I use the entry-level skills to create longevity

Chapter 221: Sect Competition, Intelligence

Yang Xuan walked out of the Rising Sun Pavilion with a look of gain on his face.

It was obvious that he had gained a lot in the Rising Sun Pavilion today. Even after the class was over, he was still thinking about Master Zhao Dan's class when he walked out.

The entire process of alchemy kept appearing in his mind, and he also recorded some key points in a book to prevent forgetting them in the future.

Especially some insights, write them down now, they may be useful in the future.

After all, it won’t be long before he will try to refine muscle-strengthening pills to prepare for his promotion to a first-level alchemist.

In the Juling Shendan Peak, there is still a big difference between the preparatory alchemist and the first-level alchemist. Some of the resources he wants can only be accessed by being promoted to a first-level alchemist.

The same goes for some secret manuals on martial arts. If he is promoted to a first-level alchemist, he will be able to obtain the martial arts at the supernatural level within the main method in advance.

The main cultivation techniques that these inner disciples had previously received from the Dan Pavilion and the Library were only at the level of nourishing the spirit and retaining divine weapons, and had not reached the level of awakening supernatural powers.

These are some of the limitations of identity. If you want higher-level skills, you need a certain identity.

At the Juling Shendan Peak, there are only two suitable ways for new disciples. The first is to be promoted to a core disciple and obtain the subsequent skills normally. The second is to be promoted to a formal alchemist and also obtain the subsequent practice skills.

After all, Juling Shendan Peak is an inner gate mountain that focuses on alchemy, so many matters on the mountain are biased towards alchemists, and the same is true for the acquisition of skills.

Of course, for Yang Xuan at this time, he was not in a hurry to obtain the subsequent methods of cultivation. After all, he had not yet started practicing the visualization diagram of nourishing the spirit, and he had not yet received the method of containing the divine weapon.

Those are the subsequent techniques that he will practice after he has mastered the basics of practicing the Netherworld Fire Visualization Diagram. It is of no use for him to practice them in advance, and it will affect his absorption of the spirit.

The spirit in the exercises is very helpful for practicing the exercises. Moreover, the elders in the Dan Pavilion and the Library also reminded them at that time, so Yang Xuan had not yet absorbed the spirit of the divine weapon level.

People still need to listen to advice, and Yang Xuan did a good job in this regard. After all, when he knew nothing, it would not be wrong to listen to the advice of the elders in the sect.

"In one year, it will be the sect competition that takes place every five years. I wonder how many masters will appear among the inner disciples this time."

"I remember that in the last sect competition, the top ten people were promoted to core disciples!"

When Yang Xuan walked out of the Rising Sun Pavilion, he heard the old disciples talking about the sect competition.

This is the grand competition in the entire Zifu Holy Land, and it is also a place to showcase what one has learned over the years. People with strong strength can also use this opportunity to obtain more resources for cultivation. After all, the better the ranking in the sect competition, the more rewards one can get from the sect.

The larger inner gate peaks will also reward those disciples who perform outstandingly.

Some people were previously unknown, but they would suddenly demonstrate their strength during the sect competition and then rise rapidly.

"Those people are basically masters who are about to be promoted to the Yun Shen Bing realm, or even masters who are already at the Yun Shen Bing realm, but they have not taken the core disciple assessment yet."

"The sect competition still has to be held at the inner sect peaks such as Qinglu Tiandao Peak and Yinsan Huanjian Peak. The inner sect disciples trained there are extremely powerful and have experienced the most actual combat. Basically, every sect competition is held at these inner sect peaks."

"Our Juling Shendan Peak is not bad either, and we can basically occupy a place in the top ten."

"These are basically the best of the Dharma Protectors, and they are trained by the top leaders."

"That's true. You and I can basically only watch the show!"

"It's still early in the year, and there's no point in talking about these topics. It's better to focus more on the easy external tasks, earn more sect contribution points, and improve your martial arts skills. Then you may be able to perform well."

When it comes to the sect competition, these people have more topics to talk about.

This is also the most talked about topic in Zifu Holy Land recently.

Yang Xuan had heard about it after joining the Zifu Holy Land, so he was not surprised to hear it now. Normally, this had nothing to do with them, the new disciples.

After all, in more than a year, how much can the martial arts skills be improved? The gap between them and those disciples who have joined the Zifu Holy Land for more than ten or twenty years is very large, and they are no match at all.

