Chapter 817
After explaining the Trial Hall and the Proof Hall, Xiao Bei's mechanical voice continued to echo in the quiet room: "After new disciples have been tempered by senior disciples in the Proof Hall, their rough edges will gradually be smoothed, and then they will become disciples of the master. Then you will have the qualification to step into the true sacred place of my Xuanqing Palace's inheritance - the Daozang Hall."
"At that time, you, Master, will be able to use your master's accumulated merit points to select a celestial-level Qi refining method that suits your own attributes in the Daoist Scripture Hall, as well as divine and demonic body refining techniques, secret arts, and various forbidden arts. Many rare inheritances can be explored."
"Merit points?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes full of doubt, and looked directly at Xiao Bei, clearly confused by this unfamiliar concept.
Seeing this, Xiao Bei explained in an orderly manner: "My Xuanqing Palace attaches great importance to the relationship between master and disciple. The reason for this is twofold: firstly, the master imparts his knowledge of Taoist techniques; secondly, the body-refining methods, qi-refining methods, and supernatural secret techniques required by newly accepted disciples in the early stages all require the master to consume merit points accumulated in the past."
Xiao Bei paused for a moment, then continued, "These merit points are accumulated by the master as he gradually grows stronger and meets many stringent conditions when he is a disciple."
"For example, if a disciple successfully reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm using the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, the number one divine and demonic body refining method in the Three Thousand Realms, he can gain one thousand merit points."
"For example, if a disciple reaches the Dao Domain Realm, or multiple Dao Domain Realms, or even fully masters a complete Dao, or if a disciple awakens their divine consciousness and joins the God-Slaying Guard and Immortal-Slaying Hall after leaving the mountain, they will be given different amounts of merit points depending on the circumstances."
Xiao Bei narrated calmly, and as Chen Xuan listened, a smile gradually appeared on his lips.
He had been worried about having to spend the merit points accumulated by his future master to obtain the Dharma inheritance he desired after becoming an apprentice. Now, upon hearing about how to obtain merit points, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from this, once I become an apprentice, based on my past achievements, I will basically not need to use my master's merit points to exchange for the necessary methods to cultivate diligently. This is undoubtedly exciting news.
"Our sect has set these rules to remind new disciples that if they are exceptionally talented, they can reap even more precious inheritances by working hard. Our Xuanqing Palace has only a thousand formal disciples in total, yet we stand out in the entire Qingtian County and are ranked as the number one sect. This is the path we take to cultivate elite disciples."
"Such an incentive method is truly unprecedented." Chen Xuan nodded slightly and sincerely praised, "No wonder the outside world says that every disciple of Xuanqing Palace has extraordinary strength. Any one of them can win against a smaller force and fight against opponents of higher ranks. This system has played an indispensable role in this."
Xiao Bei nodded slightly and then said, "We have already talked about the Trial Hall, the Proof Hall, and the Daoist Treasury Hall. There is still one Hall for Discussion that we have not yet mentioned."
Chen Xuan looked up at Xiao Bei and nodded gently, signaling him to continue.
"The Hall of Discussions is usually where the sect's Nascent Soul Daoists preach, and where disciples go to listen to their teachings and get answers to their questions. Occasionally, during specific times, the spirit beast servants of formal disciples may also have the opportunity to enter and listen to the teachings."
"However, if an immortal ancestor comes out of seclusion to preach, only formal disciples of the sect are qualified to enter, listen to the immortal sounds, and comprehend the Great Dao."
Chen Xuan nodded again, now having a general understanding of the functions of the four main halls.
The Trial Hall gathers various magical techniques passed down by contemporary disciples, as well as by ancient immortal ancestors. It is like a huge treasure trove, where new disciples can freely choose to cultivate.
After cultivating for a period of time, they will be invited to the Hall of Proving the Dao to engage in discussions and exchanges. The purpose of these exchanges is to allow the Nascent Soul Daoists from various sects to observe and thus accurately assess whether the disciples are compatible with them and whether they are worthy of being taken under their wing and carefully taught.
Besides serving as a reminder to new disciples and tempering their arrogance, Chen Xuan secretly pondered that the Hall of Proving the Dao must also be an important place for fellow disciples to hone their skills and exchange ideas. It must be a bustling place on weekdays, one of the most popular places in the sect.
