Chapter 6 - Inner Court Selection



Chapter 6 – Inner Court Selection

Time passed in a flash.

Ten days later.

In these ten days, news of the death of the three disciples of the White Sun Sect in the Black Wind Forest spread like wildfire. At one point, Black Wind Town was greatly shaken.

Countless people were discussing the news.

Some people said that they had accidentally encountered a Qi Condensation beast in the depths of the Black Wind Forest and were killed.

However, their corpses could be considered complete, unlike how it would’ve been if they had been killed by beasts.

After all, if they were beasts, they would have long since lost their corpses. In addition, the treasures on their bodies had disappeared.

One only had to guess with his butt to know the answer. They had been robbed!!

After knowing this, many wandering cultivators were extremely excited. After all, the disciples of the White Sun Sect would often rob them. Yet now, they have suffered retribution. They had even lost their lives after being robbed.

Served them right!

Not long after, a White Sun Sect deacon arrived and brought Du Feng’s corpse back.

As for the other two disciples’ corpses, they didn’t even bother about them.

The deacon from the White Sun Sect had even asked some of the wandering cultivators as if he wanted to know who had done it. But these wandering cultivators had a grudge against Du Feng. Naturally, they would not say anything.

Furthermore, they did not know.

Seeing no good news, the deacon of the White Sun Sect quickly left.

Gu Yang also heard about the matter, but he did not care too much.

During these ten days, Gu Yang would hunt and kill beasts in the Black Wind Forest every day. If he was lucky, he would be able to encounter quite a few furious beasts and obtain some precious medicines.

However, when he was unlucky, he only encountered ferocious beasts. He couldn’t see a single Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

When he was tired from hunting, he would return to Black Wind Town to rest.

It could only be said that his luck wasn’t too good.

Sometimes, if one was unlucky, one would not be able to obtain anything for two consecutive days.

After hunting for ten days.

In total, he had only obtained one second-grade medicinal herb and five first-grade medicinal herbs.

In addition to the materials of the beast’s corpse, although the harvest wasn’t too much, it still earned ten thousand coins of silver, which was barely acceptable.

Then, Gu Yang directly bought a top-grade Spirit Gathering Pill worth ten thousand silver coins.

Even though the top-grade Qi Gathering Pills were expensive and could not be used by ordinary body refinement cultivators, the effects of the pills could not be described. After swallowing them, the chances of a cultivator breaking through to Qi Condensation would increase by 80%.

In addition, Gu Yang had no way to modify precious medicines like the Qi Gathering Grass, so he would rather sell the Qi Gathering Grass and then buy a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill.

There was no other way to seek stability. After all, he didn’t have much confidence in the true nature of this body.

Gu Yang then left Black Wind Town and returned to the sect. He had no intention of immediately consuming a top-grade Qi Condensation Pill.

This was to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm, but first, one had to cultivate a Qi Condensation Technique.

This was also a huge barrier for many cultivators.

If one wanted to cultivate the Qi Gathering technique, one would only be able to obtain it after entering the inner court.

Only inner sect disciples could be counted as disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Only then could they be fully nurtured by the sect. Outer court disciples could only be counted as half disciples.

Flowing Cloud Sect, Outer Court Square.

The inner court selection was nearing, quite a few outer court disciples had gathered here. They were all discussing enthusiastically.

“The inner court selection is going to be very intense. I wonder if I have a chance?”

“Keep dreaming. The inner court selection has a requirement to at least be at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm.”

“That high? Doesn’t that mean there aren’t many people participating?”

“Haha, do you think they are the same as you? Our outer court still has geniuses!”

“Let’s not talk about anything else, Ding Xuan will definitely be able to successfully enter the inner court this time!”

“Indeed, he killed a level-1 beast when only at the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm. He has probably broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm, right?”

“Nie Jin was not bad either! His sword technique was truly ghostly, like an illusion, divine! No one else can compare to him, right?”

“Who said that? Are you looking down on Zhao Wei?”

“Hiss, I almost forgot about that ruthless person!”

“That’s right! Zhao Wei’s fist is really hard! Even Nie Jin might not be able to guarantee a hundred percent victory!”

“From the looks of it, the possibility of the three of them entering the inner court in the selection this time around is the highest. As for the others … they’re likely that none of them will be able to enter.”

“…”

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Gu Yang, who had just returned to the sect, also had a glint in his eyes.

“Three geniuses? At the moment, it seems that nothing can threaten me.”

Gu Yang paused for a moment before shaking his head and walking to the side. He prepared to register, there were no more disciples in the registration area.

After all, there weren’t many disciples in the outer court that had attained the 10th stage of the Body Refinement Realm.

Soon, Gu Yang reported his name.

Of course, he didn’t directly display his Qi Condensation strength. Instead, he unleashed his physical power.

The deacon slowly nodded and memorized Gu Yang’s name.

The registration was considered successful.

Right at this moment, the bustling crowd suddenly became quiet, seeing this, Gu Yang couldn’t help but look up.

Then, he saw an outer court elder standing on the high platform.

He slowly spoke: “The inner court selection will begin soon. Before the competition begins, I will explain the rules of this inner court selection!”

He coughed lightly before announcing the rules.

“First, all of you should be well aware of the rules of the competition. Only by reaching the 10th Body Refinement stage would you be qualified to participate!”

“Of course, if you’re at the Qi Condensation Realm, you can directly become an inner court disciple.”

“After the competition is successful, the selection will begin!”

“The rules of the selection competition are very simple. Look behind me.”

Not far behind the elder, shockingly, there was a duelling ground.

“When you enter the corresponding duelling grounds, a ferocious beast will appear inside. If you fight with a ferocious beast, you will be able to enter the inner court if you perform well!”

“The elders will watch at the beginning of the game, and the best performer will not only be able to enter successfully. At the inner door, you can get ten low-grade spirit stones!”

Hearing the elder’s words, instantly, the entire square was filled with excitement.

“I didn’t expect it to be a battle with a ferocious beast?”

“In the past, I remember it was just some sort of trap. How could it be so difficult this time?”

“Although it’s more difficult, the rewards are even more generous!” Many people began discussing. However, they were talking about the difficulty of this selection.

Of course, these outer disciples were not qualified to participate. They were just talking.

As for the qualified disciples. They all looked impatient.

Seeing this, the outer sect elder did not say much.

He waved.

Immediately, the deacon with the list walked to the side.

“Chen Yue.”

The outer disciple who was called by the name hurried forward, ready to enter the arena. Of course, after entering the duelling grounds, a ferocious beast was quickly released.

The battle was about to begin.

In less than ten minutes.

The disciple was almost bitten to death. Fortunately, the elder saved his life in time.

“Fail.” The outer court elder calmly answered.

Hearing this, the disciple immediately lowered his head. He quickly walked away.

Following that, more and more disciples were called into the arena.

“Fail.”

“Fail.”

“Fail.”

The outer door elder read out the results expressionlessly.

The few of them had all failed, not a single one succeeded!

There was even a disciple whose thigh was injured and a large piece of flesh was bitten off by the beast. Even the bones were exposed.

Very shocking!

This also made many outer court disciples sigh.

Sure enough, this time, the inner court selection was even more difficult than before!

The outer court elder frowned.

This year’s outer disciples had such low standards?

Just as the outer elders were feeling disappointed.

The deacon also spoke slowly.

“Next, Zhao Wei.”
