In the stands around the performance venue.
"Um?"
Zhou Qing glanced out of the corner of his eye and seemed to notice something. He turned around and saw that it was the Master of Qingzhu Courtyard who was hurriedly leaving with rumors and direct control of the escape light.
After the two left, the remaining supervisors and patrols on the high platform still gathered together in twos and threes, talking to each other with different expressions.
Zhou Qing's eyesight was amazing, and he could directly see that some supervisors and patrols were happy, some were frowning, and some were silent.
"It seems that the Master of Qingzhu Courtyard can no longer hold himself back."
Liu Songren also noticed this scene and sighed:
"If nothing unexpected happens, Senior Sister Wei Yu is likely to be directly accepted as a direct disciple by an elder of Guangfa Hall, and she will be promoted to the inner sect in one step."
"This is like a fish leaping over the dragon's gate once, and it will never be a sparrow again!"
Zhou Qing couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.
There are four ways to advance from an outer disciple to an inner disciple.
The most mainstream one is, of course, being among the top ten in the annual Outer Sect Competition and the Twelve Academy Performances, and one can gain the title of Inner Sect Disciple.
The treatment of the inner sect disciples is far inferior to that of the outer sect disciples. The reward for the top ten is a fixed "Heavenly Palace Pill", which can greatly increase the success rate of opening the Qi Palace.
The second way is to accumulate 5,000 Taoist skills and exchange them for an "Ascension Order" from the General Affairs Hall, and you can also be promoted to an inner disciple.
However, this road is not easy. Considering the trade-offs, few people will take it.
The third way is to successfully reach the Qi Mansion realm within the twenty-year period and be directly promoted to an inner disciple, but very few people can do this.
The last way is to be accepted as a direct disciple by an elder from the Three Halls and Six Halls, and reach the sky in one step.
But this road is also the most difficult. The elders of the three halls and the six halls are all in high positions, and the status of direct disciples is limited. Unless they are truly talented and look down upon the geniuses of the same level, they will rarely be able to fall into their eyes.
"It seems that the influence of Yunling-level spells is beyond my expectations..."
Zhou Qing felt quite uneasy.
There are at least hundreds of deacons in Guangfa Hall, and there are obvious differences in their positions and power.
Those who can be ranked among the twelve masters are the top ones among the many deacons of Guangfa Hall. They have profound cultivation and high positions, and most of them have backers behind them.
The Master of Qingzhu Academy is one of the twelve Academy Masters, so he is no exception. There must be support from a certain Guangfa Hall elder behind him.
Because of this, after he saw the potential of rumors, he didn't even care about the outer sect Xiao Bi, and took her away in a hurry to meet the elder behind him.
"Looking at the expressions of the other supervisors and patrols, it seems that some disputes broke out, but they were suppressed by the Master of Qingzhu Court."
"It seems that the sudden rise of Senior Sister Weiyu is also involved in the power struggle within Guangfa Hall..."
The above thoughts flashed through Zhou Qing's mind without paying too much attention.
The internal struggle of Guangfa Hall is too far away from him now, but the sensation and attention brought by Senior Sister Weiyu's reveal of Yunling-level spells are deeply engraved in his mind.
"Brother Zhou!"
Liu Songren suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhou Qing, his eyes a little complicated:
"We can only look up to Senior Sister Weiyu's achievements today, but in the future you may be on par with her, or even surpass her today!"
Zhou Qing smiled when he heard this:
"Brother Liu, don't think too highly of me."
"Brother Zhou, this is because you are too arrogant to belittle yourself."
Liu Songren shook his head and said:
"The talent you are showing now is even more dazzling than Senior Sister Weiyu!"
"In just three months, you can practice Xuanyan Technique to the third level. Even if you specialize in one area, you can be regarded as a brilliant talent!"
"Given time, you may not be able to cultivate Yunling-level spells in the Pulse Opening Realm!"
"Even if you fail to cultivate, based on the talent you are showing now, there will definitely be elders in the Sixth Hall or even the Third Hall who will favor you."
"After all, regardless of other things, with the strength of your natural soul, you may be able to open up the sea of consciousness in advance when your pulse is fully opened, and thus have the qualifications to truly control spiritual weapons. Your strength will never be much weaker than the current senior sister Weiyu. !”
"Until then, you will still be invincible to the outer sect!"
When Liu Songren said this, he paused and his tone became more determined:
"Perhaps you don't know that the sensation you caused during the last outer sect competition was not limited to the 12th outer sect."
"At least, the Master of Qingzhu Academy must have reported it to the senior management of Guangfa Hall after personally praising you as the 'Number One Talent of the Outer Sect'."
"At that time, I'm afraid the elders from the three halls and the six halls have already noticed you."
"real?"
Wu Ming on the side poked his head and asked in surprise:
"Then why till today, I haven't seen any elder come out to accept Senior Brother Zhou?"
"It's probably because the time is too short."
Liu Songren pondered for a moment and guessed:
"The path to immortality is long, and once the master-disciple relationship is established, it often takes hundreds or even thousands of years."
"And the title of direct disciple is even more extraordinary. It is often closer than the relationship between biological children and blood descendants."
"In this case, the conduct of the disciple is more important than the talent and talent. After all, no one wants to work hard to teach and raise him, and ultimately cultivate a white-eyed wolf."
