The Scarlet Refinement this sect entrance, situated in Yun Province south, a fire is spiritual energy to be exceptionally abundant on extremely the active giant active volcano. 赤炼本宗山门,位于云州极南,一座火属灵气异常充沛活跃的巨大活火山上。 This mountain named „Scarlet Refinement volcano”. 此山名为“赤炼火山”。 inner sect disciple, cultivation in this sect on Scarlet Refinement volcano. 内门弟子,都在赤炼火山上的本宗之内修行。 Foot constructs hillside, assumes the stepped distributed giant city. 山脚则有一座依山而建,呈阶梯状分布的巨大城池。 This city named „Scarlet Refinement City”, has hundreds of thousands of population fully. 此城名为“赤炼城”,足有数十万人口。 Scarlet Refinement Sect established has several thousand years, at first, but only has sect founder, and disciple and others few more than ten people. 赤炼门立派已有数千年,最初时,不过只有开派祖师,及其门徒等寥寥十余人。 Later Scarlet Refinement sect founder and broad disciple , the disciple disciple meets the members of the same family to the Scarlet Refinement mountain stays, so forms the convention gradually: 之后赤炼祖师开宗立派、广纳门徒,又不禁门下弟子将亲族接至赤炼山住下,如此渐渐形成惯例: Each generation of Scarlet Refinement Sect cultivator, so long as can reach to Dao Foundation Realm, promote to true disciple, can meet the members of the same family. 每一代的赤炼门修士,只要能臻至道基境,晋位真传弟子,就可以将亲族接来。 In the past that Yuan Zhenyun, in building after Dao Foundation, once planned to meet Scarlet Refinement City the family. What a pity has not formed a line, because of provoking Ni Kun, causing entire family to throw the street. 当年那原震云,在筑就道基之后,就曾打算将家族接来赤炼城。可惜尚未成行,就因招惹倪坤,导致全家扑街。 Although there is „Dao Foundation Realm” this limit, but the cultivator members of the same family wanted, will not basically leave again. 尽管有“道基境”这一限制,可修士亲族只要来了,基本就不会再离开。 Has the cultivator members of the same family to join unceasingly, multiplies after several thousand years, the population under Scarlet Refinement mountain, has reached as high as hundreds of thousands, also then had this greatly and still „Scarlet Refinement City that” non-stop expanding. 如此不断有修士亲族加入,又历经数千年繁衍,赤炼山下的人口,已然高达数十万,也便有了这座巨大且仍在不停扩建的“赤炼城”。 Scarlet Refinement City several hundred thousand people, are almost the cultivator members of the same family. 赤炼城几十万人,几乎都是修士亲族。 Even if many families, because did not have Dao Foundation Realm cultivator, reduces for the dependency and even the floor, in the family/home still has Energy Refinement Realm cultivator mostly, and has the complicated relations with being in power family. 即使许多家族,因为没有了道基境修士,沦落为附庸乃至底层,家中也多半有炼气境修士,且与得势家族有着千丝万缕的关系。 After all, Scarlet Refinement City can develop so many population, these cultivator families, decide however marry all the year round mutually, have the complicate relations by marriage relations. 毕竟,赤炼城能发展到这么多人口,那些修士家族,定然是长年互相联姻,有着盘根错节的姻亲关系的。 Then, in Scarlet Refinement City many people, even the aptitude has „inferiorly”, and even „inferior” below, so long as relates perfect, then can result in passes on cultivation technique, obtains the sufficient cultivation resources. 如此一来,赤炼城中许多人,即使资质只得“下等”,乃至“下等”以下,只要关系过硬,便都可以得传功法,获得充足的修炼资源。 But Scarlet Refinement Sect cultivator, to strengthen the position, spare no effort will cultivate the members of the same family. 而赤炼门修士,为了巩固自身地位,也会不遗余力的栽培亲族。 This causes in Scarlet Refinement Sect, floods massive dependence relationship through female relatives to be able cultivation cultivator. 这就导致赤炼门中,充斥着大量依靠裙带关系得以修行的修士。 