Chapter 578 True Transmission Academy
Although the life of being the king of the mountain is comfortable, it has lost its appeal to the Iron Arm Monkey. He has long been accustomed to the life of following his master. Although the Iron Arm Monkey is not very intelligent, he is also very clear that if there is no Qingyang, he may have died of old age and would never be able to break through to the current realm. Only by following the master can he have a future.
Previously, the one-eyed dragon Leng Yu and the soul-catching Sang Fan broke into the cave and killed many demon monkeys. Even the newly born monkey king died, which greatly reduced the strength of the entire demon monkey group. After all, this was caused by Qingyang. It seems inappropriate to just walk away, so Qingyang took out some of the Qi-gathering Pills that he could not use and distributed them to the demon monkeys. How they will be in the future depends on their own luck.
As for taking the entire demon monkey group away, Qingyang did consider it before, but now he doesn't think so anymore. There are too many demon monkeys and he can't afford to support them. If you don't reach that level of cultivation, you don't know how difficult it is to improve your cultivation. Qingyang can't even take care of himself, so how can he have extra energy and resources to take care of such a large group of demon monkeys?
It is enough to have this iron-armed spirit monkey and a group of alcoholic bees. After all, alcoholic bees are small in size and require fewer resources, so it is not a big deal to raise more. Moreover, they rely on themselves to forage for food most of the time, so not only do they not need to pay for it, but they can even benefit from their mouths.
After taking the iron-armed spirit monkey out of the demon monkey cave, he recalled the alcoholic bees and sent them all into the Drunken Immortal Gourd. Then Qingyang drove the Qingmu Sword and flew towards the Qingfeng Palace.
After walking and stopping along the way, Qingyang finally returned to Qingfeng Palace ten days later. When he left, he was only a Qi Refining Perfection, but when he came back, he was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Seeing the mountain gate from afar, Qingyang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He was finally no longer a low-level disciple, but a master uncle. His status and position have risen greatly. No one should dare to take advantage of him anymore, right?
It is still necessary to check the identity token when entering and leaving the Immortal Gate, and the ones who usually guard the Immortal Gate are generally late Qi Refining disciples. Seeing Qingyang, who has the foundation building cultivation, the disciples guarding the Immortal Gate are much more respectful than usual, and they keep calling him Master Uncle.
Seeing that Qingyang's identity token still recorded his identity as an inner courtyard disciple, it was obvious that he had become a foundation-building cultivator recently, so he was envious and jealous. Even though Qingyang had been cultivating immortals for many years, his mood had long been trained to be calm, but seeing their expressions, he still couldn't help but feel a little happy.
After returning to the inner courtyard, Qingyang first went to meet his two friends in the inner courtyard. Lu Dingshan and Chen Biwang knew that Qingyang had been busy with foundation-building matters recently, but they didn't expect that he would become a foundation-building cultivator so quickly. They were envious, but they were more happy for their friends.
Lu Dingshan and Chen Biwang knew that one of Qingyang's foundation-building pills had been taken away by the Qin family, and the only one left should not be enough to support Qingyang's breakthrough. After hesitating for a long time, he still told the two that he could refine the foundation-building pill, and told them to accumulate more materials or spirit stones while practicing. If they couldn't get the foundation-building pill at that time, Qingyang could help refine it, which gave them a way to get the foundation-building pill besides the inner courtyard competition.
Qingyang still had two foundation-building pills left, but he didn't tell the two of them about it. Some things would not benefit them if they were told now, but would affect the relationship between friends. It's okay to help friends with small favors, but it's not the right way to do things if you always give without asking for anything in return.
After saying goodbye to the two friends, Qingyang returned to his yard to clean up, and then went to the inner courtyard hall to report. Uncle Du was still in charge of the management of the inner courtyard disciples. It was he who helped Qingyang with the inner courtyard procedures more than ten years ago. He didn't expect Qingyang to become a foundation-building cultivator so quickly.
He knew Qingyang's situation very well. He was only in his early forties, and he could become a foundation-building cultivator at this age, which was no worse than those with heavenly spiritual roots. Thinking about myself, I'm over a hundred years old and still stuck in the early stage of foundation-building. It's really annoying to compare myself with others.
After reporting to the inner courtyard and settling the welfare benefits of the inner courtyard, Qingyang went to the place in the sect that was responsible for foundation-building cultivators to handle the procedures according to the direction indicated by Uncle Du.
In the Qingfeng Palace, the management of foundation-building monks is completely different and relatively loose. They do not provide accommodation, do not restrict their movements, come and go freely, and do not need to report when doing things.
In addition, when in the miscellaneous courtyard, outer courtyard, and inner courtyard, the sect will more or less have certain requirements for the age of the disciples. If they have not broken through by a certain age, or their potential is not great, the sect will no longer provide resources, and most disciples have to make a living on their own.
However, there is no such requirement for foundation-building disciples, because the foundation-building period is almost the backbone of the entire cultivation world. Their abilities and strengths are strong to a certain extent. No matter where they go, they are guests of honor. Naturally, the sect is reluctant to let them go. Moreover, a disciple has been in the sect for at least a hundred years from Qi Refining to Foundation Building. He has a certain feeling and sense of belonging to the sect and is a firm supporter of the sect. Wouldn’t it be a pity to let them go?
Although the sect also set up a True Transmission Institute for disciples below the late foundation building stage, the management of the True Transmission Institute is actually very loose. It only arranges a few late foundation building cultivators to be responsible for identity registration, welfare benefits and personnel arrangements, and there are no restrictions on other aspects.
As for the late foundation building cultivators and golden elixir cultivators in the sect, they are even freer. The sect has almost no restrictions on them, and there is actually no way to restrict them. Even their welfare benefits do not need to worry about collecting them. There is a special department under the name of the deputy head of Qingfeng Hall, and they will take the initiative to deliver things to their door at a certain time.
Fortunately, there are relatively few late-stage foundation-building cultivators and golden elixir cultivators in Qingfeng Hall, and the total number does not exceed a hundred. It is not too troublesome to send them once every few years.
The person who registered Qingyang's identity was Qingping Sanren, who had a cultivation level of the seventh level of foundation-building and was over a hundred years old. After the new identity token was made, Qingping Sanren handed the token to Qingyang and said with a smile: "Junior brother Qingyang is so young, I really envy you."
Qingyang was a little flattered to be called a junior brother by a late-stage foundation-building cultivator who was over a hundred years old, but the rules were set like this, and he had to get used to it sooner or later. Qingyang hurriedly said modestly: "Senior brother, you are too kind, but the cultivation level accumulated by elixirs will be hard to say after the foundation-building period."
Those who were able to cultivate all the way to the late stage of foundation-building were all amazing talents at the beginning. Qingping Sanren's age when he broke through the foundation-building period would not be much different from Qingyang, but after the foundation-building period, it was too difficult to improve the cultivation level, and the price of elixirs was too high, so he just entered the late stage of foundation-building at the age of over a hundred years old.
