The Hermit Peak was more like a vertical country, a huge beehive made up of countless caves.
The so-called caves were vast lands built on top of the Five Fingers Peak. Above these caves, there were forests, rivers, lakes, springs, and luxurious buildings.
In short, everything that could be seen on the surface could be found on the Hermit Peak. Moreover, the Hermit Peak was surrounded by a unique aura. If one were to plant immortal herbs here, they would grow better and of better quality.
Therefore, many of the grotto-heavens in the Hermit Peak were specially used to cultivate immortal herbs. Even the extremely precious Level Four immortal herbs in the eyes of Xing Jue could be found in large amounts here.
The Hermit Peak was divided into two layers, the Upper Cloud and the Lower Cloud. The Lower Cloud was where the disciples and receiving elders lived, while the Upper Cloud was where the true disciples and inheritance elders lived.
The Upper Cloud and the Lower Cloud were the boundaries. The true disciples could enter the Lower Cloud, but the disciples were not allowed to enter the Upper Cloud. If they trespassed, the consequences would be dire.
At this moment, in one of the caves under the Lower Cloud, there was a courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by rare herbs, willows, pines, and bamboos. The environment was very pleasant. The name of this cave was called the Meditative Cave.
In the courtyard, a handsome young man was lying on a rocking chair, staring blankly at the purple clouds that were constantly flying past and the white clouds that were the dividing line. This person was Xing Jue.
It had been a full month since Xing Jue had entered the Hermit Peak. During this month, Xing Jue had already integrated into this huge force and become a member of this place.
As for Bao 'er, when she first arrived, she said that she didn't want to join the sect with Xing Jue. Therefore, no one knew where she went. However, without her, Xing Jue was a lot more relaxed.
"Becoming a true disciple is still a long way off. Looks like I have to increase my strength as soon as possible."
Xing Jue turned his wrist and a cloud-like gas appeared in his palm. It was a token. However, it was formed by a special gas.
This strange medallion had a special name, the Merit Medallion. Every disciple had a Merit Medallion. After completing the sect's missions, they would be able to obtain the corresponding Merit Medallion. This so-called Merit Medallion was very useful in the Hermit Peak.
For example, cultivation resources, healing medicines, proof of joining the sect, and even the qualification to participate in the True Disciple test required merit points. On the other hand, without merit points, even if one became a disciple of the Hermit Peak, they wouldn't be able to obtain anything.
During this month, Xing Jue had not been idle. He had been continuously completing tasks for the sect. However, after a whole month, Xing Jue had only obtained 1,000 merit points.
"Sigh ~ ~" Xing Jue couldn't help but let out a long sigh as he looked at the number 1000 on the Merit Plate.
His goal for entering the Hermit Peak was very simple. It was to obtain the Luosha Stone. Currently, Xing Jue had vaguely determined the location of the Luosha Stone. However, only true disciples and inheritance elders could enter that place.
Therefore, the first thing Xing Jue had to do was to become a true disciple of the Hermit Peak. The Hermit Peak would take an examination to become a true disciple once a year.
There was no cultivation requirement to participate in the examination to become a true disciple. As long as one had the confidence, one could participate. However, there was a prerequisite to participate in the examination to become a true disciple. That was to spend 100,000 merit points.
What did 100,000 merit points mean? It meant that some disciples wouldn't be able to accumulate enough merit points in their lifetime. Therefore, no one would waste 100,000 merit points to participate in the examination to become a true disciple unless they were 100% confident.
During this month, Xing Jue did nothing but carried out the sect's tasks with all his might in order to accumulate 100,000 merit points as soon as possible so that he could participate in the examination to become a true disciple.
However, after a month, Xing Jue had been busy almost non-stop, but he had only obtained 1,000 merit points. This gave Xing Jue a huge headache because there was still a long way to go before he could reach 100,000 merit points.
Swish! Swish!
Just as Xing Jue let out a long sigh, two rays of purple light flew rapidly and finally fell into Xing Jue's cave. They were two young men.
One of them was tall and the other was thin, while the other was short and fat. The thin and tall one was called Li Long and the short and fat one was called Li Hu. Yes, they were a pair of brothers. Although they looked completely different, it was the truth.
"Xing Jue, it's almost time. Let's go!" Before Li Hu and Li Long entered the courtyard, a loud voice came into Xing Jue's Second Senior High School.
During this month, besides carrying out the sect's tasks and going back and forth to the place where he received the tasks, Xing Jue didn't stay in any cave of the Hermit Peak.
The reason why he was able to befriend these two brothers was that they happened to be companions during a task. During the task, Xing Jue saved their lives. Therefore, the two of them became brothers with Xing Jue and often visited Xing Jue.
"Do you two really want to come with me? 1,000 merit points. Have you thought about it? "Seeing that the two of them really came to find him, Xing Jue smiled and said.
The Hermit Peak was very special. No matter what they did, they needed to use merit points to exchange for it. This meant that without merit points, there would be no cultivation resources and no way to learn the combat skills of the Hermit Peak.
Even if they had merit points, if they wanted to cultivate the powerful combat skills of the Hermit Peak, they would need to pay a huge price. That was to become a disciple of a sect.
