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

"What?! The demonic cultivators of the Yin Sha Sect have actually seized the spirit stone mine of my Qingyun Sect!" As soon as the white-robed elder finished speaking, a chorus of exclamations arose from the crowd.

A sect's spirit stone mine is a matter of life and death for the entire sect. If the Qingyun Sect, with its hundreds of thousands of disciples, were to lose its spirit stone mine, the entire sect would be immediately destroyed.

The fact that the demonic cultivators of the Yin Sha Sect dared to seize the spirit stone mines of the Qingyun Sect, does it also foreshadow whether the demons of the Yin Sha Sect will attack the Qingyun Sect?

If war breaks out between the two sects, what will Qingyun Sect use to resist these demons?

"Outer disciples, listen to my command! The peak masters of the seventy-two peaks will select a group of outer disciples to go to the Xiaosongpo spirit stone mine to seize the stones." The white-robed elder didn't waste any words and immediately gave the order.

Upon receiving this order, the outer disciples' expressions instantly changed.

This is going to be a war.

Chen Huai'an, standing in the crowd, also frowned. If the two factions were to clash, they would be thrown into the battlefield.

If war breaks out between the two sects, the ordinary disciples will suffer the most and will definitely be at the forefront.

Chen Huai'an wanted to stay in the outer sect for a while, develop his strength stealthily, but he never expected that less than a month after becoming an outer sect disciple, he would encounter the Yin Sha Sect's invasion of the Qingyun Sect.

However, Chen Huai'an had a premonition about this, so after a brief shock, he remained relatively calm, unlike the other outer disciples who were bewildered and at a loss.

Even if it's just going to the battlefield, with Chen Huai'an's current abilities, if he can't win, can't he at least avoid it?

If he encounters a powerful opponent, he can simply enter the purple gourd space to hide, and then return to the surface after the crisis has passed.

In fact, what Chen Huai'an didn't know was that when the outer sect elders announced the order, the situation was far more critical than they had imagined.

Just as Qin Muyao rushed back to Qingyun Sect, Yinsha Sect made corresponding arrangements for the matter.

The Yin Sha Sect struck first, directly seizing the Qingyun Sect's mines and injuring a large number of Qingyun Sect disciples.

While Chen Huai'an was in seclusion cultivating in the space, the disciples of Qingyun Sect and Yinsha Sect had several small-scale clashes, and Qingyun Sect suffered considerable losses.

Afterwards, Chen Huai'an learned from the person in charge that Qingyun Sect would be adopting a voluntary registration system and mandatory allocation in order to deal with the invasion of Yinsha Sect.

Voluntary registration is easy to understand. As long as you feel strong enough, you can go to the battlefield to kill enemies. Through fighting enemies, you can get a lot of sect contribution points, as well as spirit stones and pills.

As for mandatory allocation, the sect will make corresponding adjustments based on the candidates who voluntarily sign up.

If the number of disciples participating in the battle is too small, the sect will forcibly conscript a group of disciples to go to the front line.

Regardless of the method, Chen Huai'an did not want to get involved in the methods of the Yin Sha Sect disciples, as he was quite familiar with them.

Although he had killed several Yin Sha Sect disciples, he did not dare to be complacent.

The two wars were not fought out of mere bravado.

In particular, large-scale invasions are most likely to result in friendly fire, and if one is unlucky enough to encounter a high-level cultivator, the entire group could be wiped out.

High-level cultivators generally do not attack low-level cultivators, but this only applies to righteous sects; demonic cultivators are not included.

Normal people would be extremely afraid of demonic cultivators.

"Have you heard? Any disciple who volunteers to participate in the battle will receive a thousand sect contribution points, and in order to encourage more disciples to sign up, they will also be able to enter the Scripture Pavilion to choose a cultivation technique." Chen Huai'an had just returned to the courtyard when he heard several outer sect disciples nearby discussing the matter of volunteering to participate in the battle.

