The strongest person in the cultivation world!
Ever since Qin Shujian pulled out the mountain and hugged the peak, this name had been faintly circulating.
To this.
Some people scoffed. They thought that the cultivation world was vast and boundless. Qin Shujian had just broken through to the Sky Human Realm not long ago. What right did he have to be called the strongest?
However, there were others who deeply agreed with him.
Most of the people who agreed were from the top sects.
The higher one's position was, the more things one could see.
However, no matter what the outside world said, Qin Shujian turned a deaf ear to it.
To him.
As long as he had enough strength, he did not need to worry too much about reputation.
With his current strength, he had already passed the point where he needed to build up his reputation.
After a while.
Qin Shujian lived in seclusion and cultivated silently.
It was not that there were no changes brought about by this name.
The biggest change was.
It was that Cold Mountain City was currently overcrowded.
Indirectly, it caused many people to gather in other cities of the Cold Mountain Spiritual Domain.
Although these cities were not close to the Yuan Sect, they had teleportation doors that were connected to Cold Mountain City.
If anything happened, these people could use the teleportation doors to reach Cold Mountain City immediately.
In the secret cultivation room.
Ning Yue was sitting cross-legged, circulating her cultivation technique.
As an outer sect disciple, he cultivated the common cultivation method of the Yuan Sect, the Martial Arts chapter of the Guiyuan Ancestral Scripture.
After an unknown amount of time.
A buzzing sound came from Nyingbo's body. Then, the sound of his bones and tendons exploding could be heard. It was as if he had opened some Hidden Gate. Then, a surge of boiling Qi and blood surged.
After a while.
Nyingbo opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.
"Sixth level of the Basic Realm, Qi and blood at its peak!"
Nyingbo knew the changes in his body like the back of his hand.
It had been almost four months since he had entered the Yuan Sect.
Ever since he had swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill made by Qin Shujian, Nyingbo seemed to have been reborn. His cultivation speed had soared.
In just a few months, he had reached the sixth level of the Basic Realm, the peak of Qi and blood.
"One year of the Genuine Force, three years of the Spiritual Martial Force!"
Thinking of this, Nyingbo took a deep breath.
In the past, he did not know what True Martial Arts represented. However, now that he had entered the Yuan Sect, he understood the division of cultivation levels.
Entering the martial arts world was merely laying the foundation.
Only then could Zhenwu be considered to have reached a higher level and truly crossed the threshold of cultivation.
According to Nyingbo's understanding, breaking through to the True Martial Realm in one year was not an easy task. Many Outer Sect Disciples had to spend two or three years to slowly step into the True Martial Realm.
It was so much so that for some people, even before they had entered the Yuan Sects, they had already possessed powerful cultivations. After entering the Yuan Sects, they had to spend a year or two to reach the True Martial Realm.
You have to know.
Every single person who was able to enter Yuan Sect was not weak in terms of talent.
Even so, it would take at least three years to break through to the True Martial Realm, or even longer.
Regarding this.
Nyingbo had only been in the Zhenwu Realm for a year. How difficult would it be?
However, now that he had broken through to the peak of his Qi and blood, Nyingbo let out a sigh of relief.
"There are still about eight months before the one year deadline. I am now at the sixth level of the Rudimentary Martial Realm. There are still four levels and one hurdle before I reach the True Martial Realm."
"According to my current progress, it would take about seven or eight months to reach the tenth level of the Rudimentary Martial Realm, even if I cultivate step by step."
"The most difficult part should be the transformation from the Rudimentary Martial Realm to the True Martial Realm."
The joy in Ning Yu's heart because of the breakthrough had been greatly restrained.
The transformation from the Rudimentary Martial Realm to the True Martial Realm was the most difficult.
As far as he knew, some people who had reached the tenth level of the Rudimentary Martial Realm had spent months or even a year to break through this threshold.
Although Nyingbo believed that his talent was not bad, he was not one hundred percent sure that he could break through in a fixed amount of time.
Immediately.