However, even if there is sufficient resources, has the direction of members of the same family senior, „Dao Foundation Realm” is a difficulty, the aptitude insufficient then is extremely still difficult to overstep. Even if builds on Dao Foundation by luck, still basically arrived in the cultivation end point. 不过,就算有着充足的资源,有亲族前辈的指点,“道基境”也是一道难关,资质不足便极难逾越。即使侥幸筑就道基,也基本抵达了修行终点。 „Golden Core Realm” is difficult. “金丹境”就更是艰难。 If the aptitude is insufficient, does not have any to go against heaven's will the fortuitous encounter, then has many resources, is almost impossible purely by the resources, builds Golden Core cultivator. 倘若资质不足,又没有什么逆天奇遇,便是有再多的资源,也几乎不可能纯靠资源,堆砌出一位金丹修士。 Therefore, to maintain the sect vigor, Scarlet Refinement Sect also has to convene every 50 years one time „Dragon Gate Assembly”, from population base huge mortal world, includes the outstanding disciple, to supplement fresh blood. 所以,为了维持门派活力,赤炼门也不得不每50年召开一次“龙门大会”,从人口基数庞大的凡俗世界,收录优秀弟子,以补充新血。 However, in Scarlet Refinement Sect, since are many are skirt belt cultivator, those with vested interests out of the self-interest, definitely meet the instinct to suppress the mortal disciple all alone. 然而,赤炼门中既然多的是裙带修士,那既得利益者们出于自身利益,必然会本能打压无依无靠的凡俗弟子。 Even some far-sighted cultivator, will not suppress the aptitude outstanding mortal disciple visibly, still through marrying and accepting the disciple and other methods, the aptitude extremely good mortal disciple, gathers together into the disciple. 即使一些有远见的修士,并不会明着打压资质优异的凡俗弟子,也会通过联姻、收徒等种种手段,将资质极佳的凡俗弟子,拢入自家门下。 In Scarlet Refinement Sect, few can get rid of such environment. 身在赤炼门,几乎没人能摆脱这样的环境。 A lofty and unyielding character, tries to maintain the independence, unwilling cocurrent flow mortal disciple, even the aptitude is unusual, still will be very difficult to have the good end. 一身傲骨,试图保持独立,不甘同流的凡俗弟子,即使资质超凡,也很难会有好下场。 Ni Kun naturally is all alone „mortal disciple”, even if has Scarlet Refinement Sect standard „medium” aptitude, still can only be an ordinary outer sect disciple. 倪坤自然是无依无靠的“凡俗弟子”,即使有着赤炼门标准的“中等”资质,也只能做一个普通的外门弟子。 But this year this „Dragon Gate Assembly”, Scarlet Refinement Sect altogether included more than 600 mortal world disciples from Yun Province. 而今年这一届的“龙门大会”,赤炼门总共自云州收录了六百余世俗弟子。 And „inferior” aptitude, more than 300 people, threw into „janitor institute” fully entirely. 其中“下等”资质者,足有三百多人,统统被扔进了“杂役院”。 „Medium” aptitude more than 200 people, just like Ni Kun, enters lower institute outer sect cultivation. “中等”资质者二百多人,与倪坤一样,进入下院外门修行。 Only then less than 50 people „superior” above aptitude, can directly enter inner sect cultivation. 只有不到五十人的“上等”以上资质,可以直接进入内门修行。 Bai Wuhen and Bai Wuxia brother and sister, are „top grade” aptitude, is in this group of mortal world disciples, second aptitude best several person. However does not conform to Scarlet Refinement Sect cultivation technique because of the physique, was sent the janitor institute sad. 白无痕、白无瑕兄妹,乃是“极等”资质,是这一批俗世弟子中,资质最好的几个人之二。然而因体质不符合赤炼门功法,非常悲催地被打发进了杂役院。 Although the janitor institute can also cultivation, have opportunity promote to enter lower institute theoretically, becomes the outer sect disciple, and even promotes the inner sect disciple, but the theory eventually is only the theory. 虽说杂役院也是能修行的,理论上也有机会晋入下院,成为外门弟子,乃至晋升内门弟子,但理论终究只是理论。 The cultivation aptitude of janitor institute disciples, was inferior plans , the odd job is many, even the cultivation time is not enough. 杂役院弟子们的修行资质,本来就逊色一筹,又杂务繁多,连修行时间都不够。 