"Have you heard? Liu Bujin has advanced to the Early Period of Foundation Stage?"
"That's impossible. He is the joke of the sect. Although he managed to get first place in the last trial with the help of Wang Qian, no matter how fast he is, his cultivation can't reach the Foundation Establishment stage, right?"
"It must be a rumor! With his perception, if he had three Foundation Establishment Pills, he would not be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Did he have that many sect contribution points?"
"It's impossible for him to break through to the Early Period of Foundation Stage. I swear."
"That's right, that's right. A trash who stopped at the late stage of Body Transformation for four or five years, how could he possibly reach the Foundation Establishment stage so quickly? And he succeeded? Dream on! "
... Today was the sect's big test. Liu Fann released the Divine Sense a little, and the entire place was filled with discussions. Most of the discussions were directed at Liu Fann, and even the discussions of the genius Wang Qian were very little.
Just like all the other sects here, the Purple Cloud Sect was divided into the outer and inner sect. Those who had yet to reach the Foundation Establishment stage could only be considered as mortals in the outer sect, and this group of disciples could only be considered mortals. Their cultivation resources were scarce, and for those talented outer sect disciples with potential... The sect would provide a small amount of pill. In addition, during the trial by fire, they would earn cultivation resources. If Liu Fann hadn't advanced in a few years, the outer sect elders would have given up on training him. There were no cultivation resources for him at all, and it was no wonder that he had stopped advancing for so many years. After the outer sect disciples had successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage, as long as they tested their strength correctly... They could enter the inner sect smoothly, but the inner sect was also divided according to the ordinary disciples, the outstanding disciples, and the core disciples. The cultivation resources provided were completely different. The Sect Competition that was held once every five years was mainly where the inner sect disciples performed their skills. The competition would be held once every five years according to the ranking of the competition. The top 5% of the inner sect disciples are core disciples, and the top 5% to 15% are outstanding disciples. The rest were ordinary disciples.
The Purple Cloud Sect was the biggest sect in the Qiongzhou Continent. There were more than six thousand inner circle disciples, more than four hundred core disciples, and more than one thousand and three hundred outstanding disciples.
The requirement for the competition was: only hurting people, not killing people, and not crippling people's cultivation. Otherwise, their cultivation would be crippled by the sect, and they would be expelled from the sect. According to the current Cultivator situation, there would be a total of over three hundred Foundation Establishment disciples in five years. It could increase by 45 outstanding disciples and 15 core disciples. Therefore, only those within the top 60 of the inner sect disciples competition could enter the category of outstanding disciples. Those who challenged outstanding disciples could enter directly, but those who were challenged would be eliminated from the inner disciples competition. Similarly, the outstanding disciples could challenge the core disciples, and the defeated core disciples would be eliminated from the outstanding disciples competition.
Following the order of the Purple Cloud Sect Master, the competition officially began. The huge competition arena was filled with the disciples participating in the competition. On the grandstand, the Sect Elders and Peak Masters occupied dozens of seats.
The competition began. More than sixty outstanding disciples had to be selected from more than six thousand inner circle disciples. In order to save time, they had to use a chaotic battle method to eliminate the participants. According to the ratio of two to one, they would be left with 124 preselected disciples.
The chaotic battle began. In the enormous competition grounds that were prohibited, a few thousand people soared into the sky like locusts, and true qi flew in the sky. Swords and sabers flashed, and there were attacks and sieges. Most of them chose weaker opponents to attack. They hoped to shoot down and eliminate their opponents in the fastest way possible. Liu Fann and Wang Qian were on the verge of fighting. They did not seek martial arts, but they sought nothing. Many Cultivators saw the two "rookies" who had just completed their Foundation Establishment and thought that they could be dealt with in a short time. Without exception, each of them kicked an iron plate. They did not succeed in stealing the chicken, but were quickly shot down by the two of them. At the end of the battle, Liu Fann consciously chose to defeat those Middle Period of Foundation Stage opponents who were stronger and more powerful in actual combat. This paved the way for Wang Qian to advance to an outstanding disciple.
