After Mo Hua Mao got up, he started his regular practice.
An hour later, after finishing the practice, he went to the teaching room and waited for teaching.
Tutors are the general term for teachers within the sect who teach specific exercises such as cultivation, formations, alchemy, and weapon refining to outside disciples. At the same time, he is responsible for supervising and guiding outer disciples in their practice.
Tongxian Sect, like other sects in the cultivation world, also divides its disciples into three categories: direct descendants, inner sect and outer sect.
The outer gate of the sect is open to the outside world and focuses on preaching and teaching people to practice cultivation. It earns its income by collecting disciples’ entrance fees, that is, tuition fees. The outer disciples learn part of the sect’s inheritance that is open to the outside world. After the disciples graduate or retire, they have a romantic relationship with the sect, but have no actual relationship.
The inner sect is the main body of the sect. The disciples of the inner sect are attached to the sect. In addition to practicing, they will take care of the various industries of the sect, such as spiritual mines, spiritual lands, caves, trading houses, etc.
Disciples in the inner sect can learn the techniques and spells that are generally not taught outside the sect. The relationship between master and disciple is the link, and they are closely related to the sect and are inseparable. If an inner disciple commits an offense outside the sect, his/her sect can be held accountable. If an inner disciple rebels from the sect, he is often regarded as a traitor and has serious consequences.
The direct disciples of the sect are the direct lineage among the inner disciples. These disciples are either related by blood to the sect leader or elder, or they have a very deep master-disciple relationship. The direct disciples are the core of the sect and will often succeed to extremely important positions such as sect leader or elder in the future.
The direct disciples learn the core skills of the sect, as well as other secrets that are forbidden to be taught to outsiders. If the direct disciples rebel against the sect, they will be hunted to death.
The “Tao Law” prohibits lynching and indiscriminate killing of monks. Pursuing and killing the direct disciples who rebelled against the sect and violated the Tao Law will be held accountable by the Taoist court. However, most rebellions are under the jurisdiction of local Taoist officials. Daoting is the most powerful, and the Daoting Division, a sub-department in charge of all states and even cities, does not always have powerful monks.
The direct disciple’s rebellion is related to the core inheritance of the sect and is of great importance. Generally, the Dao Tingsi will not interfere. Especially for a giant sect, the local Dao Tingsi did not dare to intervene.
However, these have little to do with ink painting.
He is only a disciple of the outer sect of Yipin Tongxian Sect, not an inner sect, let alone a direct descendant. Even if he wants to be hunted down, others will look down on him…
Mo Hua wanted to enter the inner sect, but it didn’t matter if he didn’t have a spiritual stone. It was probably impossible in this life, let alone a direct descendant of the sect.
Mo Hua calmly sat at the seat for a while and then saw Yan Jiaoxi walking in with a serious look on his face.
Yan Jiaoxi is about forty or fifty years old. He is a serious man and has reached the ninth level of Qi refining.
Among the Tongxian Sect, Yan Jiaoxi’s status is quite high, because among all the teachers, only Yan Jiaoxi knows the formation, and it is said that it is possible to become a first-grade formation master through certification in a few years.
The formations of all Qi Refining Stage disciples of Tongxian Sect are taught by Yan Jiaoxi. Regardless of family disciples or ordinary cultivators, Yan Jiaoxi treats them equally. If someone makes a mistake, he will not give face to anyone. He will be blamed and punished if he deserves it. Just punish.
Therefore, the disciples of Tongxian Sect both respected and feared Yan Jiaoxi.
The sect’s training is held once a year, so the teaching is also held once a year.
Today is the last day of the Tongxian Sect’s annual practice. After today, it will be more than half a month of annual rest. The assessment results of various homework assignments for the sect disciples will also be released today.
Yan Jiaoxi held a stack of transcripts in his hand.
The disciples felt uneasy. Mo Hua was originally nothing, but looking at the disciples around him who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, they became nervous.
After a while, Mo Hua received his sect’s assessment results.
As usual, the formation assessment was grade A, which is what Mo Hua is best at. In Tongxian Sect, there are not many disciples who can achieve the first level in formation, and Mo Hua is one of them.
Mo Hua’s cultivation level is only rated as second-level. It’s not that he doesn’t work hard in cultivation, but that his bones are really limited. The small five-element spiritual roots of the middle grade are still the same no matter how much he cultivates. many.