"After all, Brother Zhou has only been here for a short period of time, only half a year. Moreover, he has stayed in the mountain gate and has had little experience in the world. It is difficult to see what his character is."
As he spoke, he patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder and said in a joking tone:
"Brother Zhou, you have to behave well!"
"Perhaps there is more than one elder from the Three Palaces and Six Halls watching you secretly now."
Hearing this, Zhou Qing smiled lightly and said:
"Then I'm really looking forward to it."
Unlike other disciples, he was not too enthusiastic about being accepted as a direct disciple by the elders of the Three Halls and Six Halls.
After all, with a professional panel in hand, he was confident that he would be able to soar into the sky and rise rapidly without relying on others. Having a backer behind him was at most just the icing on the cake, not a help in times of need.
"Disciples."
At this time, the supervisors and inspectors on the high platform also ended their conversations. Supervisor Shen came out and said loudly:
"That's it for this big competition, let's all let it go!"
The words fell:
The supervisors and inspectors took the lead in driving the escape light and hurried away, and naturally many disciples left the scene one after another.
…………
Deep in the bamboo sea, in the Asahi Palace.
Zhou Qing sat cross-legged in the meditation room, calmed down for a moment, and then called up the career panel.
He did not hesitate, and chose to add the hard-earned talent point to his only talent [Hard-working and Hard-working].
For a moment:
"Buzz!"
Zhou Qing's mind shook slightly, and there seemed to be light in front of his eyes.
[Hard work and hard work] This talent instantly emits golden light, and then it is like a tree trunk, extending out three branches, and at the end of the branches are three small square boxes.
"Is this the effect of letting me choose to use talent points?"
Zhou Qing had a clear understanding in his heart and immediately concentrated on looking at them one by one.
The three options after talent advancement are, from left to right:
[Work your muscles and bones]——After your physical strength is exhausted, the efficiency of skill improvement is doubled! (Talent advancement)
[Empty Body]——After the mana is exhausted, the efficiency of skill improvement is doubled! (Talent advancement)
[Thinking high] - Activate the talent [Hard-working and Hard-working] to double the efficiency of gaining professional experience! (new talent)
"..."
Zhou Qing was silent and began to weigh the pros and cons in his heart.
The first talent [Working with Strength] is the first to be eliminated, because the [Logging] skill has already been perfected and there is no way to improve it.
This causes the process of consuming physical energy to become a waste of time without gaining experience. The effect that can be exerted after the talent is advanced will be greatly reduced, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Of course:
There is more than one kind of labor in the Twelve Outer Courtyards. Theoretically, Zhou Qing can also go to the Hantan Courtyard to fetch water from the Qianzhang Hantan, or to take care of the spiritual flowers and herbs in the Baicao Courtyard, or to cultivate and cultivate the land in the Leng Mu Courtyard. Spirit field.
[Outer Disciple] In this profession, there is only one core skill [Pure Yang Kung], but there is obviously no limit to non-core skills.
But this is only theoretical. After all, he is affiliated with Qingzhuyuan. The fourth-level Queen Kaimai still insists on serving as a labor servant, which is already a borderline goal. It is only because of Shen Supervisor's respect for him that he can easily get what he wants.
Therefore, it is obviously impossible to cross the outer courtyard to forcibly serve in other courtyards. This involves the issue of the ownership rights of the outer disciples. Even if the sect rules do not prohibit it, the senior officials of Qingzhuyuan cannot agree.
This was also the real reason why he took the initiative to remove his name from the merit list. There was nothing else but that there was not much benefit from chopping the spiritual bamboo. Even without this talent advancement, he would have to adjust his subsequent training plan.
As for the second advanced route [Empty Body] and the third new talent [High Aspiration], they each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they need to be carefully considered.
"Um……"
After careful consideration, Zhou Qing finally chose the second advanced talent - [Empty Body].
The third talent [High Aspirations] is of course very good. After all, professional level is the foundation and can speed up the acquisition of professional talents. In terms of value, it is by no means lower than the other two talents.
But the problem is that his current profession has reached the full level, and there are many channels for gaining professional experience in the future, so he is not in a hurry.
on the contrary:
His current goal is to rely on his own experience to practice Xuanyan Technique to the fourth level in the shortest time. The effect of [emptying his body] is extremely amazing and can provide him with the greatest help.
In the process of practicing spells, his mana will inevitably be exhausted again and again, and combined with the effect of [Empty Body], the efficiency of practicing [Pure Yang Kung Fu] can be increased to three times the original!
In this way, his cultivation level will quickly catch up, saving a lot of time and skill point consumption.
"That's you!"
After Zhou Qing made up his mind, he no longer hesitated and focused his thoughts directly on the second branch.
Instant time:
After a surge of golden light, the other two forks suddenly dimmed, leaving only the square frame on the second fork blooming with layers of golden light.
After the golden light ended, the original talent column of [Hard-working and Hardworking] disappeared, replaced by a new talent - [Empty Body].
The career panel also refreshes the prompt:
congratulations! One of your talents has advanced!
Your talent [Hard-working and Hardworking] has been upgraded to [Empty Body]!
Zhou Qing glanced at the prompt, then withdrew his attention, still thinking silently:
"After your talent is advanced, you must also formulate a new training plan..."
