I can gather experience beads

Rush to the capital from Luoshui area.

The journey is thousands of miles.

However, the carriage arranged by Zuo Xiao was fully equipped. Along the way, Cao Rui was in the carriage, using the True Fire Pills in stock to practice the internal energy he had just acquired from the Luoshui Gang, so he was not idle.

in this way.

Ten days later.

The convoy arrived in Kyoto.

Zuo Xiao arranged for Cao Rui and his apprentice You Feng to stay temporarily in his own house.

Then he went into the palace to report.

This time, the events in the Luoshui area involved immortal cultivators, so in addition to reporting to the Emperor of Xiao State, Zuo Xiao also had to report to the immortal cultivator priest.

Of course, Zuo Xiao did not forget to introduce offerings to Cao Rui.

Cao Rui didn't have to wait too long.

Zuo Xiao hurried back.

Zuo Xiao had a happy look on his face, and it was obvious that he had received good responses both in his personal and professional matters.

"Senior Cao, please follow me. Lord Liu wants to see you in person!"

"Okay." Cao Rui nodded slightly.

Zuo Xiao’s residence was not far from the Xiao Kingdom’s imperial palace.

Cao Rui followed Zuo Xiao on foot.

With Zuo Xiao leading the way, passage through the heavily guarded imperial palace was smooth. This was the power of the Eagle Guard Commander.

Before this, Cao Rui had asked Zuo Xiao for information about this priest.

Although Zuo Xiao didn't know much, he tried his best to provide information to Cao Rui.

The immortal cultivators offer sacrifices and are dispatched by the three major sects in turn.

Responsible for handling all matters related to the world of immortal cultivation in Xiao.

This immortal cultivator came to the Xiao Kingdom's palace about three years ago, and was sent by the Spirit Beast Sect, one of the three major sects.

His name was Liu Zuoren, but Zuo Xiao was not sure about his specific level of cultivation.

He is a relatively kind person, and has a mysterious spiritual beast, the Thousand-Leaf Crane.

Not long after.

In a training room, Cao Rui met Xiao State's immortal cultivator Liu Zuoren.

To show his sincerity, Cao Rui did not hide the fluctuations of his magical power.

The fluctuation of mana at the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage made Liu Zuoren look sideways slightly, even though Cao Rui had previously passed on his cultivation realm to Liu Zuoren through Zuo Xiao.

But seeing with his own eyes that a casual cultivator could cultivate to the sixth level of Qi Refining at such a young age, Liu Zuoren was still amazed.

"I guess this must be Fellow Daoist Cao Rui." Liu Zuoren took the initiative to greet him.

Those who practice Taoism all seek the way to immortality and generally call each other fellow Taoists.

"Mr. Liu!" Cao Rui bowed slightly.

"Well... let's sit down and talk." Liu Zuoren motioned Cao Rui to sit down.

Cao Rui went up and sat in front.

After sitting down near Liu Zuoren's desk, Liu Zuoren's expression changed slightly: "Hmm? Fellow Daoist Cao, do you know the other fellow disciples of my Spirit Beast Sect?"

Cao Rui was slightly startled: "No, why did Liu Gongfeng say that?"

"I feel the aura of my sect's spiritual creature on Fellow Daoist Cao." Liu Zuoren thought for a moment and spoke frankly.

"It should be right on your chest." Liu Zuoren added at the end.

Cao Rui pondered for a moment, then reached into his chest and pulled out the jade pendant with the word "beast" that he had obtained from the pirates of the Moon Kingdom.

"But what about this thing?" Cao Rui's jade pendant with the word 'beast' on it had a clear origin, so he was not afraid of Liu Zuoren knowing about it.

Liu Zuoren's eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled and said, "That's exactly it."

"I never thought that Fellow Daoist Cao actually possessed the 'beast' jade. It seems that we should become fellow disciples."

Cao Rui played with the jade pendant in his hand. How come they were destined to become fellow disciples?

Cao Rui didn't understand so he asked, clasping his fists and asking, "Court Master Liu, please teach me what the connection is between this jade pendant and the Spirit Beast Sect?"