Be responsible for giving the janitor the institute disciple to teach cultivation technique cultivator, is some by relating janitor institute manager skirt belt cultivator, itself has no ability, actually also looks down upon janitor institute „inferiorly” the aptitude mortal disciple. When teaches cultivation technique does a perfunctory job, will not explain attentively. 负责给杂役院弟子传授功法的修士,又都是些靠关系进杂役院管事的裙带修士,本身没什么能耐,却还看不起杂役院“下等”资质的凡俗弟子。传授功法时一个个敷衍塞责,根本不会用心讲解。 The janitor institute disciple basically does not have the monthly salary, can only by completing the task, makes point extremely meager resources. 杂役院弟子也基本没有月俸,只能靠完成任务,挣得一点极其微薄的资源。 Therefore, once entered the janitor institute, basically can be discards thoroughly. 所以,一旦进了杂役院,基本上就可以算是彻底废掉了。 Again how diligently cultivation, in the future best future, has Energy Refinement level 5-6 cultivation base, seeks an assignment in Scarlet Refinement City, being disappointed life. 再怎么努力修行,未来最好的前程,也就只是有个炼气五六层的修为,在赤炼城中寻个差事,潦倒一生。 But lower institute outer sect, „medium” aptitude mortal disciple, the cultivation time are at least much , the opportunity of promotion is bigger, even there is an cultivator family of opportunity by Scarlet Refinement City to settle on, becomes the family dependency, obtains the family to provide, quite sufficient cultivation resources- 而下院外门,“中等”资质的凡俗弟子,至少修炼时间较多,晋升的机会更大,甚至有机会被赤炼城中的修士家族看中,成为家族附庸,得到家族提供的,较为充足的修炼资源- Scarlet Refinement Sect standard „medium” aptitude, if according to the Central Land standard, is „excellent” aptitude, all hopefully in 20 years, promote was ninth level of the Energy Refinement Realm. 赤炼门标准的“中等”资质,若按中土标准,乃是“优等”资质,皆有望在20年内,晋为炼气九层。 And builds on Dao Foundation, is promoted to „true disciple” probability , about 20%. 且筑就道基,晋升为“真传弟子”的概率,也在20%左右。 Even Golden Core, has small hope achievement. 甚至连金丹,都有很小的希望成就。 Therefore in Scarlet Refinement City, does not have the qualifications to win over „superior” the medium little family of mortal disciple, the goal of winning over, put on the outer sect disciples, will wrestle a future opportunity. 所以赤炼城中,一些没资格拉拢“上等”凡俗弟子的中小家族,就将拉拢的目标,放到了外门弟子们身上,搏一个未来的机会。 Therefore Ni Kun was just entering lower institute first day, because of the scholarly polite bearing and natural handsome semblance, drew on the person with high aspirations „squints to covet”. 于是倪坤在刚刚进入下院的第一天,就因为儒雅温文的气度、潇洒俊朗的外表,招来了有心人的“觑觎”。 „Are you Ni Kun?” “你就是倪坤？” In lower institute that Scarlet Refinement City, Middle City District, the outer sect disciple occupies. 赤炼城,中城区,外门弟子居住的下院之中。 Ni Kun is tidying up to assign to own small log cabin, the entrance suddenly walks a well-dressed middle-aged man, at the back of both hands, is taking a look at him arrogantly. 倪坤正在收拾分配给自己的小木屋,门口忽然走进来一个衣着华丽的中年男子,背着双手,趾高气扬地打量着他。 Assumes stepped distributed Scarlet Refinement City along the appearance of the mountain, has the upper , middle and lower three city area. 沿山势呈阶梯状分布的赤炼城,有上、中、下三个城区。 The cultivator family that some are in power, resides in topography highest Upper City District. 一些正得势的修士家族,居于地势最高的上城区。 The lower institute outer sect disciple, resides in central Middle City District. In addition some little families, live in this. 下院的外门弟子,居于中部的中城区。此外还有一些中小家族,亦聚居于此。 As for foot Lower City District, is the lost power dependency families and floor personnel lives. 至于山脚的下城区,便是已失势的附庸家族、底层人员居住。 „Janitor institute” naturally also in Lower City District. “杂役院”自然也在下城区。 „Below Ni Kun, who doesn't know your excellency? Looks does below?” “在下正是倪坤,不知阁下何人？