I Found A Planet

Chapter 478: Inducted Disciples

Before going in, Chen Jin didn’t feel anything. He didn’t know how it felt before entering, it was only when he entered the wall that he felt a sense of amazement. To describe that the stone wall was like flowing water and how it allowed him to freely pass through engendered a sense of incredulity in him. After all, that was a stone wall, it was not an environment but a real entity. And inside the stone wall was another thing that was simply out of this world. It was a dark green lake. The area of the lake was not large but it was extremely deep. All kinds of buildings were constructed around the lake, row upon row and their quantity was innumerable. The concentration of the spiritual energy was so high it was shocking, it seemed to almost be a tangible thing. Upon a second look, the concentration of spiritual energy in the lake seemed to only be a little denser than other places. But Chen Jin knew that things would not be so simple, so he applied the full strength of his eyesight and carefully looked at it. The pool did not contain water, instead, it was spiritual energy that had been transformed into a tangible substance because its concentration was too dense. The spiritual energy was like water, and a fine mist rose from the surface. There was a thread of dense celestial vapor in the depths of the water, there is a sigh of scent. If one could cultivate in the pool of spiritual energy, it might even be better than absorbing spirit stones directly. This was a great paradise, a great immortal cultivation sect. The first impression that Chen Jin had of this scene was “A city on the valley floor and outstanding scenery.”

On the other hand, the little girl saw Chen Jin entering the stone wall, unwilling to admit defeat, she plunged into the wall headfirst. Seeing this, everyone else went into the wall headfirst, too.

As Chen Jin sized up the scenery, he took out his cellphone and took several photos. Although he had the chip in his brain and could take photos by linking the chip with his eyes if he wanted to, with the years of habit behind him, he still took out his phone like he was used to. Others had seen the scenery and they were all astounded, so no one noticed him.

Before he could take more than a few photos, the old man who led the group said, “Welcome to Xintan Sect. Since you’ve entered this place, you can be considered a disciple. Our sect does not have too many rules, we only have a few. Remember these rules well. One, disciples must not kill each other. Two, you need to complete the routine tasks set out by the sect every month. Three, except for completing your tasks and special circumstances, you must not go over the heads of the superiors and enter their areas. You must remember these.”

“We understand,” everyone spoke in unison.

The old man nodded with satisfaction and said to the crowd, “Then, jump into the water. This pool of water is a treasured place of cultivation in the land, it is the road that you must take when you are inducted and an induction welfare for new disciples. After jumping in, you can sit quietly for half an hour. Although you have not yet officially started to cultivating, this pool of water can greatly nourish the physical body, so that your journey of cultivation will be smoother in the future. You need to know that you will have to make some contributions if you want to come here later.” After making this speech, the old man turned around and shut his eyes, no longer speaking a word.

Although the lake was deep, there were also schools of fish. When they heard that they only had half an hour to use the lake, everyone rushed headlong into the water, fighting to be the first.

“Even though the lake is described as water, it’s spiritual energy. It’s somewhat thick but it’s not suffocating,” Chen Jin touched his nose and muttered.

He brushed his hand against the surface of the water and saw the spiritual energy threading into hand wave after wave. It could greatly nourish the physical body even if one did not cultivate it. If one was cultivated in the “water,” wouldn’t it be comparable to the absorbing lower grade spirit stones? The effect was still far from good enough, it was only equivalent to absorbing the lower grade spirit stones. As someone who had been using middle-grade spirit stones for cultivation regularly throughout the years, the effects of the lake weren’t as good as he wanted. If he could reach the bottom of the pool, he should be able to satisfy his own cultivation needs. This was what Chen Jin thought. Of course, only he dared to think this way. If others knew what he was thinking, they would be so depressed. They would probably say, “Motherfucker, I feel so blessed to cultivate here, yet you are reluctant, what the hell are you?”

Their half an hour ended. Everyone was excited, they felt that they had benefited a lot. Only Chen Jin showed an indifferent expression. Seeing that everyone had gotten up, and the old man slowly raised himself without a word and walked towards the cluster of buildings. The people followed behind and glanced left and right, they were like a group of people who had never seen the world and was about to go into the capital. Not long after, a large hall appeared in front of them. On the plaque were two big words “Xintan Sect.” Although the font was not aesthetically pleasing, it gave people a feeling of honor and integrity. With one look, one could tell that it was an upright and decent sect.

The old man led the crowd and walked for a couple of hours. He stopped on a mountain ridge with lush vegetation. A dense group of houses entered their vision. These single-story houses were made up of large rocks piled together, and they looked very simple and crude. Moreover, not a single person could be seen in the many houses, it seemed to be an empty city. It seemed that all of the houses were vacant and there was not the slightest sign of human habitation. This caused the group to have some misgivings! “You can stop overthinking, these houses are indeed empty, no one lives here. Because this is the living area for the new disciples who have just been inducted. Although the houses are somewhat crude, all the basic facilities for your first time settling here are complete. It will not affect you in your initial phases of cultivation,” The old man calmly said when he detected the doubts of the people. Suddenly, everyone understood. But what made them speechless was the state of the houses, weren’t they just too much of a hole in the wall. Even if they were cultivators, shouldn’t they at least have a comfortable environment during cultivation? Chen Jin felt more depressed than the others. After all, everything in Haierfa, including his clothes, food, accommodation, and transportation was custom made. When had he ever lived in this sort of tiny run-down house? Thinking about the fact that he had to stay here for a long time, Chen Jin decided that he must go back to Haierfa through the portal and bring back all his custom equipment. Otherwise, things would be too unbearable.

As Chen Jin thought about his affairs, the old man had not stopped walking. Instead, he was taking everyone all over the alleys between the stone houses. After leading them through so many turns that everyone was confused, a wooden garret appeared in front of their eyes–the only wooden turret here. This turret was larger than the average turret. There was a medicinal garden in the courtyard; everything that was needed was readily available. Among a group of stone houses, the turret appeared particularly tall, large and imposing. But compared to the grand hall that they had seen before, the wooden turret still looked too poor. The old man stood at the door and without explain anything, he shouted, “Disciple Wang, quickly come down and open the door. I’ve brought a new group of disciples to collect their things!”

The old man had just finished speaking when everyone heard the groan of the door as it started to open. The door slowly opened, but there was no one behind the door at all. If everyone present were not immortal cultivators, they would have thought that they saw a ghost. When the old man saw that the door was opened, he did not hesitate to take the lead and walked in. The people looked at each other and followed him into the house.

They saw that the interior area of the house seemed to be bigger than the size of the house as it appeared on the outside. Everyone was curious and thought that the house must have been tampered by someone. However, Chen Jin appeared calm and indifferent. After all, when he was on Earth, he had even witnessed the secret space of a Sage. A very small place could open up into a space as big as a few football fields put together. To him, this little tactic was not a big deal, it could even be considered child’s play.

Although the turret appeared to be neatly planned when they looked up at it from the outside, the inside of the turret was neater and more uniform. The attire of the sect was stacked neatly together, and various weapons were placed on different shelves according to the grade and type. In addition to these things, there were storage bags and books, which were also placed in their respective positions. It seemed that these were the things they were going to collect.