Liu Zuoren slowly began to explain.

After hearing this, Cao Rui finally understood.

It turns out that this jade pendant with the word "beast" on it is a reward given to those who have made contributions to the Spirit Beast Sect.

As long as one holds the jade pendant and possesses the talent for cultivating immortals, no matter how high or low one's talent is, one can successfully join the Spirit Beast Sect and become a formal disciple.

The Spirit Beast Sect has a history of a thousand years, and has only issued a hundred or so similar jade pendants.

It is estimated that the pirate killed by Cao Rui had ancestors who had made great contributions to the Spirit Beast Sect.

However, there were no people with the talent for cultivating immortals among the later generations, so as it was passed down from generation to generation, the true efficacy of the jade pendant had long been forgotten.

After being killed by Cao Rui, the jade pendant fell into Cao Rui's hands.

Because the sects of cultivating immortals often have a long history, the descendants of immortal cultivators may have changed their surnames.

Therefore, the sect only recognizes the jade pendant and not the person.

With the jade pendant in hand, Cao Rui was able to immediately join the Spirit Beast Sect and become its contemporary disciple.

"Haha! Looks like I have to call Fellow Daoist Cao "Junior Brother Cao" in advance!"

"Junior Brother Cao, when are you going to report to the Spirit Beast Sect?"

"If you are not in a hurry, why don't you wait for me for a while until the successor of Miaoyin Temple arrives, and then we can return to the gate of the Spirit Beast Sect together?"

The term of office is generally three years.

Liu Zuoren's term of office had just ended.

The next people to serve as Xiao State's worshippers are disciples of Miaoyin Temple.

Liu Zuoren only needs to wait for the disciples of Miaoyin Temple to come, complete the handover, and then leave.

Cao Rui thought about it and realized that the gate of the Spirit Beast Sect was far away in the Moon Country, and the journey was too long.

Moreover, Cao Rui didn't know where the gate of the Spirit Beast Sect was.

It is indeed more appropriate to go to the Spirit Beast Sect with Liu Zuoren.

He nodded and agreed.

Originally, after Cao Rui came out of seclusion, he wanted to go to Changyuan Xiuxian Market to buy some pill recipes.

Now that he can directly join the Spirit Beast Sect, Cao Rui naturally doesn’t need to go to the Xiuxian Market anymore.

"Senior Brother Liu, I wonder if I could ask you for a favor." As they were having a pleasant conversation, Cao Rui changed the way he addressed Liu Zuoren and spoke.

"Tell me, Junior Brother Cao, is it about cultivation?" Liu Zuoren thought that Cao Rui, as a casual cultivator, had many questions about cultivation.

This is a problem that most casual practitioners have to face.

"No."

"Ahem, that's it."

"I run a martial arts school in the mortal world."

"I want to find more innate mental skills to pass on to my disciples."

"I wonder if Senior Brother Liu can help me find some innate internal skills?" Cao Rui found an excuse and asked.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zuoren said, "Mundane martial arts? This is easy."

Liu Zuoren took out a token from the storage bag on his waist and handed it to Cao Rui.

Then he called a young eunuch over.

"Xiao Jinzi, take Master Cao to the national treasury."

"Junior Brother Cao, if you have a mental method that you value, just pick up your pen and make a copy of it."

"The national treasury is full of common items. If you value something, don't be polite, just take it. This Xiao Kingdom is jointly governed by our three sects, so naturally the things in the national treasury are ours." Liu Zuoren said proudly.

Go directly into the Xiao State treasury to take things?

Cao Rui swallowed slightly. This is the power of immortals. The secular country is just a shell.

Cao Rui thanked him and followed Xiao Jinzi to the national treasury.

With the token given by Liu Zuoren, he had a smooth journey.

Soon, Cao Rui arrived at the place where the martial arts skills were stored in the national treasury.

Hundreds of innate-level internal skills appeared in Cao Rui's eyes.

Moreover, all those that can be collected by the national treasury are the most advanced internal skills.

It was more than enough for Cao Rui to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage.

Cao Rui did not trust others to copy it, so he took up the pen and made a copy himself.
