The Chillywind Valley's death-deciding stage was a famous death-deciding stage in the Cultivation Realm. This was because a cold wind would appear here from time to time, and this cold wind was very strong. Even if a Golden Core Stage Cultivator was blown by this cold wind, their golden core would immediately be frozen and they would directly fall into the Chillywind Valley and die.
But if the Battle Slaves were to fight in the Chillywind Valley, as long as they were blown by the wind, then they would die. The cold wind in the Chillywind Valley would appear from time to time. Sometimes, the cold wind would blow for several days, and sometimes, it would go on for more than a month without any cold wind appearing.
Because of this, all the people who bet in the Chillywind Valley had three choices. The first one was to bet on Party A winning, the second one was to bet on Party B winning, and the third one was to bet on both parties dying under the chillywind.
It was precisely because of this variable that the Chillywind Valley's death-deciding platform was more attractive and more attractive. It was one of the more popular death-deciding platforms in the Cultivation World.
Zhang Feng calmly looked at the Chillywind Valley's death-deciding stage. There were two Cultivators fighting there. One of them was a Battle Slave of the Black Tiger Gang. But it was clear that the Battle Slave of the Black Tiger Gang wasn't a match for the other person.
Zhang Feng didn't have any expression. In fact, his mind wasn't here at all. He was currently thinking about Zhao Hai's situation.
Zhao Hai has been in the Invisible Valley for five days. During these five days, Zhao Hai didn't have any reaction. He just stayed in the Invisible Valley. Every day, he would turn some waste pills into good ones. Otherwise, he would be busy with the matters of the Invisible Valley.
The reason why Zhang Feng was able to monitor Zhao Hai was because he had done something to Zhao Hai's identity jade token. Zhao Hai's identity jade token was the Black Tiger Gang's Outer Disciple Jade Token. However, Zhao Hai's Outer Disciple Jade Token was different from other Outer Disciple Jade Tokens. This Jade Token was specially processed by Zhang Feng. There was a formation inside the Jade Token that could monitor Zhao Hai's every move.
It wasn't that Zhang Feng didn't trust Zhao Hai. It was just that Zhao Hai was too important. It wasn't easy for Zhao Hai to escape his control. Because of this, Zhang Feng's monitoring of Zhao Hai was very strict.
Zhao Hai also knew that Zhang Feng had been monitoring him. However, he had already thought of a way to break the formation. He had the Space make another Jade Token and then carried it on his body. This Jade Token could break the formation inside the Jade Token that Zhang Feng gave him. At the same time, it could also send false information to Zhang Feng.
In fact, Zhao Hai had been staying inside the Space for the past few days. He was observing the Outer Disciples of the Black Tiger Gang and collecting information about the gang. He didn't stay in the Invisible Valley at all. He just left some Undead in the Invisible Valley to clear the garbage from the transmission formation.
The Outer Sect of the Black Tiger Gang was very big. There were also countless service disciples. Zhao Hai now had a certain understanding of the Black Tiger Gang's sphere of influence. The Black Tiger Gang was located in the northeast of the Northern Strange Region. There was a huge mountain range here called the Black Tiger Mountain. The Black Tiger Gang's territory spanned from east to west. It was about 50,000 li long. Outside the mountain range was the territory of the Wandering Soul Gang. Behind the Black Tiger Mountain was the territory of the Black Tiger Gang.
The Black Tiger Gang's territory was divided into several parts. In fact, the Black Tiger Gang's headquarters was located in the Black Tiger Mountain. First, it was because the spiritual qi in the Black Tiger Mountain was the most abundant. Second, it was to deal with the Wandering Soul Gang.
The Wandering Soul Gang was a ghost cultivator gang. They were famous for having a lot of ghost cultivators, and these ghost cultivators were very powerful. In addition, they were ruthless and had strange spells. They were quite famous in the Northern Strange Region.
The Black Tiger Gang and the Wandering Soul Gang didn't have a good relationship. In fact, there was friction between the two gangs. However, there weren't any big conflicts. Generally speaking, they lived in harmony.
Behind the Black Tiger Mountain, there was a continuous hilly area. This was the location of the Black Tiger Sect's outer court. A large number of odd job disciples and outer court disciples lived here. Because this hilly area was too big, the Black Tiger Gang couldn't completely occupy this area. There were also a large number of demon beasts living in the hills. There were also some special forbidden areas, which were the solid backing of the Black Tiger Gang.
In these huge hills, not only were there medicinal fields opened up by the Black Tiger Gang, but there were also mineral veins that the gang needed. Most importantly, there were a lot of wild herbs and countless demon beasts. These were very important things for cultivators. Most of the Black Tiger Gang's resources came from here.