He thought about it again. "One year to reach the True Martial Realm is only a requirement. There is also the Disciple Competition next year. It is not that easy to stand out among the many disciples and take first place."
Thinking of this.
Nyingbo immediately came out of seclusion and walked towards the outer sect deacon.
Along the way.
He had also met quite a number of people.
To this.
Nyingbo passed by most of them. Only those he was familiar with would nod and greet.
In the inner hall where the outer sect deacon was.
Bi Chang was sitting there drinking tea. As the outer sect deacon, he had nothing to do.
Drinking tea.
That was just the normal process.
At this moment, Nyingbo walked in from outside. He cupped his hands and said, "Disciple Nyingbo greets Deacon Bi!"
"Oh, Nyingbo is here. Sit down!"
Bi Chang raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on his face.
When his gaze fell on Nyingbo, he was surprised again.
"You broke through to the sixth level of the Rudimentary Martial Realm?"
"I broke through by luck."
"A breakthrough is a breakthrough. There is no such thing as luck. Sometimes, being too modest is meaningless." Bi Chang said, and then he sighed. "You broke through to the sixth level of the Rudimentary Martial Realm from nothing in four months. Your natural talent is extraordinary indeed."
Broke through to the sixth level of the Rudimentary Martial Realm in four months.
Bi Chang thought about his past and noticed that it was slightly unbearable.
At that time, he seemed to have spent four months and was still at the first level of the Rudimentary Martial Realm. His natural talent was so poor that it made one's hair stand on end.
It was all thanks to Yuan Zong's advancement that he was able to attain his current accomplishments. He had forcefully pulled a pig to the Spirit God Realm.
Cough cough.
Of course, Bi Chang didn't think that he was that pig.
However, it was a fact that his natural talent was poor.
At least when compared to Nyingbo, Bi Chang was so ashamed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
However, he quickly recovered.
As a Spirit God Realm expert, a cultivator at the sixth level of the Rudimentary Martial Realm could be destroyed with a wave of his hand. What Bi Chang truly cared about was Nyingbo's natural talent.
After that.
Bi Chang said, "But there's something I have to tell you. A person's bitter cultivation might not be a good thing. Besides his own cultivation, a cultivator needs to have the ability to deal with his enemies.
If you blindly cultivate without any real practice, you may end up dying once you encounter a strong enemy. "" That's right. You have a high cultivation level but no corresponding strength. "
Nyingbo nodded in deep agreement and said, "Deacon, you're right. I came here this time precisely for this matter."
"Tell me about it."
"Disciple has been in the sect for so long, yet there are many things that I don't know as clearly as Deacon. I wonder what I should do now. I hope Deacon won't be stingy with your guidance!"
Nyingbo cupped his hands and spoke sincerely.
When he heard this.
Bi Chang pondered deeply in silence.
He'd always wanted to find an opportunity to form a relationship with Nyingbo.
After all, Qin Shujian had brought Bi Chang here. If nothing unexpected happened, then Bi Chang would have a high status in Yuan Zong in the future.
Now he saw Bi Chang's cultivation talent.
Bi Chang was almost 100% sure that Nyingbo would become Qin Shujian's disciple.
This was no small matter.
If he had a good relationship with the future disciple of the Sect Master, he would be able to sit comfortably in his position as Deacon.
Therefore, when Ning Ruo asked, Bi Chang was also seriously considering this problem. He was thinking about how to give the best suggestion so that the other party would owe him a favor.
After thinking for a while, Bi Chang didn't answer first. Instead, he asked, "Does the Sect Master have any requirements for you?"
"Break through to the Real Martial Realm in one year and win the first place in the disciple's competition next year."
"Break through to the Real Martial Realm in one year and win the first place in the disciple's competition."
Bi Chang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
This requirement might be difficult for others, but for Nyingbo, it might not be impossible.
Moreover —
Since Qin Shujian had made a request to Nyingbo, needless to say, it must be a request for him to accept a disciple.
Right now, the Sect Master was known as the strongest person in the cultivation world.
