dao Master Yun." The short and plump man bowed.
Han Li was slightly shocked, but immediately felt relieved. This young woman in white robe was actually one of the thirteen Golden Immortal Dao Masters of the Torch Dragon Sect. No wonder she had such a terrifying charm.
He immediately followed and bowed. Qi Liang, who was beside him, had already lowered his head and bowed. He didn't dare to raise his head to look at the young woman in white robe.
Bai Suyuan stared blankly at the woman. Her eyes were dazed, and she was clearly intoxicated by the young woman in white robe's endless charm.
This terrifying charm did not differentiate between men and women.
The white-robed young woman waved her hand, and Bai Suyuan's eyes immediately regained their clarity.
Bai Suyuan's expression changed when she saw Han Li and the others bowing to the white-robed young woman. She was about to bow as well.
"Good child, there's no need to be so polite."
The white-robed young woman grabbed Bai Suyuan and pulled her in front of her. The more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became.
"Child, your name is Suyuan, right?
Your Moonlight Immortal Physique is very compatible with my cultivation method. Are you willing to take me as your master and cultivate with me? "The white-robed young woman softly asked.
"Suyuan is willing. Greetings, Master." Bai Suyuan thought quickly and immediately bowed.
"Good, good, get up. From today onwards, you are my fifth direct disciple.
This Ruyi Ring is a Spirit Treasure that I obtained in my early years. Today, I will bestow it upon you to protect yourself. "
The white-robed young woman smiled and pulled Bai Suyuan up. With a flip of her hand, she took out a white jade ring that emitted an astonishing spiritual energy. It was clearly a top-grade Spirit Treasure, and she put it on her wrist.
"Thank you, Master, for your generous gift." Bai Suyuan was overjoyed and quickly thanked her.
The white-robed young woman finally raised her head and looked at the short and fat man. She said, "Xiong Shan, I will be taking this child with me. Do you have any objections?"
"Not at all. Since Path Master Yun's cultivation method is suitable for this child, it is naturally better for her to follow you." The short and fat man hurriedly smiled.
The white-robed young woman smiled faintly. Her eyes turned and looked at Han Li and Qi Liang. Her gaze lingered on Han Li for a moment.
The short and fat man noticed the white-robed young woman's gaze and immediately explained, "He is a rogue cultivator called Li Feiyu. He brought a Torch Dragon Token with him to join the sect. He has just been tested."
"Oh, I'll leave these trivial matters to you."
The white-robed young woman only took a glance before withdrawing her gaze. She seemed to have no interest in it.
"Suyuan, come with me." She pulled Bai Suyuan and waved her hand. A gentle white light enveloped the two of them.
Bai Suyuan hurriedly turned her head to look at Han Li. However, at this moment, the white light drowned her vision.
The white light flashed, and the two of them immediately disappeared without a trace.
The smile on the short and fat man's face slowly disappeared, and he revealed an extremely gloomy expression. He turned around and was about to leave.
"Vice Path Master Xiong, what should we do with Fellow Daoist Li?" Qi Liang hurriedly asked when he saw this.
"Hmph!
What is there to arrange? Just make him an ordinary inner court deacon. You can deal with him as you see fit. "The short and fat man said coldly. He had no intention of worrying about Han Li.
As soon as he finished speaking, his body flashed with a golden light, and he also disappeared without a trace.
After the white-robed young woman and the others left, Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
Elder Qi saw the strange expression on his face and reminded him, "Each cultivator has their own fortune. It's already not easy for Fellow Daoist to reach the True Immortal Stage. There's no need to be overly envious of others."
Han Li faltered slightly upon hearing this. He knew that this Elder Qi had most likely misunderstood him. He then smiled helplessly and didn't explain anything further.
"Since Vice Path Master Xiong has instructed me to arrange for Fellow Daoist to become an inner court deacon, then there are some sect rules that I must make clear to Fellow Daoist.
As for the specific details, I'll give you the relevant dossiers in a moment. There's no need to be in a hurry. "Elder Qi smiled.
"Thank you … May I ask, Elder Qi, what exactly do I need to be responsible for as an inner court deacon elder?" Han Li nodded and asked.
