In the main hall of the courtyard, Cheng Ling stood upright.
"Yes, the aura is mellow and restrained. You have reached such a state just after breaking through the Nascent Soul. You have laid a very solid foundation!"
"Thank you, Master, for the compliment!"
"Are you here to redeem your reward today?"
"good."
"Give me your disciple token!"
Cheng Ling handed over the disciple token. The master of the hospital glanced at it and took out his identity token. As soon as the two tokens came into contact, he threw it back to him and said: "Although you have become the number one in the outer sect, you should not let Song Qi fall into the inner demons. In the future, , I’m afraid life in the inner sect will be difficult!”
Cheng Ling said calmly: "It doesn't matter. It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided!"
"That's all, I will say hello to the master of the inner gate and try to get some for you. This is the token to enter the warehouse. With this token, you can choose a treasure in the warehouse at will!"
"Thank you, Master!" Cheng Ling bowed and took it, then turned and left.
The master of the academy looked at his leaving figure and said softly: "Young and tenacious, if he grows up, he will indeed be the backbone of the academy."
Cheng Ling held the two tokens in his hand and slowly walked towards the Treasury Hall. Among the disciple tokens, the contribution points are over 2 million, and the achievement points have also risen to 20,000, which should be able to support the inner sect for a long time.
Judging from the attitudes of Fu Qingsong and the hospital master, Song Qi's brother Song Rui is not weak and may bring some trouble to him. After entering the inner courtyard, you must find ways to improve your cultivation as soon as possible.
If you want to quickly improve your cultivation, the assistance of external objects is essential. There are some spiritual fruits in my storage ring, but unfortunately there are no Nascent Soul stage elixirs. Maybe they can be found in the outer courtyard's warehouse, but if that doesn't work, I can go to the inner gate and exchange them for materials to refine them myself.
Unfortunately, the materials in Famous Sword Academy are very different from those in Canglanghai, and there is no suitable elixir recipe. There is a fourth-grade alchemy path, but it cannot be used. I can only take one step at a time.
He thought as he walked, and soon reached the Treasury Hall. After showing the master's token to the elder deacon, the other party said, "What treasure are you looking for?"
Cheng Ling pondered for a while and asked, "Do you have a library to collect secret books?"
"Follow me." The elder deacon said and led Cheng Ling in.
The treasure house is very large. Along the way, there are many rooms. Each door is closed and marked with a seal. It is impossible to see clearly with one's spiritual sense. I don't know what is there.
After burning a stick of incense, the deacon elder took Cheng Ling to a long corridor. There were many rooms on both sides of the long corridor, but they were not sealed and were opened directly. The elder said: "These rooms are filled with secret books. You can choose whatever you want. I will wait for you outside the door!"
"Thank you, elder!"
After the elder left, Cheng Ling walked into one of the rooms. There are rows of bookshelves in the room, and the bookshelves are full of secret books. The side of the bookshelf is marked with small wooden signs, such as swordsmanship, martial arts, body skills, footwork, etc.
Cheng Ling's eyes lit up, footwork? He had never come across a footwork secret book before, so he walked forward, took out a book and started reading. What is recorded in it is indeed footwork, which is different from bodywork. It mainly focuses on the transformation of steps between square inches, which is very useful in close combat.
But for Cheng Ling, these footwork levels were too low. After reading a few books, he lost interest. Turning around, he took out a book from Shenfa's bookshelf and flipped through it. After reading a few books, I found that the level was not high, not even as good as the divine thunderbolt.
He wondered in his heart whether there were only low-grade secret books in the academy's library. Remembering that there were several rooms in the corridor, he walked out and walked towards the other rooms.
When I arrived at the door of the room, I woke up
, It turns out that there is a grade outside the door indicating the secret book collected inside. I had only entered the high-grade human level area before, so no wonder the grade was so low.
With a clear direction, it was easier to handle. He went directly to the door of the middle-level room at the prefecture level, which was also the innermost room. There was only one row of bookshelves in the room, and there were very few secret books, less than half of them. Cheng Ling also saw the Jin Ling swordsmanship that he had contributed.
Fortunately, there are two secret books on the bookshelf in the Shenfa row. I took it over and looked through it one by one. One is the "Crane Traveling Ten Thousand Miles" movement technique. After practicing it, you will be like a spiritual crane and can travel thousands of miles in a day. The biggest feature of this technique is that the Qi pulse is long and suitable for long-distance use.
The other one was just a fragment, with the words "Sword Wings" written on the cover. This is a supporting skill for sword cultivation. After initial practice, you can grow a pair of illusory wings on your back, and then through the cultivation of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they can finally become a real thing.
The instantaneous explosive power and short-range impact of this skill are very strong, but unfortunately it is incomplete. The subsequent method of upgrading the sword wings is lost, and at best it can only be condensed into a physical object. Otherwise, the value of the skills would be great. Growth-promoting skills have always been the treasure of various cultivation forces.
If it were complete, it would be at least heaven level. Cheng Ling thought for a long time and finally decided to redeem this technique. In the future, he might be able to collect the remaining chapters.
After leaving the warehouse, Cheng Ling came to the disciple assessment office. The Disciple Assessment Office is responsible for the promotion, recruitment, academy competition, etc. of all disciples in the academy. It's just that he has only been in for a short time and has not had the opportunity to experience the disciple competition. He can only encounter it when he goes to the inner sect.
