In a dense forest near the courtyard where Lin Chen lived, looking at the gravel in front of him, Lin Chen's face was full of strange colors.

With a casual palm just now, he smashed a boulder with a diameter of several meters into the shape in front of him.

"I have definitely reached the level of a ninth-level martial artist, I still used the third-layer Broken Star to reach this level a few days ago, and I am useless today", Lin Chen said to himself excitedly as he stood in front of this pile of rubble.

That's right, now it has been nearly a year since Lin Chen first arrived in the Tianyun Sect, and in this year, in addition to watering, several people are soaking in that mysterious pool, and their strength has grown very rapidly.

The fat man and Ah Chang already had the strength of a ninth-level martial artist as early as a month ago, as for Lin Chen, I don't know if it was because of the cultivation of the broken star, he felt that his body could hold more power than ordinary people at the same level, so every time he advanced, he had to be slower.

However, under the triple strength bonus of the third layer of Broken Star, Lin Chen himself didn't know how strong his strength was at this time.

"Let's go, Xiao Huang" Lin Chen called the little guy who was still gnawing on a white spirit stone on the side, and said very sadly, this is an extra hobby that the little guy has since he woke up a year ago, so the thousands of ordinary spirit stones on Lin Chen's hand are almost eaten up by it.

Xiao Huang heard Lin Chen call it, quickly gnawed the spirit stone in his mouth a few times, jumped onto Lin Chen's shoulder, and the two of them left here immediately.

When Lin Chen came to the courtyard, he found that the fat man and Ah Chang were already waiting for him here.

As for Yu Yue, as early as half a year ago, because he couldn't stand staying here all day to water the medicine field, he left the sect and went back to Demon Rock City, and Lin Chen didn't know how he was doing at this time.

"Where did you run away again?" the fat man said loudly when he saw Lin Chen walking over with one person and one beast.

Lin Chen just smiled and didn't say anything, then changed the topic, "I remember that Senior Brother Xiao said today that he wanted us to gather in the outer gate hall, right?"

"That's right, we're here waiting for you to go with us," Chang began, and although he still looked the shortest and thinnest of the three, he was much better off than when he first arrived.

"Haha, then let's go" Lin Chen said with a smile and then walked outside with the three of them, after Yu Yue left, several people cherished this hard-won friendship more and more, and the relationship between the three of them at this time can be said to be very good.

When the three of them came to the inside of the main hall, they found that there were already six people standing inside, three men and three women, although they hadn't seen each other for nearly a year, Lin Chen still recognized them with his excellent memory, they were among the group of people who came with him at the beginning.

Not long after Lin Chen and the three of them came, a white-bearded old man walked out of the room in the hall, he glanced at the nine people in front of him, and then slowly spoke.

"The old man still didn't expect that nine of you people would stay in the end. ”

Hearing this, Lin Chen guessed in his heart, could it be that among the fifteen people who came with him, six of them left during the year.

The old man naturally didn't know what Lin Chen was thinking, he just continued to speak.

"Here, the old man would like to congratulate you all on officially becoming the outer disciple of our Tianyun Sect, presumably some people still don't know my name, the old man is responsible for managing the affairs of the outer sect of the sect, you can call me Elder Xia or Seventh Elder"

After listening to what Elder Xia said, everyone in the hall was taken aback, even Lin Chen, he originally thought that this year's coolie might be part of the test, but he didn't expect that this was already the real test.

Looking at everyone's surprised faces, Elder Xia smiled rarely, "The most important point in our Tianyun Sect's assessment of disciples is your character, no matter what your strength or talent is, as long as your heart does not meet the requirements, it is impossible to become a disciple of Tianyun Sect." ”

"That's why we arranged for you to do a year of miscellaneous labor, and we didn't tell you that this is an entry assessment, if you can't stick to it in just one year, then you are not qualified to become a disciple of Tianyun Sect."

Speaking of this, everyone present suddenly realized.

"Okay, let's take away your own outer disciple tokens from me", after speaking, nine disciple tokens that looked exactly the same as those that Lin Chen saw hanging from Senior Brother Xiao's waist appeared in Elder Xia's hand.

"To briefly mention it here, our Tianyun Sect's method of managing disciples is also different, it can be said that it is very free" Elder Xia pointed to the disciple token that everyone was holding in their hands.

"This token is engraved with a miniature spirit array, which contains your basic information, the most important point is", speaking of this, Elder Xia paused slightly, "The most important thing is that it records your contribution value in the sect, with which you can exchange all the exercises, spiritual objects, pills, etc. in the sect"

"You can even ask the elders to answer the problems you encounter during the cultivation process," Elder Xia said slowly.

"Then the Seventh Elder, how do you get this contribution value?", a female disciple in the crowd below suddenly asked, this is also what Lin Chen wants to know most at this time.

"The inner and outer gates of the sect have set up the Spirit Treasure Hall, go inside, you will all be clear, okay, if there is nothing to do, I will let you last time take those senior brothers to the place where you really live" Elder Xia glanced at everyone after speaking.

When Lin Chen heard Elder Xia say this, he actually had such a question in his heart that he wanted to ask.

"Elder Xia, may I ask why the rumors of our sect in the Eastern Wilderness are not very good?"

"Oh?" Elder Xia looked at Lin Chen and thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "You want to say that everyone outside says that our Tianyun Sect's strength is at the bottom of several major forces, right?"

Lin Chen smiled a little awkwardly, he really wanted to say this.

"There's nothing that can't be said," Elder Xia looked at Lin Chen and seemed a little embarrassed, "It's nothing more than two points, we Tianyun Sect have few people, and we just don't want to fight."

"Don't want to fight?" Lin Chen knew that it was a fact that there were few people in the Tianyun Sect, but he didn't understand what it meant that he didn't want to fight.

"That's right, in fact, the strength of our sect is not very low, it doesn't matter if I say it now, everyone will know in the future that the cultivation realms above the martial artists mainly include mortals, spirits, and legendary gods, and each realm is divided into four stages: primary, middle, high, and peak."

"There are actually only two people in the Eastern Wilderness whose strength has reached the peak of the spirit transformation, that is, the Sect Master of the Langyan Sect and the City Lord of the Demon Rock City, in addition, in fact, the level of the major forces is about the same, and even we are stronger than it, but our Tianyun Sect has different concepts, and we don't want to fight for some titles or anything. ”

"Okay" Elder Xia waved his hand after speaking, as if he didn't want to say anything more on this topic, "You wait here for a while, someone will come soon, if you have any problems in the future, you can also come here to find me", after saying that, he turned around and left.

At this time, Lin Chen didn't notice that Elder Xia had already walked away, and his heart was still ringing with the arrogant words of Qi Bai he had met at the Wang family.

"There is only garbage in the Eastern Wilderness..."

"Is it really just garbage in his eyes?" Lin Chen muttered silently.
