Chapter 52 – Choosing a Cave
Chapter 52 – Selecting a Cave Mansion
After receiving the entry benefits, Shen Long and the others followed Li Qian and Zhao Bin out of the Deacon Tower.
Two green-colored giant eagles with wings spread out three feet descended from the sky and landed in front of them.
A middle-aged man of medium stature and a white-skirted woman with snowy skin sat on the backs of the green giant eagles, and looking at their auras, they were both Foundation Establishment cultivators.
“Senior Sister Li, Senior Brother Zhao, we were ordered by our Senior Mother to come and pick up Senior Nephew Lin and the others at Golden Toad Peak, is there no problem!”
The middle-aged man spoke, his voice booming.
“Of course there’s no problem, then we’ll work hard for Senior Brother Liu.”
Li Qian said politely.
The middle-aged man and the white-skirted woman were called Liu Lei and Chen Jiao respectively, and they were disciples of the Golden Toad Realist, and the Golden Toad Peak was the location of the Golden Toad Realist’s cave, which was full of spiritual energy.
Lin Sisi’s seven people walked out and bowed at Liu Lei and Chen Jiao, saying in unison, “Disciples pay their respects to Uncle Liu and Aunt Chen.”
Liu Lei nodded and said in a pleasant manner, “Senior Auntie knows that you guys are initiated and asked us to come over to take you there, come with us!”
Lin Sisi’s seven people walked onto the back of the green colored giant eagle, the wings of the green colored giant eagle gently flapped, whipping up a gust of wind, and flew towards the high altitude, and soon disappeared.
Gu Tianhong and the other new disciples were filled with envy, they were all new disciples, the connections were just different, if they could live in Golden Toad Peak, their cultivation speed would definitely be much faster.
Zhao Bin sacrificed a green colored flying boat and carried the crowd away from this place.
After a tea time, the green colored flying boat landed on top of a peak with a steep mountain, there were quite a few buildings here, extending from the foot of the mountain to the top.
At the top of the mountain was a vast green stone plaza, and there was a green colored palace over twenty feet tall, with the three big words “Green Cloud Palace” written on the plaque.
On the left and right sides, there was a nine-story green-colored pavilion with flying eaves and arches, carved beams and paintings, and the plaques of the two green-colored pavilions read “Spiritual Meal Pavilion” and “Teaching Pavilion” respectively.
A white-clothed young man with a gentlemanly appearance stood at the entrance of the Green Cloud Hall, while a young woman in her early thirties in a green dress, a green-robed old man with a flushed face, and a tall and thin middle-aged man stood behind the white-clothed young man.
“Senior brother Liu, where is senior brother Xu!”
Li Qian opened her mouth and asked.
“Senior Brother Xu is still in closed-door cultivation, I am temporarily in charge of managing Qing Yun Peak, I heard that there are new disciples entering today, so I purposely waited here.”
The white-clothed youth smiled and said.
“This is the deputy peak master of Qing Yun Peak, Liu Xian Liu master brother, in the future you will live in Qing Yun Peak, if you have built the foundation, you can move to the inner peak, you have to obey the management of Liu master brother in the future, do you know?”
Li Qian said with a straight face.
“Yes, Senior Aunt Li.”
Shen Long and the others answered down with their mouths full, bowed at Liu Xian and said in unison, “Disciples pay their respects to Senior Uncle Liu,”
“From now on, you will be the disciples of Qing Yun Peak, these three are Liu Yu, Sun Sen and Qin Shan, they are responsible for managing the Spiritual Meal Pavilion, the Teaching Pavilion and the common affairs respectively, you will be learning the basics of Immortal Cultivation in the Teaching Pavilion for a period of three years, for a period of three years, you don’t have to do any chores, you will be able to receive a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill and ten Spirit Stones from the Deacon’s Tower each month, and your three meals a day are provided free of charge by the Sect, and you can eat at the Spirit Meal Pavilion to eat, and if you want to eat better you’ll pay for the spirit stones yourself.”
Liu Xian slowly said.
