Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 377 Chrysanthemum Shadow Club

After walking around, the two of them went to the dining hall to eat something and experience the holy land cuisine that has always been talked about.

The entire dining hall seemed extremely spacious, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of disciples, and there were dozens of such dining halls throughout Tianjian City.

As soon as the two entered, they saw many outer disciples there, in groups of three or five, either eating or talking about martial arts and sect missions.

When Zhong Lin and Chu Yu sat down, in front of them was a square sandalwood table with an antique feel and various patterns carved into it. A refreshing fragrance filled the air.

Zhong Lin didn't feel anything, he just felt that the table and chairs were very comfortable to sit on.

Chu Yu reached out and gently stroked it, sighing, "Golden-veined and golden-threaded wood. Outside, only the royal family and marquisates are qualified to enjoy it. A small piece is worth a fortune. I didn't expect that here it would just be a table for people to eat."

Zhong Lin smiled and said, "Being able to buy it with gold means it's of no benefit to warriors. What's the big deal?"

Chu Yu looked at Zhong Lin in surprise and exclaimed, "I am obsessed with appearances. I am not as far-sighted as you. It is true. For warriors, elixirs and spirit stones are the only valuable things. So-called gold and silver are just dirt."

Chu Yu had a higher opinion of Zhong Lin. Many independent martial artists could not see through gold and silver and were addicted to pleasure. This was one of the reasons why independent martial artists could not compare with the disciples of the sect. However, she did not expect Zhong Lin to see so clearly.

"It's nothing profound or not. It's just that in my hometown, as long as you are strong enough, you can have money, beauties and everything else. On the contrary, spirit stones are scarce. If this dining table could only be purchased with spirit stones, I probably wouldn't have such a reaction." Zhong Lin said.

"Haha, Brother Zhong is really honest."

As soon as the two of them sat down, a servant ran up quickly and respectfully handed them a menu.

Chu Yu simply picked a few items and handed them back. After a while, the servant brought up a tray with four dishes and a soup.

Every dish exudes a fresh aroma, and just the smell will whet your appetite.

"Taste it."

Zhong Lin didn't hesitate and picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and started eating.

It is soft but not sticky, fat but not greasy. The most important thing is that as the food enters the mouth, a faint vitality emanates from it, and with a slight twist it flows directly into the Xuandan.

The dual effects of deliciousness and vitality elevate the quality of the entire dish.

"Well, it really lives up to its reputation." Zhong Lin praised.

"Unfortunately, for you and me, it only satisfies our appetites. The vital energy contained in it is too scarce. If we want to improve our cultivation, we need to swallow elixirs!"

Chu Yu said this, picked up the jade chopsticks, and ate the delicious food in front of her slowly and carefully.

"You keep talking about the sect's contribution. I don't know much about this. Could you elaborate on it?"

"of course can."

Chu Yu put down the jade chopsticks in her hand: "After we came to the holy land, it is useless to just practice in the sect. Whether it is elixir, practice method, or martial arts, it requires sufficient contribution in exchange. So we must go out, either to kill demons and monsters, hone our cultivation, or complete tasks in exchange for contribution.

The so-called monsters are monster beasts, and the demons are some magic warriors. As for the tasks, there are even more numerous, such as cleaning, collecting spiritual medicines, searching for minerals, guarding the medicine garden, etc. Each task has contribution points in exchange, and contribution points are equivalent to the sect's spirit stones. They can be used to exchange for martial arts skills, elixirs, and seek guidance from elders. Even if we want to be promoted to inner disciples, we also need enough contribution points.

Of course, if one can break through the Yin-Yang realm, one can directly enter the inner gate without any examination. Breaking through the Life and Death realm is the true teaching.

In the Holy Land, everything depends on contribution points. Zhong Lin, I have a sister in this Holy Land who can offer me some higher-paying quests. Would you like to join me?"

Yin and Yang realm, inner gate.

The realm of life and death, the true teaching.

Zhong Lin couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Each of these words represented the terrifying foundation of the holy land.

Because Zhong Lin's Xuandan realm cultivation level is high enough for him to be a local emperor in the Luoxing Islands. Even in the Tianhai Kingdom, a Xuandan realm cultivator can rule a region and be granted a title of nobility.

But in the Holy Land of Heavenly Sword, the Xuandan Realm is just the outer gate, and the Yin-Yang Realm is the inner gate. Only those who break through the Life and Death Realm will be qualified to become the true disciples.

What about the elders above them?

Where is the deputy leader?

Where is the sect leader?
Where is the Supreme Elder?

How strong would that be?

I never had a direct feeling about this before, but now I feel that what Long Zhao said about the destruction of Zhenhai Sect was not unfair.

"Zhong Lin, do you know anyone in the Holy Land? My elder sister is a member of the Chrysanthemum Shadow Society. These past few days, I joined the Chrysanthemum Shadow Society under her recommendation. Don't think this is snobbish. Things like this happen all the time in the outer sect of the Holy Land. Even if you don't want to take sides, there will be people who force you to.

The competition among the true disciples is extremely fierce, and any new force with potential may be the target of their recruitment.

A genius like you who has grasped the sword's essence is also very likely to be wooed. If you don't agree, they will likely cause trouble for you. If you don't want to be in trouble, you must quickly become strong and independent, but you may also be suppressed."

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhong Lin frowned and looked depressed.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem strange.

Martial arts practice is about fighting, fighting for everything that is beneficial to oneself, and establishing power can better collect resources for oneself.

But having said that, Zhong Lin just wanted to practice quietly and didn't want to get involved in these troubles.

"There is competition everywhere in the world. The larger the power, the more intense the competition. In the holy land, the competition has spread to all places, and more cruel intrigues are yet to come. The only way to escape is to practice faster. Only when you are strong enough will no one dare to suppress you. However, before you have sufficient strength, you still have to compromise. Zhong Lin, if you have nowhere else to go, I can introduce you to the Juying Society. With your talent for understanding the sword, I think you can easily join the society.

Furthermore, the president of the Juying Society is a true disciple, Senior Sister Yingju. Senior Sister Yingju's cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the Life and Death Realm, and she could enter the Nirvana Realm at any time. With Senior Sister Yingju's protection, no one dares to suppress you."

When Chu Yu mentioned Ying Ju, she looked like she was facing her idol, and her face flushed with excitement.

Zhong Lin nodded, also surprised by the toughness of the Juying Society's backers.

The peak of the Life and Death Realm! Perhaps a single glance could kill him.
