522 Chapter 522-selling a few favors

He was the most powerful man in the cultivation world!

Ever since Qin shujian had pulled up the mountain and embraced the mountain, this name had been vaguely spread around.

!!
In this regard.

Some people scoffed at him. They felt that the cultivation world was vast and boundless. Qin shujian had just broken through to the celestial realm not long ago, so he had no right to claim to be number one.

Some people agreed with him.

Most of the people who agreed with him were from the top sects.

The higher one was, the more things one could see.

However, no matter how the outside world spread it, Qin shujian turned a blind eye to it.

…..

To him.

As long as one’s strength was sufficient, one didn’t need to worry too much about reputation.

With his current strength, he had already passed the stage where he needed to build momentum.

For a period of time.

Qin shujian had been living in seclusion and cultivating quietly.

It wasn’t as if this reputation didn’t bring about any changes.

The biggest change.

It was because Liangshan city was overcrowded.

Indirectly, many people had also gathered in other cities of the Liangshan spirit domain.

Although these cities were not close to Yuan sect, they had teleportation gates that were connected to Liangshan city.

If anything were to happen, these people would be able to use the teleportation gate and arrive at Liangshan city as soon as possible.

In the secret cultivation room.

Ning Meng was sitting cross-legged and cultivating.

As an outer sect disciple, he also cultivated the common cultivation technique of Yuan sect, the abridged version of the GUI Yuan ancestral Codex.

An unknown amount of time passed.

A buzzing sound came from ning Meng’s body, followed by the sound of his bones and muscles bursting, as if some hidden latch had been opened. Then, a boiling power of qi and blood surged.

A moment later.

Ning Meng opened her eyes and stood up from the ground.

“Martial entry-level six, peak vitality!”

Ning Meng knew the changes in her body like the back of her hand.

It had been almost four months since he had entered the sky origin sect.

Ever since she had consumed the marrow cleansing pill that Qin shujian had refined, it was as if she had been reborn. Her cultivation speed had skyrocketed.

In just a few short months, he had gone from nothing to martial entry-level six and had reached the peak of his vitality.

“One year at the true martial state and three years at the spiritual martial state!”

Ning Meng took a deep breath at the thought of this.

In the past, he did not know what the true martial realm represented. However, now that he had entered the yuan sect, he understood the division of cultivation levels.

Entering martial arts was just laying the foundation.

Only true martial could be considered to have reached a higher level and truly stepped into the threshold of cultivation.

According to ning Meng’s understanding, it was not easy to break through to the true martial realm in one year. Many outer disciples spent two or three years to slowly enter the true martial realm from scratch.

In fact, some of them had a decent cultivation base even before they joined the sect. After joining the sect, they spent a year or two before they broke through to the true martial realm.

One had to know.

Those who could enter the yuan sect were all talented.

However, even so, it would take three years to break through to the true martial realm.

In this regard.

Only then did ning Meng realize how difficult it was to reach true martial in a year.

However, now that he had broken through to peak vitality, ning Meng was also slightly relieved.

there’s still about eight months left until the one year’s time limit. I’m currently at martial entry-level six, so I’m still four small realms away from the true martial realm and one hurdle away.

based on my current progress, I should be able to reach martial entry-level ten in about seven to eight months even if I just train according to the usual schedule.

“The truly difficult part should be the transformation from the martial entry stage to the true martial stage.”

Ning Meng’s heart had already calmed down a lot because of the joy of her breakthrough.

The transformation from martial entry to true martial was the most difficult.

Based on what he knew, some people would have to spend months or even a year to break through the barrier to martial entry-level ten.

Although ning Meng thought that she was talented, she was not 100% confident that she could break through in a fixed time.

Immediately.

He thought about it again. one year at the true martial realm is just a requirement. There’s still the disciple competition next year. It’s even more of a problem. It’s not that easy to stand out among the many disciples and win the first place.

Thinking of this …

Ning Meng immediately came out of seclusion and walked towards the place where the outer sect deacons were.

Along the way.

He had also met quite a few people.

In this regard.

Most of the time, ning Meng would just walk past them, and only a few familiar faces would nod and greet them.

In the inner hall where the outer sect deacons were.

Bi Chang was sitting there drinking tea. As an outer sect Deacon, he had nothing much to do.

Drinking tea.

That was just the normal process.

At this moment, ning Meng came in from outside and said, ” disciple Ning Zheng greets Deacon bi!

hey, Ning Yan, you’re here. Sit down!

Bi Chang raised his brows and smiled.

When his eyes fell on ning Meng, he was surprised again.

did you just break through to martial entry-level six? ” su mo asked.

“I just broke through by luck.”

