The dark and deep seabed.

In the depths of the huge trench, behind a piece of seagrass tens of feet high like a primeval forest, there was a dark light shield within a radius of several miles, blocking all breath.

In this area tens of thousands of feet away from the sea, the body of the human monk is extremely weak, and only the magic weapon can withstand the terrifying pressure of the sea water, or the strong person who has the cultivation above the True Realm can move freely.

The light mask was transformed by a defensive magic weapon, and in the core area inside, more than a dozen mysterious figures sat quietly under an altar.

The altar was filled with black mist, and the aura was surging to the sky, and clusters of blue flames the size of a human head slowly rose and floated along a specific trajectory, with a strange suction, as if they were about to swallow everything around them.

In the center of the altar was a blue bead the size of a sea bowl, and dozens of flags made of unknown materials were distributed around the beads in a special formation, and majestic mana fluctuations circulated in it.

More than a dozen strangely dressed monks sat around, staring blankly at the flames flying and jumping on the altar. The body exudes the aura of alien creatures that obviously do not belong to the human race.

“…… How long will we have to wait? ”

After a long time, a gloomy voice sounded.

"The altar's mana is close to being full, and it will be ready to be activated about tonight! According to the news from the Demon God, the time for this ancient cave to see the light of day is these days, and it will almost be able to catch up. A deep voice replied.

"It's just that the rumors have leaked out, and now many monks in the outside world have already known the news of the Cave Mansion, and I heard that some big sects have sent strong people to come, and the situation is a little unfavorable for us. After all, the land is the sphere of influence of the Terran Race, and we Sea Clan people will inevitably suffer some losses. ”

"It's okay, the strength we prepared this time is enough, and we can completely block those annoying human monks and take back the relics of His Majesty the Ancient Sea Emperor."

"It's said that we don't need to fight to the death with the human monks, as long as we can temporarily hold them back and buy time to open the cave."

Another cold voice came: "Isn't that island still inhabited by hundreds of millions of ordinary humans?" At that time, those low-level sea tribes will be launched to go ashore to besiege, as long as they can kill half of the people for blood sacrifice, they can open the cave ban faster and easier, and disrupt the plans of those Terran monks. ”

"When it is launched, the Demon God Lord will personally come and lead the masters of our clan to sweep away all foreign enemies, and the relics of His Majesty the Sea Emperor can only belong to our clan."

"Very good!"

……

Inside the ship.

When it was time for dinner, Qin Feng left his cabin and walked towards the dining room area.

Walking along the spacious corridor, you can see many outer disciples who are dressed the same as yourself passing by. There are also many young white-clothed men and women, and the state of essence and spirit is generally stronger, this is the inner disciple, and the cultivation is usually at the level of the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm, and occasionally one or two Yunji Realms can be seen.

In the entrance area, Qin Feng was somewhat surprised to see two young men from the Yun Dan Realm, dressed in luxurious purple robes, with deep eyes and awe-inspiring breath, these were the core disciples of the Taihao Star Palace.

According to the practice of this super sect, the sevenfold Qi Refining Realm is the threshold for the disciples of the outer sect; If you can reach the peak of the Qi Refining Realm or the cultivation of the Great Perfection Period, plus the meritorious contribution is enough, you can be promoted to the inner gate, of course, as long as you break through the Yunji realm, then no matter whether the merit is enough or not, you can become an inner disciple.

The threshold for core disciples is higher, in addition to sufficient contributions, cultivation must reach the peak of the Yunji realm to be qualified, but if the cultivation is low to the Yundan realm, then it is a certain core disciple.

The criteria for status promotion are nothing more than contribution and self-cultivation, but cultivation is more important than contribution. The strong are respected, this is the practice formed by the Yuanluo Realm Heaven for millions of years.

The dining room is large in size, with rows of seats neatly arranged, so that thousands of people can dine without stress. Such a huge building ship, which is not inferior to the starship, in addition to the many disciples and elders on board, the servants and maids, and the monks who control the building ship, the total number adds up to a considerable number.

Qin Feng didn't say much, found an unoccupied seat and sat down, and then picked up a roll of jade recipes on the table and ordered.

The tables and chairs are all precious crystal silk black sandalwood texture, exuding a faint fragrance, with the effect of calming the mind and removing the distractions of demons and demons, which has always been enjoyed only by the top princes and nobles in the secular world, but it can be seen everywhere in this place.

After a moment, a streamer of light fell lightly on the table, turning into a rather large white jade food box, and after opening, the tempting aroma overflowed, making people appetizing.

Hundred-year-old nine-bearded ginseng soup, the heart and liver of the flaming winged tiger, the black sturgeon meat of the Yin River, and the rhinoceros horned beast...... They are all high-end ingredients that nourish qi and blood essence and strengthen the body and bones.

When a can of ginseng soup entered, Qin Feng only felt that his internal organs were warm, the heat was rolling, and he felt comfortable everywhere in his body.

"This tastes good......"

Qin Feng was very satisfied, he was worthy of being a top-level sect, and the treatment of the disciples of the outer sect was better than that of most princes and nobles in the secular world, not to mention the inner disciples, and the food they enjoyed was even more precious. As for the core disciples, there is a supply of pills three times a day, but there is no need to eat these anymore, unless it is to satisfy the appetite.

