The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 155 An Unexpected Encounter with Xiao Ruyin

Ye Qingyang was speechless. He could run into these spies no matter where he went. He didn't know whether to be grateful for his good luck or for theirs. Out of so many people, they just happened to target him. And he was also a master of playing dumb to take advantage of others!

Ye Qingyang recalled the day he accidentally met Xiao Ruyin, a disciple of the Jishi Sect. He also happened to be here to pick Wuying flowers, but he wasn't very familiar with this secret realm. So when he met her, Ye Qingyang naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass him by.

Xiao Ruyin is a disciple of the Jishi Sect, one of the four major sects. Jishi Sect disciples are generally kind and skilled in both medicine and poison, but they always prioritize saving lives. If they poison or kill others without authorization, they will be punished. Therefore, they will not harm others unless absolutely necessary. It was because of this consideration that Ye Qingyang decided to help and invited others to accompany him!

Secondly, Ye Qingyang himself understands pharmacology and is not afraid of being poisoned. More importantly, he hopes to better understand the situation of the major sects so that he can find a backer later!

A gentle female voice rang out, "Fellow Daoist Ye wishes to join a sect! Then let me introduce you to the four major sects! After all, these are the only four sects in the entire Azure Sky Realm with profound foundations, and they are the best choice for cultivators!"

Ye Qingyang said gently, "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Xiao. I am not very familiar with the internal situation of these four major sects. It is my good fortune to know you, Fellow Daoist Xiao!"

"Fellow Daoist Ye, you are too kind! In fact, among these four major sects, the Dao Sect has the strongest foundation. The Dao Sect has a long history and profound foundation, and has always abided by the law. The sect is also united, and it can be said to be the sect that has produced the most powerful human beings. The disciples also get along very well and are very tolerant. The knowledge they have is also very diverse, including weapon crafting, formation, talisman, beast taming, alchemy, body cultivation, and sword cultivation. They can cultivate a single skill or cultivate multiple skills according to their ability, without a single direction."

"Secondly, there is Buddhism. Buddhist practice mainly focuses on physical cultivation and has the most complete physical cultivation techniques."

"Besides that, only the Xuan Nu Palace and the Ji Shi Sect are the worst. The Xuan Nu Palace only recruits female disciples, mostly focusing on sound cultivation. Of course, the techniques they learn are also very mysterious, and their strength is considerable. They never pass them on to outsiders!"

"The Jishi Sect, which is the sect I belong to, mainly focuses on alchemy. They are usually a sect that cultivates spiritual plants to refine and sell pills!"

"Therefore, each of the four sects has its own advantages. However, the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism has always been very serious. As a result, these two sects are not only strong, but also have more stringent systems. Moreover, these sects have many traditions that are different from the present. For example, once you join these two sects, you must abandon your past life and be given a new Dharma name instead of your real name. Furthermore, each generation name is fixed and will not be changed based on the level of cultivation!"

"Oh! It sounds like this Taoist sect is quite similar to the Buddhist sect. They both gather their sects together like one big family, with each member having a fixed status like a family member, without any distinction of strength or weakness. No wonder they are so united!"

"Yes! I think this is also why this rule has not changed in the two sects as the cultivation world has developed. Moreover, they have many similarities. For example, they both require their disciples to enter the mortal world. The Daoist sect requires its disciples to leave the sect to travel when they reach a certain age, and even requires them to go to the mortal world to exorcise evil spirits for ordinary people and help the world! The Buddhist sect also sends its disciples to be ascetic monks to experience the suffering of the world, chant scriptures to pray for blessings, relieve suffering and rescue the world."

"Of course, we cannot imitate such a grand gesture. So although our last two sects are also among the top four sects, they are not bad in terms of financial resources, but in terms of foundation, they are far behind them."

"Excluding Buddhism, there are only three sects to choose from among these four major sects. The Daoist sect is the best, as it offers diverse learning options and has strong teaching elders, but one must sever all ties to their past life. As for the Xuan Nu Palace, it never accepts male disciples, so Fellow Daoist Ye can be directly ruled out. As for the Ji Shi Sect, one only needs abundant spiritual power, the ability to identify spiritual plants, and a certain talent for alchemy!"

"So, it depends on what Fellow Daoist Ye is better at, or what he can accept?"

"Of course, besides considering the three major sects, you can also consider other sects, such as the Beast Taming Sect, which is second only to the four major sects in status. The Beast Taming Sect mainly focuses on breeding and selling spirit beasts. Most of them are beast tamers who can tame spirit beasts and form contracts with them to allow the spirit beasts to participate in battles and provide combat power!"

Ye Qingyang nodded silently, lost in thought, as if pondering something.