Therefore, even if their new disciples took part in the sect competition, they would only be runners-up and might not even pass the selection at the Gathering Spirit Pill Peak.

The sect competition is a battle between the inner sect disciples in the Zifu Holy Land, so the participants of the sect competition will be selected first at the major inner sect mountains.

Those who have poor fighting ability naturally have no need to participate, otherwise they would be embarrassed in front of the entire sect. It would be better for them to participate and watch the battle.

And for Yang Xuan, this is actually an opportunity, a chance to prove his strength. In more than a year, as long as he can practice the Netherworld Fire Visualization Diagram, he will be able to improve his martial arts skills, and then he will be no worse than others.

If possible, he naturally wouldn't want to miss it. Since he could show his strength and quickly become famous in the Zifu Holy Land, he could also obtain more resources for cultivation.

These days in the Zifu Holy Land, he also discovered that only by showing his own potential can he obtain more cultivation resources. The greater the potential, the more cultivation resources he can obtain.

Mu Siqi, the new disciple who joined the Purple Mansion Holy Land with them at the beginning, possessed a spiritual sword body. During this period, he not only received instruction from the elder of Yinsanhuanjian Peak, but also obtained cultivation resources comparable to those of the core disciples, and his martial arts skills also improved rapidly.

The reason why Yang Xuan knew all this was because some people were talking about Mu Siqi's spiritual sword body. After all, she was the only spiritual body among their batch of new disciples, and was directly accepted as a disciple by the elder of Yinsanhuan Sword Peak. She was also a cold beauty, so many people paid close attention to her.

Naturally, word of what happened to Mu Siqi spread, and even at the Juling Shendan Peak, many people were talking about her.

Not only the new disciples but also the old disciples were paying attention to Mu Siqi. After all, with Mu Siqi's potential and the many cultivation resources she had obtained, it wouldn't take long for her to rise up and even threaten them.

The many cultivation resources provided in the Zifu Holy Land are limited, and one needs to participate in the competition. Mu Siqi is the potential contender, so she is treated as a competitor.

Of course, some people have other ideas.

After all, Mu Siqi's potential is more than just that of an inner disciple. Most people think that she has a high chance of being promoted to a true disciple, which is an extremely high status in the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

Even if a true disciple fails to advance further in the future, as long as he obtains the true teachings of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, he can at least become an elder-level figure, or even higher.

Therefore, if you can find such a backer, the road ahead will naturally be smooth.

A cool beauty, she is also loved by many people.

Naturally, as more people started talking about it, Yang Xuan would also hear it.

After all, this was a prominent figure among the new disciples of the Purple Mansion Holy Land. However, as far as Yang Xuan knew, this prominent figure, Mu Siqi, had not yet made any qualitative improvement in his martial arts cultivation.

Although there is no distinction between the early, middle, late and peak stages of the state of nurturing the spirit, there are corresponding standards, and these standards still depend on the spirit being nurtured.

If we judge Mu Siqi's martial arts skills from this aspect, he is still in the early stage of cultivating his spirit and has not made any qualitative improvement.

This is also related to the fact that these people have only recently obtained the main cultivation method. Even with the personal guidance of the elders and many auxiliary cultivation resources that can improve the progress of cultivation, it is impossible to make a qualitative improvement in just over two months.

As for Yang Xuan, his martial arts skills have undergone a qualitative transformation. He can be said to have reached the middle stage of nourishing the spirit and will, and his progress in practice has surpassed Mu Siqi's.

No one knew this except Yang Xuan himself.

It’s not that he wanted to hide it, but there was no suitable opportunity to show it. Besides, it would not be of much help to him to show it at this time.

Only by showing off during the sect competition can you gain more and even find a backer.

If a person performs outstandingly, naturally people will look favorably upon him.

Yang Xuan doesn't think highly of the small groups among the inner disciples now, because they are of little help to him and there is no need to waste time on them.

Yang Xuan walked towards the cafeteria and listened to these people talking.

In the Juling Shendan Peak, if Yang Xuan wanted to hear the latest news, the best place would be the cafeteria. There would be a lot of people to talk to, especially the old disciples, who were all very well-informed.

Basically, if there is any big event happening in the Zifu Holy Land, those old disciples will definitely know it earlier than them.

