After a long time, Zhou Chen closed the booklet and breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing the contents of the booklet by heart.

The booklet not only records the door rules of the Qingyun Sect, but also the ten peaks of the inner gate, some information of each hall, and after reading the booklet, he also has a general understanding of some of the situations in the Qingyun Sect.

Putting down the booklet, Zhou Chen picked up the jade plaque hanging on his waist and played with it in his hand.

This jade plaque is only the size of a palm, milky white, and is carved from the finest mutton fat white jade.

The front of the jade plate is engraved with the three big characters of 'Qingyun Sect', such as iron hooks and silver strokes, the edge is exposed, and the back is engraved with Xuan Ming Peak, lifelike, input a little energy, this jade plate will emit light, showing the word 'Zhou Chen'.

This jade plate is Zhou Chen's identity token, representing Zhou Chen's identity.

Whether it is entering and exiting the inner gate, or Xuanming Peak, there is a formation prohibition on the mountain, with the identity token, you can walk around in some places, of course, there are also some places that belong to the forbidden place, and the identity token will also warn, and you can't break in casually.

Identity token, every disciple must carry it with him, otherwise he will be punished in accordance with the door rules when he encounters a law enforcement disciple, this is still a case of good luck, if it is unlucky, what prohibition is touched, it may be directly erased.

In addition to displaying the word 'Zhou Chen', the jade plate also has a string of numerical numbers.

This number is ranked according to the cultivation strength of the disciples of the Xuanying Peak to which they belong.

Because Zhou Chen was a freshman disciple, his ranking was the last among the disciples of Xuan Ming Peak.

The number displayed was 'seventy-six', which meant that there were seventy-five disciples on Xuanming Peak besides him.

The Ten Peaks of the Inner Gate, the recruitment of disciples is very strict, at least they must be semi-spiritual, in order to enter the eyes of the elders of the Ten Peaks, and if they cultivate at the Neigang level, they will worship in the Ten Peaks, otherwise they must break through to the True Yuan level and become an elite disciple before they are eligible to enter the Ten Peaks.

Of course, the disciples in the Ten Peaks of the Inner Gate were not all recruited by the Ascension Conference.

In general, it is divided into two parts, one part is the disciples recruited by the Ascension Conference, and the other part is the direct family members of some elders, these people are from the Qingyun Sect, and it can be said that they are the root seedlings.

There are also many relatives of Dharma protectors and deacons, and these people are able to maintain absolute loyalty to the Qingyun Sect because of their innocence, so it is much easier to join the Ten Peaks of the Inner Gate than to recruit disciples from the Ascension Conference.

Because they have lived since they were children in Qingyun Sect, even if these people have the same qualifications as the disciples of the outside families, their cultivation progress is much faster than that of the disciples of the outside families, and they can basically cultivate to the True Yuan level around the age of twenty.

And entering the Ten Peaks of the Inner Gate does not mean that you can sit back and relax.

In order not to let the group of disciples be too comfortable, each peak will conduct an annual small competition, and the higher the ranking disciple, the more resources can be obtained, and the faster the cultivation speed.

If you are ranked in the bottom five three times in a row, you will be stripped of your disciple status.

Therefore, the competition for the ranking among the disciples of each peak is also very fierce.

If he is dissatisfied with his ranking, then he can challenge the higher-ranked disciple at any time, and if he wins, he will replace the opponent's ranking, and everyone else will be ranked one place later in order.

Under normal circumstances, if you are challenged by others, as long as you are not in a dead retreat or not in the sect, you are not allowed to refuse to be challenged, and once you refuse, you will be directly recognized as a failure.

After the defeat, not only will the ranking be replaced, but the monthly salary for this month will also go to the winner.

However, if you accept one challenge a month, perhaps one challenge, you can turn down the rest.

Otherwise, more than a dozen people take turns to challenge and use wheel tactics every month, and there is no need to cultivate at all.

Of course, as a freshman disciple, Zhou Chen does not need to participate in the first annual competition, and his ranking is last, so he doesn't have to worry about anyone challenging him.

At this stage, he only needs to cultivate wholeheartedly.

"It's time to break through to the True Yuan level. Zhou Chen said secretly in his heart.

Within the Qingyun Sect, the competition is very fierce, and just the cultivation of the Neigang level is not enough to see at all.

Moreover, the Demon Dao Sect frequently appeared, the major sects of Shangyang County fought with it, and the disciples suffered heavy casualties, so the Qingyun Sect made an exception to recruit three hundred disciples, and the situation will definitely become more and more chaotic in the future, and the stronger the strength, the better you can protect yourself.

What's more, he doesn't want to join any faction and get involved in any whirlpool battles, which can't lack strength.

As long as he is strong enough, no one can bully him.

Zhou Chen came to the cultivation secret room.

The cultivation secret room has the existence of a formation prohibition, even if it is a Tianyuan-level powerhouse, it cannot be broken in a short period of time, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed by people when practicing in retreat in the secret room.

Zhou Chen meditated on the system in his heart, and a transparent box appeared in front of his eyes.

In the martial arts system, there were still four hundred units of energy left, which was enough for him to raise the Black Water True Technique from the third layer to the fourth layer.

In his mind, he imagined that his finger pressed hard towards the upward icon behind the Black Water True Technique, and all the four hundred units of energy were consumed, and then the peak of the third layer of the Black Water True Technique changed into the fourth layer of the initial formation.

Suddenly, the Black Water True Technique Exercise involuntarily operated, and the Gang Qi in Zhou Chen's dantian was constantly compressed and condensed, compressed, condensed, and so on, compressing and condensing all the Gang Qi to form a liquid energy.

In Zhou Chen's dantian, there was an extra dark black liquid energy.

This deep black liquid energy is the power of the True Yuan.

Zhou Chen's cultivation is the Black Water True Technique, and the power of this True Yuan is the Black Water True Yuan, exuding a cold aura.

According to the records in the booklet, the Zhenfeng Gong of Xuanming Peak is the "Black Water Xuanming True Scripture", with a total of twelve layers, of which the first six layers are the Zhou family's Zhen clan Gong Heishui True Recipe, and the seventh layer is the method that leads directly to the martial arts master.

From this point of view, the ancestor of the Zhou family does have a lot of relationship with the Qingyun Sect, and it may even be a disciple of Xuanming Peak.

The god of water, Xuanming, was a god with the same name as Xuanwu in ancient times.

In ancient times, Xuanming and Xuanwu competed for the title of the ancestor in the water.

Xuan Ming was born with the mastery of Xuan Ming True Water, which is an extremely cold and cold power, which can even freeze fire and space, and contains extremely strong corrosive power.

Everywhere Xuan Ming went, the cold air was cold, and there was frost for thousands of miles.

And Xuanwu was born to master a yuan of heavy water, this water is extremely heavy, there are 129,600 catties in every drop, if it converges into a big river, carrying the surging momentum, almost no one can stop it.
