You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"If you want to build your own cave dwelling, you need someone to take you in. What are your qualifications? I'll report it to see which peak master is willing to take you in. You can build your own cave dwelling on that peak. If no one takes you in, you can only go to District A and find an empty courtyard to live in." The disciple explained casually after hearing Chen Huai'an's mutterings.

"Senior brother, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it." As Chen Huai'an spoke, he took out a low-grade spirit stone from his storage bag and handed it to the other party.

The disciple weighed the low-grade spirit stone that Chen Huai'an handed him in his hand, and then said with a smile.

"When you registered to enter the sect, they tested your spiritual root and talent, right? What kind of spiritual root and talent do you have? If your spiritual root is superior and your talent is decent, you can choose an empty cave dwelling among the seventy-two peaks of the outer sect. If you don't find one that suits you, you can also choose a place on your own peak and build one yourself."

Having received benefits from Chen Huai'an, the disciple naturally spoke his mind without reservation.

He quickly understood what was going on after the other party explained it to him.

When the other party learned that he had a low-grade talent with mixed five elements, although he didn't say anything, he could tell from the other party's expression what the outcome would be. However, since he had paid a low-grade spirit stone for his help, he didn't show any impatience.

"Junior Brother Chen, with your aptitude, the top-ranked members of the 72 Outer Peaks will not accept you, much less allow you to live there. Your presence would negatively impact their overall strength. If you don't want to live in the public areas and want to establish your own space, you can only go to places with less spiritual energy. However, these places have less spiritual energy, resulting in slower cultivation speed. When the 72 Outer Peaks Grand Competition comes around, you'll obtain fewer cultivation resources. I think you should already know the consequences."

"Senior brother, is it possible not to join any peak?" Chen Huai'an hadn't expected this situation.

Everyone says that the outer sect members receive excellent treatment, but after hearing what they said, I'm worried about the actual benefits!

"You can choose not to join any side, but you will not be able to obtain any cultivation resources."

After the other party's explanation, Chen Huai'an realized that if he wanted to stay outside, he had to join a powerful sect. The strength of that sect would determine how many cultivation resources he could obtain each month.

The top-ranked peaks can obtain a large amount of cultivation resources from the sect.

The sect holds a grand competition once a year, which is mainly based on the peaks. The peak that wins first place can take over some of the sect's profitable industries. The more industries and the more money they make, the more cultivation resources the disciples under that peak can obtain.

As for those mountains with the lowest strength, they are ranked low and the sects assign them dirty and tiring tasks with low pay. They work themselves to the bone every day and receive very few cultivation resources.

As for those who don't join the seventy-two outer peaks, doing so cuts off the path of becoming a disciple. Without the support of a cave dwelling, their cultivation speed is slow, they don't have many cultivation resources, and they are often bullied by disciples from other peaks.

The peak masters of the seventy-two outer peaks are all at the Foundation Establishment stage. They wield considerable power, each possessing their own lineage. Upon breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, they can enter the inner sect as elders, becoming core members of the sect's leadership.

"Senior brother, which peak do you recommend I join?" Chen Huai'an asked after a moment's thought.

"With your qualifications and cultivation level, even if you wanted to join one of the last 72 peaks, no one would want you. You should go to the public area and cultivate step by step. Once your cultivation level breaks through to the fourth level of the mid-stage Qi Refining Realm, a peak master will naturally recruit you and invite you to join." The disciple explained with a smile.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, senior brother." After listening to the other party's explanation, Chen Huai'an felt he had learned something.

Having an independent cave dwelling is good, but you have to have the right to choose and there are many restrictions. As for the benefits you gain, they are negligible.

As for why Chen Huai'an wanted a cave to cultivate in, it was simply for peace and quiet. Those powerful peak cultivators, on the other hand, have many businesses to manage and are frequently on missions.

Going there would actually interfere with Chen Huai'an's cultivation; it would be better to stay in a public area.

No matter where you cultivate, it's still cultivation, provided you have enough cultivation resources.

Next, Chen Huai'an went to the public area of ​​Building A outside the gate.

There is a cluster of buildings here, rows upon rows of buildings, all neat and uniform.

In this area, each independent courtyard is protected by an array, which also protects the privacy of the disciples.

"Senior brother, are you looking for a place to stay? There's a map here. The gray dots are uninhabited." As soon as Chen Huai'an approached, a handyman disciple at the Body Refinement Realm looked at him respectfully.

"Can we choose any of these gray dots?" Chen Huai'an asked.

"I'm in charge of area A. The gray dots marked on this map are all unclaimed; you can choose whichever you like," the handyman explained with a smile.

"Here, this is a reward for you." Chen Huai'an tossed a low-grade body-refining pill to the other party as he spoke.

The handyman disciple happily accepted the pills Chen Huai'an tossed to him. "Thank you, Senior Brother, thank you, Senior Brother."

"Senior brother, there are many empty courtyards in the Grade A area, but these courtyards are also divided into different grades. You see, these courtyards are built right next to Tianquan Peak, and the front areas are built on spiritual veins. Cultivating in these rooms will be twice as effective. And look at these gray dotted areas in the back. The spiritual energy here is very thin. Unless there is a shortage of rooms, no one will choose them."

After the other party's explanation, Chen Huai'an could see that there was indeed an area in the Jia-grade area that was full of people.

Chen Huai'an needed peace and quiet to cultivate without being disturbed. Although the upper area was nice, it would be noisy with many people. The middle area was not crowded, and the lower area was quite remote and almost deserted.

"I want this." Chen Huai'an selected a gray dot on the map. This area was the end area, and no one lived nearby.

"Okay, senior brother, I'll register you right away." Although the handyman disciple was a little puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions. He took the waist token from Chen Huai'an and immediately started the registration process.

"Chen Huai'an, what are you doing here? You little brat, I've been looking all over for you." Chen Huai'an had just finished the formalities and was about to go to his residence when an inappropriate voice rang in his mind.

"Zhang Tao." Chen Huai'an turned around and saw who it was.

It really is a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road; I ran into my old nemesis on my very first day as an outer disciple.

"Useless trash, what kind of thing are you? How dare you address Senior Brother Zhang by his name?" A burly man next to Zhang Tao pointed at Chen Huai'an and cursed him.

During this time, many people on Zayi Peak have been looking for Chen Huai'an, but he seems to have vanished and cannot be found at all.

"You little brat, you think you can get away with this just because you took on a mission and hid in the outer gate?" Zhang Tao said coldly, staring at Chen Huai'an.