For such a person to accept a disciple, he naturally wouldn't accept just anyone.
Bi Chang thought for a while, then said, "If I remember correctly, you should have entered the sect in August. It's already December now. Next year's disciple's competition should be held around May.
The disciple's competition is divided into several levels.
The Basic Martial Realm is one group, and the Real Martial Realm is divided into several levels. "
"If you have a year, you only need to break through to the Real Martial Realm before August next year, and there won't be any problems."
"Therefore, my suggestion is that after you reach the tenth tier of the Basic Martial Realm, don't rush to break through your realm. Suppress it a little and let yourself stay in the Basic Martial Realm. After the competition, break through to the Real Martial Realm."
"This way, your chances of winning first place in the competition will be very high. But if you want to compete in the True Martial Realm, to be honest, you've only been in the cultivation world for less than a year. It won't be easy to beat them."
Speaking of this, Bi Chang was stunned for a moment.
What did he mean? He seemed to be 100% sure that Nyingbo would break through to the Real Martial Realm before the competition.
Bi Chang couldn't help but wonder if Lin Fan's talent was so high that he had absolute confidence in it.
Just as Bi Chang was doubting himself.
Nyingbo nodded as if he had understood something. He said, "Deacon Bi's words are correct."
If he did that, he would be suspected of taking advantage of the situation.
But if he really did that, his chances of winning the competition would be much higher.
"Ahem!"
Bi Chang coughed twice, interrupting Lin Fan's thoughts. He said, "Don't underestimate those in the tenth tier of the Basic Martial Realm. There are many cultivators in the sect who are stuck at the limit of the Basic Martial Realm and are only one step away from the Real Martial Realm.
Some of these people have problems with their talent, and some deliberately suppress their realms. When it comes to true strength, even if they challenge those in a higher realm, they still have a chance. "
"Deliberately suppress their realms?"
Nyingbo was astonished.
He suppressed his realms in order to become Qin Shujian's disciple. Then why did the others suppress their realms?
It couldn't be for the Grand Competition!
As if he could read Nyingbo's mind, Bi Chang said, "You guessed right. The reason they suppress their realms is for the Grand Competition."
Without waiting for Nyingbo to speak.
Bi Chang continued, "Perhaps you don't know what the rewards of the Grand Competition are. The first place or the top three in each level of the Grand Competition will be given a chance to enter the Secret Realm.
Other than entering the Secret Realm, there are also Cultivation Methods, Martial Arts, and various resources as rewards.
These rewards are generous. If it wasn't for the Grand Competition, it would take a long time to complete missions to obtain these resources. "
"Secret Realm?" Nyingbo was puzzled.
This was the first time he had heard of this name.
Bi Chang smiled and said, "You just came to the sect not long ago. It's normal that you haven't heard of the Secret Realm. The Secret Realm is a space treasure created by the Sect Master himself. That day, it attracted many experts to come and observe.
After the Secret Realm was created, it has been sealed and no one has ever entered it.
But according to the news from the sect, the Spiritual Qi in the Secret Realm is extremely rich. Cultivating for a day in the Secret Realm is better than cultivating for a month outside. "
Seeing the shocked look on Nyingbo's face.
Bi Chang continued, "And because of the rich Spiritual Qi, if you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation, the success rate of breaking through in the Secret Realm is much higher than outside."
"Besides the Spiritual Qi, it is said that there are other benefits in 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 Grand Competition.
Speaking of which, I believe you understand how important the Grand Competition is.
It is normal for some people to suppress their realms in order to get a place in the Secret Realm. "
Hearing this.
Nyingbo finally understood why some people would suppress their realms.
The Secret Realm!
When he thought of this, his eyes lit up.
Others wanted a place in the Secret Realm, so did Nyingbo.
And he had to get the first place in the Grand Competition. Otherwise, he would lose the opportunity to be Qin Shujian's disciple.
If he couldn't be Qin Shujian's disciple.
Then he might as well have been Gong Mingze's disciple.
So, either he didn't do it, or he did it to the best of his ability.