找在下有何贵干？” Although that middle-aged man body no least bit cultivation base, the put on a high and mighty act, superiority feeling is full, but Ni Kun is well-mannered, is graceful. 虽那中年男子身无半点修为,却还趾高气昂,优越感十足,可倪坤还是彬彬有礼,风度十足。 The middle-aged person is still supine the chin, face arrogant looks at Ni Kun: „Snort, the luck of your boy came! Heard your a little skill, Young Master my family decided to give you an opportunity. Follows me, pays a visit Young Master my family!” 那中年人则依旧仰着下巴,一脸傲慢地看着倪坤:“哼,你小子的运气来了！听人说你有点本事,我家少爷决定给你一个机会。跟我走一趟,去拜见我家少爷吧！” „This......” Ni Kun blinks, puzzled asked: „Does not know that the expensive/noble family/home is?” “这个……”倪坤眨眨眼,一脸疑惑地问:“不知贵家是？” „Young Master my family surnamed Shang.” “我家少爷姓商。” That middle-aged man said proudly: „My Shang family eldest son, last year just promote was Scarlet Refinement Sect true disciple. Now side also lacks several partners who run about to handle matters to work as, then I am looking for several appearance propers in lower institute, goes to nearby the eldest son to run about. Your boy also calculates that grows puts on despicable airs, some people have mentioned you, therefore my first then selected you. Also is gawking doing? Follows me!” 那中年男人傲然道:“我商家大少爷,去年刚刚晋为赤炼门真传弟子。现在身边还缺几个跑腿办事的伴当,便着我在下院找几个模样周正的,去大少爷跟前跑腿。你小子也算长得人模狗样,又有人提起过你,所以我第一个便挑中了你。还愣着干什么？跟我走吧！” Ni Kun is good to say with a smile: „This......” 倪坤好笑道:“这位……” „my name is Qian. Is the Shang Mansion three stewards.” “我姓钱。是商府三管家。” The Ni Kun smile said: „This Mr. Qian, below join Scarlet Refinement Sect, was just unfamiliar with the people and place, does not know that is who raised with the Shang family eldest son my?” 倪坤微笑道:“这位钱先生,在下刚刚拜入赤炼门,人生地不熟的,也不知是谁跟商家大少爷提起我的？” That third steward Qian said lightly: „Naturally is also a lower institute disciple of join my family Eldest Young Master disciple. Who as for that person is, you paid a visit the eldest son, naturally knew.” 那钱三管家淡淡道:“自然也是一位拜入我家大少门下的下院弟子。至于那人是谁,你去拜见了大少爷,自然就知道了。” Ni Kun also said: „That does not know that follows the Shang family eldest son to run about below, what advantage can have?” 倪坤又道:“那不知在下跟着商家大少爷跑腿,能有什么好处？” „Can run about nearby Dao Foundation Realm true disciple, is the huge advantage! What advantage did you also ask unexpectedly? Does your eye hide is so shallow?” “能在一位道基境的真传弟子跟前跑腿,就已经是天大的好处了！你居然还问有什么好处？你的眼皮子就这么浅？” That Shang Mansion three steward cold snort/hum surnamed Qian, a face despises looks at Ni Kun: 那姓钱的商府三管家冷哼一声,一脸鄙视地看着倪坤: „, I spoke frankly, with our Shang family eldest son, you at least can have a low grade spirit stone advantage every month, Energy Refinement spiritual pill enjoyed. If takes care of our eldest sons to be satisfied, he directs your several casually, you then can benefit all one's life! This grade of good deed, many lower institute outer sect disciples asked unable to strive. Can be selected, is your lucky report, you may not or knows the good and evil!” “也罢,我就直说吧,跟着我们商家大少爷,你每个月至少能有一枚下品灵石的好处,还有炼气灵丹受用。要是服侍得我们大少爷满意,他随便指点你几句,你便能受用不尽！这等好事,多少下院外门弟子求都求不来。能被挑中,是你的福报,你可莫要不识好歹！” „Hehe.” Ni Kun hehe two, on the face the smile restrains instantaneously: „Sends the beggar? Hurries to get the hell out!” “呵呵。”倪坤呵呵两声,脸上笑容瞬间收敛:“打发叫花子呢？赶紧滚蛋！” „You!” third steward Qian stares dumbfounded, a face is staring Ni Kun amazed. “你！”钱三管家瞠目结舌,一脸惊诧地瞪着倪坤。 