Chapter 54: Miscellaneous Matters of the Ji Clan

  There is still one more update tonight, updated at 11:30.

  After leaving the Nurturing Heart Palace, Zhang Cheng followed Wu Di to a building and entered. Under Wu Di's lead, Zhang Cheng was taken to a room where he heard Wu Di say: "Younger brother, this is where the 36th generation disciples live. From today on, this room will be yours. This is the jade token for the room; drip your blood onto it so that it recognizes you as its master. After this, no one can enter your room at will."

  "Ah!" Zhang Cheng took the jade token and curiously examined it. He found that this jade token was indeed made of jade, and it was Han white jade, with a uniform white color, without any impurities.

  Moreover, this jade token feels smooth and cool to the touch, it doesn't feel like a jade token at all, but rather like a woman's skin, making him reluctant to let go.

  Then, as Wu Di reminded him, he dripped a drop of his own blood onto it, and instantly the jade token absorbed the blood like a sponge.

  In an instant, Zhang Cheng felt as if he had become the master of this room, and every part of it was clearly perceptible to him, how mysterious.

  "This storage wristband contains the special costumes and treasures of our 36 generations of disciples. I'll give them to you all at once, put them on first, and then follow me to record your information later. At that time, you will become a true disciple of Dan Dao Sect." Wu Di said again.

  "Alright, I'll trouble you to wait for me outside for a while." Zhang Cheng nodded and said.

  "Good!" Wu Di said, and then walked out of the room. Before Zhang could even think of a thought, the door was closed, how inconvenient.

  Zhang Cheng didn't rush to observe the anxious room, after all, there were still people waiting for him outside, so he directly took out the storage wristband and recognized its owner, taking out the treasures and Taoist robes inside.

  As for the magic treasures, he temporarily put them aside. It's not that he wasn't interested, but rather, even if he looked at them, they were useless. Moreover, his storage ring also had quite a few magic treasures, it's just that he didn't have a concept of them yet.

  Apart from the treasure and clothes, there is also a jade tablet inside.

  Zhang Cheng had never seen the Jade Simplification before, but he also knew how to use it. He concentrated his spiritual energy and probed into the interior of the jade, and a section of content appeared in his mind.

  This records some common sense about Xiuzhen, such as blood sacrifice, how to use Fa treasure and so on.

  After reading it through, Zhang Cheng also had a general understanding of the situation in Xiuzhenjie, and felt that it was not much different from his own understanding of Xiuzhenjie.

  According to Wu Di's request, Zhang Cheng changed into a golden Taoist robe like Zhu Yan before.

  Of course, this Taoist robe is a spiritual instrument in itself. Although Zhang Cheng can't exert the effect of this spiritual instrument at this moment, after dripping blood to recognize the master, he can also change the size of this garment at will.

  Moreover, this skill also has an automatic cleaning function, so you don't need to wash it anymore, which is very convenient.

  After doing all this, Zhang Cheng opened the door and followed Wu Di out of the residence. After a period of walking, they arrived at a place similar to an ancestral temple. Inside, there were layers of jade plaques arranged in rows, which looked somewhat like spirit tablets, making people feel uncomfortable all over their bodies.

  "Big brother, what is this thing?" Zhang Cheng asked in puzzlement.

  "This is a soul slip, used to store the spiritual energy of our sect's disciples. In this way, if a disciple who goes out encounters danger, the corresponding soul slip will break, and at the same time record the killer's aura. This way, we can avenge our sect's disciples." Wu Di explained.

  "It's like that!" Zhang Cheng secretly warned himself, from now on when going out, he must not kill people, otherwise, he would be remembered by the door of other families, even if he wanted to kill, he had to borrow a knife to do it.

  "This is your soul badge, just a drop of blood on it will do!" Wu Di handed Zhang Cheng a soul badge and said.

  "Good!" Zhang Cheng dripped a drop of blood onto it, but suddenly, he felt a surge of power pouring into his body from the Soul Jade.

  A portion of this power remained within his own body, while another portion returned to the Soul Jade. However, it took away a wisp of his soul energy as it departed.

