Bai Yiyi bit her lips tightly and looked down at the ground, not daring to move. No matter how scolded Jian Yinghao was, he was relieved when Cheng Ling came forward to relieve him.
She was also afraid of what she had just done. She didn't expect that Cheng Ling was so open-minded and didn't take the opportunity to criticize her. He even spoke for her, and her impression of him became much better.
She then said: "That's the Four Elephant Sword Technique. I haven't mastered the last move yet, so I couldn't stop it for a moment!"
Is this a tactful apology? Cheng Ling smiled in her heart. Bai Yiyi had such a strong temper. Even though she was wrong, she still couldn't hide her face.
Thinking about it, I feel relieved. Based on the swordsmanship mastered by Jian Yinghao and Bai Yiyi, it is obvious that they are of high grade, definitely earth-level swordsmanship. Their identities are definitely not simple, and they are not ordinary core disciples of the inner sect.
This fight allowed him to clearly see the gap between himself and his core disciples. The first is swordsmanship. Compared with their swordsmanship, the Thirteen Life-Destroying Swordsmanship is nowhere near the same level.
The Blue Waves Thousand Miles Sword Technique is too difficult to master and can only be used as a last resort. You also need to master a few transitional sword techniques in the middle. Otherwise, there will be too few means to fight the enemy, and relying only on a few sword skills will be really stretched.
Secondly, my cultivation is still not enough. In the previous battle, let alone Yuanying's perfection, as long as you have the cultivation of the late Yuanying, you will not be at a disadvantage, and the final Azure Dragon Sword will not be unstoppable.
Jian Yinghao knew that Bai Yiyi's words were a disguised apology. He turned to look at Cheng Ling and said, "Brother Cheng, Yiyi and I grew up together and have a stubborn temper, so don't worry about it!"
"It doesn't matter, Miss Yiyi has a high level of cultivation. Today, we can't get to know each other without fighting. If I am bullied by someone in the future, I will ask her to help and I must regain my place!"
Jian Yinghao laughed loudly, and Bai Yiyi couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "Okay, if you have any trouble in the future, I will help you settle it!"
What a powerful sister! Wu Chenlong secretly stuck out his tongue and cursed secretly.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yiyi's sharp eyes grabbed him and shouted: "What did you yell just now? You also called me a witch. Let me tell you, my name is Bai Yiyi. You can call me Sister Bai or Sister Yiyi. Don’t call me a witch again, or I won’t let you go!”
Wu Chenlong was no match for her at all. She grabbed the clothes on his chest and almost couldn't breathe. He could only look at Cheng Ling with a bitter look on his face.
Cheng Ling laughed and scolded: "Why don't you call me Sister Yiyi!"
Wu Chenlong had no choice but to compromise and shouted: "Sister Yiyi, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Bai Yiyi smiled and said, "Be good, my sister will protect you from now on! Hahaha!" Afterwards, even she couldn't help laughing.
After such a fuss, the atmosphere between the four of them became much more relaxed. Cheng Ling asked Wu Chenlong to clean up the pavilion, took out some spiritual tea and spiritual fruits, and invited the two of them to sit down again. There were some things that he wanted them to give advice on.
"Brother Jian, Miss Yiyi, I heard that each branch has a hundred core disciples. I wonder how strong they are?"
Bai Yiyi glanced at Jian Yinghao and said nothing. Her expression was completely different from the previous arrogance. Cheng Ling was amused. It seemed that the two of them had a close relationship, not just an ordinary friendship. He turned his head and looked at Jian Yinghao, waiting for him to say something.
Jian Yinghao said: "There are hundreds of core disciples in each branch, and their strength varies greatly. At least there is a big difference between the top ten and the next ninety."
"Then based on Miss Yiyi's strength, how high can she rank among the top 100?"
"Yiyi ranked thirty-fifth among the core disciples of the previous session, which is very impressive.
wrong. Because the core disciple competition is the same as the inner sect competition, all disciples from the three branches participate, and they can rank thirty-fifth in the three houses, and the kendo school is enough to enter the top ten. "
Cheng Ling nodded and asked again: "Brother Jian, where is your ranking?"
Yiyi rolled her eyes at Jian Yinghao and said: "He doesn't bother to participate in any big competition. With Brother Jian's strength, not to mention the core disciples, not even the academy attendants, can beat him!"
"Oh!" Cheng Ling was shocked. He had only seen one person, the court attendant. Qiu Ruohen, who presided over the duel between Zhang Zheng and Cheng Hongyuan on the sword stage, was indeed very strong and she was definitely no match for him. I didn't expect that Jian Yinghao actually had the strength of a court attendant, but I couldn't tell it at ordinary times.
He asked doubtfully: "If that's the case, why doesn't Brother Jian become a court attendant?"
Jian Yinghao waved his hand and said: "It's not interesting to be a court servant. He has to bear the responsibilities of the academy all day long, but the disciples are still free."
Bai Yiyi's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't.
With a quick glance, Cheng Ling understood that Jian Yinghao might have other reasons. But if the other party didn't tell him, it wouldn't be easy for him to ask. Then he asked the question: "I see that both of you have superb swordsmanship and high grades. I wonder how many contribution points are needed to redeem them?"
"Contribution points for our swordsmanship cannot be redeemed. If you want to practice, you can only use achievement points."
"Oh? Do you need achievement points? How many do you need?"
Bai Yiyi asked in surprise: "Do you have achievement points? Impossible. How can you have achievement points just after entering the inner gate?"
Cheng Ling explained with a smile: "I learned an earth-level intermediate swordsmanship from the outer sect, and the master of the outer sect rewarded me with 10,000 achievement points."
