The reason Lin Tian joined the Northern Flame Imperial Courtyard was because of the various resources. [Reading]
Therefore, he naturally had to find out more about the problems related to cultivation resources.
"En, this is what I'm going to tell you next. I'll start from the basics, listen carefully."
Xu Zhou said.
"Okay."
Lin Tian nodded.
Xu Zhou nodded and said, "First of all, you new disciples have just entered the academy, and after the Ranking Battle, the academy will give out some rewards to the top ten new disciples. After that, all of you will be allowed to temporarily temper yourselves in the academy for a month, allowing you to roughly familiarize yourselves with the imperial courtyard.
Xu Zhou paused, then continued, "Next, the Academy will hold a Grand Competition. The competition will be held in the Illusory Killing Hall of the Imperial Courtyard. Then, the ranking stone outside the Illusory Killing Hall will record the rankings of all the disciples. Generally speaking, the top thirty disciples will be assigned to the King Courtyard, the eightieth to thirty-first place will be in the Inner Courtyard, and those below eighty-first place will be in the Outer Courtyard. This is the basic relationship between the three courtyards and the Ranking Stone. "
"You mean, one month later, as long as I reach the eightieth place in the Illusory Killing Hall, I can enter the Inner Courtyard, and if I reach the top thirty, I can enter the King Courtyard?"
Lin Tian asked.
"No, it's not that simple. I haven't finished yet. The ranking on the Ranking Stone is only the basic condition." Xu Zhou shook his head, saying, "Let me give you an example. For example, one month later, if your ranking in the Illusory Killing Hall is eighty-first place, then you will be directly assigned to the Outer Courtyard, the same as now, an Outer Courtyard disciple."
"If you're ranked 79th, then you'll have the qualifications to enter the inner courtyard. After that, you'll have to choose one of the current inner courtyard disciples to challenge. If you win, you'll enter the inner courtyard, and the loser will retreat to the outer courtyard. If you lose, then I'm sorry, but you'll still be in the outer courtyard. Similarly, it's the same for the King Courtyard. "
Lin Tian suddenly understood, saying, "So, in the Northern Flame Academy, the King Courtyard disciples will always be thirty, the Inner Courtyard disciples will always be fifty, and the Outer Courtyard disciples will always be indefinite. Then, the Inner Courtyard and King Courtyard disciples will be replaced by an elimination system?"
"En, that's roughly it."
Xu Zhou nodded.
Lin Tian asked again, "After the recent unification competition, will the next competition be held next year?"
"No, the all-academy competition is held once every two months."
"Once every two months? So often? "
Lin Tian was a little surprised.
"Naturally, this is also to encourage the disciples to work hard in their cultivation." Xu Zhou continued, "However, although the Grand Competition is held frequently, the positions on the Ranking Stone generally do not change much. It is even more impossible for the disciples of the Inner Academy and King's Academy to be pushed down so easily. After all, those who are able to enter the Inner Academy and King's Academy are all geniuses amongst geniuses."
"Oh, that's true."
Lin Tian nodded.
Next, Xu Zhou explained the main structure of the Northern Flame Imperial Courtyard. It was divided into the Disciple Pavilion, the Elder Courtyard, the Scripture Depository, and the Cultivation Area. The Disciple Pavilion, the Elder Courtyard, and the Scripture Depository were all a single structure, while the Cultivation Area consisted of many different structures, such as the Wild Sand World, the Rapid Current, the Mirage Cave, and the Vein Condensation Cave.
The Wild Sand World was a small space that was filled with yellow sand. Within this space, those with weak strength wouldn't even be able to open their eyes. But at the same time, this small space also contained an illusionary killing array. From time to time, some powerful Monster Beasts would appear and attack the disciples that entered, using this to temper the perception of a martial artist.
The Rapid Current was a huge river that cut across the Mirage Cave. The water current was shockingly fast, and if one wasn't careful, they would be swept away. Moreover, this long river was reinforced by some kind of array that made the water current extremely cold, so cold that it penetrated the bones. Ordinary people would find it hard to endure, using this to train the cultivator's physical strength and endurance.
The Mirage Cave was a place where cultivators would enter, and there would be a phantom with the same strength as them. Other than the ability to speak and facial expressions, their cultivation, speed, and martial skills would be the same as the real body. After cultivators entered the Mirage Cave, they would battle with their own phantoms, allowing them to grasp their own weaknesses and shortcomings. At the same time, they could also increase their own battle strength. It could be said that this was very significant.
The Vein Condensation Cave was said to have more than ten tyrannical spirit veins gathered underground. The spirit energy was extremely dense, and after cultivators entered, they could absorb spirit energy that far surpassed the outside world, greatly increasing the speed of forming divine veins. Their cultivation could increase by a lot in a short period of time. The significance of this was self-evident.
Of these four places, the Slaughter World and the Rapid Current could accommodate at least a hundred people at a time, so there was no restriction on the cultivation time. Freshmen who had just entered the college could cultivate there unconditionally. However, the Mirage Cave and the Vein Condensation Cave were different. Only inner courtyard disciples and King's Courtyard disciples had the qualifications to enter these two places. Moreover, the disciples would be allocated time according to their ranking on the Ranking Stone. The higher the ranking, the more cultivation time they would receive.
"Also, the Imperial Courtyard's Scripture Depository is a little different from your Nine Yang Martial House. The Imperial Courtyard disciples can only choose one cultivation technique and one martial skill from the Scripture Depository for each realm. Of course, the cultivation techniques and martial skills inside are all top-notch."
Xu Zhou said.
"Forget about the cultivation technique, but can only choose one martial skill for each realm? Isn't that a little too little? "
Lin Tian was astonished.
