"System, help me identify what kind of item this Inferior Spiritual Crystal is."
"The Inferior Spiritual Crystal in your hand is formed from the essence of heaven and earth for hundreds of millions of years. It can be used to increase one's cultivation."
"Hundreds of millions of years!"
Ning Qi was shocked.
No wonder he had never seen a Spiritual Crystal in the Qin Tang Empire or even the White Tiger Empire.
This was the same as the jade on earth. But it had one more function than the jade, which was to increase one's cultivation.
The Cloud Rising Sect used Spiritual Crystals instead of silver and gold. The Nine States Empire and the other nine great clans would probably do the same. At their level, silver and gold were no longer a common currency.
Unknowingly, Ning Qi walked into a remote alley.
A few black figures appeared in front of him.
When Ning Qi saw this, he turned around and saw that there were also a few black shadows behind him.
"Young man, you just arrived at Cloud Rising City. How can you not pay your respects?"
A strong middle-aged man had a grim smile on his face as he slowly approached Ning Qi.
This group of people were not weak. Each of them was a one-star King of Fighting. The middle-aged man was even a two-star King of Fighting!
Ning Qi smiled, "Who are you? What business do you have blocking this little brother's path? "
"I am the Guardian of the Black-tiger Gang. I see that you are here to participate in the Cloud Rising Sect's outer disciple selection, right? If you know what's good for you, then hand over 10 top-grade yellow-grade Spirit Fostering Pills to us as payment for the passage. Otherwise, forget about participating in the selection, we'll break your legs right now and make you a beggar in Cloud Rising City.
The middle-aged man sneered.
"Black-tiger Gang? There are triads in Cloud Rising City? "
Ning Qi was slightly stunned.
They thought that Ning Qi was afraid and looked him up and down with evil intentions.
Suddenly, someone's eyes brightened, "Flowing Flame Robe. Isn't that the treasure of Old Wang's shop? Haha, it's worth at least 200 Inferior Spiritual Crystals! Take it off! "
The middle-aged burly man smiled and said, "Little brother, take off your clothes. We will give you five Spirit Raising Pills. You only need to give us five. With my Black Tiger Gang protecting you in the future, there is no need for you to participate in the Selection Meet. With your peak Dou Ling cultivation, you will not be able to enter the Cloud Rising Sect.
"What if I don't?"
Ning Qi laughed.
"No, brothers, he said he won't. Hahaha, beat him, beat him to death!"
The middle-aged man first sneered a few times, then his face changed, and he roared fiercely at Ning Qi.
"Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"
The aura of extreme Yang instantly filled the entire dark alley.
After a few dry howls came from inside, Ning Qi clapped his hands and left the alley.
Not long after, a group of badly battered Dou Wangs walked out while leaning on the wall.
"This kid is so strong!"
"What kind of martial skill is that? The eight of us Dou Wangs were no match for him! "
"I, Liang Gaofei, will definitely take revenge for this! Let's go and find the Young Sect Master. He's also going to the Cloud Rising Sect's selection meet this time! "
…
In the center of Cloud Rising City.
Because the Cloud Rising Sect's outer disciple selection meet was in a few days, all the inns were filled with people. The streets were filled with young talents who were already Dou Wangs and Dou Ling Dou Wangs. Some of them spoke in a language that Ning Qi couldn't understand. There were a total of ten lines at the registration point, and they were all lined up at the corner of the street. Each line had at least three to four hundred people.
Ning Qi found the line with the least number of people and joined it.
"Hey, are you also here to participate in the selection meet?"
Not long after, a fat man in his twenties appeared behind him. He was eight feet tall, and his waist was probably eight feet as well. At this moment, he was holding a greasy roast goose in his hand. He was eating as he asked Ning Qi.
He looked stupid, but his cultivation was a one star Dou Wang, and he was not much older than Ning Qi!
"Yes."
Ning Qi nodded.
The system told him to go to Cloud Rising Sect. After thinking about it, Ning Qi could only choose to become an outer disciple. If he sneaked in without permission, he might lose his life.
"Haha, me too, wu wu …"
The fat man stuffed the roast goose in his hand into his stomach and used his greasy hand to pat Ning Qi's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Come, let's get to know each other. I am Duan Yingjun from the Divine Dragon Mansion of the Nine State Empire."
Duan Yingjun? The Divine Dragon Mansion of the Nine State Empire?
Ning Qi's expression changed slightly. He immediately thought of Duan Lengmei.
"I am Ning Qi from the White Tiger Empire."
Ning Qi smiled.
"White Tiger Empire … oh! I know, I have some impression of it. However, it is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Cloud Rising City. How did you, a mere peak Dou Ling, get here? "
Duan Yingjun asked curiously.
"I just walked here."
Ning Qi said.
"Then your luck is really too good. Even I wouldn't dare to go that far without a few companions."
Duan Yingjun sighed.
He paused and said in a low voice, "However, Brother Ning, do you know how strict the Cloud Rising Sect's outer disciple selection is?"
"Oh? I would like to hear the details. "
Ning Qi's expression changed as he smiled faintly.
"The Cloud Rising Sect recruits outer disciples every year. However, the number of outer disciples is always maintained at one thousand. Not one more, not one less. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"That's because every year, the Cloud Rising Sect will lose at least one to two hundred outer sect disciples, and at most three to four hundred outer sect disciples. They either die at the hands of the Dragon Clan, or in forbidden grounds, or in conflicts. In short, if there's any danger, the outer sect disciples will be the first to face it, and then the inner sect disciples. As for the true disciples, they can only look down on everyone else."
Duan Yingjun laughed coldly.
"Then, the next year, the Cloud Rising Sect will recruit another one thousand outer disciples. Over the years, many of my former friends and enemies have died after becoming outer disciples of the Cloud Rising Sect."
"Oh? If that is the case, why are there still so many people rushing to join every year? Even now, there are at least four to five thousand people queuing up to sign up, right? "
Ning Qi laughed softly.
"That is because these people are from various large clans or sects. However, they are unwilling to be limited to this for the rest of their lives. That is why they come to try their luck. Only by becoming an outer disciple of the Cloud Rising Sect and surviving for over ten years will they have the chance to be promoted to an inner disciple. At that time, the training resources that they will receive will soar by a hundred times! Becoming a Dou Huang or even a Dou Zong is not a dream. "
Duan Yingjun sighed and said.
"Thank you, Brother Duan, for telling me so much information."
Ning Qi cupped his hands together.
"Actually, the reason why I said so much is to tell you that the Cloud Rising Sect's outer disciple selection will begin in a few days. It will be very cruel. They will throw us into the vast forest and divide an area for us to fight to the death. The Elders will observe from the sky. Only those who catch their eye will be taken away and become outer disciples. Those who do not catch their eye will be ignored even if they die in front of them. Brother Ning, your cultivation is too low. Look at them. They are at least a one star Dou Wang. If they enter the selection, I'm afraid they will not be able to survive. "