“A breakthrough is a breakthrough. There’s no such thing as luck. Sometimes, it’s meaningless to be too humble.” Bi Chang said, then sighed. you went from nothing to something in four months and broke through to martial entry-level six. Your talent is indeed extraordinary.

He had broken through to martial entry-level six in four months.

Bi Chang thought about his past and found that it was a little unbearable.

Back then, he seemed to have spent four months and was still stuck at martial entry-level one. His talent was so bad that it made one’s hair stand on end.

He was able to have his current achievements all thanks to sky origin sect’s multiple advancements. He had forcefully pulled a pig to the height of the spiritual God Realm.

&Nbsp; cough cough.

Of course, bi Chang did not think that he was the pig.

However, it was a fact that he was not talented.

At least, compared to ning Meng, bi Chang was so ashamed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

But he quickly recovered.

As a spiritual God Realm expert, a martial entry-level six cultivator could be killed with a wave of his hand. What bi Chang really cared about was ning Meng’s talent.

…..

Soon after.

“But there’s something I have to tell you,” bi Chang said.”Ascetic cultivation may not be a good thing. Cultivators need to have means to deal with their enemies in addition to their own cultivation.

If you just blindly cultivate without any real practice, you’ll have a realm but no corresponding strength. Once you encounter a strong enemy, you might end up dead.”

Ning Meng nodded in agreement and said, “”You’re right, Deacon. I’ve come here for this matter.”

“Tell me.”

“Disciple has been in the sect for so long, but there are many things that I don’t know as well as Deacon. I don’t know what I should do now, but I hope Deacon can teach me!”

Ning Meng cupped her hands and said sincerely.

Upon hearing this.

Bi Chang remained silent.

He had always wanted to find an opportunity to get closer to ning Meng.

After all, Qin shujian was the one who had brought him here. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have a high status in Yuan sect in the future.

Now that he had seen the other party’s cultivation talent, he felt that it was too much.

Bi Chang was almost 100% sure that Ning Zheng would become Qin shujian’s disciple.

This was no small matter.

By forming a good relationship with the future sect master’s disciple, he would be able to sit in his Deacon position more comfortably.

Therefore, when ning Meng asked him, bi Chang was also seriously considering this question. He was thinking about how to give the best and most appropriate advice so that the other party would owe him a favor.

After some thought, bi Chang did not answer first. Instead, he asked, “”Does the sect master have any requirements for you?”

you’ll break through to the true martial realm in one year and win first place in the disciple competition next year.

“He broke through the true martial realm in one year and won first place in the great disciple tournament.”

Bi Chang’s expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

This request might be difficult for others, but it was not impossible for Ning Zheng.

And …

Since Qin shujian had made a request of Ning Zheng, it was obvious that it was a request for him to accept Ning Zheng as his disciple.

Right now, their sect master was known as the number one expert in the cultivation world.

When such a person took in a disciple, he naturally would not just accept anyone.

Bi Chang thought for a moment and said, “”If I remember correctly, you entered the sect in the eighth month. It’s already the twelfth month, so the disciple competition next year should be around the fifth month.

The great disciple tournament was divided into several levels.

The martial entry-level is one group, and the true martial level one is further divided into several levels.”

“If it’s a year, you just need to break through to the true martial realm before August next year, and there won’t be any problems.”

so, my suggestion is that after you reach martial entry-level ten, don’t be in a hurry to break through your realm. Suppress yourself a little and let yourself stay at the martial entry-level. After the competition, you can then break through to the true martial realm.

in this way, your chances of winning the competition will be very high. However, if you compete in the true martial stage, to be honest, you’ve only entered the cultivation world for less than a year. It won’t be easy to beat them.

At this point, bi Chang himself was stunned again.

What did he mean? he sounded like he was 100% sure that ning Meng would break through to the true martial realm before the competition.

Bi Chang could not help but wonder if the other party’s talent was so high that he could completely believe it.

Just as bi Chang was in self-doubt.

Ning Meng nodded and said, “”Deacon BI’s words are true.”

By doing so, although he was suspected of picking up a loophole, he was still a thief.

However, if he really did that, the chances of him getting first place in the tournament would be much higher.

“Cough, cough!”

Bi Chang coughed twice to interrupt the other’s thoughts. don’t underestimate those people at martial entry-level ten. There are still many cultivators in the sect who are stuck at the martial entry-level limit and are just one step away from breaking through to the true martial realm.

Some of these people have problems with their talent, while others have deliberately suppressed their cultivation. In terms of true strength, they have a chance even if they challenge those of a higher cultivation level.”

“Deliberately suppressing his cultivation?”

Ning Meng was startled.

He had suppressed his cultivation level so that he could become Qin shujian’s disciple. If that was the case, why would the others suppress their cultivation levels?

It couldn’t be for the great competition, right?

As if he could read ning Meng’s mind, bi Chang said, “”Your guess is right. The purpose of them suppressing their realms is for the great competition.”

