Cheng Ling followed the deacon's disciples all the way to the Shuzheng Pavilion. The Shuzheng Pavilion is where the inner disciples are in charge of various chores such as disciple assessment, promotion, and outings.
The inner gate area is much more rigorous than the outer gate area. There are corresponding management places for cultivation, book collection, treasure hiding, secret realms, etc. After all, the disciples of the three academies are all together, and their daily cultivation and Taoist concepts are different. There will always be friction, and the academies can only strengthen management.
As the two walked along, Cheng Ling asked about the situation of the inner disciples. The deacon disciple explained: "The inner sect not only has inner disciples, but also core disciples, direct disciples, court attendants, etc."
"Core disciple? Personal disciple? Attendant? What is that and how to distinguish it?" Cheng Ling asked in surprise.
"The top 100 in each academy's rankings are the core disciples. Their combat power and the resources they enjoy are much higher than those of ordinary inner disciples."
"The direct disciples are the disciples accepted by the elder generation of the academy. They are not many in number, but they are very powerful. As for the academy attendants, that is the highest level of disciples. They are often powerful and maintain the security of the academy and fight foreign wars. Sometimes they also make guest appearances. Teach.”
Cheng Ling suddenly realized that he didn't expect the inner courtyard's disciples to be distinguished in such detail. One can imagine how fierce the competition would be. No wonder Jian Laodao said that the inner courtyard is the core of the academy and the beginning of the competition!
We talked freely all the way, and I don’t know how long we walked, and finally we came to Shuzheng Pavilion. The deacon disciple led Cheng Ling to an old man and bowed down and said, "Elder Wu, this is a newly promoted inner disciple, here to report."
Elder Wu nodded and said: "I understand, you go back first!"
The deacon disciple bowed and left.
Elder Wu said to Cheng Ling: "Give me your disciple token!"
Cheng Ling handed over the disciple token. Elder Wu took it, glanced at it with his consciousness, and said in surprise: "Oh? It only took more than a month to enter the inner gate from the outer gate, so fast!"
"Thank you for the compliment, elder. It's just luck."
"Well, let's choose a residence first. As a new disciple, you can only choose a residence in the yellow-lettered area. If you want to change to other areas, you can only initiate a challenge and compete for the right to residence."
"What's the difference?"
"The information in the inner courtyard area has been opened to you. Check it out for yourself when you go back! These are the vacant residences in the yellow-letter area. You choose one first." Elder Wu did not explain, pointing to a reduced version of the building in the Shuzheng Pavilion. Shapan said.
Cheng Ling looked up and saw many attics built on the sand table in front of them. They were similar in shape to the outer door, but the area was larger, almost several times the size of the outer door's residence. The most remote area among them is emitting yellow light, which must be the area with yellow characters.
Cheng Ling took a quick look and chose a relatively remote attic. Although it was remote, it was the largest one in the yellow-lettered area. The name of the attic was "Zhuyin Pavilion". The name was very elegant and completely different from the simple numbers on the outer door.
After Elder Wu waited for his confirmation, he entered a few tricks on the disciple's token and returned it to Cheng Ling. Said: "Okay, your identity information has been modified. Go to your residence first, read the instructions in the disciple token carefully, and don't violate the rules of the academy."
"Yes, thank you elder!"
Zhuyin Pavilion, the entire loft occupies a large area, five times the size of the loft No. 25,000. And it will only belong to Cheng Ling in the future. As long as no one comes to challenge, or he challenges other lofts, this will be his permanent residence.
The loft also has a large backyard, which is as large as a football field. A large bamboo forest is planted in the courtyard, surrounding a large lake. The lake is dotted with rockeries, pavilions, and corridors. A small stream runs through the middle and flows out of the attic.
Cheng Lingfa
Now, all the bamboos in the bamboo forest are sword bamboos. They are green and as warm as jade. Each leaf is like a sharp sword. The bamboo leaves seem to be covered with a layer of fluorescence, making the edges of the bamboo leaves look like the edge of a sword. Showing a faint edge.