"Elder Li, you have two choices.
First, you can accept three ordinary deacon-level missions from the sect every one hundred years.
Of course, if Fellow Daoist has enough merit points to make up for it, then you don't have to carry out these missions, "Elder Qi explained slowly.
"What about the other choice?" Han Li asked.
"The second choice is for you to be like me and be responsible for the daily affairs of a certain hall in the sect. You only need to take ten years out of the hundred years.
However, many elders choose to hold this position for a hundred years in order to not affect their cultivation. After that, they can focus on their cultivation for the next nine hundred years, "Elder Qi continued to explain.
"If you're afraid of affecting your cultivation, then why don't you use merit points to make up for it?" Han Li was puzzled.
"Hahaha, about that … Firstly, merit points are extremely precious to the elders and disciples of the Fire Dragon Sect, so no one is willing to use them to make up for their missions.
Secondly, the sect doesn't allow you to cancel the daily deacon-level missions through the method of making up for it, "Elder Qi explained.
"Now that you mention it, if merit points are so precious, then it must be extremely difficult to obtain them," Han Li mused.
"That's right.
For the disciples of the sect, they usually have to take care of the spiritual fields for a few years in exchange for one merit point. If the elders take on the duties of a deacon-level mission, they can also get one merit point every month, "Elder Qi nodded.
"Then what if I choose to carry out the ordinary deacon-level missions?" Han Li asked.
"Although it's said to be the ordinary deacon-level missions, there are still differences in difficulty due to the specific content. Therefore, the merit points that can be exchanged for are naturally different.
Normally … It's at least ten merit points, and at most a hundred merit points.
Of course, if you have some special contributions to the sect, you can naturally obtain additional merit points.
You'll naturally understand this when you're familiar with the situation in the sect in the future, "Elder Qi was rather patient and explained with assurance.
"If that's the case, then I'll choose the first choice for the first hundred years," Han Li said after thinking about it.
"Well, most of the newly joined elders will basically make this choice.
Let's go, the Hall of Household Design happens to be here. I'll take you there to choose your cave abode first, "Elder Qi said with a smile.
Then, he took Han Li out of the Flamboyant Hall and flew with the wind towards another nearby mountain peak.
Compared to the mountain peak where the Flamboyant Hall was located, this place was much livelier.
On the mountain peak, there was a vermilion building complex that occupied an extremely wide area. There were hundreds of palaces and the huge plaza outside was filled with people. Although it couldn't be said to be a surging tide of people, there were quite a lot of them.
From time to time, there were a few rays of light that flew up or landed in the sky.
"The Hall of Household Design is in charge of the records of the sect's elders and disciples. At the same time, it is also in charge of the distribution of related resources. Therefore, it is one of the busiest halls in the sect," Qi Liang said after Han Li and Elder Qi landed on the plaza.
"No wonder there are so many people … It seems that it will take a long time. Thank you for your trouble, Elder Qi." Han Li nodded and said apologetically.
"No worries, Elder Yu of the Hall of Household Design has a good relationship with me. I will take you directly to him," Qi Liang said with a smile.
"Thank you," Han Li thanked him.
The two of them passed through the plaza. Many disciples saw Qi Liang wearing an elder's robe and would respectfully call him "Elder". Qi Liang only nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
After making his way into the cluster of palaces, Han Li could see that most of them were bustling with activity.
Under Qi Liang's guidance, they came to the hall that was the furthest inside.
At this moment, there were sounds of conversation in the hall. There were seven or eight figures inside, and they seemed to be arguing about something.
"Brother Yu!" Qi Liang led Han Li over the threshold. Before he could see anyone, he opened his mouth and called out.
Behind the seven or eight figures, a huge head with a red face poked out. It looked in their direction and then shrank back. Then, a loud voice was heard.
"Alright, you can go back first.
Come back tomorrow to talk about the change of cave abode. "
When the sect disciples heard this, they could only give up. One by one, they excused themselves and left the hall.
"Old Brother Qi, it's been a while since you've come here... Yi, the person at your side is..." Elder Yu, who had a somewhat obese body, shook his huge head and sized Han Li up.