The person on duty in the Disciple Assessment Office today was Jian Laodao. He looked at Cheng Ling, smiled happily, and said, "I have been paying attention to your growth since the three levels of Famous Sword. It is indeed good. You have practiced in just over a month." After becoming the sword spirit, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, I will soon enter the inner gate again."
Cheng Ling was grateful, knowing that she had misunderstood the old man. If it weren't for him, he might not be able to get the attention of the master of the hospital, nor would he be able to obtain the Sword Wing Body Technique. He bowed and said sincerely to Jian Laodao: "Thank you, elder, for taking care of me. Cheng Ling is grateful."
Jian Laodao laughed and said: "It's your own efforts, I didn't help you. You must be careful when entering the inner sect. There are many talented disciples in the inner sect, and the forces are intertwined. Only when you get there is the fight for the outer sect begun. The door is just a transition!"
"Yes, thank you elder for your advice."
"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. For outer sect disciples to enter the inner sect, cultivation is a requirement. What's more important is strength. Otherwise, you can pile up several Nascent Soul stages just by relying on pills. Therefore, promotion Assessment is essential.”
"I understand."
"Okay, then come with me!"
The old swordsman took Cheng Ling to a hall. The hall was originally very empty, but there were many puppet swordsmen in it, occupying various key points according to rules. In the middle of the puppet swordsmen, a passage was drawn with a white line, with twists and turns. Back to the entrance.
Jian Laodao said: "This is the disciple promotion assessment point. You only need to follow the fixed route to the designated area within half an hour to pass."
Cheng Ling nodded to express his understanding.
"are you ready?"
"Ready!"
"start!"
Jian Laodao gave an order, and Cheng Ling rushed into the white lines from the exit. As soon as he passed by, the puppet swordsmen moved and attacked him one by one.
Cheng Ling took a look and saw that the swordsmanship used by these swordsmen was not of a high level, much weaker than those in the Kendo Tower, and the aura they exuded was only that of Jindan Perfect.
He goes all the way,
Without stopping, those swordsmen were unable to stop him. In less than a stick of incense, they walked around the hall and passed the test easily.
Master Jian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Congratulations on passing the exam. Now, follow me to the inner gate area!"
"yes!"
The old swordsman moved his hand, and a flying puppet was taken out from the ring. The puppet is quite large and its back is spacious enough to carry a dozen disciples. Jian Laodao signaled Cheng Ling to come to the puppet's back, took out a few spiritual stones from the ring, and embedded them in the mechanism on the back.
The puppet beast's wings swung up and down, causing a gust of wind to blow in all directions. Gradually, it began to rise into the sky, its speed gradually increased, and it disappeared in an instant.
Cheng Ling felt a faint sting on his skin when facing the wind coming from the shop. Jian Laodao explained: "This is a puppet beast passed down from ancient times. There are not many academies, there are only about sixty of them. They are very fast and can rival the god-transforming monks."
Cheng Ling praised: "I don't know who is so skilled in craftsmanship that he can make such a puppet beast."
"The Canglan Continent is very huge, and the south is just a corner. Our field of vision is too small. It is said that the central area of the Canglan Continent has trillions of monks, and that is the paradise of monks. This puppet beast is where the first generation of the academy master trained Proceeds.”
"But don't worry. With your talents and qualifications, it is very possible to break out of this corner of the world and go to a wider world."
Cheng Ling's face was full of yearning. A place like that must be full of treasures! I must find a way to go there once in this life.
The two of them talked freely all the way, and the puppet beast was very fast. Before long, they saw a large group of mountains below their feet, and many buildings could be vaguely seen in the mountains.
Jian Laodao commanded the puppet beast and flew towards the buildings in the mountain range.
After a while, the two landed on a large square. Before they stopped, a young man in white came over and said, "I have seen Elder Jian. Is this a disciple who has passed the examination?"
"That's right. Just take him to go through the formalities! Cheng Ling, you go with him, and I'll go back first."
"Yes, thank you elder!"
The sword boss waved his hand, and the puppet beast spread its wings and disappeared into the air in an instant.
The deacon's disciple Jin Danxiu said to Cheng Ling: "Brother, please follow me!"
Cheng Ling followed him towards the depths of the building. The disciple introduced as he walked: "This is the martial arts square of the inner sect. Daily competitions and important events of the sect are concentrated here. I will take you to the registration office first. After changing the identity token, senior brother can see what's inside." Map of the gate area.”
Cheng Ling asked: "How many inner disciples are there?"
"There are probably more than 200,000 disciples in the inner sect of our Kendo Academy. The number of disciples in other martial arts academies and the Fa Dao Academy is about the same."
"Oh, are the disciples of the three houses in the inner gate area also separated?"
"That's not true. The inner gate area is huge, several times that of the outer gate. Therefore, the monks from the three courtyards are all together, but they live in different places!"
"Disciples of our Kendo Academy generally wear flying sword uniforms. The robes worn by the Fa Dao Academy are very colorful. As for the martial arts academy, they wear samurai uniforms, which are easy to identify."
Cheng Ling was startled. The larger the areas, the more they should be separated. Why are the three courtyards put together at the inner gate? The ideas of the academy's senior officials are really strange.
But when you get to the inner gate, you have to be careful. Most of the people in the Cheng family are in the Fa Dao Courtyard, and they are still out of reach at the outer gate. Now that the three courtyards are all together, they are bound to meet. But that’s fine, your cultivation life will definitely be more exciting in the future!