Becoming a disciple of a sect was to become a disciple of the Hermit Peak's guidance elder. Then, the guidance elder would teach them combat skills. However, there was a price to pay for becoming a disciple of a sect.
An ordinary guidance elder would only need 500 merit points to successfully become a disciple of a sect. However, the elder that Xing Jue and the other two wanted to become a disciple of was rather special. They needed 1,000 merit points to have the opportunity to become a disciple of a sect.
The reason why it was said to have the opportunity was because if they wanted to become a disciple of the elder, they would need to pass the elder's test. The 1,000 merit points were only the qualification to participate in the test.
However, there was naturally a special reason why that elder was so special. That was, his strength was extremely tyrannical. Normally, the elders who received them were only at the High Rank Asura Martial Ancestor level.
However, this elder was an Asura named Wu Zun. He did not master King Tier combat skills, but Royal Tier combat skills.
For Xing Jue, who had already cultivated the Limitless Palm Technique and the Eighth Stage Heavenly Sound Technique, he would not waste 500 merit points to become a disciple of a useless guidance elder.
The reason why he wanted to become a disciple of this elder was because Xing Jue had heard that the elder had mastered a Royal Tier movement combat skill. Moreover, this combat skill could only be cultivated by an Asura Martial Master.
Right now, Xing Jue's offensive battle skills were already very powerful, but he didn't know a single agility battle skill. If he encountered a true expert in the future, it would inevitably become a fatal weakness for Xing Jue. Therefore, if he wanted to learn a stronger agility battle skill, it would become a must for Xing Jue.
"We brothers think that what you said is very reasonable. If we want to become a disciple, we should become a disciple with a promising future. Otherwise, we might as well not do it." Li Long and Li Hu nodded.
"Then let's go!"
Seeing that the two of them were ready, Xing Jue flew into the sky on the purple mist. He flew towards his destination that day at an extremely fast speed. That place was called Zhuge Wonderland.
Zhuge Wonderland was the residence of Elder Zhuge. When Elder Zhuge was young, he was originally a true disciple of the Hermit Peak. Moreover, he was a very powerful disciple. With his strength, he should have been above the clouds and become an inheritance elder.
However, due to some reason, he moved from above the clouds to below the clouds and became a guidance elder here.
However, no matter what, this was a great thing for the disciples below the clouds. Not to mention the guidance of such a powerful expert, just being able to become Elder Zhuge's disciple was an incomparable honor.
Therefore, at this moment, there was a sea of people outside the Zhuge Wonderland. It was extremely lively. That day, there were actually hundreds of disciples who wanted to become Elder Zhuge's disciples.
"Damn, no way? Why are there so many people? "
Looking at the scene in front of them, Xing Jue and the other two could not help but open their mouths wide. The other elders' caves would have a disciple every one or two months, which was already good enough. However, Elder Zhuge's cave was filled with people every day. The difference was too big.
"Why are there three Beginner Level Asura Martial Master? Could it be that this kind of trash wants to become Elder Zhuge's disciple? "
"That's right. What a fantasy!"
"Maybe they think that they have too many merit points and have nowhere to spend them!"
However, what Xing Jue and the other two did not expect was that as soon as they landed, they actually became the focus of everyone's attention. However, everyone's eyes were filled with disdain, as if they were looking at clowns.
They could not be blamed for this. Almost all the people who dared to come here were Intermediate Level Asura Martial Master, and some had even reached Advanced Level Asura Martial Master.
However, even so, it was said that only a few people could pass Elder Zhuge's test. That was because it had been more than 20 years since Elder Zhuge came under the clouds, but it was said that there were no more than 20 disciples. In other words, on average, only one person could pass Elder Zhuge's test every year. This was enough to show how strict the test was.
However, it was worth mentioning that all of those 20 disciples had become Successor Disciples. There were even some special existences that had become Successor Elders. This was another important reason why so many people wanted to become Elder Zhuge's disciples.
However, everyone knew how difficult it was to become Elder Zhuge's disciple. Therefore, when Xing Jue and the other two Beginner Level Asura Martial Master arrived, they were naturally looked down upon by everyone. They thought that they were reckless and had a wild imagination.
Xing Jue was already mentally prepared for everyone's disdainful gazes. He simply ignored everyone and found a stone chair to sit on.
As for the two brothers, Li Long and Li Hu, who were naturally thick-skinned, they naturally would not be disturbed by the crowd's disdain. They sat beside Xing Jue. However, the two brothers actually sat on the ground.
Swoosh.
Just at this moment, another ray of purple light shot down, and when it descended, it caused a commotion in the crowd.
This was a handsome man who exuded a somewhat evil aura. His appearance successfully caused the female disciples present to boil with excitement, and he actually didn't keep a distance from them. He began to mingle with the rather handsome female disciples present, whispering sweet nothings to each other, and it was very ambiguous.
"Who is he?"
Xing Jue asked Li Long. He was not curious because of the man's elegance, but because of his strength.
That was because the man was actually a Advanced Level Asura Martial Master. Moreover, his aura could be said to be the strongest among everyone present. Moreover, his age was actually similar to Xing Jue's.