In the chaotic void, there was a chaotic battle. Of course. Many people who were able to make it into the top 60, in such a chaotic scene... There was a possibility that because they couldn't see the situation clearly, they would kick an iron plate. When many people saw a new member like Liu Fann, they wanted to "take advantage" of him, but it was very likely that they would not be able to become a key disciple or a core disciple. In less than an hour, the preliminaries ended and the elimination matches began. Luckily, Wang Qian's opponent was also an Early Period of Foundation Stage. After the sect's trial and the training at the Western Mountain of Hengduan, at the same time, it was almost impossible for her opponent to be at the same level as her. The two of them smoothly entered the outstanding disciples. After entering the Foundation Establishment stage, the difficulty of advancing was much higher than that of body transformation and Qi Condensation. The main reason was that each stage required a much greater amount of Vital Spirit Strength than the past. Thus... A pill without any side effects was also an important method to quickly advance. Most cultivators advanced in each stage in ten years. There were no special opportunities or large amounts of pill to assist them. The increase in strength was generally not too heaven-defying. Among the outstanding disciples, most of them were at the Early Period of Foundation Stage.
In order to not be too shocking, Liu Fann did his best to fight for the ranking. In the later ranking competition, those who were not better than him were only ranked in the 600. They were ranked in the top three among the disciples who had advanced this time.
"How is this possible? Liu Bujin became an outstanding disciple?"
"How could he advance so quickly? Could it be that he concealed his cultivation in the past? "
"He even entered the top six hundred? What the hell? "
"Looks like it's time for Liu Bujin to change his name to Genius Liu."
"He really is the dark horse of Purple Cloud Sect!" ... The main altar of the Purple Cloud Sect was under the jurisdiction of the Sect Master, the elders, and the Law Enforcement Hall. The main altar was located on the main peak of the Purple Cloud Mountain. Below the altar were 49 Peak Masters, and their strength was ranked on the first peak of the Purple Cloud Mountain. The second peak of the Purple Cloud Mountain, the third peak of the Purple Cloud Mountain, and the fourth peak of the Purple Cloud Mountain... Liu Fann and Wang Qian were chosen by the 1st Purple Cloud Peak's Peak Master Liu.
The Purple Cloud First Peak was the best place to cultivate with spiritual energy other than the Purple Cloud Main Peak. Here, the mountain was surrounded by fog all year round. The main spirit vein flowed from the main peak of the Purple Cloud Peak to the first peak before flowing backwards in sequence. By the time they reached the forty-ninth summit of the Purple Cloud Mountain, the spiritual energy was already quite thin. Of course, it was still much stronger than the spiritual energy of normal mountains.
"This is clothing, the opening of the cave Jade Plate, and three months of cultivation resources." Deacon Wang of the Purple Cloud Peak handed the two storage bags to the two of them and explained the relevant matters. Any disciple who had just stepped into the inner circle of key disciples or outstanding disciples... They'll all get the corresponding grotto and cultivation resources.
To be promoted to an outstanding disciple, in terms of cultivation resources, cultivation techniques, and martial skills, it would be much better than ordinary inner court disciples. The sect would provide three times more resources for outstanding disciples than for key disciples. And the resources for the key disciples were three times more for the inner court disciples. Moreover, the Peak Master would personally teach the outstanding disciples cultivation experiences every three months, and also solve the problems encountered during the cultivation of the outstanding disciples.
"You are Liu Fann?" As soon as the two of them arrived at the cave, they saw three disciples of the First Purple Cloud Peak walking towards them with hostile expressions. The person in the lead was as tall and mighty as an iron tower. His face was filled with ferociousness as he questioned them angrily.
"Yeah, who are you? A divine horse?" Liu Fann said calmly.