In fact, it can also be heard in the Xuri Pavilion, but in the Xuri Pavilion, Yang Xuan and others can only come into contact with new disciples and alchemists for the time being.

The old disciples who have the potential for alchemy are not in the same place as them, and the content of their studies is also very different, so there is no connection between them for the time being.

It is not easy to get information from those people.

It would be better to stay in the cafeteria. After all, many people like to chat while eating, and Yang Xuan can also know some things happening in the Zifu Holy Land during the meal.

When there is no intelligence network, this method is the simplest and most convenient.

Therefore, if Yang Xuan has nothing important to do, he will basically come to the cafeteria during meal time every day.

When one is in the sect, one cannot be completely ignorant of what is happening here. This will also allow him to have a better judgment of the situation in the Zifu Holy Land.

If something happens that affects him, he will be the first to react and prepare in advance.

Although this possibility is not great, after all, there are very few major events that affect these new disciples. Even if some tasks need to be assigned, they will not be given to these new disciples, but to the old disciples. After all, the old disciples know more, are stronger, and have more experience, so they can be more reassuring when doing things.

Generally speaking, the cost-effectiveness of new disciples is not high, and they still need to study in the Zifu Holy Land.

In the cafeteria, although there is still a year to go before the sect competition that takes place every five years, many people have already made preparations in advance and have prepared various martial arts in order to become famous in the sect competition.

Of course, some people are just bragging.

After all, even old disciples may not be able to participate in the sect competition. Before the competition among the major inner sects in the Purple Mansion Holy Land, they were eliminated in the competition at the Gathering Spirit Pill Peak.

Those who are finally able to participate in the sect competition are all outstanding ones. Their martial arts skills are not weak among the inner disciples and are not far from the realm of Yun Divine Weapon.

There are even people who, after breaking through the Divine Weapon Realm, will not take the core disciple assessment, but instead wait for the sect competition, because the rewards offered in the sect competition are very generous.

The value of these rewards is higher than being promoted to a core disciple as soon as possible.

Of course, there will be restrictions. A master of the Divine Weapon who participated in the last sect competition will not be able to participate in the next sect competition.

This is also the restriction made by the top leaders of Zifu Holy Land to deal with this situation. After all, the purpose of setting up the sect competition is to cultivate outstanding disciples and help those outstanding disciples go further, rather than to stop these outstanding disciples from moving forward.

At the same time, corresponding training resources will be distributed according to the age of becoming a core disciple. Simply put, the earlier you are promoted to a core disciple, the more rewards you can get from the sect.

If you delay for one or two years, the reward you can get will be reduced.

Therefore, there will be a certain way of comparison. The cultivation resources obtained by being promoted to a core disciple within one or two years are of similar value to those obtained in the sect competition. It is best to be within a year, which will be more cost-effective.

As for the inner gate peaks that want to obtain a certain number of places in the sect competition and train outstanding disciples, they must also abide by this rule.

There are restrictions on inner sect disciples, and naturally there are also restrictions on high-level figures in the inner sect mountains.

Therefore, normally speaking, even if there are masters at the level of Yun Shen Bing in the sect competition, they will be restricted to the competition for about a year. If any inner sect mountain violates the rules, the corresponding training resources will naturally be reduced.

The method is simple, but very effective.

Therefore, if Yang Xuan wants to perform well in the sect competition and compete for the top ten position, he basically needs to be promoted to the Divine Weapon Level.

Among the inner disciples, not every one can break through to the Divine Weapon realm in their twenties or thirties. Some people make breakthroughs in their martial arts only after becoming managers or deacons.

Therefore, anyone who wants to perform well in the sect competition must be outstanding among his peers. If he is an ordinary person, he will not have the opportunity to perform.

Of course, this ordinary is also relative. After all, these people who came from all over the place are the best in their respective regions. However, among the many geniuses in the Zifu Holy Land, many of them are relatively mediocre, so they are called ordinary people.

This is the same as the fact that people who excel in studying in towns and villages are not on the same level as people who excel in studying in provincial capitals.

After all, an outstanding person among a hundred people and an outstanding person among ten thousand people are not on the same level.

Yang Xuan was eating dinner, listening to the conversations of the old disciples nearby and the topics that concerned him. When he had almost finished eating, Yang Xuan left the cafeteria.

For him, these pieces of information were just for listening, and what was more important to him now was practicing and refining pills.
