LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 4: Disciple status
It is said that the Xuan Dao Sect's mountain gate is located on a giant spiritual vein, the closer it is to the core, the denser the spiritual energy, which is beneficial for cultivation.
Cultivation realms are currently divided into Qi Sense, Open Spirit, Essence Origin, Dao Foundation, and Dharma Body, five major realms.
Each realm is divided into Initial, Middle, and Late stages based on the level of cultivation maturity.
The strength is also different day and night.
The Xuan Dao Sect has many disciples, based on the realm, it is divided into Inner Sect, Outer Sect, and miscellaneous service area.
The miscellaneous service disciples are all mortals who have just entered the sect, have limited aptitude, or stop at the Qi Sense realm.
If the aptitude is a little better, accumulates over time, breaks through to Open Spirit Realm, then can become Outer Sect disciples, enter the inner region to cultivate, no need to do miscellaneous work.
And those with good enough comprehension and deep enough affinity can rise above the hundreds of thousands of disciples to become a Essence Origin cultivator, and will become an Inner Sect disciple.
Inner Sect disciples are the center of the sect's strength, and are nurtured with all their might, and are the future prosperity and decline of an entire sect.
Therefore, each appearance of an Inner Sect disciple brings about a great commotion.
As for the remaining Dao Ji and Dharma Body cultivators, to this level, there is no detailed introduction in the book.
But according to Yang Han's judgment, these people should be at the Elder or Sect Master level, like a divine dragon whose head cannot be seen but its tail cannot be seen, and people with low status like him can only imagine it.
The residence of the handyman disciples is arranged in the outermost area, in charge of all kinds of miscellaneous tasks in the sect, the residence is also divided into four areas, East, South, West, and North.
The east side is the mine, the west side is the miscellaneous work, the north side is the medicinal field, the south side is the spirit beast.
The miscellaneous work disciples in each area must accept work, complete various tasks assigned by the sect. From there, they receive contribution points.
The contribution points can be exchanged for various cultivation resources from the sect's treasury or used to pay for other expenses.
Even the accommodation here, in addition to the first three months being free, from the fourth month onwards, it will be deducted from each person's personal contribution points.
This is what Yang Han read in the Introductory Guide that Senior Brother Guo brought over.
Yang Han did not have too many questions about these things.
Only by working can one eat, the strong live, the weak die.
No matter where you are.
It is said that cultivators are carefree and at ease, but how can it not be more complicated and complicated? Every wrong step can lead to eternal damnation.
You deceive me, I deceive you, it is all common practice.
In addition to the Introductory Guide, each registered disciple was also given a bottle of medicinal pills and a small cloth bag.
This cloth bag was embroidered with silk brocade, it was just a normal bag and not a storage bag or anything rare.
This bag felt cool and smooth to the touch, inside Yang Han checked and found a copy of the introductory Heart Method of Qi Sen Jue, a bottle of three low-grade Qi Condensing Pills, a jade token, and a low-grade spirit stone.
The Qi Condensing Pill had the effect of helping the initiated cultivator quickly sense the Spiritual Qi, speeding up their cultivation.
The jade token was the identity token of each disciple, on top was a design representing the Xuan Dao Sect, on the back if you looked closely you would see the two words "Yang Han" and the number "0" floating above.
This number meant that Yang Han currently had '0' contribution points.
Putting these things aside, Yang Han's hand nervously picked up the book of the Heart Method for the Beginners of Qi Sen.
After all, Yang Han was a modern person, and he still had a sense of excitement and curiosity towards this type of cultivation method.
The book was made of a material similar to animal skin, and it felt smooth and cool when touched.
Yang Han adjusted his posture and began to read carefully.
Time passed by in a flash, and the space was unusually quiet.
Only occasionally could he hear the sound of Yang Han flipping through the book.
Gradually, his eyelashes grew tighter and tighter.
Fortunately, he slept all night yesterday, and his spirit had completely recovered.
