Venerable Yuan

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

After three days of adapting, Zhou Yuan gradually became familiar with Saint Origin Peak, and at the same time, he also truly began to realize the benefits brought by the cave.

In the inner mountain, every disciple has a cave, but at different levels.

And every cave abode is connected to a source mountain, but obviously the higher level cave abode has a higher level connected source mountain.

Deep in the cave, there is a spring, and this is the place connected to Yuan Mountain.

In the spring, the majestic and pure source of heaven and earth is constantly pouring out all the time, and finally forms a light mist, filling the cave.

The efficiency of practicing in a place like this is obviously not comparable to tens of thousands of people practicing on the same source mountain in another mountain.

Therefore, in just three days in this Jinyuan Cave Mansion, Zhou Yuan realized that the Origin Qi in his body had become more profound, which allowed him to experience how big the gap was between the inner disciples and the outer disciples.

However, although the cave is good, it still requires sacrifice.

It is said that the cave can be exchanged for source jade. The price of Jinyuan Cave is about 10,000 source jade. At the same time, after the exchange, hundreds of source jade must be paid every month for maintenance.

This is obviously a very high price, but fortunately, the treatment of inner disciples is higher than that of outer disciples, and they receive about a thousand source jade every month.

Moreover, the Miscellaneous Affairs Pavilion in Neishan can also receive tasks, and the rewards are more generous, so that these disciples in Neishan can maintain the expenses of living in the cave.

Zhou Yuan didn't feel any pressure about this. He had made a lot of money by teaching Origin Technique before. In addition, Master Shen directly rewarded him with this Golden Origin Cave, so he saved ten thousand Origin Jade and only had to take care of daily tasks. maintenance overhead.

In his opinion, as long as it can be beneficial to his own cultivation, Yuanyu is just an external thing.

After three days of training in Jinyuan Cave, Zhou Yuan became somewhat interested in the more advanced Ziyuan Cave.

Jinyuan Cave Mansion is already so powerful, how far should Ziyuan Cave Mansion be?

And it is said that if you become one of the top ten saints, you can even enjoy a source mountain alone. There is only one cave in each source mountain. The source energy of the entire source mountain is only provided to that cave, and you can practice in that place. I'm afraid it will be even more violent.

That kind of cave is also called the Saint Son's Cave, which is higher than the Ziyuan Cave. Of course, even Elder Shen and the others are not qualified to grant a cave of that level. It must be given by Headmaster Qingyang and the five peak masters at the same time. resolution.

However, Saint Child Cave Mansion is still a bit far away from Zhou Yuan. At the moment, he decided to get the Ziyuan Cave Mansion first.

In the past few days, he had also figured out how much Shen Taiyuan valued him. Since the former really valued him so much, there was no need for him to be humble. He knew that Shen Taiyuan's purpose was simply to hope that he, the first in the ceremony, could achieve something. Different, after being given some training, he can show his potential, stand out from many disciples, and eventually become the chief disciple of Saint Origin Peak, obtain the peak's master seal, and make them feel proud and proud.

And this purpose is completely consistent with Zhou Yuan's purpose. After all, if he wants to obtain the second holy pattern, he must enter the sealed main peak.

…

"Will you go to today's morning class?"

In the cave, Zhou Yuan finished preparations and looked towards the mountain wall not far away. Outside was the deep cliff shrouded in clouds and mist. Yaoyao was sitting leisurely on a swing made of vines, holding Tuntun in her arms. , his eyes were just staring at the ancient book in his hand.

The sun shone through the clouds and mist, and fell on her body. Her skin, which was already as white as jade, seemed to be glowing and crystal clear. This scene was extremely stunning.

But Zhou Yuan has long been immune to this.

Hearing Zhou Yuan's voice, Yaoyao raised her eyes slightly and shook her head lazily.

"Not going."

She doesn't seem to have much interest in practicing.

Zhou Yuan was not surprised by this answer, so he nodded, stepped on the Origin Qi clouds and rose into the sky, heading directly towards the so-called "Taichu Rock".

Halfway through, he met Shen Wanjin and other new disciples who had just entered the inner mountain. It was quite lively when they walked together.

Ten minutes later, their speed slowed down, and they looked forward. They saw a giant peak tearing through the sky. The top of the giant peak seemed to be a huge blue rock.

That rock is incompatible with the giant peak. It was obviously moved there by force from outside. I think this giant rock must be Taichu Rock.

And on the huge blue rock, stands a blue hall.

At this time, many Origin Qi clouds rushed over and fell towards the main hall one after another.

Zhou Yuan and others also fell towards the blue hall, and saw three simple and vigorous characters above the hall.

"Seeking the Taoist Temple."

Zhou Yuan and others walked into the main hall and saw that the interior of the main hall was spacious and grand. At this time, inside the main hall, they could see a figure extending down in the form of stairs. At the highest point, sitting cross-legged, it was Elder Shen Taiyuan.

On the spacious stairs extending below, there are ancient futons.

These futons are divided into three colors, purple, gold and black.

The purple futon is at the top, closest to Shen Taiyuan, the golden futon is next, and the black futon is at the bottom... Obviously, this futon should also correspond to the disciple's level.

Zhou Yuan glanced at the futon and could faintly feel that there seemed to be a strange wave emanating from it, which was obviously not simple.

There were only eight purple futons, and now there were eight figures sitting cross-legged on them. The leader was Zhou Tai. Obviously they were the eight purple belt disciples of Shen Taiyuan.

When Zhou Yuan entered the hall, many eyes came to him. Zhou Tai smiled kindly at him, but the other disciples looked a little confused.

Especially the two or three purple belt disciples who were close to Zhou Tai looked at Zhou Yuan with some scrutiny and sharp eyes.

"Zhou Yuan, please sit here."

Shen Taiyuan also saw Zhou Yuan, but his expression was still cold and solemn, as rigid as a stone. He stretched out his finger and pointed downward.

That position, in the golden futon, is third.

Shen Taiyuan's actions immediately caused a low uproar in the hall, and many disciples looked enviously.

Because the futons here are not for casual sitting. The closer to the front, the greater the benefits. At the same time, it also represents status. The third golden futon represents the third seat of the golden belt disciple.

After sitting on it, even the other golden belt disciples who started earlier, as long as they are ranked third or lower, will call Zhou Yuan senior brother.

In the inner mountains, the hierarchy is undoubtedly more strict, far from the relaxed environment of the outer mountains, which is divided by age.

But normally, most of the new disciples can only sit back and rank behind the many old disciples, and slowly improve, while people like Zhou Yuan are directly awarded the golden belt disciples as soon as they enter. Three seats are rare.

Zhou Yuan also understood this, but he also figured it out. Since Shen Taiyuan had high hopes for him as the last straw, there was no need for him to be too humble. He would just accept any benefits and pay them back later. yes.

So, he simply ignored the many scrutiny and questioning eyes and walked directly to the third golden futon.

However, when he walked to the third golden futon, he suddenly noticed a look full of hostility.

He looked along and saw a long-haired young man looking at him with a gloomy expression on the fourth golden futon. It was the young man named Cao Shi.

Because the third seat was originally his, but today, it was given to Zhou Yuan.

The importance Shen Taiyuan paid to Zhou Yuan made him extremely jealous and unwilling. It was true that Zhou Yuan was the number one in the ceremony, but so what? In previous years, it was not the case that no one ranked first in the grand ceremony, but was finally surpassed by many disciples and fell back to the ordinary.

Is Master Shen so confident that he expects Zhou Yuan in front of him to become the second Chu Qing?

But, does he deserve to be compared with Chu Qing?