After this hilly area, there was a valley with a river of fire flowing through it. It was called the Raging Fire Valley. Opposite the Raging Fire Valley was the territory of another medium-sized gang in the Northern Strange Region, the Raging Flame Sect.
Zhao Hai's current location was a huge valley not far from the Raging Fire Valley. According to legend, this valley was originally known as the Golden Essence Valley because of its Gold Essence. However, after countless years of mining, the Gold Essence Valley had long since been emptied out, leaving behind only a huge valley. Later on, it was used as a garbage dump.
The mountains near the Invisible Valley were filled with useless stones. Even the grass was malnourished. There were no ores, so almost no one would come here. Even Demonic Beasts wouldn't come to this kind of island where they couldn't even take a dump.
However, Zhao Hai discovered that the Black Tiger Gang wasn't even considered a gang. It was more like a country of cultivators. In this country, the people living at the bottom were undoubtedly the janitor disciples. They were similar to the commoners of other countries. They could do all kinds of chores. At the same time, they could also cultivate. In the process of doing chores, the gang would give them some rewards. They would use these rewards to cultivate, hoping that one day they could become an Outer Court Disciple.
There was a big difference between janitor disciples and Outer Court Disciples. Janitor disciples had to work every day. Whether it was planting herbs or mining ores, they couldn't stay behind. They had to hand these things over to the gang. Then, the gang would distribute the resources to them.
The miscellaneous disciples of the Black Tiger Gang were given the least amount of resources. The equipment that the miscellaneous disciples of the Black Tiger Gang were given was one mystic artifact, one mystic robe, ten Fasting Pills, one Qi Refining Pill, and five crystals per month.
The artifacts used by the janitor disciples were of the same shape. They were all five feet long sabers. This saber was the lowest grade artifact. Although it could fly, it was very difficult to control. Therefore, this saber could only be used in close combat. No one would use this saber as a flying sword.
The robe was also the most common type. It had almost no defensive ability. It was only because the material was relatively good. Even if it was mining, it wouldn't wear out for several years. The Black Tiger Gang's robes were given out one by one. Therefore, the janitor disciples didn't have to worry about not having enough clothes to wear.
The Fasting Pill was a pill that allowed one to not need to eat. One Fasting Pill could allow a person to not eat for five days. Even if one was doing heavy work, it was the same.
As for the Qi Refining Pill, it was a kind of medicinal pill that assisted in cultivation. Of course, it was the worst kind. Five crystal stones were the universal currency in the Cultivation World. Crystal stones contained spiritual energy, which could be directly absorbed into the body for cultivation. Crystal stones could also be used as money to buy things.
One crystal stone could buy ten Qi Refining Pills, and the spiritual energy produced by five Qi Refining Pills was comparable to absorbing one crystal stone. Therefore, ordinary cultivators would use crystal stones to buy Qi Refining Pills, and not directly absorb crystal stones.
However, the biggest use of crystals wasn't for people to absorb. The biggest use of crystals was to be used in formations or artifacts. These crystals were like fuel, they could provide power to artifacts or formations.
It seemed that the treatment of the Black Tiger Gang's odd-job disciples was not high, but in fact, it was not like this. The treatment of the odd-job disciples of the Black Tiger Gang was very good. They even gave out crystal stones to the odd-job disciples. In some small gangs, not to mention crystal stones, even Refining Qi Pills were only given out once every two months.
As for the Black Tiger Gang's Outer Disciples, their treatment was even better. Each of them would receive a magic robe and an artifact. Every month, they would also receive ten Fasting Pills. However, each of them would receive ten Qi Refining Pills, and each of them would receive fifty crystals per month.
Moreover, Outer Disciples didn't have to work every day like janitor disciples. Among them, except for those who had fixed jobs (like Zhao Hai), the others could rely on doing missions to make a living. Moreover, there was no limit to the number of missions they could do. For example, if you received a difficult mission that had to be completed within a month, then if you only needed ten days to complete it, then the remaining twenty days would be up to you. If you received a mission that required ten days to complete, then you would have to do two more missions this month.
If you didn't complete the mission, then it would depend on the situation. If you didn't complete the mission due to your own reasons, then the number of missions you would have to do next month would be doubled. If you didn't complete the mission due to external reasons, then you wouldn't be punished. However, you wouldn't receive any supplies from the sect that month.
If you became an Inner Disciple, then your status would immediately increase by a hundred times. For Inner Disciples, the gang could tailor an artifact for each of them. If the artifact was damaged, the gang could repair it at any time for free. Magic robes could be received at least once a month, but when you received the magic robes, you would have to return the fake magic robes to receive a new one.