If one bamboo leaf is nothing, the bamboo leaves in the entire bamboo forest are like this. Gradually they converge into a sword force. Feel the strong sharp breath in the air, as if thousands of sword energy are criss-crossing, and you can faintly feel the presence of sword intent. .
There are many embellished lanterns and bells hung on the edge of the attic and on the walls. The gentle breeze, coupled with the sword intention of the bamboo leaves, makes a pleasant tinkling sound from time to time.
Cheng Ling was very satisfied after seeing it. The Zhuyin Pavilion was indeed well-deserved. Meditating and practicing in such a place would also greatly assist his swordsmanship. If it hadn't been for the relatively remote location and low spiritual energy concentration, it would have been snatched away long ago.
For Cheng Ling, such a problem can be solved easily. He observed the layout of the attic and quickly deduced the formation nodes. With a wave of his hand, a large number of spirit stones flew out. Nowadays, in the academy, there is almost no need for spiritual stones, let alone being stingy, throwing away 100 million in one breath!
After placing them according to the rules, start setting up the spirit gathering formation. This formation can be different from the outer gate. At the outer gate, he knew that his stay would not be too long, so the Spirit Gathering Formation was dealt with carelessly.
As for Zhuyin Pavilion, he liked it so much that he didn't even think about changing his residence. The residences of inner disciples are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, Xuan and Huang. The concentration of spiritual energy in the attic of Huangzihao is similar to that of the inner door, five times that of Xuanzihao, ten times that of Dizihao, and fifteen times that of Tianzihao.
As for the residences of direct disciples and court attendants, there are specific living areas with a concentration of spiritual energy that is twenty times that of the outside, and the hierarchy is strict. Therefore, many inner disciples will challenge for a higher ranking and change their place of residence in order to have a better cultivation environment.
Cheng Ling had just been promoted to an inner sect disciple and had never experienced combat. His ranking was no more than 200,000. However, he didn't care. His current cultivation level was at the bottom among the inner disciples. Even if he challenged him, he wouldn't be able to move up a few spots, so why bother wasting his efforts.
The spirit gathering formation gradually closed, and soon, the concentration of spiritual energy in Zhuyin Pavilion began to rise. Five times, ten times, fifteen times...it didn't stop until thirty times.
In an instant, the bamboo forest seemed to have gained great vitality, and the sword intent generated by each bamboo leaf became more powerful, resonating with the sword intent in Cheng Ling's body. He was overjoyed, never expecting that the increase in spiritual energy concentration would bring such a gain.
In this way, as long as he confronts the Bamboo Leaf Sword Intent for a long time, it will greatly help to improve his Sword Intent. As time goes by, those bamboo leaves will even possess the characteristics of his sword intent.
Sitting cross-legged by the lake, he looked at the map of the inner gate area and related secret cultivation realms, thinking about how to improve his cultivation as soon as possible and gain a firm foothold.
The improvement of cultivation mainly involves skills, swordsmanship, body skills, artistic conception, etc. As for the Alchemy Way and the Formation Way, put them aside for now. These two auxiliary methods consume too much time, so they can only be put aside temporarily.
The skill is not a problem, and there is no need to go to the inner gate to redeem it. As for swordsmanship, the water swordsmanship taught by Jinye is relatively high-end. He hasn't fully understood it yet, so he can exchange it for a slightly lower-level swordsmanship. Unless absolutely necessary, he doesn't intend to expose the swordsmanship taught by Jinye.
As for the body skills, Sword Wings are barely enough in the Nascent Soul stage, and there is no need to look for other secrets. However, if you are good at footwork, you can also try to practice it.
The rest is to improve your cultivation. Now that we are in the early stage of Nascent Soul, how can we improve our cultivation level as soon as possible? There are not many spirit fruit rings left. If there is a corresponding prescription, it can be refined into elixirs, so that the effect of cultivation will be greater.