Bi Chang said, "I won't say much about the disciples above the Basic Realm. I just want to tell you one thing. Don't underestimate anyone in the Basic Realm Grand Competition. The level of danger is not much lower than that of the True Martial Realm.
I see that you have been cultivating wholeheartedly for the past few months. Although you have reached a certain realm, you can't really use much of your strength.
To put it bluntly, a cultivator of the third or fourth stage of the New Martial Realm who has been through hundreds of battles would have the chance to kill you. Even a disciple of the fifth stage of the New Martial Realm could defeat you. "
Bi Chang said, "Don't think that I am fooling you. A cultivator's strength and realm are one aspect, and battle experience is another aspect. Both are indispensable. If the gap between realms is too big, then no amount of battle experience can make up for it.
Similarly, if the difference in cultivation level wasn't too great, it wouldn't be difficult for a cultivator with rich combat experience to kill a cultivator with no combat experience.
On the day of the Grand Competition, you will face many cultivators of the same realm. At that time, your shortcomings will be infinitely magnified. Not to mention first place, you might not even have a chance to be in the top three. "
Nyingbo's expression kept changing.
After a long time.
He suddenly stood up, bowed deeply, and said sincerely, "I hope that Deacon can help me!"
Since Bi Chang had said so much, he must have a solution.
So.
Nyingbo also hoped that Bi Chang could give him some pointers.
Nyingbo had been in the outside world for so many years. Although he was young, he had seen all kinds of people. He had a way of figuring out people's hearts.
Bi Chang's actions today also meant that he wanted to do him a favor.
As for why he wanted to do him a favor, it was because of Qin Shujian.
Bi Chang also hoped that he could become Qin Shujian's disciple. At that time, he would benefit, and so would Qin Shujian.
Because of this.
After Nyingbo spoke, he immediately added, "If Deacon is willing to give me some pointers, I will not forget Deacon's kindness. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay you generously."
"Haha, you are too polite."
Bi Chang was in a good mood.
Why did he say so much? Wasn't it because he was waiting for Bi Chang to say that?
Nyingbo was good, so Bi Chang would not be stingy.
"You should know about the Book Collection Pavilion!"
"I know."
Nyingbo nodded.
He knew a little about the Book Collection Pavilion.
After all, it was a place to learn Cultivation Methods and Martial Arts. How could Nyingbo not know about it?
Bi Chang looked around and then said, "Outer disciples have a second chance to enter the Book Collection Pavilion by spending a certain amount of contribution points. Generally speaking, the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion contains Cultivation Methods and Martial Arts of the Real Martial Arts Realm."
"Deacon, you want me to go to the Book Collection Pavilion to practice Martial Arts?"
"Yes."
"With my current strength, I am afraid it will not be easy to master Martial Arts of the Real Martial Arts Realm."
"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."
Bi Chang smiled mysteriously and said, "On the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion, the eighteenth row of bookshelves is the third floor from the bottom to the top. Then from left to right, on page 67 of the twenty-third book, there is a sword movement.
If you can master this sword movement, no one will be your opponent in the Grand Competition next year. "
"Deacon, are you serious?"
"Haha, of course." Bi Chang said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, there is no third person who knows this secret. I saw it by accident when I went to the Book Collection Pavilion in the past. Plus, this sword movement is hidden.
I am sure that no one else knows about it except me. Now at most, you are the only one who knows about it. "
After saying that.
Bi Chang's face became serious and he said, "But this is only between you and me. You can't mention it to others without permission. Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you when your enemy fails miserably in the future."
"Deacon, don't worry. I understand."
When he saw how serious Bi Chang was, Nyingbo replied solemnly as well.
He wasn't an idiot. If there really was such a sword movement, then it would definitely be better if fewer people knew about it.
At the very least.
He couldn't allow others to find out about it before the competition came to an end. If someone else learned it and defeated him instead, then he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
However, Nyingbo was curious in his heart as well, and he couldn't help but ask. "May I know the rank of that sword technique?"