Without waiting for ning Meng to speak.

Bi Chang continued, ” you might not know what the rewards of the Grand competition are. The first or top three of every level will get a chance to enter the Mystic realm.

Other than entering the secret realm, there were also cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques, as well as various resource rewards.

The rewards for these items are generous. If it wasn’t for the competition, it would take a long time to complete missions to obtain these resources.”

“A secret realm?” Ning Meng was puzzled.

This was the first time he had heard of this name.

Bi Chang laughed. you’ve just joined the sect not long ago. It’s normal that you’ve never heard of the secret realm. The secret realm is a space treasure that the sect leader personally opened up in the past. It attracted many experts to come and observe that day.

After the secret realm was opened, it had been sealed up and no one had ever entered it.

However, according to the news spread by the sect, the spiritual energy in the secret realm is extremely rich. Cultivating in it for a day is better than cultivating outside for a month.”

He saw the shocked expression on ning Meng’s face.

“Furthermore, due to the rich spiritual energy, if you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation, the success rate of breaking through inside is much higher than outside,” bi Chang added.

“In addition to the spiritual Qi, it is said that there are other benefits to the secret realm. In short, there are many people who want to enter the secret realm, but there is only one way to enter the secret realm, and that is to get a ranking in the tournament.

I’m sure you understand how important the Grand Tournament is.

It’s very normal for some people to suppress their cultivation in order to get a spot.”

Upon hearing this.

Only then did Ning Zheng understand why someone would suppress their realm.

A secret realm!

At the thought of this, his eyes lit up.

If others wanted a place in the secret realm, Ning Zheng wanted it as well.

Moreover, he had to obtain first place in the great tournament. Otherwise, he would lose the chance to become Qin shujian’s disciple.

If he couldn’t become Qin shujian’s disciple …

In that case, he might as well take Gong mingze as his master.

Therefore, it was either not to do it, or to do it to the best of his ability.

Bi Chang said, ” I won’t say much about the disciples who are at the martial entry-level and above. I just want to tell you one thing. Don’t underestimate anyone in the martial entry-level competition. In terms of danger, it’s not much less than the true martial realm.

I see that you’ve been cultivating wholeheartedly for the past few months. Although you’ve reached a certain realm, you haven’t been able to display much of your true strength.

“To put it bluntly, a martial entry-level three or four cultivator who has been through hundreds of battles has the chance to kill a martial entry-level six like you. Some martial entry-level five disciples can also defeat you.”

Bi Chang said, ” don’t think that I’m lying to you. A cultivator’s strength and realm are one aspect, but combat experience is another. Neither can be lacking. If the gap between realms is huge, no matter how rich your combat experience is, it can’t make up for it.

At the same time, if the difference in realms wasn’t too big, it wouldn’t be difficult for a cultivator with rich combat experience to kill a cultivator without combat experience.

On the day of the competition, you’ll face many cultivators of the same level. At that time, your shortcomings will be magnified infinitely. Let alone first place, you may not even have a chance to be in the top three.”

Ning Meng’s expression changed.

After a long time.

He suddenly stood up, bowed deeply, and said sincerely, “”I hope Deacon can help me!”

Since bi Chang had said so much, he must have a solution.

&Nbsp; so,

Ning Meng also hoped that the other party could give her some pointers.

After so many years outside, although ning Meng was not old, she had seen all kinds of people and had a way of reading people’s minds.

Bi Chang’s current actions also meant that he was doing him a favor.

As for why he was doing him a favor, it was all because of Qin shujian.

Bi Chang also hoped that he could become Qin shujian’s disciple. When that time came, he would benefit, and Qin shujian would benefit as well.

It was also because of this.

After ning Meng spoke, she immediately added, “”If you are willing to guide me, I will not forget your kindness. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you.”

“Haha, you’re too kind.”

Bi Chang was in a good mood.

Why did he say so much? wasn’t he just waiting for this one sentence?

Since ning Meng was on the right track, bi Chang would not be stingy.

“You should know about the library Pavilion, right?”

“I know.”

Ning Meng nodded.

He knew a little about the library.

After all, this was a place to learn martial arts, so how could ning Meng not know?

Bi Chang looked to his left and right, then said, ” outer sect disciples spend a certain amount of contribution points to have a second chance to enter the library Pavilion. Generally speaking, the second floor of the library Pavilion is filled with true martial realm techniques and martial arts.

“Deacon, you want me to go to the library Pavilion to practice martial arts?”

“That’s right.”

“With my current strength, I’m afraid it won’t be easy for me to master a true martial level martial art.”

“Don’t worry, I haven’t finished.”