But then, you have to spend time practicing alchemy. Moreover, there are many materials on the mainland and Canglang Sea.
Big difference, I wonder if I can find the corresponding recipe. Tomorrow, I will go to the Trading Hall and Library Pavilion to have a look. Anyway, I still have more than two million contribution points, which will be used up later.
After deciding on the direction of cultivation, he picked up the token again, entered with his spiritual consciousness, and looked through the system of the inner sect. Everywhere he went, he must first become familiar with the rules of the game.
After a quick look, I discovered that the inner sect has more secret cultivation realms than the outer sect. There is a special training room, although the spiritual energy in the residence is very strong. But it is always inconvenient to practice extremely lethal moves.
The training room is different. There is a special training place. The defense ability is dozens of times that of the disciple's residence. No matter how strong the sword is, it cannot be destroyed. In addition, there is a comprehension bonus in the training room, and the spiritual energy concentration reaches 20. times, but you need to pay certain contribution points.
In addition to the training room, there are alchemy rooms, weapon refining rooms, artistic conception towers, kendo towers, and survival towers. Alchemy and weapon refining are obviously where elixirs and treasure weapons are refined, and the remaining three are where the cultivation and combat power are improved.
The Artistic Conception Tower is a place that helps disciples understand the artistic conception. The environment there is special and the understanding of the artistic conception is greatly enhanced. At present, he has understood the artistic conception of wind and thunder. If he wants to improve the power of his swordsmanship, he may also need to understand the artistic conception of water.
As for the Sword Tower and the Hall of Survival, they are places where the comprehensive strength of the disciples is tested. The kendo tower of the inner gate is different from that of the outer gate. It is more difficult. You can get certain contribution points every time you pass a level. The same goes for the Survival Hall. It is a virtual training place that tests the disciples' survival ability. Anyone who passes the corresponding level can get contribution points.
There is another point that is very different from the outer sect, and that is the challenge between disciples. The inner gate area is called the Sword Fighting Platform, and both sides of the challenge can bet on additional contribution points. However, it has a limit, and the maximum bet can only be 10,000 contribution points. This is also a means for the academy to protect new disciples.
Cheng Ling nodded. If everything was like that in the outer courtyard, casually betting and contributing points, it would obviously not be suitable. If this continues, the strong will only become stronger, and the new disciples will never have a chance to stand up.
Inner disciples must complete a certain number of academy tasks every year. If it cannot be completed, the corresponding contribution points will be deducted and punished by the Academy Law Enforcement Hall! This made Cheng Ling very depressed. His time was already very tight, and he wanted to improve his cultivation in a short period of time, but he was worried that he didn't have enough time.
Now, we still have to think of ways to complete the corresponding tasks, which is even more stretched. But there is no choice but to violate the rules of the academy, so I can only go to the mission hall tomorrow to see if there are any simple and quick missions.
After reading all the rules of the inner sect, I had an outline in my mind. However, these are just the tip of the iceberg of survival, and there are many more to be discovered in daily practice.
He is not in a hurry. If he wants to ascend to Nascent Soul Consummation, it will take at least several years to slowly discover and adapt. I just arrived at the inner gate today. Let’s rest for a day and go get familiar with the environment tomorrow.
I don't know how long it will take for Wu Chenlong to enter the inner gate. It would be nice to have him here. He can do a lot of errands and find out information. All I have to do is concentrate on practicing.
Five years, he set himself five years to find a way to improve his cultivation and formation. On the sea, there was the charming Bai Suzhen waiting for him to rescue. When I came to this world, the person I had the longest contact with was Bai Suzhen.
Although she is a python, she has experienced life and death many times in those years, and she has become her own relative. There are also Yun'er and Xi'er on Fairy Island. After so many years, the two girls have grown up. I wonder how they are doing now?
I hope the plunder that year did not affect them. He let his thoughts fly, temporarily forgetting to practice, accompanied by the fluttering bamboo forest, listening to the most pleasant natural sounds in the world, and fell into long-lasting memories.