Until noon, Yang Han heard his stomach growling, and according to Senior Brother Guo's previous instructions, he went to the dining hall to eat.
The food here was especially rich, however, Yang Han was in no mood to eat, he just filled his hungry stomach and returned to his residence, continuing to study books.
It wasn't until night, when the weather gradually turned a little cold, that Yang Han closed the book in his hand.
At this time, he closed his eyes, and began to recall each sentence and word in his mind, carefully recalling the content inside.
Only now did he understand how important the issue of aptitude and comprehension was.
In his previous life, he had read novels where the genius character would only glance at the secret manual and immediately use it, even reaching max level in the blink of an eye.
However, only after getting involved would he know that things weren't that simple.
This book is an introduction to the Qi-sensing Technique, the words inside are comprehensive, each sentence and each word has a hidden meaning, must learn it by heart, engrave it in the mind, and then personally comprehend the wonderful meaning inside, and proceed to apply it to cultivation.
After considering for a while, Yang Han took out a small bottle, poured out a pill the size of half a fingertip into his hand.
「Ding! Discovered Inferior Grade Qi-Condensing Pill」
「Characteristics: A medicinal pill used for Qi-sensing and below realms, has the effect of warming the meridians, strengthening the Qi-sensing. Taking it will speed up cultivation within an hour. Refining can gain 10 experience points.」
After pondering for a while, Yang Han put the Qi-Condensing Pill into his mouth and swallowed it.
A slight bitterness and medicinal smell flowed through his throat, turning into a warm stream that filled his limbs and seas.
Yang Han hurriedly sat down in meditation, and began to cultivate the Qi-sensing Technique.
After about a few minutes, a reminder rang out in his head.
「You have some insight into the Qi-Gaining Technique, +1 experience point.」
It worked!
Yang Han was secretly happy in his heart, cultivating even more diligently.
Two hours later, Yang Han opened his eyes, slowly spitting out a mouthful of turbid air.
Just now, he tried using the Qi-Gaining Pill to cultivate in the first hour, and as a result, he obtained 3 experience points.
Two hours later, he cultivated without the Qi-Gaining Pill to assist, and was shocked that he had not obtained a single experience point in two hours.
Opened the board to examine it.
「 Name: Yang Han 」
「 Cultivation: Ordinary 15/100 」
「 Cultivation method: Qi Sen Jue 」
「 Equipment: Miscellaneous disciple's clothes, identity token, bottle of Qi Condensing Pill, 1 low-grade spirit stone,… {Click to see all} 」
「 Experience points: 0 」
After calculating it over and over again, it was still the most profitable to melt the pill into the Creation Furnace to absorb it.
Recalling his shock when he tried it, losing 7 experience points, Yang Han felt heartbroken.
Storing the remaining Qi Condensing Pill, it was not enough to level up for now, Yang Han was not in a hurry to absorb it.
He turned around and took out another low-grade spirit stone to examine it.
「 Ding! Low-grade spirit stone discovered: Rare ore containing spirit energy. It has some uses in cultivation or breakthrough. Refining can gain 12 experience points. 」
It seems that both low-grade spirit stones and Qi-Condensing Pills can be used to refine and increase cultivation. Compared to using them normally, they will have some increase.
Absorbing the teachings from Qi-Condensing Pills, Yang Han also did not want to absorb this only low-grade spirit stone to assist in cultivation as usual, but kept it carefully.
Because the low-grade spirit stones here, in addition to the function of cultivation, are also considered as money for trading between cultivators.
Entering this place, the people who come and go are all people in the cultivation world, the gold and silver of the mortal world have long lost their original value.
Yang Han was not in a hurry to absorb it, money is like a piece of meat, so he just kept it there for now.
After arranging everything, Yang Han saw that it was getting late, so he rested and gathered his strength. Tomorrow, he would go to the Affairs Hall to find out what the work was. Senior Brother Guo had previously instructed him several times. Of course, this work project was extremely important, and Yang Han did not dare to neglect it.