  "Senior brother, what is that power inside me?" Zhang Cheng asked tensely.

  After all, he had never experienced such a situation before, and besides, he felt that there was something else in his body, and his heart always felt that it wasn't quite right.

  "That's the soul mark left when making the Soul Jade, once someone is killed, this mark will be transferred to the opponent's body. Within three years, as long as it appears in front of our Dan Tao Sect disciples, our sect's command arrow will show something, and then we can avenge the deceased disciple." Wu Di explained.

  "What is Menpai Lingjian?" Zhang Cheng asked.

  "You'll know soon enough, come with me." Wu Di said, putting the finished soul slip on the table and then led Zhang Cheng into the inner hall.

  In the inner hall, there was an old man with white hair. At this moment, he was sitting on a meditation mat practicing, and after feeling that someone had arrived, he slowly opened his eyes.

  "Disciple Wu Di pays his respects to Master Uncle!" Wu Di respectfully bowed to the elderly man.

  "Hmm!" The old man nodded and said: "You don't cultivate well, what are you doing here?"

  "It's like this, Duan Chenzi Shibo has recently taken in a new disciple, so I'm here to register him." Wu Di replied.

  "Has that little guy taken on an apprentice? Is it him?" The old man glanced at Zhang Cheng, and suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Then, a look of surprise appeared, but he concealed it well. This surprise vanished instantly, and he calmly said: "Alright, go ahead with it. Don't come to ask for my opinion again."

  He finished speaking and then closed his eyes again, with no joy or sorrow on his face, apparently entering into cultivation once more.

  "Yes!" Wu Di responded softly, then led Zhang Cheng around the old man and into the back room. What followed was a bit more complicated, mainly just registering Zhang Cheng's information.

  Finally, Wu Di gave him a golden token made of an unknown material with a "Dan" character written on it.

  "Junior brother, this is the sect's token arrow. It's proof of our Dan Dao Sect discipleship and also represents our identity and various privileges. For example, we have golden tokens in hand, while our master is a 35th generation disciple with white tokens. The 34th generation disciples online use purple tokens, and the 37th generation disciples below hold green tokens. As for those below the 37th generation, they only hold ordinary tokens." Wu Di said.

  "What authority does this token actually have?" Zhang Cheng was quite curious about this point.

  "Our Dan Tao Zong is different from other sects, many places are forbidden and cannot be entered casually. So, the difference in holding tokens can also enter different places. For us, almost all can go in, so there is no need to pay special attention." Wu Di replied.

  "What else is it used for?" Zhang Cheng asked again.

  "Of course, this token not only senses the killer of our sect's disciples and grants access to various places, but also records the contribution degree of the disciples. When the contribution degree reaches a certain level, it can be exchanged for medicinal materials, elixirs, and magical artifacts of equivalent value with the elder, as well as cultivation techniques."

  Moreover, the level of the token is different, and the contribution degree required for exchange is also different. Our golden token can be exchanged for things with 80% contribution degree, so its function runs through each link of the Dan Dao Sect. As for how to accumulate contribution degree, it's just giving dan medicine, gong fa or dan medicine to the elder, and then the elder will give you contribution degree according to the equivalent value." Wu Di replied.

  After Wu Di's explanation, Zhang Cheng finally understood the function of this token. In fact, it was like a membership card on Earth, with four colors - purple, white, gold and green - representing different levels of membership, and the treatment enjoyed was also different depending on the level.

  This was quite interesting for Zhang Cheng, after all, in such a place there was such an advanced management method, which was beyond his expectation.

  "Alright, now you're a part of the Dan Tao Sect. Let me introduce myself, I'm the eldest disciple of our master, my name is Wu Di, and from now on, just call me Wu Shixiong (Brother Wu). If there's anything you don't understand in the future, feel free to come find me directly, I live in the room next door."

  "Ah, my name Wu Shixiong should also know now, I won't say more, please take care of me in the future, brother!" Zhang Cheng and Wu Di exchanged some pleasantries before leaving the ancestral hall and returning to his room.
