After he followed the Demon Soul Ancestor into his study, he seemed a little restrained.

Seeing this, the Demon Soul Ancestor smiled slightly, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Chen'er, sit down!"

Jiang Chen hurried over and sat down.

At this time, the voice of the Demon Soul Ancestor came from his ears: "Chen'er, I should have told you after you became a potential disciple, but you had not succeeded in building the foundation at that time. I was worried that after telling you, it would affect your mood and lead to your failure in building the foundation. So I have to discuss with you now..."

Jiang Chen immediately showed a listening look. The Demon Soul Ancestor said so seriously that he must have a great relationship with him.

"The inner disciples of my Tianmo Sect can be said to be the backbone of the sect. Among the inner disciples, more than 90% are foundation-building cultivators, and have a small number of Qi Refining disciples with excellent talent and talent. The sect also attaches great importance to the growth of inner disciples!"

The Demon Soul Ancestor picked up the teacup on the table, drank it lightly and said, "I believe you also know that a large sect needs talents from all aspects. It does not mean that if you have good spiritual roots and practice fast, you will make great contributions to the sect. Some late-stage foundation-building disciples who only know how to focus on their cultivation and want to pursue immortality may not be stronger than those of their mid-stage foundation-building disciples. Moreover, these disciples have very low levels of treatment and handling sect affairs..."

Speaking of this, he smiled faintly and said, "Your senior brother Yu Hao is such a person. In his eyes, he only practices, but also practices. Although his cultivation is the highest among my disciples and he is about to form a pill, he was ruled out early on as the next peak master."

After hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded. He naturally knew that being the Lord of the Peak was not only good at practicing high cultivation. He had to deal with various complex affairs, deal with challenges from other peaks, deal with the sect leader and elders, appease internal disputes, and also have to make clear rewards and punishments. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

"So, like those inner disciples who are devoted to their cultivation, they call them ascetics within the sect. They can ignore the affairs of the sect and cannot control them. But when the war occurs, or when the sect has a task, go out to deal with the battle and carry out the tasks!"

The Demon Soul Ancestor stared at Jiang Chen's eyes and said, "This development path is suitable for those who are sniffing and only wanting to practice. Of course, it is not limited to combat. For those disciples with specialties in alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, formations, etc., it is also applicable. For your senior brother Yu Hao, my Demon Soul Peak alchemist Liu Cheng and Tang Yuan, all chose the development path."

"The advantage of choosing this path is that you can concentrate on practicing, which is conducive to improving your own cultivation or skills. But the disadvantage is that you are completely separated from the management of the sect. Even if you reach the Golden Elixir stage, you cannot become an elder of the sect, but can only be called a guardian. It is more suitable for disciples who have no management." The Demon Soul Ancestor looked at Jiang Chen and said meaningfully.

After hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed. He wanted to become the leader of the sect, so he naturally would not be a monk. For him, alchemy was just a means to increase his fame and speed up his cultivation speed. He did not want to be nailed to the path of alchemy.

So, after hesitating for a moment, he asked carefully: "What about another way?"

"The other way is naturally to enter the deacon hall like your third senior brother Liu Qingchuan and the fourth senior brother Xiao Jincheng, and enter the deacon disciple." The Demon Soul Ancestor said slowly: "Please choose this path. You are naturally not as good as the immortal cultivator in terms of cultivation. This is because they have to help the peak master handle the affairs of many sects..."

"However, there are disadvantages and advantages. For these disciples who help sects deal with miscellaneous matters, sects will naturally not ignore their interests!"

The Demon Soul Ancestor smiled and said, "First of all, the subsidies for deacon disciples are much higher. Deacon disciples like you who are in the Foundation Establishment Period can receive a subsidy of two hundred spirit stones per month; but if they are a monk, they only have one hundred spirit stones."

"Also, most deacon disciples have certain rights to deal with them, such as the distribution of spiritual fields in the peak, the arrangement of errands, and the assessment of registered disciples; when they are stationed outside, deacon disciples often serve as team leader and are responsible for command and dispatch."

"If the deacon disciples show excellent management skills and high command and combat level when handling sect affairs or fighting abroad, they will also be listed as the targets of the sect's key training. After they form a pill, they are very likely to become the masters of each peak, the deputy peak, or the elders of the sect, and have great power... This is also very glorious!" The Demon Soul Ancestor glanced at Jiang Chen and saw that he was in a sensation, and said lightly: "Chen'er, how are you thinking about it? Which path do you want to choose?"

Jiang Chen came to his senses at this time, hurriedly bowed to the Demon Soul Ancestor, and said loudly: "I have thought about it, let's take the path of the deacon disciple! I am more active and can't calm down. If I really want me to keep practicing, I will really suffocate myself to death!"

"Well! I guess you are a restless person!" The Demon Soul Ancestor was obviously not surprised by Jiang Chen's choice.

At this time, his sleeves robe blew, and a white light shot out from his sleeves. Jiang Chen quickly reached out to catch it, and saw a white jade pendant with the word "soul" written on the front, and the word "Zhen" behind it.

"This is your new identity Jade Pendant, which states that you are my deacon disciple of the Demon Soul Peak. You can report to the Deacon Hall in a few days. Which part of your work is in charge? Let's discuss with your Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Xiao, and Senior Brother Sima!" The Demon Soul Ancestor said with a smile.

