Chapter 65 Successfully Joined
The next day, they arrived at Mo Liu Study in Lingyun City.
After the two parties met, they exchanged polite greetings and flattery, and after creating a good atmosphere, Chu Lu and the others went straight to the topic.
"Master, please check the quality of this copybook." Chu Lu took out his copybook and said.
"Okay, okay, let me take a look." Master Zhang stroked his long beard and took a closer look. His face suddenly changed slightly, with a look of surprise, "Which master's work is this? The brushwork is strong and powerful, and the structure is The style is majestic, vigorous and unrestrained, it’s incredible, it’s incredible!”
Tie Zhanxiong on the side was suddenly shocked: What? Wait a minute, I didn’t secretly tell him to say nice things. So is this true? Chu Lu really has good handwriting?
“How does this calligraphy rank among Lingyun City’s surroundings?” Chu Lu asked again.
"First! No doubt first." Master Zhang said resolutely: "Although Wen is not second, the gap is so huge that no one dares to be unconvinced!"
Tie Zhanxiong was even more shocked. This was too exaggerated.
"Master Zhang, Master Chu is an honest man and likes to hear the truth..." Tie Zhanxiong couldn't help but say.
Master Zhang immediately frowned and said, "What I'm telling you is the truth, this calligraphy is at this level!"
Then he looked at Chu Lu and said, "May I ask who wrote this copybook. Can you recommend me?"
"That's unnecessary." Chu Lu was not in the mood to waste time here. Now that he had gotten the answer, it was almost time to leave. "I have other urgent matters, so I'll leave first."
"Hey, um, this...this copybook." Master Zhang was startled, and then looked reluctant to part with it.
"I'll give it to you, just think of it as a meeting gift."
"Ah! Thank you so much..."
After leaving Mo Liu Study, Chu Lu went to inquire about the process of recruiting disciples of Lingxiao Sword Sect.
This matter had already caused quite a stir in Lingyun City, so it was easy to figure it out.
The people of Lingxiao Sword Sect are currently living in the mansion prepared for them by the Ouyang family. Those who are interested in participating in the assessment can submit their works directly.
After the initial screening, if you are satisfied, you will call the person over and write it again in person.
If you can pass the second time, you can join the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
In the past few days, copybook works have been pouring into the mansion like snowflakes, but no qualified person has appeared yet.
Chu Lu rested in an inn, then bought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write a piece of paper, handed it in, and quietly waited for the result.
In the inn, Tie Zhanxiong was a little worried.
He originally thought that this time was just a formality and that Chu Lu would not have hope, but he did not expect that the reality was just the opposite. He seemed to be very hopeful.
Therefore, he had to ask a very important question: "Sir, if you pass the test and join the Lingxiao Sword Sect, then our Qingfeng Town..."
"You can act on your own while I'm away." Chu Lu said with a strange look on his face: "If I come back, you guys will obey my orders. Is there anything to be confused about?"
Chu Lu couldn't understand what he was worried about. I can easily kill them at the early stage of foundation building. If you join the Lingxiao Sword Sect and your strength and cultivation level rise, wouldn't it be easier to deal with them? Do they still want to fall out?
"No, the problem is that we have three companies, so who should take the lead..."
"This, let the person with the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength do it." Chu Lu said casually.
"Okay, my subordinates know." Tie Zhanxiong breathed a sigh of relief.
Isn't he the person with the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength in Qingfeng Town?
Tie Zhanxiong was originally worried that Chu Lu might like the other two people more than him, so he asked this question, but now it seems that he was overly worried.
Two days passed. During these two days, Chu Lu Xunsi rarely came to the city, so instead of practicing hard, he wandered around. Go to the gambling house to hang out, then go to the flower shop to hang out, and then go to the restaurant to hang out, which is a rare break.
On the third day, someone came to the door.
It was a young man with a proud expression, wearing a light blue suit. There are sword patterns embroidered with silver silk thread on the clothes, and there are narrow white piping on the collar and cuffs.
"Are you Chu Lu?" The young man looked Chu Lu up and down and said.
"It's you, your Excellency?"
"Gu Xuanying, an inner disciple of Lingxiao Sword Sect." Gu Xuanying said calmly: "Your copybook has passed the initial test. Now come with me for the final assessment."
Upon hearing this, Chu Lu looked calm and just nodded and said hello.
But Tie Zhanxiong looked nervous and excited. It was one thing to know that it was possible to pass, but it was another thing to see it with his own eyes.