"I see. No wonder Brother Jian said that your talent in swordsmanship is very high. You can master earth-level and mid-level swordsmanship in the outer court. It is indeed good. But in the inner court, in order to exchange for earth-level swordsmanship, the achievement points required are not low. , unless you become a core disciple."
"What? Do inner disciples and core disciples need different achievement points to redeem secret books?"
"Yes, for the same secret book, inner disciples need twice the achievement points to redeem it."
Cheng Ling was confused and asked, "Why?"
Jian Yinghao explained: "Only high-level Earth-level secret books need to be redeemed with achievement points. There are not many such secret books in the academy. In order to ensure that the skills will not be leaked, only core disciples and above can redeem them."
"Moreover, for ordinary inner disciples, it is enough to understand the intermediate earth-level secret books. The high-level secret books are too difficult, so the disciples are so ambitious that they set the rules. Inner disciples need to pay double the core disciple's price to exchange for high-level secret books. Double the price!”
"That's it!" Cheng Ling nodded. This also makes sense. Just like the Blue Wave Thousand Miles Sword Technique in the Golden Page, although I have seen it before, I have only now understood the first move. The subsequent moves are too profound and I have never been able to understand it.
But intuitively, I should be able to comprehend high-level earth-level swordsmanship. As for Blue Waves Thousand Miles, it may be more than high-level, maybe top-level, or even heaven-level swordsmanship. He had never seen either of these sword techniques before, and he couldn't confirm it.
He continued to ask: "How to become a core disciple? Does it depend on cultivation level?"
"No! As a core disciple, we not only look at your cultivation, but also your talent, understanding, qualifications, and most importantly, your loyalty to the academy. After these are satisfied, you will be recommended by two academy ministers or above. , can only be confirmed after passing the assessment test.”
Wu Chenlong frowned and said, "So complicated? How can it be tested?"
"Cultivation and combat prowess are the criteria. As long as you become the top 100 in the branch, you can pass. Talent, understanding, and qualifications are all related.
Related tests and assessments. As for loyalty, you need to complete the academy’s Class A mission! "
"A-level mission?" Wu Chenlong asked doubtfully. He had just entered the inner gate a few hours ago and didn't have time to read the relevant introduction, so naturally he didn't understand.
Bai Yiyi glanced at him and said angrily: "You haven't done the task yet, so you don't know. To enter the inner gate, you have to complete a certain amount of tasks every month. The tasks are divided into levels. According to the difficulty, there are A, B, Levels C and D.”
"D-level tasks are the lowest difficulty and are easy to complete, but they get the least rewards. They are generally collection tasks. The C-level tasks are not much different from the D-level tasks, but the difficulty is slightly higher. The B-level tasks are more difficult and the battle It is difficult for weak disciples to complete, but the rewards are generous."
"As for the most difficult level A, it cannot be completed by ordinary disciples. It often requires strong strength and even a team. For example, some level A tasks ask you to kill an entire sect or family."
"However, by completing Class A tasks, you can get additional rewards of loyalty and achievement points. Naturally, there are also contribution point rewards."
Wu Chenlong took a breath and said, "Kill the entire sect and family? How could the academy issue such a task?"
Jian Yinghao explained: "It's very simple. Whether it is an academy, a family, or a sect disciple, the ultimate goal of training is to improve strength. In this way, it is a competition for interests and resources. There will be more or less conflicts between sects and families. Conflicts naturally need to be resolved.”
Cheng Ling and Wu Chenlong were silent, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and it is not uncommon.
After a moment of silence, Cheng Ling asked again: "What are the recommendations of two or more court attendants? Do the elders of the outer sect count?"
"The elders of the outer sect naturally count. Although they are in the outer sect, they are very strong. Moreover, as long as they are elders, they will rotate after a period of time and will not stay in one place for a long time."
Cheng Ling thought to himself that it seemed that the inner sect was still very complicated and he would need to learn more about it in the future. First find a way to increase your strength to the top 100 in the branch, and then complete Class A tasks to increase your achievement points and loyalty.
As for recommending candidates, let’s entrust Jian Laodao and the master of the outer courtyard to do so! But now, we still have to find a way to get higher-level swordsmanship secrets first.
He asked Bai Yiyi: "Miss Yiyi, how many achievement points did you spend on the Four Elephant Sword Technique?"
"Twenty thousand!"
Cheng Ling's face turned bitter. Bai Yiyi needed 20,000, so he didn't want 40,000. With a flash in his mind, he asked again: "Can you help me redeem it, and I can pay the 20,000 achievement points myself?"
Bai Yiyi smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying: "No, high-level secrets are registered in the academy. Only I can redeem them, and they are not allowed to be passed on to outsiders. Once discovered, I will be severely punished!"
Jian Yinghao said: "Brother Cheng, do you plan to exchange for high-level secrets?"
Cheng Ling said: "Yes, I know too few swordsmanship. I only have one fatal chain of thirteen swords, which is not enough at all, and the power is also very low."
Jian Yinghao smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way. Achievement points and contribution points are different. They cannot be traded. They can only be owned by themselves. I can't help you even if I want to. Isn't there no good swordsmanship in the inner gate library?"
"I've seen them all. There are none at the top level of the most talented people, nor at the earth level."
Jian Yinghao pondered for a while and said: "Otherwise, how about we form a team and complete Class A tasks together to earn achievement points and loyalty?"
Cheng Ling was startled and looked at him deeply. With his and Bai Yiyi's identities, there was no need to team up with him. Such a proposal was obviously to take care of him and Wu Chenlong. What was the purpose of being so courteous for nothing?