Eating like a storm, after eating one table, he ordered another table, anyway, there is no limit to the outer disciples in this regard, as long as you can finish eating, you can eat as much as you want, but you can't take it away or waste it.

And it is also beneficial to have the starship secretly scan and analyze the ingredients of these ingredients and collect information.

"This junior brother has a good appetite."

A peaceful voice sounded in his ears, and when Qin Feng looked up, he saw two outer disciples standing in front of him, with a slight smile in their eyes.

"Seeing each other is fate, is it together?" The fatter young man asked with a smile.

Qin Feng nodded, anyway, this table is big enough, and it won't be crowded if there are a few more people.

The two disciples sat down opposite him and told each other their names, the fat man's name was Pei Zhonglin, and the one who spoke first was Kang Yuanfeng, both of whom were in the Qi Refining Realm and were expected to be promoted to inner disciples. Moreover, they had entered the sect two years ago, and this time they came out to experience and accumulate meritorious deeds.

"Sect merits are too hard to earn,"

Pei Zhonglin held the wine jue, with a hint of helplessness in his expression: "We have worked hard for so long, and we are still a long way from the standard of the inner disciples." ”

Qin Feng's eyes flashed slightly: "Meritorious service is not easy to earn, then it is better to concentrate on cultivation, as long as you advance to the Yunji Realm, how can you not run away from the position of this inner disciple?" ”

"How can it be so easy?"

Kang Yuanfeng shook his head: "There are so many outer disciples in the sect, even if they practice diligently and do not lack resources, they can finally cross this pass, and they are all one out of ten, which is really too difficult." ”

Pei Zhonglin added: "And the Yin Yang Yun Ji Dan is too precious, it requires a large amount of sect contributions to exchange, and the success rate of one pass is not high, so it is not as easy as going out to practice and do tasks." ”

The Yin Yang Yunji Pill is one of the key resources for the disciples of the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm to lay the Dao Foundation and break through to the Yunji Realm, this kind of elixir is a scarce resource for any Dao cultivator, and it requires a variety of rare and precious elixirs, which are personally shot by the core elder-level alchemists, and it takes several years of hard work to be able to refine a furnace of Cheng Dan.

Due to the difficulty in controlling the medicinal properties and heat, the rejection rate of this elixir is extremely high, but its demand is particularly large, so the market price has been high.

For the outer and inner disciples, this thing is indeed not ordinarily expensive, and only the net worth of the core disciple level can be relatively easily afforded.

"It seems that the number of inner disciples is so small, it has something to do with this elixir, right?" Qin Feng was thoughtful.

Pei Zhonglin said with a smile: "No, if the Yin Yang Yun Ji Dan can be provided openly, the number of inner disciples will probably increase by more than ten times." ”

As the top sect of the Yuanluo Realm, the standard for selecting disciples is not high, and being able to pass the assessment to become an outer disciple is already a very rare Junyan elite in the secular world, and many family lords and royal families are willing to find ways to send their outstanding heirs to the door for cultivation.

However, among the outer disciples, only a few of them have the opportunity to go further, and most of them usually mix for a few years, and when they are old, they will go down the mountain and go home, marry a wife, have children, and inherit the powerful family business of their fathers. And those disciples who come from poor families usually choose to serve the sect for life, and after a few years, if they are lucky, they can mix in the position of deacon and elder of the outer sect.

Qin Feng's eyes flashed slightly: "How many inner disciples are there in the sect?" ”

"As far as we know, it's probably in the early 10,000s, maybe a little more, but it's also limited."

Kang Yuanfeng shook his head and sighed: "There will be only one inner disciple out of almost fifty outer disciples, Senior Brother Qin, you can imagine how fierce the competition is, there is no real ability, no extraordinary luck, how can you get your wish like this?" ”

"That'...... The number of core disciples should be less, right? ”

"Yes, the total number of core disciples of our sect who have disclosed their identities is less than three hundred, and this is still the result of accumulation over the years. Strictly speaking, there are actually only a dozen or so people who can successfully advance to the core disciples every year. Kang Yuanfeng said.

Qin Feng estimated slightly, and already had a relatively intuitive idea of the difficulty of the promotion of this core disciple, which was much more difficult than the powerhouse of the Xingmeng World to ignite the divine fire.

As for the status of the core disciples, needless to say, they are all the future high-level reserves of the sect, and the next generation of leaders and core elders were born from this group.

Pei Zhonglin looked melancholy: "As long as we stay up for a while, the inner disciples are still sure, as for this core disciple, it is difficult to say, there is no special opportunity, there is no need to hope." ”

Qin Feng's expression was indifferent: "I heard that the training task of the sect this time is quite unusual, if we can make some contributions, maybe we can be promoted soon, right?" ”

Kang Yuanfeng's expression moved slightly, and he was about to ask him if he knew something, but he immediately remembered that Qin Feng was just a new disciple, and his qualifications were even shallower than his own, how could he know any inside information?

"I hope so." In the end, he just said it perfunctorily.

Qin Feng quietly talked to them for a while, and then said goodbye on the pretext of returning to the room to cultivate.

In the middle of the night, the expected change came as scheduled.