Medicinal pills were even more different. Generally, Inner Sect disciples didn't need to eat anything, so they didn't need Fasting Pills. Qi Refining Pills weren't something that Inner Sect disciples should use. Inner Sect disciples used Peiyuan Pills, which were high grade pills used to consolidate and nurture one's foundation. Moreover, they would also be given a Cleansing Marrow Pill every year. This Cleansing Marrow Pill was used to cleanse one's marrow and tendons. At the same time, it could also help remove impurities from one's body.
Moreover, every Inner Disciple would receive a thousand Essence Stones every month. Every year, they would only need to do three missions. The rest of the time, they could use it to cultivate.
As for Core Disciples, they were even more extraordinary. Almost every Core Disciple wouldn't be restricted by the sect. They could freely use whatever they wanted.
Zhao Hai obtained some of this information from his surveillance over the past few days. But most of it was from the jade slip that Zhang Feng gave him.
Zhao Hai wanted to monitor the Black Tiger Mountain, but he discovered that he couldn't. The Black Tiger Mountain was densely covered with various formations. These formations were very powerful. Even if Liquid Silver wanted to go there, he would have to be very careful. Otherwise, he would be discovered.
Moreover, most of the Inner Disciples and Core Disciples of the Black Tiger Gang, as well as the Elders, lived in the Black Tiger Mountain. If he were to monitor the Black Tiger Mountain, it would be too dangerous. Therefore, Zhao Hai gave up on this plan.
The more he understood about the Black Tiger Gang, the more Zhao Hai feared the Cultivation World. The Black Tiger Gang's janitor disciples all had the strength of a Core Formation Expert. As for Outer Disciples, the lowest requirement was to be at the Transcending Tribulation Stage. In the Cultivation World, this was called the Spirit Refinement Stage. This was the lowest level of existence in the Cultivation World.
In the Cultivation World, the Spirit Refinement Stage was the lowest level of Cultivators. This Spirit Refinement Stage didn't mean that one had to cultivate the soul or anything else. Instead, it meant that if one could obtain faith power, then one could cultivate.
The Cultivation Realm had been researching faith power for many years. They discovered that when one reaches the Spirit Refinement Stage, one can officially cultivate faith power. However, the use and cultivation of faith power wasn't the best. Because of this, no one in the Cultivation Realm would allow a Spirit Refinement Stage cultivator to cultivate faith power. Naturally, this was with the exception of the second generation of the Great Sects. These people were born to eat pills like jelly beans, so cultivating faith power wasn't a big deal.
In the Cultivation World, although the Spirit Refinement Stage was followed by the Transcendence Stage, there was still the Foundation Building Stage. However, this Foundation Building Stage wasn't recognized by the Great Sects. In the Cultivation World, the Spirit Refinement Stage was divided into ten layers. After the tenth layer, one could enter the Foundation Building Stage. The Foundation Building Stage only had two layers. The second layer was the best time to cultivate faith power. Therefore, strictly speaking, the Foundation Building Stage was only a part of the Spirit Refinement Stage. You can also directly call it the eleventh and twelfth layers of the Spirit Refinement Stage.
However, some of the lower level Cultivators of the Great Sects still called the eleventh and twelfth layers of the Spirit Refinement Stage the Foundation Building Stage. This was because reaching the eleventh and twelfth layers of the Spirit Refinement Stage was as difficult as passing a checkpoint. It required the assistance of pills. For the upper level Cultivators, a few pills were enough. But for the lower level Cultivators, it was very difficult because the pills needed to pass this checkpoint were very precious. Many of the lower level Cultivators were stuck at the tenth layer of the Spirit Refinement Stage for their whole lives. They couldn't cultivate to the eleventh and twelfth layers of the Spirit Refinement Stage, so the eleventh and twelfth layers of the Spirit Refinement Stage were called the Foundation Building Stage.
Once you reached the second layer of the Foundation Building Stage, as long as you passed the Sect's assessment, you could officially enter the Inner Sect and be allocated faith power. Then you could cultivate further and finally reach the Transcendence Stage, officially reaching the Transcendence Stage.
The Foundation Building Stage in the Cultivation World was almost equivalent to the Severed Soul Stage in the Cultivation World. However, the Foundation Building Stage disciples were much more powerful than the Severed Soul Stage experts in the Cultivation World. The Black Tiger Gang didn't know how many Foundation Building Stage disciples there were. Even if they reached the Transcendence Stage, the Black Tiger Gang still had tens of thousands of Inner Sect disciples. It could be imagined how many experts there were in the Cultivation World. Zhao Hai didn't dare to mess around.