Bi Chang smiled mysteriously and said, “”On the second floor of the library Pavilion, on the eighteenth row of bookshelves, on the third floor from bottom to top, and then from left to right, on the twenty-third book, on the sixty-seventh page, there is a sword technique mixed in.

If you can learn this sword technique, no one will be your match in next year’s competition.”

“Is the Deacon’s words true?”

“Hehe, that’s only natural,” Bi Chang said mysteriously, ” let me tell you. No third person knows about this secret. I accidentally saw it when I went to the library in the past. In addition, this sword technique is hidden in secret.

I’m sure that no one else knows about it except for me. At most, you’re one of them.”

The words fell.

Bi Chang’s expression turned serious as he said, “”However, this matter can only be known to you and me. You can’t mention it to anyone else. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not warning you when the enemy is defeated in the future.”

“Deacon, don’t worry. I understand.”

Seeing bi Chang’s serious tone, ning Meng also answered seriously.

He wasn’t a fool. If there really was such a sword technique, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

At the very least.

He couldn’t let others know before the end of the competition. If someone else learned it and defeated him instead, he would have no place to cry.

However, ning Meng was also curious and could not help but ask, “”Deacon, may I ask what level of martial arts is that sword move?”

“To be honest, I’m not sure what level it is, but it’s at least a divine-level martial art. No, it’s not just a divine-level martial art. It should be a high-grade divine-level martial art or an incomplete soul conduit martial art. It’s all possible.”

Bi Chang shook his head. He could not be sure.

That sword move was too mysterious.

Even he, a spiritual God Realm cultivator, only knew a little about this.

High-grade divine-level!

The soul realm martial arts!

Ning Meng was puzzled.

In this regard.

Bi Chang explained patiently, “”The martial arts that one practices in the [ martial entry-level ] are of the mortal level. The true martial is the true level, the spiritual martial is the spiritual level, the divine martial is the divine level, and the celestial is the soul conduit.

Now, you should understand how important this sword technique is.”

“–”

Ning Meng nodded in agreement.

He finally understood why bi Chang was being so mysterious.

It turned out that the level of that sword move was actually so high.

After the surprise, ning Meng quickly reacted. if that’s the case, I can’t cultivate such a powerful martial art with my current strength!

“What do you know?”

Bi Chang glanced at him and said in disdain, “”This level of martial arts lies in the word” enlightenment.”Even if you can only comprehend one part of it, it is an extremely important thing.

Even if you can’t use all of its power, even one percent of it is enough to kill those martial entry-level cultivators easily.”

While they were talking.

“Hand over your identity token!” Bi Chang said.

Although ning Meng was puzzled, she still handed the token over respectfully.

Bi Chang also took out his own identity token and stuck it together. Then, he returned ning Meng’s identity token.

“To enter the 2nd level of the library Pavilion, you need 100 contribution points. I saw that you’ve just entered the sect not long ago, so you probably didn’t get any contribution points, so I gave you some.

Remember, this is just a loan. You must return it in full in the future.”

Ning Meng took the identity token and saw that the contribution points on it had changed from zero to one hundred. She immediately said gratefully, “”Disciple will definitely repay Deacon’s kindness in the future.”

100 contribution points were like coal in the snow to him.

Ning Meng had been cultivating all this time and had no time to complete any missions, let alone get any contribution points.

don’t thank me so quickly, ” bi Chang said. there’s one more thing I have to tell you.

“Please speak, Deacon!”

“According to the rules, if a disciple hasn’t been promoted to an inner disciple after half a year, he or she must pay a hundred contribution points to the sect every month. Otherwise, he or she will be expelled from the sect.

You’ve been in the sect for four months now, so you still have two months to enjoy yourself. After two months, you’ll have to pay a hundred contribution points every month according to the rules.

I can’t help you with these contribution points, you’ll have to think of a way yourself.”

if I can’t become an inner disciple within half a year, I have to pay 100 contribution points every month? ”

Ning Meng almost thought that she had heard wrong.

You’re not joking, right?

He knew a little about the requirements to become an inner disciple, and that was to break through to the true martial realm.

From bi Chang’s attitude, he could tell that he was already an amazing person to break through to the true martial realm in a year.

What kind of concept was it to break through to the true martial realm in half a year?

All of a sudden.

Ning Meng could feel the deep malice from the sect from bi Chang’s words.

Bi Chang glanced at him and shook his head. “There are some things that you just need to understand in your heart and not say out loud. In any case, rules are rules, and everyone has to obey them. Anyone who breaks the rules will not have a good end.

It’s not hard to get 100 contribution points every month. If you’re strong enough, you can get that amount by spending some time and doing a few missions.”

“Many thanks for Deacon’s guidance. This disciple knows what to do.”

Ning Meng took a deep breath and bowed again to express her gratitude.

If not for bi Chang’s words, there were many things that he would not be able to grasp.
