Chapter 105: Desiring to Go to Lingyin Workshop
From Nascent Soul to Celestial Transformation Stage, many cultivators get stuck here, unable to advance an inch for their entire lives.
According to her Master, what she needs to do now is temper her mental state and then wait for sufficient accumulation.
Temper her mental state?
Chi Jiuyu considered herself invincible in the world when it came to this kind of thing!
"Let's go! We'll go to your place first. You probably haven't been there yet, right? There's not a single new Disciple like you."
"..."
Wasn't my schedule yesterday arranged by you?
Zhang Yunlu paused, ultimately saying nothing, just nodding.
"Okay."
The two left the Preaching Hall. The old woman leaning on the lounge chair, pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes to look at their retreating figures. Only after they were completely gone did she close her eyes again.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain.
The two took a flying shuttle, just like yesterday.
Sitting in the spacious and comfortable back seat, through the one-way glass window, they could see the surrounding scenery gradually receding, and occasionally streaks of light flashed past them.
"Here, this is for you."
Chi Jiuyu handed her a black metal plate.
"What is this?"
Zhang Yunlu took it. It felt cold to the touch but was extremely light. There were no patterns on it, only a vigorous character 'main'.
"This is the token for our 'Future Sect Master Alliance' team. The application was approved yesterday," Chi Jiuyu explained.
"This character means... Sect Leader?"
"That's right, isn't that our goal?"
Originally, she wanted to engrave 'sect' on it, which would have made it look very much like a Sect Leader's token, but the people in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall absolutely refused to use that character.
With no other option, she could only settle for the next best thing.
Holding the black token, Zhang Yunlu couldn't help but recall the scene when the Sect Leader took her to handle the procedures yesterday.
She couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Come to think of it, for a newly initiated Qi Refining stage Disciple like herself, wasn't doing this a bit too arrogant?
Before long, the flying shuttle finally arrived at its destination.
Beneath the clouds and mist, clusters of towering residential buildings were faintly visible in the hazy fog.
As they got closer, the outlines of the tall buildings gradually became clear. The light yellow exterior walls reflected a soft light under the sun, and between the buildings, scattered green belts were visible, like dark green jadeite stones interspersed among them.
Qingfeng District Forty-Seven could accommodate thousands of residents.
It was equivalent to student dormitories in a school.
Living here were some female Sword Sect Disciples in the Qi Refining stage, and Zhang Yunlu was also arranged to live here.
"Qingfeng District Forty-Seven. I also lived here when I was in the Qi Training stage," Chi Jiuyu said with emotion.
She also followed the rules when she was in the Qi Refining stage.
Zhang Yunlu looked at the residential buildings below and couldn't help but recall a book she had read in the school library.
The book mentioned content regarding this aspect.
In the ancient era, the Sword Sect was already considered the best among all Sects regarding treatment of ordinary Disciples, but Disciples in the Qi Refining stage still lived in collective dormitories with six to ten people.
Only upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage would they have a small independent courtyard.
But now, due to the rapid development of the era, the treatment of Disciples by each Sect has been continuously improving.
Therefore, the Sword Sect's former collective dormitories have also been replaced by residential buildings like the ones before them.
How nice.
While she was thinking, the flying shuttle landed on the rooftop of one of the residential buildings.
The two got off the flying shuttle, walked through the open door on the rooftop into the building, and then took the elevator to the eighteenth floor.
There were only two Disciples per floor, two households per elevator, which could be said to be quite good for a 'dormitory'.
"1801, this is it!"
After confirming, Chi Jiuyu had Zhang Yunlu step forward and swipe her identity jade token.
Beep!
The door lock lit up slightly, and the door opened.
Walking into the room, what greeted them was a warm and comfortable living room. Beige sofas and carpet were paired with a log-colored coffee table, simple and elegant.
The floor-to-ceiling windows brought in ample sunlight, making the entire space bright and airy.
There was one kitchen, one living room, one bathroom, two bedrooms, and it was also equipped with a study and a quiet room for meditation. All kinds of daily necessities were also readily available.
"Remember to register your magic power aura, so the door lock will require a dual procedure to open," Chi Jiuyu also came inside. "But if it's Xiao Yunlu, you don't have to register it, you'll be moving out soon anyway."
Zhang Yunlu glanced around.
Although she had learned about it in books before, the treatment of Sword Sect Disciples was still somewhat beyond her expectation.
To be honest, the living conditions here were even slightly better than at home.
Chi Jiuyu walked over to the sofa and leaned directly onto it. "After watching for so long last night, you should be confident about Foundation Establishment, right?"
"Mm."
"That's good then. Rest well. After you reach Foundation Establishment in a while, remember to write down your insights. Selling them to the Preaching Hall can earn you quite a few contribution points."
You can earn contribution points while showing off; such good things are rare!
Contribution points...
It seems using the Foundation Establishment cultivation room and the Starry Sky simulation trial ground both require spending contribution points.
As a newly initiated Disciple, the Sect issued her two hundred contribution points.
But two hundred... might not be enough.
"Besides writing Foundation Establishment insights, are there any other ways to earn contribution points?"
"You're short on contribution points? I can lend them to you!"
Zhang Yunlu shook her head.
Understood, this is about being self-reliant.
Chi Jiuyu nodded. She indeed had her style from back then.
Although she was raised by her Master, besides asking her for a Starship once, she had never asked her for anything else.
"Emm... I got it!" Chi Jiuyu clapped her hands. "Go challenge the rankings! It's perfect since you're still in the Qi Refining stage."
"Challenge the rankings?"
"It's the virtual illusion combat rankings, that old-fashioned thing. You fight against others in the same Realm to compete for rankings. The top hundred can get quite a few contribution points."
Many teams improve their team's reputation by raising their ranking on the combat rankings.
After learning about this method, Chi Jiuyu got first place in Qi Training, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul stages.
She is still ranked first on the Nascent Soul combat rankings.
However, it was useless; her 'Future Sect Master Alliance' still only has her.
...
In the bamboo forest below the Sword Reverence Great Hall, Xu Xing was leaning on a lounge chair, holding a fishing rod.
The spirit fish in the pond swam rapidly, chasing the bait on the fishhook.
However, the fishhook was elusive in the pond, and no matter how hard those spirit fish tried, they couldn't catch it.
Are you fishing?
Or are you teasing the fish?
Bie Xuening sat beside him, watching calmly.
Sometimes, Senior Brother would exhibit some inexplicable actions.
"When are you planning to go to Lingyin Workshop?" she asked softly.
"As soon as possible. Go early, come back early."
This time he was going to see Ling Zu. Out of respect, it was better to go in person.
After all, back then, Ling Zu was the only one who didn't step forward to stop him, right?
"You might go early, but you might not be able to come back early."
"Hmm? Senior Sister, what do you mean by that? Can Ling Zu force me to stay?"
Xu Xing didn't quite understand. He was just going to ask some things and meet someone, so why couldn't he come back early?
Bie Xuening's eyes flickered slightly. She didn't answer but said, "Wait for a while. Then, let Jiu Yu go with you."
Bring Jiu Yu along?
Why bring her along? To steal my lines?
Xu Xing lifted the fishing rod in his hand, and a spirit fish was caught. The entire fish hung straight on the hook, not moving.
It seemed as if it was already satisfied just by eating this mouthful of fish food.
After unhooking it, Xu Xing directly threw it back into the pond, and then casually scattered a handful of fish food into it.
Watching the fish in the pond scramble for the fish food.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Senior Sister."
He had plenty of time now, so Xu Xing was not in a hurry.