"Sir, I..." Tie Zhanxiong couldn't help but want to speak.
Gu Xuanying glanced at him and said, "You can't bring an entourage."
"I know. Just stay here." Chu Lu said.
"yes……"
Soon Chu Lu was led to the mansion and met the person who was actually responsible for recruiting disciples.
There were two middle-aged men there, wearing similar clothes to Gu Xuanying, but more refined and with more patterns on their clothes.
One of these two people was named Sun Bixian and the other was named Gu Fuyu. Both of them are disciples of Lingxiao Sword Sect’s Sword Forging Peak.
"The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all ready. You write another copybook in front of us. If it is as good as the one you handed in, you will pass." Sun Bixian said.
Chu Lu nodded, and immediately wrote another copybook after a lot of dancing.
Sun Bixian and Gu Fuyu stood in front of the copybook and looked at it carefully, then whispered to each other, with smiles on their faces.
"Not bad, not bad, really good."
"It seems he did write it."
"It's interesting."
After they finished communicating, they looked at Chu Lu again.
Sun Bixian asked: "Are you Chu Lu? Which wealthy family are you a disciple of? I don't remember that there is a wealthy family named Chu nearby."
"I am from a poor family, not from a wealthy family."
"Then how did you practice calligraphy?"
"Because I like it, I practice in private from time to time."
"Ha. Genius, right?" Sun Bixian raised his eyebrows as if he didn't believe it, but hesitantly said: "But there is really no trace of imitating famous people. It really seems like it was done behind closed doors..."
At this time, Gu Fuyu said: "I see that you also have some cultivation. If you were born in poverty, how did you embark on the path of cultivation? Tell me your past experience in detail."
Chu Lu didn't hide anything, he told him everything about how he wanted to do business honestly, but was forced to have no choice but to kill and kill all the way to reach his current position.
The two of them probably met each other before, and after hearing Chu Lu's experience, they just sighed that it was a lot of hardships.
"He's not lying. It's true." Gu Fuyu said.
"Well. Then let's accept him." Sun Bixian said.
Hearing this, Chu Lu felt relieved. But I didn't expect that the two people opposite looked happier than Chu Lu.
"You can go back to the sect now."
"I didn't expect it to be done so quickly. This place is a bit out of the way, but it has quite a lot of people."
"Um..." Seeing this, Chu Lu paused and asked, "Two... seniors? Can I ask a question?"
"Huh? What? You tell me." Sun Bixian said.
"I heard that Lingxiao Sword Sect is a top sect that specializes in swordsmanship. Why did you come to our Lingyun City today? And why do you want to recruit people who are good at calligraphy?" Chu Lu asked.
"Ha. I'm not surprised that you are confused." Sun Bixian smiled and said, "Actually, the reason is very simple. Our Lingxiao Sword Sect is good at using swords, but we are also good at forging swords. You should know this, right?"
Chu Lu nodded.
"And during the forging process, there is also a process of drawing spiritual patterns, did you know?"
Chu Lu shook his head.
"To put it simply, it is to carve runes on the sword to give the spirit sword various abilities. Only after the spirit patterns are carved can the sword be regarded as a magical weapon. Otherwise, it will be just an embryo no matter how hard it is cut." Sun Bixian said: "And in the process of drawing spiritual patterns, the control of mana is exactly the same as the turning point of calligraphy. There are some problems in our sect. Nowadays, Forging Sword Peak is in urgent need of spiritual pattern masters, so we are looking for suitable talents everywhere. "
"That's it." Chu Lu understood now.
In his mind, he estimated that the relationship between spiritual tattooists and calligraphers was similar to that between go-karts and F1 racing drivers.
"Then I have one last question."
"Ah? The little guy has a lot of questions." Sun Bixian frowned, seeming a little impatient, but still said: "Then ask the last one."
"Then what..." Chu Lu paused and said, "There should be...never happened in our sect that high-level monks were forced to apologize to low-level monks, right?"
This is a rather weird question, and the reason why Chu Lu asked this question was largely due to the fact that he happened to get calligraphy when he opened a random skill pack a few days ago.
Because this was such a coincidence, Chu Lu felt a sense of being arranged, which further forced him to think about a question he had been avoiding before, that is - could he himself be a character in the novel?
After all, everyone in the chat group except him is the protagonist of the novel, so why should he be an exception?
Even further, everyone is a female protagonist in the novel, so why is he the male protagonist?