The deacon disciples in the Deacon Hall are actually a fat que. Among the more than 200 Foundation Establishment Disciples on the Deacon Peak, there are only more than ten Deacon disciples in total. Many hopeless Foundation Establishment Disciples want to come in, just to make some advantage from it and to seek some benefits for their immortal cultivation family.

Like Jiang Chen, it is very rare to become a deacon disciple as soon as he built the foundation. If it weren't for his potential disciple of the sect and his personal disciple of the Demon Soul Ancestor, I'm afraid it would be difficult to enter the Deacon Hall in a few decades.

Jiang Chen naturally bowed to thank him quickly, and then he made his request: "Master, can I postpone the reporting of the Deacon Hall? I want to go to Xiangyang Prefecture first and go to the Dan League branch there to participate in the alchemy qualification assessment."

"Oh? Go and participate in the alchemist qualification assessment?" After hearing this, the Demon Soul Ancestor was stunned at first, and then overjoyed. For him, if there was an additional alchemist who had passed the alchemist's assessment in the Demon Soul Peak, it would be a matter of gold on his face.

Although the qualification assessment of this alchemist is not effective in actual alchemy. But it is a symbol of identity after all, just like the difference between a doctor in You Fang and a doctor in a regular hall, people always feel that an alchemist who has been certified by the Alchemist League has a higher level of alchemist.

"Okay! I've approved it for my master! You can leave tomorrow." The Demon Soul Ancestor twisted his beard and said, "Chen'er, if you can also pass the Dan League to become a first-level alchemist, I can help you apply to the sect. Reward you a spiritual herb garden for planting various herbs! The sect will send disciples to plant and maintain them, and the harvested herbs will be completely for you and used for alchemy. Come on!"

Jiang Chen didn't expect that after becoming a certified alchemist in the Dan League, there would be such benefits, and he felt excited.

Then, he asked the Demon Soul Ancestor several questions in his cultivation. The Demon Soul Ancestor patiently answered him.

Seeing that there was nothing to say, Jiang Chen got up and left.

The Demon Soul Ancestor did not try to keep him anymore, but just told him to be careful when he arrived in Xiangyang and not be too arrogant, so as not to cause any death.

After hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded repeatedly. He also knew that although the Heavenly Demon Sect could be the king and dominant in the Han Kingdom, it was nothing in Xiangyang Prefecture. Just from the Shui Family where Shui Yuening was located, there were many Jindan-stage monks who could see that the level of cultivation in Xiangyang Prefecture was much higher than that in the Han Kingdom. How could the Han Kingdom find a family of cultivation with Jindan-stage monks? Even the family of cultivation with Foundation Establishment Cultivators is considered a family of cultivation. Not to mention that the three major families in Xiangyang have all Nascent Soul-stage monks in charge.

After coming out of the residence of the Demon Soul Ancestor, Jiang Chen returned to his cave. He was about to pack up his luggage and set off on the road tomorrow morning.

However, just as he was meditating and regulating his breathing, he suddenly realized that the Yin spirit energy in his cave had dropped by more than half compared to three years ago.

Jiang Chen was extremely shocked now. At the end of the test three years ago, Xu Bo once said that for some reason, the spiritual energy in the mountain was very thin, so even if this cave occupied a mountain, it was not occupied by the Foundation Establishment disciples. However, Jiang Chen was quiet and chose this place as his cave in order to keep the secret of the Demon Order of Heaven.

Not long after that, he went to Qingmu Mountain to stay for three years and did not live in the cave for long. After returning, he took the exam and then built a foundation. He actually lived in the cave for only a few times.

But it is precisely because of this that he is so sensitive to the changes in the spiritual energy in the cave. If he stayed here every day, he might not feel much change.

Although his cultivation level mainly relies on elixirs, the intensity of spiritual energy in the cave is not very effective. It is always inappropriate to practice in a place that is much worse than other disciples' spiritual veins.

It turns out that I am afraid that the Demon Order of Heaven was discovered. But today the Demon Order has been sacrificed and refined into a soul magic weapon, so there is no need to worry. And I have become a potential disciple of the sect and a deacon disciple of the Demon Soul Peak. It is easy to change a place with a dense spiritual energy as a new cave.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but think of moving, so he began to search around the cave, trying to collect all the useful things he had left in the cave, and then go to the Deacon Hall to change to a new cave.

However, just as he walked to the cultivation room he had opened, he was suddenly stunned.

Because he found that the spiritual energy in this cultivation room was gone, and it was no different from the towns in the secular world of the outside world.

You know, when Jiang Chen first chose the cultivation room, he was looking for the most dense spiritual energy in the cave. Although the spiritual energy in the cave is thinner than three years ago, it should still be the thickest spiritual energy here. But now there is almost no spiritual energy. Isn’t this a strange thing?

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed. After scanning the room, he found nothing unusual.

He then touched his chin, quickly increasing his spiritual power to the extreme, and then he saw a blue light flashing in his starry eyes.

He naturally used his Heavenly Eye Wisdom without hesitation.

So, the situation in the room immediately changed in his eyes.

"It turned out that there was a hidden crack underground, and the emotional aura ran to the ground!" Jiang Chen suddenly realized.

He used the magic of the Heavenly Eye Wisdom just now, and it worked, and he discovered an abnormal change on the ground.

Looking at the ground that was no different from the usual ground, Jiang Chen pulled out the Yanling Knife, then shouted loudly, and a golden sword aura suddenly slashed out.

"Boom!" A big hole was immediately split into the ground of the cultivation room.
Chapter completed!