A thousand sect contribution points is a huge sum for an ordinary outer sect disciple. But what excites them even more is that as long as they register, they can enter the Scripture Pavilion to choose a cultivation technique.

There is a big difference between the outer sect's library and scripture library. The library is only for the outer sect's menial disciples and there are no good things inside.

However, the Scripture Pavilion is different. It contains a large number of supernatural powers and cultivation techniques, which are treasures that many outer disciples and even inner disciples covet.

Entering the Scripture Pavilion requires contribution points, 10,000 sect contribution points per visit. This is just the entry threshold; however, selecting cultivation techniques within requires additional contribution points.

Chen Huai'an was also very envious of the supernatural powers and cultivation techniques in the Scripture Pavilion. However, he had only just entered the outer sect, had not completed the sect's missions, and did not have many contribution points. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to acquire cultivation techniques upon entering the Scripture Pavilion; he could manage as long as he mastered the basic Five Elements spells.

But now that he heard that as long as he volunteered to go on the expedition, he could get a thousand sect contribution points and the opportunity to enter the Scripture Pavilion to choose cultivation techniques, Chen Huai'an didn't want to miss it.

1 energy contribution points would be enough for Chen Huai'an to save for a long time. But he was determined to seize the opportunity to enter the Scripture Pavilion and choose cultivation techniques simply by registering.

Furthermore, if there aren't many disciples who volunteer to participate in the battle, the sect will conscript them. If a disciple has connections, background, or powerful backers within the sect, they will definitely not be conscripted. So, the remaining disciples are those without background or power to rely on.

Chen Huai'an came from a humble background and was very likely to be conscripted into the army.

"Rather than being passively selected, I might as well take the initiative and give it a shot." Chen Huai'an gritted his teeth.

Chen Huai'an wasn't sure if there were any spots available at any time, so he didn't dare to delay and went to the Mission Hall to register.

"Huh, isn't it supposed to be that as long as you sign up and volunteer to participate, you can get a thousand sect contribution points and a chance to enter the Scripture Pavilion to choose a cultivation technique? Why are there so few disciples signing up?" Chen Huai'an arrived at the mission hall and saw that there were only a few people there. He frowned. Things were not as simple as he had imagined.

Chen Huai'an did not rashly sign up in advance; he also wanted to see what was going on.

Through subtle questioning, Chen Huai'an learned that the 1,000 sect contribution points were real, and the entry into the Scripture Pavilion was also real. However, the selection of cultivation techniques was not as free as he had imagined; it was only available on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

What good cultivation techniques could the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion possibly have? They'd only be some suitable for disciples at the Qi Refining stage. Such news would only attract these newly initiated outer disciples; any outer disciple with power, background, or backing wouldn't be moved.

Regardless of the reason, this benefit is exactly what Chen Huai'an needs right now.

The invasion of the Yin Sha Sect served as a wake-up call for Chen Huai'an. Having more means of self-preservation was a good thing, but what he feared most was that if a large-scale war broke out, he would become cannon fodder if he had no means of self-preservation.

He cannot contend with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he must be able to contend with a Qi Refining cultivator.

"Senior brother, will the disciples who sign up for the battle receive a thousand sect contribution points and a chance to enter the Scripture Pavilion?" Chen Huai'an strode over to the registration desk.

"What is your cultivation level?" the disciple in charge of registration asked Chen Huai'an.

"Reporting to Senior Brother, I've reached the first level of Qi Refining," Chen Huai'an replied calmly.

"You've reached the first level of Qi Refining. Are you aware that the sect's rewards this time are very generous? You should also be aware of the risks behind them, right?" The disciple frowned.

Those who just signed up all had a cultivation level of at least the third level of the early stage of Qi Refining, and there were two experts in the middle stage of Qi Refining. But Chen Huai'an, who just broke through to the first level of Qi Refining, is the first one.
