Chapter 2132 - 2133: Morning Worship Ceremony
In reality, the Divine Healer Valley is not very strict in managing its disciples.
Apart from the morning ceremony held every day, there is nothing else.
In fact, even cultivation must be done by oneself.
However, each disciple has two opportunities each month to consult with an elder!
Ye Luo put down the manual; it’s completely a free-range mode!
No wonder the disciples of Divine Healer Valley perform so mediocrely. With such a model, if any experts emerge, it would be because of the disciples’ extraordinary talent.
Ye Luo opened the door and headed towards the morning ceremony hall.
Along the way, he saw quite a few disciples dressed in the attire of the Divine Healer Valley, each with a hurried expression, and when they saw Ye Luo, they merely glanced at him.
Ye Luo didn’t mind; after all, the entire Divine Healer Valley is peculiar, regardless of the disciples’ behavior, Ye Luo found nothing strange about it.
He followed along behind these disciples, when suddenly, Ye Luo noticed something.
These people’s faces seemed a bit pale!
What’s the reason for this? The Divine Healer Valley is famous for its medical skills, yet these disciples look like they are sickly.
Soon, the morning ceremony hall appeared before Ye Luo.
The hall was built exceptionally grand, arguably the most magnificent building in Divine Healer Valley.
Moreover, there was a long queue in front of the door, and Ye Luo curiously joined at the end of it.
Logically, the main entrance of this hall is immensely wide, yet it is tightly closed, only a side door has been opened.
What on earth is this about?
Could it be that to enter this hall, a thorough check is required? They are all disciples of the Divine Healer Valley, what safety concerns could there be?
Ye Luo couldn’t figure it out.
But the queue moved at a decent pace, and when he was about to reach the entrance, he realized what the queuing was for!
It was for receiving holy water!
As for what holy water is, Ye Luo had no idea, and it wasn’t even mentioned in the manual for disciples.
It was only when Ye Luo got closer that he smelled a fragrant scent emanating from the cup.
"You are a new disciple, according to the sect’s rules, you need to consume the enhanced holy water. This is good stuff; it can cleanse and enhance your aptitude!" an authoritative middle-aged man said.
Looking at the holy water, Ye Luo made a shocked face but was inwardly unimpressed.
His physical body was already incredibly robust; did it still need enhancement?
However, he was quite interested in the holy water and drank it all in one go without thinking.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and paid him no more attention, handing the holy water to the next person.
Sensibly, Ye Luo proceeded into the hall.
The moment the holy water reached his stomach, he felt a warmth throughout his body, a feeling of lightness.
This surprised him greatly. For it to have such an effect, at least proved the holy water had some uses!
However, what happened next left him speechless.
The feeling lasted only a moment then vanished, as if he had never consumed it at all.
Ridiculous! Ye Luo scoffed.
At this time, he had already entered the hall, where the lighting was quite dim, but not an issue for cultivators.
Especially for Ye Luo, even in the darkest environments, as long as he activated his Clairvoyant Eye, it was as clear as day.
However, such an environment inevitably gave a suppressive feeling.
Additionally, there were quite a number of people in the hall, easily over a thousand, likely including all but the core disciples of Divine Healer Valley.
The manual indeed specifically stated that missing a day of the morning ceremony would result in deducting a month’s stipend!
Missing two days, a year’s deduction, and missing three days would result in expulsion from Divine Healer Valley!
Being a new disciple, Ye Luo naturally sat at the back.
As he arrived, other newly recruited disciples were already sitting upright and solemn.
However, when they saw Ye Luo, they greeted him warmly.
In fact, Ye Luo wasn’t familiar with them, not even knowing their names.
But he understood that their warmth was entirely because of the Saintess.
They had seen the Saintess personally help him with his luggage earlier.
Who else could receive such treatment? Or rather, could this person be an ordinary guy? Maybe he was the young master of some influential power, here to gain experience.
Ye Luo ignored them and sat down directly.
After a while, three people in white robes entered.
Immediately, Ye Luo sensed the hall’s atmosphere was different.
There was a chilling presence lingering in the hall!
Ye Luo frowned, as a medical practitioner, he was familiar with this kind of presence!
The presence of death! It’s the smell of decaying flesh, something that appears more or less on those whose lifespan is nearing the end!
But typically, strong individuals hide this presence using their mana.
However, the presence in this hall was so intense, meaning either there’s a strong individual nearing their lifespan’s end who hasn’t hidden it,
or it can’t be hidden at all!
Ye Luo preferred to believe the former, because the latter would mean such a person is already dead, merely surviving by some method!
Moreover, the survival time wouldn’t be short!
Suddenly, Ye Luo’s gaze sharpened. Could it be one of these three white-robed individuals?
At that moment, Ye Luo felt tempted to activate his Clairvoyant Eye! But he restrained himself.
Perhaps these white-robed people wouldn’t discover the secret of his Clairvoyant Eye, but the feeling of being watched would definitely be noticeable! In that case, Ye Luo might be exposed.
For now, let’s see what these people are planning!
After all, he didn’t intend to stay long in Divine Healer Valley, and as soon as he acquired the Heart of Technology, he would leave immediately.
After all, he had a lot to accomplish and couldn’t remain a disciple in Divine Healer Valley forever.
Besides, he figured out that the real medical skills in Divine Healer Valley are inaccessible to outer sect disciples, which disappointed him a bit.
Originally, he had wanted to learn Alchemy Technique, but it seemed he needed to become a core disciple!
One of the firm requirements to become a core disciple is to stay in the outer sect for ten years! After all, Alchemy Technique is Divine Healer Valley’s trump card, demanding high loyalty from disciples.
While Ye Luo was pondering, he suddenly felt something strange in his body.
The previous warm feeling reappeared, and also, there was an unusual fragrant scent in the hall, very similar to the scent of the substance he had taken before.
Looking up, Ye Luo saw those three white-robed individuals were actually burning incense, from which the scent originated.