"Maybe, but it's not true that you can only cultivate one martial skill for each realm." Xu Zhou smiled and said, "If you want to cultivate more martial skills, you can exchange for new martial skills by accumulating Academy Contribution Points. When the Academy Contribution Points reach Level 1, you can exchange for one additional Divine Vein Realm martial skill. When the Academy Contribution Points reach Level 2, you can exchange for two additional Divine Vein Realm martial skills. As for Spiritual Sea Realm martial skills, you need to reach Level 3 at least. "
Lin Tian Wei was stunned and asked, "How do I accumulate Academy Contribution Points?"
"This is simple. Go to the Disciple Pavilion and hand in demonic beasts' cores, demonic beasts' fur, demonic beasts' blood essence, rare herbs, spirit tools, elixirs, and so on. You can even directly exchange spirit coins for Academy Contribution Points."
Xu Zhou said.
"Spirit coins are fine too?"
"Sure."
Lin Tian thought for a moment and asked, "How many spirit coins do I need to reach Level 1 Contribution Points?"
In terms of spirit coins, he still had a lot.
"Level 1 Contribution Points require three million spirit coins. Level 2 Contribution Points require seven million spirit coins. Level 3 …"
"Stop!"
Lin Tian's forehead was full of black lines. He might as well rob!
Xu Zhou obviously knew what Lin Tian was thinking and said with a smile, "A few million spirit coins is indeed an astronomical figure for ordinary cultivators. However, for some wealthy merchant families in the Imperial City, a few million spirit coins are nothing at all. It can be said that spirit coins are prepared for those wealthy young masters of wealthy merchant families. The Imperial Courtyard also needs to make some money. "
Lin Tian: "…"
It was the first time he heard that the Imperial Courtyard also needed to make money.
"Then, how do you calculate using beast cores?"
Lin Tian asked.
Xu Zhou said, "In terms of beast cores, level 4 demonic beasts' cores need about three thousand pieces to reach Level 1 Contribution Points. Level 5 demonic beasts' cores need about one thousand five hundred pieces. Level 6 demonic beasts' cores need about one thousand pieces. "
Lin Tian was speechless. Beast cores also needed so many.
"There's no other way. The Imperial Courtyard has too many great formations. It needs a lot of beast cores to operate."
Xu Zhou said.
"So, the Imperial Courtyard uses extra martial arts as a lure to make the Imperial Courtyard's disciples do their best to obtain beast cores. Since the martial arts are there, there's nothing to lose by letting the Imperial Courtyard's disciples practice it. They can also get a lot of beast cores, so why not? If there's a wealthy young master, that's even better. It's a waste not to take advantage of them, is that right? "
Lin Tian andao.
"Cough cough, it's good that you know, it's good that you know. We can't let the teachers and elders get beast cores and spirit coins, right?"
Xu Zhou said.
Maybe it was because he had a good impression of Lin Tian, Xu Zhou didn't deliberately hide anything.
Lin Tian: "…"
This is too deceptive.
He chatted with Xu Zhou for a while and had a general understanding of the Northern Flame Imperial Courtyard.
Around night time, Xu Zhou stood up and said goodbye.
"Sorry to trouble you, Senior. Take care."
Lin Tian sent Xu Zhou to the door.
"Little guy, don't be so polite. If there's anything you don't understand in the future, you can ask me."
Xu Zhou said and then quickly left.
Lin Tian returned to his room and tidied it up. He then lay on the bed and prepared to have a good sleep. In the past half a month, the environment in the Poison Forest was a little too harsh. He didn't have a good rest at all.
Around midnight, Lin Tian woke up. After pausing for a while, he opened the two Spirit-Gathering Runes and started to cultivate. To him who controlled the Four Extremes Scriptures, the effect of cultivating at night was much better than in the day. It was because the Four Extremes Scriptures could not only attract the spirit qi of heaven and earth, but also the astral force.
Buzz!
Dense spirit qi of heaven and earth gathered outside his body. The silver astral force also intertwined, making him look sacred and dignified. Under such dense spirit qi of heaven and earth and astral force, he constructed the fourth Divine Vein bit by bit, connecting the acupoints and meridians on the fourth Divine Vein.
Just like that, the night passed quickly.
The next morning, Lin Tian stopped cultivating. He stood up and stretched his arms. He felt that his essence, qi, and spirit had become stronger. When he walked out of the room, the surroundings were very quiet. Many outer courtyard disciples were still sleeping soundly. Lin Tian, as usual, faced the morning sun and breathed. He continued for half an hour before stopping.
At noon, Xu Zhou came again. He brought the reward of the Ranking Battle from the imperial courtyard. It was a Meridian Shield Elixir. It could allow Divine Vein experts to construct their Divine Veins faster. It was needless to say how valuable it was. That night, Lin Tian swallowed the elixir without hesitation. After a night of cultivation, his cultivation directly reached the 4th Sky of the Divine Vein Realm.
The reason why he was able to break through so quickly was because he had refined a Class 7 Demonic Beast's Beast Core in the Corrosive Poison Forest. After that, he had cultivated bitterly for half a month. Originally, his cultivation was about to reach the fourth layer of the Divine Vein Layer. Now, after consuming the Channel Shielding Pill, breaking through to a new level was naturally a matter of course.
"Hmph!"
Feeling the power of the 4th Sky of the Divine Vein Realm, Lin Tian couldn't help but sneer.
Now, he wasn't far from Leng Feng's cultivation level.
For the next two days, Lin Tian didn't step out of his room. He had been consolidating his cultivation level. After all, he had broken through too quickly during this period of time. He had to stabilize his foundation.
Soon, another day passed.
In the afternoon, Lin Tian walked out of his room and prepared to go to the imperial courtyard's Cultivation Area to take a look.
Just as he opened the door, a yellow-clothed youth jumped out from the side and shouted, "Brother-in-law!"