To come in him, Ni Kun listens to „advantage that” he said that should be grateful, expressed gratitude servilely repeatedly, handed over the thank-you gift to be right to him again. But has not actually thought, this child unexpectedly is so impolitely arrogant, unexpectedly dares to call him „getting the hell out”! 在他想来,倪坤听了他说的“好处”,应该感激涕零,卑躬屈膝地连声道谢,再给他递来谢礼才对。可却万万没有想到,此子居然如此傲慢无礼,居然胆敢叫他“滚蛋”！ After shock, this third steward Qian volume splits the blue vein, is red in the face to stamp one's foot roars angrily: „What did your boy say a moment ago? Had to plant says again?” 震惊过后,这钱三管家额绽青筋,面红耳赤跳脚怒叫:“你小子刚才说什么？有种再说一遍？” „Are you so inexpensive? By one scolded insufficiently, but can also suffer again second? I was actually also disrespectful.” Ni Kun smiles looks at third steward Qian, a character character said: „Please, hurry, gets the hell out!” “你这人怎么就这么贱呢？挨一遍骂不够,还要再挨第二遍？那我也就却之不恭了。”倪坤笑眯眯看着钱三管家,一字字道:“请你,赶紧,滚蛋！” Said that flicks the sleeve, fresh breeze blows out, that third steward Qian pū falls to the ground immediately, like rolling the bottle gourd, the bone tumbled out the room common. 说罢一拂袖,一股劲风吹出,那钱三管家顿时噗嗵倒地,如同滚地葫芦似地,骨碌碌滚出了房间。 That third steward Qian stands up in an extremely difficult situation, the hatred stared Ni Kun one: „Scoundrel boy, is unappreciative! And you are waiting, I thought that crazily when you can arrive!” Said that walked lamely. 那钱三管家狼狈不堪地站起身来,怨毒地瞪了倪坤一眼:“混账小子,不识抬举！你且等着,我看你能狂到几时！”说罢一瘸一拐地走了。 „Really is bewildered.” Ni Kun shakes the head , to continue to clean up the room. “真是莫明其妙。”倪坤摇摇头,继续收拾房间。 He actually does not think one annoys troublesome, is only thinking weeds out the Scarlet Refinement Sect wool peacefully. 他其实也不想一来就惹麻烦,只想着安静地薅赤炼门羊毛。 Does to Scarlet Refinement Sect atmosphere prodigy, he also has the moral courage, how not to want lay low to do to be small again. 奈何赤炼门风气奇葩,他又自有气节,再如何都不愿意伏低作小。 Even if will therefore make any big trouble, he still recognized. 即使会因此惹出什么大乱子,他也认了。 Spent the less than half double-hour, cleans up inside and outside cleanly the room, Ni Kun then prepares lower institute Cultivation Bestowal Hall, receives the clothing and number and route plate of outer sect disciple. 花了小半个时辰,将房间里里外外收拾得干干净净,倪坤便准备去下院传功堂,领取外门弟子的服饰、腰牌。 Was just good before Cultivation Bestowal Hall , together gloomy and cold male voice, after then oneself, transmitted: „Are you Ni Kun?” 刚行至传功堂前,正要进去,一道阴冷男声,便自身后传来:“你就是倪坤？” Ni Kun then looked, sees one to be tall, wears the black long gown, the lapel mouth is embroidering fire cloud youth cultivator, is carrying both hands, indifferent looks at. 倪坤回头一看,就见一个身材高大,身着黑色长袍,襟口绣着一朵火云的青年修士,正背着双手,冷眼看着自己。 In that youth cultivator behind, with several wear gray surcoats, the sleeve cuff is embroidering the small fire cloud outer sect disciple. 在那青年修士身后,跟着好几个穿着灰色外袍,袖口绣着小小火云的外门弟子。 And has the outer sect disciple, looks at as if a little looks familiar. That striking blade strip face, the look of that sinister and vicious hate, lets before immediately Ni Kun recalled several days, Uncle Yuan family in Dragon Gate Town nephew. 其中有个外门弟子,看着似乎有点眼熟。那张醒目的刀条脸,还有那阴鸷怨恨的眼神,立刻让倪坤回想起了几日之前,龙门镇中的元氏叔侄。 But that third steward Qian, mixes among that several outer sect disciples, from is looking at itself complacently. 而那钱三管家,也混在那几个外门弟子当中,正自得意洋洋地瞧着自己。 „Dog was hit, master then over?” “狗被人打了,主人便来出头么？” Ni Kun looks at this stance, understood at heart, turns around to say to that youth cultivator: „I am Ni Kun, who is your excellency? Does?” 倪坤一瞧这架势,心里就明白了,转身对着那青年修士说道:“我是倪坤,阁下是谁？有何贵干？” 【Today's weekend, therefore zero point also has, asked a ticket!】 【今天周末了,所以零点又有加更,求勒个票！】