If you take the time to learn several other courses well, such as General History of Taoism, Theory of Qi Refining, etc., you will basically get an A grade. And you need to spend spiritual stones to buy materials to learn well, such as refining elixirs, making talismans, etc., either B or C.
The ink painter was from a poor family and could not afford to borrow an alchemy furnace, so naturally he could not learn well. During the assessment, you can only practice blindly based on your feelings. Whether you can succeed depends on your appearance. Your results not only depend on luck, but are also erratic and very unstable.
But overall, the results appear to be good. As the saying goes, one handsome person covers all the ugly ones. After all, formations are difficult to learn. It is already quite good to get the first grade in formations.
Yan Jiaoxi said a few words and left temporarily. The disciples in the room looked at each other’s results and whispered.
“Mo Hua, your formation got “A” again!” A disciple secretly glanced at Mo Hua’s report card, and then sighed.
“It’s A again…”
“I have always been B…”
“I’m still C.”
“It’s so difficult to learn the formation. I get a headache when I see the formation…”
“……”
The disciples gathered around Mo Hua.
“Hmph!” A disciple of the Qian family wearing a silver-white Taoist robe was dissatisfied and snorted coldly and said:
“Then what did you get?” A disciple asked in dissatisfaction.
“Why should I tell you?” The Qian family disciple said disdainfully.
Another disciple secretly glanced at his report card, then laughed and said, “He got a C!”
The disciples were stunned for a moment and burst into laughter.
“You got a C, but you still laugh at someone else who got an A. How shameless!”
“Thicker than a refining furnace!”
“You are still a disciple of the Qian family. You are so stupid. You are not as good as me. I even got a “B”.”
The disciples of the Qian family were so angry that they said, “So what about Grade A? Rogue cultivators without formation masters, do you understand?”
He pointed at them and painted them with ink, “You group of casual cultivators, frogs in the well, have no inheritance. In your whole life, listen carefully, you will never be able to produce an formation master. Bah, you are still in the first class! Remember, among casual cultivators, you will never be able to produce an formation master.” It’s impossible to create a real formation master! If you don’t understand, I can say it again.”
“Rogue cultivators are never worthy of being formation masters!”
The surrounding disciples remained silent.
Mo Hua looked at him as if he were a fool, then stood up, bowed behind the disciple of the Qian family, and said, “Good practice, strict teaching!”
The Qian family disciple turned his head stiffly as if struck by lightning, and sure enough he found Yan Jiaoxi standing behind him, his face ashen.
“The sect is for preaching and practicing Taoism, not for you to compare with and slander fellow sects!”
“My knowledge of formations is so terrible that I still have the nerve to laugh at my fellow disciples?”
“Now go and stand outside until dark.”
“Draw the basic Five Elements pattern a hundred times and show it to me when you enroll in school next year. If you can’t draw it, you won’t use it…”
The disciples of the Qian family were ashen-faced, but they did not dare to refute even a word.
Yan Jiaoxi has a high status and can train even direct disciples of the Qian family, let alone a branch of his family with a lower bloodline.
The Qian disciples stood dejectedly.
Yan Jiaoxi stood in front of Mo Hua, silent for a moment, reached out and patted Mo Hua’s thin shoulder, sighed and said, “Don’t care what others say, study hard.”
Mo Hua looked as normal and bowed respectfully to Yan Jiaoxi, “Disciple, please remember this.”
Yan Jiaoxi nodded, then walked to the teacher’s seat, gave a few instructions to the disciples, and then announced that the sect was on annual leave and could go home.
The disciples suppressed their excitement, saluted to their teacher, thanked him for his teachings in practice over the past year, and then dispersed with a loud crash like birds and beasts.
The sect is retired for the year, and the disciples are rejoicing.
Mo Hua looked at it but felt complicated.
Most of these disciples in the Qi refining period are still young and carefree, and are far from knowing the hardships of the monastic life.
Thinking of the scars all over his father’s body after hunting monsters and his mother’s haggard face, Mo Hua felt sour and couldn’t help but sigh.
Becoming a first-grade formation master is still far away, but within the scope of his ability, he wants to make his parents live a better life.
Mo Hua put away his transcripts and carried twelve spiritual stones in his arms. He did not go home after leaving Tongxian Sect, but walked to Fangshi.
Regarding the setting of the protagonist’s time travel:
Awakening memory, non-traditional soul penetration, the body is his own, and he is also related to his parents by blood.
The protagonist is a ten-year-old child in the monastic world, but he has some modern thinking and cognition.
