Chapter 185 Elder Gu
"Junior brother, Master is like this, with a more easy-going personality. He was like this when I came here too."
Ying Qian looked at Xuanyuan Ruize with a hint of worry in his eyes. He was well aware of Xuanyuan Ruize's excellence. Many forces in the world of immortal cultivation were eyeing him and wanted to poach him and recruit him.
He thought to himself, if Xuanyuan Ruize thought too much about his master's attitude or even ran away, his master would cry to death.
"Don't worry, senior brother. I understand." Xuanyuan Ruize responded with a smile. He looked indifferent and obviously did not have the bad habit of needing others to praise him all the time.
In his opinion, the master's easy-going nature made him feel more at ease and friendly. Without the constraints of red tape, he could focus more on his practice.
Ying Qian led Xuanyuan Ruize as they walked and talked along the winding path. The path was lined with green trees and lush flowers and plants. Occasionally, a few spirit butterflies fluttered among them, making it like a vivid painting.
Along the way, Ying Qian enthusiastically introduced to Xuanyuan Ruize some interesting things in the sect and the uses of various buildings. Xuanyuan Ruize listened with great interest and nodded in response from time to time.
Soon, they arrived at Xuanyuan Ruize's courtyard. "Brother, we're here. This is the courtyard of the direct disciples." Ying Qian said with a smile.
Xuanyuan Ruize looked up and saw that the courtyard in front of him was spacious and majestic. The wall was made of an unknown dark jade stone, emitting a faint warm luster. Above the gate of the courtyard hung an ancient plaque with three large characters "Mingdaoyuan" written on it. The writing was vigorous and revealed an extraordinary atmosphere.
Walking into the courtyard, the layout is exquisite. There are several rare spiritual trees planted in the courtyard, and some small bells are hung on the branches. When the breeze blows, the bells make clear and pleasant sounds, as if playing a beautiful piece of music.
The ground was paved with flat stone slabs, on which were engraved some mysterious runes, faintly glowing, as if containing some kind of mysterious power.
The direct disciples all have their own independent courtyards, and each courtyard is equipped with four outer disciples to take care of the daily life of the direct disciples.
Of course, these outer disciples are paid. On the one hand, they can take this opportunity to get close to the direct disciples and learn the cultivation experience. On the other hand, they can also obtain some cultivation resources as rewards.
Xuanyuan Ruize looked at his own courtyard and compared it in his mind. This place seemed to be about the same size as the East Palace, but the atmosphere was completely different.
The East Palace is luxurious and majestic, but this place is more otherworldly. There is a rich spiritual energy everywhere, making people feel comfortable physically and mentally, as if every breath can cleanse the impurities of the body and mind.
"The yard next to it is mine, and the one at the back belongs to my second junior brother. The master has eight disciples in total, and I'm the only one in the sect now. The other junior brothers have gone out to purchase supplies. I'll introduce them to you later." Ying Qian said, pointing to the yard next to it.
Xuanyuan Ruize nodded and said, "By the way, Senior Brother, I have friends outside and I haven't greeted them yet."
"Come, I'll take you to get your ID card. Then you can enter and leave the sect freely. You can also bring your friends with you. However, the sect will verify the identities of outsiders." Ying Qian said enthusiastically, and then took Xuanyuan Ruize to the place where the ID cards were issued.
Along the way, Ying Qian told Xuanyuan Ruize some rules of the sect, such as not fighting at will within the sect, not trespassing into other people's forbidden areas without permission, and needing to complete certain sect tasks every month, etc.
Xuanyuan Ruize listened carefully and memorized these rules one by one in his heart. He knew that only by abiding by the sect's rules could he practice and live better in this new environment.
"Elder Gu, I am bringing my junior brother to get an identity badge."
Ying Qian led Xuanyuan Ruize to a hall where many people were coming and going. Some were here to take on tasks, some were here to stroll around, and some were here to apply for badges like Xuanyuan Ruize.
Elder Gu looked at Xuanyuan Ruize and said, "I think this is your Yaofeng's new disciple Xuanyuan Ruize."
Ying Qian said respectfully: "Yes, Elder Gu, thank you so much, I'm sorry to trouble you!"
Elder Gu smiled and waved his hand, responding cordially: "Ah, what trouble are you talking about? This is my job, it should be like this."
In fact, Elder Gu was not on duty here every day, he just came here occasionally to inspect. Today, the original manager in charge of this matter happened to be out for some business, so he took over the post temporarily.
As Elder Gu spoke, he handed Xuanyuan Ruize an exquisite waist badge and a set of gorgeous clothes that were exclusively for direct disciples, and patiently instructed: "Here, child, take them. This waist badge is your identity certificate. You will rely on it to enter and exit our sect in the future. And this set of clothes is also one of the symbols of a direct disciple."
Xuanyuan Ruize took the items without saying a word and put them into his space ring without hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Elder Gu couldn't help but be slightly surprised, thinking to himself: "Wow, this guy is not simple! He actually owns such a rare thing as a space ring. You know, the main reason why many cultivators generally choose to use storage bags instead of space rings is that the former has a higher cost-effectiveness. Although the internal space of the space ring is wider and more convenient to carry, the high price really makes many people stay away!"
Thinking of this, Elder Gu couldn't help but become more curious and concerned about Xuanyuan Ruize.
"Since the things have been handed over to you, I won't keep you any longer." Elder Gu said to Xuanyuan Ruize and others amiably with a smile on his face. His eyes were gentle and kind, like the warm sunshine in spring, making people feel extremely warm and at ease.
“If you encounter any difficulties in the sect in the future, you can come to me at any time.” Elder Gu added, his tone sincere and earnest.
He nodded slightly, indicating that he was willing to lend them a helping hand at any time.
"Thank you, Elder Gu." Xuanyuan Ruize hurriedly bowed his hands to express his gratitude, his face full of gratitude. Although he didn't know the weight of Elder Gu's words, he also understood that this was a rare kindness and care.
On the way back, Xuanyuan Ruize was still lingering with a question in his mind. Finally, he could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked, "Brother, what's going on with Elder Gu? I saw many people being particularly respectful to him."
Ying Qian, who was walking beside him, heard this and raised his lips slightly, revealing a mysterious smile. He said softly, "Elder Gu... his strength is a mystery! Although he usually stays at home, every time the sect encounters a major crisis, he can always show his powerful strength to turn the tide and amaze everyone. Moreover, even the sect master is respectful and polite when facing him! So naturally everyone is in awe of him."
After hearing Ying Qian's explanation, Xuanyuan Ruize couldn't help but become even more curious about Elder Gu.