Of course, his current experience does not look like that of a female channel.
My own way of thinking is also incompatible with that group of teases.
But what if it’s because the plot related to him hasn’t started yet?
What if it’s still about character background?
You must know that in many female-channeled novels, many of the characters’ backgrounds are quite normal.
Many people who practice the ruthless way are really practicing the ruthless way conscientiously before taking part in the plot.
Because he was too worried, Chu Lu couldn't help but ask.
As soon as this question came up, the expressions of the two middle-aged men became extremely strange.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Fuyu couldn't help but said: "There is a world of difference in status if there is a big difference. Have you ever seen the emperor kowtow to the common people? Even if a high-level monk really wants to apologize, that low-level monk Does he dare to accept it as a monk?"
"Yes, why did you think of asking this?" Sun Bixian also frowned and said.
"I heard."
"Who are you listening to?! Tell me your name. I want to settle the score with him!" Gu Fuyu said with a bad temper: "How dare you slander our Lingxiao Sword Sect, you are looking for death!"
"It's just rumors in the streets and alleys. The source probably can't be found." Chu Lu replied, feeling relieved in his heart.
——Well, at least there is no evidence that this is the world of female videos. But considering that the coincidence came from the chat room itself... is it possible that I am the protagonist of a male pornographic novel that mainly focuses on time traveling to a female pornographic novel and pretending to be a slap in the face?
——Fuck, my head is a little dizzy.
"Hmph, there are always such boring people." Gu Fuyu said: "Now that we have passed the test, it is time for us to return to Lingxiao Sword Sect. If there is anyone you need to say goodbye to, go there now. We will do it this afternoon. It’s time to leave.”
"yes."
Chu Lu had no father or mother, so he had nothing to say goodbye to. He went back to the inn and told Tie Zhanxiong, then came back and followed them out of Lingyun City.
Lingyun City was quite far away from Lingxiao Sword Sect, but these two people were both Nascent Soul cultivators, and they also brought flying boats, so they arrived at their destination in less than half a month.
After getting off the flying boat, Chu Lu looked at the mountain gate of Lingxiao Sword Sect in front of him, and immediately recalled the feeling of seeing Wenjian Sect for the first time.
This is really big.
Afterwards, they took Chu Lu to Lingji Hall to complete the entry procedures and get the disciple badge.
Then take Chu Lu to the Forging Sword Peak Immortal Lodge to report.
The so-called Xianliao is actually the disciple dormitory. Chu Lu went to the Xianliao deacon to report, got the key, and confirmed the location of his room - Room No. 8 with yellow characters.
Then he was thrown to an old spirit pattern master named Sun Tunan.
The teaching method of Lingxiao Sword Sect is still the most traditional one of leading disciples. There are still several disciples under Sun Tunan who are immersed in carving spiritual patterns.
Sun Tunan taught his disciples very perfunctorily and didn't take it seriously at all, but Chu Lu quickly mastered several basic spiritual patterns and quickly became familiar with the life in the mountain gate.
The status of a spirit pattern master is obviously very important, so the treatment Chu Lu receives here is also very good.
Every month you can get five bottles of elixirs for practice.
Chu Lu carved spirit patterns during the day and practiced at night. In less than twenty days, he broke through to the middle stage of foundation building.
The efficiency was so fast that it made him uneasy.
"Although the cultivation progress is very fast, this is still not a place to stay for a long time." In his room, Chu Lu whispered to himself.
He was still worried about the fact that the skill pack happened to include calligraphy, and he always felt that there would be something waiting for him here.
But if he really wants to leave, that won't work.
After finally getting in, how could there be any reason to leave again?
What's more, strength is always the most important. How could he be so fast after leaving Lingxiao Sword Sect to practice alone?
So he planned to practice here for a period of time to complete the initial accumulation and gain the ability to protect himself, so that he could travel around.
"Speaking of which, the cooling time of the Boundary Breaking Talisman is coming soon, right?" Chu Lu suddenly remembered this.
Chat group tasks are also a good source of income. Although the rules of rewards have not yet been figured out. After all, the first time is to turn on the transcoding function, and the second time is a random skill pack, but at least it can be seen that they are quite useful things. .
Chu Lu opened the chat group and wanted to ask who needed help, but found that the chat was lively, and there was a new face named Yi Xiaowan among them.
Chu Lu was stunned and scrolled all the way up, only to see a message about two hours ago.
[Chat group prompt: Yi Xiaowan joins the chat group. 】