“Disciple Gu Tianhong, Uncle Liu, do I have to study for three years?”
Gu Tianhong asked.
“That’s not true, the first three months must be on time, those who are late and leave early are severely punished, after three months, you can not go, but every three years a small competition is held, the bottom fifty have to go to do chores for one year, and the next small competition is two years later.” Liu Xian explained.
“Disciple Ye Yutang, Uncle Liu, how many disciples do we have in Qing Yun Peak? Is the small competition for all disciples?”
Ye Yutang asked.
Liu Xian looked at Li Qian, who said, “There are a total of eighty-seven newly enrolled disciples, and seven of the Lin family’s children followed senior brother Liu to Golden Toad Peak.”
Liu Xian nodded and said, “Counting you guys, there are five hundred and thirty-two disciples in Qing Yun Peak, all qi refining cultivators under the age of sixty can take part in the small competition, the top fifty in the small competition can get rewards, the higher the ranking, the more generous the rewards are, there are a total of two Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Qing Yun Peak, one of them is Xu Hai, Senior Brother Xu, and the other is me, we are in charge of managing you guys, if you encounter any trouble in your life, you can look for Qin Shan, and he’ll try to help you guys out, Qin Shan, pick cave dwellings for them, according to cultivation and age, the higher the cultivation and the younger the age, priority will be given.”
“Yes, Senior Uncle Liu.”
Qin Shan agreed.
Liu Xian looked at Li Qian and Zhao Bin and said with a smile, “Senior Sister Li and Senior Brother Zhao, it will take some time for them to select their cave residence, so come to the hall to rest for a few moments and have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue.”
Li Qian and Zhao Bin were fine with it, handing over the roster of new disciples to Qin Shan, they followed Liu Xian into the Qing Yun Hall.
Qin Shan flipped through the roster, which was sorted by cultivation level and age, he only needed to read out the names, and then handed a golden dharma disk to the new disciples, allowing them to pick their own free cave.
Gu Tianhong was the youngest at the ninth level of Qi Refining and was the first to pick.
Qi refining cultivators who came from Immortal Cultivation Families were generally younger and were also at the eighth level of Qi refining, so naturally they were the ones to pick first.
After half a quarter of an hour, most of the new disciples had finished picking, and it was Shen Long’s turn to pick.
Shen Long received the golden dharma disk, there was a line of text on it, introducing the yard’s area and layout, if you don’t like it, you can cross it over.
Purple Bamboo Courtyard, covers an area of three acres, a two-story pavilion, a stone pavilion, a fish pond and two and a half acres of spiritual fields.
Golden Woo courtyard, covers an area of four acres, a three story attic, a bamboo pavilion, a garden, a fish pond and three acres of spiritual fields.
The Red Peach Courtyard, covering an area of three acres, a two-story attic, a garden and two and a half acres of spiritual fields.
——
Shen Long carefully check, he will not raise spirit fish, and does not intend to raise spirit fish, the courtyard with a fish pond is directly ignored, the courtyard with too small a spiritual field area is not wanted, and there is a garden is not wanted to maximize the economic benefits.
After checking all the vacant caves, Shen Long chose Qingmei courtyard, covering an area of four acres, a two-story high attic, and the rest is all spiritual fields.
After selecting the cave residence, Shen Long took out the identity nameplate and handed it to Qin Shan.
Qin Shan put the identity nameplate on top of the golden disk, the golden disk lit up with a burst of golden light, he took out a green circular token, engraved with the word “Qingmei”.
Qin Shan handed the circular token and identity nameplate to Shen Long and said, “This is the key to activate the ban attached to Qingmei courtyard, you provide the spirit stones yourself, put away your personal belongings, activate the ban, and come back immediately.”
“Many thanks, Senior Brother Qin.”
Shen Long claimed his thanks, took the token, and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.
Each courtyard had a plaque with the name of the courtyard written on it.
Shen Long executed the Wind Sentry Technique and moved very fast, searching for the Qingmei Courtyard.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, he found the Qingmei Courtyard, and the courtyard door was tightly closed.
He pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
