CH 11

"Only one sage... is a small Tai Chi... universally receives the calamity of the family... and is crowned with infinite praise... bestows blessings to relieve difficulties, universally saves life and death, crowned with the way of all heavens, compassionates the three realms, great compassion, great vow, great saint, great mercy..."

The chanting voice with ups and downs echoed in the spacious cave, and all six disciples of Qingfeng Temple, including Li Huowang, sat on cushions, following their master for morning class.

There were no scriptures in front of everyone, and Li Huowang could only vaguely follow the senior brothers' recitation.

While chanting, Li Huowang raised his head and focused his gaze on Danyang Zi, who was sitting in the front. The hostility in his eyes just surfaced, but he quickly suppressed it.

He hated this disgusting guy so much that he wanted to eat his flesh and peel off his skin, but Li Huowang knew that he was too weak now and not his opponent at all.

The opponent was powerful, and he couldn't be reckless. His main goal now was to endure and find opportunities in secret.

This might be difficult and he might even be found out by Danyang Zi and die a miserable death, but Li Huowang didn't care about anything now.

When he saw Danyang Zi slightly turn his body, Li Huowang's gaze quickly moved up, crossing the three pillars of incense, looking at the three statues placed in the hollow rock wall.

The three immortals with different appearances were wearing yellow Taoist robes and holding floating dust. Their eyes were neither sad nor happy, staring at the small mortals below.

They didn't have any immortal style or aura, but looked ordinary, except for the Taoist robes that looked like three oversized ordinary people.

Li Huowang didn't know who these three statues were, but he deeply remembered their appearances in his mind.

At this time, the chanting voice began to slow down, and after the last small section of scripture was recited, the boy next to him heavily beat the red drum three times, and morning class ended.

All the disciples stood up with Danyang Zi, and at the same time, they pinched their left thumb with their right hand, and placed the four fingers of their left hand on top of the fingers of their right hand, raising both hands above their heads to bow to the statues.

After the ritual was completed, Danyang Zi turned around slowly and looked at his disciples behind him.

When he saw Li Huowang, who was wearing a Taoist robe, standing calmly at the end of the crowd, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Xuan Yuan, Xuan Yang just joined our sect and must have many things he doesn't understand. As a senior brother, teach him."

"Yes, Master." A middle-aged man with a round face and a slightly chubby expression bowed to Danyang Zi.

"Okay, it's past the hour of the rabbit, there's nothing to do, go have your meals." After Danyang Zi finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the cave entrance.

A young man with a gloomy expression wearing a Hunyuan hat followed him out.

"That's Zheng Kun senior brother. Since senior brothers Zheng Kan and Zheng Zhen defected, he is the only inner disciple of the master. If you meet him in the temple in the future, remember to be respectful. He's not as easy-going as the master."

Xuan Yuan walked to Li Huowang's side and explained the man's background to him.

Li Huowang nodded. "Thank you, Xuan Yuan senior brother, does he also have the same magical powers as the master?"

He didn't know about anything else, but Li Huowang knew that Danyang Zi had the ability to control objects with one hand, and had amazing strength, able to lift several hundred pounds of stone jars.These are not the most taboo things. What Li Huowang fears the most is that anything that happens in the dissolution cave will be known, whether it is someone saying he is a fart or that he did not agree to escape together before.

If they really want to deal with him, this point must be clarified.

"He is an inner disciple, and what he learned from his master, I don't know." Li Huowang sensed the jealousy in the other party's words.

"One person's power is too weak. Should I find other allies in Qingfeng View?" A thought arose in Li Huowang's mind, but it was quickly extinguished.

Those who have rebellious thoughts have probably been eaten by Black Tai Sui in the last time. Even if they are not wholeheartedly loyal to Danyang Zi, they are probably timid and cowardly.

"Let's go, let's talk while walking." Xuan Yuan said, turning around and leading Li Huowang towards the kitchen. "I know what you're thinking. Don't think about Master's ascension technique. It will be passed down in order. You are the last one."

"As for you, just focus on your work. Whatever Master orders you to do, just do it. When it's time for seniority, it will naturally be your turn."

By now, they had arrived at the dissolution cave where they ate. The other senior brothers who arrived early had already started drinking porridge.

He recognized three of them. The two Taoists with long swords were Changming and Changren, and there was also Xuan Yin, whom he had met before. In addition to Xuan Yuan and himself, all five named disciples of Qingfeng View were now gathered here.

"The rules of Qingfeng View are to not speak while eating or sleeping. I will teach you other things after we finish eating." Xuan Yuan sat down and drank porridge with the others.

Li Huowang sat down, picked up the black pottery bowl, took a sip, and silently observed the behavior of the other senior brothers.

These people had different appearances, and none of them were too eye-catching or too ugly. But when they sat together in Taoist robes, Li Huowang felt that something was off.

When he saw Xuan Yin holding one side of his nose and forcefully blowing his nose onto the ground, and the other two senior brothers frowning, Li Huowang finally realized that their temperaments were different.

Some of them had more scholarly qualities, while others had thicker joints and looked like they did more physical labor.

"Where did Danyang Zi find these five disciples? Could it be that they were also brought up from medicinal ingredients like me?"

After everyone finished eating, the other senior brothers didn't even glance at the new Xuan Yang junior brother and walked out the door.

After finishing eating, Xuan Yuan continued to introduce Li Huowang to the different positions within Qingfeng View. He learned that the five named disciples were responsible for different positions in the Taoist temple.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

Some were responsible for managing the Taoist disciples, some were responsible for purchasing goods for the temple, and some were responsible for raising Black Tai Sui. Even the more experienced senior brothers had to take on multiple roles.

Originally, they weren't so busy, but unfortunately, after a group of people died before, their responsibilities had to be divided among the remaining disciples.

Li Huowang's responsibility was naturally needless to say. He was responsible for everything in the material room, and everything these disciples did was to assist their master in ascending to immortality.

After wandering around all day, Li Huowang finally gained a detailed understanding of the entire Taoist temple from Xuan Yuan.Li Huowang kept these things firmly in his heart. This was no longer an illusion that he could leave at any time. Whether he could kill Danyang Zi or not, this information might come in handy.

After spending a day together, Xuan Yuan's relationship with Li Huowang had become slightly more relaxed. The two were walking back from the Zhenyi Hall.

"Xuan Yang Junior Brother, there's really no need to be so nervous. Your work won't be that busy, and Master doesn't refine pills every day."

"Oh? Please enlighten me, Xuan Yuan Senior Brother."

"Refining pills is closely related to the celestial time. Some pill medicines must be taken at specific times to achieve their maximum effects. For example, today and tomorrow are not suitable for refining pills, but the midnight of the day after tomorrow is an excellent time."
