In his previous life, when Shi Feizhe read novels, he never understood why there was a "hiding" cultivation path.
Shouldn't one become overpowered after transmigrating and then go on a killing spree?
Now, after experiencing the ups and downs of the Jianghu, he deeply understood the "hiding" path. He urgently wished to find a place to cultivate for three to five years, achieve minor success in his cultivation technique, and then he wouldn't be killed by just anyone passing by.
Hiding was for the sake of not hiding, so that one day no one could speak loudly to him again.
Therefore, he followed the thick-browed man to the Sun Moon Radiance Sect. He was arranged in a large courtyard with about seven or eight rooms. Shi Feizhe was assigned to share a room with another person.
The room was neat and clean, and Shi Feizhe was very satisfied.
The Sun Moon Radiance Sect was an old sect in Qiu Yang City, with about a hundred people in total. It was said that the Sect Master Leng Qingqiu had a very good personal relationship with City Lord Lan, so the construction of buildings and roads in Qiu Yang City was specifically assigned to the Sun Moon Radiance Sect. The Sun Moon Radiance Sect also controlled a lot of benefits because of this, making a fortune.
So it's a civil engineering sect! Shi Feizhe suddenly realized.
He didn't get this information about the sect from the thick-browed man, but from chatting with his roommate.
Fan Jianqiang was his roommate.
According to Fan Jianqiang, he had only arrived half a month earlier than Shi Feizhe. The place they were in was in a corner of Qiu Yang City, extremely remote. To be able to gather so much information in half a month, Fan Jianqiang was also very gossipy!
"Recently, there's been some excitement in the city. It's the Golden Buddha Temple and the Heaven's Mandate Academy fighting like dogs! It's said that the Heaven's Mandate Academy transferred more than a dozen Qi Sea scholars from Yu Province, determined to drive the Golden Buddha Temple out of Qiu Yang City!" Fan Jianqiang lay on his bed, shaking his head and talking to Shi Feizhe.
"Didn't that thick-browed guy say we shouldn't run around without reason? How do you know so much?" Shi Feizhe sat on the edge of his bed, wondering.
"I heard it from others!" Fan Jianqiang said as if it were the most natural thing.
"..."
"Besides, he just told us not to run around, it's not like we're imprisoned. We can still occasionally go and inquire about these things!" Fan Jianqiang said.
"How is your practice of the Sun Moon United Heart Art taught by the sect?" Shi Feizhe asked.
"Hmm... I've been practicing for half a month and haven't even gotten started! I guess in another half a month, I'll be kicked out!" Fan Jianqiang said with a grin, completely unconcerned.
He had been in the Jianghu for several years and had seen all sorts of storms.
He already knew the routine of these trial disciples. It was just that he was naturally fond of watching excitement, and there was excitement to be seen in Qiu Yang City, as well as a free meal and lodging provided by a generous benefactor, so of course he was happy to be here.
As for the so-called Sun Moon United Heart Art, it was clearly a scam. He didn't even bother to try it!
Shi Feizhe pondered. Just now on the way, the thick-browed man had said it. They were all reserve disciples now. Only by mastering the Sun Moon United Heart Art within a month could they become outer disciples of their sect.
If they didn't succeed in cultivating within a month, they would have to offer Five Taels of Silver and part ways amicably.
He was about to say something else when he heard the thick-browed man's voice from outside.
"Disciples who arrived today, please come to the courtyard!"
Hearing the thick-browed man's voice, Shi Feizhe said something to Fan Jianqiang, then opened the door and went to the courtyard.
Besides Shi Feizhe, there were two other people in the courtyard, one named Yang Yang and one named Qian Xin. The three of them were the so-called reserve disciples recruited by the Sun Moon Radiance Sect in the city today.
"My name is Yin Tieyan, you can call me Senior Brother Yin! The three of you, please follow me to Elder Hua, the Transmission Elder!" The thick-browed Yin Tieyan finished speaking and led the way.
So the three of them followed Yin Tieyan out of the large courtyard, passed through two small courtyards, and arrived at another place.
This seemed to be a training ground, with a considerable square. On the square were placed weapons like swords, spears, staffs, stone locks, and dummies.
Yin Tieyan led the three of them to a hall within the training ground and said, "Martial Uncle Hua, the reserve disciples have been brought."
"Please come in!"
Shi Feizhe entered the hall and first smelled a fragrant incense. Then, his eyes were met with carved rosewood and expensive furniture. The most striking thing in the room was a glass fish tank about two to three meters long, containing a lotus flower, a few small fish, and several green stones, appearing quite elegant.
There's actually a glass fish tank in this era?
However, thinking of the might of True Person Realm experts in this world, it seemed that making glass by hand wasn't impossible?
Not to mention True Person Realm experts, even Circulatory Heaven experts, as long as their cultivation technique was suitable, could make glass by hand!
Elder Hua was the ancient-faced person Shi Feizhe had seen during the day. He looked at the shocked expressions of the few people seeing the glass fish tank with satisfaction. He had spent a lot of silver to buy that thing, just to see people's shocked expressions.
As the saying goes, if you have money and don't show off, isn't that the same as not having money?
"You've worked hard, you can go down now!" Elder Hua said to Yin Tieyan.
"Yes!" Yin Tieyan bowed to Elder Hua and left.
"I am Hua Wushuang, the Transmission Elder of the Sun Moon Radiance Sect. It is fate that the three of you have become reserve disciples of our Sun Moon Radiance Sect today. It is a fortunate event for the Sun Moon Radiance Sect, and also for you!" Yin Tieyan motioned for the three of them to sit down, then continued:
"The fundamental cultivation technique of our Sun Moon Radiance Sect is the Sun Moon Radiance Art. After cultivating it to great success, one can bear the sun and moon, possessing infinite power."
"However, this technique is quite difficult to get started with and requires cultivating the Sun Moon United Heart Art. Therefore, for the inheritance of the sect, we need to sift through the sand and select disciples from the Jianghu!"
"I believe Yin Tieyan has already told you about other matters. I will now impart the Sun Moon United Heart Art to you. I hope you will cultivate diligently, get started early, and become a member of the Sun Moon Radiance Sect!"
Hua Wushuang said a bunch of things that Shi Feizhe didn't know were true or false, making him a little sleepy.
Why does it feel like Elder Hua's words are a bit familiar, like he's painting a big picture for people?
The other two were surging with excitement. After all, the Sun Moon Radiance Sect was a well-known local sect. Joining such a sect meant their status was truly extraordinary!
"Thank you, Elder, for your guidance!" They both said in unison.
Their eagerness made Shi Feizhe seem less so. Hua Wushuang glanced at Shi Feizhe but didn't care. In his eyes, these trial disciples were just tools to be used and discarded!
"Cough cough..." Hua Wushuang cleared his throat and said, "You all have a foundation of blood energy and can visualize deities. The Sun Moon United Heart Art is a unique cultivation technique that allows one to use one's mind for two purposes, simultaneously visualizing two or even several deities."
"Our Sun Moon Radiance Art bears the sun and moon, precisely requiring the mind to be used for two purposes to simultaneously visualize the sun and moon..."
He began to speak slowly, explaining and imparting the Sun Moon United Heart Art to the three of them!
Who is the best at painting big pictures?