"Truthfully speaking, I don't dare confirm its rank, but it's at least at the Divine Rank. No, it isn't just at the Divine Rank. It's probably at the high-grade of the Divine Rank or perhaps an incomplete God Rank martial technique."
Bi Chang shook his head because he didn't dare confirm it as well.
That sword technique was too profound.
Even a cultivator at the Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm like him only knew a little about it.
High-grade of the Divine Rank!
God Rank!
Nyingbo revealed a bewildered expression.
Regarding this.
Bi Chang explained patiently and said, "The martial techniques cultivated at the Basic Rank are at the Mortal Rank. The True Rank corresponds to the Truth Rank, the Spirit Rank corresponds to the Spirit Rank, the Divine Rank corresponds to the God Rank, and the Diviner Rank corresponds to the God Rank.
Now, you should understand how important this sword technique is, right? "
"..."
Nyingbo nodded in deep agreement.
He finally understood why Bi Chang spoke so mysteriously about it.
He felt that the level of that sword technique was actually so high.
After his pleasant surprise, Nyingbo quickly recovered from his shock. "If it's really like that, then I'm unable to cultivate such a formidable martial technique with my current strength, right?"
"What do you know?"
Bi Chang glanced at him and said with disdain, "A martial technique at this level relies on comprehension. Even if you're able to comprehend a tiny portion of it, it's an extremely important matter. The amount you comprehend is your own.
Even if you're unable to bring forth its entire might, even a hundredth of it is sufficient to easily annihilate those cultivators at the Basic Rank. "
As they spoke.
Bi Chang said, "Hand over your identity token!"
Although Nyingbo did not understand, he still handed over his identity token respectfully.
He only saw Bi Chang take out his own identity token and put the two together. Then, he returned Nyingbo's identity token.
"To enter the second floor of the library, you'll need a hundred contribution points. I saw that you've just entered the Sect not long ago, so it's impossible for you to obtain any contribution points. So, I've transferred some contribution points to you.
Remember, this is only a loan to you. You'll have to return it in full in the future. "
Nyingbo reached out and took the identity token. Seeing that the contribution points on it had increased from zero to a hundred, he immediately said gratefully, "Deacon, I'll definitely repay your kindness in the future."
A hundred contribution points, to him now, was like charcoal in snowy weather.
During this period of time, Nyingbo had been cultivating. He did not have the time to complete any missions, let alone the opportunity to obtain any contribution points.
Bi Chang said, "Don't be in such a hurry to thank me. There's one more thing I have to tell you."
"Deacon, please speak!"
"According to the rules, if a disciple has been in the Sect for half a year and has not been promoted to an inner disciple, he'll have to pay a hundred contribution points to the Sect every month. Otherwise, he'll be expelled from the Sect.
Now that you've been in the Sect for four months, you still have two months to enjoy yourself. After two months, you'll have to pay a hundred contribution points per month according to the rules.
I can't help you much with these contribution points. You'll have to figure it out yourself. "
"If I can't be promoted to an inner disciple within half a year, I'll have to pay a hundred contribution points per month?"
Nyingbo almost thought that he had misheard.
Was this a joke?
He knew one thing about the requirements to be promoted to an inner disciple, that was, to break through to the Real Martial Realm.
From Bi Chang's attitude, he was already an amazing person to break through to the Real Martial Realm in a year.
What did it mean to break through to the Real Martial Realm in half a year?
All of a sudden.
Nyingbo felt the deep malice of the Sect from Bi Chang's words.
Bi Chang glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Some things are better understood in your heart. There's no need to say it out loud. Anyway, rules are rules. Everyone has to abide by them. Anyone who breaks the rules will not have a good ending.
It's actually not difficult to earn a hundred contribution points per month. If you're strong enough, you can spend some time and complete a few missions. You'll be able to get it. "
"Thank you for your advice, Deacon. I know what to do."
Nyingbo took a deep breath and bowed again to express his gratitude.
If Bi Chang hadn't spoken, he would have been completely blind in many things.
